#i haven't watched ren's videos for a while

[sometimesrendog]

[day 165] just ren holding doc. that's it

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

Hilarious dichotomy in Hypno's new video as he fights for his life on level 3 of Decked Out, meanwhile Ren is in chat, uh *checks notes* having a child? Yeah, sounds about right lol

[raindropren]

everytime gem mentions impulse and pearl I get really,,,, I think the word is uncomfortable?

It may be a fun storyline but i get so,, weird when a character is very clearly wanting someone to have a bad reputation with others instead of it happening gradually. Gem even says that impulse hasn't really done anything to her and joel, and yet,,,

not to mention the fact that the only thing Pearl did to gem was trying to get her to eat the cobblestone wall, which yes, would've poisoned her, but also was clearly for funzie's and something that multiple people had done in session 2 at that point, and maybe, maaybbee, be alittle agro with impulse during the cow stuff in session 1? but I,,, i have my own thoughts on that. Anything else is from the last season, and while referencing a past season is very fun, having a whole bias because of one makes me,,,, blah. It's not a bad thing, it's a fun storyline ngl, It just makes me,,, like,,, kinda ill,,,(and not in the "I'M ILL /POS" way,,,) like a,,, weirdly physical ill??? It's so weird to say because,,, I'm completely talking about the characters, I think CC gem is amazing, and really funny for this ngl, but stars above, the character makes me sick feeling.

Also, the fact that multiple other people have been,, eh,, meaner? to "The Family" and instead of also being rival's, enemies,,, not friendly?? with them, they are constantly trying to ally with them in a way. Biggest point is martyn, First session he killed one of their cows to try and force them into a trade, and it worked(kinda)! AND IT WAS IMPULSES COW!!! so ya,,, the fact the entire thing that,,, that was,, just vanished in her thoughts of them is,,, gvbiufhdbkgudfljnrioghdfjk

It's so interesting,, Fascinating, I love it, I hate it, It makes me sick, it's on a C!Scott level of interesting, WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!!!

There's a weird level of nostalgia that I feel towards what C!gem is doing,,,, It,,, reminds me of a different,,, smp,,,, anyways

She's actively and constantly saying, especially to others, that Impulse and Pearl(But not Scott and Cleo) are basically the villains, that they should be harmed, die and such, to go after them. She tells Skizz to try and kill impulse actively, joel and her give him advice. She says something to Ren, Martyn, and Etho aswell(and I'm 90% sure there's more, i just,,, haven't finished watching the video,,,,) Bdubs and Tango? maybe BIG MAYBE!! they're around quite abit but I can't remember(my memories so bad oh my stars,,,) if She said anything to them. She talks to Scott about it AND I THINK SCOTT??? AGREES????

This girlie confuses me to no end,,, WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!

Also the fact that They are CONSTANTLY on her mind, despite not interacting,, basically at all it seems in session 3. They are in her head, spinning while she desperately tries to get them out, of course, via death in-season <3

[internals1ut]

I just had a thought, what kinda porn do you think the guys watch?

I won't lie anon,,, this is a hard one for me - only cause I am not one who watches those kinds of things - I actually get flustered and can't even look at the screen when it happens in shows / movies, reading is different of course -

I am racking my head but I haven't really thought of much for some,,, but I will list a few characters and the kind of stuff they did watch! I tried to make it one from each house -

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

18+/nsfw/minors gtfo

Kaito -

Wanted to rub one off but wasn't really turned on.. So he grabs his phone and opens that one site.

He probably watches something around with like hot milf on the screen and its from the guys pov

Keeping one hand holding the phone and the other in his pants, he touched himself while watching the video.

The whole mood got killed because at first it was a quiet video but then suddenly there was a loud part that made him drop his phone on his face!

Leo -

His own sex videos.

He most definitely recorded having sex with Sho, Ren, and Mido. So spin the wheel and see which one he going to rub off to tonight

Ren -

Definitely those anime porn videos -

He seems like the type who gets annoyed because of the pixel blurs on the video.

"I am watching it for the plot" ahhh kind of moment.

Taiga -

He was just bored, he thought he could watch something to get some new ideas.

But he ended up watching some bdsm type of stuff.

"Oh Lulu"~!

Zenji -

He made Haku look up stuff to see what kind of passion is in this to inspire in song writing...

It was just some random video sex clip from a movie.

Of course it was 50 shades of grey.

Edward -

Watched some as curiosity got the best of him.

Hre watched some casual sex of both same sex and not - got bored before he switched to those actually impressive animatic monster fucking videos on Twitter -

Yuri -

He wanted to try topping at one point, so he watched a video on it but got so deep into it that he watched all the categories.

Jiro ended up catching him watching the videos and joined him? Yuri was embarrassed, but this was just for research

Spoiler alert, he still bottomed.

''The Kabedon Technique''

Jaune was in his room alone while reading a book that Nora had given him called ''How to make a perfect kabedon'' and he was reading it with curiosity.

Jaune: I don't know why Nora would give me this but maybe it has something useful. Well let's do some tests. Then I can invite all my friends to watch animated films with me!

Ruby was walking eating cookies until she was pinned against the wall by Jaune which made her face turn slightly red.She could see a confident expression and smile on Jaune's face.

Jaune: Hello my red reaper. Do you want to spend time together for a movie night? Just the two of us~ and some friends, To chill and netflix.

Ruby, after hearing that invitation, had her face completely flushed like her cape. She would be ganging up and confused and not knowing how to react.

