[ruthlesslistener]

Okay having now seen Jurassic Park in full I can say:

a.) Everybody telling me not to bring back the dinosaurs because they're dangerous is full of shit, all these animals are attacking people because they are VASTLY underfed and understimulated. The entire movie was the animals toying with them bc they were bored and likely hungry, not because carnivores just...do that. The entire animal care team and handling was a goddamn disaster. C-

b.) The geneticists were fucking stupid, who the FUCK would patch AMPHIBIAN DNA into REPTILES, they're as distantly related to them as amphibians are to us!! Use bird DNA!! Or DNA from other reptiles! Fuck!!!

c.) On the same note, whoever thought to use all female dinosaurs was huffing paint thinners bc fucking. DAMN IT. PARTHINOGENISIS IS A THING IN REPTILES. YOU DONT EVEN NEED FANCY AMPHIBIAN DNA FOR THAT I AM RATTLING THEIR GENETICISTS BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK WITH MY TEETH ARE YOU ALL FUCKING IDIOTS

d.) The lysine contingency plan wouldn't have worked as a useful failsafe because it would have taken too long for the animals to run out of lysine to halt their metabolisms- the killswitch idea is excellent tho and is a legit tactic used for transgenic organisms so A+ for them implimenting that there. I don't exactly have an alternative method either bc I'm not good with metabolism, I just know that depriving them of lysine would likely be bullshit

e.) All the kill scenes were waaay too censored and way less people died than I thought :( major salt to my dad for not letting me watching this as a kid because it would be 'too scary' or 'make me violent' bc this shit was a letdown for how tame it was. Still a good movie but very much not a horror movie

f.) This is an outstanding movie about the hubris of man but I see now why people would think that the moral of the story is 'playing god and bringing back dinosaurs bad' when its really 'billionares are fucking idiots and should trust a wide variety of scientists'. Hammond chose a bunch of fucking idiots to help run his park and trying to monetize living creatures is never a good thing. This is why peer review exists!! This is why its important!!!

g.) this film reminded me that i will never see a living non-avian dinosaur irl and i am sad :(

Why So Blue? Vox x Reader

[ Part 1 - A Like Morning Unlike Others ]

A/N: I have a kind of loose idea of where I'm maybe taking this one, but I am very much open to any suggestions.

People asked to be tagged in what was going to be part 2 to the oneshot. My ideas changed a bit with this tho, and it's being rewritten as a fic from the start - sorry if this isn't what you really had in mind w that request 😭

[ Taglist ] @gigglesandshits @serendipitous-fernweh @valentinosbabycakes @ seriouslyaverage (won't let me @ ???)

[ part 2 ] >>

Cw: SFW, Gn!Reader, slight staticmoth reference

The morning you first showed up was like any other for the Video Star.

As always, Vox awoke at 7:00 am on the dot, staring at the ceiling for a couple of seconds as his system warmed up properly for the day ahead.

After the 'sleep' cleared from his mind, he sat up and then climbed from his bed to quickly change before swiping his phone off his nightstand as he walked to the personal kitchen in his part of the building (he had it installed so he didnt have to see his colleagues before his persona was up to snuff) and began scrolling through his emails.

He opted for those from Carmine rather than Velvette or Valentino.

It was frankly too fucking early to deal with whatever bullshit they were yelling about on seemingly all of his socials in his mind. (a decision he'd come to regret rather soon)

Last night's hangover still clung to him, but he pushed through it. He was rather happy all things considered. Carmine's email confirmed that she was on board with partnering up for personal surveillance systems without much questioning, thankfully.

He was about to get even fucking richer.

He grinned widely at the prospect as he leisurely made his coffee - black, naturally - fantasising about how he'd be able to spy on hell's citizens even more with them literally installing surveillance cameras into their own homes for security purposes.

Those poor, desperate idiots practically exploit themselves!

Vox chuckled at the thought, humming as he walked in the direction of his broadcast room, scrolling to look over the email Carmine sent once again to fully understand all agreements. To try to see what he'd be able to push her into doing potentially.

The hatch to his lair broadcast room opened loudly and closed just as loudly behind him as his footfalls echoed in the silent room against the cold tiles.

Vox didn't look up once as he made his way to his seat.

He didn't need to.

He knew where everything was in here as nobody else was ever in here. And if they were?

Well, those demons wouldn't be 'employed' much longer, we'll say that.

His seat squeaked as he sat on it, sipping his coffee as he swiped through some more notifications.

He glanced at his monitor momentarily as he took a deep sip of coffee that would gross anyone else out, then promptly choked on it, gracelessly spitting some onto his keyboard and lap.

He felt truly chilled to the bone for the first time in a long while.

Wide, red eyes watched in horror as a very drunk version of himself from last night met him. In the video, he was shaking his hips from where he stood on a bar while singing (he assumed) shittily if his memory served right.

The video was muted from where it played on the screen of every monitor in his room, but he expected it.

His frozen present self watched himself in the video as drunk Vox stumbled and then proceeded to topple off-camera to the ground.

His instant assumption was that Valentino or Velvette had posted it online, but that was quickly off the cards when he noticed that not only were both of them watching him while laughing with no phones in their hands, but it was posted from his own fucking Sinstagram account.

It already had over a million likes, and it'd been up for only an hour at this point. His colleagues wrote surprised comments underneath, asking if he meant to post it. Valentino adding that Vox looked cute in it either way.

He could feel his fear and anger rising, loud zaps of electricity emitting from him already as his claws dug into either armrest of his desk chair, leaving long scratch marks on them which exposed the padding within.

Then he read the bottom caption of the looped post of himself and fully lost it.

'For someone who talks so big about being ahead technologically, it was awfully easy to hack old Boxy here.'

