#atari’s fav shit

[nintendo-killed-atari]

I DID IT GUYS

AS A BANDERSNATCH FAN MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN FULLFILED

[rainbowresurrection]

I'm borrrrred so here's a some stuff about myself!

My name is Jon.

I have a yellow gecko named Scully (like from the X Files), a tarantula named Alice Cooper (shes 16!) a tabby named Mrs. Chonk (she's food-obsessed and on a diet), and two ferrets named Benny and Marty :-)

Here's da Chonk

In my free time I like to get high and draw crazy shit with markers. I also journal. Though I have pretty bad carpal tunnel so these only happen in short bursts. I love retro videogames but the same applies here lol. I do more watching than playing these days. Atari, NES, SNES, SEGA installments, PS1, and arcade machines are an on-and-off fixation of mine.

I'm a language enthusiast. I used to be fluent in day-to-day Spanish but I haven't gotten to speak it in years so it's awfully rusty now </3 soy hispano y hablo mejor el spanglish :P I can read Spanish just fine. My #1 target language of interest is Japanese. I just got done with an Arabic class. Earlier this year I learned some ASL on the fly to communicate with a coworker, & took a Korean hangeul class (I somehow found that harder than Arabic).

I love many kinds of rock, metal, punk, new wave, alt, and experimental music. Lately I've been into dark trap, especially Ghostemane and Grim Salvo. Generally speaking, my favorite band is probably Black Sabbath (70s era). My fav solo artist is David Bowie.

Obviously, I love Star Trek. I've been a trekkie for ten years now. I started with next gen but TOS quickly became my favorite.

Some of my favorite books include Star Trek: The Motion Picture (ofc), The Lord of the Rings, Interview With The Vampire, and The Dead Zone (I like a lot of Stephen King). I'm currently reading a psychedelic fantasy series known as the Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny. So far I'm loving it.

That's all for now 🫡

Shoutout to Gainax robots. they're my fav.

Gunbuster

watching gunbuster rn

man. all the old atari video game idea of aliens. It's a neat concept. like aliens as bug creatures rather than the usual depiction.

also it's pretty rad the idea "humans are a plague and the alien are just a virus trying to get rid of us." heavy.

also ep 3 when it gets all serious, and ep 4 when its all like star wars no one thinks you can do it- it's the most satisfying shit.

also it's cool that when you create something you can make it whatever. like this takes space as like, "us vs aliens" but cowboy bebop takes it and gives it toonami vibes. the isolation, partnered with cool jazz music. idk what I'm trying to say. i guess that space or westerns or anything can be whatever vibe you want. just because its a common archetype doesnt mean you have to do it the same as everyone else. idk.

[shadowthestoryteller]

Ok Shadow, so I think you're around the age to remember this movie but... remember the movie Spirit stallion of the cimmaron? Well, I was re-listening to the soundtrack and pretty much every song sung by Bryan Adams(Which is the majority of the soundtrack) gives me MAJOR Crosshair and Hunter vibes! Please tell me I'm not the only one that can hear it😭

Anon you just unlocked Shadow trivia XD Which is also why it took me so long to get to this ask lol

Many people on this hellsite have heard by now that I was the crazy cat girl. Well, that's not all I was. I was also the weird horse girl to a lesser degree XD. Then later from 6th grade-freshman year I was on my school equestrian team. Needless to say I LOVE horses to absolute pieces. And they have such personalities too like its unbelievable.

SO Spirit was actually one of my FAVORITE movies back when I was younger. Think I actually wore out the VHS and had to get it on DVD. Still is one of my fav movies, and recently I watched the Canyon Chase scene for book inspiration (and cried because that scene just... and the music AAAAHHHHHHH). Sound the Bugle also makes me cry every time

All this to say that I DEFINITELY give Hunter and Cross's playlist the songs. Especially "Get Off My Back" and "Can't Take Me". "Here I Am" has vibes for them as well. I know all the songs from that movie by heart and to know that others match them to the boys as well just

YESSSSSS

FUNNILY ENOUGH in a modern AU I have with @soundwavetherav Hunter has a tan sooty buckskin gelding called Havoc because Hunter and Spirit have the same sort of vibe in my mind. The hair may have slight influence there, BUT even so.

