I love your modern take on The Company! I love your reasoning and designs for Fili and Kili, your points make perfect sense! And while I love BOTH these Boys SO MUCH, I 'feel' Kili easier. I really have to THINK about how Fili would be feeling and why, his thoughts, and reasons for his reactions. And yes, Fili needs more screen time! Our Golden Sunray! And your Phylharmonic AU, and BOFUR - ! I love this 'verse so much! Thorin not realizing how he comes across, an it putting Bilbo all wrong-footed, and perennially chipper and helpful Bofur!
Firstly, Anon, I love hearing how different people connect with each character! It’s super fun, especially since I always found it easier to picture myself in Fili’s head! It might be because I’m an oldest sibling (only on one side, but that’s a hobbit-levels-of-complicated family tree to explain!), but coming up with motivations for Kili has actually been more challenging for me!
Secondly, the English language may have the largest vocabulary in the world, but I still cannot find the words to express how absolutely thrilled and grateful I am that you’re enjoying my silly little AU! It positively fills my heart to the brim to hear that you enjoy my modern designs and my characterizations, especially since I never really expected anyone to even see my Tolkien doodles!
Thank you so very, very much for your lovely words, Anon, and I hope you have a splendid new year! It is wonderful to hear other people’s thoughts on my work!
#i hope my response wasn’t too wordy#i can be a bit of a ranter!#froje’s ask box#the hobbit philharmonic au#a million times thank you once more!

if you’re thinking of writing anything w regulus black x reader 💓💞 like hc’s about what he would be like in a relationship (would he open doors for u, tie ur shoelace etc etc, restaurant dates) or where reader is all like enemies to lovers with him ?? thank u bby
—dating regulus black
pairing: regulus black x reader
summary: headcanons of being in a relationship with regulus black
warnings: none
authors note: did it a bit different than you asked, let me know if I should do a prequel or anything!!
reading your favourite book to him on the astronomy tower, while his head rests in your lap and you're combing through his hair
he's more of a listener, so when you're having dinner in the great hall, you engage in loud conversation, while he just sits and listen, holding your hand under the table
picnic dates where you swap previously read and annotated books and lay on a blanket all day reading them
brought you a record player from hogsmead, that he keeps in his dorm, so you can listen to your favourite songs while you're spending time with each other
he sometimes dances with you in the dark of the astronomy tower, the first time he had said that all the lessons he took had to be good for something at least
swapping love letters or just short little poems you read and wrote down that remind you of each other
regulus is a really thoughtful person, you sit next to him in class and he often brings you quills and paper, because you often forget them. he has always an extra set for you
you're always wearing one of his rings, at the same time he never takes of the little friendship bracelet you had made for him even before you started dating
you're the only one who's allowed to call him 'reggie'
on those evenings you can't sleep, or everything just gets too much, he stays awake with you and reads your favourite chapter of your favourite book, waiting until you eventually fall asleep in his arms
he often buries his head into your hair, because he loves the smell of it. you never stopped buying the same shampoo after you had noticed that
as stated before, he doesn't talk much around other people and he's not really a big fan of pda (he's more of an behind closed doors kinda boy and generally a very private person)
but what he does is say little phrases of encouragement, during school or just sometimes when he deems fitting. for example: "keep going, baby" or "you can do it, sweetheart"
he's used to you so much, that sometimes he just knows when you need time to cool off, so he keeps quiet and combs through your hair
he thinks its funny when you get mad about something someone else did, you're a big ranter. he just watches you, smiling, as you run around the room and utter different sentences in disbelief
occasionally when you do that, you will turn to him and ask him things like: "do you believe they've done that?" and he will answer: "that's really shitty of them, baby"
honestly, he doesn't even care about the others (obviously he does when anyone hurts you etc) but he could listen to you rant for hours
you go to every single one of his quidditch games, enjoying just watching him play
after the games, you often find yourself in the slytherin common room at the piano (just imagine they had one there) while he teaches you note for note how to play it right
every time regulus shows you how to do something (like dancing or playing the piano) he's very patient with you, never rushing or raising his voice when it takes you longer to figure something out
overall you have a super healthy relationship, because you’re honest with each other and talk a lot about your feelings. that wasn’t easy for regulus at first, but you grew up in a pretty loving and open household where you regularly discussed you’re feelings so you helped him learn how to do that. at least that way you could teach him something too.

I think you should coin TransArtCommentator, TransDeviantartRanter, and TransSlideshowCommentator just specifically to piss them off >:3
Transartcommentator
A term for individuals who feel as though they should be / should've been an art commentator.
Transdeviantartranter
A term for individuals who feel as though they should be / should've been a deviantart ranter.
Transslideshowcommentator
A term for individuals who feel as though they should be / should've been a slideshow commentator.

Anyone can use this (no DNI post), as long as it isn’t misused. Only repost with a link to this post as credit (only exclusions being archives).
Also, please tell us if someone has coined this before. We often don’t notice/know.