Ruby: I- UH! What! Huh! Me and you ?! Yes!? Absolutely what?!..Yes?

Jaune would place two fingers near Ruby's lips and say shh with his mouth and move away but look at her smiling.

Jaune: Its a date then?

Jaune(Mind): Cool! Having managed to convince Ruby to watch the movies with me, now I'm going to test it with the others!

Jaune would go to the library and see Weiss reading and then he would catch her attention and look at him a little irritated.

Weiss: What do you want Jaune? Can't you see i'm busy here.

Jaune approaches and pressed Weiss lightly against the table, which would make her blush slightly, but she was still irritated.

Jaune: Hey snow princess. Will you join me and the others for a romantic movie night? Would you do it for the teams and for me?

Weiss would have her face flushed and would pick up the book she was reading and lift it up, covering her face, preventing Jaune from seeing her flushed face.

Weiss: W-well, if it's to h-help with the r-relationship between the t-teams, I'll agree to go to this film session!

Jaune would leave with an expression of happiness on his face and meet Pyrrha in the hallway and taking advantage of the opportunity he placed her against the wall with a gentle smile on his face. Pyrrha was confused and happy at the same time.

Jaune: Hey partner would you be in-

Pyrrha: Yes! I'm interested in anything you're going to do with me but please be gentle jaune!!!

Jaune: Oh ok then see you later!

Jaune released Pyrrha and she ran away blushing and with a huge expression of happiness on her face. Jaune was slightly confused by her response. Jaune was going to the dorm until he saw Ren cooking and then he would go to his side helping him and then he would take his hand and look at his face.

Jaune: Hey beautiful lotus if I haven't been bothering you but do you want to watch movies with me and the girls later?

Ren would blush and look at Jaune with a gentle smile and nod and Jaune would see this and leave the kitchen heading towards his dorm.

Ren(mind): My god I'm a bisexual disaster!

Jaune was walking until he was pinned against the wall and what he saw was Yang who had a mischievous smile on hers face.

Yang: Hey vomit boy~ I saw that you were calling people to watch movies in the dorm and you still haven't come to me.

Jaune was blushing and confused thinking about what he was going to say but Yang saw that and let out a little laugh and let him go.

Yang:I'm not mad just know that I'll be there too I hope you enjoy action movies heh~

Jaune(Mind): Is she the creator of kabedon?!

Venison Steak

Trick or treat, tombler!

This is part one of the Halloween party I prepared for the Ito Family. In this post, Stella will cook some specialty venison steak as one of the main dishes of the night. The venison steak cc recipe is made by @icemunmun-spicy-scalpel (click here to download the recipe). Please be aware that you would also need to install Custom Food Interactions (its last update is November 25th so make sure you have the latest version) for the recipe to appear in your game. The recipe can be found under the Gourmet Cooking pie menu.

Now, let's begin what we do best: the cooking part.

First, the meat. Venison is said to be healthier than beef, as it has half the calories and sixth the saturated fat found in a same-sized cut of beef.

Stella prepares the venison meat. It's important to choose an acidic marinade with plenty of bright flavors from vinegar or citrus, as those ingredients not only lessen the "gamey" flavor of the meat, but also help break down the tissue which results in buttery-soft meat. With venison steaks, marinate for at least 3 hours.

The side dishes include huckleberry compote, pearl onions, pomegranate sauce and potato puree -- what I love from @icemunmun-spicy-scalpel is her dedication to go an extra mile for the side dishes 👩🏻‍🍳🤌🏻

As seen above, Stella chops down the pomegranate before boiling them and crushing them to make the sauce, and garnishes the green onion with oil and seasoning before roasting them in the oven.

Finally, cooking the steak. Great tip I found on the internet is to not overcook the steak, as venison steak is best cooked to medium-rare only. The cooking blog I found this tip from pulled the steaks from the grill/the pan as soon as they reach 117-125F (around 47-51C).

Last but not least, it's important to rest the steak for around 10 minutes before cutting, as it will allow the juices to seep back into the meat. Perfect timing for a little spooky photo session, don't you think?

The Adults™. From left to right: Nanami Ito, Vienna Ito, Astarion Ancunin, Stella Ito, and Kylo Ren. The five of them also hung out together regularly as Ito & Co. clubs.

Nanami dressed up as Wednesday Addams from the 2022 Netflix series Wednesday, while Vienna and Stella (and their respective husbands) dressed up as Anastasia "Anya" Romanov and Dimitri (Anya's love interest, because of course they need to create the token savior in a white horse) from the 1997 Fox Animation Studios animated film Anastasia, one of my favorite -- if not my most favorite -- animated movie of all time! 25 years later and I'm still very much in awe with its original sound tracks too. Toast to you if you love Anastasia too! 🥂 Or if you haven't watch it, please give the film a chance. It was sooooo good.

CC list: Wednesday Addams dress is by @madlensims (download here), and the complete Anastasia set are by @blogsimplesimmer (download here).

Coming with Nanami tonight is her twins Sean (white sheep costume) and Kieran (black sheep costume), who are cutely put into sheep costumes to match her black-and-white vibe (sheep costumes are by @madlensims, downloadable here). The twins were a little cranky as they're bit tired from Trick and Treat-ing, so Nanami put them to a quick nap before dinnertime.

