You whisper in my ear “The IT fandom is dead”
I shove my hand in your face and look daringly into the sun “No, it’s not. Not yet it isn’t. I’m still here and so is a couple of other clowns.”

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(
#autism#neurodivergent#adhd#fun facts#GOD I’m such an idiot#anyways now a 10 year old is out there looking up swear words online and it’s all my fault :(#I got so excited by the fact that I knew a fun fact#that I didn’t stop to think that maybe not everyone knows that fun fact for a reason :(#it’s like explaining how to successfully bury a body at a book club#or explaining the dangers of Scientology to your sister’s boyfriend the first time you meet him#or debating gay sex positions with your best friend in front of your mom#no matter how much I wish to be a beacon of knowledge in this world#sometimes there are things others just don’t want to know#and consciously that’s valid but the autism ? I does not care

Maybe it’s because I just spent the last four days watching my sister’s toddlers while mildly sleep deprived, but I gotta say Peri has PEAK “childfree young adult who was the youngest person in their family naively volunteers to watch recalcitrant child assuming they’d automatically be The Cool Adult Relative only to realize they have no idea how to balance being indulgent with being responsible and gets overwhelmed within five minutes” energy
10/10 I have never felt so seen by a cartoon before
#peri cosma#dev dimmadome#the fairly oddparents#fop a new wish#spoilers#side note I’m pretty sure I heard Hazel’s dad call her ‘Hazelnut’ and it is the most precious thing I’ve ever heard#I think I love the Wells family lol#the sun shines#should I keep tagging his old name? pretty sure everyone knows they’re the same character by now and his new tag seems pretty well#established by this point#for the record my sister’s kids still think I’m the coolest person so I did SOMETHING right but Y’ALL I FELT PERI SO HARD HERE#broke 100#broke 500#broke 1000

Okay, I know the current thought is that Vi’s death triggered Silco and Vander’s reunion and thus the birth of Zaun as a thriving society, etc.
But I keep getting stuck on Silco’s eye…
Like, it just looks so healthy and healed, like he’s never injected Shimmer into it. And the Silco we meet at the beginning of S1 is def using Shimmer already, and also has been working with Singe to make it something he can deal on the streets and use to gain power.
So I don’t think Silco and Vander reconciled after Vi’s death, I think they reconciled closer to Vander trying to kill Silco. I think Silco went back to their place in the mines and found Vander’s letter. Just like Silco’s eye isn’t severely damaged, their relationship didn’t have time to fester and rot. They forgave and moved forward.
Which also means that when Vi died, Vander isn’t the only one who lost a daughter. Silco lost one, too.
#and now i’m sad#vander arcane#silco arcane#silco#vander#zaundads#vanco#can also be gen but y’all know I love that old man yaoi

ended up being 11 hours at the emergency clinic. I have a pro strat of biting the inside of my mouth to stop myself from crying, but 11 hours straight of that has left it a bit shredded
#It just took so long before pangur got treatment#bc she wasnt immediately dying so she got put as low priority#and then the vet tech gave me a speech about how they can’t guarantee she’ll recover when they finally saw us#I’m a wreck right now#this is the third time in her life she’s been hospitalized for pancreatitis and she’s always pulled through before#but she’s so old and fragile now

