No, No cause I have more to say about Miku Expo.

[putting a read more cause I have a LOT to say and I'm very angry but I will do a funny video drawing on this soon so whatevs]

They so HEAVILY advertised with the holograms. Even to say you can't bring your own lightstick as it could ruin the whole projection.

Only for it to be the worlds smallest movie theater tv.

I'm disgusted. THEN I FIND OUT. You can't even resell your tickets. They've CLOSED THE OPTION to RESELL the TICKETS.

The staff doesnt know whats going on and neither do we. The band sounds great but its too loud over her voice. (or her voice is too quiet >=[.)

Her model is so tiny on the screen you cant see it from a few feet away or anywhere in the stands and side viewers are COMPLETELY FUCKED.

Not to mention the ridiculous merchandising issues.

Online sold out in a matter of minutes and didn't load for a majority of people to purchase anyhow myself included.

And IN PERSON VENUES ARE WORSE. Under 100 lightsticks at Vancouver, Portland, and San Jose. The MAIN merch attraction. Not that the keychains were much BETTER but lightsticks are incredibly important to the actual LOOK of the show?

THEN! YOU LEARN MIKU AND AQOURS (AND GENSHIN???) DID A LED SHOW AND IT LOOKED BETTER THAN HER 10TH ANIVERSARY SHOW!

AND FINALLY YOU REMEMBER THAT MIKU IS GOING TO COACHELLA APRIL 12TH.

-if shes still an LED we'll not only be pissed but MAJORLY EMBARRASSED.

-If shes a hologram we'll be expecting that SAME ENERGY AT THE DAMN CONCERT THE MAJORITY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON.

I'm okay with leds if done correctly but the LIGHTSHOW DOESNT EVEN LOOK GOOD ITS DISTRACTING AT BEST FROM THE TINY ASS SCREEN AND PAINFULLY BAD AT WORST.

My Highschool theater did better lightwork at their production of god-damned Anastasia!

Crunchyroll your ass is GRASS. I have never been more appauled in my life.

You tricked thousands of people into buying tickets to what they expected to be a miku concert for what is essentially a glorified 4D aquarium movie.

A A A A A !!!!!

Personal Tidbit:

I was going for my birthday. And I still am. Not like I have a choice. I can't even resell or refund my fucking ticket.

Mohg feels like Gehrman all over again to me, everyone latched on one interpretation and doesnt realize how you can see more than what they be telling u fr. The miquella situation is crazy.

Rant below cut

Lets be honest, a cutscene and an item desc cant describe a whole character, for all we know Mohg could only use the consort position to validate his title only. the way he emerged is by the vein, the finger. In varre's questline he pricks your finger, putting accursed blood in you to validate you for the dynasty, he drips out of his finger the same way as how the item you get from varre does, like a rite of passage of sorts.

Its more of Mohg trying to nurture Miquella to get the title of lord out of it, the assault part also confuses me because where? The bloody bedchamber reffers to the blood-filled coocoon, bc as the cutscene shows it has blood in it. Mohg tried to make Miquella prosper but it was futile bc what was inside was a husk, rendering Mohgs cause useless.

Miquella was only transported and set in the cocoon and once Mohg began trying to infuse the blood, he probably set a deploy, to go to the lands of shadow.

Its just Micolash over again, trying to achieve something and not realizing its useless to keep going. Micolash wants eyes but doesnt realize its too late for that because hes dead already.

Mohg wants to become a lord but the gateway he had, which was miquella's favor, was gone all along.

Anyways there's a lot of constructive criticism for the season but I am hungry for any content a producer will dump in my hands for a show I like I could honestly care less

(Mini rant in tags)

[doodleferp]

Deadass if y’all don’t go see The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, you will be doing yourselves a GREAT disservice

It’s a retelling of Frankenstein about a genius girl who wants to cure death and brings her big brother back from the dead, produced by none other than my boys Crypt TV! Plus the film has an all-black main cast and focuses a lot on the community that the characters have with each other! The music and prosthetics are great for the budget and istg if you don’t go see it you WILL wish you did

EDIT 11/10/2023: Since this post is getting more circulation than it did when it first got published, Angry Black Girl is available to stream on Shudder and ALLBLCK, and you can buy it on iTunes and Amazon Prime!

