TF2 x SU au fusions!

oof this took too long but i finally made it !

I kept @gracefireheart Andalusite (HeavyMedic) and @cariocay ‘s Turquoise (EngieSpy) (that i just realized their account got deactivated just a few days ago im sad now) fusion designs because i just found them perfect and whenever i wanted to try making my own designs i always ended up with making something similar to theirs since i was very influenced so i just kept them! They’re so awesome plz check the original artists!

my designs :3 :

< Part 2 >

About the fusions:

I tried to choose a theme for every fusion that suits the characters like Spessartite (DemoSolly) is a warrior i put Demo’s sword with Soldier’s shield thing well he doesn’t specifically have a shield but yknow the helmet thing i thought that could work.

He’s very powerful, strong and jump into action without a second thought, while he possesses immense strength and a love for loud and chaotic things, his battle prowess is a double-edged sword since his attacks lack precision. however, this unpredictability often leaves his enemies confused and scrambling to defend. he fights more efficiently when drunk lol

Lepidolite (MedicSpy) is a plague doctor, he is very inspired by Hannibal Lecter (nbc Hannibal lol shout out to that one Anon who recommended it for me to watch it lol) at first i wanted to give him a bistouri as a weapon, since it would suit Medic’s saw with Spy’s small knife, but then i felt the fusion was leaning too much towards Medic than Spy, so i put a cane instead to give that old idk gentleman look :P

He is polished and sophisticated, with a hint of underlying sadism and very precise in his movements, he meticulously analyzes his opponents, exploiting weaknesses with surgical precision before jumping into action and strike right where it hurts the most, the cane appears to be a simple walking stick, but inside is a hollowed core that had a retractable, poison-tipped blade, and his poison isn't fast-acting he enjoys toying with his victims, watching as the venom slowly takes hold, fueling his twisted sense of amusement. they are far from being the strongest fusion but they rely a lot on making their opponent weaker by their ability to attack precise hits as well as poisoning them!

Carnelian (SniperScout) his design was inspired by a equestrian outfit (he was the hardest to design tbh bc i wanted his design to be specifically different from the others since Scout is half human so i wanted this "human" aspect to show in the fusion).

He is a walking paradox, he's got Sniper's calm confidence with Scout's hyperactive energy, he loves a good plan but his execution is often fueled by pure adrenaline, he can zip across the battlefield with incredible speed, dodging attacks and flanking enemies. good at mid range and long range attacks but weak at close range, has internalized monologues with himself a lot, he appears calm on the surface however, his foot constantly taps, he fidgets with his slingshot, he cannot stays in place for too long. enjoys taking challenges.

Rubellite (DemoPyro) is a robot with a 50’s cartoon style but with like a creepy vibe to it, their voice sounds like a broken radio perpetually stuck on a laugh track, is both infectious and unsettling.

They just as powerful as Spessartite but just a bit more agile and lean more on the defense style than offense, their body stretches in a cartoony way and battles become a twisted playground for them, a child's game where they hop and blow things up everywhere. they’re very joyful and loves to have fun while making chaos, they usually make jokes but no one understands their muffled voice so they often laugh all by themselves lol the weapon actually expands where the ball and the shaft of the mace connects there’s a chaine (i didnt draw it cuz there was already too much going on in the drawing lol) which helps them reach target from close to mid range easily, they twist and turn their body in very flexible ways before swatting their weapon at their target.

♠︎ If you want to suggest a pair for the next fusion please just comment here DO NOT send it in my ask box plz !!

And if you want to make your own fusion designs/fanart go ahead ! id love to see other people’s interpretations could be ! just don’t forget to tag me and add the tag ( tf2 x su au) :D

hope you enjoy !

FICTION GAME VS REALITY REAL LIFE

Anon gets mad that artist draw a horrible FICTION character

artist says this changes nothing about them or there moral values but says we can change them in AUs or FanFics

also Anon saying no you shouldn't change them cuz that ruined the character

WARNING THIS SECTION GOES IN THE MORE SERIOUS TOPIC I WANTED TO COVER WHEN IT COMES TO OUTLAST TRAILS THIS SECTION WILL INCLUDE MENTIONS OF

HARRASMENT, BULLYING, THREATS AND OTHER SESITIVE TOPICS (I RECOMMEND MINORS DON'T INTERACT WITH THIS POST) YOU HAVE BEEN WARN!!!!!!!!!

Ok I want to talk about this problem in the Outlast trails community for some time now. look I love this community and all the amazing art that comes from it and artist sharing there masterpieces and collabing with each other to make the best works they can and I really happy for that but Sometimes yalls can t keep control in this community thats made for sharing art and Just for fun.

I seen artist get harassed and send nasty and DEATH threating messages for just drawing a character they don t like or don't see as Hot looking or just how the character is in general LOOK I GET IT OUTLAST HAS A LOT OF FRICK UP CHARACTERS AND ALL BUT THAT DOSENT MEAN AS ARTIST WE CAN T DRAW THEM BEACUSE THERE FICTION AND NOT REAL PS. (NOT DEFENDING THERE ACTIONS CUZ THOSE ACTIONS ARE HORRIBLE )

Moving on people who draw these characters do not change there moral values they make them cuz they like drawing them in Funny stupid moments in art and thats the funny and fun part.

I see most people who draw characters or make AU s OR FANFICS of Franco barbi mostly get harassed and I get it he wired and into baby stuff but I Like him a lot not because he horrible but because he a very interesting and funny character to explore and His VA did a fantastic job with him heck I hope they give his VA a raise for the lines he had to say cuz that must have ben hard to say all that. heck without Franco the outlast trails community wouldn't be where it is today and I got into outlast trails because of him cuz he just a funny character and his voice lines are funny as heck. LOL and thx to franco other artist got interested into outlast trails due to his personality and back story was very sad but interesting. So thx u Franco :)

same goes for Coyle his va also did a awesome job and he also one of my favs.

what I am trying to say is if you don t like seeing artist draw those FICTINOAL CHARACTERS just block them and move on with life I promise yalls those FICTINOAL CHARACTERS ani t going to hurt you cuz there not real and I know half of yalls were crashing out cuz none of these FICTINOAL CHARACTERS were your valentine's this year (I know that feeling LOL) AND ALSO ONE MORE THING STOP SENDING DEATH THREATS AND NASTY MESSAGE AND TELLING ARTIST TO GO OFF THEMSELFS FOR DRAWING STUFF YOU DON'T LIKE.

