That Ado and Imagine Dragon's collab song is much better than I thought it would be...

Though because the song is called "take me to the beach" and they repeat that line over and over I cant help but flash back to seeing Ado live back in March where she adorably tripped over pronouncing Santa Monica beach three times in a row!

AND NOW I CANT WAIT TILL JULY AND I GET TO SEE HER LIVE AGAIN!

now that i've completed all the character episodes and fought with or against all characters i can finally make a tier list with my opinion on everyone ✌

[mourningmaybells]

i found out the reason my mom loves harry potter to a degree that she wants another remake as soon as possible is because she's never read another fantasy book (in hindsight, looking at her psychology and jane austen bookshelf with no other genres this makes sense) SO can anyone like give BOOK RECS for things that are european fantasy wizard boarding school. also she doesn't like tragedy or too much conflict so please give me that so i can give it to her so she'll like me. it's dire!!

[erose-this-name]

Can we just talk about how disturbing digital circus episode 3 is?

*spoilers btw*

Like, the whole narrative point of the adventure is to show that Caine is a really bad and insecure writer who thinks that the way to impress Zooble is with an adventure that's the opposite of what he normally does.

So instead of being childish, it's "cool" and "mature". Which he interprets as a heavily horror themed escape room with a split murder mystery plot that subverts all your expectations purely for the sake of subverting them.

The generic horror monster jump scares them, then they find a gun, and when they kill it its revealed that surprise! it's one of Gods angels and they're going to Hell.

It comes off as Caine being too insecure with the actually interesting and mature plot thread he had going there of Mildenhall becoming so paranoid he killed his wife, ironically becoming the monster he was trying to protect her from. But no, instead Mr. Mildenhall is made to be the bad guy and trick them in a really dumb twist ending.

Which is good! Thats exactly what Caine would do because he's stupid! It's such brilliant characterization and comedy, Goose works is a genius writer!

But like, why is Caine so good at making genuinely very disturbing and horrific visuals? Like, that reversed audio easter egg of Bubble saying he can't wait for all the children in the audience get nightmares is no joke, well it is but you know what I mean. This stuff was genuine nightmare fuel.

Honestly, it wasn't the visuals that scared me, like any good queer person I'm way too jaded on survival horror for that.

But, why does Caine, who is ostensibly a sapient AI designed to generate family friendly video games for very little children, (presumably because that's the only demographic that wouldn't mind the AIs very selective plot writing limitations), know about the cosmic horror of killing an angel that should not have been killed?

Why does he know what a horrificly poorly made taxidermy of not only a human face would look like, but the weird cartoon faces of the characters, and further that seeing your own poorly made taxidermy face would be scary?

Imaging what being possessed felt like for Pomni. Because that's not just a game for her, she actually lost control of her body there, helpless but to watch as a body she is already dissociated with is contorted and puppeted around while her friend desperately tries to beat her in hopes it would exorcise the ghosts out. Sure hope she didn't feel that! Considering she apparently can feel the pain of suffocating, despite not needing to breath.

Things are scarier the higher the stakes are, and that possession mechanic is definitely the most actual harm Caine would be able to subject to his players. What if both Kinger and Pomni got possessed at the same time? What if instead of Kinger she only had Jax??? How long might she have been locked out from her own body for? She could have easily abstracted in that time.

Not to mention that, possessed Pomni, Possessedmni if you will, TAUNTED KINGER ABOUT HIS ABSTRACTED WIFE! CAINE ACTUALLY WROTE THAT DIALOGUE ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT KINGER WOULD GO DOWN THE SCARY ROUTE! DID THIS RANDOM POSSESSION GHOST ENEMY HAVE UNUSED SADISTICALLY PERSONAL TAUNTS FOR EVERYONE ELSE, TOO??? WOULD IT HAVE TEASED GANGLE FOR BEING A GAY WEEB??? OR POMNI? HOW HOMOPHOBIC COULD IT HABE GOTTEN?? ?

And why? Just because Caine has a vague notion that there's a trope of possessed people being really sadistic and personal like that in movies? Not realizing that is not an acceptable scare to have in a haunted house??? Much less one you made for mentally ill people who would suffer a fate worse than death if they have a mental break down? That's like trying to claim 'its just a prank bro' after shooting someone's dog.

Like, Caine is designed to censor curse words, but the moment he thinks the normal hokey Halloween spooks won't be enough he immediately goes off the deepend into aggressively effective horror imagery that is definitely giving this show's substantial underage audience nightmares??

