Lmao the way they harness the power of the group and direct it towards JK is funny. His debut single being "seven" and now BTS festa being used to release his single for "Jungkooks fans" with his personalised logo. Try to be less transparent about trying to turn armys into JK's personal fanbase wholesale.

It may well happen organically enough since armys no longer have the capacity to push songs themselves so they naturally rally around JK with all his available tools. Them forcing it like this is kind of repellent to someone who's more neutral like myself.

Not going to even talk about CTT because Jimin being treated like the hated stepchild of Hybe is pretty well established now so what's there to keep rehashing every release?

“Yeah I think this really solidified that they're truly trying to separate him from the group. I was still giving them the benefit of the doubt but after seeing "jungkook's fans" and them using his own logo instead of the bts one it truly shows what direction we're headed. I'm not gonna be surprised if he's the first one to get his own weverse channel” -anon

They did it masterfully, cause I just couldn’t imagine the 2018 fandom I came into letting this slide. Or maybe it’s the fact that 80% of those armys are no longer here idk.

The weverse thing I didn’t even think about. I think that would be the final nail in the coffin cause him having his own socials on IG and tiktok isn’t abnormal to me. But having a separate weverse would be cause those are specifically fandom geared.

Levi is the type of loser boyfriend to make a little custom plushie of his partner (including everyday and special event outfits) because he misses them whenever they’re not around.

And he drags it literally everywhere with him!!!- To class, to cafes, whenever he has to go out in public. Even just around the house, he’ll have it tucked in his jacket pocket and squeeze it whenever he’s extra anxious.

Jazz wasn't crazy. People might argue that burning her childhood home to the ground with her parents still inside would be an indicator of insanity. But how else was she supposed to react after coming back home from college to find out her parents had brutally killed her brother via vivisection?

Dying her hair blonde wasn't crazy either before anyone asked. Plenty of girls dyed their hair when they needed a change. Besides, she could never live with herself if she kept the same hair color as that vile woman.

Admittedly Jazz would have to secede moving to Gotham had been a little crazy but it was the perfect place to start fresh and blend in despite her "quirks". She had even picked out a nice new identity for herself.

Clearly Jazz was not crazy as she had managed to land a job at Arkham Asylum as a psychiatrist. If she were really insane would they have ever hired her? No they wouldn't have.

Jazz was not crazy. She was very much sane. Just like her precious Mr. J.

i dream of being your size, you’re absolutely stunning 💜

now, if you could only eat 3 different foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?

You are so sweet to say that, thank you ☺️. If you ever want to chat and get tips, DM me! And this is a great question! I love basically ALL food, I love to explore. But if I had to pick some classic favs:

1. Popcorn. I just love the buttery saltiness of it and how you can just slowly start eating one or two pieces but before you know it you've eaten it all even though it doesn't feel like you ate that much.

2. Fries. All fries really but McDonald's fries are my kryptonite. LITERAL crack in them, I swear.

3. Anything chocolate, but probably orange chocolate bars are the best. I can never stop after just one bite, it just melts in your mouth instantly like smooth silk. (As pictured below when I ate an entire bar in 10 mins last week lol)

thoughts on LIS: Double Exposure?

This is probably gonna be my hottest take in awhile, but: I deeply dislike the idea of an official LiS1 direct sequel game existing. Excluding all my thoughts on the gameplay, story, Max's character, etc. I don't think a game like Double Exposure is necessary.

This isn't a new take either; back in 2020 I made a Reddit post saying I was glad we never got a continuation of Max and Chloe's story, because in order to have a plot, you have to have conflict. And to have conflict means your characters are forced to change or struggle in some way, and I simply wasn't interested in seeing that again. I never even read the comics. As long as Max and Chloe's future existed only in the fanbase's collective imagination and not in an officially licensed game, Pricefield could be as happy as I wanted and I wouldn't have to witness DN or D9's version of canon.

A lot of fans, including myself, are also confused and upset as to where Chloe could be in Double Exposure. Even if Chloe winds up having a surprise role, it would likely be too logistically difficult to write Chloe into one version of the story and not the other. Either way, DE is strongly pointing to Chloe no longer being the deuteragonist. If D9 was going to make a direct sequel with Max and Chloe, I could at least be intrigued by how they might write their dynamic and how they'd use Max's power in new and interesting ways. But instead there's... none of that. Chloe's nowhere to be seen and Max can't time travel anymore.