Osh Cous B'Gosh members, a.k.a The Cousins™. From left to right: Frejr (dressing up as SpongeBob SquarePants), Soleil (dressing up as Patrick Star), and Leia (dressing up as Ariana Grande from her "Yes, And?" music video).

CC list: While Frejr and Soleil's costumes are almost entirely vanilla game, Leia's dress is downloaded from here.

More photos of the family. I never realized how hard it is to repeatedly place the teleporter and make multiple sims complete a specific pose, but I'm very satisfied with the images above 🥹

The face you make when your mom forced you to pose in front of the dining table you just made. Leia low-key wondered whether her mom genuinely wanted to take a picture of her, or she's just happened to be on the frame when her mom wanted to take picture of her succulent venison steak.

Specialty venison steak with huckleberry compote, pearl onions, pomegranate sauce and potato puree. This post is the first of the two parts of the Halloween party, and on the next post, we will see the family having a wholesome Halloween dinner. Stay spooky, and 'til then, dag dag!

P.S. Detailed cooking process of venison steak is taken from this article.

Jaunedice arc rewatch time time, Let's get this over with

.One of the worst parts about early Jaune is that he's too incompetent to any cool choreography in his fights

.They real did just give the characters video game health bars

.Oh no! Jaune lost to the guy who can casually bully people multiple school years above him, how surprising

.Ren, how the fuck would you know Nora's dream better than her... that makes no sense

.Really hope Ruby had something before or alongside cookies for lunch, that ain't good for you girl

.Velvet really needs to grow a fucking spine but that doesn't make everyone going "Oh he's so bad, it must be so hard for her" while doing nothing any less bad

... Why is Menagerie called that

.I think it would have been neat to make Oobleck a Faunus because his intro is him talking about Faunus lore and it would make him going asking Faunus in his class to publicly talk about their probably traumatic and sensitive experiences with discrimination a lot less invasive (It'd also be nice to a Faunus in power who isn't a traitor)

.The Faunus won the war but nobody ever fuckin acts like they did

.God I love Oobleck

.if Jaune told canon Pyrrha to kill someone, do you think she'd do it. She's 100% down to break Cardins legs

.Why is a Jaune quip the one suicide related thing in this series that actually lands for me?

.Did Cardin know they would be there or does he just like letting the wind in?

.You think a combat school would have good enough background checks to stop some guy from sneaking in but Jaune must have the best counterfeiting skills on remnant. even then you'd think his parents would at least be suspicious sense he had no proper combat training

."I can't do this on my own, what good am I?" You are already training as a part of school dude, stop being a stubborn loser

now on to Forever Fall....

.Ruby dropping the advice that destroys herself later (It's not always bad advice but god it became so toxic to herself)

.Cardin asking for some fucking bees, but not those bees

.Forever fall looking a bit cooler in the Black trailer but I still really like it here

."Professor Peach" Is expanded on in the books apparently but I'm point that out because there's a weapon's teacher called Herold Mulberry who's also only from the books so Ruby herself can't interact with him goddamn it.

.I will give Jaune one thing, He can SOMETIMES be funny, sometimes.

.Cardin's teammates haven't had a single line yet because they an 8th of a personalty each

.How is Nora slurping the sap that fast?

.Cardin calling Jaune "Jonny boy" gives me Maximilian Pegasus vibes

.How did Jaune's aura do that, we don't see Aura or the Aura amp do anything like that again

.Just send two more people away instead of letting them help you fight a giant ass bear because Yang and Blake totally can't deal with some grimm on their own

.Jaune has weirdly low endurance for the amount of aura he supposedly has

.People already say Jaune is "the real main character" but the problem of everyone but team RWBY feeling like the protag is something that crops up with both him and lots of other characters throughout the series.

.Remember kids if you want someone to stop bullying you, just save them from the fucking B E A R

.If someone is just watching the show without outside material, this is the first time anyone says the word semblance, no how short the episodes are doesn't negate how stupid this. Imagine if the first time hear the word mutation in an X-Man show was 8 episodes in, this is just brain meltingly dumb

.Pyrrha, all keeping that from Jaune is going to do is make him over estimate himself

.Oh yeah Jaune will never be a jerk again after this, he definitely learned his lesson. /S

My Bumbleby Rant (Don't Worry I Ship It)

Bumbleby antis who insist that Bumbleby is forced or poorly written or wasn't planned from the beginning piss me off so bad. I clicked on this video and I haven't even begun watching it but the comments alone have me heated because nigga what (I am black do not worry).

Bumbleby is written exactly like Renora (not exactly, exactly) and yet I hear no complaints. While yes Renora are impiled to have huge crushed on one another in volume 1 they don't do anything with it until volume 4! Even then it's mostly in the background of their interactions in an arc that's about Ren. Renora really doesn't kick off until volume 7!

Same with Bumbleby, while their interactions in volume 1 aren't overtly romantic by the time we get to volume 2 and 3 something fruity was cooking in the writing room. In volume 2 Yang and Blake have their heart to heart in Burning the Candles which you can say isn't romantic but the framing of the scene says otherwise.

It's in golden hour, Yang is so very gentle with Blake even when angry with her. Yang winks at Blake at the end of the convo and says "I'll save you a dance" and the look on Blake's face as Yang walks away. The dance thing is also something I want to meation because that whole dance was just a plot device to futher romantic subplots and villain shenanigans. But the fact that Blake shares a dance with both Yang and Sun, her two most prominent love intrests, could mean nothing.