YOU SAYING THAT THESE ARTIST MUST BE HORRIBLE HUMAN BEAINGS FOR DRAWING FICTINOAL CHARACTERS AND THEN TELLING THEM TO GO OFF THEMSELVES ,HARRASSING AND BULLYING THEM INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION IS NOT OK AND WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON WHO ACUTALLY DOES EXSIT???? YOUR ACTING LIKE A HORRIBLE PERSON

I want to end this by saying on how to avoid these types of people make sure to turn off ANON ASK option in the setting if needed block accounts and move on and don t let these people stop you from making art that you want to make. make friends keep practicing and learning to grow your art skills.

AS artist we help each other grow not chase each other away

and just bc we like to draw these character doesn't mean we agree with them we just like to make STUPID MEMES OUT OF THEM and FANFICS AND AU's BE SAFE OUT THERE ARTIST.

EDIT: at the end of the day FICTION IS FICTION IS NOT GOING TO EFFECT YOU. YALLS TREAT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS LIKE THERE REAL AND TREAT REAL PEOPLE LIKE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS LET PEOPLE MAKE WHAT THEY WANT TO MAKE.

Also if people want to make AUs for these FICTIONAL CHARACTERS so they won t be so horrible then let them FICTION IS FICTION t the end of the day IS NOT GOING TO EFFECT YOU.

yalls keep saying "NO you cant draw them there horrible" (like there real) and when we do change them for they won t be horrible people for you can stop complaining you still complain saying "no don t change them that ruined the character " like bro make up your mind

I end this by saying KEEP MINORS OFF THE INTERNET AND ADULT SPACES I SAY THIS AS ADULT MYSELF.

Rambling About Frog Everhood

To completely pivot from my previous posts, I want to introduce this world to Frog. Frog from Everhood. I.e. the best character in that game and imo one of the most interesting characters I've ever had the fortune of stumbling across.

Oftentimes whenever I see discussion of Frog (which isn't much given Everhood's niche nature), they often describe him as the "Anti-Sans" or "Anti-Flowey" cuz Undertale is the most common source of comparison for Everhood despite them being nothing alike. The basic gist of his character is that he guides you along subtly throughout the game purely to then convince you to kill the inhabitants of Everhood for their own good once you get the means to.

Everhood's world is basically a pocket dimension that all of humanity (or most of them anyways) was invited into by higher beings with the promise of immortality. But after billions of years, only around 50-60 people are left, stuck in a series of voids and wastelands that make up the game world. Learning this information turns the quirkiness and strangeness of a lot of what you encounter into something more bittersweet and sad, as you have the context that this is ALL these people have because they've done nothing but destroy the world built for them. It's impossible to know what sort of people the characters were when they first entered Everhood - how many different identities and lives and sagas of their immortality they went through before landing on what you see them as.

Frog alone is the one that asks you to put them out of their misery. He says they don't understand how unhappy they are after wallowing in their own misery for MILLIONS of years. It's a bit of a hard sell to make the "kill everyone" route in a game the best ending, but Everhood sells it! It really shows you what that kind of thing can do to a human brain via the mental issues a lot of the characters suffer through.

Which is what makes Frog's Wrath such a compelling fight

Frog's Wrath is probably the most well-known thing about this game, especially as its theme "Revenge" has leaked out to becoming background music in a lot of YouTube videos. But just think about that title: "Revenge." By refusing Frog, by acting as if you know better than him, you are robbing Everhood of its freedom. In his eyes, it's you not being able to stomach the now in favor of the bigger picture. And you, as the only person capable of freeing these people, are selfishly sticking to your own limited understanding of a world you barely know.

Frog knows killing you is impossible, so he tries to do the next best thing:

Make you suffer for your actions.

Frog's Wrath is THE hardest fight in the game. It's long, it's constantly throwing things at you, and even on the easiest difficulty it can be overwhelming enough to take a few hours from you. But it sells it SO WELL. Both the music and the gameplay work together in perfect harmony to sell Frog's anger and frustration, to be so close to victory and ultimately peace and yet have it torn away. Who knows how long it'll take before someone like you can finish the job?

Everhood isn't a game with deep characters - heck it's barely a few hours long - but it's a masterclass in using music and subtle storytelling to tell a really compelling saga about broken people in an even more broken world, and forcing you to make poor choices for the greater good.

...whichisalsowhyeverhood2issuchadisappointment BUT THATS FOR ANOTHER DAY

TLDR Play Everhood

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Idk if I was just unfortunate enough to end up on the wrong side of the fandom or if this is a common problem but I hate how underrated Eldigan is and how much shit he gets. He's one of the most important characters in G1 and yet either gets reduced to the same two fucking jokes every time, or is unnecessarily hated on for being "dumb" which I never really got that? At all? He believes he has to be an honorable knight and serve the king and shit, people always baby all of the other characters that can't overcome how they've been living most of their lives (not limited to fe, a good example is Mafuyu Asahina from pjsk) yet for some reason this one specific fucking guy is expected to choose logic over emotion to be liked by the fandom, which lowkey also seems like a media literacy problem? Characters like Mafuyu are written to be characterised as lost and sad, but Eldigan is written to seem like a stoic knight who doesn't straight up crash out from the pressure and instead like forces himself to be honorable and all, and suddenly this shithole of a fandom cannot understand that there's more nuance to his writing than what's on the surface?? I will defend this man with my life (idk if I'm defending him from air cuz I seem to be the only person on the eldigan hate side of fe fandom how do I get out)

Hi so Eldigan is the king of an entire nation in a plot-driven strategy game and Mafuyu is a teenager in a character-driven hatsune miku rhythm game. that's why they're treated so differently by their fanbases.

Also if Celica, Eirika and countless other women in fiction get dragged by the fandom for making "dumb" decisions and acting based on emotion, then i think eldigan also being criticised for that is fine <3

[daemon-in-my-head]

Haven't done one of these in ages but ask game kinda ish except I'm including an obnoxious twist?

