#aren't The Themes of this game that it's never too late to seek help and get better and stuff? why should Loop be exempt from that???

[wolfisblank]

Two similar takes I've seen, but different in a key way:

"I don't like human Loop designs because I like them having to adjust to their new life and learn to live with it." Cool, interesting. Form symbolizing a person forever changed, but not in need of "fixing". I can see this angle

"I don't like human Loop designs because I like them having to live with the consequences of their actions." what.

most south parky lyrics from every song on my south park playlist

white winter hymnal by fleet foxes: “i was following the pack all swallowed in their coats with scarves of red wound round their throats to keep their little heads from falling in the snow and i turn round and there you go”

we’re going to be friends by the white stripes: “we walk to school all by ourselves / there’s dirt on our uniforms from chasing all the ants and worms” “we don’t notice any time pass, we don’t notice anything / we sit side by side in every class”

peng! 33 by stereolab: “curiosity was far greater than our fear / it felt so simple and so prodigious at the same time/ incredible things are happening in the world / magical things are happening in this world”

signal in the sky (let’s go) by the apples in stereo: “would you like to play a game of hide and seek now? / if you have x-ray eyes please promise not to peak now / first we count to ten and then we’ll have some fun now / or will you fly away before we count to one now?” “you know you got a lot to do / and everything depends on you / hey girls, hey girls, come out and play now! / or do you have to hurry off to save the day now?”

another brick in the wall, pt. 2 by pink floyd: “we don’t need no education, we don’t need no thought control / no dark sarcasm in the classroom / teacher leave them kids alone”

only a lad by oingo boingo: “(he’s only a lad) you really can’t blame him / (only a lad) society made him / (only a lad) he’s our responsibility / (only a lad) he really couldn’t help it / (only a lad) he didn't want to do it / (only a lad) he’s underprivileged and abused / perhaps a little bit confused”

cody’s theme by ajj: “when i was a kid my whole reality split / i was living a lie / i was a killing machine, i was a warlord / when i closed my eyes “when i was a kid i was a total dick to inanimate objects / the world beat the hell from me; i took it out on a tree”

best in the class by late of the pier: “you gotta speak your mind / you can always change up / you gotta know what’s real / you gotta hold yourself down / you should be direct / you gotta scream and shout”

back in school by mother mother: “i wanna get it but i got bad brains / i’m what they like to call a special case, i am a coma in a classroom / i got detention cause i made a face / nobody believed me that it’s stuck that way” “run, little boy / back in school, back in place / back in school, back in chains / back in school, back in my cage”

the kids aren’t alright by fall out boy: “and in the end i’d do it all again / i think you’re my best friend / don’t you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren’t alright? / i’ll be yours, when it rains it pours / stay thirsty like before / don’t you know that the kids aren’t al-, kids aren't alright? / i’m not passive but aggressive / take note, it's not impressive”

leviathans get lonely by the weather machine: “remember when we lost that bet that in a year things would make sense? let’s go downtown and fight the government”

no children by the mountain goats: “i hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us / i hope we come up with a fail safe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us / i hope the fences we mended fall down beneath their own weight / and i hope we hang on past the last exit / i hope it’s already too late / and i hope the junkyard a few blocks from here someday burns down / and i hope the rising black smoke carries me far away and i never come back to this town again”

born in the right country by river whyless: “i am your new king / can’t you see the teeth laid in this crown? / the past now is present / i am the inside and you’re out / i’ll tell you, baby, a secret, manufactured truth is easy to sell / when you own the factory and you own the hearts of the clientele” “but can i truly blame you? / we’re built on the dreams we feed to the poor / so that you can break through if you’ve got the right name, or you’ve got the right god, or you’re born in the right country”

the room is full of people that love you by foresight: “there’s a new park in the middle of town / we can run from the cops, and hide from the clowns / we can do drugs and diss each other’s pipe dreams, learn all about our anatomy / i once was a loyal dog / you gotta love everybody but never the hogs / i didn’t mean to make such a mess of things / i just wanted a coat and something to drink / now i drown, dead stuck in this town / always lost when i’m found / in and out of space, in and out of phase / feeling deep in the heart / it feels like tearing apart / think i’ll slowly fade away”

bite the hand by boygenius: “i can’t love you how you want me to / i can’t love you how you want me to / i can’t love you how you want me to”

ribs by lorde: “you’re the only friend i need / sharing beds like little kids / we laugh until our ribs get tough / but that will never be enough”

baby brothers by will connolly: “we’ve crossed these rivers countless times / left broken bones out on the ice / turnpike signs turned to subway lines / dolittle days, outlandos nights / but we were never done ‘cause this is an extension of more than one love / this was a long, long, long time coming / for when the bar is so high you can’t tell you’re beneath it / when you’ve got archer’s eyes but you can’t even see it / then just look, look out, look out for each other / we gotta look, look out, look out for each other / baby brother”

You're very right in the tags of that one post. Toxic positivity is just as bad as toxic negativity, sometimes worse due to the handling of constructive criticism because of can-do-no-wrong attitude that stifles growth and creativity.