Hi, it's your friendly neighbourhood ranter again, this time with a rant about privacy. Again, probably lots of swearing coming.
This fandom is unlike any other I've been involved in through the years. I've been in various fandoms for multiple decades, and I have never seen this level of scary behaviour. Stalking seems to be second nature to a lot of members, and honestly, it's fucking disturbing.
Pedro is a fucking human being, not a prize fucking sheep you need to keep track of at all times.
The fact that people thought it was perfectly reasonable to follow him to Malta when he was filming Gladiator 2 was so fucking creepy. I know a couple of encounters were with fans who just happened to be there at the time, which is completely fucking reasonable. But booking a trip there after finding out he was there? Fucking bonkers, and super inappropriate.
I'm gonna be super fucking transparent here: I did look at airfares and hotels there, but also...I had $7 in my fucking bank account so it was legit just a bit of fun.
It's okay to imagine doing it, it's okay to idly (key word: idly) look into what it would take. It is not fucking okay to actually fucking do it.
Another fandom behaviour pattern that I've noticed in a few fandom spaces is that it's seemingly become completely fucking "normal" to hunt down the sources of selfies with Pedro, oftentimes these people have no fucking clue how intense this fandom really is. Sure, we wanna know what the interaction was like, but fuck me, can we just let the fan share what they fucking wanna share, rather than bombarding them with questions?
The way people vie to be "first" with new information regarding Pedro's location (and many other things tbh!) is like some super fucked up treasure hunt, where the reward is a dopamine hit.
It's fucking difficult to gently point out that these actions are inappropriate, and honestly tantamount to stalking (in my opinion, anyway) when the people in question double down and actually begin to use bullying tactics in what should be fandom safe spaces.
Additionally, I really want to emphasise that a lot of this activity is undertaken in heavily populated spaces, which may not necessarily be public per se, but when there's thousands of members of a "private" group, you might as well just take out a fucking Times Square advertisement.
What really fucking gets me though, is that the majority of us in the fandom do genuinely realise that he's a goddamn human who deserves to have his privacy respected just like the rest of us, but I worry that we're getting drowned out by the handful of people who don't fucking seem to understand or care that their behaviour is problematic.
If you read this post, and you share similar concerns, I strongly encourage you to speak up when you see that someone is crossing lines! You are not alone, I fucking guarantee that you'll find someone else within your fandom space who feels the same.
If this inappropriate, and downright creepy behaviour is left unchecked, I fear it will become socially acceptable within this fandom and others, and even turn into something legitimately dangerous for Pedro, his family, friends, and even fans.
Pull your fucking heads out.

Tw/context: mentions of harassment and bullying I went through a lot about a year ago because I told a story about an ex friend on Twitter. And it led to a huge drama for some reason. This post only scratches the surface and I don’t really want to open the can of worms again but I also want to be able to reflect and show my appreciation for you all. No I’m not traumatized by these events. Tbh these people are mostly just washed up leftovers DA ranter community. It’s sad because most of them have the potential to make good art but they mostly choose to try and make fun and “fix” or “redesign” other peoples work. No I won’t give out names. They don’t deserve your time nor are they popular enough to have any influence or be in the least bit dangerous.
tldr; love yourselves and never give up on trying to find that ride or die crack gremlin that’s with you no matter what.
Been over a year sense a bunch of people tried to gaslight me and steal my designs, call me a disgusting, racist, narcissistic, rapist, call me slurs, made fun of my art, hell even insist I can’t draw ass (for some reason????). But what’s great about having no other options for a career is you tend to thrive because you have nothing else to lose. I’m making a video game now, I have someone in my life who is absolutely ride or die for me. Even back then I don’t think I had someone quite like them. And I don’t think I’d be quite as productive without them. It’s crazy because I don’t think without all that I wouldn’t have met them. I hope you all continue to watch me thrive. I hope you all continue to watch me work. I’ll be opening a merch shop on Etsy soon and slowly transitioning some designs to my own oc’s I think. I don’t think I want my work to just be tied to Aphmau anymore. constantly having to account for the lore retcons is a pain and I’d rather just write my own magic system and lore. I’ll still make posts and designs for it because the brain rot consumes but I want to be able to make money. Because ive been pretty critical of Jess specifically on Tumblr I gotta feeling she wouldn’t work with me.

My Digital Circus/TADC Sona !!! it was so hard designing them LOL but I'm happy with the out come:3
here's a lil (a lot) more on her !
**🌙 Colme ⭐️**
☆ Trans neutral lesbian • they/she/he • 27yrs old • 5'5"
☆ Because they are always getting interrupted, they resort to charades. If that doesn't work and they need to get their point across quick, they either right on the floor/wall or if there's paper literally anywhere they'll use that
☆ IF they ever get the chance to talk, which is either when they are in a small group or if they NEED to say something real bad, it'll always be fast anf loud LOL even when they font need to be. It became a habit
☆ Her body is made out of wood so it kind of makes a click clack sound sometimes ^.^
☆ His control bar is usually high up, so if ur the same height or shorter it's probably impossible to get without help
☆ When they are sleeping it's on the floor so it's easier to grab at, but after a few incidents they now sleep on top of it
☆ If you cut any if the strings they literally will not be able to move and someone will have to carry her around before Caine fixes him
☆ They joked about hating French people alot before the digital circus and now they have a French accent LOL
☆ Regarding their personality, it's kind of hard to figure out? As they can leik ykno barely talk. But they are a bit of a ranty person, nitpicking small things when they get the chance to talk. Their body language is very exaggerated to get their point across also.
Other than being a ranter I would say they are /okay/ to hang around. May be funny to see them do charades n stuff LOL Maybe around people they RLLYYY like anf can trust to be in a 3 feet distance from them they're a bit more nice👍a bit snarky though

