What the hell is the bedman
So I'm gonna need to remember everything I learned about Guilty Gear Lore that I binged learning over the course of three days a year ago (and considering GG lore, thats rough and I absolutely had to look it up to make sure I got it right) but here's the gist
Bedman and his sister (named Delilah) have a condition that they are so galaxy-brained that if they aren't in an induced coma, then they will die. To mitigate this problem, he exclusively sleeptalks, and his brain controls a mech that is also his bed. He is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal and I love him.
So Bedman teams up with the evil clown pope (not a joke) to become god so that he can create a world where he and his sister can be awake (remembering the name of everyone he killed so he can bring them back when he gets god powers). After having to wake up during an especially rough battle, evil clown pope revealed she is, surprise, evil, and Bedman fucking dies. Apparently it's revealed that his soul was put into his bed, and now it would appear that the bed, now possessed with his soul, is continuing its life (although now kinda fucked up apparently) to protect his sister.
I would like to fully confirm that I would die for these two and I still cannot fucking believe that they're in Strive holy shit holy shit

Warning! I will be blogging about my first Tales of Abyss playthrough here. If you don't want to see it or be flooded or smth, blacklist "sevi plays tales of the abyss"
@magicmetslogic get tagged!
Soooo started Tales of the Abyss now! (I kept thinking it's called Tales of Abyss, without the "the", RIP me) Must say, this immediately felt incredibly different of a premise to Vesperia (the only Tales I have finished til now) and Zestiria (which I... maybe barely passed the prologue, lol). I think a lot of that is because of Luke and his situation. Getting into that later on.
But! Let's start from the top.
Absolutely gorgeous opening for one, really loved it. I probably got spoilered without realizing it, but with no context, that's not terrible. I remain blissfully unaware!
It immediately felt a bit faster paced story-wise. A bit more emotionally taxing on the protagonist, too. To start, I open the game and get immediately met with red-headed, hot-headed Luke (who is fittingly spoken by Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced Tidus in FFX) and Ithink he's an upbeat headstrong guy - which he is but -
I barely leave his room to get thrown a skit immediately:
I hit the mental breaks when I read that because what. What. You just kept your kid inside like a pet or something?
I mean, in Vesperia, Estelle had a sheltered upbringing as well, and was certainly a bit on the naive side, but she at least was acutely aware of the world outside of the walls of her prison. Luke is not even given that, which you realize approximately two minutes into the game since his only contact to the outside world seems to be his swordfight trainer Van. I am absolutely flabbergasted. This is damaging to a kid!
(And no, this is no normal response to your kid getting kidnapped. Protecting him is one thing. Putting him on house arrest a whole other. I suspect it's not just a security thing but there is more going on here.)
And then next mental break: What the hell is Flynn Scifo doing here?
I'm joking, I'm joking. And yes I have been informed that technically, Flynn is a copy of Guy since Vespy came out later. But still. With my minimum knowledge of Tales, forgive me for immediately drawing connection to Versperia at every turn. And the likeness is startling! XD He seems to be a good guy that Guy (pft) so for now, I like the boy.
(Stop climbing outta windows like a thief though!)
Ah. Really glad I decided to explore the rooms a little. This is...
Well. I assume this was meant to be one of those anime-typical jokes of "haha, he's afraid of this or that" but... call me old-fashioned or a snowflake or whatever the correct term is but I don't think this is very funny. These two quite literally have him cornered, and he looks outright terrified of them. And instead of backing off - or Luke rescuing him - we just have to leave again? Uff. Don't like.
Never quite liked making fun of things others are afraid of, not even if it seems silly from outside.
... Oh wow. Luke is even more sheltered than I thought. This seems to be general, public knowledge, and he got nothing? Does he not get any kind of schooling while on house arrest?
From their reactions, this is not something he is supposed to know but forgot, but more like, nobody even told him. That's... okay. I seriously question his parents right now as well as Van for not teaching him even basics of the outside world.
(On the other hand, in a sense of dumbing it all down for a new player, this is quite genius. Given that Luke needs to be explained everything, so does the player learn at the same time. but still. Questionable decisions all around.)
Utterly. Questionable. Decisions.
Yes I'm already going full on protective mama bear mode on Luke. Give me a caged, sad kid who tries to put on a loud and confident facade and I immediately go "mine" XD
And now, for that faster pacing...
Ma'am I JUST finished the tutorial would you please refrain from killing me til I got to practice some more!

