do you ever just sit there thinking about your favorite ocs while violently shaking. god. clenches fist. They're So.

#every time a song from their Joint Playlist comes on i go fucking feral #the betrayal the refusal to Let Go the haunting the persisting love the renunciation the resentment the abandonment the resignation #the overwhelming desire to do good vs the fear of admitting you were wrong vs the two people you love most tearing each other apart #AGHHHHH FUCK FUCK FUCK IM SUDDENLY DEEP IN THE ORIGINAL SAUCE #five seconds i was Normal. scribbling welcome home #then One Of The Songs Came On and now im losing my fucking marbles #perceived betrayals leading to real betrayals....#going too far and now its too late you're Committed you cant go back #he came to you thinking he could make you understand and you could work together to make things Better #and instead you ripped his heart out and left it bleeding on the floor for everyone to see #THEY MAKE ME MORE INSANE THAN LITERALLY ANYTHING #absolutely unprompted #the oc Unwellness comes and goes in waves but its the only true constant obsession with my life #god those three... my dearest darling Trio.... how old are they turning this year?#is it year eight of having them? year nine?#one of the two is for sure how long ive had My Specialest Boy Light Of My Life The Reason I Am Still Alive #the other two came after... maybe only mere months after but he was the first and he is just. i love him so fucking much #he is so so personal to me. he has a permanent place carved out in my chest #he sleeps on my ribs <3 #the other day i was reminiscing about his development over the years. his changes his different Versions #and fuck... he's really changed with me huh??#his past selves are echoes of my own self over the years #like he is Very different from me but at the same time. i created him with little pieces of myself sewn in #we hold the same views the same beliefs. im not him and hes not me but we're Kindred yk yk #i think i need to go listen to his playlist.... how long is it now... let me check... 15 hours 13 mins... 228 songs...#my gay 5'2 powerhouse of a guy. him <3 #maybe 'them' too he's played fast and loose with gender over the years. holy shit wait #his development echoes mine... i characterized him as 'fucks with gender norms' long before i realized my own gender fuckery #god damn. i love him even more now. i didnt think that was possible. im going to cry. hes so important to me #he has been with me through my worst years... and will be with me through all the hard times to come <3

#lately i've been going to twitter to get some lunter action bc most fanartists are there #and god it's just so annoying that over there they're stuck in a 5 day cycle of the same discourse over and over again #is it okay to ship this or is this a dirty nasty morally questionable proship? uwu #then the realization is 'yes lunter actually isn't a disgusting perverted proship which makes it okay to exists even if i HATE it'#and then two days later someone is like um akshually it's disgusting because incest and here we fucking go again #god. we need to extirp anyone under 16 years old from the internet. you have not developed enough brain matter to be on social media #(now if you're an adult unironically arguing in that discourse you either have a lot of free time or i just need to block you)#but man. like i wanna say to those lunter defenders..... can't you see what's wrong?#can't you see that the moment you've chosen to accept the premise of there being 'good' and 'reproachable' ships you've already lost?#that someone will always be able to pick a 'problematic' aspect in any ship ever?#that entertaining that idea from the beginning is the absolute worst thing you could do?#like i prefer when people call lunter boring. okay yeah i do Not see what you're seeing but also #thank fucking GOD we're bringing up actually relevant stuff here #like part of me is so fascinated about this. how murder seems to be the only thing that's accepted in media as a narrative tool #(and at some extent even that is too much)#but this yet again goes back to..... well what the fuck do you interact with fiction and media in the first place #when you're COMPLETELY unwilling to acknowledge any of these things as FICTION (not real) in the first place?#where your favorite character is the most morally correct and your favorite ship is the 'healthiest'?#i just wish we were able to talk about who the characters are and what their dynamic means in the show you know #instead of recycling the same reasons why it's morally 'okay' to be interested in them over and over and over and over and over and over and

Cap'n : *sigh...*

Sweet : what?

Cap'n : nothing..

Sweet : you don't like the food?

Cap'n : I love the pepper steak and mashed potatoes with wine like it's one of the classic expensive food! but ironically I miss eating rice with only sugar so much right now.

Sweet : ????@%^&!%&&*(#&(?!!?!?