I want to talk about this take from my main blog because I want to double down on it.
I truly think that Veilguard is a bad Dragon Age game.
I don’t mean to sound like a bitch, but I really hate that people feel like this is a good Dragon Age game. I hate that people use the excuse that Dragon Age reinvents itself every game in its defense. I hate that people think that this is what a Dragon Age game is. And I’ve been hearing that this is “still a Dragon Age game” even from some critical reviews.
My rebuttal, if I was being flippant, is that the vibe is simply off. It doesn’t feel right.
If I have to put my disappointment and anger into words, I would say:
No, the heart of the games has never changed. The idea that your worldview is shaped by your past and that you can be a hero or a villain depending on who tells the story has never changed. Navigating complex and sometimes race/class-based politics has never changed. The ability for you to earn approval and disapproval based on personality-defining dialogue choices and/or meaningful choices hadn’t changed. Being able to go up and talk to characters (companions most of all) to learn about who they are and how Thedas has shaped them has never changed. Companions not solely based on tropes and nebulous ideas of what makes a cute relationship used to exist. Lore reveals were handled with care and sprinkled throughout the game rather than thrown at you one after the other. Gameplay never used to insult your intelligence by handing you an explanation to everything within seconds of being presented with a problem. This series of roleplaying games used to let you roleplay even if it was just respecting what tone you wanted to use.
Or, something like that.
When people tell me that this is a good Dragon Age game, it feels like they’re comparing this legacy of games to one of those Marvel movies or remakes that doesn’t need to exist, but does because it has a built in audience and will make them money. It feels devoid of what made the old games special to me. I know that the other games aren’t perfect. Not even in all of the respects I mentioned earlier, but I felt like BioWare gave a shit? Even Dragon Age: II with all of its flaws has this beautiful cast of characters and (narratively) fleshed out city and Dragon Age: Inquisition with all of its fetch quests had some of the most complex characters, interesting quest mechanics, and this highly ambitious (if flawed) setting design. This game is so half-baked that I barely understand what it’s about or who it’s really for.
In fact, after I finished the game, it took me a few days to get over feeling negatively about the entire series. I was terrified that Veilguard had ruined this series that I’d loved for half my life for me. I felt stupid. I hate that I care so much when I’m not certain that they do. Or, being more charitable, I’m not certain that BioWare is capable of making a product with care under EA.
I don’t know. Maybe this is a Dragon Age game, but if it is, I’m not sure I want another one.
#this was originally going to be a very long essay because i was mourning how this game felt like a nail in the da coffin#i’ve typed and retyped this a million times because my sorrow over this game is so bone deep#also i’m sorry if you followed me because of that one emmrich post i made and now i’m shitting on a game you like#just cause i hate veilguard doesn’t mean that i don’t think that the old man isn’t hot#i contain multitudes#also to be clear i don’t feel as negatively about everything now#i am capable of seeing veilguards strengths I’m just very disappointed#veilguard critical#dragon age critical#bioware critical#ea critical#ea hate#datv critical#datv hate#veilguard negative