what do you do when you feel really sad?
Hi there Loveable Lion Anon! 🦁
First of all, I get the feeling you maybe sent this ask because you're feeling sad yourself? If so, I'm so sorry to hear that 😔
For your question, what do I do when I'm sad? Gonna put this under the cut so people can scroll by!
Warnings: Crying. Brief Mentions of Dying.
Firstly, Anon, this is just what I do and probably won't work for others. Sadness is hard to deal with and so personal. One person's coping methods are not a script for someone else. I can only reply with what I do!
Now usually I will be the first to admit I'm quite a cheery person so when I am sad it usually tends to hit me like a train.
I deffo have my cry. I've never been a yeller or a social media ranter or anything like that, but I do cry. I don't know if it's the air quotes best thing to do, and I would never tell anyone to do this, but I do. I have a sit down somewhere private (usually my bedroom) and just have a little therapeutic cry to compact and release the overwhelming feelings that come with something seriously bad happening.
But after that, when I'm on the comedown of releasing all that sad energy, I always think, "Is this a heart-stopping moment?" and the answer is always no.
I won't go into details. They aren't pleasant, and no one wants to read them. Still, basically, just over ten years ago, I had a "this is it, this is how I die" moment and not in a sarcastic going to die of embarrassment or someone exaggerating a hangover, but what I thought was the real deal.
So, whenever my logical thinking starts to kick back in after that first burst of crying, I travel back to that point, to my very lowest, to the point where I thought my mother was going to come in and find me dead, propped up in bed by pillows like a lifeless doll because my body had simply given up, nothing but a shell and, part of me knows it's a horrible thing to say, but, it puts whatever made me sad into perspective.
Even when my tears are still flowing, I can accept the realization that I'm okay, I'm still alive, and I will still be alive after it. I can handle whatever felt so overwhelming ten minutes ago.
(That might all sound a bit dramatic to someone just reading it, but yeah, that's what happens.)
The world isn't ending, so what do I do now?
I always want to do something about it. For example, a few months ago, I panicked that I was wasting my life, that I was achieving nothing, and that there was so much I wanted to do, but I was a complete failure because I wasn't doing any of it.
I cried, had my moment of clarity then googled around for some ideas on how to tackle. I now make a monthly calendar of all the stuff I want to dabble in (writing, digital drawing, hand drawing, reading, more exercise, my course etc) and I have it so every evening I will do one of those things. Sure, I won't be the next Picasso or Einstein or anything, but I'm doing something. Being both productive and getting a little joy in creating at the same time.
I also try to put a little goodness back into the world even if I'm really not feeling very happy at that moment.
I'll send a message into the girlie chat telling them how wonderful they all are. I'll tell my friends who are parents how adorable their children are. I'll leave a big tip the next time I go out to eat or if I see a cool musician playing on the street. I'll send some Tumblr asks just telling people they're awesome. I'll speed up my walking so I can hold a door open for someone struggling with a pram or a walker. Buy my parents some flowers or my boyfriend some ice cream. That kind of thing.
Because the only thing that would make me feel worse is if my crappy mood brought down someone else. Seeing other people happy helps make me feel better as well, you know?
It's also good to plan something, even a little something, to look forward to. A holiday, a meetup with friends, a day at the beach, an afternoon with nothing to do but sit in a coffee shop, even a lie-in—whatever makes you make a note in your calendar and think, "Can't wait!"
I honestly don't know if this is helpful or not 😂 Maybe some others would like to be brave and share what they do as well?
If I'm right, and you did send this because you're feeling sad, I hope things turn around, and you feel better soon!
Sending all the good vibes your way! ✨

(same anon as the "homophobic dolphins" ranter)
im glad that there are people as passionate as me about dismantling anti-dolphin propaganda as me lmao. i used to run a marine mammals account on twitter and one day i made a long informational thread about the whole "orcas attacking boats" situation after 3-4 straight hours of research. i quoted experts and listed all the sources and explained how it's not really some actual of anti-capitalist revenge or whatever the narrative was but that it was predominantly young/teenage orcas (from a very specific subgroup, in one specific area of the world) playing! i also talked about how over anthropomorphising these orcas and also spreading misinformation about the situation can be very harmful to these creature especially bc some of the effected sailors were threatening to start "taking care" of the situation themselves even though this is a very endangered group!!!!!! i spent so much time on the whole thing getting all my facts and putting it all in a concise thread. i thought it was very interesting and informative and could really teach more people about how interesting and complex orcas are.....and then i got a reply saying i "ruined their fun"....bc i shared the truth about the situation, which mind you was all completely available had people read the full articles and not just the headlines......it was just one comment but it just made me so maddddddd bc like? it just reminded me that some people refuse to learn or don't like to learn even when information is literally at their fingertips. it just pissed me off a lot for some reason ToT
anyway sorry for another long one this was basically an info dump tbh but yeah. live laugh love dolphins <3
Gosh! That would make me super annoyed too X( You spent so long gathering information and then this person gets mad when you... simply explained what is actually happening? I mean I get the jokes, they were funny, but you're just out here saying that the orcas are not actually aware of capitalism and rich humans existing and you're making an informative thread about the phenomenon, with fun facts! At least it was just one person claiming their fun was ruined, though I really do not see how someone telling the real facts about a situation is somehow ruining the bit when the bit was based on a very human interpretation anyway, hm. I'm glad you made a point about how misinformation and anthropomorphisation of the orcas could be dangerous to them!

