#it's 2024 and we cringe on main

[agentmarcuspike]

in my shakespeare era, here's a sonnet about joel

She came into my world like an embrace My arms a wall to shield her from concern Her smile enough to lighten heavy days I swore to keep her life safe in return Existence without her is like a hole A grave dug out for me to lie alone No way to comfort, soothe, calm, or console In this, the deepest pit that I have known And then before the final spade of dirt The Good Lord reprimands me with a light It stings and it reminds me of the hurt But there’s no doubt that she is worth the fight I carry her through ruin and debris And she raises the torch so I can see

[lcevinolusola]

i think. i THINK. that i am content w my theme. for now. maybe.

[nerdpiggy]

anime i'm watching winter 2024

Dungeon Meshi. it's dungeon meshi :) you all know dungeon meshi

Bucchigiri?! This show is bursting with charm and style. In that sense it kind of reminds me of jjba with it's art and use of colors. main character is a cringe fail loser with IBS which is great. also the OP kicks SO much ass. I havent loved an OP so much since... maybe chainsaw man, or blue lock OP 2. or mahou shoujo magical destroyers but we dont talk about that show anymore

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic. I just liked the humor in this one, and I think the characters are neat. fun little show :)

Solo Leveling. I heard a lot about this one when it was a manhwa, and the anime seems to be high production quality, so I have high hopes for it. Also I like how bloody it is

Sasaki and Peeps. Hello cute little birdy and normal middle-aged salaryman. This show intrigued me because of How Much Plot they were trying to shove in there. Theres so much plot that i think the first episode was a double length if I'm remembering correctly?? But also it's just about a guy and his magical bird. lmao

Loop-7 (im not typing out the whole damn title). I might drop this one eventually but listen. time loop premise got to me. Main character is neat but it's pretty run-of-the-mill

Majo to Yajuu. Okay i have no idea what to expect from this one, i just saw a girl kiss another girl in order to murder the girl and i blacked out. probably won't be good but i'll stick with it

2024 the year of being cringe on main with no fucks given.

[wendytestabrat]

wendy was AWFUL in season 20 (FROM THE VAULT [like 2020 or 2021 idfk])

Season 20 is really the season that ruined Wendy’s character like I know Wendy was always inconsistent because she was voiced by a million different people, but I feel like once they settled on April Stewart as her new voice actress around Season 8 they did a decent enough job developing her character in a new way and setting her up for something, because before that Wendy was just seen as Stan’s crazy ass girlfriend, the girl who got breast implants and shot a substitute teacher into the sun and kissed Cartman which were all things Wendy did in the early seasons before she was voiced by April Stewart. But then April Stewart gave her that more mature voice, and then we got some pretty good Wendy episodes like “Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset”, “Breast Cancer Show Ever”, “Dances With Smurfs”, “The Cissy”, even kinda liked her in “The Hobbit” even tho she was kinda annoying in that one DJSJSJSJ. But what all of these episodes had in common was Wendy was like the protagonist in a plot or subplot and we understood things from her side and could root for her, like Wendy was usually put in a completely ridiculous situation where she got to be the hero and the only smart and sensible one surrounding a certain issue, which was usually about feminism. Like I felt like I agreed with Wendy in “Breast Cancer Show Ever” that breast cancer is a serious issue and people shouldn’t be making fun of it, and I agreed with her that photoshop and our unrealistic beauty standard is harmful to girls. But then out of nowhere Season 20 pulled a total 180 on her character and made her that villainaous antagonistic person again where she completely irrationally started a gender war and turned all the girls against the boys and then broke up with Stan for no reason and then it just gave me war flashbacks from all the times in early seasons and stuff when we saw Wendy act careless and selfish and treat Stan like shit. Like when she dressed as chewbacca for halloween and told Stan to dress up as raggedy andy, all of the little obnoxious things like that that made her unlikable and antagonistic before. I’m just sooo tired of not knowing if I should be rooting for or against Wendy. Because it’s easy to make a protagonist or an antagonist or anti-hero likable u just need to know which side they’re on if they’re good or evil DJSJSJ and Wendy will do something good that makes us like her one minute and then she’ll just be a complete asshole another minute. Even Kyle who is rlly flawed and stuff is still more of a likable character than Wendy in my opinion because he’s still consistent, Kyle is usually just put in that protagonistic/anti-hero position where he fights to take down Cartman in every episode with him. Because in a lot of the episodes that focus on Stan it feels like Wendy is Stan’s antagonist and like she’s against him, but Stan is literally the main character of the show so they need to make it clear if Wendy is on Stan’s side and fighting for the same good causes that he fights for or if she is just against him DHSJSKKSKS.

UPDATE 2024:

also the shit when she made fun of heidi for being with cartman was CRINGE but it was funny when she was roasting heidi after she turned into cartman 2.0 bc she deserved it when that happened DJSJSKSDG heidi didn’t deserve the bullying when she was still the same sweet heidi

Upcoming Sapphic Games "Goddess List" Part 2.

