Heyy!! How are you?<3
I just found your blog and I'm so happy I did! So I decided to leave a request for some hc's of the main 4 eddsworld boys finding out the reader is a stoner? Like they'll just get into the house and see the reader faded af and just being extra chill abt everything??
If you don't do multiple character hc's, then the same premise but only for Tord. Thank you lovely :))
Hiya !! I'm doing swell ! Hope ya are to :) !!
And awesome HC idea totally gonna write it out
Hope ya enjoy it ! (And sorry for the wait i've been busy busy !!)
The eddsworld boys with a stoner reader
(gender neutral reader)
Tord
- So Tord is DEF a stoner, you can't tell me other wise. So when he casually arrives home one day a lil earlier than the others and finds reader faded as hell he just fucking laughs.
- He def gets high with reader, he has a collection of funny lil bongs including a anime girl one he spent a shit ton of money on.
- Reader got munchies? He's got ya, he's got his own lil munchie stash in his room.
- Readers first time getting high? He'll call you stupid but help you through it, make sure you don't freak tf out
- You and him probably sit on the couch looking like idiots laughing at the dumbest shit (probably a dumb commercial Tord keeps rewinding back over and over)
Edd
- I don't see Edd as a stoner but he's okay with the 'lifestyle', though when he came back after a cola run and found Reader staring at the ceiling snickering here and there he's very concerned
- " Did Tord give you something from his stash? TORD !! "
- When he figures out YOU are ALSO a stoner he's like " oh "
- He's kinda curious about what it's like sometimes, especially since he's been casually watching you/Tord getting high randomly and looking like y'all are having the time of your lives.
- Careful if you actually let him get high with you, He's gonna freak tf out and get some bad munchies
- If he never gets high with you though he just kinda keeps an eye on you to make sure you're okay
Matt
- He's not a stoner, doesn't even know what a stoner is. So when he comes home and smells something 'bad' in the air he thinks it's a damn fire
- Idk why he thought it was a fire he just did, he sees smoke coming under your door and grabs a bucket and before you even know it he's thrown water in your room...on you.
- He killed your vibe
- He does apologize though at least
Tom
- He used to be a stoner, he kinda stopped after he got into Smirnoff and didn't wanna be juggling both y'know?
- When he comes home and sees you on the couch he just holds in a lil laugh and goes " i know that face, someones tripping balls"
- He MAKES you give him a hit on the blunt/bong/whatever (or an edible if you prefer edibles)
- He's a pro at this shit so he's chilling, and hopefully you are too. But a few mins in he'll get up and grab some snacks for you two.
- He isn't a very giggly high when y'all two are high but he's more 'idiotic', he'll find random photos and think they're the funniest shit known to man kind. He's also very hungry and thirsty when he gets high
- Tord is NOT allowed during y'alls high time
- He takes big breaks when getting high, so if you're a stoner that does it daily or day after day he's not gonna smoke with ya every day. He smokes like maybe once or twice a week? It really depends
Bonus:
Eduardo
- He judges you, but when he sees how chill you are when high he decides to take a hit. He gets mad when he doesn't get high from one hit
- Excuse him he's a lil dumb, you tell him it takes more than one hit and he just grumbles before taking another hit
- Once he's high with you he just sits there, you probably gotta check on him to make sure he's okay
- After that time he gets high with you whenever he can, dude probably needs it tbh
Jon
- He doesn't really understand but he's cool with it ! :D
Mark
- Mark prefers to not be around whenever you get high, it's not that he hates you being a stoner he just isn't into smoking and all that. He does warn you about the bad stuff with smoking though womp womp
Paul
- Dude doesn't care, he probably finds you high in the barracks at the red army base. He probably sits with you and smokes his own cigarettes just chilling with you
- " everybody needs a break every now and then, just don't be high while your work yeah ? "
- If you ask for anything to help get you down from your high so you can work he'll usually help (if he's in a good mood)
Patryck
- Judging
- He doesn't like that you're high during work, doesn't like the smell and doesn't like how you act while high
- gets a lil annoyed if he has to help you walk around or anything
- def never getting high with you, but he's def had a contact buzz before
Yippe ! Hope you enjoyed sorry if it seemed rushed at all

as someone who's been on this site since like 2008/2009, like before the infamous mtv commercial aired (iykyk), it's wild how much the etiquette has changed. or disappeared, entirely. once upon a time, people could speak freely about quite literally anything, assuming it was non hateful, and they'd be fine, so long as they stayed out of said tag.
for instance, the infamous bamon vs delena days. bamon stayed in the bamon tag, and delena stayed in the delena tag. yeah, shit got messy, ugly at times, but it was understood that if you don't like bamon and plan to speak negatively, just stay out the tag, and you good. and vice versa.
now a days, it feels like people can't say shit within fandom without being attacked and much worse. whether you tag a post with said topic or not. and, i don't mean not tagging wwe when discussing wwe. i mean, literally going on a scathing rant about a wrestler and tagging said wrestler.
like, i know for a fact i've been blocked by at least one or two accounts for calling cody 'ken.' which is crazy, cause i never been in that man tag nor am i required to like him. it's also my blog, and i can post what i want, so long as it's not hate speech/problematic?????
and don't get me started on the mean/hateful girl behavior.
idk. kinda sad to see how downhill things have gotten on here.

On anon purely because this is a tad more personal than I'd like to speak publicly! This is otherwise just a big thank you message
I've only ever kept chickens as pets before but I've always personally held myself to the standard of "if I'm not okay with killing it, I shouldn't be eating it". I've started raising quail on the side with the intention of processing them, but emotionally I've been holding them at arms length. Unlike my chooks, who are first and foremost pets.
Recently my eldest hen's health declined and I knew it was time to make the call because her quality of life was only going down. She was a commercial layer, you know how it goes. Because of an ongoing health issue with another pet coinciding with this, my savings are stretched super thin and getting her put down at the vets was borderline cost-prohibitive + due to location and transport issues she might have had to wait an extra day and I didn't want her feeling any worse or for any longer.
Before I'd found your blog, I genuinely don't think I'd considered it possible to have chooks as pets AND still process them when the time came. Honestly super silly of me, lol.