Also in Volume 2 when WBY have their talk in Montain Glenn and Blake is being very hard on herself it is Yang that attempts to reassure her.

However it is volume 3 where yall bitches should have known what time it was. After Yang and Mercury's fight, where everyone believes that Yang attacked him for no reason and their sitting in RWBY's dorm room. Blake is hesitant to fully believe Yang because of her experience with Adam but after being Yang looks Blake in the eye reassures her that she didn't hurt Mercury out of maliciousness Blake lays the whole thing to bed.

(sidenote that scene is a wonderful display of communication and character growth on Blake's part and shows just how far she had come because volume 1 and 2 Blake would have never have done that)

Yang and Adam, Blake's ex-BYFRIEND, are being directly paralleled in this scene. Then the scene where Adam cuts off Yang's arm. Adam just before Adam stabs Blake he tells her "He will make it his mission to destory everything she loves" which is line that screams LOVE INTREST ENTER STAGE RIGHT.

Yang throws herself at Adam in an effort to protect Blake (there are tears in her eyes btw) and we all know what happens next. The next time we see Blake and Yang, Blake is holding Yang's hand while sobbing as she apologizes for what happened. These moments scream romance to me because of similar scenes between love intrests in other media but also because it sets up a conflict between Adam and Yang.

The writers in volume 3 set up a conflict between Yang and Blake's ex-boyfriend and I'm supposed to buy that they didn't plan for Bumbleby to be canon? Really? Also Yang and Adam's semblances are simailr something we knew about these two characters long before that was revealed in the show in volume 6. Meaning the parallels between these two were something the writers had planned out for years at that point.

disclaimer for next part: I love Black Sun do NOT take this as ship war nonsense. I'm just talking about people who leverage against Blacksun against Bumbleby. This is NOT an attack on the ship.

This meme is literaly me. I am a firm believer in the Blake has two hands agenda. Why have just one bubbly blonde when you can have two?

anyway back to the show.

If CRWBY had planned for Blacksun to be canon and they only switched gears to Bumbleby in volume 6 then why doesn't Sun have any conflict with Adam? As far as I know he doesn't even interact with that man but Yang does. What reason would they have for paralleling Yang and Adam if Bumbleby wasn't planned by the writers? Like get so serious.

Also within volume 4 and 5 you have both Blake and Yang pinning after one another. When Blake is having her talk with Sun after he is injuried by Ilia her voice literaly breaks when she says Yang's name. The volume 4 opening has Blake looking off to the side at Yang. It's so clear that Yang is the main reason between Blake's spiral.

Yang is so upset with Blake leaving in volume 3 and is still upset about it in volume 5. The whole reason Weiss and Yang's talk in volume 5 chapter 8 even happens is because Yang is upset with Blake for leaving. Also Blake and Yang can also be parallel with Taiyang and Raven, Yang's parents and canonical romantic pairing.

Like yes, Blacksun had some really great moments in volume 4 and 5 and Like Morning Follows Night is an absolute banger however I don't think they were endgame. Over the volumes they're interactions start to feel platonic more than romantic, even in the earlier volumes they're interactions aren't that romantic when compared with other ships. Still love them as a pairing tho and I'll alway find them so much fun.

Well that's it. I don't know how to end this. (I still need to finish that essay about Tauradonna, Blacksun, and Bumbleby. I'll try to work on it later.)

[shoechoe]

I searched "Ren Seeks Help" on Tumblr and I stumbled across your APC posts. I just want to say, that they were quite fun to read. I also find this show really fascinating - my favorite thing to put in the background while drawing are Media Mementos' videos about this show. I admit, I'm too sensitive to gross-out to watch the show in its entirety, I only watched some clips and Ren Seeks Help.

A big part of the reason why I am interested in this show, is because I am interested in John Kricfalusi in general. He's just... a fascinating kind of person, you know? Whatever he makes is weird in a way you can't quite get anywhere else. And he is such a great artist, too. I read through his whole blog, and he really knows his stuff about animation. You can just feel how passionate he is, how it really is his whole life. He is well known for having ridiculously high standards, but you have to admit he knows what he wants and what he wants is quite tasteful, cool and stylish. Well, most of the time. That's the thing with John K, his taste is really weird and specific. Half beautiful moody art, half gross-out jokes.

To me, Ren Seeks Help is just... beautiful! The expressions are so specific and inventive, the colors are so moody (I especially like that sequence of Ren walking to get help). Though, from what I've seen, the other APC episodes aren't as pretty. Altruists, from what I've seen, has this weird thick lined style, that just isn't that appealing. You can't help but think - what if we took this skilled director and staff, but gave them some restrictions, to showcase all that artistry without the bad parts? But then I realized, that was just the original Ren and Stimpy haha.

Anyway, this show is super unique, because it's one man's (almost) unrestricted vision. It's so finely crafted, so much thought went into it, and yet it sucks. Like, you'll see a character do this beautiful, smooth, well drawn sequence, but they're doing something absolutely stupid.

Usually, but not always, writing and art tend to be similar in quality. If a show is made by people who don't care about the writing, then the animation is usually also not that great. And similarly, if there is enough care put into a show to make it beautiful, then there is often some passion behind the writing too. Of course, this is not a rule, but what I'm trying to say is, that it's rare to see a show like APC, that has such a high gap between artistic quality and actual content.

So yeah, that's about it. Thanks for posting about APC. I rarely see people talking about it, and when they do, they often just repeat the same points.