I’m back with a new Sapphic Games Goddess List this list will mostly not be touching on any game I mentioned on the previous list so do check that out for even more upcoming sapphic games. A lot of the games from the previous list have now been released but plenty are yet to see their day in the sun yet so do give it some love, I am giving a forecast of what I see in the horizon for 2024 and beyond. I will likely make a new one of these lists when I think I have enough games to talk about. If you know about any games coming with any significant Sapphic parts of their narrative or gameplay please let me know and I will happily include them in the next list. 

I am just making these lists because for me, at this point I mostly want to play games I feel represented by so I am doing this research anyway, I may as well share with you all. That said this research is hard and long, I play every demo I can for games labeled LGBT that have a shot of being sapphic, I try asking devs if their game has sapphic content, I try to find every single place the games been spoken about, not to mention actually hunting down these games. It is a big process and if you would like to support me doing this research over on Pateron or Ko-fi that would be amazing, plus you’d be helping me make more sapphic art like my work  in the TTRPG space but also I am low key working very slowly on a video game because it’s something I always wanted to do. Could be 25 years for now but every dollar makes it more possible for me to make more polished art from comics to games but anyway, let’s move on from asking for cash to tempting you with things to spend cash on with the list. 

Non VNs

Sunnyside

Sunnyside is boasting a large as hell roster of romanceable characters with 24 characters being boasted to be on release. Like most farming sims you pick from the fabled three pronouns She/He/They and customize their character. You pick your gender on a slider from Female to Male so you describe your gender through the place in the slider you picked and characters have a preference inside of that. They said on a live stream that the minimum options you should have is 4 which I took to mean maybe if your gay or a lesbian you might only have 4 of those 24 options to romance which is not great really to know the game has so few options for you out of all the options in the game but we'll have to wait and see on how it plays out. There is also no polyamory in the game, you can be dating a few characters at a time but there is a lock in point where you must be monogamous. It's one I am keeping my eyes on but has it's ups and downs in it's approach to gender and sexuality. I do really appreciate it boldly moving outside of the norm though and actually standing out in the crowd of dating sims.

Witch and Lillies 

A dungeon crawler all about forming relationships between women and killing monsters in a dungeon. Characters form relationships and can even have stumbles in them similar to a game like Miitopia but a bigger focus is put on romance and all the characters you can generate are women. This game does not seem to have a focus on narrative even below the degrees of something like Etrian Odyssey but if you just want the story to be the mechanics that are in play and the building relationships of these women you create then it’s gonna be a really perfect game.  

Keylocker 

A tactical RPG with a cyberpunk flare and a built in relationship system. This game is a really flavourful game that just has an art direction that just totally captures the kind grim but with a sliver of hope cyberpunk it wants to capture. 

Dustborn

Dustborn labels itself as LGBT on steam, it says you can shape relationships, the main girl looks gay, I am gonna put it here and not in speculation despite it technically being speculation. Some people say this game looks cringe but honestly, I am cringe and I am free, I think it looks stupid in a fun way but we’ll see how it is when it comes out. 

Izrand allure

Izrand Allure is a game set in the world of one of the creators previous games Luxarane Allure, like that game this game will feature an all WLW cast giving us plenty of good sapphics, lesbians, yuri, etc. This game will be a complete standalone RPG with no need to have played the previous game and promises some evolved mechanics job system and a much larger cast too with 7 party members. If you were ever like I wish there was a game like Final Fantasy but lesbians were in it then I suggest you keep your eye on this one [and go download Luxarane Allure, it’s free and if you like it you could give the dev money].

Rouge Labyrinth

Rouge Labyrinth will contain romantic epilogues with characters including a poly option. There will be sapphic romance included within these although idk if the poly option is multiple women + Non Binary people or if it is as it is in the majority of poly representation in games one man and one woman. Time will tell on that but what I can say is this Rougelike game looks really fucking cool, fighting colonisim is an all time hobby and this is a game I am really keeping my eye on. The game has a demo so I for sure recommend you check it out and see how it feels for you. 

Narrative Games 

Living the Dream

While the game failed it’s kickstarter goal the developer hasn’t given up in fact the game’s scope is being increased. The game is a very queer game in general but when talking to the developer I did get it confirmed that this body swap adventure has sapphic romances inside of it and the designs are super cute. 

Renai Bakudan

Can love bloom in a love hotel, probably, ya, almost certainly.  Coming from the developers of Good Lucky Baby! and LOVE BAKUDAN comes Renai Bakudan an 18+ Yuri game all about lesbians [and probably other sapphics] lesbianing it up in a love hotel. Inside of this game is even more gayness with unlockable gay erotic written by sapphic erotica writers. You play as Ex-yakuza Juri Kido who know is a cleric at a Love Hotel and ends up meeting lots of hot women. There is 7 whole romance routes with one that’s going to be voted for because it hit the stretch goal. It’s an impressive piece of sexy accomplishment and one you should keep your eyes in. 

