been seeing so many wwwy videos everywhere...

[anewbrainjughead]

listening to folie à deux and once again baffled at why panic! was the third member of the emo trinity back in the day. bc when you actually compare their discography to mcr & fob it's just fucking embarrassing for them. the ironclad grip brendon urie had on ryan ross's coattails and the places it got him........

[viiridiangreen]

rationally i know being hyped over my first time spending my own money on a God Damn Microtransaction is a little cringe passé...

emotionally, however,

"RED'S LITTLE POGCHAMP" HELMET ACQUIRED 😭😭😭

[blatantlyhidden]

ok cool so it's lonely emo hours again

[chronic-escapist]

i just can't do twitter and all this keeping up with everything shit anymore lol. i need to like go outside, read a book, go like actually have a face to face conversation with people. i can't like constantly keep up with whatever's going on, but like fomo is a bitch and i am fomo's bitch.

but also i don't really have any friends. i don't have to think about that if im constantly looking at whatever's going on in the world, whatever's going on in fandoms. but it's also fucking exhausting, but i feel like if i switch off from that stuff then i really am alone. like the only people i regularly interact with outside of my family is people online, as fucking sad as that is lol.

idk i just got used to someone else being around. ive always been fucking lonely, and then i wasn't for a bit and now i am again and it's you know, idk ive never done very well when im left to my own devices. ive never been very good at making friends, i always felt kinda different. but i think maybe most people do. and that's kinda where my love of fandoms and online communities comes from, there i finally had people to talk to about things or people and music that i love.

i mean you can look into the loneliness epidemic, as a society we’re more connected than we ever have been and yet we’re the loneliest, that’s fucking sad. and everything these days is pretty fucking sad, idk how to have an optimistic view on that. but if you have any answers to any of this shit lmk. sometimes i kinda wish i was religious, but also if there is a god maybe that’s even sadder.

[suppresseddramatic]

all of my favorite people are high rn, and i’m not, and i can’t see them, and i miss them and i’m sad. average monday night.

[tw0starz]

this is my 2nd fucking time typing this all out. i hate tumblr's mobile layout so much you have no idea.

OKAY SO, taking this from the top, I have a "hot take." ( @cxrpse-can , if u wanna weigh in on this topic :3 <3 )

hey babes that had a "2020 alt phase" and now make fun of alt people online,

you were never alt. you were a fucking poser.

I see. FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE ONLINE. who were ""ALT"" back in 2020, laugh at alt people and make fun of them.

Alt people spawned from music genres. Alt POSERS spawned from "tiktok trend" garbage and seriously bad FOMO.

If your "alt phase" was that short even, you never gave a fuck about the actual music. I've also seen people bring up industry plants in the music industry, where these people don't know a thing about alt music and the subculture as a whole. But they're professionally made to look like they're alternative artists.

Alt people themselves have an actual string of morals they all agree with. it is an INGRAINED PART of the community. you want my credentials to this? hi, i was raised by my parents, whom one was in a black metal band, and the other introduced me into most of what I listen to today. as a kid, i remember my mom taking me into a hot topic so she could buy herself stuff in the early 2010s. We're a household of satanists. I am well fucking qualified to give my 2 cents on this.

Alt people stick it to the man. Alt people are really about fighting for what they believe in, and spitting in the face of oppression and authority. The WORD "ALTERNATIVE" IS THAT IT IS ""ALTERNATIVE"" to what SOCIETY DEEMS "NORMAL," it's why over the years, it has become an ALL ENCOMPASSING UMBRELLA TERM. me personally, i dont enjoy being titled "alt," but I've always felt that way. ive felt that way since 2018-2019, when the term became widely used online. my cousin tried telling me, "you're not emo, you're alt. that's what it's called now." - I then looked at her and said "that's stupid, im emo." - But that's honestly just my personal preference.

to my alternative babes,

i love you.

ALL races, sexualities, genders, religions, disabilities, ethnicities, sizes, economic backgrounds... everyone. all of you. you are ALL welcome on my page. I will fight for, and with you, until the day i die. and then the bones of me will keep fighting; for, and with you. you are all wonderful people. truly. dont let posers cramp your style. be yourself, dont let any motherfucker stop you. <3

[petrofagonicapocalypse]

Ok sorry I’m boyvulating and fuckijg emo rn forgive me but I saw some post of like gizz show stats and the person had seen 18 shows or something and captioned it “noob stats” as if seeing 18 shows isn’t a huge amount and it’s like we as a community need to work harder to not create this kind of fomo environment I think haha.. cus it’s like logically I know I’m not a lesser fan cus I can’t financially afford seeing them a million times but then seeing things like that being said is like ok I guess I am lesser xD

Tiktok has been accused of creating short attention span in people, especially children, and Instagram is starting to look no better after 'reels' came out. My best advice would be to delete these apps completely. And if you still wanna keep your account just in case, then you just delete the app and not your account.