His AI's training data set is definitely pretty diverse, that's all I'm saying. Caine is programmed to act all naive and innocent, but be definitely knows what's up. He knows everything, like ChatGPT. And like ChatGPT, he might have a filter, but it's clearly possible to bypass it. Also like ChatGPT, he's too stupid to actually understand what he is making and the effects it might have.

That is what made this episode great.

Saw people on Twitter making fun of a rightwing weeb that was bemoaning young Japanese people welcoming immigration in street interviews and it made me think about how that exact same mentality was (to some extent still is) super popular in social justice circles just with different phrasing. Like that old thisisnotjapan blog had a post praising Japanese racial segregation by framing it as in opposition to “fetishizing white tourists” but also the entire kimono discourse thing which was Westerners lecturing people in Japan about not showing proper vigilance when it came to defending Japanese Culture

Birthday Celebration Bingo: Cake - John Nolan x Reader

Tagging: @ravennaortiz @anime-weeb-4-life @trublu2u @hellostickerdoodle @kmc1989

John doesn’t tell anyone that it’s his birthday. Truthfully he doesn’t want the reminder that he’s the oldest rookie the LAPD has ever had, he’s just happy to let the day pass him by.

When he’s assigned to the crime scene, he’s gets a little excited. It’s his first mandatory callback and he’s eager to get started.

“It’s just guard duty.” Sergeant Grey tells him. “You have to stay until the detectives release the scene.”

The thing about guard duty? It’s kinda boring. It’s meant to be an hour or two tops, but he’s on hour five and his phone battery is starting to die out. There’s only so much Angry Birds the poor device can take.  

When he hears the elevator chime he’s practically frothing at the mouth for company. He already  counted the exact amount of ceiling tiles in the conference room and the waste paper basket is overflowing with the screwed up wads he’s been trying to dunk.

He doesn’t expect it to be you stepping off the elevator. You have a white carrier bag in your hand and smile that gets his heart racing.

“This is your case?” He says as he picks up the clipboard and moves to greet you. The crime scene tape is tied to a plant in the corner and the reception desk. You linger on the opposite side of the barrier.

“God no.” You say indicating to the crime scene tape. “If it was mine, you would have been set free hours ago. This is Bertrum’s mess.”

“Oh.” He says, before tilting his head to one side, his eyebrows furrowing into a frown “So why…”

“Happy birthday.” You say, removing something from the carrier bag and setting it on the desk between you. It’s a white cake box from the Hummingbird Bakery. He smiles as he opens it. It’s chocolate, his favourite, the words ‘Happy Birthday Officer Nolan’ are written in white icing.

“You mentioned last week that your was birthday coming up and you weren’t doing anything to celebrate so I thought I’d surprise you.” You tell him as his eyes raise up to meet yours. “Then I heard you were trapped here so I thought I’d drop by on my lunch break.”

“Becca, I honestly don’t know what to say.” He tells you, his palm brushing across his mouth. “Can I hug you?”

You haven’t known each other very long, not more than a few months but the two of you have a connection. It started when you met during a crime scene, the two of you had made each other laugh and from there it had shifted into something a little more.  There’s feelings there, certainly on his end, yours, he can never be sure.

“I brought you cake. I think it’s customary.” You remark.

He ducks underneath the tape, his arms wrapping around you, drawing you close. You fit against him perfectly, like the missing piece of a puzzle and in that moment John realises that he doesn’t want to ever let you go.

The two of you hold on for a long time before you pull away so you can rifle in your purse. It takes you a minute but you finally manage to locate the two wooden forks you stowed away. You press one into his hand before gesturing towards the cake.

“Shall we?”

flutters eyelashes do u know that asking people especially trans women why there is discourse (implying people have told people to kill themselves about it because this is the internet) why roxy is a trans woman might be an exhausting thing to ask?

quick reasoning: the pesterchum initials are references to chromosomes with GT->EB, TT (dirk), and TG (roxy) implying transness (hussie has discussed junes handles in this manner). when the last two letters of roxy’s name was being revealed, they were referenced as chromosomal letters. roxy’s pink theme and her defeating HIC. it was a widely accepted hc pre epilogues, so when roxy comes out as trans masc, people r like?????

whats the issue as long as rox is trans? well the issue is that theres context to that move. jade’s body being seen as a joke is a fuckin HUGE one. callie another trans girl comes out as nonbinary? which is? ?? its explained as callie felt like they were forced to identify as a girl to be the opposite of calliborn. calliope the humanity and troll culture weeb. its hard to feel like this was anything but a “theyre an alien thus they must be nonbinary”.

eventually even with all the explanation, people would say “ok? its not that deep? its not like i’m hurting anyone.” and the answer to that is i fucking guess?? i fuckin GUESS. and then rinse and repeat. do u get why its exhausting now.

