Poetry & Prose - Web Weaving Resource

To return to the main Web Weaving Resources post, click here.

Poetry:

really really really trying - Well for one Max Lavergne invented Spiders Georg. But in addition to constant, high-quality shitposts he's also an excellent poet. Go read The Best Thing About A Poem.

geryone - One of the most prolific readers and posters of recently published poetry on here. Consistent formatting style and excellent eye for standalone lines that hit.

luthienne - Some great webwaves (called compilations), as well as a lot of poetry excerpts.

firstfullmoon - Pretty much every post on this blog would be a good addition to some webweave. Just a good blog to follow.

Times Haiku - No longer posting since 2017, but worth digging through their backlog for gems.

Prose:

Longreads - Essays that you have to Sit Down To Read that are also Very Worth taking the time to sit down to read.

callisteios - Creator of several extremely-weaveable Uquizzes, and generally just one of those Good Blogs to follow if you want a mix of the kind of high- and low-brow writing & art & memes that make for good webweaves.

cemetarything | James Loveless - If you somehow don't already, follow him. First off, best taste in reblogs you'll ever find. Secondly, an extremely eloquent and funny person. You DO have to be cool with talking about cannibalism.

ELODIEUNDERGLASS - Just a lot of really good (and often funny) personal writing, and good reblogs of writing/art. Like all these Prose recs, I think they are less 'blogs you Consult when making a webweave' and more 'people you follow and occasionally notice & save a Good Tidbit from'.

gallusrostromegalus - Ditto Elodie. Also go read their Family Lore tag.

Writing in 2024

Every year, I try and do a blog post about the things I've written in 2024, how I felt about it all, and if I learned anything. This year, it really didn't feel like I had done a lot until I went back and looked at my AO3. Then I realized I had actually written a ton, a whopping 80,000 words worth.

So beneath the cut, I'll break this down into three categories: Zines, #RR, and FTH.

Zines

Some of these fics I wrote in 2023, but I didn't post them until 2024 due to exclusivity rules, but I'll include them in this list. After the rush of Season 2, I signed up for as many zines as possible. I had the fever, and the only cure was more zines! I also had some insane executive functioning fairy (who would abandon me by summer), who inspired me to write, edit, and submit everything on time. Wild.

Wartime Correspondence, 1.5k, Teen, for Pin Me Up Vol. 2 - featuring pin-up Aziraphale!

In Good Faith, 1.7k ,Teen, for Twin Passions: A Bildad Zine - a missing scene from Job

The Thing With Feathers, 2.6k, Gen, for In Love With My Car Vol. 2 - a fic about reconciling post-S2 ft. wonderful artwork by Cat_Clawz

Best In Show, 1.4k Gen, for It Began In A Garden - where an angel and a demon enjoy retirement in the South Downs, ft incredible artwork by eglantine-c

and my favorite because Warlock lives forever rent free in my head

Falling Upwards, 2.1k, Gen, for Above Below and the Common Ground - an epistolary fic about Warlock and Crowley reuniting post-S2.

#RAINBOWROAD

Simultaneously, I was posting the final installment of #RR, 0-60 in 3.5, 49k, Teen.

I had intended to end the series with Fools Rush In, so I treat all of this as bonus content. Think of it like DVD extras. There's a very loose plot. It's basically me shitposting right up until the end. I had so much fun sharing this with everyone!

I also need to shout out @literarion, who just finished posting the #RR podfic. She has been working on it for over a year, and posting literally took all year from January to December. She never said it, but I did worry she wanted to murder me when I said I had written another part.

Lit, in my opinion, is the shining example of the talent, creativity, and generosity in the Good Omens fandom. The fact that she creates these podfics that are so high quality and makes fic accessible for more people is really fucking cool. It was also incredible for me to hear my words sound like sports broadcasts and TV interviews.

I've written a lot about how overwhelmed I get when I think about all the people who have contributed to the #RR universe, but I do want to say it again. Thank you.

Fandom Trumps Hate

Then, right around the time I wrapped up all the zines and #RR, I signed up for Fandom Trumps Hate. This was my first year doing it, and it was such a fun experience! I am floored by the generosity of people. It was also incredible to take direct prompts and brainstorm ideas with everyone. None of the final products were at all like I imagined in the beginning, but I think that goes to show the liquid nature of writing sometimes.

