In the Garden Pond

As the Iron Triangle is away on a wild goose chase, and only because Wu Xie owed somebody a favour very important job, the "Annual Wushanju Pond Clean Up" falls to Wang Meng. But how hard could it be to clean a garden pond...? (spoiler alert: very)

Reading the fleetway Sonic comic now and

I'm convinced that Tails is his special little guy??

I mean, he's an asshole, no doubt, but he passes up a party (mind you, he loves being celebrated as a hero so much) to go looking for Tails

He goes looking at his "favorite place" and literally dons shades and a worse attitude at learning Tails was taken

He genuinely cares about him as his buddy? Sure he complains about him or insults hin fairly often, but he clearly likes having Tails around enough to want him back??

Are we gonna talk about how Tails breaks free from Robotnik's control because he can't bear to keep hurting Sonic, because he cares?

This scene too reminds me so much of that scene from Fang the Hunter issue 1 where Tails called for Sonic and Sonic bid himself to be patient and not lash out because Tails is his friend. Like again, Fleetway!Sonic is an asshole, but he's holding back when it comes to Tails even a little bit

There's just constant proof whenever Tails is put in danger or captured that Sonic cares about his well-being. In fact he cares so much he just kind of is just indifferent about those he puts in danger by zeroing in on saving Tails (and those he saves he doesn't necessarily save with intent to). In this issue specifically, Sonic, the animal companions with him, and an unconscious Tails get washed away in a current of water, and rather than worry about his own well-being or those of his companions, he yells at them to keep ahold of Tails in the water so he can take care of the badnik.

Personally I feel like this sequence speaks for itself? Although Sonic is fairly confident, he risks his life on the chance that he can steer the Death Egg off course (and we're not even factoring in whether he can escape in time), and sends Tails away in the only escape pod. He literally gambles his life on this act of saving Emerald Hill and worries first about securing Tails', even if only Tails may end up escaping.

There's also the setting? Tails crying for Sonic and calling him the bravest hedgehog he ever met, Sonic reacting like he didn't just narrowly avoid death and that Tails is just stating the obvious, the two of them floating down in the escape pod during the sunset

I don't have the picture space to show it, but there's also another part of this issue where Sonic continuously nags Tails to stay out of danger and to let him handle everything alone, and then (after falling into a trap), starts talking to himself about how glad he is that Tails wasn't around to see him make such a rookie mistake. It's easy to read as Sonic always leaving Tails behind because he doesn't think much of him or thinks he'll be in the way, but I don't think that's completely true! I get the idea that Fleetway Sonic likes having his buddy around just as much as he wants his buddy to be safe. So he brings him around everywhere he can, but he forces him to hang back during the dangerous bits. And that's not to mention how this issue showed just how much Sonic values Tails' opinion of him.

And BOY does this scene get me

It's like

This is the first time Super Sonic ever appears in StC. Are we going to ignore that Fleetway!Super Sonic stops attacking and reverts back into regular Sonic because of Tails?

This is like Mecha Sonic in Archie's Mecha Madness special all over again, except Fleetway!Super Sonic is under no one's control. He stopped attacking because Tails bids him to remember them.

There's just so many little things about them in my reading so far that I almost can't believe it (and would hit the tumblr photo limit a number of times if I were to show it off)

If I had to label their relationship in StC, I'd say that, to Tails, Sonic is someone he admires greatly. He doesn't seem to be fond of Sonic's attitude (largely when it's aimed at those other than himself), and he expresses criticism as to how vain Sonic is and his eating choices, but ultimately he cares about Sonic enough to stick around with him and go on adventures from time to time. For Sonic, I think Tails is someone he secretly likes having around. He often criticizes him, and depending on his mood he'll do it whenever he gets an opening, but he's also just...bad at feelings. When Tails is in danger, he'll zero in on saving him, almost above all else, and then when he saves Tails he's going off about how he can't trust Tails to be alone, angry and annoyed. He's a jerk, but a jerk who cares more than he lets on about Tails. Tails isn't just some admirer, he's important to him, and at the same time, Tails' is someone whose opinion of him he values. Ahsjsjs and....he's also the kind of guy who would say something like "Hey, that's enough! Only I get to bully Tails!"

Is their relationship healthy? No😂 But also in StC it also comes off like...they're both choosing this. Despite everything they choose to be buddies

Idk I'm fascinated so far😂

The Sonic the asshole and his special little fox

Just in case you needed MORE reasons to not attend the Minecraft movies aside from the fact that Jack black is a Zionist who defended Autism speaks (Literally screaming at well meaning and polite autistic people on Twitter who told him about how shit that org is), it's unoriginal, a cash grab, the black woman in the movie dose nothing but exist as a "sassy black woman" stereotype, the girls do nothing in the movie outside of talk about men and build a house randomly and there was abuse of staff/lack of credits given to alot of CGI artists who worked on this piece of garbage....