Giving context is kinda getting away from me, but basically I wanted to thank you! The knowledge that other people keep their birds as pets and love them just as much as I do but still cull them when the time comes was what I needed to go "okay. This is in the best interest of everyone involved. I can do this". It went smoothly, humanely and was completely bloodless. She didn't even have to suffer through a car ride.
I know you get some wacky asks re: culling chickens and I just wanted to give you a thank you instead. You talking frankly and openly about it has genuinely been so helpful and reassuring in what would have otherwise been an extremely distressing situation.
(Also I'm sorry I'm inadvertently the person going "my pet died" on the pet blog, in my bid to combat anon-hate I've kinda become anon-bittersweet lol)
I'm glad my blog was helpful to you. I want my blog to be a safe place to learn about chickens and raising them. I'm sorry about your hen the production layers leave us so soon đ

Iâm really excited for this IF. It kinda reminds me of those webcomics where the main character gets isekaid as a side character in an otome game who desperately tries to dodge the story, only to end up on one (or more) routes. Meanwhile, the comment section is readers desperately wishing she would just end up with the original gameâs protagonist who she has way more chemistry with. This is why Iâll be romancing Isla. Sorry if this is weirdly specific.
Wow, I know about isekais and transmigration but I never thought of it that way for this IF and what an interesting way to look at, thanks for sharing ginkgo! Donât be sorry, I love it so much 𫶠i hope youâll enjoy romancing Isla along the way đ
âŠand although you never asked, Iâll be sharing Isla Madison facts for you and other Isla romancers (I will soon be sharing other ROsâ facts too dw ^^)
Born on September 7 (Virgo).
5â5 (165 cm) in height.
An only child to a patriarchal family and she secretly hates it.
Great at Rubikâs cube, she used to join competitions in Diamond City, a city where she lives back in middle school.
Used to do ballet at some point before she joined a theatre guild in high school.
Had one commercial endorsing a shampoo on her last year of high school but decided she hated the growing limelight, much to her parentsâ disapproval.
Had a huge argument with her father when he learned that she wanted to be a nurse. Itâs why she strived to get a scholarship and work part time job to get what she wants.
She runs a secret blog where she reviews books and movies during her free time.
Had 3 ex-boyfriends.
Currently obsessed with cottagecore aesthetics.

Uh, genuine question, but what should non vegans and/or non vegetarians do to be respectful of vegans and/or vegetarians?
And also, a second more specific question, i get that unless the person has actually said something, irl wise itâs generally kinda dumb weird and probably a bit rude to go out of your way to avoid any mention of meat as food in front of a vegan/vegetarian, but online, where the rules are obviously different,
would it be good practice to tag posts that are about or mention meat or other animal products being used as food? Because i imagine even if you donât care it just might get a bit grating? Like when you keep having to hear a bout a fandom youâre apathetic about
Again, promise this isnât mocking or anything, these are genuine questions, đ i just believe that similar to religious beliefs, veganism/vegetarianism shouldnât be mocked and instead respected
None of this is dumb or weird! I think it's nice that you're trying to be mindful.
Personally, I don't think tagging for meat or animal products or stuff like that is necessary. I feel like 99% of the fast food ads I see on billboards or commercials is more obnoxious than like someone posting a pic of their dinner and talking about how good it was.
Tbh the only content I actually see on Tumblr that bothers me In A Vegan Way falls into one of two categories.
Exploitative Animal Images: idk to me this ranges from like mildly annoying to hellish. I feel like a lot of images of animals clearly in distress or in unsafe circumstances get passed around as memes a lot here and it's genuinely kinda disturbing. I mean obviously pictures of living animals captioned with something obnoxious about the kind of food you want to turn them into is one example.
Other stuff would be like videos of wild animals in domestic settings where they don't belong (I hope I never see another pet sugar glider video in my entire fucking life tbh) or like otherwise in captivity under CLEARLY shady circumstances (those tiger farms for example). Otherwise stuff like videos of people scaring their pets bc they make funny faces or silly noises about it. A lot of this stuff is pervasive in Internet humor or like cute animal pages and it can be easy to overlook but I think it's worth being critical of thinking about the circumstances animal content is produced under. Tbh I think this is a good internet rule in general - esp when it comes to meme images of violence and stuff like that.
The other category is probably more obvious and the thing I most frequently block/unfollow people over - please don't reblog weird anti-vegan propaganda. I feel like I don't really have to worry about this from you, anon, since you're clearly approaching from a respectful place but there's been what feels like a significant uptick in anti-vegan content couched in progressive language on this site recently.
From blatant misrepresentations of what veganism means to holding vegans solely accountable for stuff everyone does and/or corporate marketing, to weirdly hateful and defensive screeds - there's a LOT of really popular bad takes going around. And some of it is truly wild and really shows how little people read a post before reblogging it - a couple years ago I saw several majorly popular blogs on Tumblr reblogging an anti-vegan post that had lines about the "occult implications" of veganism buried somewhere in the text and it nearly drove me insane. More mundane examples would be the recent rise of 'vegans love to pollute with fake leather bc they're ignorant babies' type posts. A lot of these don't even have to be outright hostile to be annoying, but they all fundamentally fail to understand what veganism is about. It's not a health movement or an environmental movement or a 'lifestyle' movement - the #1 concern of veganism is animal rights.
Not saying there aren't overlapping concerns like environmentalism that can be used in the messaging, but at the end of the day whether something is good for your health or for the planet is a secondary consideration to 'does this system harm a living being unnecessarily.'
Anyway I hope that was a helpful answer!
Thanks for reaching out! Have a good one!

Critical Incident Live Blogging:
Season 1
Never heard about this show, not even commercials, but I saw it pop up on Hulu when I was going to watch X-Files so I'm giving it a try.
Since it's only 1 season I'm also gonna do a "is this worth watching?" If you're interested in the show and wanna know my thoughts without spoilers I'm going to link that post here!
Updates:
- Run
- so far this feels like an indie movie in a bad way
- EEW, I'M SORRY BUT THAT BOY
- GIRL YOU CANNOT BE INTO THAT, WHAT IS THAT HAIR???