Inktober: The 31 Days of Vaati, Day #31: "A Few Spare Bricks"

"[epic guitar noises]" (okay, this is an instrumental…)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here we have Vaati and Octavo dressed as Belafu and Wazukyan from "Made in Abyss"!

This year's joyride is over. I don't know what I'll do next year, though. Maybe another concept album like this? I dunno. Either way, this was really fun. Random fun fact: this song is apparently called "Last Few Bricks", but I swear to god that it was called "A Few Spare Bricks". I don't know how I messed THAT one up… Ooops.

Song I was listening to when I drew this: "Last Few Bricks" by Pink Floyd.

So I found a cool cave with a biome from the biomes o' plenty mod (it has blue glowing mushrooms) and me being me, put on peaceful for a calming cave experience. Deeper in that cave was an area with Deep Dark stuff and screamers so I was like: Oh look at that-- And jumped to it from instinct, it was a looong fall and I was panicking like: WAit NO-- So mini heart attack averted by a miraculous save from the waterfall nearby that I somehow managed to get to in time.

And then I saw the screamers like all arrogant like: Haha! Scream all you want I'm on peaceful-- Then I turned around and saw a pair of eyes from a creature and had another mini heart attack moment I had to pause my game to ACTUALLY triple check "Am I in peaceful???" I was. And that creature was a bear that for some reason was spawned so deep in the cave I thought it was a monster cuz it was so dark and I didn't have a torch.

Can't even exist in my god damn comfort fandoms anymore

[blackfemmecharacterdependency]

I'ma tell y'all something, and y'all bet not FW me about it, but, WHY, I'm sittin here making some lists for Spooky Season or whatever and I tried to go find Tallulah from Bordello of Blood

And I found her or whatever, and was gonna look for some content and whatnot, because in my memory, this was Denise Matthews, AKA Vanity, of Vanity 6 fame and so forth

So I was like... tryna pull up some things and Mr. Google wasn't helping, no matter what.

Well, the problem was, he kept saying it was some other chick and my memory was like... surely, everyone is wrong but me lol. Because they was saying it was this lady:

And I am not culturally competent enough to know what kinda name that is, but it had looked like a white lady name to me, therefore, I bunny hopped down the lil rabbit hole and...

I found that lady.

And I was like, well... that certainly isn't Vanity Denise, so I was wrong, but I can maybe prolly still throw Tallulah on the thing. Lemme see where this woman is from and stuff.

I... am going to keep her. Because even though she look mad ambiguous outside of that movie, I'm gonna just stick with the memory that there was a Black hoe vampire at the Cunningham Wake. Trinidadian don't necessarily mean Black, but I read her as Black and I'm reading her now as Blindian.

With her Vanity lookin ass.

(This is Vanity. That lady stole her face and didn't even capitalize on it. I surely would have.)

It's not easy to make me feel old or out of touch with today's youth because I teach middle schoolers and I'm terminally online, so I know all the slang and am well aware that 26 is not Old by any means however the other day a student asked what I meant when I said "landline" so I explained it's the house phone, usually on a wall or charging cradle that uses the telephone wires to make calls and she replied "Oh, like in stranger things?" And all I could do was reply "yeah like in stranger things."

the batman's grave #3

[ID: Bruce Wayne in his Batman costume but without the cowl. He's sitting in front of the Bat-computer which is off panel and is holding a tea cup that Alfred just gave him. Alfred asks, “Are you using evil computer skills to commit financial crimes against dark capitalism, Master Bruce?” Bruce smirks slightly and says yes and Alfred bursts into a large smile. He tells the billionaire, “There's hope for you yet.” END ID]

yes I'm listening to my Halloween Playlist in the middle of May because I like the 80s retro/fnaf 1 vibe it gives me and no one is stopping me

1, 7, and 16 for the violence ask game!

1.The character everyone gets wrong

Now, this is a basic answer, but it's Gehrman. Now I know I know, this has been repeated to utter HELL but let's be fair, if it wasnt this common I wouldn't be talking about it. I just HAATEEE when people water him down to some pervert old guy. He's very complex!! Ughhh ily peepaw,,

7.What character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how the fandom acts about them?

