uuhhh in other new that lmk s5 trailer dropped and people are very

mixed

for context the new season is being partly animated by wildbrain i think. flying bark is still working on the show but probably due to all the other projects they've been working on like the atla movie the animation is off.

its understandable that people are upset. lmk has some of the most consistently dynamic and lively animation ive ever seen, and going from that to ok animation kinda sucks. as a culmination of a lot of what the series has been building up to people were inevitably going to be disappointed

at the same time people shouldnt harass animators. like ever. no amount of trying to petition or anything will change the s5, people are just trying to do their job and theres no probably no major changing to the finished product by now. and theres still a lot of that lmk charm in there, and we haven't even seen the whole season yet to judge it. flying bark is still working on it, and even if the animation never reaches the peak of the old seasons it still has the same writers so at least the writing has the chance to live up old standards. idk though we'll just have to wait and see

[xoxo-ren-xoxo]

it's controversial to say this i guess but i genuinely believe last life was the least interesting life series season and youre all lying to me about enjoying it

ok see when i say luz and hunter are siblings i don't just mean like they hang out and make fun of each other sometimes. i also dont just mean they have parent-child connections with the same adults making them "found family siblings technically" or however people describe it. they can do that sometimes but what i mean is that they are blood brothers (east asian concept)

ALYSSA WONG SPIRIT WORLD IS SO GOOD OMG

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

one of my batfam hot takes is that alfred having a very kind and understanding grandfather-like role is a boring spin on the character and lacks a lot of nuance around his backstory.

like he is a classically trained british butler which means he very likely comes from a working class family. and like, as a working class brit myself, i sometimes find the kindly, well-mannered grandfather thing grating because, a lot of white, working class men his age are unfortunately not nice people. some of them are like my great grandad was a really great guy, but hes really the only one i know who is or was not awful.

because their generation werent as exactly raised with ideals about mental health and emotional regulation. a lot of them were traumatised due to ww2 either because they saw it firsthand when they were like 15, they were old enough to remember things like rationing and the blitz, and a lot of them lost their dads in the war.

i dont expect american writers to understand how much ww2 affected britain (modern britain is still so steeped in it, its insane) and that generation specifically, BUT id love to see that explored more with alfred. like depending on where he grew up, he would likely have been separated from his family during the blitz and sent off to the countryside like most of the kids in cities were, (this is how narnia starts) and like, a lot of them were horrifically abused or used as free labour. a lot of them also lost parents and never got to say goodbye to them. many came back to destroyed homes. some kids also remained in the city or their parents requested them back so theyd experience the blitz first hand and would know the sign of air raid siren meant they might die that night.

you can see how a lot of that generation were permanently scarred. and for a few decades now, alfred would have been part of that generation.

plus he was also a secret service officer which is just like more opportunities to be traumatised and more reason for him to not be this gentle old man whos in touch with his emotions.

and like, as a classically trained butler, he would likely be more reserved because you know, thats how he was trained. also british men that age would also likely be very hands off in regards to emotions.

but the biggest reason as to why the gentle, kind grandfather take doesnt really make sense is that he raised bruce wayne.

like bruce has a whole slew of emotional issues and problems, and obviously some of that is going to come from alfred raising him because you know, thats kinda how that works. i know a lot of batfam folks want bruce to be this great dad, so i guess their take on alfred fits that, but canonically, bruce wayne is an emotional mess and not the best father figure at the best of times.

you cannot look at that bruce wayne and tell me alfred did a good job.

listen, this shouldn't even be a hot take. it's just an opinion that differs from the most popular interpretation of Alfred as an endlessly giving grandmotherly old man.

the thing about Alfred is that more than anything you have to recognize that he's an enabler. and I love the man to pieces, but at absolute best he was extremely negligent in Bruce's upbringing, if not actively encouraging the world's worst coping mechanisms.

I hate to give Gotham credit for anything, especially when it comes to Alfred since I hate their Alfred, but the show was bang on in its insistence from day one that Alfred should not have been Bruce's primary guardian. it's painful to watch how often Alfred encourages Bruce to tough it out and suck it up, and it never really stops. in one of the latter seasons (four, I think) he hits Bruce hard enough to give him a black eye during an argument, and this is ultimately written as a situation in which Bruce needs to apologize to Alfred for being a bratty teenager, rather than Alfred owing Bruce an apology for hitting him when he's a grief-stricken teenage boy cracking under stress.

and like, listen, I understand there are Watsonian and Doylist layers to this. Alfred fundamentally can't have been a good enough guardian to stop Bruce from channeling his trauma into fursuit vigilantism, because then there's no story. I get it.

but jesus christ.