On a narrative level, Max and Chloe are the heart of the original Life is Strange. They represent the game's central relationship, and their very first interaction (Max saving Chloe's life) kicks off the entire story. Throughout the story, their dynamic advances the plot and mutually motivates their character arcs. You can't have LiS1 without either Max or Chloe; the story simply wouldn't exist without them. Now in DE, they don't even seem to be in each other's lives anymore. It's true, this series is meant to reflect universal feelings and experiences, which could include breakups, but the romantic catharsis of Pricefield as canon soulmates who defied time and space itself to stay together forever is something you can only get from the beauty of fiction. To jab DE's story with a dose of reality and go, "Eh, they grew apart. Shit happens," totally undermines everything the Bae ending stood for.

On a technical level, Max's rewind was an objectively brilliant game mechanic. LiS1 arrived onto the scene after Telltale had paved the way for the resurgence of choice-based, episodic games, but LiS1 totally reinvented the wheel by giving the player the option to go back and weigh each option before continuing, essentially save-scumming in-game. But the right choice was never that easy to determine, and Rewind brilliantly complemented Max's character arc of overcoming her indecision and learning to live with her choices. Not to mention, you could also use Rewind to solve puzzles, instead of the endless fetch quests the later games had. No other LiS game since then has given the player that kind of agency and interactivity. LiS2 had telekinesis, but the player couldn't use it, only Daniel. D9 tried with Backtalk and Empathy, but Max's Rewind was truly the narrative and gameplay jackpot that they haven't been able to recreate since.

So if you take away one half of the central relationship that made the first game so memorable, and the supernatural power/game mechanic that made it so fun to play... why even bring Max back at all? It just feels like D9 threw away their golden opportunity to build upon the major selling points of the first game and are only relying on name recognition of the Life is Strange "brand" and Max Caulfield.

What upsets me most of all about a direct sequel existing is that it proves that Life is Strange, as a series, now stands more for profits than originality. Life is Strange will always be an IP meant to make money for Square, I know that, but back when LiS1 was just a brand new episodic game, it stood out for how different it dared to be. In a landscape saturated with shooters, sexualized female characters, and casual misogyny, LiS1 instead featured a teenage girl in a contemporary setting that took her seriously and made her the hero of her story. Before it was a franchise, LiS wasn't concerned with the bottom dollar; it was a piece of art that just wanted to tell a thoughtful, unique story.

Whether you love it or hate it, Life is Strange 2 was an insanely risky follow-up to Life is Strange that refused to rely on the convenience of a direct sequel because Dontnod stuck to their artistic vision. Meanwhile, all of Deck Nine's games have leaned on the first game's following to generate interest (BtS being a direct prequel, TC bringing back Steph, and Wavelengths expanding on Steph's connection to Chloe, Rachel, and Arcadia Bay). In other words, all of the subsequent LiS games by D9 have played it very, very safe. It's worked like a damn charm because there are still elements I love about each game, but the basic principle is nostalgia-baiting fans. It's just that now, Double Exposure isn't hiding that nostalgia bait at all anymore and prioritizing profits over telling a unique story. It's sad to see that LiS has strayed so far from its risky, daring, original, and unique artistic beginnings.

Before I end, I'll say that I can't be too cynical about it all, nor do I want to be. Because I can't deny how much joy this whole series has brought me, too. LiS was what got me into narrative adventure games and pushed the boundaries of what a video game could be. If nothing else, I am truly thrilled that Hannah Telle got the chance to play Max again. D9's always been great at maintaining relationships with their actors, and the casts of their games always have consistently great chemistry. Getting recognized by Erika Mori on my own blog is still unbelievable and speaks to the amazing community that LiS has built. As you can see, I'm still posting and reblogging stuff about Double Exposure. And while I don't see myself buying or playing this game for myself, I know it'll keep all of us talking for awhile, and I still live for a good discussion.

Thank you for asking! And thank you for reading.

Some Liv expressions-

I like to imagine that it actually takes quite a lot to get him to yell/explode in anger- very much a disappointed dad vibe or extremely grumpy when he's pissed

well there you go

well hello sbprojects

Oh that’s real interesting. Yea this just confirmed some things for me.

Joon definitely sat Bang down and demanded a piece of pie (which good on him I can’t fault him for that)

And being connected to scooter by these means is pretty much inevitable if Jimin was to get radioplay unfortunately.

