So much of my experience with internet fandom culture has been defining by feeling like I arrived late to the party. It's like showing up and the table's still set, there's food and drinks (the art, fics, and general posts people leave behind) but no one is actually there to talk to and enjoy it with.

I remember being about 12 and finding abandoned forums where people had talked about the stuff I was interested in, and thinking damn, if I'd just been here earlier I could have been part of this, instead of watching the sand blow over it. And then that repeated itself again and again for the next 15 years. People who were the backbone of a small fandom leave, or switch hyperfixations, and all that's left is posts with broken links.

Of course I'm not saying that's wrong or bad, it's just lonely. And I still firmly believe in posting about niche stuff you like even if you're seemingly the only one who cares at the time, because someone else trawling through old posts may find it and enjoy it. But I'd also rather have that person as a friend to share it with in the present.

#idk!! maybe it's just my fault for not getting into big fandoms #or following CURRENTLY ONGOING media #this feeling has been with me again for the last couple of months mostly in relation to the tron fandom #not that the people in it now aren't great. i love you guys!! but i wish i could have seen the 2010-2012 peak #this post itself is prompted by figuring out that a follower of mine and one of our mutual mutuals (lmao. phrasing)#got really into david warner like 2-4 yrs ago (at which time we did know each other but didn't talk as much anymore)#and i only found out like. 2 days ago #(also jachym if you somehow see this. lol.)#its like. the degrees of separation here can be so small! and yet

Oh my GOD I am obsessed w @roguespodcast. I'm not really a fan of the "superhero genre," let alone DC specifically, but I still ended up binging the whole thing in like a week??? Help Me

I wanted to practice comic dialogue + expression, and this scene (on top of being one of my favorites from the whole show) felt like a great way to do that!! I really wanted to visualize the way Jon and Scarecrow's voices layer when he talks, plus trying to structure Ed's nervous babbling without a huge wall of text was fun. I've definitely gotta draw more -- this was just a quick and messy thing, but I wanna do something that does the stellar voicework justice

#my art #rogues! the podcast #rogues podcast #codotverse #jonathan crane #scarecrow #edward nygma #the riddler #the reason jon doesn't have a shadow is bc of a hc I stole from @stationk17 #that being that scarecrow is a spirit haunting him that's always in his shadow -- when scarecrow's in control he doesn't have one #I found out like 2 hrs ago that codot confirmed it to be did but I already had 7 pages finished w that idea in mind so </3 #GOD I wanna do the rest of this scene too but. I did all this over the course of a day and a half so I think perhaps I should Rest My Hand #I'm so hooked girl the only propaganda more powerful than your mutuals is a boyfriend w autism #animal death #unsettling

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh

#hsr #honkai star rail #hsr 2.2 #hsr spoilers #hsr leaks #the body of this post reads as far less enthusiastic than i really am #i just don’t know how to casually return from my latest 2 week hiatus only to gush abt a game i’ve hardly blogged abt before #but i’m not making a whole ass sideblog for it like i did for Genshin. nah y’all r gonna bear witness to my fixation with this one #so anyways don’t mind me. vibrating into another dimension with anticipation for the next 11 days #it’s insane man. a year ago i Never ever woulda thought i’d be so invested in this game. and it took Months for the game to really grab me #but i’m v glad i kept coming back even when i was struggling to really get into it. like i just had this feeling that if i stuck around and #gave the game a chance to really like. come into its stride. i just always felt like there was Something there and i just hadn’t found it #and holy shit i finally found it in Penacony. the devs really truly outdid themselves with this region and these characters and this story #not to discount everything that’s happened prior. like i was genuinely Liking it all before now but i wasn’t Loving it y’know #but that may be more a ‘me having to fight tooth n’ nail to force myself to consume new media’ thing than it is a matter of the actual game #anyways i came here to talk abt the program! bc since i’m not filming my HSR stuff i’m gonna be insufferable abt it on Tumblr instead ! :)#and i’m probably not filming any more Genshin stuff. or anything else at all for that matter but let’s not talk abt that dead dream #pun not intended lmao. Anyways let’s return to the subject at hand while there’s still room left in these tags shall we #i’m so fucking glad they had Aventurine on this program man. especially since he’s leaked to only have 18 lines in 2.2… it was nice to see-#-him here at least 🥹 i’ll take what i can get. his unenthusiastic little bird noises at the beginning.. him being reluctant to come out..#the way one of the first things to come out of his mouth was ‘y’know DR RATIO once told me…’ like boy we get it ur in love with him 🙄 (/J!)#i love how they can’t go on these programs w/o talking abt each other it’s adorable. AND THE WAY HE WAS THE ONE TO EXPLAIN BOOTHILL’S KIT!?#they can’t just fuel my crackship like this… god and his whole ‘muddle-fudger.. son-of-a-nice-lady?’ thing had me wheezing #Aven mocking Boothill’s inability to curse was not on my special program bingo card but fuck i’m here for it #and Robin being all curious abt him was so cute.. ‘who /is/ he? … does he order milk at the bar?’ i’m crying she’s so sweet #also the trailer was fucking insane. which feels redundant as hell bc all of HoYo’s version trailers go hard but like. still. wow.#that millisecond long shot of Boothill surveying the skyline is so fucking good. also what the fuck is Jing Yuan doing here!!#not complaining at all tho. we’ve got JY & DH(IL?). Argenti(?). Boothill. Sunday. Aven. all my men r here and i am eating so fucking good #Seven.txt #viddy game stuff