That said, when I started FTH, I was coming off the high of finishing all these other projects and feeling extremely productive. This summer, however, I was hit with the most severe, longest bout of depression I've experienced. I came off of several medications. My dog got cancer. Every ounce of energy I had I channeled into existing. I would have given anything to have the ability to write, but I couldn't.

Just when I finally got my feet under myself, I was offered a promotion. It was October. My boss took me out for coffee one random Monday and offered me a position I had been applying for, for years. I was excited and also stressed out because I knew I would be taking on a lot of responsibility at a time when my life felt very tenuous, but it was also an oportunity I could not miss.

FTH was heavy on my mind. In true ADHD fashion, the stress of starting a new job kicked my butt into gear. I had been slowly plugging along on all the fics over the summer but ended up reworking every single one of them. And each fic was wildly different from the other.

This also gave me the opportunity to explore a couple of ideas I had turning over in my brain for quite some time.

Let it run, 7.6k, Explicit, for Ambra - body shop/mechanic AU. Ambra wanted something hyper specific, and y'all know I love infodumping about cars. This was a really fun way to show the mundane side of cars because truthfully, I do tire writing about Ferraris and McLarens. This is so closely aligned to the life I live.

We know what we are but not what we may be, 5.3k Gen, for lynn99999 - an outsider POV fic from the perspective of Lesley, the International Express Man, who has to deliver a message to Heaven. Man, admittedly, this was both the hardest and easiest fic to write. The prompt was about a lost package inspired by lynn99999 #RR's books getting lost in the mail. I had so many ideas that I had started and scrapped, but once I landed on the final premise, I had the rough draft done in two days. Humans interacting with the Ineffables is my favorite canon trope.

Might have gone, but what for?, 5k, Explicit, for joyeousness - a 1941 fic. Hey, do you want something sad??? Many years ago, I decided I would only write happy endings (and happy endings *wink wink wink*) even though I love writing angst. So for that reason, I think this story is incomplete because it ends on an unresolved note. After S2, I had this idea churning in my brain on repeat. When I ran it by joyeousness, and they gave me the green light, I was excited to get it down in words. And yep, it ended up being as brutal as I imagined.

Under Pressure, 6.5k, Teen, for She_Jedi - in which Remy (from SDU) and Warlock (from Ground Control) meet. Let's be real. I know it says this is a gift for She_Jedi, but they really did me a favor by letting me write this. Originally, they wanted a continuation of Ground Control, and I had been sitting on this idea of having Remy, an OC from another Good Omens fic I wrote, meet Warlock. I wrote these two series around the same time, and clearly I was going through something since I wrote so much about fucking postgraduate education. I was in my pre-F1 / post-grad-school-traumatized-professional phase. So it was really fun to revisit this when both Remy and Warlock were a little older. I mean, yeah, writing is just one big projection, and I'm staring in the mirror.

2025

My goal next year is honestly to read more. I usually do a companion post with all the fic I've read through the year, and I rarely read anything in 2024. I hate that. A lot. So if you have a fic you desperately want to share, please reblog or drop a comment!

I also potentially have a silly little #RR fic in the pipeline. Maybe.

Todays rip: 16/08/2023

Fell From a High Place (Reprise)

Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaCraft - Volume Alpha Version & Beta Mix

Ripped by Madinstance, Sarvéproductions

Requested by @pumpkineater6913! (YouTube)

The beauty of the Minecraft Volume Alpha and Volume Beta day is one that really still sits with me, even after having covered it before with M-O-O-G City. As described back then, its a brilliant combination of Minecraft being such a collectively nostalgic video game for people in the gaming community, whilst also being filled with emotionally resonant music. The event was filled with a lot of extremely interesting and impressive renditions and takes on C418's music, yet it feels as it Fell From a High Place (Reprise) was what it was all culminating to. I think its fair to claim that, if Minecraft sits at first place as the most universally loved and fondly, nostalgically remembered piece of art in video game history, then Undertale can't be far off from the Top 5.