I don't think characterizations of Alfred as a stoic caregiver are wrong, but I do think people don't want to think about how he got there. when I see the aged Alfred patching up Bruce's wounds and nagging him to eat, or doing his best to offer advice to the kids who have gotten mixed up in Bruce's crusade, I see a man who realized a long time ago that he dropped the fucking ball and has dedicated his life to doing as much damage control as possible. okay, so, completely failed step one (raise a well-adjusted child). can we at least make sure that this basket case adult man doesn't go completely over the edge? can we make sure he doesn't become a killer? can we encourage him to take off the mask and be Bruce Wayne sometimes? can we keep the children safe?

I do think Alfred loves all of them, for whatever its worth. his care for Bruce is real, that is his son, the Batgirls and Robins are his extended family. he'll cook their uneaten meals and clean the entire, massive house himself and stitch them up every night forever. he would die for them. hell, he'd kill for them. he loves them. but none of that means he raised Bruce right.

that's kind of the thing I like most about the Bats: they all care so, so much. but the way they love is terrible.

[spookypartycrit]

I think its really weird that sophist (and the others) didnt appreciate the FNF mod(s) that much. Especially considering they seemed to really enjoy that one rap that got made for them (at least from my POV, dk if thats how you read it).

I also know that Nick and Vernias watched a lot of the fan animations of them and appreciated them enough to make a video on them (yeah Nick was talking about not wanting to be drawn as Piplup and theres also grievances there, but he generally seemed to like it)

Don’t know how much of that opinion is just me looking at it through a rose tinted lens or if they actually really did appreciate it, but I’d love to hear more of your thoughts because I genuinely never read it as being unappreciative of their fans (again, potential rose tinted glasses moment here)

Sorry i didnt respond right away wanted to get to my laptop, this is gonna be long

When i say “they” i mean nick, brent and sophist. Vernias is the exception as always.

This is why i think they have a hard time with the fnf mods and aus in general.

Tldr: they appreciate the fact they have fans. But don't tend to see the bigger picture of fanworks and the effort and love their fans have for them. Mix of expecting a hungrybox type audience, unfamiliarity of fan culture and being shit at masking.

More details under the cut. Warning pretty long

We have to remember that these guys were expecting a smash bros audience. Teenager boys. think pointcrows audience, wolfevgc, or hungry box. Or as i like to say when im angry. Kai cenat’s.

These fanbases while good in their own way. Are not artist focused, aren't au focused. Find me a smallant au, you can't atleast not a popular one. No hate if there is any. These fanbases don't get fnf mods unless its a joke. Don't get their personas drawn more than twice a month or on special occasions. Not that their aren't artists in those fandoms their just drowned out by , jokes, discussions threads, and whatever else kai cenat fans do. pc wanted tyler1 fanbse and got tommyinnits instead.

They also just aren't fandom people. They like shit but they don't consume aus, or stories. So frankly they probably think its bizarre. People liking them so much they wanna make their own content about them, remixing their interests, jokes and personas into a mod. Is just not something they would think to do for someone they looked up to.

They liked the rap, because its music its not hard to understand why you would make a fan song about a group of people you like. Think any legend of zelda fan song something they are more likely to experience before. Plus its a banging song. And even then im annoyed they never brought that shit up again, I'd have a song about me blasting as my outro.

The fnf mod is, a game they didn't really like. A mod they never expected to get and personas their not very attached too. Twas a recipe for disaster.

Imagine If you gave me a hamburger in the shape of my face. I don’t like hamburgers. I don't wanna eat it, and lowky i wouldn't care. But because you put time and effort and are a nice person i would compliment the skill it musta took to pull something like that off and Appreciate someone cared about me enough to carve this burger. Even if id throw it away the second they werent looking.

I don't think its a problem of a appreciation,i think they genuinely love their fans in their own way. They just don't get all this fandom shit, and their all just shit at masking.

