The main characters of my Pizza Tower fangame/au Burger Bastion, Windzanno & Bar!

[ace-does-stuff]

wild to me that there are electronic music fans who are anti-furry like my guy that's like going to a burger joint and saying "man i hate americans sure am glad americans aren't making these burgers i love" or some shit like that, like do you realize that furries are the last bastions carrying this genre

Snorting Kemono Jihen like the crack it is

This is gonna be broken up into segments about the characters. I am currently reading through the manga but I don't give a crap about spoilers. I'm not gonna talk about the plot, it's largely whatever in my books. Check the tags first.

Kusaka (You cannot kill him in any way that matters) Kabane:

He is an adorable little demon child. As the protagonist the story quite honestly lives or dies on enjoyment of Kabane as a character. And I find it rather impossible to hate this unbothered short king. I like how despite his lack of emoting you can usually tell what's going on with him. It's common in cases like Kabane to make the character a nothing burger and not doing that is surprising for something that got it's start in 2016. Especially in stories like this one that end up having some rather dark moments. Kemono Jihen manages to avoid this by still somehow managing to maintain an uplifting tone.

Kabane is very emotionally stunted and that works for him, if he works is way out of it. The story itself tells you that his lack of emotion is tied directly to his abuse, infact Kabane already has the perfect avenue to explore his lack of emotion aside from extreme outbursts, his kemono half (So this actually happens but my point still stands). Put him more at odds with the part of him that is at it's core predatory, Hell Kabane working through his emotional blindness works as a marker of his progress. Honestly I think he just needs an internal monologue like Loid Forger from Spy X Family or like how Nico Robin has these moments where she pictures the most random thing.

As I see it Kabane is a very strong character that has room to improve. But he doesn't really have to, as it stands he works very well as the character arc bat he is. Now I have this image in my head of Kabane sneaking up on someone with a bat that has the words "Character Arc" on it. (He's gonna beat you to death with it and you will thank him)

Nowaki (Nobimaru should have been like Zuko) Hormramaru:

I like Nobimaru, he's just bastard enough to be enjoyable, like Anya Forger. I swear the Spy X Family references stop here. I will say, I don't like the fact that he's secretly 19. If he was a 13-year old pretending to be an adult, his dynamic the the other characters would become infinitely more interesting. Children tend to see adults as bastions of freedom, which makes the whole pretending to be an adult thing understandable. I imagine Nobimaru being was more childish and silly around Kabane and the kids but presenting his canon personality and age around Inari and the other Kitsune. I would honestly prefer the moments that dynamic would bring about. I can see Kabane just telling Nobimaru that he prefers him the way he is. Not as who he pretends to be. It'd be cute. But at that point Kon becomes entirely pointless and that's fine, I don't really like Kon all that much.

Of course if you are smart you have realized that this would lead to a Zuko Alone arc followed by Nobimaru betraying his mom. Hey if it ain't broke but criminally misunderstood, make it more obvious. Nobimaru is a abuse victim, his mother Inari is abusive as hell. The more I think about this idea, the more interesting it becomes; Kon is Nobimaru, because he hates that he looks like his mother. It adds a very interesting avenue to explore self loathing born of parental abuse, sorta like Nagisa from Assassination Classroom but better. With one simple change he goes from just hating Inari to clearly wanting her to love him, knowing full well she never will. I have more but that may end up being a separate post of unstructured rambling. Or a fic I end up writing it, who knows. (Likely a fic)

Akira (Fuck those are long ass full names that I'm not writing) and Yui:

I don't have any right to speak on sexual assault especially to a child, my abuse was only ever physical and emotional.You have every right to skip Yui's segment if it makes you uncomfortable.I have no intention to judge for not wanting to think about something.