Cheers!

Holy shit, another person interested in Adult Party.

For a start: I do not blame you for not watching the thing in its entirety if you're repulsed by gross out, LOL. As I have said before, I gagged twice getting through it. It really tries to be the most vile thing you could possibly animate.

I do think John K is a fascinating case. I mean, what do I say about him that a thousand people haven't already? He's a groomer and overall abuser, especially to his workers, and he is pungently nasty and bigoted. He should never be allowed to be in any position of authority ever again and he certainly should not be worshiped in any way.

I absolutely do not want to downplay John K as a case of the industry propping up abusers. John K was only really fired from Nickelodeon because his constant fighting with the network and terrible direction was causing issues with getting episodes out, not because he treated his workers horrifically. And even then, it took until 2018 for the decades-old grooming accusations to come out for his public image to be soured. It was horrible and a significant marker of how broken Nickelodeon is systemically.

John K has been exposed for years at this point and, while he should've faced more real legal consequences for the shit he did, I feel confident saying that he will never be given another job in animation and his cultural influence has waned just about as much as it will. And there really is a lot of interesting stuff to talk about with how John K's life and opinions influenced his work (the constant recurring father problems, for instance, to the point where it's uncomfortable) and his work's subsequent cultural impact for the time, as well as how his abuse punctuated all of that.

Ren and Stimpy was a darling of the nineties, after all- and that makes it even more interesting to look at how John K's abuse of his staff, extremely poor ability to communicate what he wants, and refusal to just finish shit made him a nightmare to work with and caused so many issues with production that he was fired off his own show. The animation is really technically good and fascinating to analyze, and it culturally changed animation, but you know the nightmare behind the scenes it took to make just wasn't worth any amount of good art.

Adult Party Cartoon is a very unusual case of a show for many reasons, but one of the biggest ones is indeed the contrast between the obvious technical skill in the animation (despite me really not enjoying it aesthetically due to John K's obsession with making everything extremely ugly) and the actual content being... Like that. I do think I would be less interested in it as a show if it weren't so well-animated.

Sometimes the focus on animation quality actually tangibly worsens it. The horrifically slow pacing of the series is used to accentuate the skill in the animation of every scene, yet it also completely evaporates any comedic timing the jokes could have. Like, in Onward & Upward, there's a scene that lasts for about a minute that's really well-animated- and it's of Stimpy eating a guy's snot. You're aware that this scene required skill and talent to animate yet it's absolutely abominable and it just drags on.

I'll stop rambling, but basically: Yeah. Adult Party is really interesting yet largely culturally forgotten or dismissed, partially because I think people really don't... Want to remember it, LOL. John K is a vile person- fuck him- but he is also a fascinating case as a creator in multiple ways which makes his work interesting to talk about and look back on.

Liveblogging real life part 2: Joel (it's been 12 13 days) (already watched)

Okay so maybe we'll do the liveblog-every-five-minutes-unless-something-crazy thing also idk if I should link this up to my intro post (idk how) or reblogged my og one with this oh well we'll figure it out why am I eating AGAIN doing this

I got inspired after rewatching secret life my beloved for the umpteenth time :P

Okay ep. 1/finale is hilarious and new "series" 😭

Joel why did you point out the cursor I can't take my eyes away

First batch

Joel jumping then immediately keeling over in nausea:

Idk how to respond to that but it struck a chord within me, how true

BigB wholesome waving but it also looks like his arm is BENT I can't get over VR arms man 😭

Punching BigB because he's so tall is so real tbh + love the smash cut to Gem being salty

Headpatting + baby-ish voice "little gem/Ren/skizz" what a gentleman makes me think of the try not to cry challenge or Jimmy's crazy christmas series where he says Joel is a crybaby and Gem says he's a romance guy in a mental gymnastics train of thought

Grian throwing his head back from the outside?! Cryptid behaviour

The real life vids don't make me motion sick but Joel making retching and vomiting sounds does NOT help it makes me sick by proxy or something I hate being disoriented and nauseous too buddy

There's probably a video out there of someone comparing regular mc to vr because vr just hits different like proportions wise

Joel noises

Love this Joel-Gem duo already idk how to describe it just fun

Also Joel having to process out loud he won't throw up on Gem I remember playing Richie's plank experience or whatever years and years ago shit was REAL

Joel's inventory becoming disorganized with things that can be stacked together :(

Hey what gem said kinda reminds me of what grian said :D at the end of his episode awful :DD

Poor Joel he's battling his height complex alongside his motion sickness (rip bozo poor little meow meow)

I think almost everybody had the problem of facing the wall dude, it's okay it's very silly

Water foreshadowing (he will swim with his future gang and become incredibly sick)

Geminislay that pig

Wait till Joel learns about lying down‼️‼️

JOEL STOP MAKING NAUSEOUS SOUNDS I'M GONNA FROW UP 👹

"...Falling in powdered snow" kinda reminds me of this short story I read in grade 9 English class "The Bamboo Trap" protag fell in The Bamboo Trap™ and got bitten by big ass spiders or something the idiot, also I think got published in the same anthology as the most dangerous game 👊

Joel admits to weakness

Weird ass snow, someone built this or something?

Joel with his arms out looks so silly, so does gem

Oh gem how graceful with the figure skating history 👊👊👊✌️👉✌️✌️🤜🤛🤛🤜🙏

Lol they learn about the wrist chat

Second batch

Jimmy, oh iconic Timmy

Shield (why did I write this again?)