Starting easy. Brent cant mask to save his life, its why he goes silent instead of commentary, he likes what he likes and nothing else. Brent isent that into his own persona and the fandoms interpretation of it, not to say he doesn't like fanart or what his fans do, its just a more “thats cool” and not a inch more.

The fact that when his persona came on screen and he didn't say shit and had to be prompted to actually talk about it. And the best he could come up with is “i like pirates…i guess” turning brent into king k rool is cool as shit. If you understand his history, but brent doesn't see the appeal so he just doesn't really care. Im sure if prompted he could go into detail on how hard making a fnf mod must have been, he is very good at sincerity when he’s interested in whatever hes talking about. But fanworks? Just don't interest him and he cant pretend it does very well.

Nick is really odd when it comes to his self image, im bout to make a post about it, so while he appreciates his fans and makes alot of effort for them, he tends to get really semantic when it comes to fanworks, cause hes got a thing of being portrayed in the best light he can. In the first video he repeatedly kept complaining daisy wasn't in the background of his and you could nearly Hear the annoyance when he noticed the cape. He tries to be as supportive as he can but he gets so fixated on details and is shit at being tactful about it, you can literally hear in his voice when hes fake smiling. Rewatch the joke song portion from fnf video one youll see what i mean.

Sophist irony poisioned persona mixed with low self esteem and a low capacity of fucks to give is why he tends to be so shit at this. He makes content, gives his fans a persona and lets them do whatever they want. Its occurring to me after seeing that He just tends to see himself as entertainment. so a fnf mod [espically how joked those tend to be] about his persona meant to be a big appreciation letter. probably doesn't mean much to him. Not cause he doesn't ungrateful he just probably doesn't see a use in honoring him to begin with. But you can’t keep a career off pushing away all your fans who give a fuck about you, the irony has to break sometime, thats why i think he tried harder this video, tried to find a fuck to give.

One thing i will state is despite them being not the best at fanworks they also don't ask for them, and what i mean is. If they asked for a mod to be made and then acted like they did i wouldn't have stopped at just a few posts, you still would be hearing about it. Frankly main would be hearing about it Doesn't meant they should be lazy about it. Fanworks keeps a fandom like thiers around, new art finds new eyes who find their content. Fanworks also keep your audience from getting bored while you do other things.

Their getting better. Atleast at masking and we gotta take little victories fan creatives keep up the good work.

Can i req a fic with Yuri? Any scenario you want :)

𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒 — yuri

genre: angst

cw: gn!reader

notes: leave more requests guys !

you acted like you never noticed yuri staring at you from afar, but you most definitely did. It honestly was surprising. you never were really that popular, so youd never expect anyone to be so focused on you.

it was only a few days since a girl named nanno transferred to the school before another girl named yuri had transferred aswell. two new students in the same month really made them the talk of the school.

before you even said a word to nanno, yuri had always been sneaking glances at you. she never came up to talk to you, though.

it became worse when you started to hang around nanno. yuri wouldnt stop staring. even when you looked directly at her, she never looked away. infact, she smiled.

you didnt really care when she had suddenly gained her staring problem at first, but you started to get a little creeped out when her stares turned into glares. she would even stare at you more intensely whenever you were near nanno.

you guessed that the two girls didnt like eachother, but you werent really sure why. it wasnt even actually your business anyway, so you never asked nanno about it. you just chose to ignore it and hoped the dirty looks would stop.

one day at lunch, you were sitting alone and nanno was nowhere to be found. she was in all the classes earlier, so you wondered why she had disappeared.

“nannos not who you think she is.”

you looked up at the person speaking to you, realizing it was yuri. “oh, hey yuri.” you furrowed your eyebrows. “what do you mean by that?”

yuri smiled. “ive known her way longer than you. shes not a good person. at all.”

“uhm.. alright, thanks for letting me know…” you were confused. the first time yuri talked to you, it was to say that? you knew yuri didnt like the girl but you didnt think she would try and get rid of her friendships too.

you soon realized that it was the perfect opportunity to ask her about her not so subtle staring. “hey.. may i ask why you always stare at me?”

yuri wasnt surprised you asked that. she actually expected it. “oh, well i just wanted to be friends with you?”

you noticed how yuris voice sounded unsure, what you didnt notice is the reason for it. yuri was very unsure of her feeling towards you. she knew she felt jealousy whenever she saw you with nanno, but she also didnt exactly understand the reason for it.

