Top 3 underrated YouTube channels I like and you should look at:

Tirade: scary games, responds to comments, always super nice. Check out his videos, or just leave an encouraging comment.

hodge podge: cosy games, very chill and relaxing voice, uploads a lot of farming games and has lots of completed series organised into playlists

reubengv: video essay type videos about British TV, not as underrated as the others but his videos are really interesting, especially the one about Jam.

#thank you for coming to my top 3 list #dont ask how I find these channels cause idk at this point #I found a lot of others while looking for Hotel Dusk playthroughs but they didn't stick with me like these #also i've been actually writing my book for once. Unbelievable I know #I considered giving up but i really REALLY want a trilogy #the middle book is done #the sequel has a draft it just needs a rewrite #but I'm worried this prequel will be boring #idk whatever anything for a trilogy that i can publish as a collection in one big hardback book

mvp yaai 🥺

@adanima tagging you here!

right! so.

the premise of the fic is mvp goes to visit yaai, which is not a very unique concept in itself. but i've got this very particular idea of yaai in my head, and i've come to terms with the fact that no one is going to magically write her for me so i gotta do it myself 😅

in my head, yaai is not very learned. she's village folk, and she doesn't speak very much, but she's very sweet and she's got this simplicity about her that often cuts through the murkiness of a messy situation. there's a lot of lingering grief about how she let her only daughter / pete's mother suffer at the hands of pete's father, but she's surprisingly frank when it comes to talking about that, and she lives by the idea that there's no point in wishing the worst parts of your life undone, because that would be undoing the best parts, too, and you cannot have one without the other. (she loves pete very very much.)

pete keeps secrets from her, and she knows this, and she knows she's better off not knowing. most of the time her worry for pete is in the background -- something she's learned to live alongside. but pete's disappearance scared her terribly.

anyway! that one canon phone call with her is rotating in my brain 24/7, and i just wanna write lots of words about her. and also about vegas and macau having to live with house lizards lmao. i don't have very much written, but here's a tiny bit from before they get there:

"Don't take this the wrong way," Pete says, which isn't a very promising start. "I didn't think you'd want to come? Or, well. That you'd — have a good time."

"Why not," Vegas says, eyes narrowed.

"It's just very, uh," and Pete scrunches his entire face, "rural?"

"Okay," Vegas says. "And you don't think we can handle that?"

"I didn't say that," Pete says immediately. "But have you ever been anywhere like that? Or stayed overnight?"

Vegas can feel a smile spreading across his face. "You think we're spoiled, don't you?"

#this wip has been on hold for a very long time and i'm worried i sat on it for too long #but hopefully after hades is done this will come back to me #it'll probably go through a full rewrite. my perception of how to write vegas has changed a lot since i wrote this #also i need to do a fuckload of research #mine: asks

am i trying my hand at a shitty fyodor analysis? yes. yes i am. this may be slightly deranged as it is also 3am where i live but i wanted to take a closer look into the similarities/asagiris line the fyodor is based on the joker. specifically, he mentions the dark knight joker, and imo this is where everything gets a little muddled.

personally i havent seen the joker (as in the movie) and i havent watched the dark knight in a while, but the difference between the imaginings is very focused in backstory. the dark knight features much more as a backstory for two face and not the joker, its just the joker who backs batman into a corner: either you make the city turn on the greatest politician its had, or you sacrifice yourself. from my understanding of the joker’s version, hes a much more anti-societal character, and while an argument can be made for fyodors dislike of abilities and wish to destroy them and the similarity there, i genuinely am not qualified enough to say.

but dark knight joker does make a good argument. for one, the introductory story of the joker changes every time. the repeat line of “do you want to know how i got these scars?” is the only part of his story that does not change. the only reason i point this out is because of the mystery behind fyodors backstory and his ability. this also ties into what i would argue to be the strongest point of fyodors inspiration by dark knight!joker; his introductory scene on ace’s ship and the ultimate killing of everyone on it.

why do i cite this scene in particular? routinely when joker shows up he tends to spin a small story about himself before killing everyone in the room, including allies. during fyodors introduction on ace’s ship he proceeds to follow this closely. spins a lie about his ability and kills every member on the ship, including karma, who’s pov we follow.