- I cannot wait for the weird kid party shit to end so we can get to the real stuff
- eew not the outside dance alone
- EEW

- if this was America, those kids would've been shot. Honestly kinda jarring to see cops not draw their weapon on them, how fucked is that?
- oh hell they're gonna think it's her

- OH FUCK
- ok pretty solid first episode. I dunno where it's gonna go from here tho tbh
- Strip
- wtf girl

- of course the white cops think that her running is a sign of guilt. Definitely not because she's scared!!
- why did they all live together?
- what the fuck is wrong with this cop
- BRO WHAT
- bro really cannot handle the thought of a fucking period what a loser

- "we're forever babe" YOU COULDN'T EVEN STOMACH THE THOUGHT OF HER HAVING A PERIOD WDYM FOREVER
- girl drugs??? With the cops hounding you all the time??? GIRL
- great, now they're cheating

y'know this might be a weird thing to randomly post about on my sonic the hedgehog tumblr blog but fuck it, i gotta say some stuff about animals (mainly dogs because i have too many thoughts for one redundant post i should narrow in on a species)
i don't see this behaviour online but can people irl stop being gross about pet genitalia, especially dogs and stuff? like, do you think vets are pervs for touching your dog's genitals? no? okay so you can also touch them if it's for good reasons (not something sexual)
do you know how many weird looks i've gotten from people when i say i do all of george's grooming maintenance besides his full appointments? yeah, that includes touching gross stuff like his scabs, fecal residue, urine residue, paws, mouth, etc... because "wait you touch his butt? you touch where his balls used to be? that's kinda sus" DUDE HE'S MY DOG I GOTTA CLEAN HIM WTF??? like i'm not having a good time either trust me, he hates baths, but i'm going to ensure he's clean and healthy by checking his whole body for oddities especially as he gets older. this isn't weird, maybe i'm a bit extra because most people barely think about this stuff, but vet training and my love for animals means i'm gonna be extra (also he sleeps on my bed and frequently lays on my face or licks it when i'm unconscious: i can't prevent it these days but at least i can brush his teeth so i'm not THAT grossed out)
also, some animals (like aggressive large dog breeds) need desensitization training as they grow up. a black russian terrier i puppysat needed this treatment where you'd have to just touch him everywhere and if he's snappy with something like his paw or tail or genitals just desensitize him. no, not abuse and purposely torment an animal don't try to twist this into something negative, i mean condition these types of dogs when they're small so when they're 200+ pounds and have extremely dangerous biting power, they won't bite a kid's face off if they poke his butt or something. it doesn't matter if the kid's parents were neglectful or if the kid was in the wrong because if this turns into a legal battle, we all know the dog is gonna lose. sometimes this shit is a necessary precaution and when done correctly it can be so important for a dog's welfare
boots on dogs aren't just to be quirky. george wears rubber ballon-like boots not only to prevent matting/contamination when it's wet or snowy/icy outside but also for temperature reasons and salt especially. it's a fucking lifesaver, not animal abuse. same with his jackets because it's hard enough to walk him during a snowstorm: he won't shit if he's uncomfortable and that's not something either of us want to deal with. yes he has a few sweaters and a pajama but they're for short term special occasion use (and he really likes them lmao)
i think people should give their dogs vegetables more. safe ones, but it's good for them. george has allergies which means he's on a raw food diet (he gets raw duck twice a day) and in addition to his meals he likes snacks! yogurt treats, sliced veggies, some blueberries, etc etc and his dietary issues literally vanished. all those stupid kibble commercials about how "dogs crave real meat, give them that with these processed nuggets" piss me off like ITS CHEAPER (for where i live) TO JUST GET FROZEN PACKS OF MEAT??? i don't expect every dog (or cat) owner to invest time in this kind of diet for their pet but maybe they'd bite their paws and lick themselves less if they had some real food lol just sayin' and it can even limit your food waste to share some of this stuff with your pet! just make sure it's safe first
also, i sorta mentioned this before but check your damn pets. maybe not 500 times a day like i do (george has skin tags that burst sometimes it's not just my obsessive tendencies) but like how do you not see something is wrong??? if you see a lump or a cut or a bite or a bug or an irritated area or a knot DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT??? AT LEAST KEEP AN EYE ON IT??? idk it just seems weird to me when people are oblivious to their pet's health issues until it's serious
LAST THING BECAUSE I GOT BORED HALFWAY THROUGH WRITING THIS SINCE MY MEDS WORE OFF: brush your dog's fucking teeth. I DONT CARE IF THEY HATE IT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA PREVENT SO MANY POTENTIAL HEALTH THREATS AND ALSO SMALL DOGS LOSE THEIR TEETH FAST BUT IF YOU BRUSH YOU CAN DELAY THAT!!! george is 11 and has every single tooth because i brush them every week (i'd do it every day but look i don't want to die) and it does wonders. also his breath doesn't make me want to kill myself but this is also probably thanks to the cucumbers
ok that's all rant over sorry this wasn't organized i just kept saying shit lmao

Sixth and final commercial break! Sorry that this took longer to compile; as usual the last few minutes drops a bombshell that sends me into overthinking.
-Jeanetteâs brotherâs crush is Kateâs step sister?? What in the Romeo and Juliette is going on
-Yikes watch Jeanette regret telling her bro to go for it
-Speaking of, I donât even know her brotherâs name lol. He and Jaime and Jamieâs friend (whose name I donât remember either) all look alike and Iâm struggling to keep track of whoâs who
-Ok Kateâs stepsister being in the chat room is both good and bad. Good because it shows she cares about Kate and it means Kate will get the chance to vent and feel supported in the way she needs/feels comfortable with BUT what if her stepsister turns against her? What if itâs used as evidence to disprove her? I hope Kate isnât too trusting of who she thinks is another survivor because she already got burned from trusting Harris
-Oh no and her stepsister told Jeanetteâs brother about her username (maybe not directly but what if he connects the dots?)
