#I'm not complaining ig but still

bruh why is it so warm today

[shadovvheart]

Are there actually people who get discouraged from playing a game when they get spoiled too much? "does bioware understand that if they reveal too much people won't be interested in playing the game" that's crazy if so, imagine refusing to engage with a story after you already know some portions of it... being this afraid of spoilers just leads to a culture where studios don't tell their actors who they're playing and what game they're even acting for

...so now that grandfest is over and the results were revealed am i allowed to say that some of y'all were such dicks to team present over their team choice for NO good reason ever since grandfest was revealed or am i going to get mauled for being right.

anyways congrats to the team past members who weren't assholes about their team choice and those team past members only every match against you guys made me feel like i was crawling in the trenches and it's very impressive 👍

Completely almost forgot to apply for that internship I was interested in.... Applications close TODAY BTW. Like. It said "no later than May 1" and I am typing this at 12:01 am on May 1 lmao. I emailed it at like 11:59 on April 30 😭😭😭 Unfortunately the one I really wanted already closed, but the same company has dozens of internships with different departments, so I picked the easiest looking one lol. It's also the one where I would get to post on their Tumblr blog yippee!!! Fingers crossed 🤞

can't believe all my roommate's friends were so actively working against me when it came to who gets the big room with the balcony attached to it and in the end she actually got it....

2009 on youtube was a wild west. anybody remember youtube streams? not, like, Youtube Gaming, i mean youtube used to have an official built-in version of rabb.it/hyperbeam/etc. like you could just.. browse rooms and join them and chat with people while playing videos

that was how i met my longest-running rp group. there was a whole group of, like, gimmick accounts of "i'm This Character and i'm going to comment on videos in-character! also we have a stream room where everybody hangs out :3" and my long-time friend ran one of those for Ninten. and i made an oc and made her a youtube account (which i dont think i have access to anymore, agh) and joined the stream and would rp with everybody

and i met. so many people through that. and also it was a whole nest of drama which ended in me being losing contact with basically everybody from that era except for One Person i have friended on discord and dont talk to because we're chronically awkward and i was a walking disaster when i was 13

(wait oh my god they were ALSO part of Contact. their character made it into both fic attempts, even. i dont think we're tumblr mutuals anymore since we remade though ahaheh ;;)

um. anyway. the whole.. origin.. of KL was that whenever somebody was inappropriate in chat or played a Bad Video or changed the background to Something NSFW (because anybody in the stream could upload an image url to change the page background!!) my response would be

IMMAKUROUSU: you DARE bring [thing] into my lair?! you must DIE

so when the group splintered and my corner of the squad made our own stream room, eventually it got named Kurousu's Lair

..anyway, this was where the rp that i fanfic-ified into Contact happened. in a youtube stream chat. one of the IAms was a big Homeworld fan and was doing a villain arc with his guy who was like, the leader of the Hiigaran Empire and friends with Ninten before he got possessed or something, and so he set up a rp where earth got sieged by the hiigarans and a handful of survivors banded together to try and stop Jaraci before humanity was completely wiped out

and so that guy, who also roleplayed the other main protag Elohim, uploaded a video that was his character's theme song and it had a bunch of Homeworld concept art and space photos and stuff and gave us the annotation link so we could put funny speech bubbles on it of ellis yelling and being very normal about everything

all of that is long gone now. the only bits of that era that remain are me telling stories like this, some ocs, some accounts, and that video.

(i remember this specific image being, like, contextualized as them maybe stealing one of the hiigaran ships? and ellis yelling at elohim over it. my memory is basically gone past that though, and the annotations have been wiped for a decade by now.)

i love you I love you I love writers that do short paragraphs in fanfic (I have eye problems and my eyes skip around so reading big paragraphs can be painful) and writers who do short chapters in books (I have no sense of time and it's nice to regularly have a built in break point, and it gives me a shot of dopamine to finish a chapter so I can trick myself into reading more) (reading is my favourite thing to do probably but my brain hates it for some reason so I have to trick it into doing it.....even though I really love doing it???)

[gouraminnow]