Lock and Key

A married couple of magical girls are having a pretty nice life. Only issue is magical girls lose their power at 30 and a murder mystery is brewing. Can they figure out what the hells going on while they still have their powers? While I don’t love the lose your powers when you turn 30 plot point I do think murder mystery and magical girls and lesbians is like a ton of good shit all backed into one good package. The demo is really solid and I think it’s a game you really should check out.

Our Home, My Keeper 

A writer goes to the countryside and finds love, a classic. That writer falls for a fairy in a really sweet little lesbian romance game. It’s not a dating sim where you're going to be picking between love interests but it’s a narrative adventure where you’ll learn about these characters and their world.

Summer At The Edge Of The Universe

A solar punk game with a bigger edge towards the scifi then the majority of Solar Punk. The game has two romances one with a non binary character and one with a woman. In addition there is an aro woman who you can make out with but is not interested in a romantic relationship, just friendship. 

The Phantom of the Black Rose Revue

Capturing a clearly classic manga style, The Phantom of the Black Rose Revue is the most aesthetically unique VN I’ve seen in a long time with a bold black and white take. You play as Chihiro Sato who has a dream of being famous for her acting in her all female theater troupe. She starts getting obsessive letters and mystery, romance, and more begin to take this story in all sorts of fun directions. Act 1 is all up for playing but there is more to come in the future. 

Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER

Midboss are one of the biggest people in Gayming. A sequel to Read Only Memories, a very classic VN in the indie scene, brings us more gay adventures with our sapphic lead who was a character from the previous game elevated to main character. This game gives a stunning cyber punk vibe that is a visual treat and delight. 

Call Me Cera

I got like a tiny bias in this in that they have made a little spinoff game and in it the characters play Thirsty Sword Lesbians which I worked on but they didn’t even mention any of the stuff I made for TSL in it and I also do not make royalties on TSL but I wanted to mention that the creator has great taste I guess. The game is focused on making meaningful connections and an attempt to move these games into a place where you make healthy decisions for you not just the right options to win someone's affection.

Skate & Date

Roller Derby is for the sapphic, we know this to be true and yet there is such a lack of Roller Derby sapphic romance games but what’s this on the horizon a derby filled game about girls who are gonna do a kiss. This game sounds really cute and it’s one I have had my eyes on for a while. 

Decent Gay Potential 

Project L

While project L does not currently have any of the many canon queer characters in the LoL universe as playable it is very likely that at least one of the canon sapphic characters are included in the roster of the game just given their popularity and that they are compatible with this kind of fighting game. If the roster leak is accurate we’ll have Vi in the game, which makes sense, big fists, in Arcane, one of the most popular characters, and just so happens to be a lesbian. Even if the leak was totally wrong, Vi feels fairly likely even with the already existing inclusion of Jinx and Ekko just because Piltover and Zaun in the Runeterra universe are probably the most popular region. 

Outside of Vi at present Nekko, Diana, Leona, Caitlyn and Nidalee are all canon sapphic women who could end up in the game as playable characters. Riot likes to reveal about 3 gays a year as has been the pattern since 2021, 2 at pride and 1 randomly in the year so it is possible 3 more women are added to this list before Project L’s release if it came out in 2024 and 6 are possible if it comes out in 2025.There will probably be some queer men, maybe they’ll finally say the one obvious trans woman is trans, we can’t know for sure but of the many characters in the their world I do think at least one of these women have a shot at making it in the starting roster. 

SaGa Emerald Beyond

There is a pair of bonnie and clyde styled cops and while ewww pigs they do seem kinda gay so I gotta mention it here it’s possible is all I am saying. The Saga series way back in the day had a Lesbian main character, it really wouldn’t be out of the blue for the game to include a new set of sapphic women. Especially given in the gacha game it is very clear that the sapphic women are two of the most popular characters given they have been given many alts and they would only get alts if those alts sold. 

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes 

This game is called 100 heroes, if they are gonna have 100 characters there should at least be one lesbian and 1 bi woman and they should get together. I think it could happen.  There is nothing to say for sure but I believe.

Mahou Senshi Cosplay Club

It’s listed under LGBT games and their previous game Chroma Squad had optional sapphic romance depending on what characters of what gender you put in what role in the game. There was no real way to know you were gonna end up with that but since then they know that they have a decent queer fan base so I think it is very possible to get some sapphic fun even if it’s chose your own gay style. 

Double Shake  Loam and Dinx seem to be intended to get together and the game is listed as LGBT+ so I am gonna go out on a limb here and say, probably sapphic. It could be that idk Loam is trans or Dinx is Ace/Aro idk for sure but I think sapphic. 

HellMall

It’s a gay furry game, these things tend to lean towards men but it is possible that this is a gay fury game with some goodies for the Lesbians. 

Spirit City: Lo-fi Sessions

This game probably doesn’t include proper sapphic representation but it’s kinda just a playlist and screen filter idling game to have on as you do work. What it does promise is some pride flags and maybe there will be some other queer things inside of it.