-Did I see boxes of tampons when Kate woke up in the basement? Harris gives me conflicting feelings as to whether heâs stupid or not. Like he didnât expect Kate to fight back and looked incapable of winning a physical fight against her but at the same time he knew how to poison food and manipulate her psychologically from the start? And back to the tampons, did he panic and buy everything because heâs never held a girl captive before or was he very extensive in his planning? Sorry if this makes no sense lol. Kinda like how Joe Goldberg in You was both so bad at being bad but also so good at being bad?
-Couldnât someone see into the basement through the windows? I suppose it would be weird for people to creep onto private property and peer into basement windows though without a reason
-I really hope the tapes arenât destroyed. Kate doesnât need another thing to go wrong
-Also I hope the tapes donât contradict Kate.
-Also also the tapes reminded me of 13 Reasons Why and at first I was like oh nooo not this again but then itâs said that itâs her therapy tapes and I was like ohhhh ok so itâs legit and itâs not an unhealthy coping mechanism or an aesthetic choice that glamourises suicide notes like in 13RW
-WAIT ANNABELLE IS REAL? I mean was I wondering why she picked that name for her ghost story? Yes. Was I still shocked? Also yes.
-OH NO WAIT WAIT I HOPE IM WRONG EVEN THOUGH I LOVE BEING RIGHT BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE TOO TRAGIC. Is Annabelle another grooming victim? Is Annabelle the name of a gun that Harris was going to use to kill Kate and himself to avoid consequences a la murder suicide? Did Kate give birth during her drugged induced time being held captive?? Did she need all those tampons? If they even were tampons, I need to go back and pause. Was she so malnourished and/or stressed that her period stopped? Or did that bastard rape her and get her pregnant?! But then what happened to the baby? I may be totally off, but then again Kateâs family and the town are acting way too causal about what happened so anything is possible especially with this show
-Wait if Harrisâs story about his dad was true then it means he also died via gunshot, albeit it wasnât self inflicted in his case. Is it bad that I hope his story about his dad is true so that it means Harris died of the very thing that scarred him? Because that would be ironic poetic justice.
-GUYS IM SO SORRY MY MIND IS MAKING TOO MANY CONNECTIONS. What if Harris killed his dad? And thatâs why he didnât want to participate in the shooting because he didnât want people to know he could handle a gun and be capable of using it for violence? I want to know his backstory just for the sole purpose of then having even more reasons to hate him. And donât worry, this blog will stay a Martin Harris hate blog. He can NEVER be redeemed.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law #18: âGone Efficien...tâ | June 13, 2004 - 11:30 PM | S02E09
Birdman has yet to cinch the hat trick. We had two âactually, kinda okayâ episodes in a row and now this third one which is just stuff happening. Birdmanâs firm hires an efficiency expert and it somehow leads to Birdman having his office replaced by a greek diner that he also works at. Birdman throws himself into the wacky whims of his brainless boss for no good reason other than to make comedy happen. Lines have the cadence of jokes, like âthatâs not hummus, is it?â a joke that seems to imply bathroom stuff that wasnât really set up to begin with.
The case in this one is basically an afterthought, with Yakky Doodleâs name change. Why is that even being tried in a court of law? Maybe there was a line that explains it, but I was already busy trying to come up with new ways to say Birdman sucks in this write-up (itâs not going well). The ending reveal with his new name I actually did laugh out loud at, so Iâll keep that a nice surprise. By all means, watch this 12 minute bad cartoon to enjoy it.
(deleted paragraph at the end where all I do is brag about understanding the Raymond Burr reference)
MAIL BAG
I have a very vivid memory of the image of Shake's presumably dead corpse with an eyeball popped out giving me insomnia because I sometimes get insomnia from things like that instead of going to sleep and getting nightmares instead. For example just last week when I saw a freshly dead cat that had seemingly been placed on a piece of cardboard at a street corner. More like number none in the hood, g
YIKES! Please stop remembering stuff like this! Iâm getting a big scare! OUCH!
Top 10 Home Improvement episodes?
No fucking way am I doing this but I guess the one where JTT gets cancer is good, and the one where German syndicators watch a disastrous taping of TOOL TIME and think itâs intentional slapstick comedy and pick up the show. Genuinely good ep. Also the one where a producer on Tool Time wants to fire Al and the commercial break transition is a very somber image of Alâs face coming out of a cup of coffee and getting blown away into nothingness.
I feel like you are a kind of a hipster for not putting Mortgages and Marbles on your top 10 home movies list. You need a hot take to generate some buzz, I respect it, but it's so cool and it's maybe the only time Brendo Smalls metal music made me laugh (sorry Nathan and the Dethklok crew, but it's simply true).
LOL ânot puttingâ, IDIOT, I DID PUT IT YOU MORON. HAHAHA YOU LOOK SO FUCKING WRONG RIGHT NOW FUCK YOU
Kon writes:
I myself watched through Birdman 10 years ago (while you were doing the message board incarnation of the blog) and kinda had the same reaction of "damn, I don't really hate this anymore." I think the show did improve a lot when they started doing full seasons. And also, I'm not as mad at that type of humor as I used to be. Like I feel silly being mad about them "trying too hard to be funny" when you compare it to what say, Sealab was trying too hard to be at this time.
Yes we should have been way more furious at Sealab for defrauding the network we were all rooting for. I love rooting for networks, by the way. What a cool way to be
You could because those girls are wacko. Also any of them that have Antifa in their bios. Complete bird brains who shouldn't bear children. God willing, if you can't keep it in your pants, Marx Zuckerberg.
I assume this is in response to the DSA pussy joke I wish I deleted from my last post (because I thought Iâd get in trouble). Iâm sorry for starting this conversation. Please donât make it a running joke.