Songs that describe ur Durge or Durgetash in situations - but without lyrics, were going with vibes lads

Here are the rules: it must be an instrumental piece. No lyrics. For further details nd exaples see the end of the post. Also, explain why you chose it. What's the vibe you're going for? How does it relate to the character? Are there particular sections in the music you have specific visions or smth for? A rather quiet passage that resembles their emotional state? Is it messy because they are messy? That kind of stuff.

Their overall vibe, what's the song that makes you go 'yeah that's them in a nutshell'?

If Durge had an intro; what's the bg music and if ya feel like it, what's happening at which parts of the track?

Act 1; what plays on the rock behind their tent if they had one?

Act 2; if their inner monologue plays, what track accompanies it?

Act 3 - before the temple; how we doing? What's our vibe? What little tune accompanies them? Are we a lil tense, relaxed, what's going on?

Act 3 - after the temple; what music speaks for their choices and mindset? How fucked is the sword coast?

Faerûn is a magic medival setting, the esteemed upper city gatherings didn't have a rock star to create the ambiance, so what would the little ensemble play to describe whatever a tyrant and a Bhaalspawn got going on to the listening patriars pre tadpole?

Obv, what's the vibe like after that slight amnesia and forgetting all about the sad little racoon man like between em? What updated version does the ensemble play for the nosy patriars?

Also generally if it differe; what's the vibe of pre tadpole Durge like?

The vibe some time after the epilogue when the dust settled - what describes this 'new' durge?

Bonus cuz why not; the one piece of music that describes Gort or his side best?

I should specify what I mean with instrumental: grand orchestras, classical pieces, a single guitar, reimaginations of classic pieces or pop songs, movie or game soundtracks, any kind of instrumental track rly, the only retirement is that there's no distinguishable lyrics. Vocals are fine if it's atmospheric like for example, the vocals in DOS2 main theme or the nightsong track. Let the music and vibes speak for themselves. Think about what ur listening and what aspects of your characters it matches. How is it of relevance to them?

[eyesundernightfall]

some TPOT 17 thoughts hehe

!(MASSIVE SPOILERS OFC)!

okay ngl this ep was like rlly good??? In terms of recent eps I’d rank it between episode 16 and 15 (bc 16 was decent n 15 was peak I do not take criticism/j)

the opening was neat, any eliminated contestant content is greatly appreciated (also SAW MY BELOVED-)

Skipping over a bit, the challenge was rlly goofy (I’d expect nothing less from bottle lmao) although I have a slight fear that bottle will go power hungry or smth and kinda become the new pillow, in terms of her goofiness/spontaneous nature and stuff but she seemed fine this ep, and showed genuine concern for her team being ufe, so I think we’re good fn

also WE GOT PILLOW N YF OUT LESGOOO

I honestly didn’t rlly like either of them by the end. I could see the appeal in others liking them ig but pillow just felt counterproductive on purpose for her “research” and YF was just kinda there. He had a cool partnership w/ PT ig???? But that felt like it was 3/4 off camera w/ not much to it so I wasn’t particularly sad to see either of them leave

I liked the idea of splitting the teams up into representative groupings, and also can’t wait for the merge where we could get more interactions like the ones we got this episode

Also poor tv man the guy had such a valid crash out like honestly-

he got ditched and then got a spider mech suit thing like hell yea u tell them (i still rlly like both grassy n tree but TV was still so justified imo)

btw POOR TWO

THEYRE SO WORRIED ABT GATY WHO I ALSO WANT TO SEE BTW WHERE SHE ATTTTT

My best guess is either Gaty’s locked in some special area for one to maybe use as a bargaining chip in case of emergency or perhaps she’s just lost in the flower field. who knows

now for the 3 main things/scenes I wanted to talk about

1- BOOK WAS ICE COLD AND I AM HERE FOR IT

ok it was more like a lil pissed off and very exasperated BUT STILL IM GLAD SHE GOT THAT BOUNDARY SET YOU GO GIRL

On the other hand tho I do feel kind of bad for pencil, especially since I do kind of relate to her in terms of missing ppl or memories that have moved on (??) ig?? More on that later

I definitely don’t want either of them to go anytime soon and hopefully make it to the merge, but I think there’s a solid chance book might get out next ep ToT (VOTE BOOK BTW WE CAN SAVE HER PLEASE I AM STARVEDDD FOR BOOK CONTENT AND SHE MUGHT GET OUT SOON IN BFDIA TOO NUUUUUU)

Anyway, now that she’s been rejected by her last old ally in the game I think I want to see pencil either get fully ruthless n cutthroat with no room for ANYONE (and do this even more then before) or maybe finally open up to new allies? Idk I just want her and book to stay and see what goes down

2- ONE GOT HER SHIT ROCKED???? BY DONUT OF ALL PPL?????? LETS FUCKING GO??????? To b clear one is easily one of if not my fav algebralien but I rlly wanna c her get her ass beat that was awesome. She’s genuinely a great villain and her borderline psychotic episode w/ Donut showing how desperate she is for these deals was incredible to watch MAJOR props to sonderingemily (I believe that’s how u spell it pls forgive) for the voice acting that was so cool

this also solidifies her status as a villain even further, like it was kinda already pretty obvious, but now we see the lengths she will go to for her plan it is greatttt

I also love donut like 10x more now I already thought he was a great character but this just made him better like wow (plus he’ll hopefully stick around for longer bc of this in the event CY is ufe anytime soon yippe)

lastly, I wanna talk about the pen & pencil scene cuz that shit hit DEEP

I’m not gonna lie, pen’s words n whole situation hit hard for me personally especially when irl I’ve been dealing with some messy social stuff, working through things and emotionally processing some past events as well. I’m wishing for older times, definitely romanticizing them quite a bit but those times were still better than this. now I’m asking myself who I want to spend my time around as I grapple w/ the fact that the people I do still hang around from before have changed, some seemingly for the worse, but at the same time, they’re links to parts of my past I wish I still had, so what do I do with that? The experience of not being able to quite move on from a memory or piece of the past while others have, especially when they were closely tied to those memories before, is a very real and isolating experience that the jnj team honestly captured wonderfully in this scene, and I actually listened to just the audio after I’d finished the episode just to reflect on pen’s words in my own life. I get this is still technically ‘baby object kids show’ but honestly this episode actually felt deeper/more mature in many aspects, and this scene really tied it together for me in a very personal way that I was genuinely not expecting when I put the video on, and I think that’s good. It still had some really well done humour, but it hit home in a very piercing way for me today. I like the contrast of pencil’s near total shut out of the world while pen is @ least trying to be near others more, although you can still see him reminiscing about before, which is also smth I completely understand the duality of

also even though BAGGED is ufe I don’t have much worry of pen getting out (which I rlly don’t want him to) since he’s clearly got a pretty huge arc going atm and I want to see it keep going

closing thoughts on the ep, I liked the challenge, but the characters rlly brought it home today. The challenge brought a nice way of splitting the teams up to basically get a whole ep of cross team interactions to continue arcs that have been taking a while up until now which was rlly nice