people are really saying FNAF was "OG Markiplier"?

Try SCP Containment breach. Or Slender. Or even Amnesia, Dark Descent.

I feel so old seeing people say that btw, and I'm 24. Lmao

#i remember when markiplier played fnaf for the first time #shit was scary as hell. the lore and the games were so mysterious and dark #i mean. they still are. but once the 4th game came out it started to get a bit stale #and i found the 4th game scary. not for long tho #i think the first 2... even 3 games were creepy asf #still think they are. i cant even bring myself to play them #i cant play horror games because i suck at them and i get scared easily #i havent watched markiplier in so long... he's changed a lot #and that's not a bad thing. pretty cool that his YT career has been successful over the years #but i cant bring myself to idolise real people again. im not like that anymore #i watch his old vids from time to time for nostalgia reasons but thats it #same with PDP... And I stopped watching him before i stopped watching mark #i feel old talking about this #it feels so long ago but it was only 12 yrs ago...#ramblings #before anyone comes at me about watching pdp i was a young impressionable teenager #when i was watching these youtubers. so forgive me #i stopped watching him for obvious reasons. like the controversial shit #and he just kinda changed and i didnt like his vids anymore so i stopped #damn there are kids these days who dont know the old markiplier memes #like 'everybody do the dinosaur' or 'poof!'#GOD I MISS IT

#so far in my sporadic picking away at various manga series i feel i have the weirdest reader relationships with JJBA and Attack on Titan #when reading JJBA i am not really that invested in the characters or even whats happening to them and yet i still never decide to dnf it #and i dont even know what it is that keeps me reading except that its just very unique i suppose?#such an odd combo of different things that somehow manages to eventually have its own sorta cohesive logic and charm #also the art is just fun. its ornate and goofy and macho and flamboyant and gross #but as soon as i put it down i stop thinking about it too #and dont feel like picking it up again for at least several more days #with attack on titan i found the art style mostly really bad at first ngl #it reminded me of awkward drawings a high schooler would make like the inconsistentness #of like there are good action poses here but the people also look weird ugly bland and stiff and the backgrounds are often so empty #idk i was feeling pretty blah about it but something about how starkly straight-forward the story is was interesting to me #where its literally exactly what you heard its just #theres a bunch of humanoid giants attacking our city #and we have to stop them. that's it #and also the awkwardness of the art style i find works extremely well when it comes to the titans #like they are genuinely creepy to me. and they do actually feel massive the way theyre drawn. and the mystery around them interests me too #anyways im like 60% through part 1 of jojo(also read most of part 4 a few years ago) and only on vol 3 of AoT #but yeah those are the 2 series i have the most mixed feelings about so far #wouldnt say i love or hate either of them but still also continue to want to find out more #13readsmanga #p

tfw it seems like your job genuinely couldn't care less about your wellbeing :)

