My tagging system

my other screenshot blogs

i am once again out here crying actual tears over “you were in love with her, weren’t you?” “who wasn’t?” that is so heartbreakingly bittersweet and so telling about duke as a person and their ACTING is AMAZING and i just. hooooooly shit

[theflyingfeeling]

I hate it here sm

[puppppppppy]

i am playing professor layton and the curious village on my ds. very fun!!!

I don't know if i'm very far in because most of the time spent in that game was me being confused and bad at puzzles. it's fun though.

!!! im glad to hear youre enjoying it!! its one of my fav titles and honestly such an underrated series, id love it if more ppl gave it a try!

the puzzles can be difficult but very rewarding!! i used to dread them as a kid but now i find them nice and challenging. the math ones are still hard, but if u speak to Flick at the cafe he'll give you chess puzzles which i think were my favorite ^_^

[gibbearish]

btw its interesting the way james tries to imply that like. well the videos that have plagiarism are the ones our dumb stupid annoying patrons requested about bad topics that didnt deserve to have the effort put in to covering them well so basically its fine. like obv thats interesting on its own but moreso the fact that he doesnt actually /say/ it, or like. give a list of the videos hes referring to, just says "those videos are very clear on which ones they were" i think as a nod meaning like "yknow the ones everyones talking about". unless what hes meaning is that like they put a note in certain videos saying "this video was requested by a patron, we here at james somertom incorporated do not espouse these views" which seems unlikely to me. idk methinks maybe it's because there is indeed a lot more than people think and with all the buzz he's not sure which ones have been discovered yet or not, so putting down a solid list that missed some would look like he was still hiding things whereas putting down a fully sourced list would be admitting to wayyyy more than anyone's found yet

[blujayonthewing]

you would think that 'elyss being mad at belial doesn't mean that I, jay, am mad at stephen in real life' would be immediately and unavoidably obvious considering how belial was transparently my favorite character in that campaign (other than my own) even though elyss was mad at him like 60% of the time

[ratatatastic]

sequence of unfortunate events that is: mikksy getting checked by hathaway so hard that the ensuing collision with poehling (his right skate knocks against poehling's boot before he falls) causes the blade to dislodge slightly and he doesn't realise it until he's on the other side of the ice, takes a shot, and proceeds to blow a tire as he turns so he frantically calls for a change to get it fixed

our resident crazy mare and her foul attitude giving the poor farrier a little trouble before putting her hoof up nicely like he asked

[great-tusk]

For the fandom ask: what about Pokemon? :3

TY FOR THE ASK!!! I accidentally ranted so much about a character who I hate because I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. It’s refreshing to post my real opinions on characters. Breaking my silence on the worst character in the entire Pokémon franchise LMAOOO. I have, well let’s call it very strong opinions about him.

I also get very passionate (positive) about the Oaks.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Definitely Blue LMAO. I think about him 24/7.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

The whole Deino line. I can not explain the affection that I feel for those guys. They don’t give me cuteness aggression (the idea of hurting those little guys makes me sad), but a part of me feels a parental instinct. That’s my baby. I need to take care of them and make them happy and feel whole and themself. To stop the turmoil in their brains and replace it with a warmness that settles deep in their heart.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Hop. He’s very sweet and constantly trying his best and falls into a bad mental state that causes him to be so insecure that he tries a bunch of different Pokémon and strategies. He’s trying to follow in his brother’s footsteps despite it not being the right path for him. His family doesn’t have a single picture of him on the wall. Hop essentially has his emotional needs neglected (when Leon hears how shitty he’s feeling, he just goes ‘oh silly Hop… what a stupid worry! why would he think that?!) and relies on the player as one of the only people to treat him with kindness.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

I LOVE THE OAK FAMILY SO MUCH, and Daisy Oak shows up in the Kanto and Johto games. She just lives with the Professor and Blue. In Johto, she grooms your Pokémon and even gave me Blue’s number. She’s so much fun. She’s a contest winner, she has tea at the same time daily and will let you drink some with her if you show up in the hour that she’s having it, and will groom one of your Pokémon while you’re there to make them nice and happy!!!

She doesn’t appear in any spinoffs, although Blue and Professor Oak both mention her in a spinoff. Professor Oak says that she and Blue are both energetic and awake in the morning, and Blue says that she’s constantly telling him to come visit home. (SHE LOVES HER FAMILY SO MUCH!!!!!)