I can’t wait to see what one will b up to as she clearly sinks into desperation w/ her deals, and now donut’s a loose canon, likely being able to spread info abt her freely

there was even more buildup to other events that will hopefully get payoffs soon, and I can’t wait for that, but that’s all from me :))

[kaimactrash]

Gonna post the little headshots used for this piece of many of my favourite characters, but in alphabetical order rather than the order they appeared in the gif

This is part 7!

Annontation of each below the cut

1.Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z was one of those characters I just wanted to be as a child, I just think he's real neat.

2. Pinkie Pie from MLP FIM is a character I love who I feel like I wouldn't usually, loud, annoying, sometimes a total ass, but yet she still pulled me in. She's got a lot of good in her too.

3.Pink Onyx from the @pink-onyx-au I really love this AU and the development of Jasper and by extension Pink Onyx, has been really enjoyable so far, really impressed by it and excited to see more.

4. Puar from Dragon Ball z is one of those characters I just like cuz he's so gosh darn cute.

5.Raine Whispers from The Owl House I loved getting to know them slowly over the course of the series, but I miss them so bad now.

6.Doug Rattmann from Portal, if anyone has followed my main account for 13 years (I don't think so tbf) you'll know I was obsessed with this dude big time, loved a mentally ill person being so capable yet still obviously effected by it, his song, that scary audio of him ranting and whispering when you get close to his murals, the mystery spanning both games, he deserves more love.

7.Paul Tejada from New Vegas was one of the best companions in that game in my experience, I really enjoyed getting to know him as we traveled the waste, and seeing his different reactions to different events. 100/10 knocked it outta the park

8. Rex also of New Vegas is one of those animal companions I immediately attach to, I love his quest with its multiple endings, and I'm glad I was nice enough to the kings to get to travel with him.

9.Rian from The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance Our tragic prince of pain for that series, he loses EVERYTHING man, it is so damn sad to see, as is the plight of all under the Skeksis, but he really grabbed my heart. his voice acting and puppetry is great and really endears you to the characters. Whenever I see him I hear SkekSil in my head saying "Gobbled up by Gobbles", it wont stop.

[lerihon-posts]

Dark Urge and Grieving Gortash

This might be a bit disjointed cuz I'm typing this instead of sleeping but thinking about Durge and the aftermath of Gortash's inevitable death. Especially in endings where the party breaks the alliance and kills him. Especially a Durge that's been fairly successful in their quest lines. (Keeps Isobel from being kidnapped, saves all the Tieflings and Zevlor ECT from moonrise)

Do we think Durge even realizes at first that they are grieving? Like yeah absolutely they are aware that grief is a thing and maybe they've felt something they thought was like it about Alfira. But being aware of something is one thing and experiencing it a whole other ball game. Like thinking about it pre-amnesia they're this peak, hand designed by Bhaal Bhaalspawn right? Literally designed to deal out death in droves. Grief would be a pretty useless and largely if not near entirely unfelt emotion by Durge at this point. Grief is something they inflict not experience.

Then you get to Durgetash era, weather platonic or romantic, and it's all kinda agreed by fandom that Gortash is the first person not only to care about Durge but the first person Durge themselves actually care about. A friendship and/or romance so impactful it freaks Durge out. This is what got me thinking; if this is Durge having a crisis over feeling attached to someone and reluctant to kill them for the first time theres no likely way they would have gotten to the point of truly mourning someone before or at least not since climbing the ranks to be papa bhaal's favorite prince/princess.

Now just thinking about an end game Act three resisting Durge standing in Gortash's office with Karlach and very likely their new LI (mine was Gale), deed done and looking down at Gortash's -"no, Enver, he's Enver to us" that persistent voice a the back of their head says- body and feeling that first bit of cold numbness spreading from their heart throughout their chest. Pressure behind their eyes and nose as an Urge, not to harm but to cry, build just as slowly. If it's another character that got the killing blow in maybe unable to look them in the eye with out feeling this sense to *Scream*. A Durge recently born a new free of Bhaal but not their lingering past self, still new to being a honest to gods person and not knowing what was *wrong* with themselves??. They cast speak with dead and hear Bane from Enver's lips and suddenly their body feels like something they have to pilot remotely, their throat burns with a vague wish to be sick.

Do they go to Halsin or Shadowheart later once back at the Elfsong tavern and forcing themselves through whatever this is to comfort Karlach? Chest aching and something all together bitter they don't want to admit to churning in their gut. Do they seek a one of them quietly to ask for a magical heal for this obviously physical poison they must be suffering from only to be told nothing seems to be wrong with them? Do they go through their symptoms confused and feeling numbed and overwhelmed at the same time only for Halsin or Shadowheart to finally reach in through their tadpoles to see what Durge is feeling and then have to explain to Durge that " oak father preserve you, but yours is but a profound sadness; your grieving," Halsin says, or Shadowheart with "you suffer no mere flesh wound im afraid, but that of a much deeper experience; Loss."

Just. All those posts about the dark urge coming to grips with what Gortash actually meant to their old selves, the only people that understood and cared for each other, the only two people who mattered. But then also with the added angst of someone navigating that sadness for probably the first time with no knowledge of how to do that while surrounded by people who wouldn't be able to really understand why you felt that way about someone like Gortash and also yeah there's no real time to process this you gotta fight an elder brain in the morning.

okay so ,,. my thoughts on A Minecraft Movie bc silly

made this part of the post all colorful bc yea

(spoiler warning sorta) (well yes) (very angry catto ahead.. be warned!!!) (well sort of, i tried to stay calm ish.)