Vox lets out a loud, enraged yell, slamming his fist on his desk, promptly causing himself to Bluescreen and knocking out much of Pentagram's electricity in the process despite not being plugged into his set-up.

-

On the other side of the city, you laugh loudly as you watch the press conference where the Tech demon overlord fought to clean up his image.

It began just a few minutes after you were exposed to Vox's rage in the form of your lights shutting off.

It didn't affect your setup, of course. A certain someone you knew had helped you craft it, and it ran on a different server.

While others were still waiting for their shit to get back in order after Vox stopped plastering his rather strained grin on every screen, you were watching the press conference in one window while admiring how quickly his men raced to try and patch up the code you'd gotten through last time in another.

Of course, it hardly would do anything for you the next time around you decided to clown on him.

You shifted into a cross-legged position on the floor, glancing between the mess of old and new monitors surrounding you all interlocking with equally messy and tangled cables.

You passively wondered if anyone had been killed during all this, expecting yes, but not paying much attention to it. You couldn't do anything about what he decided to pull in response to your attacks.

Anything for your entertainment.

You cracked your fingers loudly as you began to prepare for the next bag of shit you'd be leaving on his doorstep.

Snickering with a smile, you watched his hypnosis ability activate, manipulating everyone watching outside of your own eyes.

They would forget this, but you wouldn't. And neither would Vox. You'd make sure all of them remembered you eventually.

Snorts and giggles echoed out in the silence of your small, shitty apartment as you mulled over all the things you had planned for the next few months.

Jesus christ, this would be fun.

Yeah, this reader isn't a good person either. They just wanna fuck around with Vox as much as they can and don't care much who becomes cannon fodder in the process.

I was considering also writing pt. 2 into this as well, but I figured that I would do this as just a taster for this series starting for the first post. Pt. 2 will be soon 🙏

TMAGP EP 16 REACTION (SPOILERS)

CELIA HOLDING ALICE HOLY SHIT MAN THE SAMALICELIA POLYCULE IS GOING SOMEWHERE I also think this might be Celia's instinct to comfort from being a mother maybe??? BUT ALICELIA FEELS. My God their ship name could be a palindrome. Insane.

DEAR LORD DID ALICE SEE HER PARENTS DIE???? MY POOR GIRL.

Tape recorder is gone??? And yeah I suspected that the woman had been dead the whole time. Something was using her as a mouth piece, maybe something relates to ep 11 with the deep??

I think Celia and Sam saying they believe Alice is gonna bring them closer. I know people are sus of Celia so it could be a ploy to get closer to the OIAR employees, but I don't know, with her disliking Lady Mowbray, I'm more inclined to trust her.

The fact that Alice says "paid my horror dues" makes me think she knows more about said horrors and is working at the OIAR specifically to avoid it. Were her parents killed by The Horror?

"I think there's plenty of it go around at the moment" Yeah she's talking about Lady Mowbray. Seriously, I have respect for Celia, she really stood her ground last episode.

Man the fact that we were like "omg what if Alice's phone call ends up being a statement!!" In a serious way meanwhile Alice is like "yeah no Freddie will probably spit out in a few days so nothing to be concerned about". What if. Tho. Gwen ends up hearing the phone call. That would be interesting. Speaking of, where is our corporate girlfailure.

Sam you awkward little bean I love you. I'm sure Celia and Alice just gave him the fondest, "You're such a dumbass" look.

SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER TIME????

OH NO. OH NO FUCK AM I GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH INK5OUL. THEIR VOICE.

I'm sorry I now understand what Alex meant when he said this episode was social-cringe-horror. The misuse of AAVE is actually so accurate please help my I'm on the floor screaming this should not be this funny-

Damn so does Ink5oul tattoo....pain or something? I don't have a tattoo myself (yet. I'm gonna get one. As soon as I stop being squeamish about needles. Oh. Needles.) But I don't think they're meant to hurt THAT much???

...I genuinely SHOULD NOT like Ink5oul this much. Please. You cannot do this to me I cannot have a Michael Part 2.

OH MY GOD ITS A YOUTUBER DRAMA VIDEO IM GOING TO FUCKING DIE I CANNOT BE LAUGHING THIS HARD.

I'm sorry THE SITUATIONSHIP FUCKING SENT ME YOU'RE TELLING ME INK5OUL IS IN A SITUATIONSHIP WITH A GOTH GIRL INFLUENCER PLEASE RUSTY QUILL I NEED TO BE SERIOUS I CANNOT DO THIS.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD I CANNOT DO THIS I HAVE PAUSED 7 TIMES NOW JUST BECAUSE I WAS LAUGHING TOO HARD TO KEEP HEARING. INK5OUL IS HOT AND A GOTH CONFIRMED.

Shut up. SHUT UP. NOT FUCKING DIG. ARE YOU SERIOUS. NO WAY.

Also let me add all the video sound effects are taking me out I LITERALLY cannot do this PLEASE-

OH MY GOD. WAIT. IS THIS WHEN INK5OUL WAS LOOKING FOR THE BODY WITH THE TATTOO FROM EP 11. HOLY SHIT.

"Hell no i ain't gonna call it in" girl by making the video you are basically calling it in what the fuck

THE YOUTUBER DRAMA IS TAKING ME OUT PLEASE THIS IS SOME NICOCADO AVODACO VS STEPHANIE SOO TYPE SHIT (Stephanie Soo all the way honeyyyy).

So...Does Ink5oul have the ability to make people feel pain through the tattoos they do? It's seeming like that's the case.

"The views are cutting me" HUH???? THATS. LIKE. THE EDGES ARE CUTTING ME??? WHAT IS HAPPENING??? HELLO?????

IS SHE DYING. THATS HORRIBLE RN WHAT THE FUCK ALICE LITERALLY JUST SAW SOMEONE DIE NOW SHE HAS TO HEAR SOMEONE ELSE DIE????