WASSSSS GOOD WEB HEADS!? Check out my little non-spoiler review of Spider-Man 2 below!
Iām gonna dump a whole bunch of photos from Marvelās Spider-Man 2šøļøš·ļø I 100% completed the story and am just truly enjoying this game, itās everything Iāve ever wanted in a Spider-Man game. The emotions, the power, the action and most of all the performances, especially from Yuri Lowenthal.
This has to be the best voice over performance Iāve ever seen for Peter Parker, and Nadji Jeter truly delivers a fantastic performance as Miles. He and Shameik Moore have brought so much to the voice of Miles this year and I love it.
And MAAAAAN. Tony Todd as Venom is absolutely frightening and badass all at the same time. Every moment Venom is on screen he just captivates the whole show. Iām so glad I avoided seeing any spoilers regarding his scenes because itās the best iteration of Venom in my opinion.
Iām going to avoid posting certain photos with some suits until next week at least since there are people still playing. Any spoilers in the comments will get blocked, so please be courteous, and I hope youāll enjoy more photos from me. And thank you Insomniac Games for this beautiful gem! Be greater Web Heads!š¤š¾š·ļøšøļøā¤ļø

Itās question time Muhahahahhha 1. WHO is the hottest genshin character 2.Who is the cutest genshin character 3. How can you write and draw so amazingly , š«š«š« tell me!!!!!!!!!! Tell me youāre secrets master - š¾/dumb questions anon
1)
I'm asexual but Dainsleif of course <33333 He's my beloved. Nothing beats his drip in my personal opinion and his personality is perfect. I like TsudaKen and Yuri Lowenthal.
*gently and shyly pushes my lord Ayato away*
...
*shOVES ALHAITHAM AWAYā*
2)
My children. I-I love all my children equally cause I raised them into fine kids! I love my C6 Razor, Chongyun, and Diona!
*watches the boys leave calmly*
*yanks Diona*
It's this one. This one by a longshot if we're talking about cuteness. If we're going for wholesomeness, Razor and Chongyun are a tie.
Although if we're talking about husbandos, I'd say it's either Kazuha or Heizou that's real cute. Kazuha's the longest 5 star I have and each interaction either gives me wholesome vibes or absolute sadness. Either way is fine. Plus I just genuinely love both their ENG voices lmao, Heizou's personality is >>>>>
3)
Easy question: I don't.
I seriously don't. Am not a masterā am always a beginner. I've manipulated you into thinking that I do but once you wake up that dream is o v e r.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
(okay but fr tho most of my "writing process" is me just reading books and writing down vocabulary words I find and rephrase it for my own fics. I kinda treat writing as a way of learning since I'm bilingual lololol. And when it comes to drawing I just... Take pics of dolls and try to gesture draw lol. How I generate plot however... That I'm not sure. And I hate it lol. It's either nothing or "yandere plushie alhaitham". I still don't know why I made idol!Kaeya pluck his eyes when I could've, idk, went with something softer hAHAHAHā)
#ansytea-talks#shaiiaka aint no way iM CALLING YOU DUMBā#š¾ anon#man im still sad af how am i supposed to get Alhaitham šššš

I just did the Coney Island thing in Spider-Man 2 and holy fuck who's in charge of blocking during scenes in Insomniac? Cause what a fucking genius. No spoilers. But pay attention to the crucial difference between scenes from the first game and now. When you talk to someone you can't see Pete's face!!! It's such a genius move. It lets you project on to him and in the case of webheads, true believers and spider-fans it's absolutely fucking potent because of the love we have for Pete and the sincerity that Yuri Lowenthal brungs to the role.
Also dumbasses will claim the face model changing doesn't change anything. But it so fucking does!!! Not on our end much as the writers end. Because though he was supposed to be around 24 in Spider-Man 1, the writing, face model, and Yuri Lowenthal's voice acting betrayed a much older and more world weary Spider-Man. And because the story this time was focusing on a different role. Rather than one of independence and mentoring, one of hope and comradarie, the face had to change as the tone of the writing and voice acting also changed. The faces changing was a good thing.

Just some random and incoherent thoughts on some of Curt's storyline and characterization in Insomniac Spider-Man 2 that I definitely want to elaborate on later when it's more acceptable to discuss spoilers in posts proper bc omg I love this version of him so much, he's perfect!!, anyway, SPOILERS for both him specifically and the general plot -
I absolutely love the progression, re: how aggressive Peter is in the black suit from the first to last Lizard boss fight, just him going from his usual compassion in trying to reach out to Curt and reminding him that he's a good man and to remember his family and trying not to hurt him too badly in the first fight to saying all those awful things about how it's no surprise his family left him bc he's weak and an awful person and threatening to beat the shit out of him in the last fight, just great narrative progression and storytelling.
'Don't let your son grow up without his dad' and 'I saved you before, I'll save you again', Yuri Lowenthal's delivery is so good for those lines omg š„ŗ
All of the stuff with Billy is still killing me, like, the way Curt hasn't touched any of his toys and his bedroom even though it's been years and he wouldn't be a toddler anymore even if they did see each other again, and the password to his lab being Billy's favourite song as a baby! The keypad is even set up like a music and counting game for a toddler!! Aaaaah!! š
The last thing he says to Mary Jane when he starts transforming being, 'I'm sorry' after she tried so hard to save him, even though it's not his fault and he did nothing wrong iejfkdjjdu
Curt asking Peter how he's feeling after getting the symbiote off and reassuring him it's not his fault when Peter says he feels ashamed about what he did, like, he gets it even though he probably wouldn't extend that same grace to himself š