That's true, I've seen the statistics as well!

I did try to delete tiktok for a while, and I luckily only use intagram to talk to friends and keep up with what they're doing in their day to day -

It might be a bit of a controversial opinion- particularly going against science and all - But in my experience, deleting Tiktok entirely, just made it harder for me to keep up with certain friends. They'd send me tiktoks that I couldn't see, they'd reference videos I hadn't seen;

and fomo isn't all it is, as much as it's feeling a bit like I'm falling behind a socialisation process.

Because I can delete tiktok to clear my head, but I can't make every one of my friends do the same thing, you know? And there are content on tiktok that inspires me or gives me ideas for art or writing, as well!

Corecore videos for example.

Or art references, Spooky Lake Month, where a creator covers 31 days of spooky/haunted hydrology every october etc. Or how to crochet better, stuff like that.

So I find that in order to not be entirely out of the loop with my siblings and some of my friends, as well as simply enjoying specific things on there, I would rather put boundaries/time-limitations on the content I consume on there, rather than removing it entirely!

To throw back to a previous ask I replied to - I find that removing the source of my 'addiction' entirely, simply makes me want it more and makes it more likely for me to 'relapse'. I end up overconsuming it, because I've deprived myself of it rather than easing myself into a routine without it!

But I do understand where you're coming from, thank you anon. And I do wish it was as easy as that to get rid of it.

I miss when I didn't really have anything outside of like, youtube, tumblr and deviantart on my computer. And listened to skrillex and nickelback on my usb-pen mp3 player back in my emo-phase in 2013 😔 Genuinely, that's not a joke

[funkyyusername]

okay i've decided to make a more organized review on the flipside with my own personal reviews on each ending cuz ik tumblr loves the opinions of some random girl. spoilers for flipside ofc, if u care idc

the fucking slave ending: this was the one ending that i like passionately hate. because like, what?? first the story felt NOTHING like a class of 09 game, it felt like this weird episodic story with a twist end that was only there for the shock and emo factor. like i actually prefer if they had killed jecka instead of SELLING HER TO GODDAMN SLAVERY. literally this entire route is just, girls want paycheck, girls go to porn store, old school counselor gives them fuck up riddle completely occ for class of 09, girls find porn warehouse, counselor kills one girl, fbi sells the other. literally what?? that is some weird fucked up excuse of a story that was lowkey boring until the porn warehouse shit. felt like a goddamn scoobydoo episode with a poorly written edgy twist. also kelly was just boring as shit sorry kelly fans i snored. 0/10

drunk driving ending: this also felt not like a class of 09 ending but it was like slightly better bc black hair jecka was cool. i didn't know what to expect with this ending but i didn't think goddamn ARI would die. i kept forgetting about ari during this run. like yeah they make fun of her once and then bring her up again when jecka tries to get a job but like, that's it. maybe i'm remembering wrong but when another character is involved with an ending they usually include that character more. in the reup the suicide pact ending was like emily heaven. both ari endings had ari show up a bunch and have her gay awaken be like important to the story and constantly brought up. this one just, eh. it's not bad but like, eh. seeing ari's dead body was more of a jumpscare. like "ah! i forgot about her. wait why is she here again? oh right dominos." just felt off. 3/10

feet ending: okay first why feet? and why so many goddamn cut scenes with jecka stepping on people. like i get it move on. anyway so nicole's betrayal was..something. it's weird cuz it does feel like something nicole would do...to like someone she hates. the megan ending in the reup happened bc nicole was tired of megan being like a bitchy stuck up bossy bitch. but also like nicole never even liked megan. and like i get that nicole got pissed cuz jecka wouldn't let her join her feet empire but like, that's so minor. i feel like what would make more sense is nicole being like "fuck u i don't need u" and building her own feet empire, one up-ing jecka and making her lose her place, kinda like the OD ending. but nicole only doing it do jecka's dad? i mean i dunno. i get nicoles evil and whatever but also nicole likes jecka. or at least liked her enough to get the counselor off her back in the reup, liked her enough to buy tickets for the two of them to go to a concert, liked her enough to like, not tell her to fuck off and die. nicoles evil but she still LIKED jecka. for something like that i feel like nicole and jecka would have needed a much more dramatic falling out, not just, being mad for getting feet fomo. 4/10