Okay wait now that Sam has let go of his "be professional" bullshit I'm back on his track SAMALICELIA LETS GOOO

THERE SHE IS THE CORPORATE GIRLFAILURE

Ohhhh Lena. Oh boy. I can understand her tbh, Gwen has no idea what's happening and she's just doing her own thing. Whether she's evil or not, Lena still knows better what's going on and can avoid unnecessary risks. Especially since Lena does seem to care if other employees get hurt.

I SEE HOW IT IS GWEN. SO YOU'LL BE HORRIFIED BY MR. BONZO BUT NOT OF THE CANNIBALISTIC HUNTING WOMAN BECAUSE SHES A LADY OF THE ARISTOCRACY. CLASSISM AT ITS FINEST. I HATE MR. BONZO BUT AT LEAST HES A WORKING CLASS...CLOWN MONSTER THING.

Okay so the Externals are like. A Thing here. Kind of like avatars? I'm not saying in the sense of fears, I mean they're beings that are not human anymore and possibly dangerous.

Wait but I understand Gwen though "You can't take this away just because I did something you never bothered to tell me not to do" this happens to me so much Gwen my babygirl you are So Autistic.

I saw someone say that Gwen needs to be dommed. I cannot say I disagree, especially when Lena tells her to sit down. Anyway we're gonna move away from that thought.

I am not joking. I paused a total of 17 times throughout this episode because I started laughing too hard. I think I have a new favorite episode.

[itchyeye]

Yea you can really tell that Jon Sims' involvement in tmagp is real minimal. And I wouldn't actually complain too much if the cases/"statement" written by the guest contributors were... yknow, actually good/interesting. I feel like the episodes after the hiatus were especially hit hard with this; I can only say I actually like one episode (Marked) made after the hiatus, and that one was written by Sims, so... (tho then again, maybe it's just the initial high from starting something new is wearing off by now)

It's a damn shame really, because when I started out on tmagp, I felt the way the cases could be differently formatted had a lot of potential, and I can actually name cases I liked from before the hiatus. The one where the guy turns into a tree after implicitly killing his loved one was good, I liked Personal Screening despite (or maybe because) of how simple it was (and also bc it gave me Beholding vibes <3) and Running on Empty's is still a personal favorite of mine.

Fast forward to post-hiatus, we got more Mr Bonzo the flesh clown who's most notable aspect to me is that he owns house property, some guy who had snakes in him I guess, and last week's episode had some guy stumble into an alternate world and meets his alternate self which uses a spooky torture dungeon or some shit to help with his anger OOOOO isn't this scary??? (It isn't. Hell, the fact it was written in a "Magnus statement" a la tmagp episode 9 kinda pissed me off more than anything).

I swear, if they just cut down on showing us the office drama/relationships that only the mainstream part of the fanbase cares about and develop more of the cases' horror, tmagp could've almost been okay. We're only 17 episodes in, so maybe there could be a comeback?, but I'm not putting too much hope in that lmao

Still gonna keep reading the tmagp transcripts as they come out at least. Two reasons for this: 1. it's becoming something similar to when an old man reading a delivered newspaper every time even though it's full of the same old bullshit, and 2. I am interested in one tmagp character: ink5oul, introduced in tmagp ep 2 (Making Adjustments). I wanna know more of their deal, and the two episodes post-hiatus that feature ink5oul were decent enough. Anyways hope you enjoy my ramblings

[popponn]

hi dear, hru? if i could eat your theme for breakfast, lunch and dinner I'd die a happy human it's super cute and crunchy even though i forever will memorise the green themes you'll still manage to pull it off

BUT i genuinely need your opinion on bllk side characters (shidou, ness, aiku, barou and maybe karasu) rate them spell your favourite and last favourites because I'm ready to set up a chair with side of tea and listen to them rambles :3

im currently running away from deadline hello. pls don't tell them im here bae : D (i really need to lock in);;;; my love, as someone whose country is full of sour strawberries you kinda scare me. but i heard overseas strawberries are sweet tho so!!! also girl :(( im :((( wait im bad with praises but pls know i love ur themes and u especially skskdhfsf

now. to my bullshit. (please do know YOU are asking for this okay ^^) so while i put my yappings down the read more to spare some poor souls, tldr: honestly i cant really pick faves simply because my ass is indecisive as hell and i constantly switch rankings lololol and like when it comes to fictional character honestly as long as they manage to catch my eyes (whether by being amusing, complicated and so on) they are immediately an okay to me. and bllk is pretty good at making entertaining charas no matter how much of an asshole they are. so, yeah, this ranking rn is more of "what i can see from whatever spotlight was given to them and how much it makes my personal taste raises an eyebrow character-wise rn": aiku > shidou > ness = barou > karasu (give crow man more spotlight im begging)

shidou: honestly he is like. a force of nature himself. and also remember that one trivia on why he cries? yeah, that trivia honestly raise him up so much in my eyes it's kinda insane. but he is hard to write because i do n o t get him. i wish i do tho, he seems interesting and he praised isagi. already a pretty cool guy in my book, if we ignore the whole other package on the side but hey what is someone without spice. solid 8/10. the fact the first person he really kinda gets on with was sae is also hilarious. like talk about not seeing it coming. common knowledge that bllk side charas deserves more screentime bUT BOY. does this guy really deserve and need it (going back to isagi for a bit but i really want to see isagi work with types he really clashes with like shidou and reo. not even as a simp, but isg is our main pov so. like. isagi dissect this guy's brain pls. or hey light novel pls)