HUNTSVILLE COMIC CON
Saturday night we drove 3 1/2 hours to Huntsville, Alabama to go to the Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Convention, where they were having a Naruto Reunion!
We got to the hotel around 8:30pm , and honestly the bed was horrible, but Sunday was worth the wait! We woke up, got ready, and left for the con, I was dressed as a Naruto of course!
We got there and went straight to the voice actors! I met Christina Vee, who voices Ladybug from The Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir, and Killua from HxH. Unfortunately she was extremely rude, but I got a photo with her and wouldn't change it for a thing!
After her we met the Bryce Papenbrook who voices Meliodas and Zeldris in Seven Deadly Sins, Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist, Inosuke in Demon Slayer, Kirito in Sword Art Online, Eren Yeager in Attack On Titan, Cat Noir in The Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir, and honestly so many more. But he was truly one of a kind! Such a great dude, and you could tell he loves his job! Did the you traitor line from AOT on video for us, and was truly awesome!
After that we met Brian Donovan who voices Rock Lee in Naruto! We met him last year, and he instantly remembered us! He got to meet our son and absolutely loved him, and signed a photo for him for free! Always such a pleasure seeing him!
Next we meet Tom Gibis , Shikamaru Nara from Naruto, the guy was just fantastic, and was definitely not a drag meeting him! He signed my Naruto hoodie, and we had a long talk about the show and his thoughts on Shikamarus growth! Have us free stickers as well ! Such an awesome man!
The last person we met was Yuri Lowenthal , Sasuke Uchiha, he was a great dude as well! So easy to talk to! Super kind , and truly a great way to end the con! Wish I got his signature for the hoodie, but maybe next time!

Games I Played in 2022 (reviews)
In 2022 I moved 18 hours away to a totally different state to live with some friends, and leaving everything behind has left me feeling very displaced. One of the ways Iāve been managing my feelings has been through video games. I played a lot of games this year - or rather, I played a few games a LOT this year - and I wanna talk about them. Iāll only be talking about games I played for the first time, though. I donāt feel like talking about games Iāve played before.
Bugsnax
We are whatever we eat
Not long after I released my album in 2021, one of my now-housemates told me it sounded a lot like it would fit in with the Bugsnax soundtrack. This felt almost insulting to me because I hadnāt played, or heard much about Bugsnax, but it looked and sounded to me like a stupid and condescending comparison. But a couple of weeks after I arrived in Queensland, he got me to sit down and play the game.Ā
The main menu theme ended up being my top song on Spotify this year.
In Bugsnax, you play as an unnamed journalist who travels to Snaktooth Island in search of answers as to what Bugsnax are, how they function, and what happened to Elizabert Megafig, the researcher who recently disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Youāll meet twelve other Grumpuses on the island, develop friendships with them, and help them with personal missions to convince them to return to their town, Snaxburg. This often involves catching Bugsnax and feeding them to the Grumpuses, which in turn transforms a piece of their body to resemble the Snak they just ate.Ā
A good metric for gameplay comparison is this yearās most āinnovativeā instalment to the Pokemon franchise, Pokemon Legends Arceus. One of the main draws of Legends Arceus is that to catch a Pokemon, instead of dealing with a long ass battle, you can just throw a Pokeball at a Pokemon, and catch it in a fraction of the time. The problem with this is there are 242 Pokemon in the game, and the absolute MOST interesting thing you can do to catch a Pokemon is to throw a berry near it to trick it into turning away from you, so you can hit the back of its head with the Pokeball to increase catch rates.
In Bugsnax, there are 100 Bugsnax and dozens of ways to catch them, and theyāre ALL incredibly fun and satisfying. Lure them into your Snaktrap with their favourite sauces. Flush them out of their hidey-holes with your Strabby in a ball. Trick them into running into each other, and catch them with a net while theyāre disoriented. Sometimes theyāre on fire, so you and your tools canāt touch them. Sometimes theyāre aggressive, so theyāll just bash you and your tools away when you get near. Itās always fun to catch a Bugsnak, and sometimes theyāre a really intriguing puzzle to solve.
One fun surprise was how well-written the characters are. Each character feels like a person, and theyāre all COMPLETELY different people, with really interesting relationships to each other, so no one feels repetitive. Youāve got Filbo, the mayor of Snaxburg whoās not taken seriously or respected at all by his peers, who lacks confidence but is always there and willing to help you, his only friend. Youāve got Wiggle, an award-winning ābanjo-popā star whoās trying desperately to find her spark again, and thinks Bugsnax may be the answer. Youāve got Snorpy, an anxiety-ridden conspiracy theorist who loves inventing things and is totally in love with his best friend Chandlo, a gym-bro fitness buff (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal!) whoās big on philosophy and maintaining oneās mental strength/wellbeing as well.
My point here is that there is a lot of diversity in the types of characters youāll meet in Bugsnax, and youāll never be bored with the conversation.Ā
Returning to the soundtrack (by Seth Parker) for a minute, it really is fantastic. There were a few tracks that admittedly took longer than others to grow on me because they were kinda pitchy (namely Those Darn Bungers, but Iāve come to absolutely ADORE that track), but now that Iāve grown to understand it all, I really wouldnāt change a thing. Itās so fun to listen to, both inside and outside the context of the game, and a large amount of it holds a healthy amount of emotional charge.
All in all, I love Bugsnax. I didnāt even talk about things like the controls (excellent), the art style (excellent), the story (excellent), or the Snak designs (excellent), but Iād love to do a YouTube video about this game someday, so Iāll get further into detail then. But for now, if I had to describe Bugsnax with just one word, itād be ācharmingā. If youāre a fan of Pokemon Legends Arceus, PLEASE play Bugsnax too, youāll see what I mean when I say it wipes the floor with Legends Arceus.
Fav tracks (THE WHOLE FUCKING ALBUM ((except maybe Charweeās Day Out))): Sunrise Over Snaktooth Island, Welcome to Snaxburg, Youāre The Journalist!

