#crap yourself

[ponchouxd]

i make the rain fall, i make the falll rain. and you still believe i am not. yet, you of little faith shall not believe when there is always a chace it is a lie. you fool, you absolute coward. this world is turn to dust and your legacy will crumble as everyone elses will. we will all be forgotten, swampt to the past as essence comtinues. for we are insignificant to this relm.

but how significant are we to the arounding people? how significant are they to us? we aer humans, we are of the same spiceses. the universe doesnt give crap us. that why we should crap eachother. thats why we should crap ourselves.

Seriously?! There is a chat gbt Anderperry fic on ao3? Gag! Get that away from me. No one wants to see your disgusting chat gbt story. I can’t call it a work because no work was done and I can’t call it fanfic because how much of a fan could you possibly be if you don’t write it yourself!? “I wanted to see a happier ending to the movie.” There are hundreds of stories you could have picked from that a real person actually created because they care about the characters. They are all infinitely better than anything a computer could have produced because they actually have a human connection and people who actually are capable of liking the movie and the characters. That tag is my happy place and it is tainted by that monstrosity. Normally I would be incredibly annoyed no matter the fandom, but for Dead Poets Society?! Really?! The movie about how art is tied with humanity?! Did you watch the movie?! Every single character would be disgusted by the use of ai to produce art. Art doesn’t exist without humanity and some cheep to imitation is an insult to anyone that actually works to make art.

Saw a comment describe killugon as 'born to be brothers, forced to be best friends'.

And I just have to say that, out of all the things that have never happened, that has never happened the most.

ok no deep burning questions but here's some silly ones

is iris a dog or a cat person? and on a similar but not exactly the same note if she was turned into a critter of some kind thru some anomaly would she be a dog or a cat (or something else :eyes:)

if she played minecraft what kinda style would she have (redstoner builder speedrunner fighter etc)

Oh my god... Iris asks.. how I've missed you!!

We're gonna do this a little differently this time. Within the ask, I'll include some little art to go along with my answers, I hope you enjoy! :]

(Perhaps you aren't into reading. If not; you're able to simply scroll through the art within this post by selecting one and swiping back and forth. That or you can scroll down like a normie.)

First question; 'Is Iris a dog or cat person?' Being honest? Neither! If she was to pick between the two, probably dogs, she has specific trauma tied to cats due to Omega-7, which I could explain in a separate ask if you'd like, but in terms of dogs? I think she feels in-between about them. I think she generally thinks they are 'cute' and is probably bonded to the idea of them being protectors (I like the idea that she bonded with some sniffer dogs while on Omega-7), but the fact that they are very high maintenance and demand a lot of her attention and physical affection is overwhelming for her. In short, they're nice to be around temporarily, but not her ideal long-term pet.

As for a pet, though, I think she'd enjoy some sort of lizard or reptile. I asked GlassAutomaton something similar to this in the past, and I agree with what he said there, so I'll just say it here as well; I can imagine her enjoying upkeeping their enclosures and the heat of their sun lamps. I also just think she has this particular affection for them because she grew up in a place where there was a significant amount of them just around regularly. They remind her of home.

I like to think she has this particular affection for snakes, salamanders and geckos in particular, and they inflict a rare case of cuteness-aggression from her when she sees them, but I feel she'd have a hard time ever asking for one as a pet, not because she thinks her overseers wouldn't allow it (I actually think they'd like her to have something other then Alpha-9 to devote herself too) but because she'd get embarrassed about being caught being so affectionate with another little being, even if they're an animal. The gods forbid Iris Thompson from baby-talking an animal in another's presence, in her eyes at least. Gotta keep up that 'Cool-Girl' persona, I guess. (The one that only exists in her head. Aha.)