(also eyestrain warning bc lots of wordz,,.,)

i typically wont rant about this type of stuff because personally i don't care that much. but seeing the reviews on A Minecraft Movie is actually sad, especially coming from someone who watched it in theaters and actually enjoyed it.

., keep in mind i wrote this after i watched a very angering review video from one of those "film critics"" who only say bad stuff about everything. so i apologize if my tone is very... y'knoww. (literally can't think of the word rn ;p) however i edited in some stuff after to kinda make it sound less rude but idkkk. i don't think it is but it might be so apologies in advance if you disagree with me.

you are allowed to have your opinion, and i'm allowed to have mine.

please take this with a teeny tiny grain of sand.

with that in mind onto the really long probably pointless rant

----------------

to get straight to the point, i absolutely LOVED the movie. here's why:

i liked the awkward sorta wacky humor, it gives off napoleon dynamite vibes, early 2009 movies type deal. (duh, it's by the same director.)

the cheesy lines, it feels like it adds a sort of wholesomeness to it??

the plot, unlike a lot of movies i've seen recently, the plot is stable, well built up, and understandable.

the character development, sure it occasionally seemed like it was off track in the beginning, but TONS of movies do that and i don't see anybody complaining about that. plus, it makes sense later in the movie.

the acting and the actors, (need i say more?) okay i will. i love how steve literally just says random things when it happens. my deadass can't stop laughing at "FLINT AND STEEL‼️‼️" "CHICKEN JOCKEY🤭🤭" and all the other silly lines they have.,,.- it's not supposed to be serious. why so serious. it's silly. it's fun. live a little.

the soundtrack, it's a good mix between the original minecraft soundtrack and some other songs fitting the moment, don't necessarily know how to explain it but the pigstep scene was really cool to me.

, heck, the art style? it grew on me in the first couple weeks of the trailer release. i feel like that's just people's opinion that it's bad because they're not USED to it. ofc, they want it to be the standard 3d minecraft animation style, like, literally every other minecraft animation EVER?? i like the originality.

and the REFERENCES? oh god the references i loved them so much. technoblade, cooked chicken farm from 11 years ago, everything. just look closer and you'll notice a LOT.

people tend to complain about the plot of it, but yeah, that's why it's called "A" minecraft movie. it's not SUPPOSED to be following a specific plot. I believe the main elements are from minecraft legends, though, but it takes different elements from different games, such as the boots of swiftness from minecraft dungeons and the references to the early concepts of the game. also, just the layout. if you didn't watch it in theaters, then i'll have you know ALEX was referenced at the end!!! i always stay for the ending snippets after the credits. also unrelated sort of related, the text color in the credits was lowkey a vibe. like it kinda hurt my eyes but in a good way kinda vibe.

what i'm saying is, i feel like people are giving it a bad review either cuz they're being biased and crabby, or because literally everyone else on the internet is doing so. let people have fun. go outside. you're not a movie critic, you're a basement dweller. a very nit picky one at that. but what do i know maybe my recommendations are just screwed up with negative stuff. i try to block it out as much as possible, not interact and feed into it and such. but it's what's trending, so i'll just live with that. and wait for something i don't care about to come along, for people to complain about instead. (i'm calling it lollll) (i literally hate the internet sometimezzs ughhh)

or maybe, you just don't like it cuz it's not ur thing. maybe you don't like it because you were expecting something different. maybe you don't like it for other reasons.

that's fine too.

, don't be biased based on the first trailer and impressions. be open minded. have fun. (psst! you fell for the ragebait!! you're giving them more money!!!!)

also, the fact that i see stuff like "why does everybody think it's so great i didn't like it" is absolutely mind boggling. look around!! EVERYBODY is talking about how bad it is. EVERYBODY is agreeing with the majority, because that's simply how people are. you are NOT in the minority for disliking the movie, pal. join the crowd.

(again, maybe i'm just on a bad side of the internet, and there's another side that's talking about how good it is. trust me i'm looking!!! ;w; )

----

goodness, apologies for my tone! i'm usually not this,, how do i put it,,,. defensive? i usually don't swear haha qwq

List of things you like about Linebeck? rat man <3

Oh man where do I begin.

- I have a soft spot for AH with hearts of gold, guys who are cruel in the beginning and then develop and actually are very sweet, they just had a tough upbringing. I don’t have many thoughts on Linebeck’s backstory, but he is a good person deep down, he’s just annoying <3

- his design is everything to me. Like, he looks so weird and goofy but so sexy at the same time??? Like how??? Also I love Jack sparrow and he def has a more well kept Jack sparrow vibes.

- I’m a HUGE sucker for father figures. Idc what people say Linebeck is a DAD against his will and I will not take any opposing opinion.

- his theme SLAPS SO HARD it’s amazing. It’s one of the few good songs ph has.

- I just love his relationship with Link, the nicknames he gives him, the way he talks to him, the way he carry’s Link as if he weighs five pounds. It’s CUTE. It’s not wholesome but it’s FUN

- there IS a wholesome moment in the game and that’s where Linebeck acts more serious and asks Ciela to look after Link. He cares so much for the kid and really doesn’t want him to get hurt I’m so HH

- the potential for a complex character with him is so fun. I feel like he really struggles with his self worth, he’s one of those people that act all high and mighty but he secretly loathes himself. I feel like the manga really points this out, when he’s possessed by Bellum and he’s about to kill himself, he tells Link to not be a worthless man like him. He thinks he’s worthless and doesn’t feel like he belongs. In the manga he doesn’t like being called a hero because he abandoned his crew. He has a lot of issues that he keeps hidden and I LOVE HIM.

- this man is so pathetic oh my gosh I want to marry him.

- I feel like he longs for adventure and longs to be a big named hero, but he really can’t cuz he’s not built like that. So the adventure with Link gives him a taste of that and he loves it, even if it’s scary he loves it so much.