What Madinstance and Sarvéproductions have made here, as a dynamic duo of expert arrangers, is recreate the entirety of Alpha - Minecraft's credits theme of over 8 minutes - into the style of several themes from the Undertale soundtrack. With Alpha itself already being somewhat of a medley of previous songs from the Minecraft soundtrack, it turns the rip into an absolute explosion of emotional impact, melancholic yet always moving from one sound and one melody to the next. Many of the channel's more emotionally resonant moments are in videos with added visuals, yet here it feels ever so perfect to be left purely to audio. Everyone's experience with Minecraft was different, everyone's experience with Undertale was different, everyone's experience with video game music was different - you may have only experienced these games through their soundtracks, or only experienced bits and pieces of the games. Lest you've never made contact with either game represented here, the rip is emotionally resonant to a degree where its bound to strike a chord with you eventually.

The escalation in rips is oft something I praise for its ability to elevate a joke, but its of course ridiculous to act as if that's all it can be used for. SiIvaGunner, too, is also not a channel here purely to enjoy jokes with a community of shitposters - its a celebration of the video games we love, and the culture of creative minds they've spawned. And though Season 6 was filled with much sorrow, its a season that inspired us all to keep pushing through no matter what.

Just like with Undertale and Minecraft, everyone's experience with SiIvaGunner is different. And there's so much beauty in that fact, that this rip has touched so many hearts whilst having passed so many others by. Its nowhere close to the most viewed video on the channel, which means there's many people who're yet to hear Fell From a High Place (Reprise) for the first time - and likewise, that there are several hundred rips of a similarly unbelievable quality out there that I'm still unaware of.

[cescalr]

high guardian spice is to me what sword art online is also to me. better in the abridged version. though for wildly different reasons

[tsuki-sennin]

Magus: Okay, I think I got this one: Pretty one, stupid one, one with weird powers.

Slash: Oi! I appreciate that! But I'd say I'm more handsome than pretty.

Flea: And my powers are not that weird!

Ozzie: *unearthly screech of anger*

Magus: ...Okay, I take it back, you're all stupid.

[simpforcatra]

Hey! I just finished watching she-ra for the first time, and I was wondering if you could recommend some blogs and/or fic writers to me?

first off, congrats. i hope you enjoy the extreme gayness that has now entered your life. just don't let it consume you.

second, oooooo boy do i have a bunch. sorry this list took me forever to compile. i literally sat on this for like a month and compiling the list took me maybe 30 minutes 🗿

tumblr users

radsity - art, really fucking pretty art

@swearyshera - she-ra abridged. its good. you probably already follow them.

@turtle-ly - good shitposts. has a lot of content and has 300+ shitposts stocked up, so expect content for a long time

kaereth - art, lots of older content but still doing shera stuff occasionally from kofis

miledibuja - art, comics, standalones, my profile pic :)

@catradoratwtgoodies - posts good content from twitter and or reblogs spop stuff

@ao3feed-catradora - literally just a bot that posts new fics from ao3 under the catradora tag. but ive found a lot of fics from it so its here

@incorrect-quotes-from-she-ra - i am gonna plug my best friend on tumblr here, leo, who has amassed a large amount of funny incorrect quotes for our favorite gang.

wingedcorgi - pretty artstyle and has published several great post/pre/during-canon fics

musenilla - has branched out to other content but still makes spop stuff, great comics and standalones with a cute art style

@nonbinarychaoticstupid - reblogs a shit ton of spop stuff. among other content. but they are still a good source of spop content. lol.

ao3 writers

laurenjauregui - wrote the love simon au. funny, well written, great fics and usually releases chapters consistently. currently releasing scream au

ceruleanstorm - their world building, characterization, and writing style is AMAZING! the upper west side series is 400k+ words and i feel like its half that.

petty_labelle - its always a good day when a new petty labelle fic drops. some of the funniest catradora stories ive ever read

driluth - has written several fics based on show aus

i was going to include twitter users. but i am too lazy to go through those. probably the most important user ive seen in the fandom is el, @ okokcooool, their art is very prolific, pretty, and well followed for good reason. literally their art gives half the fandom life. if u have it, you can check my twitter out @ abssimpforcatra and take a look through my following list for some people to follow

hope this list is good! tried to get the best of what i could remember. a lot of the tumblr users are on twitter, and a lot of the ao3 writters can be found on tumblr/twitter at similar names. like petty_labelle can be found on twit @ pettiestlabelle. their socials will be in fic notes a lot. 🤷‍♂️