idk how to say this in a way that wont come across as whiny and dumb and make it even more apparent how autistic i am but whatever, its my personal blog, itâs meant to be a judge-free zone anyway. its not like im not putting out this thought to change how anyone feels about anything im just ranting.
pixar has been an important special interest of mine for decades (!) as their movies were literally some of the only movies i looked forward to seeing as a kid. i hated going to the theater because of the sensory nightmare of it all but braved it for pixar movies because they tickled my imagination so much. nearly every year had a new pixar movie which was a big event in my life for that year. i think they have struggled a lot since the 2010s especially as an over-focus on sequels happened (largely as a result of corporate disney grip) so donât assume by any means iâm uncritical of them. as with anything else i like, iâm not about to pretend like itâs golden all the time just because iâm a fan
but i feel like most of my mutuals now immediately want to assume negatively of pixar because theyre mainstream and un-vogue and pretend like the incredibly stagnant, unchanged western animation landscape they were born of didnât exist and how crucial their defiance towards it was for moving the medium forward. when it came to western animated movies we had disney movies and disney-imitation movies, that is to say, Fairy Tale Musicals and Other Fairy Tale Musicals. which, donât get me wrong, i love a good fairy tale musical, but pixar were special and not just for beautifully introducing & advancing 3d cg feature animation, but because their angle was telling completely new stories that challenged this whole format. it was absolutely a breath of fresh air. and the movies could be pretty genuinely touching too for both older and younger members of the audience, usually without even having to have melodramatic character deaths or anything. monsters inc. is pure character-motivated drama and the ending made me cry buckets as a kid and still does because the characters are lovable and relatable. you donât have to throw in a dead parents backstory or whatever for me to sincerely feel that emotion for them.
as we ushered into the 00s and walt disney animation, dreamworks, etc got a load of the critical and commercial success of pixar, their response was to copy the technology but very little of the creativity/heart. dreamworks i have come to realize at least with Shrek were still doing something pretty subversive albeit in a different direction that i think was forward-thinking but by and large, attempts to hop on the wagon of what made Pixar capture the worldâs attention were pretty misguided. i think as the 00s progressed more unique animated movies started coming out as things picked up real good around 2009 (you need only glance at the academy nominations that year to realize just how varied and good every entry was) so pixar kinda got left in the dust a bit in the 2010s, and the change of direction didnt help but my god, that doesnt override their significance in the whole pantheon of animation. but i feel like everyone is forgetting that and it makes me feel like im losing my mind that im the only person remembering just how crummy most other american animated movies of the 00s were. dont get me wrong im not saying that anyone who dislikes pixar or is critical of a movie of theirs is doing it to be some Mean Haterâą, but i feel that the level of negativity is strangely disproportionate to that of other animation studios which is like ??? is it just because people like them and have for years so now we have to turn that around arbitrarily?
idk i just feel like because other studios have stepped up their game some people discredit pixar entirely and that hurts. the thing that has sucked the most about it is how i donât even feel allowed to eagerly anticipate anything pixar is going to put out even when i want to because it has to immediately be couched in such harsh judgment and discourse, which /*AGAIN*/ is not me saying theyâre infallible and should never be criticized. anything and everything is open to criticism, i have my own apprehensions about some of their movies too. i just feel like the aura of negativity online surrounding each pixar release now leaves me an anxious mess while anticipating/watching the movie instead of going into it with the childlike wonder i want to go in with and could go in with because i feel like ppl are going to think iâm basic or just flat out stupid for liking the thing, no matter how sincerely.
which like, iâm not friggin basic. kanashimi no belladonna is one of my favorite animated movies lol. and so is up (the movie that made me interested in animation & storytelling as artforms), ratatouille, etc ... its almost like some mainstream things are good and popular for a reason?
this rant isnt even telling you anything, i know ive historically been overly sensitive to people being critical/negative about things that mean a lot to me and i need to get the hell over it, i just feel frustrated by everyoneâs relentless negativity these days and feel like at this point so much of itâs not even coming from good faith

THE SEEINâ DEAD MOD IS A BAND-AID FIX
gearbox locked zaneâs lazy fix behind a paywall
tl;dr: for the love of god, the seeinâ dead class mod should be what the seeinâ red capstone is and vice versa. also. MORE SYNERGY. also i redesigned all of Zaneâs trees and augments for more synergy youâre welcome.
is 1am and i donât want tomorrow and im angry and thinking about borderlands so this seems like the perfect time to immerse myself in remaking Zaneâs skill trees (for the 5th time). mainly because some of zaneâs skills are still irking me and iâve written extensive essays for the bl3 subreddit about the seeinâ dead class mod and just playing around with zaneâs skills in general, but i donât think iâve ever posted here before about it. so here we are. i notice i usually save lore/theories/characterizations for this blog and meta/balancing/gear talk for reddit. not sure why thatâs a split for me.Â
now iâve remade zaneâs skills a number of times, but honestly this was all before the seeinâ dead mod was released. then, instead of fixing his skill trees, i wrote a lot of essays about why that mod was a terrible bad decision on gearboxâs part (you can read one of the shorter arguments in a comment from 5 months ago here). Iâm just gonna remake the skill trees now with all his current abilities in mind.this post really should be titled: ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BALANCING DECISIONS
so imma just talk for a bit about why i love/hate the seeinâ dead class mod.Â
Obviously itâs a god tier mod, and you see almost no zane builds without it, and no top tier, can solo m10 true takedown builds without it (unless ur like, the 1% of masochistic players, in which case i salute you). and while that obviously means its a good mod, it also shows the problems with all his other class mods and his skill trees in general.
They all kinda suck. and that wouldnât be a problem, bc, hey, the seeinâ dead mod is ez to get, just pop on over to the casino and kill a few baddies and theyâll drop like candy. Which is really awesome!
slight problem.
the dlc is locked behind a PAYWALL
now this is a problem because if zane was a top tier character BEFORE the dlc, and everything was hunky dory and people werenât on their knees begging for gearbox to fix Zane, then him getting a new badass class mod wouldnât be such a big deal. but the problem was this was gearboxâs solution to giving Zane a buff.
they literally locked a buff for a character behind a pay wall.
I recommend Zane is every single person I try to convince to play bl3, but i always have to add this like, commercial-esque asterisk. you know, terms and conditions or, side effects or whatever. *you probably want to get the seeinâ dead mod if youâre looking at end-game play because unless you wanna struggle thatâs his only viable play style.
what if they donât want to buy the dlc?! for real...