The white guy creator is more worried about all the white guys 16-24 who are going into the theaters screaming, throwing popcorn and drinks, ripping out rows of seats and dragged an actual chicken into the theater getting arrested (rightfully so) for property damage, animal cruelty and harassment than staff or respectful patrons.

This is entirely because teenage and young adult white cis boys are doing this. No one else would ever be allowed to get away with shit like this. If young black men were doing it, if white girls were doing it, if gay/trans people were doing it, there'd be hell to pay. They deserve to be fucking arrested, they are destroying property. Staff are happy that people would clap during that scene or yell out the meme but nothing I mentioned above isn't happening. There is an infamous video going around showing some of it with pictures of ripped open and pushed over rows of seats, tons of phone flashlights turning on, people covering themselves/seats/other unwilling patrons in soda and popcorn and candy, screaming in the theater, ripped carpet and dragging a real life chicken into the theater and holding it up while on someone else's shoulders. If they fall, that chicken could die, if not get hurt and certainly unnecessarily stressed and terrified by being in a dark loud theater then getting held up and pelted with popcorn.

These aren't fans who want to celebrate the movie, even if they were id still be damning them for it, these are a bunch of attention seeking white frat boys destroying a theater "for the meme" and y'all are less concerned with them getting away with behaving like that and more concerned about "their future"??? This isn't harmless fun, they caused thousands of dollars in damages and they walked out like nothing happened because no one will say anything because they are white and because they are men! If I had a son who'd been involved in that situation, you bet your fucking ass he (and his friends) arnt leaving that damn theater till it's clean and he can see his phone, computer, sports and hobbies after fucking graduation. That is an embarrassment to their families and they need to be raised better. That would never fly under my fucking roof. That's the worst of it, most those boys were fully fucking adults when this happened. Sure there were a few 16 and 17 yrs olds but most of them were 18-23.

Don't give them any excuses. Theater etiquette is very fucking basic and everyone knows it. No one in their age range today, my age range, hasn't been to a theater a few times in their life. It's very fucking simple: sit down, be quiet, keep the area clean, throw your trash away at the end and be respectful of those around you. There's 30 minutes of screen time in that movie after that scene. Id play a tune on my tiny violin for them if they had to sit in that mess for the whole 30 mins but they got kicked out immediately after. Theater staff have to clean that up. Other people posted videos of themselves being in the theater during this time and the manager kicked them out too despite them not participating.

And would you look at that, white boy director is more worried about memories and fun than maturity, respect and staff workers. Fuck their memories, fuck their fun, you are perfectly capable of making fun memories without destroying a fucking theater, abusing staff workers, harassing other patrons, ruining movies in theaters next to you and abusing a chicken all for a fucking trend that is already dieing in the fucking water. The only reason he likes this is because all those destructive men are buying tickets and leaving joke reviews on every site and the only reason he excuses it and doesn't want the cops called is because they are white men like him, arrests at theaters due to this movie is bad publicity and he will never have to be the underpaid and overworked employee on their hands and knees scrubbing soda off the carpet. He's a fucking capitalist pig.

Last thing I'll mention, about the fucking reviews, every review site is fucking broken about the movie right now. Rotten tomatoes is broken rn and IMDB is especially broken because both verified and unverified accounts are flooding it with 10/10 reviews that only say "chicken jockey" and "flint and steel". And those are the memey ones but there's are also just Jokey ones or clearly fucking bots. When you look at the ratings, if it was actually a very very good movie, most of the audience would sit around the 10, 9 and 8 star quality with it slowly petering out the lower you got. A movie that's getting flooded with good reviews by bots/trolls but is genuinely only mid would have an abnormal number of 10s (cause it's "the best"), really no 9s or 8s (cause trolls wouldn't think to evenly spread the fake reviews. They arnt a united front.), most be in the true range of the movie like 7s, 6s, 5s and 4s, then peter out towards the bottom. I'll prove it.

The sawshank redemption is one of the/is the best rated movie on IMDB with a whopping 93% average. The Minecraft movie is averaging about a 40-60% between rotten tomatoes (6 average) and IMDb (4 average). It should be mentioned you have to be verified/signed in to rate on IMDb but anyone can rate on rotten tomatoes which may explain why the reviews lean higher like that. Easier to troll with no barrier to entry. On the left is the reviews for the sawshank redemption on IMDb, on the right are the reviews for the Minecraft movie on IMDb.

Hmm... ITS ALMOST LIKE THE REAL RATING IS 6/7 NOT 10. If a movie is unanimously good, the ratings will reflect that with a top heavy graph. The Minecraft movie has intensely inflated scores because trolls aren't rating it honestly and neither site is bothering to weed out the trolls to reflect an actual score. Idk why they arent, maybe cause it's warner bros or laziness, but this is why we should stop this bs now.

This movie is bad, mid at best, the director is encouraging people to ransack theaters because white boy futures are more important than basic decency and it's a fucking cash grab getting better scores than FNAF because trolls aren't being stopped.