ness: despite his whole relationship with isagi i don't wanna deck him the same way i do to kaiser. absolute soggy wet meow meow to me, whoever calls him babygirl has taste. if i have to say anything is that i really hope his growth will be outside of kaiser. when a character is connected to much to another character in a canon setting, let's just say i can see why people like it but i prefer it when the narrative forces them to face the horror and save themselves in one way. honestly, a goofy guy who i wish to see develop more in the same way barou did. like we know kaiser will (unless the plot twist is twisting) but seeing a character like him who gets stereotyped as a "masochistic, dependent sidekick" by most getting more dimension and spotlight? yeah honestly i really want that. but for now... yeah im sorry but my personal score is 6/10 (but i really hope he will rise up because him being a dark horse in the narrative will be a breath of fresh air honestly)

aiku: i left bllk the first time right before u20 so let me tell you how amused i am when this guy is more than what i expected. if bllk wc team doesn't have him as captain im asking ego WHY. like as a captain? aiku really got my respect. like his canon cheating aside, one of the most decent dudes who can admit their faults out loud. if bllk was about defender instead of striker he would SHINE as a main rival. he kinda already does tho. the whole cop roleplay with isagi was so funny in an amusing way. honestly i really like his writing as a character. very mature, but his selfish bet was really telling of the another side of his character too. 7.5/10. minus point because i cant write him and im mad about it!!! (aka in all serious: 8.5)

barou: first time reading bllk, when isagi chose him i think it becomes one of those moments that really cements bllk. like?? the canon fodder villain who usually was just relevant in the first arc???? become one of the main rivals now???? also he is so housewife and why lmao. also put him and rin in a room. it will either end with a massacre or just them ignoring each other. honestly tho, he is funny to me because this guy has the Deep Voice but then he opens his mouth, call himself king, also dye his hair before uber vs bm match, and i remember how he truly is lmao. also the bowling and his whole dynamic with nagi are so entertaining. like nagi doesn't have to try to piss him off. hilarious. as a chara, 7/10, minus point simply because while dating him in rl sounds like a healthier option, i like my man a blaring red flag. on field a 9/10 because his whole asshole personality comes out and things get interesting

karasu: this guy is like. i am really mixed about him because i think fanon give him more dimension and raises more interesting points than canon has done him so far. but honestly, considering self aware he was and the rare moments the series gave him? he is an interesting character to have in a sport manga. this guy is realistic as shit, and he is also very self-aware of his own downsides. like. read his trivia. this guy is interesting honestly. another one i wish will work with isagi simply just to see more of him. also he is such a little shit but he is funny about it so it's okay. so, yeah, canon wise i don't really can say much about him (yet? idk). but there is this version of him i seen in a gen fic from the red white holy websites of fanfic that just makes me: yo. i wanna see more spotlight on this crow. so uhhhh 6/10 too?

[messrsbyler]

Okay, on byler: who is the more polite of the two? Like. They’re both judgey af, but who is more obvious about it & in what situations? Does one of them kick the other under the table when they go too far or is it a united front thing? How does Will react to mike’s dad saying dumb bs at the dinner table? How does MIKE react? Does ted even know they’re a couple? Does karen? What’s holly’s stance on byler lol?

Srry for multiple questions in an ask! Have a nice night, & happy holidays if you’re currently celebrating!

i reaaaaally think will gets the image of being more polite, not because he's not sassy and sarcastic and rolling his eyes 24/7. but will knows all about timing while mike doesn't. will is more of a quick jabs when they aren't looking and mike is more of a let's scream right before we attack to blow our cover.

both of them kick each other under the table but because of what i said before, will gets to do it more bc again, mike needs to practice timing. he is easier to make explode and to be loud about his sarcasm and sassiness and will more times than not has to keep him on check with a quick kick under the table.

i think will would painfully offer a polite smile whenever ted says stupid bullshit, grabbing his fork tight and biting his tongue to not say anything. mike is the kind that explodes like he saw in s1 when he said "i'm the only one acting normal! i'm the only one who cares about will!" and then he storms out. but i also think will is clever and when he gets older he learns to slip in a couple of passive-agressive comments, all well aimed, that leave ted tripping not sure if this kid just offended him or not.

about ted knowing, my ongoing joke is that he's always known about byler and already think they are a couple lmao but in reality i don't think he knows and i don't think neither of them are inclined to tell him since we all know about ted's political views and all. i think karen knows, esp bc i think (and want) karen will be finally involved in the supernatural plot next season and once you enter all that mess let's be honest... how are you still going to be homophobic with all the horrors and the real awful things you've seen? sure, maybe karen will have a bit of a hard time adjusting to the idea first, but she'll get there. also bc i hc her as being a closeted lesbian that fell under the pressure of heteronormativity and who back in her cheerleader days in high school used to have a crush on joyce maldonado hehe.

holly thinks byler are dating already. she just assumes as much lmao if you asking me in canon tho, i think holly is young enough to unlearn the few things she's already learned about homophobia along with karen. my hc is that she simply assumes byler are boyfriends already lol anyhow she would love them bc will is her favorite from the party (after mike ofc) and now will is around the house a lot more so holly wins.

loved answering all of these and I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING LITERALLY HALF A YEAR TO REPLY AAAAHHH-

[turntechjughead]

[bijesperfahey]

but what dnd podcast r u listening to tho !!!

This is incredibly late because I moved across the country and also made the mistake of checking my inbox when I didn't have time to talk and also I got long so it goes under a readmore lol

Naddpod- The Best Of Both Worlds, amazing comedy podcast, will make you lose your mind with the bullshit they pull. Brian Murphy is A Great DM who cannot role dice well to save his life and I love that for them! I have laughed, I have cried, I have nearly had to pull over my car to scream while lisitening. They also know the rules of the game and follow them well more often than not, which is a perk when like me you love dnd but have very raerly played. (I think this is what I made the post that led to this ask about but it could have also been-- )

Dungeons and Daddies (Not a BDSM Podcast)- Listen these assholes (affectionate) do not know how to play dungeons and dragons 95% of the time, but they don't need to!!! Who needs to know the difference between a check and a saving throw? Who needs to use core abilities of your class before the finale?? Not these guys! But if you want a lose your mind funny comedy podcast that is loosely based on dnd? 10/10 the absolute best. Plus Anthony (and also Will in his mini series) makes up the best mechanics. This man made up fortnite for dnd, football mechanics, he dnd-iffied a courtroom trial. For a 3 episode mini-series he made a mechanic for regency era marriage potential!!!!! Listen to Dndads you will not regret it.