Madam is so overexposed I know more about her cooking/dietary habits than I could ever want to by u/Training-Jello7600

Madam is so overexposed I know more about her cooking/dietary habits than I could ever want to Wannabe foodie Meghan is my favorite of all her eras. It was right before Harry; she was desperately looking for her third (fourth? fifth?) act and sleeping her way into the Toronto food scene and writing some of the most godawful prose ever committed to page on that blog. I enjoy seeing someone so basic and cringe attempt to pivot from a lackluster acting career into an even more lackluster career as a foodie guru influencer.(As a side note, it’s telling and ironic that the most successful and uplifting content of her life was the “Together” cookbook, made when she was a working royal. Looks like the Palace knows what they are doing after all!)In honor of foodie Meghan, and in anticipation of whatever she’s about to unleash on us on her Instagram if it ever does indeed launch, I’ve compiled a perfect day of eating for the Meg.Breakfast:- For madam: After barking at her maids to clean up the broken crockery from the night before, she tucks into “A cup of hot water and a slice of lemon, followed by her favourite breakfast of steel-cut oats (usually made with almond or soy milk) with bananas and agave syrup for sweetness” (a line from the Pulitzer-winning “Finding Freedom”)For the three children (Todger Cream included): First a serving of inspirational bananas with messages such as “stay strong” (they’re gonna need it in that household!) on the peel. Then organic waffles on the Queen’s waffle maker. It’s shocking we don’t know the brand and that it hasn’t been merched yet, but there’s always time.Lunch:- A “mean bolognese” (Megain’s words), most likely Chef Corey’s recipe but repurposed for ensnaring Harry, who was impressed with her apparently amazing use of spicesFor the kids: In-N-Out milkshakes because she’s a cool relatable young mother of littlesSnack:- For the kids: Quesadillas served in a poverty backpack for the unhousedFor the man child: Vegetables from the garden and try-hard jam with Etsy labels that they haven’t been able to foist onto more unfortunate journos For Madam: A Clevr SuperLatte with a foam of trace lead and other earth metalsDinner:- Sushi appetizer for her while Harry sulks that there isn’t a steak option. He whines so much that she whips up her signature invisi-tacos a la Michelle Obama and puts Nando’s Peri-Peri sauce on them to remind him of the time she ate a three course meal while also on an epidural/bouncing on an exercise ball at the same timeAn engagement roast chicken for the main; Ina still hasn’t called but she’s holding out hope for a collabSome plant-based/pretentious sides with the latest pseudoscientific healthy merchable ingredients That f*cking lemon olive oil cake made with lemons from her trees (that if I hear about one more time I’m going to explode)Several bottles of Tignanello, our Saint’s ambrosia of enlightenment Late Night Snack:- Ozempic a la modeThere you have it! Let me know if I missed any of our Saint’s favorites. post link: https://ift.tt/mFKz8Ms author: Training-Jello7600 submitted: January 12, 2024 at 09:24PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Four Course - Bucky Barnes

TITLE: Four Course - Bucky Barnes (Restaurant AU)

FANDOM: Marvel’s “Falcon and The Winter Soldier” 

CHARACTER: James “Bucky” Barnes 

MAIN STORYLINE: As Bucky helps a restaurant succeed, you suddenly turn heads. 

Author’s Note: Hey! I couldn’t get away from one absolute brainrot. This project is also loosely inspired by “Burnt” and “The Bear.” Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for reading my work as always. - V.  💜

Main Masterlist

___________

2024

“You’re late, Sam. What the hell?” Clashing dishes and sizzled burners echoed all around while James continued working, already slammed. 

“Watch your mouth, I just clocked in. Had to drop AJ and Cass off at school this morning too.”  Sam quickly rolls his eyes. “Is Z here yet?” 

“Nope.” James immediately praises the ceiling, casted in fluorescent lights that sharpened too much now. 

“Thank God.” Sam pings that response, snatching one of many tickets and handing it to one server in record time. “I’m not trying to deal with his attitude yet.” 

“Neither am I.” James agrees. The last few years scorched like Hell. Zemo had finally traveled stateside and opened this restaurant. 

“Stop complaining. He can smell annoyance blocks away.” Joaquin warns, returning to the kitchen and still giving meal orders. 

“Obviously.” James shakes his head, cooking regardless with his bare right hand. 

____________

Helmut Zemo would’ve arrived during the first shift, but showing up fashionably late still made a difference in his own mind. 

His limousine pulls up towards that familiar curb and one young driver almost runs around New York traffic just to aid that exit. 

“Thank you.” Helmut whispers gratitude with accented English, but uses a separate door to enter the restaurant.

*****

“Shit, Come on. Zemo’s coming!” After running outside, Joaquin finds James  smoking a cigarette and finally snaps, sending himself into panic. 