That ever-growing toxicity combined with this weird form of puritanism that has people harassing and dogpiling on others if they dare have an independent thought outside the hivemind is what's forcing me away from the Sonic fandom and never returning again, despite how much I love Eggman. I've already stopped reblogging Sonic art on my main blog and interacting with the fandom at large outside of a close circle of trusted friends across social media, they're the only thing even keeping that dying flame for this series stoked. I'm almost ready to delete it all and revamp my main blog theme to distance myself further. It hurts to know I'm no longer welcome in something that has been a major part of my life since I started gaming, something I've seen grow from literally nothing as I grew.

I still enjoy so many things about this series, and I had so much fun with everything up until this point, but being pushed out and treated like you're worse than trash for disagreeing with one thing feels like a knife being twisted in my heart. I don't want to go, but at this point I feel I have no choice to leave it all behind.

I'm sorry to sound whiny with this all, but I guess I just needed somewhere to vent. Should I consider this my goodbye letter to the Sonic series? Maybe so.

Thanks, Julian. Again, sorry for the vent.

Nah don't apologize, that's exactly how I've been feeling too. There's a big problem with both toxic positivity and negativity in this fandom and I'd say the former has been a much bigger one lately. I wouldn't say any of my criticisms of the latest media I'm not a fan of has been that harsh, aside from the occasional rants where I've been especially worked up and upset.

Most of the time it was just calm criticism that I was being asked to talk about in my inbox, it's not like I was going onto other people's posts and inboxes trying to be negative. But it's just blown up out of proportion because people take offense merely being something they don't want to see, because I see it as anything less than perfect and amazing. And that's where the toxic positivity comes in.

What I do always comes from a place of deep passion and my boldness in expressing true feelings is dismissed as nothing but hatred. Just because again, it's not highly positive endless praise without question or criticism. There's a lot of toxic positivity and also puritanism especially when it comes to my views and creations of Eggman compared to what people would prefer I think and do instead.

I've stepped away from fandom massively too because there isn't much out there that appeals to me anymore. It's a hivemind where you're not allowed to voice different opinions or even state facts as it's immediately taken as an attack. It's full of high praise of everything and intolerance towards people that don't feel the same, they accuse me of being horrible and hateful and trying to attack specific people with things I make on my own blog.

I don't think I'm ever really going to come back either beyond interaction with the small amount of people I still follow that aren't with that crowd and their mindset and either feel the same or accept I feel differently, like I can with them as long as they respect me too. I don't seek out content from anywhere else aside from heavily filtered Tumblr search. I'll never search Eggman on Twitter again for the sake of my sanity lol

While it does help me feel better to not surround myself with things that make me uncomfortable and avoid it as well as I can, it does hurt to leave almost everything behind and not feel welcome amongst the masses just because we can't agree on everything and are open with criticism, no matter how sensible and calm we are about it. I'm going to miss out on the small amount of stuff out there I would like as a result which is sad too.

But then when I'm at my worst after all recent events, I've contemplated deleting everything and leaving because even though there are a few reasons I have to stick around and it's not all bad, it still feels like I don't belong and do everything wrong in some people's eyes and am hated by many and it just makes me miserable with all the constant reminders. It hurts that something that's been so special and important to me almost all my life is now attached to this pain.

It was fun up until this point for me too but now I feel pushed out because of how many places I've been kicked out of and how many I've been blocked by. It really does hurt a lot, how it feels like everything can go wrong just for being yourself and being open and honest about how you feel. It does stifle growth and creativity a lot when different perspectives and ideas are immediately shunned and looked down upon and responded to aggressively.

I don't really want to go either but I've accepted I need to take a step back, as big of a part of my life it was for so long. And I've been considering that I might have to leave official media behind soon as it just feels like there might not be anything for me anymore. Even before shit really hit the fan fandom wise, I started pondering it. Leaving that will hurt even more but I'm trying not to hold on to what hurts or discomforts me and just doesn't bring me the happiness it did before.

If I do have to leave both fandom and official media behind entirely, it will hurt a lot but I still appreciate for the people I still follow, old official content, and sharing my analysis, headcanons, fics, gushing, etc. I'm still passionate as ever about Eggman and love to create from it and share it, that's why I care so much and have such strong opinions and bold ways of expressing it in the first place. It's sad that it had to come to this but I appreciate the good times and memories and I won't let all this stop me from doing what I love.

But yeah you're not alone in this, I feel exactly the same way and I'm saying my goodbye to most of the fandom too and possibly the entire series itself soon with the way things might be going from here.

You're welcome and no need to be sorry 💜

Im so sorry this is so late but I hope you enjoy the Christmas Theme! ALSO Merry Christmas Eve Sib!!

-

It was Christmas Eve! All day the Mega Pizza-Plex held a Holiday type party for all of the kids in town, Pizza, Decorations, Holiday themed shows and other fun festive activities.

The snow began to pile though, it was getting bad so unfortunately the fun had to end early, Each kid got a goodie bag full of merchandise and a gift card as the Pizza-Plex's gifts for everyone.

