#Are these boring enough

[vio1315]

ask game! give 5 boring facts about yourself and pass it on!

HMM! I live a very mundane life, so let's see

Sometimes when I eat a form of cauliflower, I will start crying because of how good it is. Roasted cauliflower/broccoli with eggs is a personal favorite. (Adding some extra crispy spam? Even better)

2. Every year I rewatch Marble Hornets and invite someone who hasn't seen it before to join me. Every year someone agrees. Even one time a stranger??? I'm not sure why this keeps working because it's 9 hours long but I'm up to maybe 4 years in a row now? (Maybe more?)

3. Recently got off my heartburn meds (yay) though I'm annoyed I was put on them in my teens. You're not meant to take them long term and they will impact your bones etc etc. So I'm not pleased I was put on them daily during a time of my life where I would be having bones develop etc. I still have GERD and all, but it's much better than it has been in the past

4. When I was a kid I wanted to be a writer, but realized I wasn't really ever writing in my free time (vs class assignment) so this was a problem. I found RP a bit after and devoted all my time to it and puzzled a bit on how I might tell these stories etc.

During this internal debate, I discovered a fan animation for Zelda (Zelda UO, the very first one) and got so extremely inspired that I wanted to tell my stories right away!

I realized that I could choose art or writing and that the downside is art takes longer but will show people more exactly what you imagine, while writing is faster but less precise. I decided in that moment I wanted to show things more exactly and started learning how to draw from there.

I actually wanted to try out animation but could never get the Flash trial to work on my computer so settled on drawing. I had really not drawn before that point much at all and was never an art kid so it's kind of funny.

5. Even though my emotional state is much harder to activate vs others, I'm the only one I know who has cried from the sheer beauty of art (It was Neopets)

Guys send them to me or tag me in the reblogs or comment sections of your favorite text posts! So I know which ones you want to see drawn!

In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

Bruce being just as guilty of introducing Jason to people like he is but a small little guy.

Bruce at gala supporting youth literary comprehension programs: Have you met my son Jason? As stubborn as kids can be I managed to get him to attend.

Beneficiary: oh that’s wonderful! Does your son enjoy literature?

Bruce: oh absolutely! That’s what convinced him to even come! He has so many respectable hobbies for someone his age. Kids these days rarely find value in the classics but not Jason! Honestly he reads more, and more in depth, than I do! He’s a little mechanic too! When I first saw him he was trying to take the tires off my car with a lug wrench that was bigger than him! It was quite a sight and a rather unconventional way to meet your son but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Beneficiary, blinks as they try to process all the proud dad info: …well that’s lovely, we have some activities for the children of the donors so that none of them get too bored!

Bruce: that’s great! I’ll let him know. Jason, can you come here for a moment?

A very tall, wide, and muscular man turns around and raises an eyebrow.

What a coincidence, that dude must also be named Jason.

He walks towards them

Jason: what do you want old man?

What

Bruce: there are activities at that table if you’re bored.

Huh

Jason: thanks for the memo but I’m not exactly at coloring book age anymore remember?

Bruce: I suppose you’re right :(

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.

like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid
