the fun part for me is that they posted it on insta as well. surely that’s a freaky fandom thing that could have just been posted on twitter/tumblr for us to enjoy, but no. no, put it next to the two adobe spons and for the normies to see.

they're so brave for putting it on tiktok too because 40% of those comments are going to be people acting like dan and phil mysteriously vanished off the internet 10 years ago

actually genuinely depressing that when people write april's mom as an actual character she's just kind of a one note Good Caretaker Mom... and like i know why this happens (let the the mammy trope dieee) but i still think there's a lot of untapped potential. im not saying she has to be a BAD parent but there are infinitely more interesting things you can do with april and her relationships with her parent(s), especially because she's WROUGHT with insecurity and is shown to develop a close bond with splinter, who she seeks out approval from, not to mention the absence of her likely working parents is so loud despite it never being mentioned as a reason for her issues, really.

april can take on the front of confidence because she's excitable and courageous but she is so deeply insecure. her being so tenacious despite that doesn't negate it. she notices how she doesn't seem to get along with other people and desperately desires balance between her love of the weird and her need for normalcy. april will work hard to fit in and she'll never succeed (also i really do relate to the fact that the one "friend" she has at school before likely sunita is kind of a creep that she doesn't like, can we talk about that more), and she does seem to find it frustrating that her only actual friends dont understand how that feels. being in the in-between point. wanting the best of both worlds and not truly fitting in either.

i think these are problems that can come with having a bad social life at school even with great parents, but unintentional emotional neglect due to being working class would be interesting, and parallel with splinter in a really fascinating way (+ they do say she has parents but i do prefer the idea of her having a single mom, more to be done with that. maybe they're divorced? that'd add something).

actually april's dynamic with splinter is really unexplored in the fandom because i do think there's a reason she finds his approval so validating,,, i think april's strong personality is mistaken for genuine confidence when it's really not.

SHE THINKS SHE'S A FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I just say it's super disheartening when people request stuff but they just- toss a like at it and that's it when it's done. No reblog or even comments or anything. Most people are super nice, but the ones that don't I'm just like why??? 😭 yall getting specific scenarios for free,,,

[jigsaw voice] hello ally (taylor's version <3). last week you made a comment on a tiktok where you asked "song name?" despite the fact that not only were the lyrics on screen and easy to google but also. the song name itself was directly in the caption that you neglected to read in favor of going to the comment section. in front of you is a printed out picture of a social media post about something you haven't heard of. you will find that it being a piece of paper means the comment section is unable to be opened. in front of that piece of paper. is a computer with a search engine open. your task is to type a question into the search engine and find the easily accessible information yourself to obtain the key needed to unlock the room before the walls press in on you like in star wars a new hope. you have sixty seconds. let the game begin. also btw the keys have razors on th

I was reading a fic and enjoying it, had everything that I wanted, the cute little polycule had just come fruition and I was squealing with excitement. And then... then one of the characters (in the polycule) started acting shippy with one of the OC's 😬. I kept reading and it kept subtly happening. I check the tags when I started the next chapter and sure enough it has a character/oc tag, I'm crying 😭. Now, no shade to the author, it's your sandbox play in it how you want, smash those barbies together!!! And I actually love this oc, a great character, with a developed personality. I just don't know if I can get on board with them being shipped with the character. And that's a me problem that I would NEVER make comment on in the fic. It's hard though because my first reaction was NOPE and I closed the fic for the night. But the plot and suspense has its hooks in me and I NEED to know what happens, I am just unsure if I can reconcile this unexpected (that's totally my fault) development. I know, I know it's their fanfic and they can do what they want, it's just a pet peeve of mine 😤. Anyone else struggle with this typa thing?

Reblog with some of your fanfic pet peevs.

Disclaimer: Note that I made this purposely vague because this is NOT to hate on ANYONE or ANY fic, I just wanted to bitch. But if you know me you probably know the polycule ship. My yuck could be your yum and that's perfectly a-okay 🥰.

Like this.

After making the post I realized I Have Hands that can Draw Out Jokes.

[ID: a sketchy digutal comics.

Panel 1: Artoo Deeto and Cee-Threepio walking along behind Blake's 7's Avon.

Panel 1: Threepio, preening: did you hear that, Artoo? Exemplarly Intelligent And Obedient Specimen!

Artoo (all his dialogue is written in a computery font): OH MY GOD.

Panel 2: Artoo: WHY R U LIKE THIS. He is NOT going to fuck you.

C-3PO seems annoyed, puts on hand on his hip. Avon's face scrunches in concentration, with a circular buffering symbol next to his head with a label reads 'Loading Binary....'

Panel 3: Avon's turned around to glance at the droids.

Avon: So that's what this is all about?

Avon: you don't know that.

Both droids seem surprised. Threepio's visibly gaping. /End ID]

me when i wanna design my own versions of the gods (mainly for skratch company lore, ik, ik) but im sscared of fucking up for some reason

[lunozapp]

oh my fucking god people need to stop acting like its the end of the world if a kid doesn't recognise a nintendo console.

i BEG you, stop acting like they're hopeless because solely they're uninformed. if it breaks your heart so much, INFORM THEM YOURSELF. share your love for the technology/media/whatever you grew up with WITH THEM.

i remember first finding out about the nintendo wii when i was around 4 and i was extatic, even though it was considered dead at the time. there's a whole world of history waiting to be discovered by these kids, and i guarantee AT LEAST SOME of them could find a DS or gamecube as captivating as you once did.

of course share your passion for the past, but all i ask is not to exclude the new generation because 'its just not the same'. its literally part of the problem imo

enstars you cant just set the event story for the tatsumi center alkaloid climax BEFORE SS AND OBBLIGATO. you cant just do that. like come on.

hmmm. while i agree that the dalish & elves in general we see in datv were kinda like. uncharacteristically nonchalant about the god stuff & there shouldve been more conflict... a lot of the posts ive seen about it come from a very christian understanding of religion and faith in a way thats hard to put my finger on. idk. like i do not think it would mean that none of the elves would follow the evanuris no questions asked, and even if we approach it with the potential nuance of dalish culture allows for conflict With their deities in that way bc of how they culturally approach worship, thats still not something we really see in the text of the game so its not like. idk. the game is still kinda lacking in that department but i just feel like a bit frustrated that ppls ideas of how the elves shouldve had faith in their gods would only happen the way a christian church expects you to believe in an infallible monotheist god. /especially/ because the elves are polytheistic, its just. idk. Idk!!!!

I think the thing about the wardor games is that they are good games, made by people who are excellent at making video games, with a good story, told by people who are absolutely terrible at telling a story

when a character asks another character, that clearly looks upset "are you okay?": booo 🤮 that sucks 👎 bad writing 🥱 do better.

when a character asks another character that looks totally fine "are you okay?: oh hell yeah 😍 that's the good shit 👍 now start crying from the question ✨ oh baby this is top tier 💯