#[records]#Scc #Sweet #Cap'n #only filipinos could understand this about why rice and sugar is a good meal #yeh Cap'n likes expensive stuff like he dreamed of but he miss what he used to eat too #some common humans miss the old days we used to be broke and do cheap budget but still enjoyed simple life what god has already given us #and when you reached to the point you're successful like you dreamed of. you miss those times were so simple #Brothers Blood au #<- scc are not the brothers. Mark and Seren are. the scc are also main characters here as Mark's bandmates #Cap'n could still enjoy rice from other countries but he'd love it more when it's imported from the Philippines itself #sadly Cap'n doesn't know how to cook so he needed K_K and Sweet's help for it (he's lucky he got his mom's recipes)#imagine he goes to every fast food chain jollibee they pass by #I want to give Cap'n some more backstories (like his dad has another family aka he has step-siblings and stepmother)#and Cap'n did all his best to get better income for himself (because his mother sadly passed away before he moved out)

I just remembered that LoLiLo ends (more or less) with Peter out of nowhere throwing an egg at Vegan Fred's head.

Obviously I never forget that, I just. Suddenly remembered with vivid clarity.

#i think throughout freddie and bea's lives they periodically have this exact same moment #'oh my god peter threw an EGG at him that's so absurd'#'those were the good old days'#lovely little losers #all around great guy pedro donaldson #fred boyet

In my constant brain rotations of “why are people in the west so hard on mecha aside from the fandom can be a bit unfriendly” I think one thing I realized as much as I hate to say is how mecha is sometimes treated remind me of the constant hatred superhero stuff gets.

It’s such a weird comparison because with mecha I do not know what the root of it was-and I’d love to know why but I feel there’s either no clear answer or there is one and it’s stupid-where as for superheroes in the west while there’s still a dedicated community the mainstream audiences have become tired of them due to over-saturation, which I understand, but it’s caused such a massive dismal to the entire genre of it much like mecha.

People think superhero stories can’t have any substance because it’s all about fighting and not about the characters- yet forget the SIGNIFICANT impact they had to so much pop culture. How superhero stories were rooted within comic popularity, how superheroes inspired countless of stories, even so far as reaching japan since so much early anime was taken off of western media which birthed its own genre of superheroes. It’s no different to how mecha help started up the anime industry making it one of the most important genres to japans history, yet most people don’t know it and belittle it.

Yet in superhero story cases it’s even WORSE when people are against it yet then go to see one superhero movie because it’s animated and put it on a pedestal and don’t bother to try other superhero content even though they consumed is no different from the norm. It’s the exact same shit when people watch eva and then think all other mechas don’t compare to it, when the genre always had darker, mature and emotional elements, just only a select few decide to canter to a audience who doesn’t even accept what genre it’s from which makes it all the more frustrating to deal with.

I’m someone who’s hardly into superhero stuff even if some of it catches my eye but it sucks to see that the situation is pretty identical to how mecha is seen, that I can’t help to feel sympathetic whenever I see some comic book fans upset at the mainstream audience even if they too can be a little hostile.

#meg text #to clarify I do agree 100% live action superhero movies especially the MCU got really stale #but that doesn’t mean those movies being stale should single out all superhero content when the stuff before is still GOOD #I was in a server that wasn’t mecha but someone was like “I hate superheroes” yet the discussion was just about a old Justice league cartoo #again- what’s so wrong about the animated ones? when they were from a time pre-saturation and people praise shit like spider verse?#I seriously cant tell if this is also a factor of the ever growing issue of people don’t wanna check out old things despite their importanc #*me awaiting the day someone unironically saids the boys/invincible/spider verse is a deconstruction so I can sigh in pain with actual fans #I hope to god that doesn’t happen but it feels like it’s close to why people already say superhero movies don’t have characters #and maybe that’s true bc I haven’t watched a marvel movie in ages but also I think you more so mean “characters being expanded upon”#because… every story has characters… just some can lack dimension and depth… but their still characters…#oh and it’s funny how it’s always these two that get singled out for focusing on action but shonen gets a pass 😑#action doesn’t equate to less characters!! How do people not realize this?#it’s fine if not your preference but fights can LITERALLY be CHARACTER DRIVEN #a lot of them are in fact because there’s always a purpose to these fights! Even if the meaning is sometimes barebone #also I know there’s gonna be a mecha fan who hates superhero who finds this post #and hate to break it to you but I’m pretty sure the super in super robot came from superhero and just not super powered #especially when a lot of the stuff Nagai made/worked on was him clearly tackling a superhero story from another angle #of course mecha isn’t entirely a superhero genre since we have “reals” but the 70s robots? Oh yeah meant to be superhero’s #and what I said above I think the comparison is warranted because the downplaying is unreal sometimes #will say between the two superhero’s probably have it worse because mecha honestly is more so “im curious but idk more then 5 shows”#because my god I can’t have some conversations irl where this shit doenst get unnecessary heated #had a whole English teacher who wouldn’t stop complaining about superhero movies last semester in college 💀 it’s that bad #that said mecha still suffers from people liking one show and shooting down the other it’s just not as prevalent bc mecha content is low #it’s not dead like others say but it’s mainly been gundam and people now just think gundam is every robot (which is PAINFUL but whatever)#moral of the story is don’t judge a book by it’s cover especially when that book is actually really important to fucking pop culture

