Hi this is the blog of one adorable Lalafell Summoner, named Nilil Nil on Balmung! Other than FFXIV/catgirls online, this is also a personal space to drop mental health bombs (DID, dysthymia), or general reblogging. -----The body this blog belongs to is that of a hella queer white trans woman.
-----Please send me more Eevees
You know what? Give me more developed Hufflepuff headcanons. Something in addition to the hyper, cutesy, peace-making, biggest-flaw-is-being-a-pushover stereotype.
Give me Hufflepuffs who get in trouble with Snape for not being able to keep quiet about his bullying in class because it’s not right. Give me Hufflepuffs who have the bad habit of staying up for 3 nights straight and are crabby because they’re working too hard. Give me Hufflepuffs who haul off and punch someone’s who’s been harassing them for weeks and their “infinite patience” just ran out. Give me Hufflepuffs who get into heated arguments with other Hufflepuffs because telling someone that they don’t belong here because they are too ‘something’ is directly against Helga’s principles.
Give me Hufflepuffs who’s unconditional acceptance is paired with a unerring protective rage when their friends are threatened.
it’s always kind of funny to see think pieces about how undertale “came out of nowhere” just because toby fox wasn’t really known in the game industry before its release because, like, it wasn’t just luck. it also wasn’t JUST about undertale’s quality or the fact that it speaks to people, although that’s certainly a big part of it
the fact is, toby worked on some of the most well known earthbound romhacks, and then did some of the most popular music for homestuck, which gave him a sizable following on tumblr and twitter. but just because game journos had never heard of him, they think he was some sort of nobody. like he successfully ran a kickstarter for undertale back in 2013 that made over ten times what he was asking for, and people loved the demo that came out around that time
it’s the classic pattern that so many artists follow these days. work on fanart, maybe contribute to other peoples’ projects. then, once you’re comfortable with your skills and you have an audience, show that audience something original
i saw a really bad think piece about how “undertale is proof that less advertisement is sometimes better” when like? just because toby didn’t run ads on ign doesn’t mean nobody’d heard of it before release. he already had an audience of people who were looking forward to the game, and when the game came out and it ended up being really good, we told all our friends it was good. undertale’s success isn’t a mystery
anime has so much potential as a medium of telling cool stories but so much of it is wasted on animating the same shot of a dude tripping and landing on a girl’s boobs over and over