I am not a person who has experienced SA, I have however experienced long term abuse and will be speaking from that perspective. I am not caught up with the manga so feel free correct me if this is wrong. In canon he just sorta gets over it, something that he survived through for most of his life. This was something that made him react with viceral rage at the mere idea of his own brother "helping". And there is no emotional fallout, even just an aversion to physical contact from anyone who isn't Akira would be enough, this pisses me off. I'm gonna be angry for a bit to prove a point; This is a fifteen year old boy who would be a father if not for going fucking psycho after years of abuse. THERE IS NO "JUST GETTING OVER THAT". And then he is written out of the story. I don't like this, it's bad. I would have at the very least put Yui more at odds with the other kids. Yui's aggressively protective of Akira and this plus his trauma would likely make him less trusting.

Akira's delightful, I wish he wasn't a cardboard cutout of what stupid people think boys or, people in general, express gender nonconformity are like. But the author seems to have moved beyond that, from what I can tell. I love how much Akira loves his brother, reminds me of Kari and Tai from the original digimon. I like siblings being comfy. It's nice, it makes me happy to see. I can see Akira as some flavor of trans, it would make a interesting conflict with is brother. But it's not something I would not recommend approaching lightly, given the possibility of making Yui unlikable. I would just make Akira really worried about coming out as trans, only for Yui to just say he didn't want to assume. Or that nothing could change how much Yui loves Akira, that would be adorable.

Inari (All Cops Are Bastards) Yoko:

She's a bitch, she's the villain. She's delightful and I hate her (affectionate). The gold standard really. She's one familiar egomaniac and watching her fail is cathartic as hell, no notes. She is a perfectly shit woman and rather intimidating to boot. I think it's interesting how Nobimaru sometimes emulates her worst aspects, honestly that's something that's worth exploring. She and Inugami are different sides of the same coin, Inugami wants coexistence while she seeks only absolute control. She doesn't care what happens to those she uses but he does. It really speaks to her end goal of becoming the unchallenged empress of japan. (I am convinced that the only reason she even had Nobimaru was just so she could be called a MILF)

Inugami (Serial adopter, seriously he has four kids) Kohachi:

This man is a father of four and the delightfully barbie bitch vampire that he keeps in the closet. I love how scrungally he is. If Inugami was real and I had slightly lower standards, I'd hit on him. There isn't really a lot to him. He's basically got the same thing going on as Kuro from Servamp. That's not a bad thing, it's just I've seen it before. Aside from that, the genuine concern expresses for his kids wasn't something I was expecting. He's manipulative, but in a way that shows his desire to keep people safe. That's a trait worth putting more emphasis on if you intend to write him.

Tademaru (So I'm a Spider Boy, So What?) Shiki

I don't have anything to say about Shiki. He's Bakugo written correctly and I will die on that correct opinion. I think that Aya's canon design should be nuked from orbit, just trust me on this. T-shirt and jeans with front facing pockets, Ta-fucking-da; tomboy without being fucking disgusting. Aya being trans that would have been fun, but just as more of a neutral aside. I think it would be fun if Shiki expressed an interest in being a clothing designer. Aside from that I don't really have anything more to say. OH, I think it would be interesting if Shiki's eyes looked like Kumoku from So, I'm a Spider.

I think it would be fun if he and his sister, as half-Arachne had eyes like these. Look I don't hate how his eyes are normally, but I don't think it's interesting either. Take off his jacket and nothing about Shiki really screams spider person. Also because the name Arachne is greek in origin it would be cool if they had more olive toned skin.

