The fact that these greedy hacks are profiting by stealing from many always free creators specifically now... disgusting. No wonder the number of free creators is dwindling so much in this degraded shithole of a community. Simsulani you are a royal cunt!

[coollyinterferes]

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…

They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…

…and closer…

……until..................

"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…

inarticulate waffle about dan and boundaries below the cut as to not clog up the dash

dan's attempts at gently setting and reminding his audience of his boundaries is so fascinating. he really did try to have a mutual understanding/respect with people who watched his videos and also followed him on social media of like...letting dinof not be too personal and have some kind of separation betwee dan and dinof (good example: "there are several things in my life that are none of the internet's business" vyou)

this video in particular is interesting because he goes on to talk about being back on dailybooth (which was really personal and intimate) how people should check his out, but it's like he assumes there's the understanding that he's not going to talk about the things on his db on youtube?

like he was way more kind about it than the lawless internet culture warranted and i hate that sometimes there's this picture painted of him that he's always been angry and defensive at his subscribers. i also think it's easy for people who joined the fandom after 2013ish to think he's always had that bubbling resentment but he really did try to be nice about keeping his personal life private (and not just his sexuality but even things like the whole adrian ordeal or people literally commenting/harassing his ex gfs social media)

idk it's easy to assume the angry dinof persona is the genuine dan, especially when you don't see him in other mediums like liveshows or videos of him interacting with fans or even the gaming channel where he doesn't have such a guard up and unmasks a bit. but god he just really is gentle and kind and has spent his career trying to stay that way with the people who support him, despite the reception and consistent disrespect back at him.

this doesn't really have a point other than i don't think he gets enough credit for staying as kind as he is (and i mean real dan, not dystopia daily dan) and still being willing to have the kind of unique bond with his audience that he's always been infamous for (which also is astounding how they've both managed to walk that line so well considering other creators being either too close or too blocked off from their fanbase).

idk it's just interesting how he's trying to say a lot without saying a lot and how this 18 year old kid really hoped for the best in people despite everything. dan has stayed a genuinely a lovely person when most people at this point would have become far more jaded and that's beyond impressive.

gang I'm not sure I have the courage to come out to my boxing coach

[sweetcobaltblue]

"It's finally calm. Peaceful. Relaxed here if only it was like this last year..No one i hate no one that annoys me--And specially no seaweed hair colored so called king." Kaiba don't say this out loud you fool-you seeing this? he'll sass when those few are away..damnit

"As it should be."

Mom come pick me up the voices are loud again (the image of the poster children of Creepypasta in. Slender's Mansion again. All as one big fuck ass family. Fucked up one with issues abroad. But also one of mutual understanding and what if I want them to heal and grow as people. Forever changed by the events or even what they are fundamentally but still being able to live in this world as who they are now with a support group of beings similar yet so distant from themselves. They can never go back or completely change who they are without damaging themselves or there's nothing else to go back to anymore, so all they can do is move forward. And kill people, that's always a bonus)

so this is prolly exposing Cy's Gacha Brainrot but i really fucking wish Brave Frontier was still around and the devs didnt devolve into NFTs and AI bullshit

it was genuinely one of the best mobile games at the time especially above other gachas cause it was one of the more no-pressure ones on the market and it was pretty f2p-friendly imo

the unit drop rate was also pretty generous, especially the longer the game went on and the more powerful units came out, free players could clear most content after like 3 10-pulls, which you got the resources for either by mail or just playing the main story where u got one for every sub-area clear

it also didnt have a huge reliance on the multiplayer aspects of the game; pvp, raids, and guilds were all entirely optional and the first 2 had rewards that were pretty easy to get for collection's sake, and that's what i really liked about it

on top of that, it had the best rpg combat of any mobile game i know of-- no game has been able to scratch the same itch that BF did-- not even FFBE, which was essentially "BF, but Final Fantasy" like it was essentially the same, but i feel it added TOO much to the combat and made it feel a lot slower as a result

Oof, I feel like I've been spamming posts this week, I'm so sorry. But! Wanted to talk about a few things...?

One, I'm trying to simplify finding things for anyone that stumbles upon this Tumblr. So, apologies in advance that I'll probably keep posting things as I organize it all.

Two, if any readers of, "Feathered Vengeance," happen to see this, I haven't forgotten about it! I've just been unhappy with each third chapter I've tried writing.

Three, I know I don't usually reply to comments. Most of my energy goes to trying to leave comments on art and fics - the anxiety takes me out before I can get the courage to reply to people. But I absolutely read every single one of them, and they bring me *so much* joy. But more than that? It helps me with writing.

I've noted every single comment has, in some way, speculated when Xiao figures out Venti is Barbatos. Honestly, while writing this, that hadn't been the focus of the story so... It usually got brushed off. But this is important to the readers, and so naturally, that means it's something I'm putting thought into how it'll happen. And I really hope readers approve that how... In 15 chapters.

Cripes, I really need to finish "Chasing Wings," so it can shift to a bi-weekly update schedule... 15 chapters is like, 3.5 months 😭 I'm trying...!!!

What I thought was gonna be a Noe flashback arc is turning out to be a Dham arc. Which is a win either way, so yay!
