I'm a big fan of unhinged worldbuilding in pornographic fiction, but I have to admit I get pretty annoyed when an author goes to all that trouble to explain something that falls completely within the normal range of plausible human behavioural and phenotypic variation. Like, if you're going to hit me with ten thousand words of elaborately justified speculative biology and the payoff in its entirety is "in this world, some women have penises", well, buddy, have I got news for you.

fic writer: "i know no one cares about this fic but..." the fic in question: *has almost 450 kudos, almost 150 bookmarks, and over 600 comments*

some of y'all don't know what a small response to a fic actually is i stg your brains have been fried by algorithmic virality stop doing this to yourselves

I need to watch more game grumps

[striped-soda]

good game (2017) you’ve captivated me with your 6 episode charm and your youtube red ways

[would-they-be-good-at-asmr]

OP’s propaganda (I wanted to add something here):

Friendly reminder that Danny’s solo let’s plays were often compared to ASMR due to how relaxing his voice was and how calm the gameplay would be

Yknow a lot of aus (school aus specifically) portray Morro as some kind of rebel kid who doesn’t give a shit

…forgetting that Morro couldn’t possibly give more shits than he gives, he gives that that much of a shit. Guys Morro was a try hard he tried so hard he fucking died.

All I’m saying is that your high school Morro would only be in detention because he punched a teacher that scored him 97% on a test.

He’s that kid wants to be class President and is wildly jealous that someone else got picked instead of him. He’d have no friends because he’s too busy corrected them and acting like he’s better than them.

Morro is a try hard, a cool kid wannabe, and mayhaps a smug little shit as a treat.

yo man do you remember the Sonic Boom Game Grumps play through?? that takes me back man...

Okay, so the worst thing about people comparing tabletop RPGs to video games as a criticism is the unexamined assumption that "resembling a video game" is categorically a bad thing, but the second worst thing is that the comparisons are always in inaccurate in a boring way. "Oh, Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition is just tabletop World of Warcraft", no, Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition is like if somebody cross-bred Final Fantasy Tactics with Team Fortress 2.

I genuinely don't grasp how people can look at Worm and say Taylor didn't save the world, with a straight face.

I mean, I ignore WB's WoGs at my leisure, but most of the people who say 'Taylor didn't save the world' tend to cling to his WoGs like they're pure gold and he did say Worm was the best of all possible worlds for the parahumans verse. Which means if Taylor doesn't do what she did, more people die.

I need to be put down

Dan's Yuri voice from the game grumps DDLC playthrough is literally the only voice she can have for me. it just gives trans girl too lazy to voice train and that fits her so well.

So from what I can gleam Amy isn’t going to be in sonic 3 movie, it’s fine. I actually don’t care, I understand her importance in the sonic adventure series and how she got shadow to turn good with the power of friendship or whatever. But let’s be honest every character can do that. Never actually played the games or watched the movies, I know I’m a mere hieratic in world full of priests. I watched the shows and watched the grumps play sonic. Anyways my unrelated relationship with sonic as a franchise doesn’t matter. Because I hope if or when Amy shows up it’s not poorly written. Because listen we can all debate as to whether or not sonic and Amy is end game. Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter because, Sonic’s whole “I don’t like amy” was made because the writers thought it would be out of character for him to actually be in a relationship. Which lets be honest unless we’re having a huge time skip where sonic is older than it makes no sense for him to be in literal relationship. Anyways I’d prefer if Amy wasn’t easily interpreted as a stalker. I think she shines when her crush is more subtle. Now for those who still hate Amy rose and or are saying “what about sally acorn?” I don’t care, sally hasn’t been used in a while and let’s be honest with ourselves old sonic and new sonic are fairly different characters. With one sonic a dynamic works, but the other it just doesn’t, so shut up.

Anyways there’s my sonic ramblings for the year, if I ever get to watching the movies I’ll give my opinion about them but rn it doesn’t matter.

SU fans: "Steven Universe was so culturally important and life-changing in how it taught kids about love and acceptance and LGBT representation!"

Also SU fans: "People who criticize SU are stupid, don't they know it's just a dumb baby show for babies that doesn't mean anything?"