Okay, I’m so gonna get hate for this. And it will probably get about 4 notes. This is, by far, the most opinionated thing I have ever posted on here. If you can’t tolerate criticism towards Rick Riordan, the books, or the TV show, please keep scrolling. My goal is NOT to change your mind or start arguments.
I also want to preface this by saying that I love and respect Rick Riordan (even if I disagree with him on things and don’t like some of his choices) and fully acknowledge that he has the right to do whatever the hell he pleases with his own series. I also want to say that I love Annabeth Chase (both the book and tv show version) with my entire being and you will never find me being an Annabeth hater. She’s my girl.
We good? Okay cool. So here’s the thing: I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying things like “If you didn’t like the books, you just don’t know how to have fun,” and “The new book haters are just mad that they aren’t the target audience anymore,” and (my personal favorite) “Nothing in the books has changed, only the readers have.”
And while I see your points, and I respect you, allow me to show you something. Because of the 10 picture limit, I am only going to focus on one specific change: Annabeth’s view of Percy.
WOTTG: Annabeth is surprised to be comforted by Percy
Past Books: Percy is constantly comforting Annabeth
WOTTG: Annabeth is shocked when Percy is smart
Past Books: Annabeth often points out that Percy is intelligent
WOTTG: Annabeth thinks Percy can’t do anything on his own, and Rick communicates that Annabeth is always saving his ass
Past Books: Percy is ALWAYS watching her back, and saving her ass just as much (and Annabeth admits that)
I could put a hundred quotes in here. I could go on and on and on. But I can’t, and I won’t.
My problem with this new book is NOT that it is more goofy than serious. My problem is NOT that little things have changed. My problem is NOT that it’s just for fun. My problem is NOT that it’s much more childish. (And by the way, I’ve read PJO and HOO as an adult, so it’s not like I was a child when I read everything else and am now an adult reading the new ones.) I really did like and enjoy many parts of this book.
My problem is that the characters (especially Annabeth) have flat out changed—in bad ways—and we have no choice but to accept it as canon. My problem is that Rick, while trying to merge his books with his new TV show project, is changing the entire personalities and past behaviors/ tendencies of the characters.
I loved Chalice of the Gods. You know why? It was fun, goofy, and showed the characters that we know and love being happy and adorable. I strongly dislike Wrath of the Triple Godess because the characters—no matter how adorable and happy they might be—are no longer the ones we know and love.
My problem is that Rick Riordan fully admitted that he no longer considers the old book characters when he writes the new books. He is now purposefully incorporating his own personal mixture of the book characters and tv characters and writing those versions instead. Because of his desire to change and transform the series, I doubt he’s even read the original PJO or HOO books in years, which is why everything is so inconsistent. The old book characters—the ones who made the series what it was—are gone. And that is not my opinion. Rick fully admits that he doesn’t imagine them when he writes anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the tv show actors. I adore Walker and Leah and Aryan with my whole heart, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. But the fact is: they will never be exactly like the book characters. It’s impossible for actors to become the words on a page. They’re their own unique version! And likewise, you cannot turn actors into print. It doesn’t work! And why would you try? The books versions were perfect as they were. And the disney kids need to make the characters their own. The two versions can exist side by side, equally as wonderful, and still be gloriously different. We should celebrate the uniqueness of both. But instead, Rick is attempting to merge them into one. And in my opinion, it’s just hurting them both. And I’m gonna get real brave by saying this, but do you want my honest prediction? If he keeps doing what he’s doing now, the TV show is going to get cancelled and the books are going to turn into a joke. I so, so badly hope that this doesn’t happen! I have loved Rick and PJO for many, many years. I badly want both to thrive. But what is going on right now… it is not working, no matter how much we all want it to. And speaking as someone who knows people in the TV/Film industry, I am sadly not the only one who thinks the show is gonna flop. Which is devastating, because Rick Riordan deserves a redemption on the big screen, and the incredible actors deserve to bring this series to life in a new way.
I am not trying to force my opinions onto anybody. You are welcome to disagree with me and move on. I am not saying that I’m right and you’re wrong. If you disagree, that’s okay. If you agree but you don’t have a problem with it, that’s okay. In fact if other people have literally no issues, that makes me somewhat happy. And if you loved the book, I’m honestly so stoked for you. Feel free to just keep on scrolling, my friend.
But me? I’m sad. I’m really, really freaking sad. And I’m a little angry too, even if I don’t have a right to be. I can’t help it because I’m only human. But this is how I—and a lot of other people—feel. And you know what? That’s okay too. Because the fact of the matter is:
Annabeth isn’t the same Annabeth anymore. And Percy isn’t the same Percy anymore. And it’s not because they went through trauma, or because time has passed. It’s because Rick Riordan doesn’t have any interest in writing those versions of them anymore. And I think the comparisons between the old and the new show that fact pretty clearly.
#okay i’m deleting tumblr now#i’m too scared for the hate so i will be absent lol#I PROMISE IM NOT TRYING TO DESTROY RICK I LOVE HIM#but i think he needs to be more loyal to the old fanbase that has been so loyal to him#or not that’s fine too#i could give you guys more book quotes#i could make a whole other post on how percy has changed#but i’m not sure anyone wants that#so for now i will try and shut up#wottg#wrath of the triple goddess#and run very very quickly#pjo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#percy jackson and the olympians#rick riordan#riordanverse

Babysitting is great because the kids I babysit asked me if I like Minecraft and we talked about it and I ended up briefly explaining GeminiTay and these 6 and 9 year old boys now think this fantasy princess that hunts down her friends heads for fun is one of the top 15 coolest people
Gotta say I agree