“Where’s he now?” James stubs out the cigarette and brushes off his uniform, standing up in an effort to calm Joaquin down. 

“Kitchen. Get up.” Joaquin continues, no longer messing around. 

“I thought he didn't spook you anymore.” James chuckles without humor and still faces Joaquin. 

“Zemo doesn’t scare me, but we got a critic today. She’s hiding through our rush at this point.” Joaquin sends out even more alarm bells.

 James almost wants to choke him with his leftward metal arm. 

“Why didn’t you just say that?” James almost yells out loud, but is smart to walk back inside with Joaquin trailing behind him. 

___________

This restaurant leveled out in terms of quality placement, but wasn’t exactly known to be high-end. 

Ambitious owner Helmut Zemo founded the location eight years back, fusing Sokovian favorites right alongside other cuisine nowadays. 

The official review would be…something. Not that you would bum out this entire place, but everything felt rushed for plating. Each meal balanced onto your table without showing much love. 

You wouldn’t fault the cooks, at least not yet. 

***

“Is she nice?” Now, Joaquin mentions you, the critic, fighting an urge to cringe. Yet, he still helps out his coworkers. There’s no other choice. 

“So far.” Zemo clears his tone, clipping the response. 

“Quit chatting, you two. We gotta work and she wants dessert in the next few minutes.” Sam chimes, uniting with James as tickets keep moving in or out of the kitchen. 

“Sam?” Zemo arches one leftward brow and crosses his suited arms. James and Joaquin keep working, completely ignoring this quiet square up. 

“What? I’m not wrong.” Sam defends himself and silence then falls between both men. Zemo walks off. 

“James, come with me.” Zemo instructs. James can’t refuse, following both Zemo and Joaquin out towards the dining room. 

_________

“Here you go, Miss.” Smiling, Joaquin greets you once more and ends up gifting scrumptious cheesecake as dessert. “Hope this one makes you feel better.” 

“Thank you.” You grin back and chuckle at the moment, looking forward to enjoying this slice. 

James and Zemo stand at a fair distance as you turn your fork, cutting down this cake a bit more now. 

“Last bite.” After different meals, from appetizers to right here, Zemo whispers, hoping that you won’t actually step away and shut this restaurant down. 

Meanwhile, James’s heart races and drops all at once. In truth, he crafted every morsel that you’ve ordered. 

“How’s the cake?” Joaquin smiles back at you for the millionth time. 

“I need another slice.” You wipe your lips and rave, genuinely surprised. 

“Yes, Ma’am.” Joaquin nods, saying farewell as you finish eating the first cake slice alone. 

“Zemo?” You acknowledge Helmut at last, gesturing for this man to come closer despite this dinner rush. 

“Yes?” Helmut answers quietly, using his typical brand of charm to greet you. 

“Who covered my orders?” You question Zemo. 

At that moment, James’s blue eyes nearly widened. Still, you look right at him, knowing that he is the main “culprit.” 

“Fair enough.” James accepts that comment. You’re standing feet away from him now, privately standing outside and not viewed under Zemo’s watch. 

________

“Tonight wasn’t bad,” You tell James. “The main entree that you put out could’ve been a lot better, though.” 

“Glad you’re so understanding.” You nod, taking in your sight of an alleyway landscape. Horns blare from nearby traffic. 

“Good to see you again.” James clears his throat, slyly referring to the past. 

“Call me, Buck.” You lift your cell phone, use his nickname, and wink, heading elsewhere to leave him behind.

I actually love JJ so much 😭😭

REAAAAAALLL

the whole KSI arc in 2022-2023 kinda irked me n whatevs bc he just felt so... fake? Like, we started with Prime whereby he just became a dehumanised power plant pumping out prime advertisments CONSTANTLY, and alongside Logan Paul of course he didn't feel genuine anymore.... Then the rise of Misfits Boxing, cards which he clearly wasn't even interested in he promoted, and even supported giving a platform to YouTubers that had been previously convicted for crimes (Ice Poseidon is the main one), and just put on this big false promotor personality that once again made him feel unauthentic... And then finally, his own boxing persona as "The Nightmare KSI" was something else entirely. So cringe, overdone, nail-bitingly horrifying to watch... I can empathise with the fact he's trying to sell a fight and get his bag and create hype - but Gosh it just felt so forced - like, i know his friends say that his "personality" comes naturally - but during this period it didn't feel natural at all. It felt like a fake and forces facade and didn't create anything but hatred in the fanbase

Lockdown imo is where JJ peaked as a content creator because he literally just exuded optimism... Obviously it was sorta a role which he undertook as a content creator in one of the most depressing periods for a lot of people during COVID lockdowns, but that genuine-ness and laughter and community with Reddit n allat - i feel like that's when everyone really started leaning in to his personality and seeing that hey, he's actually quite sound n vibes

I'm really hoping that JJ's over his boxing persona - obviously he's still a misfits promotor and a Prime owner, but nonetheless, I wanna predict the return of a likeable JJ in 2024

I mean, his first vid of the year he kept preaching "good vibes only" and he's clearly looking out for his mental health n allat... I think he's actually gonna go back to being wholesome and likeable - and maybe it's j wishful thinking bc i was a massive JJ supporter - but i think we're gonna get a return of KSIOlajidebt-style content from JJ and i cannot WAIT

because hey, we've already seen him play scary game FNAF this year (absolute banger on MoreSidemen) and on Harvey's physio video JJ admit that he might get into streaming this year (which would also be completely wonderful)....