Next question! 'If she was to be transformed into a little critter of some kind, which would it be?' Picking between the dog and cat, it's a bit hard to choose, I think she shares a lot of attributes with both of those animals specifically. With cats, she's similar in the aspects that she's naturally drawn to warm places, always a little bit touch and go with affection and her mood, and secretly a bit of a cuddle-bug, even if she'd never admit it. And with dogs, I'd say she's very praise-driven, even if subtley, a bit of a suck up when it comes to those she cares about, and quite demanding when she wants to be. I guess this answer ends with her being an Eye-Pet, if that reference isn't too niche. Which, from my understanding, and reflecting back on my five-year-old self's memories, is the mixture between the two animals. But who knows, maybe there's another glorious mixture of the two I'm failing to bring up.

As for any general animal I think she'd transform into, I guess I'd say it would be fun to see a Snake-Iris, which I know is something that's already been conceived somewhere. There's not a lot behind this past how I've connected her with reptiles, and the fact that I think she deserves to unhinge her jaw and swallow a mouse whole, just a little.

Final question! 'If she was to play Minecraft, what playstyle would she attach herself to?' Honestly, it's a little bit hard to choose on this one because I never really imagined her being a fan of sandbox types of games to begin with, but! I'd like to imagine she'd probably attach herself to the 'miner' type playstyle. She seems the type to get into the game for a couple of weeks and devote herself hard to one goal at a time, like upkeeping a fort and a farm and grinding for all the best materials (Atleast the ones she deems 'ethical', whatever that means. I think she'd learn about the villager trading system and be mortified.) only to get incredibly embarrassed that she wasted her time on such a 'nothing' task and never touch the game again.

Do I think she's good at grinding? Somewhat. On the most basic levels. I think she'd start to feel her brain twist inside her skull if she even tried to conceptualise a Redstone farm, let alone a mob farm, I mean, c'mon! She needs to give her opposition a fighting chance! Trapping them in a chamber and swiping at their legs is just too far for her! She may be a fighter, but she has morals..

Speaking of fighting, I think one of the things she genuinely does get good at in the game is the combat system, even if she's just practicing it on the hostile mobs. If there is one thing Iris Thompson cares about, it's her safety, and it's also most certainly being prepared.

Finally, I think far in the future, or perhaps not, her and Jacqueline (SCP-1985) would play together. Iris would probably play hardball at first when Jacqueline suggests they start a little world together but eventually cave at the prospect of building something with someone else. It's a flattering idea to her, even if she'd never admit that. I think Jacqueline has a much more laid-back playstyle. She enjoys the nature and life the game holds in its scenery. She enjoys being able to build something beautiful from scratch. I think she's an immaculate builder and devotes far too much time to perfecting her landscapes within their worlds. Makes her and Iris a neat little cottage away from it all, and while she finds it a bit ugly, doesn't abject when Iris builds fortress walls around them to keep them safe, maybe just spiffs up her watch towers a little bit.

love them (as in both of them)

[spareasterisks]

So, remember this from the Circe Saga?

EURYLOCHUS:

Captain, I have something that I must confess

Something that I must get off my chest

Until it is said, I cannot rest

Captain?

ODYSSEUS:

There's only so much left we can endure

Whatever you need to say can wait some more

Of that, I'm sure

Well the wait finally ended in the Thunder Saga.

EURYLOCHUS:

I've got a secret I can no longer keep

I opened the wind bag while you were asleep

I'm so sorry

Forgive me

wow, going out of your way to make a whole gifset about how the rings of power is supposedly ripping off jackson's lotr trilogy (you all really don't understand the concept of references), truly peak loser behavior. i wish i had that amount of time to dedicate to the things i love, let alone the things i hate.

this is pure pattern drafting flexing, I am in awe

"there are no instructions on how to use tumblr!" and "I've been here for years (joined after 2017) and didn't know this feature existed!"

do some of you just never explore things ever? like you join a site, don't check the TOS, don't check your privacy options, don't check all the settings, never look at your stuff in desktop, and only pay attention when someone makes a post like "omg turn off this feature immediately!" ?

bro. it's your house. know where everything is and what it does, the real estate agent isn't going to hold your hand

and help yourself by following @changes so you'll actually know when tumblr announces every minor change no one notices for a couple weeks until one person screams that their favorite button was moved slightly to the left on mobile

reasons why adam and michael are in love

if i missed anything let me know and i will add it

1. "when we escaped the cage and you chose not to return to heaven, and you stayed with me, is that because you love me?" self explanatory.