3 Black Halflings- So technically speaking they are not completely an actual play podcast. Technically speaking they are a dnd podcast promoting diversity and inclusion in a community that desperately needs it and highlights both old and new problems within the system and community. And their talkshow episodes are enlightening and have taught me a hell of a lot (and they also do breakdown episodes on classes for anybody who might be interested in them) But also their actual play podcasts are.... So Good. The first is The Cub and the Caterpillar (which I am still actively dying for Season 2 of if Unati can ever come back in any way shape or form !!!!) which is set in Wagadu and basically ruined my life with the finale. Their second, shorter campaign was Outlaws and Obelisks set in Utaram which is a post-apocolyptic home brewed setting (and features Connie Chang of Transplanar and Jonathan Charles who makes the music for the show as main party members and Emily Axford of Naddpod as a 'guest role'). It's definitely heavier on the body horror just by nature of the setting but like.... Not in a way that bothered me and honestly if you asked me it's worth it. They also just finished a 4 episode mini-campaign set in a different home brewed world that is in more of a....darker fantasy metropolis? It's nitty, gritty and so so good and if they don't do more in this 'verse I'm going to absolutely lose my mind. My final thoughts about them is their actual play episodes are long, and can get up to about 2+ hours easily. They're also definitely not a comedy podcast unlike the other ones that I generally listen to. But they will make you laugh !! They are so, so worth the time investment !!! I love them and you will love them too !!! And subscribe to their patreon so they can make an official sourcebook for Utaram !!!!

I do technically listen to taz and I do enjoy their newer campaign in Ethersea buuuuut honestly I'm only putting this on the list as a formality because 1. I think they're well known enough and 2. I don't necessarily listen to them as much as I used to lol

[bigshotmoment]

Salutation, gamers

This blog is just there to loose my shit over tiny craecher and being fucking cringe. If you see some cool tiny gremlins, show them to me so that I can distract myself from the horror of the world.

My pronouns are they/them and I'm aromantic. I project myself a lot in characters, so every single gremlins here are aro, fuck you.

I don't expect to have reach at all, I don't care if I talk to no one or ten thousand people. This blog is bullshit and I couldn't care less about your opinion.

Anyway, here are some cool gremlins:

Paimon

Paimon is cool, and I love Paimon. They are demi-girl, and I am not projecting. If you hate them, fuck you, she's awesome and useful, y'all are just jealous. Paimon is also gremlin, so they're better than you. Paimon will beat your ass if you hurt the traveler and will not hesitate to do it, even they need to fistfight God. Absolute mood.

Lancer

My son. Lancer is my fucking son and I will sob. Look at him! So round and gshshsnnhgg!!! If you hate Lancer, I will beat your ass. How could you hate Lancer? This is my cringe round bean. Also, honorary evil boy. Lancer is pure darkness and evil in one being. Tremble and cower before him (to make him happy).

Jevil

The pinnacle of gremlin. I love them. Jevil was made to be a gremlin and they probably eats cheese at 3AM (like me). I headcanon that they ate 1kg of sand when they were a child. Jevil is kinda like the weird ass kid that's cool, but still weird as fuck. You love this guy because they made you a bracelet when you were four and that's awesome.

Spamton

This little bitch would eat my money and I would thank him. I just want to tuck this little garbage man into bed and pet before making him drink warm milk. Also, I want him to splatter on the wall so hard that they loose consciousness, idk why, it would be funny I think.I will force Spamton to be cozy and warm tho. He's a poor little meow meow and even if he is 5feet in game, he is 3feet in my heart. Spamton is [Big Shot] certified.

Ena

Ena, my beloved. Too tall to be a gremlin, but I would say honorary gremlin. She is love, she is grace, she will water my crops and bless my family. I love nonsensical bitches like Ena. I want to hold Ena's hand and be her friend!!

Ai Chan

Ai chan honkai is love, Ai chain honkai is life. Look at those twin tails, she's like Paimon but better because she can hack stuff and be evil!!! Love when she's screaming at us every 5 seconds in the open world, really add to that stupid ass Ai character. She looks like a cabbage, and that's why we all love her.

I will add more if I find other!

Ok so I thought I'd put together some horror stories from my time as a babymetal fan bc of how drastic the shift in the fandom has been the past year or so. For context I got into babymetal in like june of 2014 (all 3 girls were still underage at the time, I was 22; when I first got into them I thought I would be considered an older fan lmao the naivete, the innocence of new fan me wow I know now I'm not at all in the older half of the fandom esp considering I was born the same decade as su and moa), and I made this blog in I think may of 2015.

I've had people say I should compile men being gross into a post and I just couldn't do that out of fear for my own mental health but this will be pretty close. These are all my experiences with this fandom over the years; I'm definitely missing some but what I do remember should do well to cover most of how this fandom used to be vs now. It's gonna be a lot and tw for men being gross about minors.

Back in my first year or so of this blog I on multiple occasions got dms from men asking to be friends. At the time my bio only said my name and my pronouns. I've always been cautious of dms so I'd ask their age and every single one was considerably older than me. I wouldn't usually answer after that bc no thanks but they would generally try to continue convos til I blocked. The only one I still had was this one

After I put my age in my bio, which was 23 at the time, I never got a dm like that again; take from that what you will. But if you're young please be wary of this hell fandom even now. And if you're an older fan and esp an older male fan reading this, don't dm people trying to be friends. I was over 18 and it still creeped me out to no end.