what's the first anime you remeber watching?

dragon ball z! i was immediately exposed to it growing up because my older brothers were hugely into it, so it's one of the first pieces of media that i was exposed to.

#ask #anon #i remember we had these old wall stickers of most of the characters on the wall next to our bunk bed.#but yeah i remember having dreams and memories of wanting to be trained by piccolo but uh #i was far too young to understand what piccolos actual intentions were for doing so #as a kid i misinterpreted a lot of stuff about DBZ because i didnt have the right contexts #like i thought yamcha was gokus brother. i thought piccolo and goku were really good friends.#i though raditz was tricking goku when he said he was his brother #i thought kame house and kami were related. and i was always so confused why god had his own merch and a house he didnt live in #oh. i thought ox king was like. a dude chi chi was dating while goku was gone. or like goku just lived with them.#it took me a really really long time to learn who ox king was. and that he was chi chi's dad.#but anyway yeah. we had a fair ammount of DBZ merch and games. though the games were region locked #so my brothers had to use something that hooked into the ps1 to play those games #i dont remember what or how though #we had... Ultimate Battle 22 and... Legends? the latter had a dark gray border around the screen and icons of the characters faces #but it wasnt until i owned DBZ Budokai that i fell in love with the show #and was my first exposure to Zarbon #it came out in november 2002. so i was 4 when i got it. cause i let my cousin borrow it for his birthday when he turned 3.#i never got that game back from him cause everytime i asked back then hed always make an excuse to never give it back #he doesnt know where it is these days which sucks cause i want a physical copy again...#and btw its not an exaggeration when i say Zarbon is the reason im the way i am #literally the moment i saw him i was like ''wow. he has long hair. jewelry. pink attire. and a regal voice? wow. a guy can be that?''#and then he turned into his monster form and i was like ''oh this dude is so fucking cool''#and now i am bisexual because of him #anyway thank you for asking anon! :)#sad to say that idk what other animes i wouldve watched around that time if we wanted to put up another likely source #i also didnt know what an anime was as a kid. it was just cool brutal cartoons to me

was revisiting the exiledrebels translation for some nostalgia and

RATIO

#God I miss when people were just casual about this arc #I miss when I wasn't as invested in it #Because now it just feels like similar people are at the helm and it's probably because im exposed to them more now #Not necessarily aq haters but people who get Really Mad if you criticize xy #All the lovely people interacting with my work and posting meta and all that have sense and stuff but then #There's the Big Thinkers out there just churning out the worst stuff #And I miss when we'd be able to ratio em. Now if you speak up you're crucified #And given the old well that's just their opinion uwu #While tons of people run to their defense and drop likes and stuff when they say #That xy is innocent and actually the good guy #Like I have nostalgia for THIS more than anything lmao #I miss those days #I love you people who love xy and know he fully sucks

Zaccaria Pinball (Nintendo Switch Version) - Star God Table Longplay - Warning: Flashing Lights! The gameplay is nothing to write home about be honest, but the artwork is absolutely magnificent, one of my favorites ever for a pinball machine... Aesthetically speaking, what a beauty of a table!

I miss the era of undertale fangames ruling the internet. Do people even make unitale/cyf mods anymore..