I wouldn't say hate at all, I dont hate any BB chars to be fair, although I am tired of how some people act about Laurence. Its either hatred or woobification 😭 I dont hate him in the slightest, yet he can be vile in my own headcanon.

16.You can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

FINALLY I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS OHHHHH.

LAURENCE OVERFEMINIZATION, FETISHIZATION OR TSUNDEREIFICATION. I AM SO TIRED!! SO EXHAUSTED!!

I dont know how popular it is on a broader extent but I've seen it quite a lot myself. Not just in fanart but in fanfiction. Wherever it be making him submissive yet defiant, or anything of the like.

We have to remember what Laurence is, he is the head of a CHURCH, a religious institution. He is a graduate (assuming), a researcher... He is a public figure, someone yharnamites have put their trust and respect on. Im not forcing everyone to be time-period accurate but lets be honest. If Laurence was any of the latter he wouldn't be respected in the slightest.

I am tired of Laurence being the "uwu bottom but angy boi!! Dont touch meh tail!" Kinda mf. Especially when its with a nasty intent. It feels shallow to put this character in specific on such light.

Im not name-dropping yet Ive seen someone with very odd Laurence art, aswell as characterization. He looks rather femenine and childish yet he is supposed to be taken as serious. Ugghhh I dont want to go off on a long rant. But it just bothers me how some people portray him as some "Horny anime girl" just like one of my mutuals mentioned. This man is a VICAR!!

Im NOT saying you cant make him slightly femenine or andorgynous like, have you seen my Laurence? He fits that description and I dont mind! Just dont be nasty and use that feminization as a gateway to fetishize and make nasty stuff.

This is Bloodborne, if you want that, make an oc im begging. You can write as much nasty smut you want with it, just dont use the Bloodborne branding especially if it's going to be so far from canon that if you changed names it could perfectly be oc content.

I also hate the oversexualization of the doll n stuff aswell as other things but my mutuals have taken the words off my mouth fr!!

But yeah thats kinda my whole rant😭😭 ty for asking crow!!

[cowboyscrypt]

GODDDD THE LAST OF US HAS SO MANY LITTLE DETAILS. youre tellin me the game has almost infinite ways to survive/kill and the devs thought enough to give voice lines and animations specific to the scenario of the player character sacrificing an npc to infected in the offchance the player decides to do so even though normally that npc and that infected would never be in the same place???? youre sayin that player characters and npcs have reactive facial expressions based on whats going on around them??? you mean to tell me over time bandages/clothes become more blood soaked depending on how many people you kill, how injured you are, and how long youve had on a bandage???? I LOVE WORLD BUILDING I LOVE THINGS ADDED JUST TO IMMERSE YOU A BIT MORE INTO THE EXPERIENCE RAAAUUUGGHHH

[doodle-zombie]

So, I've been on a huge Dragon Age kick since Origin came out back in the day. A fantasy world that needs a hero? Sign me the fuck up. It helps that the companions are so realistic. You can genuinely love some of them and despise others to the point you would gladly think up all the ways you could fuck with their future visions/plans.

I'm looking at you, Solas.

I particularly LOVE Fenris from DA2 and both Cullen and Bull from DA:I.

Dragon Age 2 was pretty open from what I recall, in terms of romance. I don't remember any restrictions off the top of my head so let's assume (for a moment) that everyone was just bisexual as hell. It was great! Acceptance in a world going mad.

Now, in Inquisition the companions have preferences! And you have Krem, a trans NPC who I love as well. Sera prefers women, Dorian likes men, Solas is an elf supremacist who cuts your arm off and says peace out, and Bull is just yes to all shenanigans. They have character, and I live for it.

Sorry, just need to rant a moment.

Also, I'm debating writing a fic for Inquisition where I thoroughly toss the game plot out the window and screw with everyone's evil plans. Can't decide if I want to include a romance in it. On the one hand, I wanna write a sweet story where everyone is happy, and Cullen marries an Inquisitor who will gladly have a horde of Mabari with him in place of children (until they're ready). On the other hand, I would love to write about a shy, feral little Inquisitor who slowly blossoms with Bull while proving to him that there's more to life than what the Qun demands.

Also, would 1000000% include Fenris in my Inquisition story because FITE ME that's why.
