#humans are the real monsters and shit

[woebegonewings]

Also like, trying to not make TLoU AU Kseniya just…wildly overpowered is fucking hard. Because yeah sure, chronic pain and looks visibly infected (meaning anyone with half a brain cell and a gun will shoot on sight) and blind; that all sucks…

…but she can fucking talk to cordyceps. She can talk to the Infected. Her and Pierce run across three Clickers? No problem, just let Kseniya casually walk up to them and make them go away. Because unlike Ellie the Infected read her as one of them, so not only will they not attack her but they’ll treat her like any other Infected. Cordyceps isn’t inherently evil or violent—it’s a fungus, it can’t have morality. It’s doing what every fungus wants to do: survive, propagate, and make more of itself. It just mutated into something that can use humans to do that, not because it hates humanity but just because that’s how it went.

So if Kseniya’s like “yeah no, not a viable host, sorry!” the Clickers will wander off and leave Pierce be.

That is UNBELIEVABLY overpowered in a TLoU context. 50% of the threat to their survival is just…gone! Poof!

Wishing everyone who depicts Ingo and/or Emmet as "scary" and hurting/killing people for fun and "unhinged" a very pleasant

This Is Ableism And Real People Are Negatively Affected

I'm tired of my friends asking if people who looked at Emmet's character traits and decided they make him scary and somehow not human also see them that way. I'm tired of friends telling me they knew all along that this is how other people see them. I'm tired of friends telling me they can no longer stand to participate in Submas fan spaces, that every time they see new fan works for Submas, they're anxious it will be dehumanizing ableism. And I'm sad and angry every time it is dehumanizing ableism, and I have to hear my friends ask whether or not people see them as human, if people think they're scary or prone to harming others.

Don't know what I'm talking about? I have several posts about the ableism in the Submas fandom here. Please give them a read.

Want to argue with or attack me for whatever reason? I'll just block you, don't bother.

i think some folks may need to have the word "queerbaiting" revoked from their vocabulary until they learn what it means. perhaps

[acaciapines]

obviously if you’re busy leave this alone but: your tag essay has made me VERY intrigued about Dess and Azzy’s relationship in this AU. Tell me about it?

(also, did you see they did an announcement about Starship Iris season 3? It’s finally gonna happen!)

okay IM HERE TO TALK LOL i will NEVER not talk about this au <3 uhhh under a cut bc. really i should just expect these get super long.

big important note up top: all of this is in! early stages! things are not fully formed and researched yet so please keep that in mind as you read this. ideas might change and will get deeper as i do more work for this au, but since rn im focusing on owl house most of these are my ideas i've had without time to do deeper dives into them.

okay so with asriel i've always sort of written him as this guy who like...has an idea of what is 'normal' in his head, ie, what society wants from people, and what it doesnt want, and he has tried his hardest his entire life to always fit into this box. (think about i know im not well--this is why he's always seen kris as a human. being nonhuman is abnormal and gets you punished in society. to an extent this is also how he views dess being aromantic.)

i think a lot of this comes from fear--asriel IS for sure contorting himself and actively harming himself to stay inside this narrow box of 'normal' (think of this as another sort of prophecy--these are all touching on the same themes). and he applies this same mentality to other people BECAUSE of this fear, because he doesnt want his loved ones to be hurt, to be punished, ostracized, etc by society--which are i wanna be clear VERY MUCH THINGS THAT HAPPEN--but in doing this he sort of just hurts the people he loves. because instead of being someone who rejects these boxes hes like. no we gotta be good and fit into the boxes and then everything will be okay.

so when it comes to dess, dess has always very much Done Her Own Thing, consequences be damned. partly this is who she is, partly this is hashtag undiagnosed and untreated mental illness, the onset of which happens around when shes 18 and everything is going down with the bunker (which is NOT helping at ALL). and so when dess comes back from the bunker asriel does very much go 'oh. shes delusional.' and proceed to be No Help At All.

and like, the thing is dess IS very much having a psychotic break. this bit is very much still in deep research (sidenote: anybody in my audience who has experience w/ these things. feel free to hit me up/dm me lol i'd love to talk through some of my ideas as a sort of preliminary sensitivity read, but of course only do this if you are up to it, no pressure lol bc again we're in early stages) but she has schizoaffective + bipolar disorder. dark worlds dont help with this, asriel SUPER doesnt help with this (he doesnt know her actual disorder--neither of them do, this is the onset of things. but tbf even if he did he Would Not Help asriel is essentially doing everything wrong here.) and what dess needs is literally one single person in her corner but the person who is supposed to be in her corner (azzy) is basically being like 'you are making this up' and shes like im NOT, and everything is all mixed together, terrible, bad, awful, and eventually everything culminates and. we know what happens.