I’m sorry, but the Netflix showrunner referring to Kataang as an “issue to tackle” in the future is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever read/heard.
#the way I choked#he was directly referencing k@taang in his answer too.#the age gap was already a problem in the original show#now you just see it the way Zutara has the entire time because you see it in real life actors their age#the maturity difference between a 12 and 14 year old is insane#he literally said he was relieved he didn’t have to deal with it this season#and he just kept going too 😭#I’m not a fan of the ship but DAMN he did them so dirty#avatar the last airbender#zutara#atla live action#anti k@taang

#this one was hard to respond to because it elicited the usual anon rage in me#but i had to think about it anyway.#this blog has been around for less than a month and it is driving me fucking crazy#don’t you think i know?#dont you think it hurts enough already#i dont want this blog either i want my old blog back with all my stuff on it#i would like to stick around#because i loved posting#and i get that you’re just having fun#but i’m making an example of you#less than a month vs five years#‘household name’ firefox official#spent five years building that thing#and now it’s just this.#i keep forgetting#and then i’m here again#not home#i know you all feel bad enough for me already#but it’s so hard to be myself because the environment on here is SO different#we were HAPPY#WE WERE SO HAPPY#Umm… Or whatever.#guess i could go back to firefox unofficial#but that feels far too close to the sun. and i’m done with the wings i think.#i dont mean to be so serious#a total mood killer i know#i just dont know how to proceed exactly#because when i post like normal i cant help but feel sad#and when i post about being sad its just sort of obnoxious#i’m not really asking for pity i just want to explain where i am at

Obi-Wan and Satine were made to dance to Hozier
Approximately 300 frames, many many tears, and 60 hours of my life later; I finally have the finished product. This Obitine animatic has been a dream project of mine and I’m so glad it’s finally done and I can share it with you all.
Of course Ahsoka has the receipts for the council
#obitine#obi wan x satine#satine kryze#obiwan kenobi#the clone wars#star wars#hozier#unknown / nth#I wish we could have gotten a dancing scene in TCW for Obitine#I’m so glad we as a fandom all agree they dance in empty ballrooms#and I’d like to think they’ve danced in the grand salon#even tho it’s destroyed now#imagine they as force ghosts dance in the destroyed mandalorian throne room#and they’re just the dancing ghost couple legend on old Sundari#oh wow that made things sad#anyway#Ahsoka and Anakin would be SHOOK#Anakin would be running to tell Padmé afterward#like a high schooler with the newest gossip#like “PADMÉ PADMÉ PADMÉ OBIWAN AND SATINE WERE KISSING AND DANCING#and Padmé would be completely unsurprised#Ahsoka is still holding the photo hostage#barris has seen it 😂

Something I need the fix it AU writers who use Frodo as Bagginsgields child to focus more on:
Gimli meeting a hobbit that looks strangely like Thorin Oakenshield but has the last name Baggins before connecting the dots:
#bilbo baggins#the hobbit bilbo#the hobbit thorin#thorin oakenshield#thorin x bilbo#thorins company#bilbo x thorin#bilbo and frodo#frodo baggins#parentshield#thorin lives au#thorin durin#thorin and frodo#king thorin#gimli#gimli was like: now hold on second…. I may not be the sharpest rock in the moutian but something’s going on there#Legolas#Legolas knew the whole time too#Legolas is just like: relax cause this ain’t our business pal#Gandalf knew the whole time#Thorin finds out and turns into a mess#yes this is au’s where Bilbo isn’t as old and Frodo is only like 17#I don’t care#let me be delulu#I’m happier in delulu state#Thorin and the company go into panic mode#Bilbo just thinks his husband is dead the whole time but still slaps him when he sees him again cause Bilbo is just that queen#and Thorin accepts it cause he knows he deserves it for trying to throw his hobbit off the rampart#Thorin’s just like: yeah. that’s fair.#and Bilbo cries. and goes on a rant. cause he’s Bilbo mother freaking Baggins and he will if he wants to