Thereâs also the point that this class mod makes his (arguably) BEST capstone obsolete. so we have distributed denial which literally no one uses because its broken, double barrel which is always traded for seeinâ red or more points in other skills, and seeinâ red, WHICH WAS MADE USELESS BY THIS CLASS MOD
gsfdhjikdhgdaskjfhgaskdfjh
okay and it wouldnât even be so bad
IF THEY DIDNâT CHANGE HIS ENTIRE SKILL SET BEFORE RELEASE
like they lowered ALL his kill skills, then they turned Seeinâ Red into his capstone instead of Death Follows Close, meaning they nerfed Death Follows Close so it could fit as just a game changer. my poor boy was g u t t e d.
so, imagine this, everyone is reaching the end-game content of bl3. itâs a month or 2 weeks or whatever after the game dropped and people are finally hitting level 50. and moze/fl4k/amara are all killinâ it, and the zane players have to work their ASSES off to do like... 50% of that damage output (now, they did also eventually nerf the crap outta moze and fl4k but the point stands).Â
so instead of gearbox going: âoh... shit that pre-release nerf was an awful idea, revert the changes guysïżœïżœïżœ they decided to keep him gutted and then they released what was, in my opinion, a kick in the nuts with the maliwan takedown (aka the antifreeze mod, alongside the spiritual driver) ahahahahahaha. what good times it was. (I say this sarcastically.)Â
man i remember people were soooo livid with that class mod release. well, both of them. zane mains were pissed off (for good reason). âyes, letâs make the people who are begging for a straight damage increase jump through MORE hoops (LITERALLY) for a pitiful amount of damage. oh, also, letâs give their 28 skill point build to the strongest character in the game for free and also make it 10x betterâ. because it was 10x better than violent momentum (driver didnât have a damage cap) until they fixed both the spiritual driver and the violent momentum skill. it was the worst of times.
i will note here they did, around this time, let zane have stackable kill skills, but it was only 2 stacks and also it was still *incredibly* difficult to achieve stacks because zane just. struggled to kill anything. I still remember when i grinded the shit outta an antifreeze class mod and it took me over 20 minutes to kill Wotan my first time solo on m4. Not the fight UP to wotan. literally. just killing wotan.
then the seeinâ dead mod dropped and i had. a fuckin. 15 minute decrease to my time on killing wotan (5 minutes!!!!). now i am not perfect, and i 100% believe i couldâve lowered the time even more. but that... that shows a VERY CLEAR problem.
they never actually fixed zane, they gave him a class mod thatâs stupid OP just to make sure he could hang on next to the other Vault Hunters. itâs just a bandaid fix. you remove the class mod, and heâs back to pre-jackpot power levels (which will NOT hold up at m10, let me tell you).Â
all his pre-jackpot problems are still here, and thatâs why people are not using any other class mod of his. I bet we could have some really fun builds with the conductor mod! but nobody will ever use it because itâs just... not even close to the seeinâ dead mod.
So what does the seeinâ dead mod do that makes Zane so good?
IT BRINGS HIM BACK TO PRE-RELEASE VALUES
this mod, plus Death Follows Close, brings Zane back to pre-release zane. and i donât understand how gearbox isnât putting two and two together and going âOh.â
it also is a BETTER VERSION of Seeinâ Red!!! something players could have had at, like, level 15, but instead had to wait until they hit a capstone! the capstone is completely obsolete at this point. There is nothing seeinâ red can give you that seeinâ dead doesnât do but better. Getting that capstone is a w a s t e of skill points.
AND they locked this fix behind a pay wall!!! i cannot say that enough. you donât wanna get the handsome jackpot dlc?? guess u donât wanna play zane at endgame then. too bad, so sad.
have i stated that enough? because it still blows my fuckin mind. THEY LOCKED A CHARACTER FIX BEHIND A PAYWALL
djhdgakjhakjdah. imagine playing without any prior knowledge and being like, aw man i love this zane character. canât wait to get to max mayhem end game like all my favorite youtubers and friends!! then finding out you gotta drop 15 bucks or whatever it is just to actually be able to play at max mayhem level. that is not a skill difference, that is A BALANCING PROBLEM MY DUDES. like. my favorite zer0 build was still viable without the story DLCs. obviously grog > rubi, pimp > lyuda, rapier > law but, it was still fuckin viable.
guh. gufhgufhsdgkfjsdh. it bothers me.
ok so thereâs a lot i just went over: my main issue? is that by making Seeinâ Red a capstone, they did nothing to make it an actual legit capstone. They definitely nerfed Death Followed Close to make it a gamechanger, but they never gave Seeinâ Red a buff to move it from a gamechanger to a capstone. It was the same exact skill. Seeinâ Dead is what Seeinâ Red SHOULD be and thatâs what angers the crap outta me. they locked this obvious fix behind a pay wall (AND a gear slot!!!!!) n ur probably thinking âbut cruddy this WAS really nice of them to try and fix zane... they couldâve just let him be suucâ and like, yeah, they couldâve, and it is good theyâre TRYING, but also, theyâre leaving the people who DONâT buy the DLC high and dry.
keep in mind i DO own the dlc. have the season pass and everything. IM STILL MAD!!!
Zane should be strong no matter what class mod the players want to use. Same with Amara, same with Moze, same with Fl4k. FFS, it is not that hard. CHANGE THEIR SKILLS!!!!!
so im gonna be taking the time to go over all of zaneâs skills and shit just to put him more on par with the others (WITHOUT THE SEEINâ DEAD MOD)
imagine the seeinâ dead mod doesnât exist for this. weâre gonna make a balanced character since apparently THATâS TOO HARD FOR A TRIPLE-A BALANCING TEAM
first things first, the tree with the most fuckin problems:Â
Under Cover
oh god this tree is a fucking train wreck what the hell were they thinking. good god. my eyes. theyâre burning.
not actually, but it still kinda sucks.
Action Skill: Barrier is fine. I would not add the âpicking it up decreases benefitsâ when Zaneâs whole schtick is running around fast. You get the full bonus no matter what form itâs in. also, you can hold down the action skill activation button to deploy the barrier directly on yourself.