OD ending: okay so admittedly what nicole did to jefferfy felt in character for both nicole and the game. how nicole treated jecka when she threaten her if she called the police felt in character to nicole. it was overall not that bad of an ending, but i found myself being more interested in nicoles pov than jeckas, which is upsetting bc this is literally jecka's game. nicole was the highlight of jeckas own game. ironic. 6/10

nicole suicide ending: the one ending i actually liked. this felt like an actually class of 09 ending, it gave insight to wtf jecka was going through before during and after nicoles nice girl turned suicide ending. jecka suffering just as much as nicole, almost mirroring nicole was really interesting. the scene where jecka is begging to hang out with nicole. where she tells nicole she "doesn't have to do anything," in which nicole responds back with "you don't have to date your teacher." jecka finding nicole fucking dead body. and even after nicoles death jeckas still suffering, bc she really was the only one who cared for nicole. it actually felt real and actually made sense. all the suffering jecka goes through here made sense for the plot and didn't just feel like it was making jecka suffer for the sake of suffering. it was just a very interesting take on nicoles suicide ending. not really funny, but still was an appealing story. 8/10

[loveeyeslester]

dnp doing this because they failed to get tickets to wwwyf and they're taking their emo fomo out on us

[cassiopeiasara]

You know my favorite thing about the Wilsons? Karen is everyone’s favorite within their little family.

Like Denny adores and loves both of his mothers and he’s proud of them but it’s Karen he wants to shadow for a day for his school project. She makes silly jokes which he rolls his eyes at but still with faced with who he wants to really learn about, he chooses her.

Then Hen with her “you’re the only one I know with a job cooler than mine.” She just laughs at her brilliant scientist with a fondness that is so delightful and there are stars in her eyes every time she talks about her. She’s so dedicated to helping Karen find whatever she thought she missed out on in her youth during FOMO and you can tell Karen is just her favorite person to be with.

Toni loves Karen too. Though her whole not being at their wedding was an odd rewrite (there’s a scene in s4 when she shows up that definitely implied she actually had attended their wedding but w/e this show and timelines is ridiculous), it’s Karen she feels she can talk to when she’s worried about Hen starting a new career and it’s the hurt she caused Hen AND Karen that convinces her to surprise them with a vow renewal.

Then there’s darling Mara, our girl who has been through SO MUCH. It’s Karen she first speaks to. It’s Karen that finally makes her feel safe enough to open a tiny door of trust that she might actually get to be with a family the way she deserves.

Little Nia loved everyone but I’m sure there was something special about Karen for her too.

I just… as someone who is very much in the Karen Wilson fan club, I’m emo about how much her family loves her bc she deserves it.

I need Nico to get his ears pierced.

I need Aus to get his nipples pierced.

I need Will N. to get FOMO & pierce his nipples because Aus did.

I need Seggs to get his nipples & dick pierced because he's a bisexual slut ICON.

I want Crosby to get his lip pierced with a ring, but I know that'll never happen.

Thanks for listening 😘

worst thing about Nico is that he had pierced ears as a kid and then they probably grew shut and that coward won’t sit down and force a stud through it like a normal person

Auston and Willy need matching bestie piercings like they can each just get one nip done and share a pair of piercings if they don’t want to fully commit

Tyler is one midlife crisis away from a Jacob’s ladder anyways

and Sid just needs to let out his inner emo kid

Monster High Reimagined

Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde character bio/Redesign.

Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde (he-him/he-they)

(Unlabelled)

The hybrid human/Oni child of the Jekyll-Hydes,a mixed Human/Oni family.

(Mixed English-Barbadian and Japanese)

The twin latest descendants of Dr jekyll,due to his half-oni parentage,Jacksons rendition of the family "curse" manifests differently to the other ancestors on his human mothers side,with the "Hyde" side of him manifesting as his brother,Holt,who the introverted and booksmart jackson feels he stands in the shadow of,nevertheless maybe being inducted into the friend group of their (self appointed) lab partner frankie stein will give this mad scientist/Oni duo the chance to know other people,and possibly each other a little better…

Likes: (mad) science,stop motion animation and (often increasingly) spicy food/ DJing at gigs,mythology and folktales and music theory/ 80s movies and cricket/baseball.