in relation to the most recent chapter, i think fyodor is hopping on this plan a bit as well. screw with sigma with some indication of himself (i.e., that of the split personalities) but ultimately he does plan on killing sigma and dazai, and (possibly?) chuuya as well.

but not only do i think this relates to fyodors introduction, oh no, i think this also sheds more light on nikolai and fyodors relationship, purely due to the fact that the dark knight is a movie which shows the origin of two face and how joker fits in. obviously i could go on with how dark knight!joker is much better of a manipulator than other characters (the use of harvey dent as two face, cornering batman, etc) but nikolai and fyodor are referenced to have a past together, and nikolai is flighty in an almost similar way!

without confirmation, i cant say for sure that nikolai and fyodors dynamic was 100% meant to be read as that dynamic from the movie, but i think it can shed light on the particular way the characters interact. of course nikolai comes to the conclusion of killing fyodor to release himself from his birdcage, whatever trap nikolai feels he is under could be implied to have been caused by fyodor, and i only say that due to the connection with the dark knight. harvey dent only becomes two face because his girlfriend gets literally blown up by the joker. so why does nikolai become, well, nikolai?

#anyway. 3am ramble. sorry this is a long post and might not make much sense lol i was struck with it.#bungou stray dogs #bsd #fyodor dostoevsky #im only tagging him even tho theres a lot of mentions sorry. hes my focus.#i dont know why i got struck with this??? fyodoros far from my favorite character #i think its because ive seen bits and pieces of the dark knight like ten million times and like #clearly people werent thinking of the same movie based on the reactions to asagiri stating fyodor was based on the joker sm #h #cmon guys the joker has differences based on every interpretation hes ever been in #early jokers were silly goofy guys #i dont even know what theyre doing with him anymore #my point is dark knight!joker was very much an intentional based manipulator character with an air of unintentionality #he lies constantly and changes stories but hes good at backing people into corners #and what do we see consistently with fyodor?#he lies and changes stories but hes incredibly good at backing people into corners #ok im done. sorry for misspelling his name earlier in the tags im not rewriting all of that.#bsd analysis #for posterity #tenor talks

The Joker is Wild is an episode that really doesnt work where it is in the show

the idea that BJ is set off by like. jealous rage or whatever over Hawkeye comparing him to Trapper just doesnt work so late in the show when there's been 0 indication that BJ is jealous about Trapper at all. it feels like it comes out of nowhere, just a half-assed sort of reason given to set him off

ive mentioned this before here and I know its a hot take within this fandom but the supposed Trapper Complex just doesnt exist. in the 8 seasons that BJ is present in the show, I can think of three times Trapper's name comes up around him

Period of Adjustment, where he brings up that he feels like he hates Trapper. should be noted that BJ here is at about the lowest point we see him at, he's in complete despair, and he's also blind drunk. he also specifically brings up that he feels this way because Trapper has gone home- it has nothing to do with Hawkeye

Depressing News, Hawkeye refers to BJ as being the 'same size, same shape' as Trapper, and BJ's reaction can be construed as being not exactly pleased about it. I think this reads more as him just not being happy about literally being called Trapper's replacement, not him being jealous

then, of course, The Joker is Wild

because of this it really just doesnt make sense for BJ to suddenly have this jealousy in The Joker is Wild, not this late in the show. it would've honestly worked so much better if this episode happened back in season 4, because then you could've made that jealousy believable with BJ still establishing himself in camp and Hawkeye still dealing with Trapper's departure. but as it is, set in season 11, it really just doesnt work. its such a He Would Not Fucking Say That episode