[naradreamscape]

The colony is trying to claim the latest 6 dead hostages were actually killed by Hamas. I hate to be one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" guys, but I really hope nobody seriously believes anything the colony's state government says anymore

We already have tons of testimonials from ex-hostages and IOF officers alike saying that the IOF will stupidly pump artillery into any situation and wantonly kill anything that moves. We saw the IOF kill those guys with a white flag. We also have the mother of a soldier who knew the IOF killed her son's platoon with toxic gas pumped into a tunnel they were investigating for Hamas members, before later claiming Hamas actually did it. I can't seem to find any word on how these latest 6 died, but I assume we're one day going to get an autopsy claiming Hamas killed them by shooting Raytheon-produced tank projectiles through the exterior wall of the building

The settlers seem to be going "WAH WAH WHY HAVEN'T WE ERADICATED PALESTINE YET" throughout all this while they continue to steal houses in the West Bank (which is internationally recognized as sovereign Palestinian land!), let polio spread in Gaza because they keep blocking the aid gates with bouncy castles and cookouts, and play on the beach in Tel Aviv and eat fresh Burger King. I don't know why it's taking them so long to realize they live in a fascist Americanized colony masquerading as my peoples' last bastion of safety anywhere in the world ("NO WE HAVE TO LIVE HERE!! NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD!! RIGHT IN THIS CENTURIES-OLD HOUSE WE TOOK AT GUNPOINT! OH MY GOD WHY DO THE LOCALS HATE US SO"), but I've never seen an Israeli settler brighter than a 1.5 watt bulb, so it's probably going to take a very long time to catch up

My Birthday in Cartagena

I started my birthday off with a relaxing sleep in and then I headed off for a walk around the old city again. It was hot but not as bad as the last two days so I was able to walk all the way to the castle walls and bastion before I was overheating. My birthday brunch and coffee today was at Época which was a super nice place filled with mostly Americans talking loudly. I went for a flat white and açai bowl which was the perfect combination of hot drink and cool food. Next I went to visit Centenario Park at the recommendation of some Youtube videos I had watched before I left for my trip. Lucky I did, as the park was full of animals and I followed a crowd of people staring up to find a sloth! It was actually moving too, which is so rare because they’re usually asleep. I bought myself a corozo juice from a nearby stand (apparently it’s good for cholesterol) and sat to watch the sloth slowly working its way through the trees. My afternoon was dedicated to exploring the Getsemaní area which was full of street art and colourful buildings although it was so hot it was hard to enjoy it. I had to move from shop to shop with AC so I didn’t melt into a puddle on the footpath! Walking in the boot was also taking a toll so it was time for an iced coffee of an afternoon which was had at Juan Valdez, and was good for the national coffee chain. With about two hours until the sunset cruise, I headed back to the hostel to get ready and meet up with Mili and Ana and they decided it was faster to walk to the port than get a taxi so off we went. Almost everyone was wearing white in some form and the boat wasn’t too crowded. We arrived a little early so we found ourselves a seat and redeemed our drink tickets for lemonades, starting to feel the heat of being still but it wasn’t long before the captain took us out on the water and the breeze came through. We fought for a space to get some nice photos of each other with the upper class area of Bocagrande in the background across the water and then I bought the 3 of us a round of cocktails (less than $20), then they bought the next round for us. The music gradually got louder as the sunset approached and we were getting a bit tipsy so it was all great fun! We sat back to watch the sunset and take photos, and then once it was dark some older ladies were having a great drunken dance on the deck on the way back to port. We were all starving once we got off the boat so Mili and Ana led us to Macarena for dinner, which was conveniently right by the hostel. We ordered quickly so our food and drinks would arrive before the big group of 8 American ladies had a chance to order. I went for a burger with approximately 6 potato wedges served with ketchup and cheese for dipping, paired with a maracuya mocktail. The girls surprised me with a dessert plate that the waiter brought to me, with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday. It was a small chocolate cake slice and “Feliz cumpleaños Yesid” written in chocolate sauce. It’s the thought that counts! I really appreciated them spending my birthday with me so I picked up the tab for our dinner and drinks which surprisingly only came to about $45 in total. After dinner the girls invited me out with them to Alquimeco bar which is the 9th best bar in the world, or in Latin America or something like that. They were going to ring in Ana’s birthday by going there after midnight and it looked really fun but I was completely exhausted, my ankle was sore after doing more than 16k steps today and I didn’t think I could stay awake for two more hours until they were ready to go so I wished them a good time and never even heard them come back to the room in the wee hours!