she also definitely didnt want to take the time to evaluate her feelings fully either, becaude then that would mean she needs to face what she felt about you. she was confused and she didnt want it clarified.

she was worried that if she did get clarity on all these emotions she feels for you, she would get the answer of love. the one thing she didnt need right now.

not knowing about any of yuris ulterior feeling, yiur face lit up as you nodded. “i would love to be your friend!” you pushed the bad feeling you got to the back of your mind and ignored the feeling of unease you got whenever yuri had stared at you before. atleast you got a new friend!

friend.

yuri knew thats not all she wanted to be, but its what she settled for. she cant handle love, and she wasnt sure when she would be able to.

why insest

hi anon!! i feel like u are assuming i seek out incest, rightfully so, i run a blog about an incest ship, but i actually dont gravitate towards it much... or at all.

so some context about my bg with incest shipping, just for you, anon. Wincest is the first incest ship ive actually liked from th many medias ive consumed that have had many a popular incest ship that i dont care about/actively ignore rhe presence of.

so why wincest? well. they so special... their relationship bleeds into every fiber of supernatural and it's hard to analyze the show without agknowledging the undertones, and accepting them. id say its less about the incest of it all and more about the relationship between sam and dean but that would be bullshit because it really wouldn be the same if they werent brothers. i guess they just clung onto my brain.

(honestly im way more into other weird shit. like priests. and cannibalism. thats stuff ive always been into. with this blog and fixation the ship just happens to be brothers.)

also the incest kinda deepens sam and dean's relationship. im into that

[arsynnotarson]

ive noticed that fandoms go by. fast. faster than before

i havent seen this as often as others within fandom, but i have noticed it a few times (cough cough tiktok)

i cant really recall when a fandom lasted longer than 5 weeks after the antis came, especially on tiktok. it gets overshadowed by other, new medias, before people could even digest what the previous anime or game was about. previous media would become scattered and rare.

what i see it as, personally, is that antis wont let people enjoy the media without a strict rule list. star wars is as popular as everything holy, because antis didnt really exist, or werent as popular as now. people werent harassing others over shipping reylo, so the fandom could flourish for as long as it has.

i personally dont know much about star wars or its fandom, but the first film came out in 1977 to my knowledge. it is 2023. you can go to any walmart and see merch for it if you really wanted to. along with, i cant recall how long danganronpa lasted in the public eye on tiktok, but it was the majority of 2020. the proship mentality was common sense. then antis flooded in from hell, i guess, and it diminished so quick.

dont get me wrong, im grateful for all the new medias, but can i see a media i like trend for longer than 5 days on sites other than tumblr? p.s. tumblr artists i love you

basically: rules put on fiction = less fiction published = less people who enjoy the media because of those rules = less people who write for it = people who dont get to find the media because of the lack of content for it = no fandom

An overly detailed analysis of the scp foundations adopted son, the backrooms

Due to the fact that I have no control over my interests, ive decided that im gonna post cringe and start writing a minimum 100 word (50 for subrooms) review of every single backrooms level (or at least as many as I can get through before the hyperfixation burns out). And before we can actually get to the meat and potatoes, we gonna discuss the universal quality cap contained within the very premise of the modern backrooms (more under the cut)

The history of backrooms is like, pretty simple, and actually kind of similar to how scp started. Some guy posted an imagine with the caption:

"If your not careful and noclip out if reality in wrong areas, you'll end up in the backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, and endless backround noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hindered million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you"

The concept very quickly caught on, because even retrospectively, the concept is really good, and then people started to write about. And at this point, it varies very, very heavily from scp. Because scp-173s whole premise doesnt crumble like a sandcastle upon any elaboration.

Ill blaze through this part simply because its by far the most common criticism of the backrooms and im not getting ad revenue from puffing up a video about it. You cant add entities or other humans because the vagueness of the final line and also ruins the isolation inherent to the original passage. You cant add more levels because that gives the person somewhere to go and makes the person less trapped, you cant make your levels death traps because thats just not scary, and you sure as hell cant make them safe because that removes the looming threat of death (this last point also applies to lucky o' milk and almond water). But personally, I dont think that talking about this helps the writers, or even gives us a better feel for what these writers are doing wrong, so instead im gonna focus on the main problem with the backrooms

The writing style is contradictory with the material presented

Since the backrooms popularity boom happened congruently with the one for liminal spaces (which ill just use interchangably with "eerily empty nostalgic space, even though the original definition just describes one thats transitional) even the most recent levels try to invoke this sort of setting. This within itself, is great. Theres a lot of room for very personal, intimate horror, especially when combined with isolation. Guess what they tried to do with it?