Meanwhile Cross gets a blue roan paint mare named Marauder whom is a little shit and cantankerous as all hell just like her rider

Tech also has a mare called Atari, but she hates him. I can't recall if Atari is a bay/chestnut, or if she's rabicano/sabino/overo/tabiano but I know she had a reddish and white color scene.

But yeah! Im RIGHT with you anon.

[archivebottles]

Oh shit since no one else asked (i think?) Martin uwu?

OK MY REAL LAST ONE bc i like him

favorite thing about them: BIG PROPS to mr jonny sims for getting me to like this type of character bc most of the time i get like..semi annoyed with how most ppl try to do a character like martin and MY GOD jonny did NOT have to give the archive gayboy mother trauma but he did it to kill me i know it, anyways hes a nice boy but hes still mean and funny and can stick up for himself/yell at his coworkers for being idiots and i like that when he lived in the archives he just like..walked around in his underwear and didnt even flinch having a conversation w his boss in them too, literally despite everything i do like martin blackwood and its ridiculous

least favorite thing about them: wish he had more convos with other people its def implied he was on friendlyish terms w everyone but i would like to see it... sad he never got to use that knife on anyone he deserves it, also someone let martin know spiders suck im a spiderphobe i hate how they crawl

favorite line: “I think our experience of the universe has value. Even if it disappears forever.“, “Nothing hurts here. It’s just quiet. Even the fear is gentle here.” literally so many of martins lines KILL ME also not really a fav line but him saying the lonelys always gotten to him and a lot of what he says in the lonely about everyone being alone but we all survive ALSO kill m

brOTP: i think he should be friends w all the archive crew, but i like a lot of his convos w tim and basira

OTP: jonmartin again cuz im boring

nOTP: him and peter or elias specifically...theres probably more

random headcanon: martin grew out a mullet in s4 bc he stopped taking care of himself while in a deep depression but post 159 jon joked that it aligned with his retro aesthetic and so martin decided to keep it for a while much to jons disdain(as to spite him a bit), when he gets drinks with the crew he always gets colorful fruity drinks and everyone makes fun of him but he’s right theyre the best to get, i have already talked about martins love for his old atari system but like...yeah..he loves that thing, did a lot of sticky note poetry when he lived at the archives, he likes cooking but he is extremely mediocre at it he didnt know how to boil water until he was in his teens but he has the spirit ok(he still burns stuff frequently but he learned a lot cooking for his mom although when he started living on his own it depressed him to make food for only himself)

unpopular opinion: martins not baby or anything hes just a big as a bastard as jon and like his first appearance was him being like i repeatedly broke into this place so i could get information for YOUR SKEPTIC ASS AND I ALMOST DIED, also i do not think martin has a jealously problem or anything ive seen ppl talk about the like him thinking everyone person who said nice things about jon was probably played up a bit bc it was to subtly show that martin was like Into jon, but also like in mag106 they still invite martin to drinks even after roasting his ass so he almost definitely like Stopped after the first time he thought basira or melanie was into jon hes not stupid lol its like not the best thing cuz its like a little annoying for the ppl he asked and COULD become a problem if it got out of control but its not like A Problem u kno he probably was trying to see if he had fallen for a straight dude/someone whos seeing something else since jon is so private, also when elias said that martin manipulated ppl like him that was like...the most obvious dig to be like “oh we are the same im so smart :)” but like...we see martin use his lying and deception skills Specifically For People he is using those skills to survive not like...how annabelle or elias manipulates ppl lol

song i associate with them: fear no more by madeon, dissolve by absofacto, shallows by daughter, the warmth by koda, and its more of a jm song but like...paper boats by darren korb