(side note but this is why she and chara work real well together actually--chara gets her when asriel doesnt!!)

asriel never actually like. tells anybody about this though. in his head after its assumed dess and kris have died he sort of just. is like well this proves it. i cant let anybody else i care about go that far EVER AGAIN, because if i was a better friend i would've noticed and i wouldve stopped it and made dess "normal." (yes asriel sucks here. the focus is on the kids but. he's getting an arc. i do promise he will get better but. that doesnt really fix what he's done in the past.)

and all of this is like. it fucking sucks for the people around asriel. in hurting himself he's hurting his loved ones--it pushes dess away, and that relationship is never going to be the same. even when asriel realizes how he fucked up i dont think dess really forgives him. because if asriel had just believed her, or at least even if he didnt actually took her seriously and tried to help, shes like. things wouldve gone differently. and asriel knows this too.

and then when it comes to NOELLE, well. asriel's always been very overprotective of her. terrified the world is going to hurt her. and so when noelle starts experiencing things, things she cant tell if theyre real or not...

she doesnt tell him. she doesnt tell anybody. she keeps it all to herself, and this means its a hell of a lot easier for the player/red soul to manipulate her. and nobody finds out until its too late.

More of a meta question, almost (if not all) of your writing has been when monsters have made their way to surface. Would descendtale follow this still or would stories with them follow a reader insert that fell underground with them?

I like the idea of it being open to either!

'Fell into the Underground' stories can be a lot of fun so I kind of like that this one has more built-in space for that, but in terms of getting the Descendtale monsters up to the surface...

The Frisk of this 'verse/timeline has no interest in or thoughts of going back to the Underground.

However, they have just found out that magic is real, and that they can do it. They live the rest of their life as a mage, doing real magic and showing others how to do it too.

Most people hearing about what they can do--and what people who learned from them can do--dismiss it easily enough. Sleight of hand, special effects, digital editing, people have been faking 'magic' about as long as the word's existed, this latest brand of it is just another fad, a hoax.

Still, it becomes something of a subculture, mixing in with similar trends like witchcraft and the occult in general.

Decades later, most people who get into that sort of magic can't do anything too impressive, but it's especially popular in Ebott, a place with lots of local legends about the mountain, monsters sealed away beneath it, people going missing around it--really spooky, mystical stuff...

It's the perfect place for a group of young aspiring mages to go to attempt the weird ritual they found in a creepy old book they found in the back of the occult section of the local library.

And well...young people with old magic books containing incantations they don't fully understand will do what young people with old magic books containing incantations they don't fully understand do and, between them all, the Barrier is broken.

Eventually, monsters start to trickle out and the rest is history...or rather, the present.

Apparently someone thinks the confessions blog is the place to talk about wanting to fuck a perfectly normal human person? 😂

Not even a fictional character. They were generic about the human in question. If they’d mentioned a name of a fictional person I may have let it go through but I’m sorry “horny white guy” doesn’t count as a monster without additional details.

Unless the horny word there means he has horns. 😂

I read the message like five times trying to find the monster involved lol. Nothing.

Like I don’t gatekeep what counts as a monster but I’m gonna say this very clearly doesn’t count.

[raiiny-bay]

thinking about the monster boyz AU & how kel never gets to be truly happy in it...