Donut County
Why should I apologise for delivering this pathetic, vegetable-eating coyote a donut?
In 2017, I got a lot of ads for free mobile games where you play as a hole in the ground that expands as you consume objects of increasing size. In 2018, Donut County came out; a game where you play as a hole in the ground that expands as you consume objects of increasing size. Over the years Iāve seen a lot of YouTubers say they thoroughly enjoyed Donut County, but I was always scared away by its price tag. After all, why should I pay $30 for a game thatās identical to all those free mobile games I kept getting ads for?
But then one day as I was listening to my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, one song came on that had me thinking āoh shit this oneās a bangerā. I checked what it was and it was Garbage Day, from the Donut County soundtrack. I decided ok, Iāll get the game someday, and a few months later I got bored and said fuck it.Ā
Turns out itās a short game, so I was able to beat it in a 3-hour sitting, but damn did I have fun. The gameplay is very simple - you move the hole around and make stuff fall in it - but itās tight. The gameplay is tight. Not the hole. The hole is very expansive.
The story goes as follows: Everyone in Donut County is already in the hole, and each level is a flashback that tells the story of how each character ended up in the hole. At about the gameās halfway point though, a loose end gives everyone a glimmer of hope that they may somehow be able to get out of the hole.
The gameplay takes the story as an opportunity to explore new ways you can make the hole interact with the world. You can solve puzzles involving which objects you swallow in what order, ejecting certain objects to knock things down from high places, and more. It takes the simple mechanic and plays with it in some really fun and interesting ways.
MUSIC: Daniel Koester has a very particular style that I havenāt heard in video games before. Itās like lo-fi, but Daniel focuses a lot more on percussion than most lo-fi artists Iāve heard. A lot of clicks and snaps and other fun sounds make the soundtrack particularly unique, but it never disturbs the fun and casual vibe which is rounded off by lighthearted guitar. Hell yeah, Iād listen to this soundtrack for any reason.
As far as $30 mobile games go, I definitely like Donut County the most.
Fav tracks: Garbage Day, Slackers, Honey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fatum Betula
Long ago I was gifted immortality. At first I was relieved. But 50 years into my new situationā¦ I began to rot.
I really canāt describe Fatum Betula as anything other than a surreal masterpiece. Itās a walking simulator in which you search for liquids to feed the fountain of life, but there really does seem to be a much deeper meaning to it. For each liquid you feed the fountain, thereās a different ending to be found. This makes it a really fun puzzle to try and find/create new liquids in search of all 10 endings, interacting with the characters you meet and the world in really interesting ways.
The music is generally ambient and incredibly peaceful to listen to. If I could stream it anywhere other than YouTube, Iād sleep to it. Itās got this sense of melancholia about it that invokes this feeling of reflection as it draws you further into the world.
The graphics are that of a PS1 game, which really adds to the charm of the game alongside the dialogue and aforementioned soundtrack. Itās peaceful, melancholy, and invokes feelings of longing for a time and place youāve never even been.
Thereās also a healthy amount of comedy in it, though. From the old diverās love for the ocean, to the literal angel that tells you something horrible about your future, to the Skeleton Ending, to the bizarre messages you read on the TV. This game has a great way of sweeping the rug from beneath your feet with an unexpected laugh.
Fav tracks: Cherry Daydream, Red Memories, Drifting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Metroid Dread
You are faced with overwhelming power. Accept your helplessness.
Metroid Dread is the only Metroid game Iāve played, but I appreciated that itās incredibly friendly to new audiences. I tried to play Metroid 4 on the SNES Emulator for the Switch, but I didnāt get far.
The story is simple but effective, and Samusā abilities start from scratch which gives you plenty of time to acclimate to them as you rediscover what Samus can do. The maps are diverse, and thereās an abundance of exploration to do in each area, but none of the areas get stale because each new ability you find (which is a lot btw) unlocks a new area to explore.
I feel like Iām sounding like a broken record here, but the ambient soundtrack does a fantastic job of setting the mood, but that extends to the sound design too. In particular, the E.M.M.I.s are absolutely fucking terrifying. You know all those memes about how the pitter-patter of the piano at the start of the Guardian theme in Breath of the Wild is supposed to be the āsound that gives everyone a heart attackā? I never got that. I get that chill from the beeping of the E.M.M.I.s though. Those guys are so much scarier than Guardians, especially when theyāre chasing you. Those motherfuckers are a well-designed enemy. Hell yeah.
What I really want to talk about, though, is how my dumbfuck friend ruined my night a few weeks ago while I was in the middle of my second playthrough. I was on the phone with him and I donāt remember exactly what led to this topic - I think we were recounting legendary Reddit moments (āI Also Choose This Guyās Dead Wifeā, āYou Like That You Fucking R****dā, etc.), but he referenced a āRedditor whoās in love with his imaginary cockroach girlfriendā.Ā
I, not having heard about this, immediately asked him what the fuck he was talking about, because it sounded like he was pranking me. He proceeds to find - and read out loud to me - this series of Reddit posts from some guy who watched too many Cronenberg movies, and created an imaginary girlfriend named Ogtha, who was a giant cockroach, but with a human vagina. Fuckingā¦ Ogtha. What kind of name is that?? Itās incredible how bad this story gets, though. A cockroach tulpa gf wasnāt bad enough, this dude managed to fuck his entire life up THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, YEARS APART because of this delusion.Ā
I really recommend reading the entire story yourself. Itās horrible, and youāll be outraged multiple times, each time worse than before. I bring this up because now Ogtha the Cockroach is now permanently intertwined with my memories of Metroid Dread. Her name is Ogtha. Why is her name Ogtha? I hate everything about this story.
Metroid Dread is a great game, though.Ā
Fav tracks: Ataria II, Ferenia, Burenia I.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So thatās my list of reviews, I might do this again for the end of 2023. I had fun writing this, although I really shouldnāt have procrastinated so much.