She’s even the only named Kanto character who doesn’t appear in LGPE. I miss her </3. I love her dynamic with the rest of the family.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING. Professor Oak is so controversial in the fandom for no fucking reason. Telling his grandson that neglecting his Pokémon’s emotional needs isn’t abuse omfg. And Blue takes that lesson to heart and starts treating them better and becomes closer to his Pokémon, and it makes him a stronger trainer. Professor Oak haters DNI. That is my GOAT. He bagged a baddie who he never stopped treating kindly, he takes care of his grandchildren all by himself, he has autism. He’s so much fun 👍.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Under the cut because of how severe my hate is for a certain Pokémon character who is introduced in the Gen 9 DLCs and has a name that looks like K____n. So if hate towards him is upsetting to anyone, do NOT click that read more LMAO. It is multiple paragraphs detailing all of the reasons that I hate him.

If anyone is unfamiliar with this character (Kie.ran) and/or dislikes him, please join me in my hater world where we will frolic in a field and make each other flower crowns and talk shit about annoying characters.

These are both the same character. My least favorite character in all of Pokémon. He is worse than any anime character, any other game character, anyone else in the entire series. In a game with a whole subplot about how bullying is wrong, HE JUST GETS OFF SCOT FREE AFTER BULLYING OTHERS. WITH NO APOLOGIES TO PLENTY OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE HURT. A kid who he DEMEANS and ACTIVELY KICKS OUT OF A CLUB for not being the most active due to having a home emergency seemingly doesn’t show up in the game again because he got bullied and forced out of an activity that he enjoyed, and most likely used as a coping method considering he had serious things going on??? And this fucking asshole is never expected to apologize for it. HE JUST APOLOGIZES TO ME??? And my character seemingly forgives him. I wish that I had the option to not do that. I will only EVER consider forgiving him if he APOLOGIZES TO EVERYONE THAT HE HURT and shows at all that he will do better.

He is a pathetic incel who can’t accept being rejected because a Pokémon liked someone who treated her well instead of someone who idolized the idea of her being cruel.

A lot of people try to justify his cruelty by being like “OH IT’S OKAY THAT HE HATES US! BECAUSE WE LIED TO HIM!!!” Our character seems to be fairly young and has two other characters who know him better (including his grandfather, who’s his legal guardian!!!) tell us not to tell him. Are we supposed to think that we know him better than his family in the five minutes that we’ve spent with him?

And there are other Pokémon characters who are dicks, but none who expect you to immediately forgive them despite doing nothing to earn it or showing that they will not do it again the second that they get a chance. Also, none of the others are so annoying. He whines for the entire DLC while simultaneously acting like he’s the strongest trainer ever. He just cries and whines the whole time. Ghetsis didn’t kill my family or become a terrorist irl. This character annoyed me, a real person in the real world so bad.

Also, the second that he sees the Pokémon who chose to go with me with her own free will, he uses the name that people used to hurt her. I can not believe that people in the fandom are genuinely like “omg I wish that I could give her to him 🥺🥺🥺. he would treat her so well,” when he starts demeaning her the second that she exhibits her own emotions and feelings instead of being the cruel Pokémon that he idolized.

I didn’t lose a single Pokémon in the fight against him. (And they weren’t even EV trained or anything. No legendaries, either! Just a skill issue on his part for acting like he has any sort of skill when compared to a VGC player.) I am so in sync with my team and aware of their movesets, items, abilities, and the layout of battles that I could genuinely defeat him blindfolded.

I like to imagine that when we went down to Area Zero, I shoved him off of the edge and watched him fall until he became out of sight.

I have every tag related to him blocked because it pisses me off to see him. I have no clue how he became such a liked character when he’s such a POS.

Fictional abusers and villains and evil hoes can be compelling (even the ones who freakily mirror my exact trauma, which has happened in a game, so I dislike that abuser, but I still find her interesting as a character since she isn’t the one who abused me because she’s actually a woman from a video game). On the other hand, fictional characters who are annoying will never be compelling to me. I manifest their downfalls. Also, why are you making a bully supposed to actually be nice and easy to forgive?

I need him to be sent to superhell because it will pmo if he ever shows up in another game.

Anyway, my mind cannot be changed on this. Anyone who wants to tell me otherwise can type your take out and then delete it because that’s the same as what would happen if you sent it to me.