Bi shoes, love seeing gem's skin wearing the bi shoes I forget about it every once in a while and when I see it again it's a pleasant surprise

Vr players learn to pvp

When you use the shield to block in first person it looks kinda stupid dude

Campsite vibes tbh, I really like it.

Bee spotted 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 what is it doing

Shaky controller cursor over top chest plate I feel you

Falling irl indeed (recursive mention about plank)

LOUD holy moly Joel is loud (not negative)

Healf being something people can't look at at all times is actually a kinda funny mechanic

Smajor friendship aww when will they team up (did I forget about a series)

The poor beg for bread, we live in a society ✊😔

Grian killing??? Since when??? (Sarcastic)

Batch three

Peace and love is why they haven't died yet 😘

Arms again! Weird looking things

Hand gesture reminds me of that one diamond scar short with etho's greedy "I want the diamond" voice

Flint and steel? Weird looking thing

Omg red club looks like bugs, the way the trio gossips about them ♥️

Right no out messages...

Can't believe the most motion sick man gets in the water not once but TWICE this ep

Does he know

Where did the horse thing come from

Can't remember if I mentioned this but when the sword swings without critting in VR it looks so silly it pokes

A bugs life: the sequel

Club: deadly euphemism

Sword 😐

Something about jimmy doesn't get burnt...

Why is Jimmy jiggles the only one with a wooden sword???

Strong words from a man on the verge of mania 👀

Lol knowing impulse breaks the ground under Joel big brain man going for the kill

Something about the disappointed way Joel says "scar!" And scar stabbing him in the first caused this

Tim is so British he says "get in" so much

Joel, again exasperated, cries out "where's all my stuff?!"

Funny Minecraft men, my favourite funny Minecraft men

My god seeing from Joel's perspective his second death is from zombie

I think Joel was about to saying bluming + the cover behind house + the constant begging for his stuff back + violence as an answer (he hits men)

Oh scar up to no good again

JOEL GETS IN THE WATER AGAIN!!! MOTION SICKNESS WIN!

Joel and scar just did mitosis stop being scared of biology 🙄

What was Mr solidaritygaming doing in that hill and said yes to did he finally get iron?

Aw the silly arm motion I love greeting people with spirit fingers reminds me of that

GOON SQUAD?! (neuron activated)

Famous moment

Oh more famous moment here comes the smallidarity kiss

Love Tim's body language once again the sharp smooth head turn to grian he's like a cartoon character

(what grian mean they are suited and booted he cut this part out I don't remember the other povs 😢)

Leave it to solidaritygaming himself to be the most homoerotic straight man there is of course + Joel is still patting him on the head? + Timsel being cringefail needing to jump multiple times on ONE BLOCK + Joel did NOT need to lean that much he looks like he's powered by springs + Jim's arms always being so tight together. Makes him. Look like. An old granny??? + Joel IMMEDIATELY checking his wrist afterwards like it's a Tuesday and he's on break + homophobic GRIAN + impulse's dad delivery one liner

The more I watch smallidarity kiss the more bizarre and asinine it becomes to me 😀

When did Joel learn to button jump (he WAS mental for jumping irl irl)

Okay Joel cut out that canary comment why don't you 🙄🙄🙄

WHACK 💀 SHAKE YOUR HANDS REAL FAST 💀💀 JOEL SCREAM #3997 💀💀💀

Fond of Joel's cadence of saying "hello guys!" And "I'm coming in boys!" And "HAHA!" oddly musical

Okay aaaaaaand he dies worst ranking ever good for him the end

Idk if I should liveblog scar next or watch Ren because I've already watched up to skizz + me 'ead 'urts oh well

Hey this might be stupid or not helpful but idk felt like saying it

I've followed ya for a long while, ya were one of the first blogs I followed like what? 3ish years ago and am in shambles as well cause of. Well. All that. And just wanted to say that if ya will leave, I'd suggest not deleting anything permanently. I can't say much specificness cause I can't remember that time well but I do remember yr blog was always nice to check, wish I would've interacted more when stuff was good. Idk. Like at the end do whatever n all but I've liked the stuff ya put here and idk. It's a nice place. English isn't helping me much right now but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed following ya, I didn't really know ya but you were cool. Wish you the best during these difficult times and just. Thanks for everything

Aw thank you.... that's very kind of you to say ❤️ and reassuring considering the thousands of blogs that come and go. I always just used this as kind of a rant blog for all HC stuff so it's v sweet hearing at least someone else got some joy out of it too lol. Feels like it's just another speck in the abyss, so genuinely it's very sweet that you remember it anon. Even crazier that you've been here for all these years too.... Would've been awesome having another friend to enjoy the wild ups and downs with

And honestly I'm not final on what I'm gonna do, just very.... lost like you. It just feels so weird right now cause like, pretty much my existence here is bc of Stress? (And yes, even though those involved have said all the issues were only with the other person 1. she still left and 2. the vast majority of her content involved him) Like I started this blog and made a twitch account for her. I learned how to archive vods bc of her. My first HC fanart is of her. The first "big" post I made was a list of recommendations for Stress episodes. And even though I talked abt her less recently compared to back then, personally she was such a big part of my enjoyment here that now I'm just ......?