[sekritjay]

Since everyone on tumblr has yet again jumped the gun on the skeltel shit I might as well do my part - Young Scrolls is pretty well known in the Elder Scrolls community for doing extremely high quality music videos by modding and recording various ES games and then performing the lyrics by splicing and tuning actual dialogue from the games themselves, giving birth to famous ES memes such as Gucci Sheogorath and Dagothwave Truly high effort shitposting

[spetura]

don’t reblog my funney little comic and tag it with #shitpost. What is wrong with you. my posts are deadly serious and also extremely high quality. now tell me if montero is spamton or not

Abyssal Speedmapping Session #10

By various authors led by Obsidian

10 maps

2014

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/a-c/abyspe10

MAP01: Dirge of the Blighted Ovum by Obsidian

The introduction to this new project throws us into a small, compact map that seems reminiscent of fireblu but in a more attractive way. The glitched visuals and the use of two-color textures remind me of Tron, creating an interesting environment that matches the square box architecture. With only a handful of monsters, the action unfolds quickly in effective single combat that works to keep us on our toes. With no secrets or further exploration, this map works effectively without needing to be extremely complex or bombastic. A solid example of a good introduction. 3/5

MAP02: Tyson Fun! by Darsycho

As short as the previous one but with a simpler style and more adaptable to the eyes. This is a classic map in terms of structure and design, without major revolutions or anything special to offer. The title indicates that it is designed for Tyson, but if we bring the shotgun from the previous map it is slightly faster, although doing it in Tyson is balanced enough to offer a good minute of fun. The combat is simple and the layout understandable, go left and then right and that's it, you have completed it. It's not bad, but it's not great either, it's just average. 3/5

MAP03: Jimmy Has An Essay Due Tomorrow But Instead He's Speedmapping With These Assholes by Jimmy

Jimmy is considered a master of the art of speedmapping, and here we can see that even in his early days he was able to handle the concept in a theatrical and fantastic way. This is a medium sized map with a more practical and classic design that shows us an interesting facet of the project. With simple but attractive visuals and a decent queue of enemies, the map follows half-traditional routes that create an environment quite attractive and entertaining to play, as well as slightly challenging at times. While my enjoyment was being quite high due to the map's great length, it is interrupted with a stupid exit at the end of the map that I still don't understand exactly how to overcome. A dozen Archies on top of you and I don't know what the fuck to do. Mind you, this is a common thing in A.S.S. so, anyway, how's that? 3/5

MAP04: Nazi Tittyflake Tornadoes by Unholypimpin

Such an extravagant title brings with it a map that is relatively simple. This map has an air of shovelware shit, and for some reason that gives me a charismatic charm that makes me feel graceful. It's a simple, straightforward map with no major problems or bugs. On the outside it looks pretty simple but as we go deeper we find some pretty hellish and rusty textures that remind me of Silent Hill, as well as a bunch of blue Nazi sergeants ready to attack us and a few more surprises involving Cyberdemons and a few little spiders. Not bad, very enjoyable and for some reason I can't get out of my head that feeling that I just played a hidden gem of shovelware from the 90s. That's good in my book! 3/5

MAP05: Cookies 'n Wine by ClonedPickle

Fairly square and open in the beginning, presenting a simple layout with bland combat without much complication. The map then changes to cave-like interiors and launches us into an adventure of hunting spectres and so on. It ends with an obligatory death-exit, in my opinion, and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. This is a fairly simple map that is not complicated at all and follows a somewhat boring system at times. With quite simple visuals and without much work, it is probably one of the most mediocre of the WAD. 2/5

MAP06: Spatterblue 2: Mosh Galosh by Alfonzo

It is hard to believe that this map is a speedmap, but the truth is that it contains certain features that give it that air, but above all, it overcomes the restrictions and works perfectly well under its limits. The blue visual theme and the compact but excellent way of creating a well designed circuit layout make this a very enjoyable and challenging map under its own justifiable terms. It is fast, intense and has a good flow with no bugs or major problems. Even the little secrets feel like they blend perfectly under the established system. It may be quite small, but it's so much fun that it's among my favorites of this session. Pretty cool and done as it should be. Speedmapping done right! 4/5