[tommyssupercoolblog]

hey how much is sapnap and matpat in the new tommyinnit video, i want to watch but i don't really want to see them

Matpat isn't in it. Sapnap is but it's just Tommy seeing him coming out of a store, asking if he's fucked up mentally, sapnap says no and Tommy is like "nice seeing you" very dryly and sarcasticly, and leaves. A lot of people say Tommy was being a bitch to him on purpose but he has autism and I ALSO have autism so....idfk

No one:

Person writing an introduction for a well-known novel: I am going to spoil the vital plot points and twists of this book for anyone who has not read it

[betasuppe]

I realize that the Bad Ending! Champion Emmet would most definitely be so deluded in his own misery that after Mina's death, he would 500% try to get her back any way he could.

Whether it's him somehow finding a pkmn powered way to steal a Mina from another reality/dimension/etc away from a version of himself that actually had a chance to get a happy ending...

Or desperately trying to ensure post-death that she turns into a pkmn so he can have her with him forever & ever & ever & never be alone♡

...

Truth be told, I don't know which is worse but I kind of like the implied misery of them both♡

[exterminate-flatscan-terrorists]

As a misanthropic XMen fan, my belief in the IRREDEEMABLE TRASHINESS OF HUMANITY has once again been VALIDATED when Humans in real life and fiction have once again proved that they do not deserve to be saved. If you're NOT a moron who instantly jump into JUSTIFYING Child Murder, stop reading, keep scrolling this isnt for you. If this offends your FLATSCAN Muggle pride, I dont fvcking care.

anyway... soooo, The Last of Us' controversial choice of Joel... ungh

Dr Jerry Anderson and the Fireflies were just WRONG.

bunch psudoscience feel good id!ots the lot of them.

The only people who are debating this are the scientifically illiterate.

ya know, the idiots who takes the opinions of ONE Firefly "DOCTOR" seriously.

There is NO DEBATE to be had here because the Fireflies are pseudoscience idiots who dont know WTF they where doing.

Their ONE "DOCTOR" came up with a BuIISht theory and IMMIDIATELY DECIDED TO KILL A CHILD as a solution.

It takes TEAMS of actual SCIENTISTS , then YEARS of research, experiments, testings, discoveries, and development to come up with vaccines and cures,

but for some reason, the Fireflies' ONE "DOCTOR" has figured everything out in under a few hours. And everyone in this merry band of idiots believed him.

Whats next? Hes gonna mix Ellies brain with GOOP and spread the cure via 5G????

This is elementary level basic knowledge of the scientific process, you fvcking dissapointing morons. But no, I feel like we're dealing with idiot lunatics whos done nothing but loose, theyre so DESPERATE for a WIN at something , theyed delude themselves into believing anything.

and then, there are the idiots bitching about "ooooh, they should have waked her up so she could give consent!"

Jezus shting chr;st.

I am so fvcking baffled at the excuses you FLATSCAN Muggle trash come up with to excuse your bullsht.

As stated at the beginning regarding the fact that the Fireflies and their ONE "DOCTOR" are more WRONG about this "cure" than the Flatearthers with phds ... god fvcking damnit, i cant think of words of how stupid you Muggles are.

I DONT CARE IF SHE CONSENTS. She would have died for NOTHING, because the ONE "DOCTOR" is WRONG!!!

And also, when a child says she wants to DIE for anything , dont fvcking let her, you selfish fv¢king psycho!!

This shouldnt even be discussed!

What the heII is wrong with you people!?

Getting infected can be AVOIDED , just dont be fv¢king stup¡d, stup¡d.

Youre gonna k¡ll a CHILD because you cant be asked to NOT be a dvmba$$ .

In the Last of Us Universe, Average NOT STUPlD PEOPLE dont get infected. You can avoid it. Youre gonna sacrifice a child because youre a dvmba$$ who wanna French kiss a child clicker?

THIS IS NOT THE TROLLEY PROBLEM!!! Humans have been surviving for DECADES! In their walled off communities, QZs, Jackson, WLF, The Seraphites, There are communities in the frigid Canada, etc. The entirety of The Last of Us Part II has almost NOTHING to do with the fungus! BECAUSE through years of experience, HUMANS FIGURED OUT HOW TO AVOID GETTING INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

If you live in the Last of Us world and you dont wanna get infected, be cautious, be careful , DONT BE FVCKING STUPID.

Humanity is NOT tied on train tracks. HUMANITY CAN AVOID THE TRAIN!!!

Also, remember Marlenes lines?

