Hey guys!! Sorry for the lack of posts recently! I entered a hole in the wall and when I got out I realized I didn't know how long I'd been in there, or where I was, or who I am, and I'm not sure that I'm still the person who entered that hole however long ago. Anyway, the normal posting schedule will resume as soon as I remember what my normal posting schedule was, and if I'm still the person who had that posting schedule!

Hi!!! What is the deal with that picture of kirk and spock in the hot tub. Hello

SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!

this picture of kirk and spock in a hot tub is probably one of the most famous spirk photomanips due to how utterly insane it is

it's titled "cosmic bath" (i know. i know) and was posted in 2005 on the all ages kirk/spock archive, which is now defunct but can still be found on the internet archive under thyla.com.

the artist is anki, who was a pretty well-known fandom artist in the early 2000's and did a lot of work for the side by side zine. most of their art is archived on ao3 by sidebyside_archivist, and i would include more of it here, but the hot tub pic is genuinely the only one i can post here that won't get flagged as nsfw. trust me, it is definitely worth taking a look

[miodiodavinci]

im being so so brave but also i am gripping you by the shoulders and leaning in and letting you know i am so tired of being brave

[lilybug-02]

What's your opinion on how noelle seems to be connected to angels, holiness, jesus and etc vs kris being connected with demons, devil, and unholiness, and etc. And certain other deltarune characters following this trend, jevil, spamtom, ralsei, maybe susie idk.

Woah! O-O i guess the symbols do speak for themselves if i'm being honest!

I generally don't think of those characters like that (probably as a mental block since i like drawing them silly). But it is very obvious the game wants to portray Kris, Noelle, Secret Bosses, other characters, etc., in certain "dark" or "heavenly" lights. (with tons of religious motifs)

Kris: Red eyes, knife, creepy, possessed, no visible face, 2nd best

Noelle: innocent girl🧍‍♀️, innocent deer, best grades, in love

(of course there are more nuanced instances of these characters which will be explored more as the game continues, but Ch1&2 heavily points out main character traits like the ones above.)

I'm not sure why though .w. we haven't gotten much on what the overarching theme/narrative of the game will be regarding religious allusions... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ it'll probably come up later? I think the biggest mystery, for me, is what type of religion they practice and how it relates to Ralsei's "religion" on the roaring.

------

Maybe by the end, we'll fight god and expel the thought of Hell from the mortal realm. Or maybe the players are God??? And they fight us??? Or maybe we are a false God and they must rid us from this land. I bet $10 bucks there will be an epic battle with a god-like figure at the end :)

Rewatching Unhappy Campers and Oops has me wondering if it was Barbie that orchestrated Fizz and Blitzø not seeing each other during recovery.

Whether out of anger towards Blitzø over their mom’s death, or because she genuinely thought Fizz wouldn’t want to see him, or a mix of both.

Helluva boss + hazbin hotel are actually really masterfully crafted, if unintentionally, as an example of how your brain copes with abuse. The shows themselves encourage a reading where bad actions are brushed under the rug and "both sides"ed until the victim runs back to their abuser with open arms as heartwarming music plays in the background.

Maybe he did a bad thing, but he didn't really, and he feels bad about it, and you overreacted when he tried to correct it without apologizing or acknowledging the harm he did, so you're the asshole for yelling at your rapist. No, no one will acknowledge he is a rapist. The narrative prefers we ignore that that happened. Two people with trauma have a..... miscommunication. Aww.

She feels bad for lying to you. And look, she's still trying to help you! So... can you stop being mad at her? She doesn't need to apologize or acknowledge wrongdoing, she just needs to lovebomb be there for you. Aww. So cute!

Look, I know he was a deadbeat dad. But he sees you now and he's sooooo proud of you. So really, he doesn't need to apologize or acknowledge having hurt you. All he needs to do is be a deus ex machina and now he's made it up to you! Daddy issues fixed!

This is your brain on abuse.

It's cosmic horror, really.

Man I am just SO CONFUSED. About the time line of this game.

No one is telling me how long links been gone! Or how long the botw-totk timeskip was! They all just started selling my stuff again lol. I'm going to have to get everything redyed!

Me: hey random stranger! Lore dump? You look like a lore dumper.

Kindly npc: why hullo there, link ^^! My, I haven't seen you in a while since the calamity ended! I was so worried when they said you and the princess had gone missing! But it's good to see you're well.

Me: aw, thanks. How long has it actually been tho.

Kindly npc: ^u^

Honestly, every single time the whole 'poppy playtime is a bendy rip-off' stuff ever shows up I find it all extremely unconvincing and silly.