Hehe, the sweet ranter is already back, because I missed you too and I really appreciate the hug!🥰
I've been a bit stressed lately because school started again and my teachers obviously hate free time, I have so much homework to do (I'm living in Germany and doing my "Abi(tur)", I don't really know what it's called in english or if there even is something like that in England... but here we must do this first so we can go to uni (i hate the school-system in Germany). Okay, I am rambling a bit again...).
I'm really happy, that you appreciate my silly little asks, so here I am with another update on "luck came (and died 'round here)" because I love this fanfic and I've finished the first half of my homework (the other half is for tomorrow) so I need a little treat. By the way I am learning Spanish at the moment and it is so much fun (I can say hello, ask how you are and all this basic things), but now back to my reading update!
Firstly, I really love the dynamic Barty and Lily have, they are just so funny while they are bickering. I really, really love it and giggle so much! 🤭
Secondly, the fact that Barty knows her whole schedule but he doesn't KNOW that he is literally stalking her... :')
Thirdly, the PRINCESS! Good lord Laurie, are you and Barty trying to kill me? IT'S SO CUTE!!🤭
And lastly, I love the Rosier Twins! They are my on top siblings (sorry Sirius and Regulus... I love you, but you are not as cool as Pandora and Evan).
Okay, this ask is already ridiculously long so I'm just going to say, that I love the story (like everything that you write!) and because it is the weekend I will read deep into the night (Yey!) and hopefully give you many updates!
Sending you many loving bites, kisses and hugs!
Much love! <3
HELLO AGAIN DARLING <333
it must be like a levels!! never done them bc i was still in spain back then (we also have an equivalent it's called bachillerato and then we do selectividad aka the actual exams to get into uni) so i absolutely get the stress.. unfortunately i've been there </3 wishing u the best of luck!! and hoping that ur teachers will relax a bit..
oh i loveee ur asks babe <3 very happy to hear my story feels like a lil treat to u !! and omg that's so cool!! spanish can be a hard language to learn but . i adore it (i'm very biased i know but it genuinely is so beautiful.. besides i'll never be as funny in english as i am in spanish </3)
I GIGGLE TOO their dynamic is everything to me, i've always loved the academic rivals trope so i'm glad i got to write it!! and it works so well with bartylily i think
HE'S SO OBSESSED WITH HER but he lacks a lot of self-awareness in that regard i'm afraid.. which makes the whole situation even funnier imo
the 'princess' thing is one of my fav parts in that story.. never been super fond of that pet name but i fucking love it in a bartylily context, whenever barty says it i lose my mind a little
omg i didn't expect u to mention the twins, they're unfortunately very in the background but i also love them very much. i've realised i enjoy writing them A Lot so it makes me very excited to see u appreciate them <333
you're so very sweet.. thank you so much darling, sending u kisses and hugs and my whole heart MWAH

