i like people who are like "ugh zenos is so annoying i hate him he's like a git gud video game guy" because like. on the one hand this is a reductive read. and on the other hand there's no crime in being a git gud video game guy in and of itself. i wish i could explain to you the holistic joy of finally embracing the idea of gitting gud.
but also YEAH he's a git gud video game guy. this is a video game. "grr he's wrong i don't like doing ever harder fights and dancing on the precipice of defeat" well okay! you can maybe forgive his mistake since you bought the base game and four expansions to the game where you level up and do dance fights against ever harder bosses! he has to be a git gud video game guy who treats combat like a game in order to properly be a foil to you, because combat literally is a game to you.

Okay, I've posted a lot of random stuff here..but this post might be the strangest:
I had a nightmare about Splatoon. Now, hear me out, this is how it went from what I remember (trying to post relatively early while it's still fresh in my head.)
Fig 1. I was playing Salmon Run, as normal, with randoms on Sockeye Station.
2. Then, we were suddenly thrown into an Xtrawave., but the "Emergency!" message didn't show up, instead it went straight into the "King Salmonid summoning cutscene".
3. Speaking of which, there was this really weird version of the Cohozuna cutscene where he was shown in an almost full-body shot and was wearing what looked a bit like a hospital gown. He didn't roar, instead there was a close up on one of his "hands", and it looked like he was holding something tucked against his body.
4. Going back into gameplay I immediately noticed that the UI was saying that everyone had disconnected, including myself.
5. Then the game straight up turned into one of those early videogame creepypastas. I was in a new map that kinda looked like Spawning Grounds, but completely flat and with no "environmental features" aside from a few blocks in the background. All the Salmonids were frozen in place and staring at my character and I couldn't move. Coho was teleporting around like a evil wizards (not even doing his jumps, and he was wearing his normal outfit again).
6. Then bro teleported right in front of me (like when he's aggroed and he's chasing you) and a text box came up, but it was empty, not even Mr.Grizz's character icon was there. Then my game crashed.
7. Splatoon 3 closed down and my Switched helpfully informed me that I had encountered a "rare error" with no error code.
I was so distraught and troubled by this I woke up....I swear it was way scarier than it sounds typing it all out.
Has anyone else ever had dreams about Splatoon?

Stand abilities under the cut:

Said objects gain consistency and elasticity akin to rubber or putty, unable to be crushed or be punctured by any force including sharp objects, and thus making said object actually many times more resilient.

You absolutely don't deserve it with the mischaracterization. :(
All the ocs you make are so wonderful and full of personality. I'm so sorry they get reduced down to single traits or made fun of.
I personally love checking in with your blog seeing your ocs.
They may not be my absolutely favorite ocs of all time. But I can still tell the thought you put into them!!
Keep drawing them if they make you happy!
huuu hweeb..... thank youou........ that genuinely means a lot to hear,
i feel very bashful referring to thierry AS an OC ( although let's face it, he's Pretty Much my OC by this point or very easily could be ) but GOD. it's like...
as i began to rise in popularity, i noticed a very Significant escalation in my narrator being used as the butt of numerous jokes; painted as this slobbish pig, horrible person nobody can stand to be around be it for attitude or " smell " & just get treated TERRIBLY.
numerous asks getting sent to me asking if he bathes or describing him as someone who doesn't, numerous other jokes painting him as this homely bum or incompetent-
fucking sad-ist themselves referring to thierry as homeless-lookinh at least twice to my face,
getting kicked around by people & characters in roleplay alike & just! so disrespected & reduced to jokes, mischaracterized to hell & back & having this be assumed as his canon. it's genuinely upsetting.
& it's like, yeah- this is the fandom that sees the narrator as ONLY a twink sexyman, i GUESS anything else that breaches the norm wouldn't be nearly as respected, but my god !!!!!!
i seriously wonder if some people think i created thierry's design as a joke, to LOOK homely or unrespectable, to BE the punching bag for everyone else.
when in reality, i'm just sharing my perspective, made with love & dedication, with other people & it's getting shit on for reasons i'm not even sure about, & it makes ME feel terrible as a creator & feel bad about my interpretation.
THANKFULLY, this isn't everyone & this perspective IS very well loved & i do appreciate that from everyone who's ever made that known - INCLUDING YOU ANON, it means SO much more than i can say & especially in these harder periods.
but it seems like now thierry's gotten this reputation AS a joke, AS lesser than the character he's supposed to be, so stuck to him as a character that it's hard for ME, the creator, to chase? even if it's been awhile since anyone's directly made a " huehue stinky " joke at me.
& it sounds so STUPID being mad about that when i type this out, but the reality is that people are taking unfunny stupid jokes & using that to characterize MY character rendition & impression of him & to see that is EXTREMELY DISCOURAGING.
this isn't even the first i've had to address the disrespect i face, this is just the first i've made it public on tumblr. i've had to say how much i hate this treatment at LEAST 3 times in private discord servers & continue to scream over people when they insist upon it otherwise. it's REALLY made me unhappy to be apart of this fandom in the latter half of my being here,
but. i'm not going to let that get me down forever, i know i won't.
just, you know? if there's anything to take from this? be nice about people's characters & make your jokes ( if so the creator allows ) but don't act like that's all the character is reduced to, & listen when a creator tells you stuff about them & don't reduce them down to whatever trait you think is funniest for the meme ???? just be respectful ?????

The worst part about Quackity losing all of autonomy is we as an audience weren’t allowed to see it be stripped away.
I know it sounds terrible but wouldn’t something so significant as someone LOSING THEIR READING AND WRITING COMPREHENSION be at least shown to the audience? Wouldn’t we be shown the process of striping someone to skin and bone? The way it was reveal was so cruel.

Girl you are gradually becoming my favorite account for Motorcycle racing so I need to vent a little here.
So I watch Moto3 more now because friends say it’s the most entertaining category, plus lots of Turkish people can be passionate on Instagram talking about Oncu, so Imma like “ok what’s with him then”. There I discovered Dani Holgado. He’s fast and he looks like a model and all that stuff so I did my research, only to discover the boy just turned 18 this year, quite smol and everyone seems to love hugging him so I was like “Awwww” 🥹. Then I come to invest his Instagram and girl, what’s up with him and his sister???? Like I love my lil bro to pieces but I will rather die than giving him that much affection, now I can’t stop thinking about that, helppp 😭
Let's all pay our respects to anon who has just discovered Holgado's sister o7