For one thing, rip-off usually is meant to imply that it's a cheap lazy copy of a better more polished thing, and uh. Sorry but even from chapter 1? Poppy Playtime is a better game than Bendy, it has a simple but understandable story, the game manages to be thrilling, creepy, and very intense at times... I mean that Huggy chase in the vents ALONE puts it way above Batim for me.

I mean BATDR had the most slow stupid chase I've ever seen [and every other encounter with the ink demon is text telling u he's there and then a timer goes down and u get jumpscared] and batim's chases were either silly or just not nearly as theatric or terrifying as that.

When making the vent sequence I mean not only is it absolutely horrifying to realize how fast Huggy is in there but also it's so theatric and cool? The fact that you round a corner after thinking you escaped only to see a terrifying animation of that thing crawling toward you is awesome! I wish Bendy had stuff like that!

And all the stuff it shares with Bendy are generic things Bendy ripped from other horror games/media anyways. I'm not saying Poppy Playtime isn't inspired by Bendy I for sure think it is but Bendy is such a generic story that somehow fails to do tropes 100 other horror games have done any comparison only makes Poppy Playtime look better.

"It has employees being sacrificed for their company" That is not a concept Bendy invented, literally look at any of the sci-fi horror series Bendy is very inspired by. This is literally a twist in the original Alien.

"It has a scary woman forcing you to do tasks for her" Once again, not a concept Bendy invented, a scary mysterious person forcing you to do fetch-quests is a concept found in tons of horror media. And at least Poppy Playtime gave you a chase with her and let you defeat her, look at poor malice. She's barely on screen for more than 10 minutes before she gets stabbed.

"It has a cult worshipping the monster" This is something tons of horror games and media have done too. I mean In The Tall Grass has a guy who worships a giant magical rock in the middle of a grass maze, Bioshock [which Bendy has only been taking more and more direct inspiration from while failing to grab any of the compelling parts] also had a lot of themes of religion and cult-ish behavior, almost every horror media franchise has at one point done a cult thing.

Bendy couldn't even come up with a reason Sammy worships the ink demon, the best motivation we've ever gotten is just that 'he's crazzyyyy the ink made him insaneeee'. Who is the cheap rip-off here?

At least Poppy Playtime gave their cultist a motive for worshipping the monster + a proper boss fight that feels intense and looks awesome! Bendy didn't even let you kill Malice [she got stabbed in front of you and then just collapsed on the floor how thrilling] meanwhile you get to kill three of the villains in Poppy Playtime and the gameplay and action in those scenes have only gotten better as the game went on.

I mean Sammy walks into a room and goes "AAA SCARY I'M BEING MURDERED" then later shows up and for NO REASON sees a normal human man and assumes it's the ink demon before once again someone else kills him for you. In Poppy Playtime you defeat Catnap as he floods the world with this horrible nightmare-inducing gas that intensifies the color palette and his design. Fight off versions of him that are illusions that you need your flare gun for, then watch in a wonderful animation as he mistakes the monster for his savior before getting killed by it, in a brutal way I might add, which game are we accusing of being cheap, lazy garbage again?

I just find this argument to be people who Really Really need to find a reason to hate Poppy Playtime which I think is silly. The devs being weird, shady people is already enough reason to dislike the game, you don't need to invent reasons why secretly every part of the game is malicious or bad. But esp when I see Bendy fans saying they don't support Poppy Playtime or dislike it bc of its devs or even saying its cringe ummmm.

I have bad news about the fact Bendy's devs are worse and it took not one, but TWO over an hour long videos to cover it all. Plus the Bendy games are just the worse games in every aspect, if I could sell my batim copy for a copy of Poppy Playtime I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Saying this as a bendy fan, we have no right to be super judgy towards Poppy Playtime. If Poppy Playtime is embarrassing cringe, Bendy is too and is way more embarrassing of an interest. We shouldn't spread misinformation just because we all want to hate Poppy Playtime, you can dislike Poppy Playtime without making up a bunch of nonsense to justify it.

Honestly seeing people just blatantly be unfairly mean to Poppy Playtime only makes its critics look worse and makes it hard to take any backlash to the games seriously. Because surprise surprise if you spread misinformation to make a point people will quickly stop listening to Anything you have to say bc they won't trust you're telling the truth anymore.

Kirby Star Allies is one of, if not my absolute favorite Kirby games, and I recognize while it's on paper one of the weaker entries in the core series, it appeals to me personally on multiple levels and I think I should revisit it more

i applied for this job (that i feel a little overqualified for. it isn’t work i’ve specifically done before but i’ve done enough that is similar & have kept a comparable job for years & also it’s listed as entry level with pretty low pay) and i got an email that i didn’t even get an interview