#mash #bj hunnicutt #its one of those episodes I want to rewrite cause I think it had all the potential to be a very very good episode #like I said I would've set it in season 4 #and I would've made it clear that Hawkeye has been comparing BJ to Trapper a lot #and in some not-so-nice ways where he's said Trapper was better at X Trapper's way with Y was better etc #(not done maliciously of course he's grieving his best friend leaving but it still stings)#and BJ finally has enough when the prank thing comes up and Hawkeye is going on about how great it was when it was him and Trapper #so he decides to get back at Hawkeye with a series of escalating pranks #there wouldnt be a bet element here he wouldnt rope anybody else in on it #he's still new he's still establishing himself and this is him just desperately trying to be seen as his own person #not just Trapper's replacement #and finally he goes too far and it blows up in his face somehow #maybe Hawkeye gets hurt #and everyone's rightfully pissed off with BJ about it! he's been mean he's been acting out what the hell is wrong with him?#and BJ feels fucking horrible about it and explains himself and how he's just so sick of feeling like #all anyone sees him as is Trapper's replacement #at this point implying Hawkeye's not the only one who's done the comparing and everyone can reflect on that a bit #BJ then avoids Hawkeye for a few days because he feels so awful about what happened #until Hawkeye hunts him down and forces the conversation to happen #BJ apologizes profusely and says he was being stupid and Hawkeye's like yeah you were being stupid #but he also admits he was stupid to not see what constantly comparing BJ to Trapper was doing #and apologizes for making him feel like he was just a replacement and not his friend #have a real heart to heart about it!! BJ character depth episode!!#it could've been so interesting the potential was there just not in season 11 #a plot line like that just didnt have a place anymore #and im mad about it 40 years later #invents time travel so I can write MASH episodes #anyways.#can you tell I think about this a lot

now bc of that one post abt zelda getting fridged whenever that one guy directs a zelda game im thinking abt tetra just getting turned to stone in ph and like. what would it have been like if she were an actual character in ph. what would she have done how would this have changed the story

#not gonna do a whole lot of tagging im just musing. if you wanna rb or reply with ideas thats great #im not the person to figure this out bc i dont actually care much abt tetra #not like oh i hate her but like. i only played ph and what i see of her beyond that has not endeared me to her #shes fine i just dont get it. ig cuz i didnt play ww but eh #cuz like. ok. pretty much the majority of phs plot relies on tetra having been turned to stone and fixing that #and me being the autistic little freak i am the psrt that also makes it hard for me to wonder what could happen if #tetra werent stone and that making the game better is like. ok what about linebeck and his arc #listen his arc is so fucking good and hes great and i dont think his arc would have been so good if link wasnt the character he was put wit #cuz link is a great foil and despite having minimal characterization has just the right personality to nudge linebeck along #cuz hes def part of what inspires some of that change in linebeck so idk what might have happened #if tetra was an active player interacting with him in ph too. cuz like idk most of the time when i see people #do stuff where they interact its usually tetra one upping linebeck or whatever and thars like. ok thats whar ciela does #maybe im reading into it too much and focusing on linebeck. idk how you couldve done and changed #the plot of ph to include tetra without just straight up rewriting the whole thing or putting link away #bc look me in the eyes. i do not think linebeck would have developed the way he did without having met link specifically #salty talks #idk i feel like linebecks arc is the best bit of story in ph so i want that to remain more or less intact bc thats where a lot of #the emotional stuff comes in at the end. his dialogue in the ghost ship battle and the final boss. its important #i dont think about tetra much cant you tell. so id leave this to someone who actually cares abt her as a character

I have spent the last 2 days perusing the extended documentation of the current state of CSS specifications.

Sometimes my hyperfixation will activate on the most ridiculous and objectively boring topics. But also I am EXTREMELY hyped about the recent additions of color() and :has(). (which are not really that recently added but I don't typically spend much time on the minutiae of coding language development)

#do you know how many 2-3 step rulesets I can rewrite to be 1 using :has() ?? A LOT #and being able to calculate relative colours has previously only been done by using third-party pre-processors like SCSS or SASS #so being able to do it natively is fantastic!!