Hi! It’s no worries I’ve been around this app long enough to know it’s kinda buggy lol. Anyways, I actually remembered just now I wrote out my request in a random google doc before I sent it and never deleted it so I have able to just copy/paste!
Congrats on 1.7k!! May I have a romantic hunger games (it can be either the original films or the newer one) option 2 match up please? I go by she/her and am bi with no preference, so any gender is fine.
I’m about 5’5, dark blue eyes, medium length hair thats kinda too dark to be dirty blonde but not so dark that its light brown with slightly lighter blonde highlights throughout. Ive been told I typically wear what would be considered 90s type of style but leaning away from more feminine things tho I’m not opposed to dresses and all.
I do get pretty anxious when thrown in certain situations rather that be talking to a group of people or just one person. But on occasion and definitely when I get to know someone I never stop talking. I am a ranter and rambler which means I could be ranting about something that happened and then start talking about something else that may or may not be related to the original subject. Basically I will always find something to talk about though I do enjoy listening to other people talk. I am considered the mom friend because I tend to be the most logical. Im also a very determined, stubborn person who usually is kinda pessimistic but still has a huge imagination. And despite all the anxiety I am usually a relatively confident person and am not afraid to take up for anyone I care about. Also I am pretty good in school despite having a kinda bad memory. Also an INTJ, Sagittarius, and Ravenclaw.
I absolutely love writing and have for the longest time rather that be random original stories I make up or the various fanfics I have(lol). I also love drawing and painting and recently realized I’m actually pretty good at making art related to animals and the occasional landscape. I’ve also been a big music fan since I was a kid, I honestly dont know what I would do without it. I also really enjoy reading when I get the chance, like I could spend hours getting consumed by whatever I’m reading. Which also travels into me when I’m watching things. As in I spend a good bit of time just binge watching new or old shows. I also really like walking around and enjoying nature. Theres a few nature trails I love going on and would go to the zoo every weekend if I had the chance. Which also goes along to my love for animals. Also I do like going to random places with my friends.
And thats about all I can think of to say, hope it wasnt too much lol. But anyways, thanks in advance :)
hi!
thanks for participating :)
since you have no gender preference, i’ll tell you who i ship you with out of both the boys and the girls, and then do the full thing for who i think you’re better suited for.
i ship you with katniss and peeta! i’m gonna go with katniss for this, hope that’s ok :)
katniss is absolutely not a people person. small talk makes her uncomfortable, and putting on a mask and playing a part doesn’t come easy to her. there’s a handful of people she’s comfortable talking to, and the rest don’t matter to her. she’d understand your apprehension getting to know people. but she’d feel pretty special when you opened up to her and started feeling comfortable venting and rambling. she may not be one for talking, but she does like listening. and you could listen to you talk for hours about whatever you wanted, happy to listen. you’re very alike as people. your values, your view on life, your temperament and your personality. you both being headstrong and stubborn could get in the way of your relationship sometimes, but you’d always manage to make her go soft around you. you’d be one of the few people that make her happy and help her feel relatively calm and safe, so she wouldn’t want to ruin that with petty arguments and bickering. you’d learn to work past it together quickly so you could get back to the simple things.
katniss doesn’t have much time for hobbies. plus, i don’t think she really allows herself the time to be idle. you’d have to constantly remind her to take a break and relax for a little while. she’d be too impatient for reading or art, but she’d enjoy hearing what you were reading about or working on. it would give her a sense of domesticity that she craved. and later on after the rebellion, she’d slowly start feeling more comfortable joining you with your hobbies and finding some of her own. i don’t think she considers herself to be a very talented person, but she would get a small sense of accomplishment and pride when she found a hobby she both enjoyed and was good at.
—
the place she’d most feel at peace would probably be the forest. walking along the streams, hunting for deer, just breathing in the fresh air. it would be a place she enjoyed going alone, but eventually, she’d start asking you to go with her. she’d show you all the best places she’d come to catch something or just clear her mind for a little while. it would be peaceful and quiet, which she’d love. one day, she’d ask you if you wanted to bring along something to draw with. she’d take you up to a ridge she liked to sit at, letting you sit down and draw the landscape while she hunted for a few minutes. eventually, she’d make her way back to you, sitting down next to you.
“no luck?” you’d ask when you noticed her coming back with a full quiver and no kill.
she’d shrug, setting down her bow. “found a few wild turkeys down by the river. some of the hens were nesting. i didn’t want to bother them yet.”
you’d nod, going back to your drawing. she hadn’t been gone that long, but you’d already made significant progress drawing the ridge and hillside that led down into the valley where the meadow was. you could feel her eyes on you as you worked, and you’d eventually feel her chin rest on your shoulder as you started drawing one of the trees, making you smile. you liked when she was soft like this.
“that’s pretty,” she’d murmur, fascinated by the way you worked. “peeta could’ve used you down at the bakery if he knew you could draw like this.”
“i wouldn’t want to upstage him,” you’d joke, knowing what peeta used to do took a lot of time and skill that only he could make look easy.
she’d chuckle, and you could feel her smile as she looked over your shoulder. “i don’t think he’d mind.”
you’d sit in silence another moment before deciding to take a break, setting your things down. you’d watch the ridge together, peering down through the valley where the spring flowers were just beginning to grow.
“you never told me we had flowers like this in the district.”
“they only grow in the spring,” she’d explain, resting her head against your shoulder. “my father told me the soot from the mines stifles them before they have a chance to grow. but out here in the meadow, they’re untouched. they can grow a few feet tall if they’re not harvested right away. you can use the roots for medicine…i used to bring prim some.”
you could hear the hurt in her voice at the mention of prim’s name. she’d grow quiet again, her eyes locked on the ridge. she was afraid if she looked over at you, she wouldn’t be able to keep it together. you figured it was best not to pry about it—not now, at least. instead, you’d pick up your drawing, handing her a few pencils.
“pick a few colors. i want to draw the flowers in too.”
she’d give you a small smile and nod, immediately reaching for the green pencil. you’d grin, setting the rest of the pencils down as you began working again.
“i should’ve known.”
—
thanks again for participating! i hope you liked this :)