How about Todd Habberkorn? (I hope I wrote his surname correctly XD) And Happy New Year!
It's just one B, but it's such a unique last name and I'm absolutely sure I've misspelled it a few times too XD But also Happy New Year to you too!
So Todd Haberkorn plays M!Morgan, Joshua, and Siegbert. He's also famously known for playing Ling in FMA:B and Natsu from FairyTail and Death the Kid (lots of well known roles), and other roles that are my favorite of his are Sho Minazuki from Persona Ultimax, and one of the twins from Ouran High School whose name escapes me right now.
Ok, performance-wise, I'm gonna get this out of the way. When Todd was first brought into FEH to play M!Morgan and Joshua... it was bad. BUT I DON'T BLAME HIM BECAUSE WHOEVER WAS DOING THE VOICE DIRECTING AT THE TIME WAS FUCKING IT UP FOR A LOT OF ACTORS. Like I mentioned before, Bryce Papenbrook, Antony Del Rio, and Greg Chun (yes I know I said Greg Chun has issues with his own acting, but in part I DO blame a good chunk of it on whoever was voice directing him, too) all are actors who actually have a history of being great fucking actors. But his M!Morgan and Joshua were so flat, especially M!Morgan, my baby boy! And I'm not saying any of this to be mean, I LOVE Todd Haberkorn! I met him at a con in 2018 and I got his signature, which is still hanging up in my room (Along with Johnny Yong Bosch's signature). But damn if he wasn't screwed over by the voice director when he first came to FEH. However, it DID get better when he became the new voice for Siegbert. Even though I mentioned before that I'm more partial to David Stanbra's Siegbert (and we already went into a spiel about Stanbra on Xander Mobus's critique so I'm not doing that again, lol), Todd was a great pick as a replacement and his voice started emoting more, giving Siegbert that mild and slightly insecure tone. And finally, FINALLY, when we got the fallen Morgans and summer Joshua, we got to hear great performances for those characters! Oh and don't even get me STARTED on Ascended Joshua, that performance makes me blush. So overall, his performance is great, he just got screwed over in the beginning with that awful voice direction. Wait until we get Metody, then we'll REALLY get a great performance from him.
I think he fits all his characters perfectly, Todd has a very distinct voice that works in his favor for playing younger characters, just like Yuri Lowenthal.
Now range... again, I HATE to be so mean to Todd, but just because I love him doesn't mean I should be biased or overlook honest critique. Todd's range IS very limited, due to his distinct voice. Even though it's a perfect voice for voice-acting and his emotional performance is fantastic, his voice isn't exactly a great voice for range. Does he make up for it with inflection and emotion? Hell yeah, and that's what sets him apart from other VAs who might struggle with range. Although, even though I'm not super familiar with it, I heard he played some older character in Drakengard 3 (hope I spelled that right myself) which surprised the heck out of me when I looked it up.
All in all, Todd is a good comfortable 8/10. I adore his work and I hate that he got screwed over by the bad voice directing when I KNOW his voice acting is top-quality.
#Fire Emblem Heroes#FEH#ask game#Todd Haberkorn#My signature I have from him is a drawing I made (really crappy mind you; it was when I was still trying to get the hang of drawing)#Of Ling holding a room service bill referencing that one scene in FMA:B where he asks Ed to pay the room service bill#I don't care much for a lot of English dubs in anime these days but I will always love Todd's dub roles