My AU'S: Burger Bastion @burgerbastion - Citrus Mall - Clone Conundrum (the one i'm working on the most so far for some reason)

[gabriella-trn1042]

Playing around in this particular pool with a few folks so here's the rundown on Spider Person Gabriella:

Gabi developed her abilities from an accident at the Alchemax labs while there with her father. Her version of Miguel was killed in the accident. Gabi survived, but contact with the various tech in the lab during the accident caused her transformation.

Her preferred moniker is Spider Girl. This is partly because she was a relatively young teen when she gained her abilities.

Gabi is a Spiderman 2099 style spider person meaning she shares a lot with Miguel: fangs, talons, organic webs, red eyes, and sensitivity to light. She is also a tall girl at about 6’1” and muscular. The spider stuff likely contributed, but given Miguel was also tall, some of it could just be her normal genetics (speaking as a tall girl of almost the same height myself)

Her power set is also very similar to all Spider People, though she can only climb on walls with hands and feet (as opposed to the others who usually just sort of stick anyway they'd like) and hiding her physical differences is harder. She does heal faster than a human and can withstand more, but her healing isn't instantaneous.

She is not a vampire, but we should make all those jokes. She is venomous and capable of paralyzing someone with a bite. The venom is non-toxic beyond being a paralytic.

While all versions of Spiderman have long been a bastion of body horror and puberty metaphors, Gabi's particular brand of Spider Personhood certainly comes with those kinds of challenges including the fact that fangs and claws and venom can sure get in the way of living your best teenage life. Plus don't underestimate those predatory instincts to hunt and handle your emotions with violence.

I'm very mindful that categorizing a person of color as especially animalistic can be problematic. I am working hard to tow that line, but do know that like canon Miguel, her genetic code has been rewritten into what is essentially a predator. Baby girl may have some anger issues and instinctive drives that put her on the edge of going rogue without the right guidance. She's going to try really hard not to rip anyone's throat out, but there's a tiny part of her that wants to rip your throat out. If someone's throat needs ripping out, you should totally point in her direction.

She's definitely a hardcore carnivore (because 50% spider DNA) so if she's a little too hangry and irritable (and there are no throats to be ripped out) just toss her one of those Miguel-themed burgers from Spider HQ's cafeteria and she'll chill out.

Woe, Windzanno and Bar sprite edits be upon you

[tagmomg]

I feel this burning need to put something extra on all of this out into the world about the shit Somerton did and how much damage it's caused, 'cause I think one thing can easily get missed, and that's how, all these lies and thievery mixed together? It paints a picture, a picture that a huge number of people brought up until this past week.

Like think about it. He tells you all the "interesting gays" died back in the 80s, he tells you that America really only cared about the nazis to some degree because they were Gay Icons and Hot and Americans were hella jelly over it, all that stuff together, it paints a picture of a world that is vastly more homophobic then it truly is - and don't get me wrong! The world ain't good on that front even now, let alone in the course of history! But that's one half of the Big Lie James was (I think) working towards, that the world is irreparably, inescapably, unconditionally fucked for gays, always has been, always will be, and that cannot be fixed, on some level. I mean, if even the fucking Nazis can't get people letting go of their homophobia even while you're in the trenches, what the fuck can? Especially now the interesting gays are dead. Pack up, show's over, go home, best you can do now is reclaim those queer-coded Disney characters.

And then he steals his words from a bunch of queer writers - words that resonate with his audience, no doubt, considering how big it got! And words that would make people feel seen and heard by so many people! Except... not. Because it's not So Many People who wrote it, in his videos. It's him. And add those two actions together, what do you get?