They jacked scps writing style, which for those not in the know, is intentionally written from a dry, neutral voice. To describe a setting meant to invoke one of the most personal emotions one can have.

Beyond this, articles, as evidenced by their often dubious writing quality, are written by teens who are far too young to have experienced that kind of nostalgia, so a lot of the articles end up not being able to fully capture the feeling, even if they werent written like a courtroom report.

To summarize, the premise is just kind of limiting within itself, even detached from any disloyalty to the original premise of the backrooms.

anyhow Im releasing the first review tomorrow

[sunshine-in-a-bottle]

Okay pls tell me how rivals would be amzing for mass effect AU

(Mass Effect was the first game i ever cried about (happy tears though))

OK OK OK OK LISTEN TO ME LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN I HAVE A WHOLE THING ABOUT THIS I HAVE HALF WRITTEN FANFICTION AND VAGUE STORY IDEAS AND HAVE REDOWNLOADED MASS EFFECT SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS

ok so first of all listen to me Commander Shepard is Techno. Listen to me he was Earthborn, fighting in the pits of his city, and then he became a Hero and he's the very best at what he does as a human and he is a Soldier and what the fuck do you mean the government is just going to ignore this very obvious threat. Its Time For Techno To Go Off The Fucking Rails I Guess. Fuck the police and fuck the government there is a Giant Ass Murder Thing attempting to destroy the galaxy and Techno actually likes living there sometimes. And maybe he picks up some old friends, some new ones, maybe he learns he doesn't have to do things by himself. There are people he can rely on, friends even. And they mean so much to him. He'd do anything for them. He'd sacrifice himself for them even. (People always hc that Techno's totem scars are cracks down his face. In Mass Effect 2, when Shepard's brought back to life, they have facial scars too. Commander Techno, awakened, with scars glowing gold.)

Listen To Me. Listen. Dream as a Quarian. The Mask The Faceless The Hated By All For Bringing The Geth. And he's a scientist and he loves his family, his flotilla, he wants to bring back things to how they used to be. He wants their homeworld back. He wants so much, and when he has the chance to bargain with Techno and the Council, he takes it. He's going to use every advantage he has to bring his family home. But he's also Just A Guy. He's got a fun little LED smile on his mask, he gets So Excited over the stuff in Techno's ship. Techno Do You Know What This Cool Thing Powering Your Ship Does Because I Do I Have To Talk About It Now. Dream has a million tools and traps for his enemies and his adhd demands he infodump about the concept of Life and Death and What Does It Mean To Have A Soul and How Does This Relate To AI. Dream thinks AI can love, Dream thinks that his little combat drone is adorable and he calls it affectionate pet names. He has no sense of self preservation even when his suit is the only thing keeping him alive. Techno brings him with on almost every mission, because even if Dream can be annoying as fuck sometimes, he's also incredibly useful.

(Its an injustice, how the quarians are treated. Techno sits with him at the ship's core, and Dream grips the railing so tightly he hears it creak.)

Dream's ideas of AI maybe Actually Having Souls and maybe being able to work with the geth are not popular ones, so him sharing it with Techno is a sign of trust. He is so much less open with a lot of the other people on the ship. He needs to look strong, because he is. Because anything less will get him crushed by the system that scorns him.

When he hears about Techno's sacrifice, Dream is quiet. A trusted ally, a friend, family? He could have been considered family. They relied on each other to save the world together, and Techno told him that his ideas werent foolish (mostly,) and when Dream finally succeeded and got to build a house on his homeworld, he had wanted to invite Techno to come see.

(when he meets Techno again, he's wary. Doesn't want to get his hopes up that its really him, and not some clone that Cerberus made to get him off his guard. But Techno cracks a smile and knocks on his helmet and makes fun of him like he used to, and despite everything, its still him.)

Techno has a Lot of thoughts about Cerberus (A lot of them consist of Fuck These Guys) and a lot of thoughts about his own humanity. People accuse him of being a fake, less than human, a computer that just thinks he's Techno, Not A Person. He was brought back from death, is it really still him? (It is, Philza says, it always will be) but it haunts him. Its only when he cuts ties with Cerberus and takes off with their ship that he can breathe. He still has his ideals. He's still himself, at his core.