- the music at the end of the final boss with bellumbeck, I go FERAL. The song dark waters beginning with violins playing a dark tune, then it goes into his theme showing that he’s fighting back, but then his theme starts to get more desperate since he’s losing the battle with Bellum, and then finally he loses. And then the final boss song is SOOOO GOOOD GUYS like the beginning is a dramatic version of the phantom chase, it has trumpets that sounds like Bellum’s battle theme, and then Linebeck’s theme that sounds more sad it KILLS ME OUGH I LOVE THAT WHOLE THINF

-I love how he acts on the sea cuz he’s not a coward on sea, I feel like when he’s on the water he acts how he wants to be. Heroic, brave, competent. He’s so lovely, you can tell he loves the water.

- he can’t swim, like why can’t he swim 😭😭

- this is a little personal but I loathe myself a lot cuz I feel like I’m a pathetic loser who’s completely incompetent and a worthless human being and knowing that I adore a character who is like that makes me feel a little better about myself? It’s complicated but he’s just like me fr.

- I love how before you go to the last dungeon he just, acts really sweet towards you? He tells you to have fun and to adventure and I feel like he really genuinely cares for Link and yeah. He’s such a dad fr.

- he’s such a unique character in the Zelda series. Like there’s not a lot of actual father figures hence why Rusl is also very unique to me, and Linebeck is kinda the same to me. But, I already said this in a post, he’s barely connected to Link or Bellum in any way in the game. He never knew Link, he’s not apart of some magical race, he’s not connected to the ocean king, the only thing he’s connected to is his knowledge of the ghost ship. He’s just some guy and I really love that. Unspecial characters are my favorite. And I know the manga is different but I prefer him being some guy

- we don’t know how good of a father he was but we do know he was a good grandfather 🥺🥺🥺

- in spirit tracks it seems that he did learn to embrace adventure and loved puzzles and stuff, which I think is neat.

- the ending where he wishes for his ship back, like it’s kinda cliche but it‘s so sweet 😭😭😭 he loves his ship more than treasure.

- he got found family’d HARD.

- ok there’s some parts of this scene that I don’t like but when Oshus promises him a wish and he goes full 180 and his music is super dramatic and he wants nothing more than to save the ocean king like he’s so dumb

- I love his banter with Ciela I think it’s so fun, tho I do feel like Ciela is a little too mean, they’re relationship means a lot to me <3

- when he knocks over tetra’s statue like PLS HES SO DUMB.

- he says he’s a lone wolf but he’s really not he wants friends.

- the whole thing with Jolene is so insane and so funny to me 😭😭😭

- his letter to Link after you visit Zauz is weirdly sweet to me like he can’t figure out how to put things into words and he can’t say it in person so he just puts it in a letter cuz it’s easier for him. He’s just like me FRRRRRR.

- he’s so scrunkley I wanna shake him in a pringles can.

- I just love him a lot

So the other day I made a funny haha joke about a Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 AU for Emmrook.

And I don’t think I could earnestly do it (at least not right now with my other project going on) but the idea of it is fucking hilarious and absolutely haunting my brain. So now my mind is plagued with “lyrical rewrites” for Great Comet except now it’s just a cracked version of DATV so I’m going to list a few that have come to mind.

“There’s a war going on out there somewhere, and Davrin/Lucanis isn’t here…” <- this would be repeated A LOT throughout the story, as the musical does. But my partner debated if Davrin of Lucanis should be Andre and both are too good for me to decide. (The going to war aspect screams Davrin and the Wardens but the being away a lot and a “prince” feels very Lucanis and if we throw Illario in there too than OH BOY)

“And this is all in your codex! You are playing a video game! Gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep with the plot. Because it’s a complicated triple A title, everyone’s got nine different names. So look it up in your codex! We appreciate it, thanks a lot!” <- this would never show up but I can’t help but think about it given how meta the song Prologue is!

“Roooooooook!” “Rook ___ is young! They love Davrin/Lucanis with all their heart!” “They love Davrin/Lucanis with all their heart! Rook is young and Davrin/Lucanis isn’t here!” <- if I have time I’d honestly rewrite all of the song so we can see who the equivalent of each character is. Because honestly both work too well.

The entire song “Pierre” has Emmrich written all over it like holy shit! Like- “it’s dawned on me suddenly, and for no obvious reason, that I can’t go on living as I am. The zest of life has vanished… and only the skeleton remains! Unexpectedly vile! I used to be better, I used to be better, I used to be better…” LIKE ARE KIDDING? Are you JOKING with me right now? OH that’s what this post is gonna be about now hold the fuck on

“OooooOooooooh Emmrich, our merry learning crank. Our most dear, most kind, most smart and eccentric! A warm-hearted Nevarran of the old school. His purse is always empty, because it’s open to all. OooOooh Emmrich. Just one of a hundred sad old men, living out their final days in The Necropolis…” hswihdkwdjaodu HEY

“I think… too much. Right now, my friend fights and bleeds while I sit at home and read. Hours at a time! Hours at my screen! Anything, anything! Abandoned to distraction in order to forget we waste our lives, drowning in time. I never thought that I’d end up like this! I used to be better!”

“And the women, they all pity me because I’m married but not in love. Frozen at the center…” “Il est chermant, il n��a pas de sexe. He is charming, he has no sex.”

“There’s a ringing in my head, there’s a sickness in the world. And everyone knows but pretends that they don’t see. ‘Oh I’ll sort it out later’, but later never comes. And how many men before, good Nevarran men, believing in goodness at truth entered that door with all their teeth and hair? And left it… toothless and bald. You empty and stupid contented fellows satisfied with your place… I’m different from you! I’m different from you! I still want to do something! … Or do you struggle to? I pity you, I pity me, I pity you.”<- that’s the end of that song but fuck that goes egregiously hard as Emmrich, no?

I don’t have any official rewrites cuz I’m not settled on if Harding or Bellara is Sonya but the song Moscow except it’s fucking ROOK is great!

Skipping way ahead, the first song of Act 2 “Letters”, that song getting stuck in my head was what prompted this whole thing. “In Dragon Age Nevarra, we write letters, we write letters. We put down in writing what’s happening in our minds.” Hilarious

I think it’s reasonable why some Ayato stans can’t stand Yui given that she doesn’t always treat him in the fairest way either. I’m not condoning how he acted in haunted dark bridal, they were pretty much all assholes and Yui really deserved much better than that but what bothers me is the way she started being written strictly in his routes after the first game.