But a song like CBTM getting radioplay over Like Crazy is a travesty

I'm really glad to have found the Hermitcraft fandom here on Tumblr, I've been a long time fan and it's awesome to discover all this great fanart and content and stuff. Any must-follow MCYT/Hermitcraft/Minecraft blogs?

oh gosh, welcome! in general i am BAD about remembering who i follow and who i don't; a great way to find who you want to follow might be to just go through the #hermitcraft tag and follow people you find funny, or, heck, if i reblog a lot of art from a certain artist you like (or not a lot, like one art even), go follow them!

while we're here, a few additional general etiquette rules (keeping in mind that like, this is tumblr, trying to claim ANYTHING is a whole-community norm is basically impossible i am claiming a norm from my specific circle of guys): do not crosstag, only tag things that are actually in your post. don't use the 'minecraft' tag, that tag is for people who like the actual game. (i mean, you can use it if you are posting about minecraft, but not if you're posting about the youtubers). it's generally considered rude to put your crit in the main tags, especially without tagging 'discourse' somewhere so it can be filtered. shipping should generally have a 'hermitshipping' tag on it for filtering purposes as well, but if something is tagged hermitshipping and you're mad about it just like, block them, they did the important part.

the hermits i know of on tumblr (could be more, idk): @/joehills @/pearlescentmoo @/falsesymmetry @/therealdocm77 (not actually active but has the account) @/geminitayyt. cleo also had an account but it is no longer active. also @/inthelittlewood is here and like very active, as is @/askzloyxp and @/quinnhills. as a general etiquette rule, just... act like they're perfectly ordinary tumblr users and continue your business as usual! and don't send them weird asks or anything.

off the top of my head, a few blogs i like, an EXTREMELY non-exhaustive list, find your own guys out there as well you won't regret it! like, you will find the experience you like best just going out there and looking for it yourself! i've absolutely missed a bunch of guys i love, let alone guys you would love! this is like 10 million percent non-exhaustive, i follow 1,570 blogs apparently, many of which aren't hermitcraft or mcyt related, but many of which are, so i just sorta. went for it. and when i was having trouble remembering if a name was a repeat that's when i stopped. so. non-exhaustive list:

@nightshadeowl, @jestroer, @astronomodome, @kingtheghast, @floweroflaurelin, @roenais, @silverskye13, @wasyago, @rusty-courage, @art-by-fate, @silverskye13, @redstonedust, @betweenlands, @sixteenth-days, @judas-iscaryot, @terracottakore, @cherrifire, @antimony-medusa, @hybbart, @made-nondescript, @luigra, @cuteiemonster, @mawofthemagnetar, @potionofinstantdamage, @concorp, @spiderziege, @salemoleander, @bc-jpeg, @magicalmanhattanproject, @simplydm, @12u3ie, @mishapen-dear, @lunarblazes, @girltimeswithscar, @kishdoodles, @quaranmine, @shadeswift99, @bdoubleowo, @quicksandblock, @beacon-lamp, @kikunai, @sideblague, @applestruda, @ingapotejtoo, @belmarzi, @strifetxt

anyway FEEL FREE TO PROMO GUYS OR YOURSELF ON THIS POST TOO! from what i understand we may be getting some new guys sometime soon here from the twitter lands? so it may be helpful to have that for anyone who's looking for new guys to follow!

and most of all: WELCOME!!!

Could you share a simple, boring fact about vasco and machete? Like what their favorite weather is or small and inconvenient things that happen sometimes and mildly irritate them?

Vasco loves that moment when a sudden heavy rainfall is followed by an equally abrupt bright and sunny weather. He gets antsy whenever the humid, windless and oppressive weather before a storm goes on for too long, but ensuing rain and thunder make him feel exhilirated. Machete likes cool, still and dewy mornings and quiet, warm evenings. Bright sun gives him migraines. He also gets hot and cold easily.

Vasco usually keeps adjusting his ears reflexively so they stay out of the way, but sometimes he ends up sleeping on one of them by accident and wakes up with a numb ear. If Machete happens to roll on top of one and Vasco tries to change position, he might get his ear yanked hard enough to startle him.

Neither of them shed very much but some level of seasonal coat change can be observed nonetheless. Machete brushes his mane diligently to avoid leaving white dog hair in his wake. He also finds it upsetting when other people's loose hair sticks on him and his things.

your comic with donnie and raph in the giant bean bag has unironically possessed me and i've been dying to get one for Weeks now. you made that bag look so comfy. this might sound insane but do you guys still have it and is it full of beans or is it a memory foam one. i may or may not have a bunch of shopping tabs open. send help.

lmao yeah we still have it! I don’t know the brand name unfortunately, but its the same purple and its full of beans if that helps.

Buyer beware though, I was not exaggerating the size of it when I drew Raph. Its diameter is that of a queen size mattress. Make sure you’ve got the space!