"How long till she's torn apart by Infected or murdered by raiders?"

ah yes, thank you for pointing out the actual USUAL ways people get killed.

Is there a vaccine for "getting ripped apart" , a vaccine for "bullets, stabbings, GOLF CLUBS"??? A vaccine for general Human bullshittery??

The Fungus Problem at this point in the story is just another nuisance, just another threat, the fungus threat that Humanity has been learning to avoid for DECADES.

As a Misanthrope, I see these "debates" regarding "The Ethics of Killing a Teenager" as yet another proof that Humans are just the WORST. Its so ARROGANT of you to think youre worth killing a child for... For what, a "cure" against a disease YOU CAN AVOID easily by NOT being dumbass?? Its like you delusionally believe that drinkinng a childs blood will prevent Cov¡d, so because you dont want to wear a fvcking mask or wash your filthy hands, nah, youd kill a child instead.

Joel is Not the one whos selfish here. YOU ARE. You filthy FLATSCAN Muggle trash have the audacity to even consider killing a teenager for the pseudoscientific FANTASY "possibility" of a "cure", against some disease you can AVOID getting infected by in the first place. wat. is it getting repetitive. is it even sticking in your mind or are you just too busy doing Olympic Mental Gymnastics coming up with Bullsht reasons as to why its justified to kill Ellie.

Me if I'm in that Last of Us world, I would absolutely love to unalive MONSTERS that sacrifice children. Spray your Misanthrope repellant, Dunning Kruger, delude your self, thats what your good at, dont worry, "there won't be any pain"

I feel my Misanthropic beliefs are vindicated or validated when I see Human ANIMALS just loose their fvcking reasoning skills, and jump right into Child Sacrifice that will result into NOTHING, just because youre selfish scared cowards idiots. Its the same fvcking mentality that drove you into burning "witches", or the actual Child Sacrifice because your god told you, or kill albinos because you think their bones have magical properties, or then massacreing minorities, putting innocent black teens in nooses because some white girl felt threatened, putting people in concentration camps then in ovens, etc. This mentality never left. Youd kill a child if it means you wouldnt be afraid for a bit, youd justify it in your mind, until you are reminded that the real MONSTERS are PEOPLE, like you.

The FACT that the MAJORITY of you moronic FLATSCAN Muggle fv¢kers dont even fv¢king bother to stop and THINK before saying shit like "Kill child for TINY POSSIBILITY of cure" just proves that Humanity deserves extinction. You fv¢kers dont even stop to think sh¡t through. No thoughts, no hesitation. Just Fvck you.

FYI, I didnt make this post to change your mind, becuz thats IMPOSSIBLE, youre the type of m0ron whod fall for SCAMS and pseudoscientific Quack garbage claims made by anyone who claims to be a "doctor" just because he proposes GARBAGE Silver Bullet theories (sad that you didnt die after the QUACKS told you to actually drink Silver to fight cov¡d, they should have said mercury, it would have culled a lot of you ¡diots), youre not giving a fv¢k about the opinions of other actual experts but you'd listen to m0rons who think 5G causes cov¡d, people like you cant ever be convinced of actual science. I dont care if you drink bleach because you believed Trump, d¡e for all I care, but the problem irises when you even THINK that killing a child is the Silver Bullet against a disease that you can avoid because YOU cant prevent yourself for being a dµmba$$. That type of subhuman thinking should put you on some type of list.

I hate being reminded that I'm trapped in this planet with semisentient creatures that "think" like you. Stup¡d GOOP loving ARROGANT cov¡diot fv¢ks who'd kill children because YOU think ¡diot fv¢ks like YOU are worth sacrificing anything for. I wish I have enough poisoned GOOP for all of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it!

Sometimes I'm surprised that monster hunter isn't more popular among the creature design and spec evo corners of tumblr, at least the portions that also play video games, and then I remember that it's just about as hard as soulsborne games (I'd argue some specific entries are even harder) but doesn't have any of the atmospheric or story elements to attract people. It gets by on sheer gameplay alone and isn't a pvp game either. There is no way to make the game easier besides picking one of the less mechanically complex weapons and git gud. If it wasn't for the neat dinosaurs I couldn't think of a game less alluring to the average tumblr user