So fuck it, you're damn real for loving JJ and I'm predicting more KSI-lovers are gonna spawn this year with the rise of chill-style JJ

I finally thought about a cringe and nonsense backstory for Amethio

prepare yourself mentally and blame my mind if it's stupid

so. at primary school he was just an unlucky boy and Idk why but his hair was all silvery. everyone often forgot about him for some reason, but he found Charcadet and Rokidee and they were his only friends. :(

then when he was 13, his dad forgot to pick him from school (what a nice dad) and it was raining much so he got mad- also because Charcadet was with him and he was sick(?) because he's a fire type so we know. so he decided to try to go back home alone, (without umbrella) but he met Hamber who offered him to join their organization. Amethio accept because his life sucks and they go to the main base. Moral of the story Amethio dyes half of his hair because it looked better and suited Corvknight's color.

oh and there were some posters around the city for his disappearance.

fin

Have you ever noticed how Amethio's hair reflects Skarmory's and Corvknight's colours? I see it as a very cute thing

now I have to think about some connection between him and Terapagos because Terapagos seems very mad with him so bye.

anyway omg in 9 hours and 3 minutes is 2024

why do you think there is a chance that elain's book won't come out?

I don't know. I think i worry about the future of ACOTAR in general. I can't help but feel like she's lost interest in ACOTAR entirely. Once Rhys was no longer the main character, she just stopped caring?

We are getting 2 back to back CC books.

She refuses to even mention anything about the next ACOTAR book. Timeline. MC. Anything and everything. Like it doesn't exist. I feel like she cringes every time it's brought up. She'll talk about ACOSF until she is blue in the face, but any time there is a question about ACOTAR5 just in general--forget Elain, forget Azriel--it's always ' I dont know' 'I haven't written anything' 'I am not thinking about it' etc.

I am perplexed. It's your biggest moneymaker and you act like you don't give a fuck? You can't bring yourself to say the name Elain. Everything is mentioned in the context of previous books. You dodge any question about the future of the series.

I am not even going to entertain any 'But BB doesn't let her....' arguments. It's utter bullshit.

I think she has no ideas, doesn't know where to take the series and doesn't really want to do anything with it now.

IF, by some miracle she'll have a 2025 book (never gonna happen, let's be honest), that's 4 years between books in the series. I am thinking, likely 5, maybe 6?? Who the hell is going to care about it? It takes her 2 years to publish a book now. With CC3 coming out in January 2024, and if she has nothing written--as she claimed in the last interview for ACOTAR--then it will take at least a year to write, another year to publish. that's 2026. At the earliest.

Am I completely discouraged in general? Absolutely.

Forget Elriel/Gwynriel. I am not sure how many people will be in this fandom by the time something rolls around.

October 26th, 2023

It was never hard to tell that I was different from the other boys in school, or anybody for that matter. I was the kid girls would say ‘My homeboy wants you’ to or the kinda guy that was asked out as a joke, it got old after 5th grade but never stopped. Senior year was by far the worst one of them all, his name was Keith, and he wasn’t super pretty or anything like that, he was a nerd who would walk me to my bus stop and ramble on and on about how different Pokémon gods symbolized different things. I honestly liked him and he was cute, but i more than liked him, i wanted him all to myself, i still have a few of his leg hairs lying around; i like to sniff them to try and imagine how he tastes slow cooked like oxtail. 

December 15th, 2023

Nevermind he’s a weirdo and it turned out he liked Pokémon in unholy ways[someone check on his dog please], his meat was tainted so I lost interest in him. But my eyes didn't take long to wonder, there was a boy who was Canadian and he seemed rather nice, no he was beyond the kindness that any human should be able to give. He was like taking a bite of my first love [which i didn't know what it felt like, but i was guessing it was nice.] I loved talking to him honestly, he woke up around 8am and went to sleep at 12am but sometimes we went all night. I had no problem risking my sleep for him[it's not like my AP classes would be any better.] He was intoxicating, to say the least.

January 10th, 2024

I wanted him badly, like I wanted to wake up next to him, kiss him, hug him, I wanted to wine and dine him if I ever got the chance . The only problem was that well…he lived in Canada, he always talked of how he had mixed feelings about his country and I always told him that it could be worse. I mean he could be here for all he cares, but I'd never want my meat to be tainted by this land, these people[I'm such a proud American]. So I was going to go to him. I decided to save for the month. It was going to take a few overtime shifts and even snagging a couple of bucks from some buds but I was going to get the money and make it to canada.