#the first time i got covid was at my last job and after that i developed the immune suppression and chronic ear infections that have been #ruining me for the past 2 years #then yesterday we found out that the kid i sent home sick friday (who i spent most of the day 1-on-1 with bc they were miserable) tested #positive friday night. but they didn't have an official diagnosis so work refused to tell families there had been a close contact. then this #morning we hear that another of my kids and their parent both tested positive. but those were 'only' home tests so we weren't allowed to #tell families there had been yet another close contact. all of my kids today were boogery and coughing but they don't require test-to-stay #or any isolation for close contacts with 'mild' symptoms. so i have gotten to spend 3 days now with at least 2 positive infants. i'm still #not even fully over the mild cold and subsequent infection i got 2 weeks ago. i tested negative again last night but there's just no way i #actually won't get it even if my home tests say i'm negative.#this is the first week back to school for older siblings. and they didn't warn anyone about a close contact over the long weekend when #i'm sure a bunch of families had gatherings. i'm just so fucking pissed. why tf do you think we're still seeing this shit????#our policies at work are treating covid 'like any other mild illness' so not only are all of my classroom INFANTS all being exposed but also #me and my co-teacher!!! and they don't care at all!!!!!!! there is a solid chance that when i get it it'll be v e r y bad for me #but who gives a shit? i'm just another disabled pos who shouldn't be working if i can't risk getting sick. bc that's how life works right?#i don't have words to explain the level of rage i feel over all of this. i'm so fucking tired of it.#pretty sure i use a different tag every time but #covid #chronically ill #stochastic ramblings

I still have 5 hours left in my shift 😭😭😭

#I just….#really wanna go home today #not having a good day. I started my period this morning and then I got to work and found out only me and one other opener were there but our #opening manager wasn’t here yet so she was late and we spent the next 20 minutes rushing to get everything set up before we opened #and then we immediately started getting customers and it’s just been busy and I’m tired and just don’t feel good bc of my period #and then so far I’ve had 2 of my least favorite customers come through the drive thru where I’m working #one is this dude who’s just fucking annoying another is the guy that asked for my number a few months ago who I haven’t seen since I turned #him down so I took his order and then made someone else deal with him at the window #and then it got busy with everyone ordering drinks like hot coffees which meant I had to walk from our drive thru out to the lobby bc my #coffees were out bc everyone wants coffee today but when I would do that I would still have to be taking orders #and then someone cleared a few specialty coffees off the barista screen without making them while the person was sitting in the drive thru #so I had to make those while doing other stuff too and people were asking me questions #and I was just getting very overstimulated and annoyed plus I’m hungry #and I just want to leave and go home and sleep but it’s my best friend’s birthday so she’s probably gonna want to do something later but I #just don’t feel up to it and I know she’s probably ready to hang out because she’s been off for 10 days with Covid so she’s well rested now #for her birthday but 😭😭😭 I just want to crash into my bed so hard and not wake up until noon tomorrow #also the coworker I work with every day and don’t like is here today unfortunately #and also all of the speakers we use to play music in the back are dead right now and I just want to play music #first world problems but I have so little patience today

what the absolute hell was the empiressona discord. this is a genuine question if anyone knows things about it I would love to know. I just found out about it's existence and I feel like an archaeologist asking for ancient texts

#I was tlaking to a friend and went 'it'd be funny if there was a discord server where people pretned to be empires citizens'#so I went looking for an empires discord #and found multiple mentions of an empiressona discord #naturally my curiosity was piqued #so I went on a journey to find out how to join it #and I did find a link. from 2 years ago #so clearly that wasn't enough #I went to google instead. perhaps it had more informating on darker places #such as twitter or; god forbid; reddit #I come accross a video called 'the fall of the empiressona discord'#I am once more incredibly intrigued #turns out scott himself joined it for a day #I then decide to try to see if the old link works #if only for the opportunity of exploring a likely dead landscape #alas; it does not work #so I come to tumblr instead and make this post #documenting my journey in case future me ever stumbles accross this #and if anyone has information please tell me I am SO curious

if you want to know how good I am at simply Not Knowing things I didnt find out until today that jacksepticeye is Irish

ive been a Tumblr user since 2011 and a YouTube user since like 2008

#and I only found out cause I was watching a vlog and she had him on in the bg #im being dead serious here I didnt know #ive never really interacted with that area of YouTube #the closest I got was being into pewdiepie very very briefly and that was 10+ years ago #I never watched markiplier I dont like him #and by extension just never poked into jacksepticeye #none of my friends growing up were super into him either so I just never even heard about him #I was also running in superwholock Tumblr and there was a LOT of crossover with superwholock Tumblr and YouTube Tumblr #somehow the lines never crossed for me #I didnt realize till like 2 years ago that Dan and Phil are British #again never went near their content #my friends are having a field day with this #im very very good at simply Not Knowing things