MAP07: Industrial Butt Scream by Rottking

If you like Quake, this map will give you a good game. Quite brown, enclosed and with an industrial feel. Designed with a system based on a block layout, the map is simple in its flow but has enough touches to make it entertaining, attractive and fun in gameplay and action. Without major complications and with a basic closed layout. Not bad at all! 3/5

MAP08: Alfonzo and Gary Oldman Visit The Museum of Social Decay! by Tarnsman

Oh oh, I hope you like fireblu and pain. This map has a style that reminds me of the first one, but it opens its limits and shows us a more bloody and intense frontier. Plenty of chaingunners serve as the main appetizer, but things get even fatter when we're thrown into an insane room with dozens of archies and a Cyberdemon for company. With a super simple and compact layout, the real juice of this map is centered on its atrocious yet cool gameplay. A bit bland visually at times but interesting and engaging. 3/5

MAP09: Avoid by General Rainbow Bacon

More blue and red but in a style that reminds me of a dungeon. This dark map establishes an eerie atmosphere thanks to the silence and anticipation, but ends up being a traditional map with a few explosive surprises near the end. Simple, without much to offer and quite short. Not bad, not good. Decent. 3/5

MAP10: Half-Assed Fun! by Darsycho

The title gives us an idea of the type of map it is. Half finished, half fucked up, but decent by its own standards. Dark and full of Spectres, the real fun of the map lies in the BFG spamming and the pile of monsters we have to kill. Difficulty is almost nil, aside from the first room that features some fun combat, after that it's just point-and-click or fire-and-forget. I guess it's entertaining enough under ASS's own characteristics to say it does a good enough job. But it's meh in my opinion. 2/5

End.

Overall:

» Ah, speedmapping. We all love it, we all hate it. An art as old as the history of WADs itself, and one that has proven to bring with it both the worst mappers in history and the best. It's a difficult technique to acquire, but one that with time and practice can yield fantastic results. The very idea of limiting ourselves to a certain set time can be detrimental at worst, but at best, when we give the tools to an artist looking for a challenge, masterful work can result. Here we have a group of illustrious intellectuals who have come together to form a cooperation that is as unique as it is discordant. One where love and hate mix to enjoy one single thing: creating maps. Abyssal Speedmapping Sessions is all about speed, asses and Alfonzo. So, let's dive into this hole and see how deep it goes. After a somewhat long break from the first sessions, I suddenly had the urge to return to this iconic series that from time to time hides more than a few gems, or a total disaster. Luckily, session #10 seems to be a good balance between shitposting and good map design. Very entertaining maps, indeed! Mappers had the option to choose 3 textures from: Erratic Texture Pack 1, DrDoctor Texture Pack and Marcaek's Super Special FIREBLU Ensemble! So most of the maps are quite simple to look at but contain enough touches to establish a good visual rhythm. Considering there are no stock textures, that alone gives it some appeal. Especially striking are the fireblu textures, which create a rather techy atmosphere that reminds me of the original Tron movie. A certain visual touch, from a couple of colors that manage to create enough depth to establish a sense of place. Not all maps are entirely blue with red, and there are a few surprises that turn the color around and bring attractive designs. Quake-inspired maps and some that look like sapphires to boot. Undoubtedly, even if most of the maps have a rather simple and plain layout, no map is truly ugly and some even stand out for having a solid visual quality. The sessions stand out for being crazy gameplay as well. It's often hard to balance something if you have a time limit, especially if it's only two hours, but the guys here know what they're doing... mostly. Most of the maps throw you right into the action, trying to create a tactical feeling that tells you how to move and at the same time how to fight. The maps aren't fucking difficult but maintain a solid and balanced challenge that welcomes all types of players, in my opinion. While certain combat can feel a bit simple at times, overall, each map brings something different to the table and creates a nice variety of treats to try.

[sparring-spirals]

So, a couple of things:

- my apologies for the sporadic-bursts-of-posts-every-few-days erratic posting. I am, as the youths say, Extremely Discombobulated as of late. Once i remember how to be a Functional Human Shape again my posting will resume its more normal rhythm. Probably. (Aka, bursts of posts more or less daily, and also more OG meta and suuuuuuuuuuuper high quality shitposts, yep.)