omg so glad you thought the same about twv!! I just finished and so many different parts of the last episode made me so mad, idk if they're trying for a season 6 (even after saying this is the finale) but I'm not going to listen anymore. if you have recs for similar podcasts i would rly love them
lol Iām glad some people enjoyed my incandescent rage. Like. Woof.
Iām so sorry you had to sit through that finale. And baiting a new show just. Doesnāt do anything for me. There are so many ways TWV fell short and didnāt follow through that there is absolutely no way that I believe another show by the same writers will do any better. So handshake through the screen, Anon; I am sharing and understanding your problem.
As for recommendations, I like horror podcasts, but I usually like cosmic horror and folk horror bestāwhich is a slightly different flavor of horror usually? Also a lot of the horror that I like is in book form. But for podcast recs, Youāve probably heard all of the ones I like, but here are some ones that I did enjoy:
-The Silt Verses: folk horror. Only one season is currently out. You get a lot of religious trauma, evil capitalism, and mythology somewhere in between nielman and Old Gods of Appalachia. A lot of old gods and their religions have been banned by the government. Two disciples of one of these illegal gods, a river god, are traveling the river looking for evidence of their godās miracles and existence. The god itself, like All of the gods in this world, is horrifying and requires human sacrifice, the two disciples are both serial killers; and the state-sanctioned gods and the police sent after these disciples are Even Worse.
-The Magnus Archives: Cosmic horror/horror tragedy. Everyone and their dog seems to have listened to this but yeah. Iāve listened to it at least 3 times through. Very very good at not answering every possible question but knowing what questions need answering and answering those. Favorite. Also, I enjoy that it is and was always intended to be a horror tragedy, but that one character became So Powerful in personality and beliefs that they changed the way the author wrote the end. And capitalism is evil.
-Old Gods of Appalachia: LOVE this one. Cosmic horror/folk horror anthology. Capitalism is Definitely Evil. Really, really good understanding of the people and culture it draws fromāwhich makes it feel kind of like home. Lots of angry and powerful women, lots of nuance, fantastic environment, Yuri Lowenthal was there?
-Alice Isnāt Dead: Surreal horror/cosmic horror. Creepy Americana. A woman thinks her wife is dead and then starts to see her in the background on the news, and then becomes a truck driver for the company the wife worked for in order to search for her. A complete story with a beginning, middle, and end. Good at knowing which questions to answer. Capitalism is evil. Human beings are hard.
-Hello From the Hallowoods: This show is so /comforting/ despite the horrible things that happen in it that itās almost strange to call it horror. But it still is. Itās just a very kind horror podcast. This is fantasy horror and cosmic horror. The world changed and began to end when a cosmic horror-type god (an Indescribable) who was then killed, introduced a black rain and black water that killed a lot of life and has altered the rest. The dead rarely stay dead; but they come back changed. There are Monsters in the poisoned world. And a lot of the monsters are just people. A lot of the human people are monsters in disguise. The generation that saw the black rain start is in late middle-age and the children were born into this world. Thereās a Huge cast, pretty much every character is queer, pretty much every character is nuanced, and thereās So Much Religious Trauma. Also, capitalism is evil; most of North America (at LEAST) was run by a company whose goal is to have all humans become their ācustomersā whose bodies are protected while their minds exist in a sort of shared-dream world that was heavily marketed even before the world ended. Thereās a huge rotating cast (including undead romance, undead robots, demons trying to defect from Hell, a girl trying to rescue her disappeared girlfriend and her kidnapped-by-capitalism mom, an invisible man, a forest-based commune under attack by evolving frogs, and a sentient car). Everything is narrated by an Extremely Invested and extremely comforting Indescribable whose domain is Watching Everything.
-Welcome to Nightvale. Guys, the show has run longer than it should have. It ran into problems when it started to try to answer some of its many long-running questions that shouldnāt have been answered; and the answers were so much less compelling than the questions. It sort of ossified eventually. BUT. The first several years of this show? Were amazing. This is the Foundation of modern narrative podcasts, and the father of queer podcasts. Itās the reason this medium is so much more diverse than others. This is surreal horror/horror comedy. And the first several years give you an Incredible Environment, occasional real fear, and /The/ Narrator (you donāt GET Jon Sims or Nikigkik or even Doug Eiffel without Cecil Palmer! You just Donāt). I think everyone should listen to this show, at least all of the way through the Strex Corp arc. Capitalism is evil, community is everything.
Honorable Mentions go to:
-I am In Eskew: surreal horror/cosmic horror. Sometimes a person just ends up in this incredibly fucked-up city. This isnāt my favorite kind of horror. But. It was well-written, is a complete story, and it was interesting. It raised some questions that I thought were left too open-ended. But the main characterās arc was told so thoroughly and completely, that Iāll forgive it. The confusing and unfinished vibes are confused and unfinished and bigger-than-the-story like Neverwhere*. If Neverwhere was surreal horror about an environment/city/genius locus that wants to just completely break your mind. Capitalism is still evil.
-Wolf 359: Sci-fi horror/thriller. Starts off as an episodic sci-fi comedy with off notes. Becomes a horror-thriller. Not my favorite brand of horror; some of the plot gets a little convoluted for me; but I did really like the character work. Capitalism is still evil.
*Neverwhere is one of my favorite books ever though. So the vibe isnāt what I didnāt love. Itās just the genre
Anon, again, Iām very sorry; and I hope you find something much better to listen to next.
If anyone else has recs for Anon, please chime in!