You get James Somerton, The Only "Interesting" Gay left. He's the Only one who cares about what you care about. The non-queer world basically all wants your money at best and you dead at worst, and the queer world got killed off through homogenisation and... well, regular old death. He's the only shining beacon in a very dark world - so make sure to donate to his Patreon and movies, because he is the only one doing this. Those fuckers at Neubla aren't really Queer (no, really, he fucking said That, too), Queer writers aren't around except in dusty tomes and movies (assuming he just doesn't pinch things wholesale from them, too). He's the rising star after EVERYONE ELSE INTERESTING died in the 80s from AIDS, and left only those boring white rich nothing-burgers of queers that don't care about what you care about. (Ignore that he affects the style of one of those boring white rich nothing-burgers, naturally, because he's not only One Of The Good Ones, he's The Only Good One.)

It's bad enough that he robbed about 170,000K a year from his patreons for crap content, bad enough that he stole another 64K for his movie studio, bad enough he's been pinching every word that meant a shit and filling the gaps with the most asinine takes he could manage to squeeze out of his hack brain. That's all horrible.

But On top of that, he told that big lie - of him being the only interesting gay - to about 344 thousand people (maybe not all the subscribers were still watching him, but still, we're talking hundreds of thousands almost certainly), and in doing so, he denied everyone that listened to him a community. A community they would have loved, because they loved Somerton's words, and his words were from that community, that already existed! That they could have been a part of! But they weren't, they were denied that opportunity by Somertwat rewriting history and reality so that he could get their fucking money.

And then for one final kick in the marbles, he did that twice, because in the wake of all this he's deleted every social he remembered... including his Discord. And with how fast it went, I fully imagine there are a lot of queers who genuinely believed he was some last bastion, and made friends with fans and had a little community of their own - not the one they could have had, no, but they managed to make a little parcel for themselves, and much as it was build on lies and bullshit, it was theirs.

Then James just fucking wipes that, too, with barely a word of warning, and it's just gone. If you'll forgive the irony pun in using this phrase after being in a video by a guy named HBomb, he atomized that shit. He had to deny them even that sense of community they had when he felt the tide shift and realized his money making days were over.

There's god knows how many queer people now, who find themselves simultaneously morning the death of a community, the vanishing and lying of the one guy they thought they could truly trust, and the knowledge that there was better out there, this whole time. James has fucked them over in those three ways even if he didn't take a red fucking cent from them. He stole their trust, their joy, and their time, the thieving little git.

Like, a lot can be said about the Young Gays, I'm sure, and I say that as A Young Gay! I was born 1993, that puts me at a sprightly 5 when those 1997 Drugs That Let You Thrive came out, mentioned in previous posts. The only things I know about the AIDS crisis come from other folk researching it - or living through it and recording their feelings about it. (And thank you very much for that, everyone who does.)

But god damnit, complaints or not, they all deserve the chance to become a part of whatever community they can find themselves fitting into. And James, alongside everything else he brazenly pinched, stole that chance from his audience.

I can only hope and pray they get it back in short order. They deserve it now more then ever.

As of about 5 hours ago, I believe somerton had lost about 32k subscribers.

Usually I'm not this horribly spiteful, but listen:

I graduated from HS during the worst year of the AIDS crisis.

I'm ~12 years older than Somerton. My peer group - my friends from young adulthood on - were people who survived, and some who didn't, because the worst year wasn't the last year.

The "boring, shitty gays" who he's talking about who only survived by being boring?

That's me. Those are my friends. Those are people I know and love. They have names and faces and lives. We lost people. There are immeasurable holes in our lives that will never be filled because people we love were murdered by malicious governmental neglect.

And you know what? Queer liberation must include the right to be fucking boring and basic. If you have to perform radicalism to be worthy to survive, you're not free. But the people he was casually mocking? Those are people I love, people who will be carrying our losses all of our lives.

So fuck that shitty dude and his theft and his shitty, shitty opinions. I'm really enjoying watching his shit burn.