zero escape preach sparked by the other ask and me wanting to interact with one of my favorite aa ranters/artists out there. what a perfect opportunity. anyways most fans would agree the writing gets weaker with each entry (some people think it peaked at the second game but imo the first is the strongest as a whole) but it is INSANE. it will mess with your head with all the bullshit it throws at you. the characters infodump entire wikipedia pages to each other. sudoku has never been more emotional. there is a Weird Girl that Does Things. the music is incredible. i doubt the characters were intended to be super deep but there was so much room for me to overthink some of them and rotate them in my mind for days. oh yeah you can rotate items in your inventory post-ds-release-aa-style it's very fun. the puzzles are as well although they get increasingly more infuriating. funyarinpa. uhh some fictional religion mixed in that you might have fun comparing to irl?? i don't know enough about any to make a valid statement on that tbh. did i mention the weird girl
all in all i think zero escape would be a 50/50 for you and you might like it more for the subtext than what the story presents itself as. except when the mindfucks happen maybe.
on that note i'd love to pitch in uchikoshi's other franchise, ai: the somnium files. but that's for another day
also i think you would really like bsd
i adore your posts omg...... i already said you're one of my favorite creators but i can't stress that fact enough...... from opening my mind to thoughts i'd never have to fueling my kristoph and dahlia obsession..... your thoughts are so worth dissecting and putting them out there. i am shit at compliments. tell me where i can find umineko.
god. i do love sudoku a lot....anon, this is pretty good advertising, noted!!! maybe i will play it someday and judge the hell out of it, but also probably enjoy some parts. who knows, maybe my pretentious ass will even like it.
and hey! i actually had a huge bsd phase at ages 14-16! i don't particular enjoy it now, though, i guess it feels unnecessary to me now. i am growing a little tired of the standard portrayals of abuse cycles and finding yourself. fiction needs to get a little more extraordinary for me at this point, or a bit more high-brow, i guess.
and thank you so much??? for the compliments??? it's insane to me how i can be one of someone's favorites here. not in a self-hating way, tumblr has actually made me think of myself as the coolest guy alive, it's just very unexpected every time.
i played umineko using a torrent file my friend sent me, so i could email you that if you come out of the shadows and turn out to be over or exactly my age, as i am uncomfortable recommending it to a younger audience due to the everything in it. i guess it's on steam as well, but the sprites there suck so bad and i don't recommend it at all.

I'm still bothered by the Drinker recommending Arcane. A little peeved but checking out his recs, it has some great stuff. Dredd and Event Horizon he gives his recommendation and approval.
Don't know why I should take his word for it cause I did try his other recs and they weren't doing it for me so yeah.
Guess I shouldn't really put my trust in people like him.
But I also ask? Why do I like Gigguk's recommendations and not The Critical Drinker's?
Well, for starters, Gigguk is anime and I like anime so I get where he's coming from. The Drinker doesn't really have much for me aside from the anti-woke ranting every now and then.
Gigguk breaks it down when he recommends something with a tad of memes thrown in the mix and it makes for an enjoyable viewing experience.
The Critical Drinker just makes some quips and, to be honest, a tad obnoxious use of some memes and sound effects, especially "The Message" in his vids. That isn't really something I particularly enjoy.
And when I do say this out loud, it would be considered as trolling or something and that really isn't what I'm trying to do.
And then they would say vile stuff to me and I have seen some shit and read some crap that would even destroy people like me and I really fear that.
Gigguk steers clear of controversy as much as he can and he does poke jabs at woke culture like cancel culture and Twitter ranters but that's about it and that's how much I can stomach.
The Critical Drinker comes off as too strong and when I can't stomach it, I'll be considered a wimp and that's not fun. Even fucking 4chan is not that toxic, the movie and tv boards I mean.
Politically Incorrect and R9k and random is a given sure but you expect that from there. I just want the Drinker to present why the movie is shit instead of calling it woke and using surface level literary stuff that's probably not up to snuff with a Tumblr post.
Dumbsville, an equally anti-woke dude is leagues better than The Drinker in reviewing. He likes Arcane, okay, but I want to fucking reject Arcane because of that now cause I feel like he tainted it with his "approval".
I am so fucking glad, Gigguk convinced me to watch it first before that esteemed gentleman whom I have been referring to as The Critical Drinker had the chance to taint it for me. And have you seen his review, dude doesn't know the difference between an MMORPG and an FPS. Gigguk's review of Arcane is superior for the sole reason that he gets the culture and the memes.
I found the Drinker back in the day cause of my anti-woke attitude and I still have an anti-woke attitude, just that I've mellowed out. I will admit though that his video on what is woke is one of the best videos on the topic to date and for that reason I will salute him but aside from that, I'm not a fan of him.
Although his podcast interviews are not too bad, he seems chill when he's not unhinged.
So if you guys like the type of content where it's Sargon of Akkad but for movies, TV, Pop culture and Western culture war with a side of snarkiness that's too much for my sensible sensibilities, then The Drinker is for you. I recommend starting with his Why Modern Movies Suck series. A good start.
Then Gigguk for the animes. And I have a lot to say about some anitubers but that's for another post here.
If you're confused as to where I stand with the Drinker, I'm in the middle of the fence that leans into the dislike team more. Like my feet is on the dislike team's side of the fence but I also hear the like and revere side and I understand some of what they're saying but not really getting into it, y'know? If it weren't for The Drinker making that one video defining woke, which I have been looking for years and where he was not a tad bit unhinged, I would've hated the guy and my past self for even liking his videos and his talking points.
I guess I just need someone to break down the woke movies of the modern day in a not so strong way. Dumbsville and Filmento come to mind. And they're a much more interesting watch than The Drinker is for the modern me.
I just can't help but think as to what the anti-woke internet would say about my opinion. Would they cancel me?
Would they label me a troll?
Would they see me as a threat that deserves termination?
Will they bully me?
Will they harass me?
Will they kick me out of their groups and circles?
So many questions that all hinges on what other people would think of me. They say to try to listen to your side but I tried that before and tries their recommendations and that just didn't do it for me. I have bad taste according to someone online but my brother also says that to me and I think I'm okay.
I just have to consume more media before I get the urge to move to more thought-provoking media.
I want to keep talking here but I should stop now. Let me check. Okay, checked. Not long enough.
So about my anti-woke past, I started my internet journey on Pinterest and then Tumblr and then Facebook before I was introduced to 4chan and Reddit.
I was seeing these posts on Pinterest about gay stuff and trans pride and all that without knowing what it all was but I do remember my reaction to it, it was confusion and a bit of not too fond of what it was.
I still had a very favorable view of Pinterest as a whole of course. Then I went to Tumblr where the porn was still all the rage back then. Loved the things I discovered there. Didn't really had the capacity of higher thought to make posts like this back then. I was just existing and that's okay.
So I was not aware of what anti-woke was or what Gamergate was or why it was happening but I know that there are some things I dislike in Pinterest that I wanted to say something about and Reddit and 4chan came to me. Introduced to me by a friend, these two were my go to back in 2018 to 2019. I was also starting to develop an anti-woke sentiment based on the things I see. I already had a dislike of strong stuff so things that sound like The Critical Drinker I steered clear off.
I discovered KotakuInAction (Gamergate), TumblrinAction (Anti-Tumblr but quite nuanced) and SocialJusticeinAction (unhinged but less interesting brother) and I enjoyed and lapped up all the things they said. How gays are ruining media (one can argue that it is true, new characters are more favorable than rewrites and I have a lot to say about rewrites) and how the ESG focused companies are bowing down to the woke mob (which I pretty much agree, I have the idea that if the people crying doesn't know what the thing they're trying to change is then they're not worth jack and is best to be ignored or provide a polite reply that says no).
I started with the news article reviewing sites like Mr. Obvious or No Bullshit. Obvious was better and he had this humor I liked. He was just repetitive and that really wasn't doing it for me then I started looking into anti-woke media analysis cause I always saw woke media analysis like that one Meduse and Athena are feminists and such (Yas, beotch slay!!!!; sorry I had to).
So I found the Drinker through that. He was still under a million subs and stuff but he scratched an itch.
Then the pandemic happened and the lockdowns, I got to thinking about things and I realized that being anti-woke isn't all that. How? I tried their recommendations and I wasn't really feeling them.
I tried the ones they dislike or the ones I know they will dislike and I got to enjoy those.
I still remember reading my first true LGBT webtoon called Acception and it still is my standard for LGBT media.
I had some things to go through during those years and I guess the strong opined individual is something I'm not very fond of developed greatly during that time.
I know I'm weak and I want to understand how to get better. I've been trying ever since.
I know that I went kinda off topic but hmmmm.
That's all from me for now. Go away now.