Tier 1: Hearty Stock is a trap. never get this. so dumb. no synergy with his other skills. Adrenaline is okay, but not really great during end game. Ready For Action is similarly okay. Just a very MEH start to this tree.Â
Adrenaline: Zane gains increased Action Skill Cooldown Rate. 10% per level, up to 50%. this shouldnât be tied to his shields being full because if your barrier is down (cooling DOWN)... your shield is taking damage. câmon now. THINK GEARBOX T H I N K
Hearty Stock: (maxed) Zane and his clone gain 5% magazine regeneration while an action skill is active. This skill stacks. In itâs original state, this skill is such a trap skill. for real.
Ready For Action: i mean, itâs fine. Weâll keep it. +30% shield recharge rate and -29% (why????) recharge delay
Tier 2: ech. Stiff Upper Lip is not that good. Brain freeze is what u really want. Rise to the Occasion is also okay.
Brain Freeze: keep the same.
Stiff Upper Lip: when Zane is damaged with a hit that would break his shield, he gains (max) +20% bonus gun damage on his next shot through the barrier.
Rise to the Occasion: Zane and his clone gain health regeneration. +5% max health/s. Not determined by shield availability.
Tier 3: `screams in confident competence` oh lawd. this skill is good. the accuracy thing is kinda laughable. i tell you, i always thought that zane was originally meant to be the sniper with the Under Cover tree but they decided to swap Zane and Fl4kâs skills. which is why Zane has soooo many accuracy buffs.
Confident Competence: fine the way it is. I would also add, since this IS a game changer, that the Barrierâs damage amp is now 40%.
Tier 4: ew. tier 4. Really Expensive Jacket is literally the only skill you might want to get and EVEN THEN. ugh. Best Served Cold is so pointless. and so is Futility Belt. YOU TAKE MORE DAMAGE WITH IT
Really Expensive Jacket: Elemental Status Effects have reduced duration (-50%). Additionally, Zane is not slowed by Cryo anymore.
Best Served Cold: Remove the cooldown. Buff up the damage at least 200%. Make it an AOE Brain Freeze. That is, the cryo novas stack and if overkill damage is high enough, enemies hit with the novas freeze. Kinda like a discount Frozen Heart.
Futility Belt: HA. Ahahahahaha. Ha. Zane gains resistance to non-elemental and cryo damage (+15%). Futhermore, after killing an enemy, Zaneâs barrier gains additional cryo damage (+20%) for 8s.
Tier 5: is oki. My only real complaint is with Nerves of Steel. Like. Seriously.
Refreshment: god tier skill actually. Keep the same.
Best Served Cold: also keep the same. The only change I will make is this: resetting your action skillsâ cooldowns counts as action skill start and end.
Nerves of Steel: The longer Zaneâs barrier is active, the more stacks of Nerves of Steel he gains (a maximum of 15). For each stack, Zane gains 2% shock damage, 2% cryo efficiency, and 1% damage to frozen enemies. (why shock damage? cryo doesnât do well against shields.)
Tier 6: *cries in the worst capstone in the entire series* WHO DID THIS. WHY. WHATâS WRONG WITH YOU???
Distributed Denial: no. just. no. scrap this whole damn thing. IT DOESNâT EVEN WORK!!!! either fix it COMPLETELY or do something else. My recommendation? Whenever Zane throws down his barrier, his shield instantly begins recharging. If Zaneâs shield is already full or recharging, enemies with no shields (or freeze immunity) that touch Zaneâs Barrier for the next 10s are instantly frozen.
Augments: why the hell do i gotta place my barrier down when my entire fuckinâ character is about RUNNING. ALSO JUST AS A BLANKET STATEMENT: ALL THESE AUGMENTS WORK 100% EVEN IF HIS BARRIER IS PICKED UP. SO DUMB. a fully pointless restriction.
that last sentence immediately fixes Charged Relay and Nanites or Some Shite.
Redistribution: If his shields are full, Zane can sacrifice 50% of his shields to have his next shot deal 100% bonus cryo damage by holding F.
All-Rounder: Fine as is. Only thing I would add: whenever Zane melees an enemy, his shields are drained by 50% and his sliding augment is added to the melee attack.
Deterrence Field: Fine as is. But! I would add: whenever Zane sprints into an enemy, his shields are drained by 50% and slam augment is activated.
THAT WAY we can have both slam/sliding relics actually DO SOMETHING. because my god theyâre so useless rn.
alright, moving on.
Hitman
Tier 1: is okay. nobody ever takes cold bore. ever.
Violent Speed: fine as is, but weâre taking it back to pre-release values. Max: 30%. can stack 2x.
Cold Bore: Zane gains (max) 20% bonus cryo damage to all shots fired while moving.
Violent Momentum: fine as is, but taking it back to pre-release values. 30% gun damage at default walk speed. Additionally, Zane can now shoot while sprinting.
Tier 2: my boy zoomer needs more fun.
Cool Hand: fine as it is. I would buff his base reload speed up to 20% and kill skill reload to 20% as well. 17 and 13 are such weird numbers.
Drone Delivery: fine as it is. Additionally, Zoomerâs base shots now take on the element of Zaneâs grenade mod.
Salvation: fine as it is. I wonât mess with this bc life steal is messy business (coughs in grog)
Tier 3: hhhynf.fdsg.Â
Death Follows Close: Kill Skill Bonus: +30%. Kill Skill Time: +7s. Additionally, enemies targeted by Zoomer take 5% more damage from Zane.
Tier 4: these two skills are actually p dope by themselves. it can stay as it is. I would MAYBE increase the violent violence max buff up to 20% but thatâs just me.
Tier 5: ahahahaha. this skill. just remember, weâre pretending Seeinâ Dead doesnât exist, so imagine how this skill looks next to calm cool n collected. so pointless.
Good Misfortune: Killing an enemy with a critical hit adds (max) 10% efficiency to Zaneâs kill skills for 8s. This does not stack.
Tier 6: WEâRE GONNA MAKE YOU RELEVANT AGAIN BOO HANG IN THERE
Seeinâ Red: Zane has a (4%) chance to activate his kill skills upon dealing gun damage to an enemy. Additionally, enemies targeted by Zoomer now take 15% more damage from Zane.
so why didnât we make good misfortune the infinite action skill build?? BECAUSE THATâS WHAT CCnC IS SUPPOSED TO DO!!! why have 2 skills that do the exact same thing AT THE EXACT SAME TIER except ONE IS OBJECTIVELY WORSE!!!!!
what happens to the Seeinâ Dead class mod if weâre giving its perk to this capstone? Iâm so glad you asked. âZane activates his kill skills when activating his action skills. Additionally, the kill skills activated this way have 15% more efficiencyâ. look how much better balanced that is!!!! thatâs a class mod!!!!!!!!