my sister was talking about wizard ghost book with me, and was like āI know thereās like 7 gay tragedies, but the most canon ones, the nice ones, (she was meaning wangxian and songxiao) both have the surviving person in the couple become the caretaker for the other oneās kid. And I really like thatā
And sheās right. Itās a parallel I hadnāt noticed. You canāt not pay attention to LWJ raising WWXās child while heās dead. But Song Lan doesnāt just take the shattered fragments of his partnerās soul. Heās given (as if itās the most natural thing to do) the shattered fragments of his partnerās kidās soul too. And his stated goal is to safeguard both of them, take care of both of them, figure out a way to repair both of them get both of them back. He doesnāt have any promise heās getting either of them; but he takes them both. He knew A-Qing for like 4 minutes before death, but thatās his kid now too.
I donāt know where I was going with this, I just saw that official art with Song Lan and the shadows of XXC and A-Qing and started typing at light speed

mxtx was so fucking baller for making the sex in svsss so bad. the meta deconstructing sex to save the world + why sex with the parody of an archetypical character in LBH model would suck but also just being 25-30+ with zero (0) experience. also it's just king shit to have the only sex in your romance novel be just the worst. legend.

Do you think actors like it when a fan absolutely gushes about how much they love them, then hits them with the gut punch of like, their least known thing? You get a chance to talk to Jen Hale and go "Alex Roivas, best character ever" or maybe tell her you adore Samus. Meet Nolan North and tell him the Prince never sounded better. I mean if you do that he might get in touch with Yuri Lowenthal and rat you out, but then you can hit him with "I loved Girls Bravo!" Two for one

INTRO // BIO // HEADCANONS
Ā« charlie rowe, 24, he/him, the amazing spider-man films/616 Ā» āā loading case file for peter parker. known aliases, if any: spider-man. current location: new york, new york. Ā current occupation: freelance photographer. he has been known to be brilliant and reckless, so proceed with caution. their current alliance: undecided. (claire, she/her, 25, gmt)
SHORT BIO
orphaned young and raised by his aunt may & uncle ben in queens, peter parker was never popular. he was a genius, and shy, and a bit of an asshole, focused on keeping his head down and just getting out. and then at fifteen, he was bitten by a radioactive spider, and everything changed. with newfound powers, he could have stopped a robber from killing his uncle ben, but he didnāt, and he resolved to never let anyone get hurt on his watch ever again, no matter what it took. he became spider-man, a hero, a vigilante, a man cut in two--amazing in the mask, an absolute train wreck out of it. when gwen stacy, his first love, died because of him, he doubled down. after a long road of stops and starts, he finally finished college, took a pause from grad school, and is now back at theĀ daily bugleĀ working as a freelance photographer.Ā it barely pays the bills, heās exhausted all the time (what else is new), heās kind of bad at it, and itās soul-sucking, but heās got a double life to maintain.

