#this kind of edgy for real

[coconut-oil-smells]

Thinking about how future Donnie probably could of had multiple failsafes in place to destroy his brain in order to prevent the kraang from learning anything in case they ever got a hold of it.

Like acid or just straight up exploding it, because we know for a fact they can forcefully take information as long as they've got your brain.

magical girls anime except they've already finished their magical mission as teenagers and now they're adults still grappling with physical and mental trauma from what they went through while they navigate a world that has commodified their identities as magical girls.

Some design for Missa, Richarlyson and Chayanne, because I haven’t posted for a while. ( They will certainly change )

[hum--hallelujah]

half of From Under The Cork Tree is edgy sketchy and explicitly voyeuristic but the other half is heartbreakingly tongue in cheek confessional. and this duality makes me want to scream

[bitepire]

One delightful thing about being me is that I can truly write some crazy tier shit in the tags of peoples' posts like "my real face doesn't exist in the mortal realm" and it's just objectively true. I'm not shitposting when I say these things, I'm simply not human and my real form doesn't exist in physical reality. I think I'm a lot further from human than many people think. And you know what? It rules. And when people click on my tags to see who the crazy bitch was that's writing that shit, perhaps I'll widen their reality a little.

Probably not, but eh, a vamp can dream.

hi! i know that i'm fated to read your every work despite not knowing the media half the time. this time i would like to finally be one step ahead. so uhh. where do i read orv? do i go for the webtoon or the novel? to clarify, i did try to search, but got confused by reddit. also i am going to watch trigun. i've been eyeing animorphs too but the 54 (?) books are making me go hmm. thank you for existing you're pretty great. you're like the spiderman of writing but instead you got asbestos rat'd.

THIS ASK IS INSANE. WE'RE REFERENCING MY LORE NOW?

But thank you, you're insane. People ask why I have stupid high standards for the fics i post on AO3 and it is because there are people like you who will just read whatever regardless of whether or not it's good. I have a responsibility.

This ask also made me wonder if I have good taste. Because every time somebody says this my first reaction is "oh god and the source materials aren't even good". I read a lot of trashy stuff (but, like, define trashy), and I consume too many bad things to be able to say I have discerning taste. If I enjoy something I almost never call it bad, because things were made to be enjoyed and I enjoyed them then they had value in at least one aspect. If you were to ask me if my favorite TV show of all time the Incredible Hulk 1974 was actually, unironically, good, then I'd break into a cold sweat. Is somebody bad because it's camp? Is something bad only if it's unintentional camp?

Regardless, I never write fic for something that isn't only like 80% good - there's a sweet spot of 'good enough for me to obsess over' and 'bad enough that I'm rewriting it in my head'. It's rare I write for anything I find completely good. Which is why I feel bad when people say that they're reading this thing I'm writing fic for jalksdf there's better things out there I SWEAR.

ORV is in the sweet spot of "this isn't high literature" and "this has given me brain worms". Definitely for sure start with the webtoon - the webnovel is clunkily translated, you don't read it for the writing at all, and it is also a literal million words. Don't read the webnovel unless you're like "I'm going insane and I need more of this". It starts off kind of slow ("This is a well executed very banal isekai") and you're like a frog in the pot of it slowly going more insane until you're a ways in and you are in a tangle of ridiculously complicated gambits and convoluted storytelling. There is literally no other way to describe it than the Homestuck of webnovels. If you're completely unfamiliar with isekai that's fine, but as a warning - ORV being your first webtoon/webnovel isekai is like your first shoujo manga being Ouran High Schol Host Club, or your first magical girl show being Madoka, or your first mecha anime to be Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's one of the best works in its genre but it's supposed to be viewed in context of the genre. Or maybe it's more like if Homura starred in Evangelion, which was Ouran. I'm just saying words.

Animorphs is kind of like Mother 3 in which everybody who has ever read/played it said that it changed them as a person, it changed their relationship with media and storytelling forever, if you read/play it you will be born again from the world's egg, etc. Works that genuinely become part of your personality. I also never recommend it to people because it is incredibly hit or miss. I remember using a spreadsheet of just "what books are skippable or not" because some of them are incredibly weird and some of them are incredibly weird in the bad way. The only Animorphs fic I've ever written is from 2019 so it's also not that great. Each book only takes an hour to read and the pdfs are free online, so it's incredibly accessible in terms of the reading experience, but it's kinda the Animorphs gestalt that changes you forever and not the individual books. I try not to recommend stuff that's like 25% bad.

Watch Trigun if you like what Trigun is - it's not going to deliver on something it's not. Also watch 98 first. Watch Stampede/read Trimax if you want more Trigun. The Trigun fic is based off Stampede but refer to my "I only write fic for smth that's 80% good and not 100% good" statement.

Also I think being bit by an asbestos rat just means that I probably have mold and drywall in my lungs, which would explain a lot about this blog. Thanks for the ask I love it.

I don’t know what ‘outspoken atheist’ needs to hear this but coming onto a post quoting an eminent Jewish philosopher pointing out how worldly habit and doctrines can sterilize a genuine faith with your, “good thing I haven’t believed in fictional deities in years” schtick is not, in fact, very flattering to your ideology.

i worry abt making Vwoop's backstory Too Edgy but . it is just a little thing in the middle of two guys with competing god complexes and it's NOT having a good time

[soundlessdragon]

I basically never finish anything but surprised myself by finding a full sketchbook yesterday that is actually like a complete art project. The pages have illustrations of my darkest expressions of self-loathing and despair, alternated with Scriptures about hope and mercy and comfort and purpose. Teenage me actually did a neat job with displaying the war between the mind and the Spirit.

feeling a little guilty because i like devil's minion but i'm not a devil's minion girlie and as such i am fully prepared to enjoy the amc take despite it having approximately nothing to do with the original flavour. however i'm going to be furious and broken hearted if they ruin lesmand or nickistat for me on account of the general loustat supremacy vibes. this is entirely irrational and i'm entitled to my favourites but still. free floating guilt because i'm hype for that old man to be so fucking mad and bratty about it.

[oh-meow-swirls]

honestly still in awe over the fact that we finally got something??? like. 3 came out in america in 2018. and 4 came out in japan. this is the first piece of new yo-kai content (excluding puni puni and the anime. and 1 for smartphone. and china getting 4) in almost five years. and of course it had to be while i'm sick and don't have the mental capacity to articulate my emotions-

[moonmoonthecrabking]

"chaotic bisexual-" i don't find this particularly encourages me to read the book, actually. i might anyway, because of the concept (and in a partial hope to prove my preconceptions wrong), but i think that a mistake was made somewhere in the marketing stage

[lunarmochi]

i heard someone say this the other day and i think it describes me perfectly:

"i don't have a preference for partners, but if you look across my favorite characters, there is some consistency between them."

yes, a lot of the people/characters i like may have X or Y trait.

no, that does not mean i will only fall for a person that has those traits.

no, that does not mean i will love my partner any less if they don't have any of those traits.

you dont even have to make up creepypasta lost episodes of spongebob there are real not-lost episodes of spongebob that are so creepy on their own . the ones that come to mind for me right now is the one where squidward goes through like a psychological horror mental breakdown when spongebob literally recreates his entire house & that more recent one where like, an evil jellyfish alien kidnaps bikini bottom residents & traps them in chrysalis while clones of them with pitch black eyes go around infecting other ppl by literally swallowing them . both sound made up but theyre real!!!
