ive only played this game a cuppla hours and i dont quite Know this guy yet but i have a sinking feeling that if this game gets enough of a following the fan content of this guy is gonna get crazy and not in a good way

i have a wild thought that i’m just throwing here so that y’all can do whatever you want with it

y’know how current blue team has two members working for the eye? forever, infected with the virus, and elquackity?and how they both were in the same team at the start?

what if the team they are in isn’t the cursed one but whoever the other team competing against them is? because if the team they are in wins and ”saves” the eggs, they can kill them at the eye’s command? what if red is the cursed team solely because red losing ensures the team with the traitors having the lives of the eggs in their hands?

(tbosas movie spoilers!!!) i think the worst part of tbosas for me was that coriolanus was right??? all those offhanded little comments he made 'on a whim' to try and 'help the tributes' and in turn save himself were right and it's horrifying to realise that he didn't need to try to think of them and try to be like his father bc he already was. from an audience perspective, i sat through the whole arena part of the movie disgusted by everything happening in it and begging for it to be over (it didn't really get better after all that but oh well). the deaths were more gruesome, the arena more terrifying and everything felt too real (i also watched it in imax idk if that helped). not that the deaths in thg and catching fire games weren't horrific, but in an offhanded movie fan way, i used to look forward to the arena. because it became exactly what dr gaul wanted it to be and what coriolanus realised it was and what lucy gray made it: a performance. in the 65 years after, they made the arenas interesting and real and natural and beautiful, with weapons and mutts and gifts and places to hide and places for open bloodshed, they interfered with the games to help and then kill their tributes (sound familiar? yeah thanks a lot coriolanus u bitch) and it was literally the most harrowing thing to sit there and watch the movie as i realised that it was entertaining to me to watch the first two movies because of that. we are no better than the citizens of the capitol and i just think that sucks.

in honor of one year of stellarlune, is there anything you really like about it? there's a lot of things to hate but for you is there still some good in it?

oh! wow! interesting question!

I don't think it's any secret that I have a very deep hatred for stellarlune lmao but one scene did immediately come to mind when I saw your ask.

in the end scene, fitz mentally checking in with keefe (before he does with sophie) and stealing her dagger to give to keefe? trusting him with that?

and the fact that keefe goes through with trying to stab gisela? ough.

this was big for both of their characters I think. fitz has been here. he's held his brothers life in his hands and hes tried to end it before. he knows the anger that keefe is feeling and agh.

for him to be there? for him to acknowledge those feelings and for him to help keefe? to, despite all the tension in the last few books, give him the dagger.

the keefe/gisela and fitz/alvar parallels were strong here and I think this genuinley may be one of my favorite scenes in the book.

Emily of New Moon deserves to have its own Anne with an E. It would work so well too considering the fact that the books are very dark and it would do a good job of expanding the characters, particularly my boy Teddy Kent because he was done dirty in the show from the 90s.

the fuck do you mean I have to leave....

[ghostboyhood]

Should I watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia???

oh boy okay...

its a great show but you have to remember that its from 2005, about terrible people doing terrible things.. some jokes r taken too far and arent the.. greatest, lets say

but in all honesty i do think you should watch it, it may take a season or two to get into (< ive seen a few ppl say this) but its really great,, the characters have a lot more to them if u actually pay attention n shit, youve got 16 going to be 17 seasons to watch so theres a lot to watch, etcetc

js keep in mind that its a satirical show about bad ppl and ur good i think!

For Shadow using guns, I think the easy answer is just that they didn't care, but I have my own interpretation of it that works with his backstory instead of against it. At the beginning of his own game, where he's desperate for answers to the point where he's willing to do basically anything, his only memory is Maria getting killed. Him thinking about a death from a gun so much probably hammered it into his head that they're very effective at killing people, which he seems pretty willing to do in the game if it means solving his past. Basically, while he does see them as the thing that killed Maria, in his eyes they're also a powerful tool that could make his search easier

maybe... its also unclear just how much of shth actually happened due to the whole. theres different endings based on the choices you make thing. and i can only think of like. 2 missions where you would actually HAVE to use guns to clear them (could be forgetting some though). and i dont think he has guns in any of the cutscenes aside from the opening cinematic. so you could also argue that there was little to no gun usage when it comes to the actual canon events

[abusivelittlebunny]

I want to have hope so I can have motivation and courage but I'm terrified of getting my hopes up and hyping myself up only for it to be just crushed into dust. I want to believe but I fear that regretting the joy of it will kill me

[victory-cookies]

sometimes I think I’m getting better at dealing with my fear of failure and stuff and then sometimes I say one thing that’s wrong and I can’t stop thinking about it the whole day

[caterpillarinacave]

okay, i'll admit, i don't know quite what your reasons are for loathing the manga because i barely know anything of it. so. throw me your ideas for what you think a novel-compliant tid animation should look like. art style? color scheme? motion-capture/cg or hand-drawn/cel?

my personal ideal of what the series would look like, for reference, is one of those old hand-drawn cel-style animations, and an art style that looks sort of like a moon knight comic: vivid and crisp and black-shadowed and blued but also smudgy or techicholor-psychedelic where it needs to be.