One of my real first men in this fandom are disgusting moments was a blog back in like 2015 or 2016 who I had some contact with due to common interests; he was a huge yui stan and made bm content. He was like 28 or 29 at the time and I eventually noticed he would tag idols, mostly kpop girls, by their body parts (legs, butt, etc) which is disgusting enough as it is but then I saw him do the same for literal minors, like tzuyu from twice. I messaged him asking what the hell he was doing objectifying women but also actual children and he blocked me lmao. He later unblocked me to let me know that's just how he tagged things and it was my fault he had anxiety and then he blocked me again.

Back before the tumblr purge this fandom was repulsive to a degree I cannot even begin to describe. Someone would reblog something from me, I'd go to their blog and it would be underage jpop idols and japanese p*rn all the way down. I even stumbled upon a man editing underage su into p*rn gifs. Obviously no proof of that but I did go find my initial reaction to it

The number of times I'd get a follow from someone then go to their blog and it would be as mentioned above or their bio would be the most misogynistic trash I'd ever read was staggering. I genuinely considered giving up and deleting this blog so many times bc i felt oberwhelmed and outnumbered by these gross old dudes; and so the fact that this fandom has evolved into a bunch of chaotic wlw?? Amazing, I could cry.

Fun phenomenon of women running bm blogs was men sending messages asking if we liked babymetal. No joke. I think this happened to me two or three times but I spoke w other female creators at the time and it had happened to them as well. My entire blog is babymetal, and yet???

He said the weird guy idk bc he sent some random ass messages vaguely insulting me and when I responded coldly, he acted confused so I said you're some guy idk, hence the above message starting as such. Also that pic and the one up above that has my current pfp bc I just took those screenshots. Like I said I typically blocked weird dms but I guess these passed me by so I still had the messages.

Most people know the sub reddit is the worst and don't need me to tell you but it's a hellscape and I highly recommend avoiding it. A short list of things I've had to see as a result of going there: men discussing at length kano and momoko's appearances and how they look in costume vs in normal clothes. Men discussing at length the hope that the girls would marry men who aren't Japanese, a thread that was from when all 3 girls were underage. They aren't gonna marry you dude they're really not.

The insulting of billie Eilish, a 17 year old at the time, was horrible too. Su and moa got to meet her, something they were extremely excited for, and they posted a pic; the comments were disgusting as you can imagine. The yui rumors were terrible too, fatshaming, slutshaming etc all based on nothing. Some man saying the rumors about yui leaving bc, no joke this was a real rumor, she "got too fat" couldn't be true bc "look at saya." Saya being a barely 18 yo back up dancer who covered the third spot after yui left but before the avengers. Not to mention the upskirt shots from when they were minors, the constant editing of their faces onto explicit photoshoots etc. I remember being a new fan looking for a su pic on google and being horrified at the fact that one of the top suggested results after her name was “bikini;” she was 16 at the time. Also, the uptick in massively creepy posts and messages sent to bm blogs as each girl, but esp moa and yui, approached 18 was disgusting.

Now for some personal nonsense. A big reason why I haven't touched my youtube channel in months is bc I got tired of dealing with the men of this fandom. I poke fun at metal and get told I deserve to die. I say ped*philes and creepy men are gross and get a swarm of middle aged men cursing at me. Had a guy cry about how men are shamed for liking bm and then he turned around and said some gross shit about wlw. Had a guy call me racist for liking a band he also likes (and despite him having no way of knowing my own race) and tell me the babymetal fandom doesn't need my kpop feminist bullshit, which is honestly a great description and I thought about putting it in my yt about lmao. Had a middle aged man unironically say he'd never seen a man be creepy towards bm but fans su and moa's ages calling them hot was creepy. The disillusionment....the level of unawareness is astounding. If you want to see screenshots of some of these comments they are fairly recent in my don't mind me tag; I don't want to see them anymore tho bc they're infuriating so I'm not going to look at them to post here.

Essentially I haven't looked at my channel since may bc men are exhausting and rude and refuse to examine the fandoms they're a part of no matter what. They're told by a woman of the fandom that she's had bad experiences personally and they all start crying about how it's either a lie bc they haven't seen it or unimportant. I did stop reading comments in may and I will never read another one again probably as a result of this shit. Trash men being trash are not worth my time and I refuse to give them anymore of it. I do plan on making more videos tho and let my ~feminist kpop bullshit~ live in their minds rent free.

I will also continue to make fun of metal and the creepy men in this fandom bc it's important and I'm a spiteful asshole who likes disrupting these dudes perfect bubble of a fandom. It genuinely brings me so much joy seeing all the new fans recently (which sidenote if you got into them recently I am kinda curious as to how you found them; I've gotten tons of new followers and considering how inactive they are rn I'm curious). People sending messages about how they finally feel like they belong or that they have a safe space....like I don't even know what to say and I never feel like my responses fully convey how genuinely wonderful that is and how thrilled I am that this is where we're at now and I have had at least some part in it. As this post shows, my experiences have been negative for the most part so the shift recently is such a relief I cannot even begin to explain my gratitude.

So to anyone who read all of this and hasn't disintegrated from the male bullshit, thank you. Keep being yourself and fighting for your place in this fandom, esp if you're a young woman; keep making fun of the creeps and keep making wlw memes!! Babymetal's music is in such a huge way meant for girls and to see more and more finding their way to this previously hellish beyond belief fandom is incredible.