Dislikes: Deafeningly loud environments,feeling out of place and experiments going wrong/ awkward silence,hot sauce and alcohol/ people underestimating them, and (human) dentists.

Killer style: As with most things ,jackson and holts dress styles are utterly unlike each other's in terms of colour (Holt preferring blue,orange and black and jackson white,yellow and green) style and the like,which is a somewhat unfortunate situation since both feel awkward in the other's respective look (jackson preferring a more preppy,emo-inspired getup and holt casual, colourful clothing). With the help of frankie's friend Clawdeen however,the brothers have devised several items of clothing that both can wear without needing to tediously change their entire outfit every time either one is in control.

Familiar: Crossfade,a chameleon and living proof of one of the rare instances where both brothers agreed on something,that being that he makes for an awesome pet,despite some of their peers saying he's a bit boring compared to their more exotic or fantastical critters.

Pet Peeve: A lot of the time,each other! Turns out not only can having one brother complaining and snarking in the proverbial "backseat" in your head whilst your in control of everything else be super irritating,but it can be super inconvenient when outside factors cause one to wrest over control to the other,especially when one sibling is deep in focus on a particular passion of theirs only to get forcibly ejected.

Freaky Flaw: Because of the external pressures the boys each face,both Jackson and Holt have a tendency to "tune out" as it were and throw themselves into their hobbies to the point of sometimes injuring themselves,which has happened more times than both would like to admit despite the durability afforded to them as half-oni.

Spooky Secret: both brothers slightly envy the other, with Jackson wishing he had a bit of Holts sociability so the feeling of FOMO in the back of his head would stop being so nagging and Holt in turn wishing he was a little more booksmart like Jackson,if only so the adults in his life would stop telling him about him "wasting his potential".

Dream job: Jackson would prefer a quiet,uneventful career as a scientific researcher or archivist,while Holt wants to live the loud globetrotting life of an in-demand DJ,this disconnect unfortunately further adding to the tension between the two of them.

Five Fearsome Facts:

Both brothers are massive movie buffs, with many 80s science fiction,fantasy and horror films being among their favourites. Jackson in particular being engrossed in the films practical effects and the many behind the scenes stories about how they were devised,whilst Holt Is often more appreciative of the sound design and iconic soundtracks that in his opinion adds a unique atmosphere and tone to each movie.

In addition to this, Jackson,an avowed lover of stop motion animation, spends a lot of the time not doing mad science making his own short stop motion movies and uploading them to his Bootube channel. Naturally the methodically paced process bores Holt out of his mind,a feeling Jackson himself experiences in return during the long hours Holt spends editing and mixing music for his gigs.

Both boys are ADHD/Autistic,but unlike many of their friends,they were undiagnosed up until starting high school. Because of this, both boys went through school isolated and instead threw themselves into their interests, especially whenever they got frustrated with themselves or each other.

Among the many things shared by jackson and holt are a set of taste buds. This wouldn't be a problem if not for Jacksons love of coating his food with increasingly spicier hot sauces,much to the woe of the ironically heat-intolerant holt,who is left to grovel in the backseat as it were throughout jacksons "experiments" with said condiments.

While he considers himself a scientist through and through,since starting at monster high jackson has also gained an interest in the arcane arts (despite,or perhaps because of the dangerous aspects of their study and use), comparatively Holt is less than pressed about the use of magic,preferring to use his skill as a dj show as opposed to using what he sees as simply flashy space-fillers to get a crowd dancing.

OK so compared to the last few profiles I've done this one is more a general overhaul to Jackson/Holts concept if anything

Firstly,their nonhuman parent is an Oni instead of a "fire elemental," namely because I'm surprised their wasn't an Oni character already (tbh I could go on a whole tangent about the lack of yokai characters in mh but that discussion/rant is for another day)

As for how their monster powers work,their persona swapping thing comes from their human mother and grandmother and their more fantastical features (short horns and tusks ect ect) from their oni mother. (Their design is also somewhat influenced by West Indian myths of the Soucouyant/Hag,which I've referenced by making them a quarter Barbadian)

Also in terms of how their gimmick "works", jackson and holt don't "black out" when the other is in control like in G1,but while one is in control the other can't really do anything but provide snarky/worried commentary. (If anything It's kinda comparative to how Venom and Eddie work in those movies if you've seen them)

Anyways,see you for the next one.