- Vaguely related, while looking through my drafts for something I realized that in the past week or so i have somehow passed 1,000 followers! (????) Which is. Absolutely WILD to me. whwhwhat. im so sorry to new followers who have only received my liveblogging and then EXTREMELY sporadic reblogs. its not ALWAYS like this. ... usually there are more low quality shitposts involved. To my older followers, well. you’re still here, so i assume you’ve gotten accustomed to it.

- on more serious note though, i am VERY flattered so many of you have allowed me to take up your dash space, however briefly. :’D <3 I hope to bring many, many more shitposts and deeply emotional and incoherent metas and another 5 iterations of “fjord bad at nature haha” to you all in the future.

- I hope everyone is doing as best they can, and here is to the sentiment that your next year will be better than your current one- in whatever form that might take.

[bluinary]

gag anime that you need to watch maybe

 hi hello my name is juli and i will now gently guide ur attention to some top-notch shows, please pay attanetion

(this list is for people who don’t watch much anime or who are new to it. if ur a fucken weeb youve probably seen it all. dont @ me i want to help the kids)

ONE PUNCH MAN (the obvious 1st choice lol)

Genre: Action/ Shounen

Expectation: OP protagonist with riveting backstory fights to become the strongest hero, makes many friends along the way who recognize his talents and pure heart, big bad scary villains make him stronger

Reality: OP protagonist is already the strongest hero. His backstory? After fighting a lobster-man with nipples drawn on him with a Sharpie, Saitama decides to do a workout routine every day, and somehow ends up becoming the most powerful known being in the universe. His main issue is that now, he literally can take down any villain with a single punch, and he’s very bored of it.

Best Qualities: Animation is bomb, music is dope, humor is funnie, and Best Boy is a man whose superpower is riding a bicycle. Also Saitama egg head

If you were in a coma for all of 2015, this is the main thing u missed. Moving on.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Monthly Girls’ Nozaki)

Genre: Romance/ Comedy/ Slice of Life

Expectation: Smol shoujo protag girl grows closer to her oblivious crush through a fated, if awkward, incident which reveals an embarrassing secret that has to be kept at all costs. Through one another they gain more quirky friends, help each other grow, and, eventually, the male lead realizes that what he needs has been beside him all along.

Reality: The crush writes romance manga, and that is literally all the man cares about. It’s not a secret, but when he told people they didn’t believe him. Nozaki and Sakura grow closer, but only because he confuses her confession with a request to be his Beta. They gain quirky friends through one another, but there is zero character development throughout the entire fucking cast. Every episode is run by Idiot Plot. All the characters share a singular brain cell. There’s a tall butch lady turning every girl in the school gay. Please watch

Best Quali-teas: Everyone is baby, lots of gay shenanigans, and toxic masculinity does not exist, the OP is pretty nice, too

I literally heard about this damn show, like, two months ago. This shit was released circa 2015. Pleeze watch

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. / Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan

Genre: Shounen/ Supernatural/ Fucking Everything tbh

Expectation: Slice-of-life supernatural where protag has psychic powers, albeit limited ones, and has to keep them a secret at all costs for fear of his safety. He has a few friends he loves and cherishes, and at least two girls who are in love with him that he has to choose between-- all of which are people he wants to protect from his double-life.

Reality: Kusuo is very aware that he is the protagonist of an anime, and he does not want to be. Born with pink hair? He rewrites the human genome to make colored hair normal. End of the world looming? He just keeps rewinding time so he doesn’t have to deal with it. Harem situation? He actively uses his powers to avoid all love interests at all times (see the above). The plot of each episode is him trying to stop the plot as quickly as possible without killing anyone. The main issue is that everyone around him is either dumb or just generally attractive to plot-driving circumstances, and they all, for some reason, want him to be in on their adventures.

Best Qualities: Heavy “me and the boys” energy, plenty of Idiot Plot, so funny that my 47yo mom who hates anime admitted that it’s funny, meta as fuck, occasionally sweet scenes, equally good dub and sub, Saiki is babie

The fandom for this shit is like. Nonexistent. Apparently it came out the same season as Mob Psycho 100, so that might be why. I almost didn’t watch it, but I got bored and it turned out to be a serious gem. Go watch if ur having a bad day, it will make u cry laughing

Sakamoto Desu Ga/ Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto

Genre: Slice of life/ Comedy

Expectation: God I don’t even know. I’d say a typical slice of life where the quiet kid is bullied but makes friends, there’s a love triangle as they grow up together through high school, yadda yadda, but look at this dude. I can’t imagine him being anything other than what he is-- a legend.