Gonna be honest I don’t have many complex thoughts since I’m pretty sure I read the manga in middle school? And I only read it once.

The art style was a very classic manga, the character designs were inaccurate, flat, uninteresting, and not at all memorable. It had basically no emotional impact and since the entire point of TID seems to be making everyone sob and scream it flopped there. 

The thing that worries me about a tv adaption is that animated/live action book adaptions tend to cut out things. Usually it’s side plots/characters/scenes/moments, and the one of the things that makes TID good is those little moments.

The manga for example, basically kept the bare bones of Will and Tessa, and man, did I hate it.

There’s a lot of layers to different parts of TID and to adapt that someone is going to have to genuinely care about the source material, and to be honest, CC doesn’t even seem to care to much about TID. 

I would go for either a live action or animated (animated would make for better visuals likely, since special effects are you know, hard. And expensive) 

I think the entire thing would hinge on a creative team that really cares about the characters, and really cares to do the books justice.

In conclusion, a good adaption would make my life, and a bad adaption might just kill me.

i got a little bit of inspirational stuff for y’all lol.

just because you started off on the wrong foot does not mean you can’t fix your step.

thinking a lot lately about the desire many of us tend to feel for validation through community that not only respects but reflects us, and the way normie* men have been generally been happier to let me join them in their gender than normie women have been to let me leave it (them)...

[charrfie]

Oh I meant the ones in your discomforts!!! Sorry I should’ve specified. I just thought it may come off as intrusive / rude, I’m glad it didn’t bc it wasn’t supposed to

Thank you for specifying!! <3 I can answer, but with some I may not be able to fully go into detail for personal reasons. Since you in your first ask you specified fandoms, thats all I'll be covering!

Without getting into the details, ow*ri no ser*ph and m*stic m*ssanger (censoring not bc the name itself is a trigger but bc I don't want my blog showing up under ANY searches with this) are things my abuser really loved so I can't really bear the thought of them or see pictures from them :^/ not that there's anything wrong with either series (I don't... think? I was never too interested in finding out ANYTHING about them really) but I prefer people to not interact who enjoy them for that reason. Just. For distance's sake (distance between me and the source material that is)

Alien 9 emulators is a different story though! As you may know, I'm a HUGE fan of alien 9???? Like?? Duh??? I feel like it's all I use tumblr for sometimes, just for alien 9 content. That being said alien 9 emulators Fucking Sucks. Basically any alien 9 content that isnt the original 3 volumes/the anime sucks (like alien 9 next, etc). I wrote nearly a whole essay about it one time trying to explain my viewpoints on it so it's hard to simplify my reasons but I'll try (tw csa but I'll do my best to skim over it). Basically: I feel like it's undeniable that a large part of alien 9's story is about children becoming victims of whatever kind of abuse the adults in the series perpetuate. This *includes* csa. That is an INCREDIBLY prominent aspect in the story, and while it is most obvious in kasumi's arcs, it's present in every arc, every character. Granted, it is ALWAYS through metaphor. Leaving you to put the pieces together, as most of the series does even with other topics. So, to quote my essay: "Emulators takes all of those intricately and gently crafted metaphorical plot points and turns them on their heads." The victims break from the healing they were doing, continue the cycle to become abusers themselves, and (though a petty gripe compared to the rest) it retcons SO many things to make way for these twisted fucking metaphors and careless storytelling??? It doesn't even fucking BOTHER to provide some sorry excuse as to WHY it is doing this. THAT is why it's on that list in my carrd

Tldr: alien 9 emulators is horribly disrespectful (and arguably actively harmful) to the very people it originally wished to uplift

[elytrafemme]

ok i need to be very kind to myself and acknowledge that i had a good day regardless of how it ended but i did find out that my other best friend (no.4) is asking someone out meaning nearly every person i know is either at that stage or in a relationship and i’m wondering at what point do i start ramping up my insanity in hopes of finding any kind of love

[wonboos]

i'd love to check out your ocs if they're really 30+

as much as this is honestly my dream ask, you truly would not, anon! i can get so so unbelievably annoying about my made up people as a grown man, it's honestly embarrassing. also they're genuinely just some guys that my partner and i came up with on a random afternoon a couple years ago (which resulted in, really, way too many aus), so to an average tumblr oc enthusiast they would most likely seem boring. thank you for asking though, it's very sweet!