Demons' fight (part 3)

Echoes of fallen warriors. A lullaby to some people, and a horrific music for others. Endless sounds and screams of those that will not find their peace in Inferno Arena, despite the place being closed centuries ago. And yet, echoes of souls will wake up again as Algaron arrived at this place, bloodlusted demon, who did nothing but being a monster, cruel and horrible. He was carrying a little tied unconscious nephilim to the middle of Arena, where the meeting was supposed to be. When he stopped, he inhaled and exhaled deeply.

Algaron: Home sweet home~ How I missed those times when this place was active~ Of course this Lucifer still tried to keep it only for "so cruel and horrible" demons and souls, but how much blood was here, fights all over the arena, strongest against weakest~ Just thinking about it gives me chills~

He held his cheeks, caressing his hands down in maniac pleasure, then he looked at his victim with smirk.

Algaron: Well, wakey wakey time~

He shook Nazeel's shoulder as little nephilim began to wake up slowly, trying to open his eyes.

Nazeel: Where......am I? What happened?

Algaron: Good morniiiing, sleeping beauty~

A voice astonished Nazeel as he turned around and looked at unfamiliar person to him. Remembering what happened, he felt that he was tied up as tried to escape.

Nazeel: H-Hey!! Let me go!! Mommy!! Somebody!!! HEEEELP!!!

Algaron only smirked evily as kneeled to Nazeel.

Algaron: Shout as much as you like, my little prey~ Nobody will come after you. We're here aaaaallll alone~

Nazeel looked around in horror. Place was so unfamiliar to him, but some sculptures and things helped him guess that it was not human world. It was Hell.

Nazeel: W-What's going on??! Who are you??!

Algaron: Oh, so your precious Lucifer didn't tell you about me?~ How rude of him~

Nazeel: Uncle Lucifer knows you??! Then he will definitely come and save me!!!

Algaron: Hehe, that's what I'm hoping for, little brat~

Suddenly the anxiety crowled on Nazeel's back. He kept trying to escape, but ropes were tight and seemed like a strong magic blocked him to do anything. Tears were coming from his eyes.

Nazeel: What do you want from me??? Why do you need uncle Lucifer??? And where are we???

Algaron: Oh, Lucifer didn't show you this place?~ But of course, he is too soft to do it even to their own demons. Here, my little brat, lies a place, honored by every demon, who enjoys fights and bloodlust, a place, where strongest fight with weakest one, - Infreno Arena~

Nazeel: A-Arena???

He got even more scared. So demons were cruel in the past, he thought to himself. But why didn't Lucifer tell him about it? While Algaron spread his arms wide to show how huge the arena is, he laughed evily.

Algaron: That's right~ Can you hear it? The shouts of the pleased audience, desiring more and more blood shows~ Oh, what a waste of such place~

Nazeel's body shook a lot, like trees under the earthquake. He tried to crowl backwards, doing it with his legs, but it was useless as he fell on the ground.

Algaron: What's wrong, little mouse?~ Too tight to run?~

Nazeel: This is a non-sense!!! Uncle Lucifer would not create such place!!!

But it only made the demon laugh even more wildly, not believing how naive was the boy.

Algaron: You're naive little piece of shit~

Suddenly his expression changed as he grabbed scared Nazeel's face with his one hand strongly, pulling him close to his face.

Algaron: Want to know the truth about your so called Uncle Lucifer? This scars, do you see them? They're all from Lucifer, the King of Hell himself. Wonder why? For being the true self. That's right, a "true" demon, can you imagine it?~ Of course you can't! You were under an illusion all the time! Believeing that demon can be redeemed and be nice. "Oh, LuCIfeR mAkeS HeLL a BeTTer PlAce. HoW it'S so SweeT oF Him!". This is all bullshit!! Demons will never fall under such useless trap!!

Nazeel's eyes cried even more, no words were coming from his mouth. His soul only cried for help, screaming with desire to get back home, to Anoli and Liya. Algaron let go of his face.

Algaron: You wonder why I'm telling you this, even tho I'm not supposed to~ Well, I don't care what consequences of it will be. My only desire is to let every creature know that we will never fall under angels or humans influence. I want Lucifer to show his "true" self~

Nazeel: T...True self??

Algaron: That's right~ The true King of Demons, the one, who would never indulge God, His angels and humans~ Ah, how long since I last seen his form~ Thinking about it drives me mad~

He put his hands around his arms, caressing them. Nazeel couldn't believe his ears. Lucifer had true form? What did this guy mean under it? What was Lucifer hiding all this time? So many questions ran inside him, trying to convince himself otherwise at the same time. Algaron looked up at the bloody sky, smirking.

Algaron: Well, seems like he is not going to come for the rescue~ Oh well, better for me~ Seems like we're here on our own, little brat~

He grabbed Nazeel by the hood as lifted him. Nazeel waved his legs, punching Algaron's stomach as strong as he could, but it was nothing to him. Meantime, Algaron's free hand shaped into claws that was ready to strike.

Algaron: It's been a long time since I played with innocent and pure soul~

Nazeel: MOMMYYY!! LUCIFER!!! HEEEELP!!!

He shouted so loud as echoes spreaded around the arena and tears ran from his eyes. Suddenly a big spear came out of the ground and stroke Algaron's arm that held Nazeel's hood, making him let Nazeel go and shout from pain.

???: Don't you dare to touch him.

Both Algaron and Nazeel turned around and looked at familiar figure, standing in front of them. Algaron gritted his teeth from pain, but still smirked.

Algaron: Look who finally came for the rescuse~ Lucifer Morningstar~ Or should I say.....Samael Morningstar~

------------------

And that's the next part for the story^^ Gosh, that was hard to write c': I want to punch Algaron's face now c': But what will Lucifer do? What is his next step?

Lucifer and Algaron belong to @wildstarfan and @milasartblog (both me)

Nazeel belongs to @captainthane

Okaria et Feria belongs to @wildstarfan and @captainthane

So I got this thing of "tea drops" for free and I just need to rant a little (lot).

The Journey goes like this: I see the packaging

Ok, cool, tea bag-less tea but pressed into cute flower shapes to avoid the hassle of loose-leaf. Sure, kinda pointless imo but again, got this for free. I read closer

"Wanted tea without the waste of a tea bag" I don't think tea bags are actually that wasteful? It's just paper? (I think. Some of the fancier ones are cloth but still). Eh whatever.

And then I actually look inside.

These things are INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED IN PLASTIC. Now I usually avoid swearing as a rule, but this is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

"tEA WithOUt ThE waSte oF A tEa baG" you just replaced biodegradable paper with SINGLE USE PLASTIC

And, like lemon juice in a handful of papercuts, according to my dad who tried it first: "it tastes like dishwater. Like wringing out a sponge." THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS MAKE IT TASTE GOOD.

Legit tho, even if it tasted like baby angels I still wouldn't want to make any, just on principle. I repeat: we got this for free, but that was still too much money for this horror show of a product.

I'm not joking when I am *seriously* considering sending a very scolding email to this company. I'm an anxious, RSD ridden mess and I'm so PISSED OFF by this that I want to EMAIL THIS COMPANY.

AAAAAAAAGHHHHHH.

for the drabble game: jungkook + 8 + 21 + 49 thank you so much! (i'm gonna request something less angsty right after if that's okay)

pairing: jeongguk x readergenre: tokyo ghoul au, angstwarning: mentions of death & murderwordcount: 966a/n: i only did two of them, i hope you don’t mind. and also this took forever i am so so osososo sorry.i hope you like it tho !

↳  21. “No one has a heart of stone.”     49. “It sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself.“

It is not an easy life, one lived with murder and gore, the taste of blood never not craved, and still warm flesh being torn apart by strong teeth. It is vile and disgusting, but it is not to be helped. What is easily called immoral, cold blooded by humans, is nothing but carnal need that you cannot control. It is part of your nature to prey on them, just as it is for the wolf to hunt down the deer.

Yet, it doesn’t make it any easier. It comes with a foul feeling, draining the life out of something that looks just like your own kind, it feels wrong but right again when your hunger abides and lets you return to a sane nature once more. You have long gotten used to it all, but you never liked the killing.

Your kind is dubbed monster, but truly, there are only a few of those out there.

There are only a few that find true, unadulterated joy in the tearing out of hearts and dimming desperate eyes, only a few that see nothing more but a meal in a human being. They kill for fun, enjoy the hunt more than the feasting. They live for the fear in their victims eyes and the wails of pain.

While most try to keep their hunger sated, just enough to control themselves, just enough to blend into human civilization, to minimize their killings, those rather let their craving get the best of them, and not once do they seem to have any regret.

“Are you going hunting again?”

He is one of them, always out at night dressed in black with that grotesque mask of his, always roaming the streets and dying them red. Even if his last meal just lays a few days back.

“Why are you asking? Wanna join?” He says it with a terrible conceit, so sure of himself and mocking you for preferring the scraps you can get without violent ways. It makes your stomach twist.

“Investigators are swarming the streets these days. Mostly thanks to you.” You sigh, eyes following the red swirls on his masks that surround the scowling teeth and cat shaped eye holes. “It’s too dangerous.”

“We both know that’s bullshit, sweetheart. I’ll hold their hearts in my hand before those doves even realize I am there.” His lips curls upwards, but his smile holds no warmth. There is only bitterness, contempt. Venom is laced into his words.

“Jeongguk…” You want to stop him, not just for your own sake. Where a calm reigned before, with little investigators so even the weaker ghouls had a chance to hunt, is now a war zone with the enemies, stronger than you have ever seen, littering the streets. You know they have been drawn in by his excessive behavior, and yet, he still treats them as nothing but small nuisances.

“Are you sure you’re not coming? Want me to bring you something instead?”

You can only shake your head, just the thought of giving him a reason to torture another poor soul in your name sending icy shivers down your spine. “How can you be so indifferent to killing all those people?”

“People? Hell, they are nothing more that mere animals. Why would I feel bad about killing them?”

“Animals? Are you serious?” You exhale, horror letting your blood run cold and bones freeze. It’s a horrible feeling, the one of realizing how little he cares. “We live in their world, we blend into their society, we live and look like them, Jeongguk! We interact with them on daily basis, some are even our friends!”

“Friends…” He spins around, a tension in his body that makes him look so much bigger, so much scarier. He easily backs you up into the corner, makes you flinch when he moves his arm up, and your exhale of relief gets still stuck in your throat when you realize he is only running a hand through his hair. “The second they discover who we really are, it’s our death sentence. They’ll send doves after us, they’ll call us nothing but monsters. They are not friends.”

“Maybe they’ll call us monsters because of people like you. People who kill for fun.”

“I’d rather be a monster than end up dead because of them.” He steps back, gives you room to breath again, to let your shoulders drop and the tension escape, but anger still fills the room, waits for a spark to explode.

“You cannot tell me that’s the truth. You don’t want to be a monster.” There’s a stutter to his movements, it’s slight but there and you notice it. And you cannot help but see it as a shimmer of hope. A thin little tread to his real self, one that hates the blood he has on his hands. “You hate that word as much as me. You hate the way we are forced to live. You don’t hate humans, you hate the way we cannot live alongside them. No one has a heart of stone, all those death do not leave you unaffected.”

He lets out a bitter laugh, one that echoes deep down in your bones and one that shatters your heart into a million pieces of sharp glass that leave your insides bleeding. “You sound like you are trying to convince yourself.”

You open your mouth to respond, but he is already out the window, mask tightly secured to never reveal his identity just so he can live a normal human life once the day comes and washes away the nights secrets. And the only thing left for your to do is to hope he is not killed, hope that you see him again, hope that one day he learns to live with himself.