Reality: The entire show is just a question of how extra one man can be, and how well he can pull it off. Sakamoto is an “average” high school senior (in the sense that he has no supernatural abilities), but he’s....far more than that. He’s Sebastian Michaelis if he’d never been a demon. Everything always works out for him in the most ridiculous of ways-- he’s just that good. He makes a McDonald’s uniform look like Prada. He’s so smooth his bully ends up having a crush on him (and yes, it is a gay crush. no heteros in this show). 

Best Qualities: lots of homo content. the side characters, inspired by Sakamoto’s grace, all become better people, and you root for them. The circumstances are always average, but the presentation is fucking riveting. Watch to send ur depression into remission.

Another one no one talks about????? U all were so busy with ur broku no hero macadamias and ur Nartoes that you slept on this. Now’s the time to take back what was lost. Love yourself and binge this shit. 

Nichijou/ My Ordinary Life

Genre: Slice of Life/ Comedy

Expectation: Cute girls do cute, girly things and have fun with Their Close Good Friends (TM).

Reality: Cute girls get into very bizarre situations with extremely manic energies. Sometimes, the situations are normal, but the girls react in a bizarre, manic fashion. It will make you alarm-laugh.

Best Qualities: Adorable art style, little continuity, relatable as fuck

A nice little watch if you’re bored. I think the eps are on YouTube.

Pop Team Epic/ Poputepepiku

Genre: Only God Knows

Expectation: Probably a cutesy 4koma-type thing with 2 schoolgirls having shenanigans.

Reality: A regular acid trip with lesbian icons Popuko and Pipimi who are not schoolgirls, but gods. Like if Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress were turned into omnipotent anime icons. Watch at your own risk.

Best Qualities: Lots of unexpected parodies and references amongst a shitpost of a show. The OP is a bop. Popuko terrifies me, but also empowers me as a young woman because she will not hesitate to kill a bitch. She and Pipimi love each other a whole lot, so it is LGBTQ content, which is always a plus. 

I’m sure you’ve seen this one floating around. It will make you feel fear, and then laugh. Now, finally...

Ouran Highschool Host Club

Genre: Romance/ Comedy

Expectation: The protagonist is a girl who is mistaken for a boy and must be the servant of six rich, handsome young men, all of which are in love with her, and her secret must be kept at all costs. A reverse harem anime with plenty of fanservice.

Reality: Haruhi is a genderfluid queen who doesn’t give a fuck what others think she is. Because she broke a Conveniently-Placed Vase and is relatably poor, she has to pay off her debt by being a host herself-- which means male-presenting when flirting with her female classmates to make her dough. The six rich, handsome young men all share three brain cells, and most of those cells go to the character who has one line per episode (usually, it’s “Yeah”. I hope that VA got paid well). The only love interest-- the “leader” and most popular of the six men-- is so dead-set on their club being his Found Family, he confuses his romantic feelings for Haruhi with paternal ones. This is obvious to everyone but him. He never gets the brain cells. 

Best Qualities: Trans characters!! Lesbians!! Extreme “me and the boys” energy, except they’re all rich, so shenanigans skyrocket. Many 4th wall breaks. The most powerful Host looks like he’s 5. Any “fanservice” is never played straight. Takes the Found Family trope to a whole new level. Nice Parks & Rec-quality balance between hysterical and sweet. Everyone is in drag at some point.

I know all of us senior citizens grew up on this shit, but you younguns need to watch the classics to appreciate the newfangled stuff. I recommend watching when you’re in a cheesy rom-com mood. 

Honorable Mentions:

I can’t count these as gag anime, but they’re still ridiculously funny.