February 10th, 2024

 The plane ride was rather boring without being able to text him, and even more so because the woman next to me didn't know social etiquette, like I was supposed to care that she got unlucky with life and contracted chlamydia. There was also this brony, which I found a sin in itself, but he smelled… like bad but it also made me snicker because it just reminds me of keith.

February 11th, 2024 6:27pm

Canada was a beautiful place but I had no reason to stay and admire it when all I cared for was my own appetite. But i couldn't help but let childish implusies pull me into a store full of valentine's day sales, what caught my eyes are the matching trolls cups, i couldn't help but get them wanting to see the response he would give to the gift[I love my adult money privileges].

February 12th-15th[was… busy?]

 I felt bad for him hes so nice and kind, so nice he just took me in without a second thought about how I found him or his home, we took a tour of his room and its nice it was just as nerdish as him, but i came here with a plan and i came here to execute it as such. His skin was nice, so I took some as my own and it hurt a lot. I think I splashed some blood on his favorite blanket, but anywho, why is the human skull so hard ? I thought it was gonna be like a nut and would just take a few hacks to crack it open but noooo he just had to be hard headed. I did get it open[almost breaking my wrist doing so] but I had no plans for a meal, I mean it's not every day you just cook up some brain, but we managed. I ended up using the brain for spaghetti; I mashed it all up to make meat balls and must I say they were delicious. His brain was so tender, it melted like butter, but it also had a slight chew to it, not a taint in sight. The ‘wine’ I had with it was a little thick but it was his so I drank without complaint. I was also quite proud of my cup purchase :D. Poppy was right… trolls do just wanna have fun

???, 2024 2:34 AM

 My head hurt, like a lot, I thought eating my love would make me feel better and full. Yet here I stand before his grave, my arms barely mobile as I dug him out, freeing him from the pits of the afterlife without me. A month he left me alone, a month with this hunger for more of him. His stupid casket was the thing that stood between me and my love, my satisfaction of being full.

There he was, as beautiful as the day I feasted upon him. I took my shirt off to show him that I still kept a piece of him with me. I touched his skin on my chest as I looked at mine on his. Death would never do us part so long as he had me attached to him. I would go through the redemptions of purgatory to see him flutter in the clouds of heaven. It felt like a sin to touch him again, to feel him to embrace him as I laid to rest beside him. Fresh tears poured down my face as I pulled the cover over the casket. This time I am not left behind, this time I am not alone.

“W-why — Why has your body left me so full, so satisfied. Yet I am starved for your love to grace me again.” I murmured softly as I caressed his face.

I hope you guys liked this… cus um im super proud of it even if it didn’t win!!!

GMMTV 2024 PART 2 (I heard Gmm is letting fans submit stories for adaptations now😭😭 bffr gmm and hire WRITERS)

•US: GL NATION ITS ANOTHER WIN!! EMIBONNIE !!! WITH SING. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast Usually I’m not up for the “siblings having same love interest” typa story but the shots looked so pretty plus P’Fon is doing this series so IM SEATED. They took the best trailer of the night for me !!

•Revamp (The undead story): WabiSabi probably having a bad day rn💀 GMM has two vampire projects now? hmmm which one of them will get pushed back to 2025🤔 Boun is one sexy vampire BounPrem always look good tgt. Aah sooo many familiar faces are in this, I’m looking forward to it

•Thame-Po (Heart that skips a beat): An Idol romance series! Unexpectedly I’m very sold on this EstWilliam are very handsome and something was working there. Sammy is also here🥺 Since real idols will be singing I can expect better performance too☝️

•Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist: Mark getting his well deserved main role. I’ve been waiting for this day!! The plot might be simple but it will be adorable. My pretty (REAL) doctor Jimmy is also in this- most likely to give me a second lead syndrome haha

•The Heart Killers: FirstKhao and JoongDunk with P’Jo. Unlike my impression of the mock, this is a ROMCOM🤡 Yeah the pilot was not clear at all FirstKhao have great chemistry but it just felt like I was seeing SandRay in another universe. On the other hand, JoongDunk have finally made it out of the universities. I heard that it’s gonna be based off The Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare, which confuses me more. I’m quite skeptical about this

•The Ex-Morning: Who would’ve thought I’d see KristSingto in a bl in 2024😭 It’s so nice to see Singto onscreen again. The rekindling flame theme is ironically suitable for them. Apparently P’Aof is writing the original script with the Sotus director. I’m torn about this cuz I dislike krusty a lot but the nostalgia is kinda hitting me. It’s truly og revival era

•Perfect 10 Liners: Not an ensemble again🤦‍♀️ I was so confused when I saw the huge ass line of actors onstage but it seems like this will be split into 3 parts to focus on all of the cps. So basically it’s Midnight Series but only gay with Jittirain’s mediocre engineering plot💀 Even if I were to watch this it will only be for JuniorMark but no promises made cuz I can’t even bring myself to watch We Are rn