REPUTATION. tell me a little bit about yourself and i will ship you with one of the characters i write for.
Hi! Congrats on 3k! May I have a one of these? I go by she/her. I get pretty anxious when thrown in certain situations rather that be talking to a group of people or just one person. But when I get to know someone I never stop talking. I am a ranter and rambler which means I could be ranting about something that happened and then start talking about something else that may or may not be related to the original subject. Though I do enjoy listening to other people talk. I am considered the mom friend because I tend to be the most logical. I'm also a very determined, stubborn person who usually is kinda pessimistic but still has a huge imagination. And despite all the anxiety I am usually a relatively confident person and am not afraid to take up for anyone I care about. Also I am pretty good in school despite having a kinda bad memory. Also an INTJ and Sagittarius.
I absolutely love writing, art, music, reading, and watching various shows/movies. I also really like walking around and enjoying nature. There's a few nature trails I love going on and would go to the zoo every weekend if I had the chance. Which also goes along to my love for animals. Also I do like going to random places with my friends.
And that's about all I can think of to say. Anyways, thanks in advance :)
i ship you with peter parker because i really think you could match his energy. and he’s just a baby, i’m totally sure he would just listen attentively to everything you have to say. i also think you’d have a lot in common and your dates would involve going to art museums or just staying at home watching movies.