Like I haven't posted about this, just bc I agree the focus should stay on those hurt by his actions and amplifying their stories. But god there was so much more I wanted to see from Stress. I was looking forward to the completed "Sentimental Stress" base. Possibly a revival of the Allium Alliance, and maybe even one day a 5/5 hermit gals collab. But it's never happening now. And honestly? I think I could've been fine, moved on. But it's the fact that there's nothing left to look back on either that hurts me the most.

In the past, when something grim happened, I would just play an old HC episode or a funny vod to cheer up. But all those videos I turned to, always feature either one or both of them. Not to be a stereotypical stan, but they were rlly my safe haven on those dark and dreary days. ......and now here we are. Not only is there little to look forward to, but it feels there's nothing left behind either. Cause tbcfh? My favorite part about HC is the history, seeing how long these friendships took to develop and how much stronger they are for it. So I loved those older, cringy series like Hunt the hermit or Foolcraft. And ofc I also downloaded a bunch of vods to watch back. Like the first big vault after co-op crystals were introduced, or that one 2021 twitch rivals with the two and False and Impulse. Hell I even have Ren's old MC dungeons vod of the three of them from when the game first released. But what's the point now? Everything I used to look forward to now leaves me sick, so what is there to turn to?

Honestly tho you're right anon. For preservation's sake I'll keep everything here even if I do end up going. With tumblr how it is, things get a lot more difficult to reach once someone deactivates. And I forgot I have things that False and Cleo (for the short time they were here) reblogged that I'd like to save. But we'll see. I hope you've been doing alright with this too anon. I mean hey, we've stuck around here for over 3 years now. All this time with the hermits has taught us that the best thing we can do: is to listen and support each other to build a brighter, kinder tomorrow

[roleplay-abiogenesis2]

Questions 7 and 8 for the ask the mundane meme. I'm mobile and can't copy/paste, sorry!!

Multimuse Asks || Currently Accepting!

which one of your muses has the most ships?

I am going to assume you're asking about ships I have partook in. I do not really involve myself in the fandoms I roleplay (like forums, twitter, reading fanfictions or watching videos), so I wouldn't know what people outside of my own sphere of involvement ship. Anyways with this premise...

I believe Sephiroth is the one I have written the most ships with. Which is not a lot, if you can believe it? Most of my RP partners haven't gotten to ship with me because of how slow I am in my approach to chemistry building.

With Sephiroth I have at least two ships established, which is my highest record for a single muse so far. I know, not a lot. Told you I'm Mr. Slow Burn!

what is each of your muses otps? notps?

Akihara Ren: no OTP or NOTP decided

Auron: NOTP with anybody, leave him be

Hakkai: OTP with Gojyo, NOTP with Goku, sorry, but he will cook him treats!

Cyno: Too soon for me to decide on OTP, but I am very weak on pairing him with Aether, Candace, Nilou and possibly Tighnari. Too early to decide on NOTPs.

Fushimi Niki: OTP with Kisa, as OTP as that means- NOTP with Saru and that should be a GIVEN.

Fushimi Saruhiko: SaruMi OTP forever and always, NOTP with Suoh. It gives me the heebie jeebies, please don't.

Sanzo: No OTP, but no NOTP either, really?

GLaDOS: OTP with science, NOTP with cake.

Hazel Grouse: OTP with teasing Sanzo while completely unrequited because those scenes are the best; NOTP with Sanzo because then I wouldn't get any more disgusted Sanzo reactions and where is the fun in that?

Kenshin Himura: no OTP or NOTP decided

Hisui Nagare: no OTP and definitely NOTP with Iwa he is his SON

Hope Estheim: he's a child so I don't really think about ships with him

ZEN: JuZen OTP!! Juzen OTP!! NOTP with Yoosung- and tbh... Jaehee. I'm sorry.

Iwa: Strangely OTP with Fushimi Niki, it's a personal verse in my brain and probably will never see the light of day again. NOTP with Nagare

Jet Enduro: OTP with Virginia Maxwell, who I will never find to RP with and that makes me honestly sad. NOTP with Gallows.

V: OTP with Jumin, yes, I said it. NOTP with Saeran or Saeyoung, he loves them as surrogate kids or little brothers. Also NOTP with Yoosung for the same reason.

Jumin: JUZEN OTP!! NOTP with Jaehee because that is just wrong, and NOTP with Yoosung. What do I have against poor Yoosung?

Kjat: Nothing established.

Syaoran: OTP with Sakura, obviously enough. No real NOTPs so long as age limits apply.

Yukari: no OTP or NOTP decided

Munakata: no OTP decided but DEFINITELY NOTP with Saruhiko... please don't make me do that. I will cry.

Neji: no OTP or NOTP decided, he's a child

Ran: no OTP or NOTP decided, he's a child

Red XIII: OTP with Deneh, NOTP with anyone not his species, you weirdos.

Roy Mustang: I will gloss over this guy for my own safety-

Sephiroth: Sefikura OTP as fanon as it is. NOTP with Hojo, Hollander, President ShinRa, Palmer..., NOTP with Vincent. NOTP with Jenova.

Sesshomaru: No OTPs. Definitively NOTP with Inuyasha or Rin. And I will deal with the consequences of this stance.

Squall Leonhart: No OTPs or NOTPs decided.

Totsuka: OTT with the Homra Founders, of course! No real NOTP decided.

Warrior of LightL No OTP or NOTPs decided.

That was almost painfully shameful to go through. I swear I am not anti-shipping! I just... don't really think about ships much until I am thrown into one through roleplay?

Ace problems I guess.