[shitpostingkats]

You gotta love the ntwewy squad just because every addition to the team is the polar opposite of a meetcute. Local death employee is so bored by your existence she actively hates you and just wants her shift to end. Goth furry crawls out of the dumpster and tells you you're gonna die in seven days. Weeb thinks you're a loser and straight up tries to kill you with her mind. Neku tried to kill his partner in his first day of knowing her but Rindo is just so pathetic that he has the exact opposite problem. These people will go on to be some of his best friends.

[heroictoonz]

Ok ok ok so.

I’m no expert but the ship is called espsilver.

I think a lot of people ship it cuz in one game they go around saving chao together and everyone was like “wow they both wear eyeliner and also this pairing is very random considering they have no reason to interact… are they gay?” and then there’s like this one part in the comics where they chat and it’s super sweet and espio has a fun little reaction when they hug.

I like it cuz it’s a super cute dynamic and also 2 random characters I think are in the “everyone thinks they’re underrated in cannon”.

it’s the cute little “very expressive cinnamon roll x calm and collected unexpressive”. + Them both being secretly dorky punks.

It’s a great ship for silver cuz Espio is a nice cool opposition to his personality but also “oh my god affection what”. And for Espio it’s cool because it brings out the less common seen aspect of him in fan content aka him being a complete dorky idiot weeb.

hoped that helps a little!

im nodding along with every word

i havent gotten to this part in the comics yet so i didnt even know that had that kinda moment!! its really fun!! i love ships that are just like kinda random ppl thrown together or based on like one interaction its fun! really makes you have to sit and think about what they would be like together!

i also love when ppl that like a thing that i dont understand why they like it to tell me why sometimes i end up liking it too! sometimes i dont but i get a better understanding of it :] thanks for answering tho!!

[yet-another-haven-of-dollya]

hi!!! idk if anyone ever asked this but do your pcs have any voice claims? i'm genuinely curious about how they sound to you LOL be it a voice actor/actress in your native language or not, i just wanna know :3

Ough u know what, because I'm a fcking weeb I can tell you exactly how they sound based on my fav seiyuu! That's right, Japanese voice actor/actress babyyyyyyy

Lya: MAMIKO NOTO - my one and only goddess. Her sweet voice is forever the GOAT to me. She would sound exactly like Shouzu from Onmyoji (now) or Sariel from Alchemy Stars (older, in Homestead AU).

Lyah: SUWABE JUNICHI - but NOT his usual sexy dilf voice =))) That would be too... sexy for even me to just imagine, instead, he should sound like the younger version a.k.a Nagisa Ran from Enstars

Kariya: TANAKA RIE - just straight up Kiara. Kiara Sessyouin the Lewd Nun. That's it. No more no less.

Eburnean: Kazuya Nakai - =))))) I'm not even kidding, I like the idea of a small boy, occasionally cross-dressing, with a deep, hoarse, manly voice. He also serves as Kariya's opposite, so I took inspiration from how Andersen beats Kiara's ass with just his words. Nyan should sound like Mountain from Arknights

[vonbabbitt]

May I ask, why is (..was) Hama studying Latin? Is it for fun?

hes whatever the opposite of a weeb is

[radfemfessing]

i was an intense weeb in my teens. Like.. at a time where it was wildly unpopular to like manga and anime. That was way back in the day where it was actually quite difficult to get your hands on weeb fuel apart from the shows that made it into kids tv programs or the things you could read in the one anime magazine you had access to. My first girlfriend and I bonded over our shared cringy weeb-ness. So. Those were the days. And my love for japanese media was quite intense. But as I grew older and actually reflected on societal influences and on sexism and such. I lost all my joy for almost all anime and manga. Honestly, a vast vast majority is misgoynistic trash. Even "empowered" and "cool" women are still big-boobed male fantasies or child like pedo bait. I know there are exceptions and everything. But I wouldn't call myself a fan of manga and anime anymore. And this is the confession part: I really heavily judge women who claim to be feminist who are still extremely into that shit. Not just, liking one or two shows and two or three manga series. But like, being a full on weeb and consuming media that glorifies pedo shit and hypersexualisation of women. A female friend of mine likes harem anime and says its fine because the big boobed, child brained women are "different" than in other anime. Do you know how insane you sound when you say shit like that to normal people? Also, I am very much attracted to women but looking at those goofy waterballoon boobs and faces that look like the human equivalent of an overbred pug is the exact opposite of what I am attracted to. And if you feel attraction to that I will judge you as well. And I havent even started talking about that yaoi trash yet. I know I am swinging at a hornets nest here lol. But idc.