Before developing my point of view, I want to mention that I did read all his routes and I will intelligibly write down why I don’t have the most positive opinion about Yui there. In more blood, she notices something changed about him. The whole route was about her crying for his love despite the fact that she did nothing other than give him blood. She knew he was struggling, but instead of trying to understand and comfort him, she only cared about her own feelings being reciprocated. There can’t be love when there’s no communication and the fence scene only proved that what she felt for him was mere obsession. He said it in an unserious way but she literally was on the verge of falling down and Ayato was shocked as she did that too. The only reason why I think he expressed his feelings after is cuz he was too afraid of how crazy about him she was to the point that she’d rather end it all than not get his love. I gotta admit that she redeemed herself in the vampire ending, I felt love there but route based she wasn’t shining.

He is seen sacrificing himself for her a lot of times, getting attacked by the wolves, jumping in flames for her, saving her from a bomb explosion, studying for her, getting into university for her, wanting to buy a house just for her, defending her from everyone that says anything negative about her wether that’s a random person or any of his brothers, mother or father.

Then we have Yui that does nothing for him in return. I better not hear ‘She is kind and cooks for him!’ because that doesn’t even come close to all the things he did for her well-being. Don’t get me started on how she tries making him face his abuser in Dark Fate and never defends him when he’s being slandered in front of others, even when they are in the wrong and harming her man. I saw some potential in her in lost eden but I took it back after she started taking such stupid decisions that only made Ayato feel even more guilty and sad rather than actually helping him. I can say the same about chaos lineage. She let his brothers make him feel like trash again, despite feeling bad for him in her thoughts, and only went to comfort him when he was starting to get depressed. Personally I would much rather prefer someone taking my side in front of others than putting honey around me in private. I swear this girl always talks but decides being quiet when she has to use her voice the most *face palm*

That is so ironic because she always expects him to save her ass and protect her all the time when she gets into troubles. At this point you should take a shot everytime Yui says ‘I know Ayato will save me. I know Ayato will protect me.’

Their relationship is not equal and will never be. You guys just like throwing the word ‘healthy’ only when the man loves the woman more but when it’s the other way around, then it’s seen as ‘toxic’.

I do think Yui is worthy of love but she’d fit better with someone that wouldn’t go to great lengths for her 24/7. Ayato is way too passionate and honestly he deserves someone more supportive and useful than her.

// Wow, that was long.

I've discussed this question with several of my friends, and while I generally agree with part of what you said, there are a few points I'd want to clarify.

Yui's actions in MB were essential to the plot of the route. When falling in love for the first time, I think a lot of teenage girls would behave similarly to her . She also acknowledged being selfish in the second last chapter, and it showed character growth when she came to terms with it and began to accept Ayato for who he is, flaws and all. I get that it's not particularly enjoyable to witness someone cry for almost the entire route, but she learnt something valuable from it, therefore I no longer see a problem. It was also confirmed in a book that Ayato was in love with her from the start. He was just confused and didn’t know how to properly explain his feelings due to the curse and trauma, therefore it’s not like he started dating her out of pity or anything like that. I developed this better here, feel free to read it if you want.

I would never consider her a bad girlfriend though. Even if she occasionally doesn't take everything as seriously as she’s supposed to, I believe she is doing her best. Yui isn't the type of person to take advantage of someone else's selflessness, and I have no doubt that she is very grateful of everything Ayato does for her.

Ayato is a bit more involved in the relationship but I don’t think he minds that…? I assume Yui's happiness is enough for him because he never complained about that matter. She still gives him blood, shows him affection and makes him laugh, even when it's not her aim to do so. It’s probably not the best comparison, since he’s putting his life in danger for her, but it’s still something.

Regarding the —not defending— part, I have witnessed several fans express the same displeasure, although I can't recall the specific situations they were referring to. Anyway, yeah, I kinda agree with that because everyone is capable of defending their S/O, so I'm not sure why they nerfed Yui on that.

It could also be the fact that Ayato is always shown as being really strong, therefore Yui probably doesn’t think he is THAT affected by those words. We don’t even know if she is very aware of how his brothers and family treated him in the past. For the players or readers, it makes sense why he gets insecure and feels threatened by their words or lashes out at them, but for someone who is unaware of the truth, it's a different story entirely.

On top of that, Ayato is the main hero. The heroine can shine in other routes but the main hero is the one who needs to show in his own one why he was chosen for the main hero position.

I wouldn’t say she’s not useful or supportive enough, she’s just softer in his routes, which I believe makes more sense to her character. Compared to other routes, she has it quite easy in his ones (except for the bad endings where they’re either both problematic or have to suffer), so I can see why Yui is more bubbly and carefree there. Besides, they both seem to be into the traditional relationship roles.

Rating Batim Ships (At least the ones I’ve actually seen people shipping)

(Also as a note, I don’t judge anyone based on if they ship any of these and the following are just my opinions so pls don’t get mad at me 😭 it’s all for goofs)

Henry/Joey

4/10

I don’t ship them at all but them being divorcees is funny as hell so they get points for that. This was definitely one-sided on Joey’s end at some point

Also I should mention the Ink Henry x Memory Joey variant of this. While I think it’s interesting and definitely less toxic than the original, I’m still not about it. Tho the score went up a point because of it

Sammy/Joey

3/10

This one also gets points for being funny as hell despite the fact that I don’t ship it at all. Just Joey pathetically pining after Sammy while Sammy does not care at all (and is annoyed by him). Incredible.