As a thank you to anyone who read all of that, you get to look at the Build-a-Bear that I need so desperately.

if anyone's curious i do really like the *looks around* thaaaaaaat game where you *looks around* wash your.. oh god how do i even say it *looks around* mouth but i also refuse to interact with the fandom in any way because. good job guys you fandom-ified everyone these are not even the canon characters anymore i will not be elaborating

[nonuggetshere]

Norel vs WL. who shall win

Mentally ill rat vs God

I love Norel but there's no way that pathetic little wet tissue is winning this one, he's gonna fold like origami papper. The only reason he's as dangerous as he is is because he's an influential political figure with the backing of an entire kingdom, its army and personal criminal ties. Only reason he's able to overpower gods in this story (well, canonically only one fledgling god, but there are different flavours of AU I made for fun) is by setting traps and by literally throwing an entire army against them, the only reason he still lives and keeps getting away with this shit is because he's not in the main line of fire when something inevitably goes wrong, it's the people he has working for him that are ripped to shreds and not him. The two only AUs where he does manage to capture her was done through magical traps and use of void to significantly weaken her to the brink of death.

1 on 1 though? That cunt's folding like a lawn chair. The second he's in a room with any of the vessels (that can fight and aren't Whisper) he's dead dead.

Hey anyone/everyone who sees this,

Sending warm fuzzy feelings, cranberry juice/ hot coco/ whatever you prefer and 70% dark chocolate bar cause I learned just how bitter it can taste. It was like a punch to the face, that I think I got whiplash. It's an experience and it really knocks you down to earth cause I almost landed back on my arse.

Just a reminder everyone can have their dips and doubts. Your artwork/ writing/posts are always appreciated, but so is your time. I'm a new follower for some and a long time silent viewer for others. Some of you've probably had repeated ask/ like/rebloggers. But sometimes the likes/reblogs dwindle, and it's 98% likely not on you, so please take a breather. (I think the other 2% are the troll creators who eventually/likely irk the audience to leave just to avoid toxic environments).

Think of your followers as your OG who more feel elated seeing you post ANYTHING. It means you're alive, it means you're still around, and it's a platonic love that I think people cherish even if they ever left this site. Even if I see a post I don't interact with/ reblog. I can always get a smile, maybe even a bit teary eyed if the person posting was silent on their blog for a long time.

I become relieved, grateful with the thought "This human/friend is still around. Thank the stars, I'd be crushed if I ever found out I lost them due to exterior/inner struggles they were facing.." Seeing someone I follow post when it's been weeks/months, it's like a warm hug or them giving a wave like saying "I'm here! I'm likely going through stuff because I have doubts about what I create/like, or life sure is keeping me busy! Or I'm kinda floating along and waiting for this numbness to settle... But I'm here! This little star is still shining, even if I feel dirty or dim, your night sky is just as bright still! I'm around, the light of my life is still burning bright, even if I forget how brightly I shine to others!"

..... Just, if you've read all this. Please know I'm grateful you're alive. You don't have to post, you don't have to say anything. Even I fall silent. Just know, I'm grateful you're alive and your light is still keeping my night sky adorned with your light. Trust me, there are others like me who treasure you and are grateful, that in your own unique ways, we get to see you shine.

one of my bosses got me a norovirus exposure for my bday and the other got me a mental breakdown 🫠🙃

I love waking up at 5am and having a breakdown 😌

I feel like I need to reiterate this, Americans, we do not EVER turn anyone in for the reward money, because the reward money is a LIE!

There will be a reason they come up with for not giving it to you. Even Nancy, the snitch at McDonald's, who everyone in the world knows turned in Luigi Mangione, will not get a penny of the reward money. The reason she is getting is that she called 911 instead of the tip line.

But there are other reasons, like, the cops already had the info you gave them from "other sources". "Lots of other people" called in the same tip. The reward was "up to" the amount promised, so you're getting $1.50. You didn't do the proper paperwork before you gave the tip. And just about anything else you can think of.

They won't give any money out until the person is actually convicted, not just arrested. It could take years for a case to even get to court. If the suspect takes a plea deal, then did your info really lead to a "conviction"? Or by the time the suspect is convicted, suddenly the money is not there. Reward money? What reward money? It isn't like they have it sitting in a box waiting to hand it over to you after the conviction. No, after the conviction, now they need to try to find the amount they put up for the reward. And who's budget is that going to come out of? Who wants to put that money in your pocket instead of their own? Okay? Understand? Got it?

You never get the reward money!