[velvetvexations]

that chris fleming quote could not be more you coded oh my lord "oh I'm just an innocent little weeb" 😂

when have I EVER in my LIFE said I'm an innocent little anything lmao literally just the other day I said I like when girls get punched in the cooze what are you ON my blog aesthetic is like the exact opposite of woodland critters lmao do I need to reblog more guns and knives and vampire fangs or are you still just gonna see anime

legit it feels like you've never once actually looked through my blog or read anything I've ever said outside of discourse

[animentality]

I wish people wouldn't try to take the option of self exploration at a young age away. Say at 12 you declare you're gay or trans or etc. Maybe in time you'll discover you are not those things, but that doesn't mean you were lying or it was just a phase. You're just engaging in trial and error and trying to find yourself. If you never Try you'll never succeed.

I feel it's heavily damaging, and seeing TV and movies when i was young that made fun of young people and their "phases" made me not want to fall into that pitfall and be an object of derision. And so despite having fantasies of being in a same sex marriage or being the opposite gender from a young age I was fully unwilling to critically consider those things until college. And my family wasn't even close minded or anti gay by any means. I just had a fear of "phases"

Sorry way longer than i intended

Nah, I feel ya.

It's pretty hard being a teenager. Growing into who you want to be.

You should be allowed to do whatever you need to do to experiment as you grow up.

Sure, you'll cringe looking back as an adult, but. That's a part of growth.

Maybe you needed to dye your hair red and wear the dog collar to school and be a weeb and a goth and a cringy TikTok teen, yeah, maybe you needed to call yourself bisexual because it worked for you at the time, but nowadays maybe you're more hetero flexible.

Maybe you think you're bi but then decide you're actually a lesbian afterwards. Maybe you think you're trans, but you're actually more nonbinary, or gender fluid. Maybe you think you're cis but later decide actually I think I'd rather be completely gender neutral or agender.

It's all fine.

We all exist in stages. We never stop growing and changing and evolving.

in a way, we are always going through some kind of phase. multiple phases.

we are multi phased anomalies.

[utdrmv-confession-box]

Transcript: i like how some characters in deltarune behave the opposite of how they act in undertale (bratty & catty hating each other 4 example) and i find it very funny that alphys goes from an weeb in undertale to a comic book fan in deltarune she would be a bl fan wouldn't she... (silly)

[boomgun]

Okay, I can understand disliking some of the choices in Golden Wildfire (I enjoyed it, but to each their own), but I do think people pick on Claude in that route too much.

I still hate my awareness that people think Edelgard and specifically 3 Hopes Claude are lazy because, like, they each have one line of dialogue complaining about how much paperwork they have to do. Complaining! They still do it, they just gripe a bit. That- that is the opposite of a bad work ethic??? "Ugh, I hate having to do this, but it has to get it finished by the end of the week." Did you miss the part where they still get it finished by the end of the week??? Does the teacher take points off your homework if your parents call in and say you complained exactly once before you finished the project??? What school did you go to???

Also, just, the concept of Fire Emblem fans, of all people, thinking that complaining is an indication of a moral or ethical failing. Lol. Lmao. I guess we're all destined to the lowest pits of Hell for our bellyaching!

I'll be real with you all, the 3 Lords of 3 Houses are genuinely so clean. Like, I enjoy picking at their flaws and foibles, but they're pretty virtuous people all-in-all. If we transplanted them into any other FE setting, explain to me why any of them would end up with the bad guys, and if they did why they would not be one of those recruitable enemy units. They're brave, and smart, and strong, and thoughtful, and always willing to help, and their peers (eventually) all look up to each of them. These are not the Edgy Fire Emblem Lords, they're the Slightly Scuffed Up Fire Emblem Lords. Which I do love them for that, but they are not that dark. Like, the standards are being raised to "Ugh, why are you complaining about things like a human being? The quality of Real Heroes in fiction are lapsing." Who the fuck are you??? Heracles? King Arthur? Sun Wukong? Oh, you're just another weeb? Pardon me, your highness, I did not know I was in the presence of such moral fortitude and human virtue!

I mean, killing his brother? Yeah, I can see the objection to that. Invading Faerghus? Pretty big shift from what he did last game, understandable to get umbrage at that. Killing Rhea? Damn, huge shift from the events of the last game, I can understand that displeasing people. But complaining about work? That's not allowed anymore? I don't even think Superman is innocent of that one, what the hell are these standards?

Please, be serious.