Just want to say that this is some high quality shitpost you are pumping, keep the good work coming! on a more serious note, while looking at the wiki is the more convenient way of gathering information on the lore, did you ever played the game yourself? just curious, I know that they definitively aren't for everyone (if you didn't, you may be interested in checking the soundtrack and stuff)

i’m like… extremely bad at video games. the only games i can play are ones where i can get distracted and do something else for three hours and then come back and everything is fine even if i forgot to pause and also i have kinda dodgy hand/eye coordination

so unfortunately i think if i tried actually playing touhou i would Literally Die :(

i’m listening to the soundtracks tho, don’t worry~!

also thank u for the appreciation. i’ll do my best to continue making awful posts

[iwona-oul]

LFRP/LFC - Iwona Oul (Crystal)

full name. Iwona Oul

pronunciation. ee-VON-na OOL

nicknames. Too many to count. Various takes on the color of her hair tend to be the most commonly given—Red or Cherry as examples—but as long as it's not a derogatory or patronizing moniker, she'll likely take to it just fine.

height. Six fulms, four ilms—give or take.

age. Youthful appearing.

zodiac. Gemini.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

hair colour. Titian red. Sunbleached in some parts.

eye colour. Coral.

skin tone. Muted olive.

body type. Lissome.

accent. Standard Viis inflection.

dominant hand. Left.

posture. Lazy grace.

scars. A faint and rather small Lichtenberg figure crawls up her left index finger, terminating at the metacarpophalangeal joint. It’s slightly raised compared to the skin around it.

tattoos. None.

most noticeable features. Her hair, probably, or the ears sprouting from the top—on the longer side of above-average, they likely come across as even more lengthy owing to her tall stature.

CHILDHOOD.

place of birth. The wilds of Rak'tika Greatwood.

hometown. Formerly, a country hamlet outside of Voeburt proper. Now, really nowhere. 

birth weight/height. A bit below average owing to premature delivery.

manner of birth. Natural.

first words. Mine.

siblings. A fraternal twin, deceased.

parents. Deceased.

parental involvement. Orphaned at a young age.

ADULT LIFE

occupation. Errant alchemist. Sometimes floriculturist. Mostly a wanderer, but it doesn’t pay the bills.

current residence. Itinerant.

close friends. None.

relationship status. Single, and quite indifferent about it.

financial status. Always has enough for whatever is needed; her lifestyle is not especially extravagant.

vices. Sweets. Hoarding. Games, in both the literal and mental sense.

SEX & ROMANCE.

sexual orientation. Pansexual.

romantic orientation. Aromantic.

preferred emotional role. Submissive | Dominant | Switch | Unsure

turn offs. Mulishness. Shyness. A bland character coupled with a stale wit. Mercenary types.

love language. Gift giving.

relationship tendencies. Rather complicated! Iwona ‘loves’ in a manner akin to a pet-owner: in the position of mastery and secure in the knowledge that all things come and go.

MISCELLANEOUS.

hobbies to pass the time. Gardening for pleasure, woodcarving.

mental illnesses. None. 

physical illnesses. None.

left or right brained. Right.

fears. Very little to speak of. This stems not from an incredibly brave character, but a blithely devil-may-care one.

self confidence level. High.

vulnerabilities: Physically, an increased susceptibility to forms of attack which target aether. Emotionally, loneliness and her past.

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION.

Having always loved myths and folklore and wonderfully inspired by Il Mheg, Iwona is my take on what fae-touched could be in FFXIV. As such, I’m only interested in other roleplayers who aren’t going to leap down my throat about what should and shouldn’t be. That said, my aim is still to be as lore-friendly and abiding as possible. Though she is from the First, characters from the Source are welcome for interaction. You'll have to inquire about the details and determine whether or not the method involved (it's nothing too extreme, nor does it require an in-character knowledge of, or participation with) is something you'd be comfortable with! I'm looking for the standard things: contacts, potential long-term partners, character relationships (not necessarily romantic), yadda yadda. There are very few themes I am unwilling to touch given enough (and good) OOC communication. I am uninterested in combat oriented roleplay or plotless ERP. For most back and forth, I'm partial to Discord, though I do love in-game things as well. I’m new to the FFXIV roleplay scene, but not roleplay in general. I write best with people I click with both in character and behind the scenes. I prefer a writing style which is similar to my own in both pacing and structure without a large disparity in effort levels, and I like the person I'm writing with to enjoy shitposting and memes just as much as I do. If this is you, we will probably get along swimmingly! 21+ only. Please understand that between school, childcare, family, and PVE content, I'm not always available for roleplay.