Teen Wolf Rewatch: Season 1, Episode 1—“Wolf Moon”
All right, party people, please prepare yourself for my morally grey and overly cynical rewatch of a show I both love and hate more than anything. Also, I’m a rambler and a ranter, so this is gonna be long, no doubt.
Also, fair warning, I am not a fan of Scott McCall, so if you’re a proud card-holding member of the Scott McCall Defense Squad (dumb name btw), I recommend that you keep on scrolling because you do not want to engage in discourse with me. I am a petty little bitch and absolutely will argue with you for the sake of arguing. Ya’ll get hilariously upset about people’s dislike of him, and it gives me great joy to see the absolutely pathetic length’s you’ll go to in order to protect this piece of shit ass character.
I know he can’t help it, but I could not stop staring at DOB’s stress herpes that appears intermittently throughout this episode. Like, you can almost track what order scenes were filmed in based on the size of the middle of his top lip. Poor baby was absolutely pressed on his first real acting gig, and his body was absolutely responding to it.
As someone who is from Northern California and has spent time in our wooded areas and forests, it is laughable to me how much these Georgia woods could not be mistaken for California forests in a police lineup. Like, I know they had to make do with what they had, but holy fuck, the foliage in these two states aren’t even fucking close, my dude.
I always love that Scott has a guitar in his room throughout the entirety of the show, but we never once find out whether or not this fool can actually play. Like, it’s literal set dressing, and it’s even more hilarious when you consider that Tyler Posey actually can and does play the guitar. They could have given Scott a cool little skill if they wanted, but they were like “eh, he does lacrosse, that’s enough character traits for Scott”.
Maybe Scott had a fucking asthma attack while looking for the body because he wouldn’t just shut the fuck up and stop complaining about the thing he wasn’t forced to do. Jesus christ, Scott, shut the fuck up. We get it. You don’t wanna be here. But then, like, why did you go?
I also love that they wanted us to believe that Scott was that severely asthmatic at the beginning, but they start the show by showing him putting on a pretty impressive pull-up show and having a pretty nice body before being bitten, like ???
I love the Sheriff shining a flashlight through the sparse trees in the woods like you can’t see everything out there. You could run blindfolded through these trees and not hit a single fucking thing because everything is so damn far apart.
On a related note to the point above, where the fuck did these deer just appear from?? They literally just come from some sort of liminal space that exists behind the trees. Is there a platform nine and three-quarters situation happening in the trees of Beacon Hills?
All of the dead bodies and crime scenes in this show are so clean, my god.
I would have beat the fucking freckles off of Jackson Whittemore for how he treats people, stg. Little fucking punk-ass rich could. Ugh.
I kind of vaguely recall that the reason BHHS is all about lacrosse is that Jeff Davis was trying way too hard to be different, but like…what fucking Northern California public high school is this meant to represent? I’m not saying that it doesn’t or can’t possibly exist, but I would say that the overwhelmingly popular sports in our area are still your basic ass football, baseball, and basketball. In these parts, that’s a rich kid sport. Some public schools have lacrosse teams, but they tend to be even less popular than soccer teams out this way.
So, I love Lydia (or, more so, I love what fans have postulated about her and built her up to be in fandom because she actually kinda sucks as a character with real dimension in the show), but like…she is the worst version of a popular hot chick ever. Lydia Martin is a straight-up bitch in the first season of this show. Like…what a shallow little cunty bitch.
Will continue in a reblog because apparently this has gone on too long and Tumblr likes to tell me what to do.
#thoughts#my thoughts#a rant#teen wolf#tws01e01 wolf moon#i swear i like this show guys#i just have a lot of thoughts feelings and opinions#scott mccall#jackson whittemore#lydia martin#allison argent#stiles stilinski#derek hale

Hi! Congrats on 8.5k! May I have a ship for Tvdu and the Mcu? I go by she/her and am bi with no preference so any gender is fine.
I've been told I typically wear what would be considered 90s type of style but leaning away from more feminine things though I’m not opposed to dresses and all. I do get pretty anxious when thrown in certain situations rather that be talking to a group of people or just one person. But when I get to know someone I never stop talking. I am a ranter and rambler which means I could be ranting about something that happened and then start talking about something else that may or may not be related to the original subject. I will always find something to talk about though I do enjoy listening to other people talk. I am considered the mom friend because I tend to be the most logical. I'm also a very determined, stubborn person who usually is kinda pessimistic but still has a huge imagination. And despite all the anxiety I am usually a relatively confident person and am not afraid to take up for anyone I care about. Also I am pretty good in school despite having a kinda bad memory.
I love writing, drawing, painting, music, and reading. I also spend a good bit of time just binge watching new or old shows. I also really like walking around and enjoying nature. There's a few nature trails I love going on and would go to the zoo every weekend if I had the chance. Which also goes along to my love for animals. Also I do like going to random places with my friends.
Hope it wasn't too much lol. But anyways, thanks in advance :)
Thank you~ I hope you like them :)
TVDU:
Might be unexpected, but I ship you with Enzo.
Enzo is very charming, and is very loyal and loving to whoever his partner is. He is flirty even when you are in a relationship.
He adores when you ramble and rant about anything, just enjoying the various emotions and passion that cross your face as you are talking.
He doesn't mind spending time with just you, doing casual or fun things. He is open to going to new places, going on walks, drives, road-trips, and even to the zoo! He just wants you to be happy and enjoys whatever he does as long as it is with you.
Enzo doesn't often tell people about his past, but he is comfortable with you to the point he is comfortable doing so. Yo always listen to him carefully and enjoy hearing all about the world he lived in before you.
Runner Up Ship: Stefan (but I also kind of ship you with Bonnie too)
-------
MCU:
I ship you with Wanda.
Wanda would be very comfortable around you, and would feel seen, heard and accepted. She adores your personality and always wants to protect you as you are one of the most important things to her.
You two can talk about anything for hours and it feels like no time has passed. She enjoys watching you paint/draw and if you throw something out that you weren't proud of, she takes it out of the trash and stores it in a box of all the other things you created and didn't want (She can't imagine throwing them away)
Watching tv/movies at night with blankets and food? Her favorite time to spend with you.
She loves animals as well so she loves going to zoos, aquariums, petting-zoos, etc. And she enjoys walks with you as well.
Runner Up Ship: Scott Lang
xx