Augments: these arenât THAT bad, but they could be a lot better.
Winterâs Drone: Zoomer gains 20% bonus cryo damage to all shots.
Bad Dose: pump these numbers up. Fire Rate: +7% per affected enemy. Movement Speed: +10% per enemy. everything else is fine.
Boomsday: just make this more beefy. fr. Itâd be a good choice if it were stronger.
Static Field: also fine. I would again give it better damage output, but thatâs just me.
Almighty Ordnance: remove the build up honestly. Like i get the vibe and itâs really cool, but in combat it just DOESNâT WORK. maybe if Zoomer is targeting an enemy, he will unleash the missiles if they are above 50% health after 30s or something. I honestly think these should have a debuffing factor instead of a damage factor (you know, to not get in the way of boomsday). maybe something around 15%? the 1x per action skill activation thing would be easily subverted with CCnC with the changes we suggested, so it could work.Â
Doubled Agent
ahhh, Blane. Blue Zane. Love ya, buddy. One change: he prioritizes pinged targets. That way you can kinda get him to fight specific people. Also, lower the teleportation timer. pls.
Tier 1: actually p good. could be better, but its not bad.
Synchronicity: Zane gains 20% bonus damage per active action skill. While Zane has an action skill active, he gains a stack of Synchronicity. Max Stacks: 10. For each stack of Synchronicity, Zane gains 5% Action Skill Cooldown Rate and 2% Action Skill Damage.
Praemunitus: Zane and his digiclone gain (max) 30% magazine size.
Borrowed Time: For each action skill active, Zane gains 30% action skill duration. The longer Zaneâs action skills are active, he and Blane gain a higher Fire Rate and faster Reload Speed, up to 20%. (the idea is you choose between this or synchronicity bc... either permanent action skills build or fast paced action skills build)
Tier 2: Donnybrook is fun. Fractal Frags is fun. Duct tape mod is a GODDAMN DISAPPOINTMENT
Donnybrook: fine as it is. I might buff the max numbers up to 20% gun damage and 3% health regen. But thatâs really it.
Fractal Frags: Blane will periodically toss a grenade from Zaneâs stockpile at his targeted enemy (cooldown: 20s). Kill Skill: Blane has a 45% chance to throw a free grenade.
Duct Tape Mod: this skill... why... No cooldown. NONE. Zane has a 1% chance to also fire a grenade from his gun. Kill Skill: This is increased to 15% for 8s (stays at 1% for the whole time, but the kill skill will increase by 3% for each tier)
Tier 3: Actually Quick Breather is one of my favorite skills. this can stay.
Quick Breather: Same as is. Additionally, Zane and his clone gain 25% Gun Damage after swapping places for a short time (8s). I really wanna promote swapping places. Itâs really underutilized. theyâve ADDED stuff to this skill already!!! even tho it didnât work until the next patch. BUT THEY SHOW ITS POSSIBLE TO ADD TO SKILLS!!!
Tier 4: actually a really good tier. a few minor changes.Â
Pocket Full of Grenades: Kill Skill: Zane gains (max) 15% grenade regeneration for 8s. If Zaneâs grenades are full, any excess grenades are shot from his gun with 25% bonus damage.
Old-U: If Zane falls into FFYL while his digiclone is active, he can press the action skill activation key to destroy his clone and gain a second wind. When he does this, he takes the place of his clone. His clone will also drop a grenade when it is destroyed.
Supersonic Man: Zane gains increased movement speed for each active action skill: (max) 15% each. Additionally, teleportation is considered to be Zaneâs maximum speed for its duration and 5s after.Â
Tier 5: oh god oh fuck oh god.
Like a Ghost: Oh god why. Zane and his digiclone gain a (max) 15% chance to ignore all damage while teleporting and for 7s after.
Boom. Enhance: actually a pretty swell skill. I would probably add Health Regen +3% per grenade tho. Blane needs help a lot.
Trick of the Light: bring back the shock damage. Zane deals 40% bonus shock damage for 7s after swapping places with his clone.
Tier 6: oh ngl I actually love this capstone lol
Double Barrel: Zaneâs digiclone gains a copy of Zaneâs current gun when it is deployed (and all the anointments work and he actually fires it like a reasonable person). Zaneâs clone now deals damage equal to Zaneâs base weapon damage. Upon swapping places, both Zane and his digiclone deal 50% bonus damage for 7s.
Augments:Â
Binary System: is okay. Kinda uhhh underwhelming tho. Buff up the damage and also maybe reduce teleportation time.
Schadenfreude: I like this one a lot. Zaneâs shield is restored by 100% of the damage his digiclone takes and vice versa.
Dopplebanger: lower the waiting time. I get that u donât wanna override the teleportation, but itâs really annoying. Buff damage and donât make it dependent on action skill duration. If this explosion kills an enemy, the clone is reactivated with 50% action skill duration.
Which Oneâs Real?: Iâve never actually felt this work. Maybe for like 2 seconds? Make it work more like Zer0âČs hologram or Timmyâs Jack clones or smth. Maybe give an activation cue? im v lost with this one. Enemies targeting Zane take 30% more damage from the digiclone.
Digital Distribution: 75% of the health damage Zane takes is distributed to his clone instead. The digiclone gains 5% Health Regeneration/s and sends out 3 [level specific damage] shock spikes to enemies that attack it.Â
literally all Zane needs is SYNERGY. if they can change a few skills, pump up a few numbers, and ffs fix the seeinâ red/dead capstone/mod, theyâd be in FUCKIN BUSINESS
but no instead
THEY LOCKED THE BUFF BEHIND A PAYWALL.
WHYYYYYY
#>:(#borderlands#im not redirecting my anger im legitimately angrey about this wat u mean#bl3#zane flynt#but actually this is such a frustrating thing to deal with