2. "in the cage we came to an agreement. we only had each other." dont do this to me bro. a thousand years together, all alone, and you expect them to not be in love? cmon don't be a nonsensical fool

3. when dean removed the handcuffs, michael looked at his/adam's wrists. why? because he cares. he wanted to make sure adam wasn't hurt. not once did michael ever care about the wellbeing of his other vessels, and handcuffs wouldn't hurt him. he made sure adam wasn't hurt

4. michael didn't notice lilith approach them when they were at the diner. he's literally a celestial being who can sense the presence of other celestial beings before they're there. i know what you are, michael.

5. adam is michael's first display of free will. he is god's son, he said, and i quote, "its always been my destiny to serve you." (along with other things, such as: "that would mean that i doubt him. the good son, the favorite, doubts his father." adam- "or- or! you dont know your dad as well as you think you do." "i have known my father for an eternity.", and "god lied to me. i gave everything for him, i loved him. why?") everything he did was for chuck, but he finally got to choose. and he chose adam. adam is his first sign of michael's free will

6. "i have known you for years." don't look at him like that michael 😡😡 they were in the cage together for a thousand years, they have to know everything about each other

7. in the diner scene, his gaze hardly ever left adam. theyre in love trust me bro. he was so focused on his bf

8. also in the diner scene. "you'll be my guide." michael just say you love him its okay we all know youve said it before

9. the church scene. what else must i say?

I don't think the graphic update is that bad. Yet. It can't be bad if they never improve it, but right now, its' a huge hit-or-miss. I have a large selection of characters so I got several results from 'well, that didn't change much' to 'it kinda looks weird but I can work with that' and 'that just won't do I need an update'.

Among the casualties, chiss got a crappy deal and togruta aren't very well-off either. Skin textures are just off species wide. I don't think the eyeshine is bad in itself but the intensity gets weird with some eye colours, especially with sith purebloods. Twi'leks, cathar and nautolan seem mostly unaffected. All my zabraks took the change like a charm as far as I can see. My miralukas are fine too, but they don't have to deal with eye update so.

For other species it feels like a dice roll and you eitehr got a lucky number or you didn't. My mirialans are fine, but some people who picked different face types had issues. Same for rattataki, one is fine, the other aged twenty years. My two cyborgs and humans got off alright. Though one of my human is dark v and I'm not a coward hiding her under cosmetics so maybe she's changed awfully but with the state of her dark side corruption, I can't tell.

Like i said, I don't think the world is ending. Yet. I don't think you can implement that kind of updates without a consequentials number of 'miss', the question is whether they intend to improve on what they did. I'm worried by the wide customization sale, because it could be a sign that they don't intend to do a damn thing more than what they did, and expect you to find a way to improve what they did with what you have. Not cool.

On the other hand, we're close to mid-december, it's the holiday season, even if they do something, I doubt it'll be before 2025. The sale could be something to patch up your characters while waiting for an update. I hope it is.

Honestly, I think the whole idea is good, I actually like the muscle definition more now, at least for the arms. One of my togruta character had a sleeveless outfit, but I didn't like the outline of his muscle arms or elbows at all. It's way better now, but the new problem is the update on his face that just doesn't look great.

Other people have said this, but all these new features (eyeshine, wrinkles, that eyeliner thing every character seems to have now, etc) should be customizable. Pick how much you want of all of it. Some textures need rework for sure, but other came out well. Customization is the keyword here. Let people play around with their dolls, it's all we're really asking for. Now I don't know enough about coding to know how much work it is or if it's even possible, but that would be the best possible outcome.