Fuck the Minecraft movie.

Fuck the Minecraft movie.

Fuck. The. Minecraft. Movie.

Boycott it because this behavior is fucking unacceptable and this director doesn't deserve shit.

RETURN OF THE TWITCH STREAM!

Alright, so most of my moots and followers may not know this but I'm an affiliate streamer on Twitch. I stopped for awhile because I just wasn't feeling it and the big reason why is that I didn't have my vtubing model and things like that. (I feel ugly so I don't want to show my face and I feel like vtubing would be so much more fun.)

So my bestie got me a 3d model for Christmas and I was hoping I could share him with you!

Let me know!

Oh, and here's my twitch if y'all wanna follow before the reboot goes underway. I'll be doing chatting and playing a variety of games. Probably most recently will be a new fresh run of FE3H where I will finally romance Dimitri. Only one I haven't done yet specifically so I could play it on twitch. 🤣

Secondly, I really want to do two segments for Twst. Originally I thought that I would just play the game on twitch. But unfortunately it's not really a streamable game. Not in a fun way. So that brought me to my secondary options.

To help support the test fandom, I'm considering the following segments:

A fanart sharing series where I find the fanarts that really spoke to me. I will also send out, a day prior, the reminder to send in the arts y'all really love (of all time, not just within the week). I plan to make a form so that you can send the link as well as your information. You can be anonymous, just tell me in the submission. There will also be a section for you to write out your thoughts on the fanart that you would like to be read out on the stream.

And a fanfic series that follows along the same line. There would just be two forms to answer (optional). The first, the same comment section. The second, a section to put the parts that you really loved (without spoilers) and then I can read those snippets of the fic.

As a note, you will need to reach out to the author/artist and ask them for permission to have their creation featured in my streams. I will need screenshot proof of their permission, and there will be a place for it to be included in the form.

And once all the recs for those segments will finalize with a poll on all the stuff we looked at. For writing, the winner of the poll will get their fic read (as long as pg13 or lower) at the end of the stream. (I will sometimes push one to another week so that I can also feature some of my own fics from time to time).

Lastly, I was also considering doing a writing advice segment where I give advice on writing from my own experience along with examples within my own writing or, perhaps, others when they have perfect examples of what I'm talking about. I will also set up a form so that you guys can send in questions. I won't answer them from the chat as that can get too confusing and this is much better. (And if I run out of questions, I'll then open it to the chat and answer as I get them in. (Obviously some will be missed and that can't be helped. Just give it like ten fifteen minutes and send it again. If it's really imperative, just send the form and you're guaranteed an answer, it just might take longer.)

I would also like to have a vlog that documents my journey in writing my novel. I think it could help me keep on track. I'll periodically share little segments I'm really proud of and things like that. As well as talk about the struggles and how I'm working to overcome them. And ofc answer questions. But that one would be a casual in-the-moment q&a.

I feel like there was more I was chewing on. I do know that I want to do ASMR. It's always been a important tool in my life and I've always wanted to be an ASMR artist. I'm excited because I don't think many of those artists use a vibe model and so I think that will definitely give me a leg up as far as uniqueness. Just hope it goes well lol. I'm trying all kinds of experimental things and am so excited.

Oooh we could do a smash or pass or tier ranking. Or a meme hour where we share our favorite nerd memes no matter the fandom. (Though mine will mostly be Twst and FE3H LMAO)

But yeah so lots to think on. I will probably have a re-intro vlog. Maybe 2 Get to Know me types where I talk about where I wanna take my stream and also answer y'all's questions. And we can discuss other stuff y'all wanna see.

Oh and forgot. I will also be doing a FFXIV (i think that's the right one.) Whatever the MMORPG that's currently running for final fantasy. And we'll start with character creation and y'all will create our character we'll follow through the game. Y'all can make fanfic or fanart about them if ya like and memes and stuff and I'll share on the stream at some point.

Alright. This is mostly for my moots as they are in these fandoms. But I'm tagging stream tags too, in order to get the word out.

And if y'all have any more suggestions of things y'all would want me to do, please let me know! I'm excited to get started again. Just wish I had a little better equipment LMAO. One day!

This got long. If y'all would like to see what my cute mascot looks like, lemme know on the post or shoot me a message. Thanks again for your time.

We've lived here for years and this is the first time I've seen a bear anywhere near our house.

Of course it's when I have to let the dogs out, and now I've got to wait until he leaves.

Just to be clear, I'm not scared for the dogs.

I fear for the bear.

[bartholomew-junior]

woe six (five actually) human souls designs be upon you. very fresh designs that will probably be more fleshed out in the future once i’m less busy

[fox-stuck]

I do not understand how to make it clear to the university that owes me hundreds of dollars that they need to pay me. It’s been over 2 months since I’ve invoiced them. 2+ weeks since I made it clear I need it this pay day and NOTHING!

[skeletalenjoyer]

NO