distinguishing marks: Ā his web shooters, which heās modified to look something like a watch or a fitbit and can wear with his everyday clothes. a smattering of freckles. (thereās a lot of fanart of him with a very specific freckle pattern and i think itās cute iām keeping it). surprisingly very buff under all that flannel.
tattoos: none
voice / accent: american; a bit raspy, a bit of an old-school new york accent (comes out stronger when heās stressed or in the suit; heās genuinely not sure if this is subconscious or a disguise choice) ā i use yuri lowenthal in the games as a voice claim <3
clothing style: lol. baggy sweatshirts, worn-in flannels, graphic t-shirts, battered converse. sometimes inexplicably a lot of black turtlenecks. right at that intersection between respectably disheveled nerd and skater boy grunge. he wears his suit underneath his everyday clothes most of the time. usual expression: intense concentration; confused; a little angry and stand-offish

political affiliation: peter parker voted for bernie sanders change my mind (democrat, views voting as a flawed by necessary responsibility bc he unfortunately cannot punch his way into systemic change) (spider-man has been anti-cop, pro-prison abolition, pro-union, and pretty active with civil rights movements since the late 1960s weāre proud of him)
HEALTH

neurological conditions: all undiagnosed bc this bitch wonāt see a therapist but! anxiety, depression, ptsd, likely adhd

sleeping habits: hahahahahahahaha
eating habits: his metabolism is absurdly fast, his exercise regimen out of control, and his wallet canāt keep up. he doesnāt have the time, resources, energy, or skills to cook for himself often (though he can do an ok stir fry), so he mostly gets by on inexpensive takeout and frozen meals. heās particularly fond of pizza and thai food

drug use: not really?
alcohol use: nothing extensive; a little socially, but very rarely, and particularly wonāt drink around harry. needs to stay alert to be spidey at a momentās notice. heās been known to literally order milk at a bar. i hate him.
FAVORITES:
weather: the way iām tempted to say broody and rainy. no. like a nice crisp autumn day with a little bit of a breeze and a nice amount of sun and pretty leaves

sport: baseball
beverage: cheap black burnt coffee
food: aunt mayās wheat cakes <3 and a good bagel with schmear
animal: he isā¦. not actuallyā¦.. really much of an animal personā¦.. but he will cross the street to pet a good dog and enjoys other peopleās cats

Uhm hi!
How are you? I have two questions if your donāt mind and have time to answer them:
1. the letter Sakura gets from Sasukes Hawke many people say itās for naruto since itās his weeding. But also some say itās for Sakura since itās her birthday. Iāll think itās for her. He could order the hawke to give it naruto? Also why would be blush if he just send a letter for his friend?
2. sasuke voiceactor made a 15 min video how āsasukeā explain his feelings for Sakura and he stated that sasuke always loved her but couldnāt grasped that feeling because it has the potential to hurt him. Do you think thatās really a possibility? Or just for us sasusaku fans?
Thank you š and I hope my English was ok
The letter that Sakura gets from Sasuke was almost certainly meant for Naruto. I say this for a few reasons.
Firstly, the show made absolutely no indication whatsoever that it was Sakuraās birthday, so for Sasuke to have sent her a congratulations letter for that purpose wouldnāt have made any sense.
Secondly, for him to have just ignored his best friend getting married and send a letter to Sakura without even mentioning anything for Naruto would have been very disrespectful.
Thirdly, who saysĀ ācongratulationsā for someone's birthday anyway? You sayĀ āhappy birthdayā, notĀ ācongratulationsā. People saying congratulations is to acknowledge and celebrate an achievement (like getting married), but someoneās birthday is not an achievement; Itās a natural and recurring event.
Regarding Sakura blushing, I was told a while ago that in Japan, couples traditionally send their wedding congratulations together, so Sasuke sending his wedding congratulations for Naruto to Sakura, gave the slight implication that they were a couple, giving Naruto their wedding congratulations together, and that explains Sakura's blush in the anime while she was reading the note.
And as for Yuri Lowenthal's Sasuke ASMR video, it was just a bit of SS fan service that he posted on Sasuke's birthday. It doesn't have any bearing or relevance to any canon material at all.