Listen I have More Thoughts Many Thoughts But Thats For Another Time I Am Zooming But Listen To Me They Are So Important Do You Understand My Rivalsduo My Boys My Guys

[psychelis-new]

thank you very very very much for my reply snd so sorry for my very long ramble. I guess I dont know what else to do atp, I couldve done much more had I not felt the need to fit in like everyone else is currently doing even memes are less entertaining as well as a lot fo it relying so much on the internet i just want to escape all of this nonsense i really do. like just yeet me into space then if anything. i dont care anymore for my life really. ik im probs just making excuses or sounding dramatic but it seems many others at leasdt have talents or something that they care deeply about. i just seemed to have missed the chances and since we didnt have any of this stuff when i was a kid

I dont particularly care for wealth yet at the same time that too is everywhere so its like fomo and inability to simply be satisfied in anything i like or do bc someone else has more or better things they are doing and its so easy to fall into the trap of comparisons, like so and so is posting their whole life online or so and so is exceedingly popular online and irl. i dont know lets just simply say that i keep feeling lkke a nobody and all anyone else on here seems ro say manifest xyz things and how age is just a number without knowing peoples past experiences or lack thereof skills and so on. i just dont even know what i want anymore either. its like im just a soulless blob in a pile of other blobs and everyone else is blobbing about stuff i dont particularly care about online.

i regret being born in my generation, i really do, theres almost too much going on at once but itd all digitalised rather than in person. even celebs dont seem to realise their devices can have an off button maybe if they werent online so much others would be inspired to do that as well but even if you go out anywhere people on their phones or go to concert let say people on their phones again how else to gsin connection with others when its all done via a horrid little screen which i regret buying but once again it is much required in todays society. theres certain things i wouldve loved to have done in previous generations or maybe had i been a different person of a different nationality but i still wouldve had to adjust to needing to be online for the most part. even just typing shit into google feels so soulless like i havw a brain but i dont need to think or feel and i dont need opinions cause someone online will end up hating me for it so thats out the window

As I was suggesting you, you need a break and find yourself again. You're too focused on what others do, who they are, and compare yourself to something that doesn't even exist (online world is pretty much like movies these days) and try to act the same as them to fit in (no but fr, who cares what celebs do online or how long they are online? it's their life, let them do what the heck they want -plus, they're often a brand with legs, they're making money that way...). But anyway you cannot fit in something if you don't know who you are and what you're searching for and if you don't know where you want to fit in (and where you actually can fit in without losing yourself -which you probably already did, in order to not feel left out).

You are worthy, your life is very worthy, but your worth is not outside, your worth is inside of you. Same as your talents and whatever good you possess (and don't tell me you don't cause everyone does). You cannot find it online or in strangers online, and for sure you won't seeing if you keep comparing with others and what they seem to have... so stop trying to do so. If others have fun online and have found their own place there, let them. Who cares what they find of so cool there. But if you don't, then it's time for you to find what you find funny by taking a break. Put in effort (the one you were calling for so much in the other ask) and find in yourself and what you want and like. The only way to find your soul inside of your blob is to look in that blob that is you and finding your voice. You cannot let others tell you who you are: only you know.

But it's useless if I keep repeating myself and you can't see you are worthy and not caged (you know it but still, you cannot leave the comfort zone you have created: you feel like you won't ever fit in and you keep finding comfirmations of it out of any interactions you have online. If you don't work on how you see things and yourself, nothing will change for real). You can think with your mind, you can believe other things than what you're told by society or people that only want to sell a product/gain from what they do (I already answered an ask or two on this... were they yours?). You can do what you would have loved to do in any other time: it's not about this generation, it's about you and what you want... don't find excuses to keep yourself out of what you desire to do or how you desire to live. Don't blame it all on this society, where you live and the times we're living in. You still have a choice, you can act differently and who the heck should care about it? If it makes you happy, do it. But if it's really so, if you know you'd feel better out of it, it's not the internet the problem, it's you caging yourself in a cycle that doesn't even exist (but was well created to sell products again)...