Tho I saw someone shipping them fr once and it was just

Sammy/Jack

8/10

While I see them more as being friends I still think this one is pretty cute. I love their duo

Tom/Allison

10/10

These two are really cute, very healthy, A+. I’m glad they at least have each other in ink hell

Susie/Allison

8/10

It’s pretty cute ngl. I think they could really help each other grow and be happy. Quite solid

Henry/Ink Bendy

-100/10

That is a father and his son absolutely not

Buddy/Dot

2/10

They are just friends. That was a whole thing in the book. Don’t like this one at all. Only got points because Buddy and Dot are a top tier duo

(Don’t mind my annotation)

Henry/Sammy

100/10

I really like the idea of them bonding in cyclebreaker jail and helping each other heal post BATDR. Also I’m biased because they make up 2/3 of my favorite batim characters trio

Sammy/Grant

6/10

I think these two would definitely vibe but I don’t know enough about Grant to feel too strongly about this one. Maybe there’s more of him in one of the books I haven’t read yet or I’m just uncultured on Grant idk

Susie/Sammy

4/10

I don’t really care for this one. I can’t really explain why I just don’t like it that much. Something is off but idk what. Maybe it’s because I like to headcanon Sammy as being gay. That’s really it tho

Wally/Sammy

5/10

Kinda confused by this one ngl but I’ve seen a couple people shipping it. It’s definitely not terrible I just don’t understand it. If you ship them pls feel free to explain why so I can better understand

Sammy/Ink Bendy

3/10

Not a fan of the vibes on this one. It does not seem at all healthy or able to grow into something healthy. I gave it some points tho cuz someone I follow on here likes it and I think they’re cool. Also I know this one is pretty popular so I’m sorry ya’ll 😭

Norman/Sammy

7/10

I like the idea of them being weirdos together. It has some interesting implications or possible angst due to the fact that Sammy killed him. Not my fav but still pretty solid

Joey/Bertrum

4/10

I mean sure? Bertrum didn’t really seem to like Joey at all in the games but in DCTL they were acting buddy buddy. Maybe it was the drinks idk. Either way this one kinda just exists to me but I have seen it before so it’s on here

Henry/Linda

8/10

This one’s only marked down a couple points cuz we’ve never met Linda before or know really anything about her, but I bet these two are a cute couple. This ship also has really sad implications for Ink Henry but at least Irl Henry is happy 😭

(I’m also now realizing that there are a lot of Sammy ships geez)

[jellazticious]

What you said abt cheesecake being hard to pull off is so real honestly

So many people portray it in ways that make almost all the characters unlikable in some way, they'll make vigilante downright obsessive at times or they'll make Noise a complete jerk

Worse of all is when they completely reduce Noisette to like a prop to do nothing but look pretty, act dumb or be sad when Noise is mean to her tho tbh that may just be moreso general fandom misogyny than ship flanderization

Your portrayal doesn't fall into any of that and has a lot of what I like about cheesecake still in tact, even if its not 100% my interpretation I still heavily enjoy how you write them. You do a good job of making the characters stay entertaining while also doing a good job of conveying like the subtle workings of their head if that makes any sense

Anyway thanks for reading this if you did, i like cheesecake, a lot of it sucks but yours is epic

NONO YEAH I GET YOU MATE

Like I said, it's like serving pufferfish. You gotta do it right lest you die but otherwise, it's edible but not everyone's gonna like it

Pizza Tower characters are so FAAAAAAAARRR from serious but they're still delicate to handle when you're trying to connect the very few and subtle dots the game gives you from the background.

I'm glad you like my portrayal of them even if they're not exactly how you see them, unlike some people who had the point fly over their heads cuz they can't grasp the concept of relationship conflicts that can end well. ohhhhh the amount of people in my notes getting a stretched wrong idea from that comic/storyboard. People see a love triangle and all logic flies out the window cuz they always expect it to be the same generic story. But yeah, thank you for the ask, I love reading elabourate stuff in my inbox even if it's applied to one of the stupidest hilarious games.

I look like this talking about Pizza Tower characters in detail fjbgkjsr

[totaldramafan-lauri]

One year ago, it was time for Golden Cheese's long-awaited release into CRK after over two years of being a mystery character. Only having very small references to her from the other ancients, we knew almost NOTHING about her other than the bare minimum. The few things we did know about her came from an old artbook, and based on that info, fans speculated about her personality. From what I'd seen, the most common fan interpretation of Golden Cheese was kinda a second Hollyberry, or making her the "feral one" of the ancients. Basically, they saw her as a tomboy, because short hair equals tomboy apparently -___- (when again, Hollyberry is right there)

Meanwhile, I didn't like that fanon interpretation, and what I had more in mind was an antagonist. I legit thought she was gonna be a lot colder and meaner of a character cuz of the artbook (which has been retconned). So, that's what I expected to see...

A bit after the update went live, I tuned in to Hyrool's livestream (cuz, fun fact about me: I almost never turn my game on as soon as an update goes live, cuz I like waiting for any possible bugs to get fixed), JUST in time to see him play the tail end of episode 17.....as in, in the middle of her boss fight. As soon as it was over, my first impression of her was of her in her radiant goddess outfit, looking absolutely gorgeous, and with that confident smirk on her face.....and her voice....I already knew I liked her voice from the prologue, but....but...then, rather than try to banish the main characters, or get angry, she.....said....

"Shall we take a closer look~?"

THAT LINE RIGHT THERE is where it started. That image, that I was lucky enough to walk into....I-I remember thinking right there, "OH...."

After that, I started playing myself, and....I-I learned more and more about her over the course of a couple hours, rewatching episode 17 and seeing the way she acts....Her relationship with her subjects especially....Her being referred to as a goddess....Her dialogue, her demeanor, her cool powers, her voice....She was absolutely majestic to me....and I could TELL she believed she was a god, which....I-I love that trope so flipping much.....

I-I realized what kind of character she was, and...I-I was doomed. I have a type, and she just played riiiiight into it. VERY quickly, I was doomed......Later on, I read her bio on the wiki, and came across that line about her considering her subjects treasures worth collecting and how she's always looking for new ones to "call her own"...

And, well......sh-she still hasn't released me. -////////-

One year later, after finally completing my BEHEMOTH of a fanfic about her, I'm still down pretty bad.....D-despite the sad elements of her story, that doesn't distract from how fun it is to simp for her, cuz she's more than that.

So.....h-happy anniversary to her and to all her fans. I-it feels great to know I'm not alone!! Cuz, at the start, it really felt like I was.....Wh-while she was a hit, I didn't see any other people who liked her in the same way as me for a while.....U-until I started my fic.....>////////<

I've even called her "my F/O" a few times, even if it'd be different with her....I-I wouldn't be the only one.....Sh-she'd be happy to know we're all deep in the trenches for her....heheh.....I-I wouldn't have much to offer her, tho, but I wanna believe she'd still be flattered and even encourage me....X/////D

Happy anniversary, my queen <3