#also either way on the unitale bit does anyone have mod suggestions. I have the classics ofc (alphys neo. your battle. glitch. 3 mtt neos)#(thats not all i have ofc but the rest arent ones i think are gonna be as well known so im not gonna mention them lol)#but i would like some more to play cause yknow. as good as the ones i have are it still gets a bit old replaying them #i have some non-unitale fights somewhere but i think those i just have an ink and my favorite gaster fight. i just need more fights to play #probably should grab a few fangames too but i get really frustrated playing unfinished ones cause i get too invested so. ive only played so #idk just thinking about it cause i watched an old playthrough from the heyday of russian undertale fangames and got sad cause i miss them :#there was nothing like watching some guy have to google translate on the fly cause the best fangames were all in russian. all the people wh #consistently uploaded fangame content learned the basics in russian from having to menu... god those were the days #zoracontent

ok whose going to take one for the team (me myself and i) and make levr gifs

#logbook #rbed bc i was excited. refreshed snd saw a bunch of those checkmarks SJDBSJFK god. . .#anyways 😔😔 the bigger MORE important question is whose going to make the best decision of their life and watch levr #dont have to know anything abt the original series either. its able to be watched as its own art form.#but still has those few inside jokes or clues for old viewers.#imagine modern day robinhood that says and does what other shows either failed or were too cowardice to.#also its just so funny and good and the dialogue and characters and. yesh.#if theres a medis out there that if you wstch it you'll understsnd a piece of me. this is it.

Love that my confectionery hobby has apparently reached the point where I can watch coworkers and even managers struggle with complimenting my skills without encouraging me to quit and leave to pursue it as a new career

#when I first started working here and people were like ''nice to meet you! tell me about yourself! what do you do in your free time!''#i was like ''i make homemade chocolates'' and they were like ''haha that's cool :)'''#this last week was the first time I actually brought some homemade chocolates to work and I left them in the break room #and for the next three days literally everyone in the building would stop by my office at random times to be like #'''(⓿_⓿) bro what the fuck those are so good like SO good oh my god where did you learn to do that''#my actual job is plant tissue culture so one guy was like #''hey did you hear about that startup in California that's using plant tissue culture to grow ethical chocolate in a lab''#and I was like ''?? that sounds 10000% like something that should be on my radar'' and he showed me their ad #and then he was like ''yeah it is pretty cool isn't :) ...... *panic* don't leave though :(''#my old manager at my last job would even talk about how I should start a chocolate shop and then hire her to be my marketing manager #how funny is that. my manager wanting me to quit and start a business and become HER boss.#maybe someday #mine #chocolate #food #sweets #candy #memories #work memories #employment #hobby #hobbies #i watch chocolate guy videos with a pained longing because I know if I could just afford the right stuff I could be like him #but even the fucking chocolate ''paint'' gun is like $400

God I miss the brony era(2010-2013) so much. This is definitely partially nostalgia talking but the energy back then was something else. It's incredibly whiplash inducing whenever I go back and look at all the shit from that era, the animations, the memes, the old merch, and then come back n look at the fandom as it is now. It's night and day

#2012 and 2013 were the golden years of the fandom to me. those years seem to be when the most iconic shit came out #im tempted to make a blog dedicated to that whole vibe. like just posting old memes and shit #im sure theres something out there like that already tho #oh the cosplaying too. god the cosplaying #so many memories #nothing against how things are now obviously. like i appreciate how nowadays people love to go crazy with redesigns and shit like that #but nothing will ever match the good old days imo #just wanna clarify that in case someone decides to get pissed about it for no reason lol #mlp fim #mlp g4 #my litte pony friendship is magic

I lead a very interesting and eventful life, and frequently my friends have joked I live in a sitcom, and I honestly don't think I've done anything other than take advantage of my opportunities. my mindset can pretty much be summed up as, "nothing matters, but everything matters, and nothing changes, but everything changes!" like it's literally just about putting things in perspective for your happiness. you do you, bro.

#nothing matters as in those strangers wont remember your face any better than you remember theirs #your peers wont remember you tripped last week or snorted when you laughed yesterday #dance like an idiot and sing horribly because no one cares #everything matters as in god is in the sidewalk cracks that plants grow in in front of your childhood home #the smiley face the barista drew on your cup of coffee is a talisman for good luck #the stranger who complimented your outfit was your guardian angel saying hello #nothing changes as in your inner child will always reside within your soul #the sun does not go out when the clouds come and cover it #the bones of your childhood dog still reside in the garden and the impact he left on you still matters #everything changes as in you and your family and friends and coworkers grow every day #you start to see the wrinkles in your moms face #and that cracked sidewalk has shifted further apart #and there's no more flesh on those bones #and eventaully your mom will pass and the sidewalk will be replaced and the bones will be dust #but they were there goddamnit they were there #this is a message repeated by old philosophers and kindergarten teachers alike we just forgot to listen