I’m in the middle of writing a long ass Danny Phantom fanfic and it’s kinda crazy bc for one I haven’t written a fanfic in almost 7 years, and for two I entered this fandom when I was literally TWELVE how am I still into it…my brain doesn’t get rid of fixations so easily I guess

#mott txt #it’s a rewrite of one I started when I was like 15. it gif good traction on ff.net back in the day #and my fav authors were following it and it was too much pressure for poor lil 15 yr old me #and the story was too involved for me to do properly back then #but I’ve wanted to redo it and finish it for SO LONG #danny phantom #it’s a story about Danny and vlad being stranded on a deserted island together without their powers #basically a long ass character analysis and Vlad redemption #it’s already twice as long as the original and I’m not even half way thru re-writing what I had #I used to be so involved in my fandoms and churn out so much content. but ever since college I’ve mostly become a spectator #which is fine bc I create a lot of my own original art in ceramics but something abt providing in a fandom and receiving feed back…#I want that again. it’s so fun #also this story has been nagging in my brain for YEARS #it’s already like 12-15k words. I won’t start posting it till it’s done bc I have a bad track record with abandoning fics #I also want to get back into writing in general bc I have ideas for novels I’d like to explore #sorry I’m like doing a diary entry in the tags. but that that’s new or anything

MAC MAC. SORRY I GOTTA RANT IN UR INBOX I’M HAVING MAD AT GENLOSS THOUGHTS. BUT THAT POST ABT THE BACKROOMS/POOLROOMS AND UR TAGS ABT WHAT YOUTUBERS DID TO IT GOT ME THINKIN. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH GENLOSS. ranboo took an already potentially scary concept—the deterioration of something when it’s been recorded over and over again until it’s incomprehensible, which could have been really cool if he had done it as an analog horror and made it so reality itself was deteriorating around them—and just fuckin. put Ooh Spooky Scary things in it and completely botched the concept. the fuckinggg. hey heres a big scary corporation CLEARLY WATCHING THE CHARACTERS!! ISN’T THAT SOOO SCARY AAAA!!!1! and the wire monster. and the “twist” villain hetch. the deaths. like. do u know brian david gilbert’s video Teaching Jake About The Camcorder??? that’s similar to what i wanted from genloss. if genloss was like some old video or show LIKE A SITCOM!! OR A GAME SHOW!! OR A HOME VIDEO!!! and the first season was was like almost completely normal and the second one was like a replay of the same episodes but Just Slightly To The Left and it progressed until it turned into something horribly irreparably distorted THAT WOULD BE COOL. THAT’S WHAT I WANTED. AUGH. PAIN. backrooms 🤝 genloss: oooh spooky scary monster makes things scary right??? ok sry i’m done i just HADDD 2 RANT. OK BYE

GODDDDD NO WHISKEY COME BACK UR SO SO SO SO RIGHT. I THOUGHT ABOUT GENLOSS AS I WAS WRITI G THOSE TAGS. actualy i was really thinking about the charlie/tommy/ranboo youtube vids where they just say "we're in the backrooms!11!1!" over and over again. like. aughghghhhg. god. genloss rlly is just ooooo let me shove this spooky scary thing in your face with 0 subtlety. there u go i have made horror. like thats NOT HOW IT FUCKING WORKS.

#will NEVER be over asters reaction to the big red button. we were on call and we both fucking SCREAMED over it #HE PUT A BIG RED BUTTON . IN THE HORROR SHOW #like that same exact scene would have been improved just by making it like. a big handle flip switch or something.#even that would have been more subtle than. big red fucking button #aster has this whole genloss rewrite that lives in my brain now. like. we couldve had it all.#theres so much that could have been just like. minor tweaks that would have improved it so much #theres no subtlety. theres no buildup. it's just BAM SHOCK VALUE. wow wasnt that scary #no it wasnt.#i haaaated the fucking monster at the end so kuch. i hated it . it made me so angry #like yes on its own it was really cool. in a different series it wouldve been great #but it was just SO fucking out of nowhere no buildup whatsoever . and i was there fir like 2 goddamn seconds.#oh whiskey jm so mad about genloss again . holy shit. that shit fucking sucked. 0 redeemable qualities im an enormous hater.#everything he could have done wrong HE DID WRONG.#there are a lot of the concepts that are so cool on their own and could have been cool if they were made by someone competent #HE EVEN WASTED THE GODDAMN NAME #like the meaning behind the fucking name is so cool. and he did NOTHING with it. fuck im so angry #asks #friends!!!#anachronistic-falsehood

Welcome back to tumblr! Hope you enjoyed your break

It was very stressful. Ended up failing the marking period for English, but not by as much as I was failing before. Could still pull up the overall grade by the end of the semester.