For real, take a moment for yourself. Maybe journal about how you feel, what you want and what you're searching for and then go find it. It may take a while and some effort, but you will make it. Maybe your people aren't online but at the supermarket you usually visit, or at the library or they share any other interest with you offlline. Idk. If you need connections, first of all connect with yourself. Then, you'll be able to connect also with others the way you need.

Again all the best! I know you're now writing me cause I am making you feel less alone, but I am not the answer you're seeking. It's only within you.

[pokestudentjune]

@ralts-lovin asked for backstories on the second half of my travel team! So we'll start off with Jade! B)

I've mentioned briefly before that Jade is the youngest of my current team so far! Shes the most recent member of the travel team, having joined the team as a noibat about a year ago!

I was attending some general education classes within Kalos over the summer, and when coming in to one of my classes a bunch of other students were freaking out and all out of their seats. Confused, I walked forward to check it out. Turns out it was a little knocked out Noibat. Not seemingly hurt or anything, just... sleeping?

Contrary to popular belief, most people arent actually pokemon trainers. Or really work with pokemon personally, so it was honestly kind of understandable that most of these students didn't know what to do. Some of them also seemed... scared? I guess they werent fans of bat pokemon.

Still, because nobody was really doing anything about it, I came in and scooped up the little sleeping baby and ditched class for the day, taking it to a nearby pokemon center. (Ideally, call up a ranger or the higher ups! I'm just the main character so I can do whatever i want /j) She was all right! If not a bit hungry. I let the little thing sleep in at the pokemon center until she woke up.. which was not a pleasent experience.

Jade practically made a mess of the entire room and would not sit still until until Lotus hit her with the sleep powder... Took her outside and waited until she woke up again. The poor thing was so scared, but also had some spunk! She wanted a battle... And I really tried to talk her out of it, but between every word I spoke she was throwing gusts and wing attacks my way... Finally gave in and caught her classic trainer style! I think she secretly wanted to be caught... She could've flown off at any time!

After that she really clicked with the team right away, she didnt even mind when Jasper was being standoffish as per usual... Shes always thought he was cool! My best guess as to what happened to her is that she got separated from her colony and ended up within the school. Maybe joining my team was like her finding one of her own?

Kaia has an issue with emoting, god bless 😅 girl needs to use more facial expressions more (and her voice a bit), i remember someone commenting on her Calvins commerical that she didnt even lift an eyebrow and they werent wrong, im seeing 1 facial expression throughout the whole commercial. It mightv worked in Bottoms where she was a side character who was popular n feels lik ppl dnt take her seriously cuz shes beautiful (so... mayb playing herself?), and her voice/minimum expressions worked for that bt it cant work for every role.

Yea... bless her heart lol 😆

Idk if it's her facial expressions or her VOICE (monotone, Valley Girl), or WHAT lol.... But if I were her, I would work on those things.

People were gassing her head up in the comments section though! So it seems there are ppl out there who actually LIKE her acting lol 😆

🤣😂

I actually don't think that most models make good actors. As an actor, you really have to be completely vulnerable onscreen.... whereas with modeling, it's all about "hitting your angles", posing in certain ways, or being very aware of the camera, etc.

Let's just say, I think it takes work to get out of the "model mode" to be an actor.

EVERYBODY and their grandaddy wants to act these days now though... Singers wanna act, models wanna act, wrestlers wanna act.... 🙄 It's like people just think it's the "in" thing to do and that anybody can just do it, I guess. 😒

just wanted to say that this is a really cute idea! I've actually known about this blog for a few months bc my friend's UTAU got a post, but I guess I never sent an ask like I intended to. ofc you can't post for every single UTAU/DV/self-made synth, but I hope you continue to include them occasionally bc it makes us lesser-known VPs really happy when someone remembers our kids lol! /lh /nf have a good day :)

aaaaaa thank you so much this really means a lot ;; i love all the less popular and self-made synths ive learnt about through doing these birthday posts; the fact they werent made to sell a product, but out of love and enjoyment for vocal synths means they hold a special place in my heart, so im glad it makes the people who made them happy too ! im always open to suggestions on what synths to post, even if someone just wants to promote their own utau. i started doing these birthday posts specifically with the intent of shining an equal light on all synths; i was inspired by those anime birthday accounts on instagram, when i seen many post about mikus birthday, but no other synths, not even any other cryptonloids, so i just decided to post them myself lol