They thought that everyone had gone home so they closed the place up, all the gaurds went home, there was only a few cleaning bots that ran through the party center and most of the main animatronics have shut down for the night to rest.

That left you, alone and confused. You weren't on the Pizza-Plex radar of kids although you have come many times to watch the performances, you knew the area quite well so in your time of confusion you wondered to the Daycare. that seemed like the safest option for a place to stay the night, especially under these conditions. You had never been there but something about it just felt safe.

Sliding down into a ball pit you moved forward a bright yellow man appeared at the top of the platform above you before jumping in to join you.

It's definitely an animatronic so you entering the ball pit was probably a motion activated response

Trying not to disturb it you moved forward with caution before feeling two hands lift you up under your arms greeting you with a friendly smile. You shrieked quickly out of surprise from being lifted but also because it kinda tickled, his voice was warm, His name was Sundrop, nice.

"Helloo new friend! I didn't mean to scare you! What are you doing up so late are we having a slumber party? Where are all your friends?" He continued to hold you up while taking you out of the ball pit and to the main floor.

After you explained your situation his voice softened "I see, well you've come to the right place, you will be safe here for the night I'll make sure of it!" This brought a smile to your face as you thanked him and apologized for the trouble

"Don't you worry about a thing Sunshine I just have one rule! Keep the lights on" he said the last part with a very serious tone, you listened and nodded.

"Excellent!"

As you looked around you realized that the entire Pizza-Plex had been decorated for this occasion

"You like the decorations! I made some of them myself! Like this snowflake! Do you what to make a snowflake too ghostie!"

You nodded before asking how he knew your name

"You're in our system aren't you? Hmm odd, I've seen you before at some of the shows that's how I know your name!"

I guess that makes sense, you didn't read too much into it, Snowflake time!!

"You want some glitter glue? I have glitter glue!" He showed you all the different colors and things he had in store.

"Amazing work sunshine! This is going right up on the wall! Help me tape it on, this masterpiece must be known to the world!!" He did a little spin and dance before picking you up again to tape it on the wall. Squeaking again at the sudden motion and of course because of your undeniable ticklishness, which did not go unnoticed by Sun, he smiled "You're a Jumpy one aren't ya' sunshine?"

You gave him a face as he let you down giggling, "How about we play a game yeah?! Would you like that?"

Eagerly nodding he smiled even brighter, "Perfect! Let's play hide and seek! You hide I'll seek! The only two rules are no going behind the counter and no leaving the daycare got it?"

You nodded once more before he smiled "Alrighty! Go hide I'll start counting 1,,,,2,,,"

You giggled and ran for the play area, even if he did find you there was no way he could catch you in here!

"98,,,99,,," You had found a cozy spot between two walls of the area that made a triangle

"100!! Ready or not here I come!"

Now he didn’t really count to 100 but who's keeping track! You held your hand over your mouth as you peeked around to see where he was, you saw him, with wiggling fingers he searched for you.

"I wonder where Ghostie went" he said playfully as he searched the Daycare, "Come on out Sunshine, Im gonna getcha'!" He entered the playplace that's when the adrenaline kicked in.

You held back the giggles that bubbled up inside your throat as you quietly made your way out of your hiding spot to try and out smart him

Unfortunately for you, you had tripped and fell down one of the slides, stopping yourself before you could reach the floor, Sundrop had left the play area from the opposite side.

To not make a sound you had stayed hidden in the slide, if you could not see him, he could not see you

"Oh sunshinee~ come out come out wherever you are" his voice sounded closer, alot closer then before but you remained in your spot, there's no way he's gonna find you in here, it's genius.

"Gotcha'!" He swiftly grabbed you from behind placing you down gently on his lap as you tried to get away he pulled you right back

"Ah ah ah, I found you fair and square so do you know what I get as a reward?"

You shook your head no before he wiggled his fingers all over your sides "You're sweet laughter!" He giggled as you giggled smiling to himself "didn't think I noticed when I held you earlier, I know a ticklish one when I see them"

He moved his quick fingers up your ribs and under your arms smiling at his victory,

"Tickletickletickletickle" he teased in your ear while tickling your neck with one hand and sides with the other.

"You have got to be the most ticklish person that has ever entered the Daycare!" He teased as you whined a bit

"Aww what's wrong, too ticklish Ghostie?, Tickle tickle tickleee" he smiled wiggling all ten fingers gently across your stomach.

"Ooo good spot! Very adorable sunshine" The Sun animatronic beamed with joy, as your laughter slowed down so did his tickles

He couldn't help a few pokes or light scribbles every now and again but he was pretty much done, rubbing away the remaining ghost tickles he carried you gently to a sleeping area for the night seeing how tired you were getting and how late it was.

After tucking you in he smiled to himself ruffling your hair gently "sleep well Sunshine and a very Merry Christmas to you"

Sun stayed up after that creating some homemade gifts for you to wake up to the next morning for Christmas.

The Daycare was the right choice afterall :]