•Ossan’s Love Th: actually I was seeing EarthMix in the opposite roles but Earth being the one stuck in between is much more fresh ig. I cringed a lot while watching this. Idk Earth maybe comedy is not your forte? I won’t be sure until the actual thing will start airing but still the sirens are on🚨

•Scarlet Heart Thailand: Tu is back again in an adaptation after quite a while. They’ve put together a strong cast here but why is Gun not here!?! I’ve neither watched the series nor read the novel but I’ve heard people say it was traumatising🤡 Since it’s a historical setting, this will cost a lot in production I don’t expect this to air until the end of next year

•Leap Day: This is the best one out of the lakorns announced in part 2. Gun is always acting his ass off damn. This show will be stressful asf but the plot is pretty unique. Everyone’s reaction when Pond said Gun is playing his younger brother was so skdjjdj

•Hide & Sis: Janhae in a family murder drama niceee I got some Pretty Little Liars vibes in the start. If you’ve enjoyed PSIHY you’ll probably like this too

•The Dark Dice: Is this Jumanji and Squid Game mixed and made darker?? Prim definitely loves doing thriller shows but I beg of her to get out of that school uniform already💀 and Gemini finally got to put his hands on this genre. I’m not interested at all

•Friendshit Forever: Girl who is coming up with these show names😭 They had me believing it was a gl in the first 30 secs. Ohh Boun welcome my pretty boy. Betrayal game shows are so boring🤷‍♀️

•Break Up Service: So Midnight Motel made even more illegal? It’s funny how I can see the clear distinction in Off and Gun’s solo project styles lol

Right now I can say I’ll watch atleast 3-4 of these shows. Well many of these series won’t be airing until next year considering Part 1 list is still pending to air Overall part 2 was much MUCH better than part 1

Tomino- Mobile Suit Gundam Episodes 1, 2, 8; Lamarre- Introduction My reactions immediately after the episode:

Post episode 1: The characters' eyes instantly remind me of that Korean YouTube video "Guess who?". I can't remember the creator, but the way the eyes have those reflection orbs in a solid color eyes (no pupils). I did not have subtitles, but looking at the fandom's wiki, I am displeased to find out the female lead's real name is not a playful nickname, insult name, or a name to play with words; It's Fraw Bow but I thought it said "frow brow" or "frow bow" which sounds awfully loke "frown brow" to imply her nagging attitude. Something inside me can't help but cringe when she cried and the main character and male lead has to literally slap her out of her trauma. Like, okay man, if you had your parents and grandparents killed in front of you, just a nice little b**ch slap is what you need. Overall, nice way to introduce the characters and their background. Although the enemies' reason for war sounds too similar to America's (actually any colony's) war for independence. The narrator said people were shocked, but it was not like America did not have a lot of street fights and actual battles, too. Not to justify the violence and the need to make battle suits, but they put too much praise for Amoro to step up and fight at a young age. I should say, I would not be surprised if someone else had a different reaction.

Post episode 2: So, another small detail I noticed is the shape or rather the rendition of noses. The shading underneath the nostrils is like a shading in manga or in comics. As these are animated faces, the details are simple, and the younger characters have a rounder face. Also, I don't think they blink, which is funny considering how detailed their eyes are. An important thing I noticed: a side character, wiki calls "Kai", runs back to the White Base by himself. Sayla criticizes him for being a "coward". While I know there must be more to the story, I can't help but wonder is it truly a cowardly move to escape with your life or a clever strategy to survive. At the same time, this is the first time we also meet Sayla, so perhaps it speaks more about her own character than Kai's.

Post episode 8; We were not assigned episodes 3-7, so my reaction may lack context. Spoilers permitted at your own expense: Kai in the span of 4 episodes became part of the military. I think it's because of the low supply of personnel as mentioned in episode 2. Also, you notice how his eyes are more of the "cunning" type to imply he is like Amaro's foil. In the WWI/WWII times, Kai would be the opposite of the ideal soldier, but during this episode he comes out as someone who is brave. I hope he does get some character development (when he goes into puberty and/or trauma, his eye shape might change). Also, Char calling Garma as someone who is too privileged makes fun of past Japanese leaderships during WWII.

These episodes altogether reflect the post-WWII sentiments Japan had. While weapons of unsurmountable force can and does tip the balance of a stalemate in their favor, the sheer power of these weapons compare to the power the atomic bomb had when it was first used. Japan recognized that if Japan ever came up with a power that outranks even Western weapons, they will use it for good because they were once the victims of a power that was used for the greater good...of America. While some may see this as humiliation, and they would not be wrong to frustrated veterans and civilians, it is also important to see this as equally humbling as humility for the silenced and hidden.

The animation and art style reminds me of the first Pokemon anime. While fictional creatures and fictional mechs are not alike at all, the animation reminds me of stopmotion, smooth but patterned to make a fluid-like movement.

also yesterday my birthday. this anime older than my parents.