Human art with an impact

Nick Cave wrote that ChatGPT has no inner being. And Joanna Penn talks about doubling down on being human in an AI world. I've been thinking about that a lot as I learn more about what other writers have been and are planning to do with the technology. There are things that I think cross a line, at least for me, though of course I can't control anyone else. I've been thinking that my boundaries have to do with why I write and create in the first place.

I believe that writing is spirit work, that what I do requires a soul. But for the people buying outlines and synopses and character arcs online to write books from, and those generating all of the above from AI, they obviously feel differently. For those who plan to use this technology to publish hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of books, they feel differently because they write for different reasons.

I don't operate from a scarcity mindset, so while all this is concerning for many business reasons, I try not to be threatened by it. Because they can't do what I do. One of the reasons I write is to make an impact. Art that makes an impact changes lives. It changes hearts. That's what I want for my career.

All of this was underscored this evening when I watched the video "Hi Ren" by the musical artist Ren. (If you haven't yet seen it, I implore you to watch it.) I've followed him for quite a while now and this is the kind of art that is impactful. 10 million views in 4 months is impact. Dozens of reaction videos with people breaking down into tears is impact. The comments section is full of lives being changed by this art. This man baring his soul is changing lives.

This is what I think of as having an impact. Being vulnerable and sharing your human truth. Something AI can never do.

Finally managed to watch Jiggy Paradise and Leiya continues to be in all of the MVs - at this point, I won't be surprised if he's in Habanero, even if I really can't think of a reason for it.

Unsorted thoughts:

Ryota finally showed up with his crystal! He has a green one. So now we're only missing 4 Psychic Fever crystals - Tsurugi, Ryushin, Kokoro and Ren. We'll probably see those tomorrow. There haven't been any repeats - no one has a crystal twice.

Ryota didn't have a crystal in Beautiful Liar, but got his in Jiggy Paradise; Kazuma had a crystal in Beautiful Liar and didn't have one in Justice is Blind; Riku didn't have a crystal in Justice is Blind, but had a crystal in Black Magic.

Unsure if the crystals are an Aesthetic thing, I'm not sure what theme is or is not happening with them. I just know everyone has them. Jiggy Paradise introduced at least one new color - Yoshi has a blue crystal. For the 'at least' part, I'm not sure if Ryuta or Ryusei have new colors. Ryuta's crystal could be yellow or orange - if it's yellow, it's a new crystal color; if it's orange, Jimmy and Weesa had orange crystals in Black Magic yesterday. Ryusei's crystal honestly looked more like a hunk of silver than a crystal, which would - be unique and new. So if it's silver, new color. If it's white, which is the only other possibility in my mind, then it's not a new color.

I have a document tracking who has what color crystal and what video they got their crystal in, but I'm again on mobile and that document is inaccessible at this time.

Kazuma showed up in Jiggy Paradise, much to my surprise! He had a shot unsheathing a katana.

Fanta showing up around Miku surprised me at first, then Itsuki showed up and I remembered that Miku's character, Future, has ties to both Astro9 and Kisaragi (Itsuki's character) - Future and Kisaragi both grew up in the same wealthy social circle. And Future's father is, I think, the owner of the park where Astro9 performs. Future's father is, at the least, Very Important to the park.

That shot of Masa grabbing Ryushin intrigues me - the facial expression he had seemed to be some form of "Got you", but not like - a surprised got you? A I know you and I've caught you kinda got you. Ryushin's expression also didn't catch me as "Oh, no, a strange enemy has grabbed my arm!"

I really need to, like, rewatch the prior MVs to look into the lion's head pen. It's been in all of them so far and Ryuta capping the pen is the shot that transitioned into Kazuma unsheathing the katana, which may be related, may just be the best place to do the transition.

Also, there was a shot that looked to me like Miku was having a clairvoyant moment and it included a shot from one of the 2019 videos - I'll have to rewatch those three to figure out which one eventually.

I think the background object is some sort of vault door, maybe? Other option is big ass turntable, but that doesn't seem right. Every other background is tied to the novels in some way - Mad Jesters have one of the Books of Chaos; Rowdy Shogun has the Black Diamond; and Astro9 has the mirror (that I cannot recall the name of) - and I'm fairly certain there is a vault of importance, while there aren't any big turntables.

Once again, there was the page flying through left to right with everyone watching it go. This has been a shot in every MV so far, since Ryota tore a page out of the book and threw it, and I'm wondering if the page keeps flying in Habanero or if maybe someone grabs it? Either one would work, but I feel like grabbing it would be a better ending. There haven't really been any - returning themes in the music videos between generations of BOT, so I feel like the flying page would be ending in this BOT generation.

But those are my initial, unsorted thoughts on this bad boy. Can't wait until Habanero's out and I have the full set to repeatedly watch for details. 😂

I'm watching Ethos episode 11 of this season, and I assumed it was his latest episode because it was auto played. It in fact came out last month. There is a scene where Etho was hanging out with Tango, Cleo, and Ren, and they visited Cleo's hay shop inside of the Poe compound. While there, Ren jokes about stealing the rocket permit. This got my interest, because so far the Hermits haven't really acknowledged the iskall situation in episode, and them discussing the permit that is now up for grabs is up there. Etho grabbed the permit from a chest, and he and Ren discussed who should get the permit. Etho said he'd share the profits with Iskall "when he got back" and none of the other hermits corrected him... I paused the video in confusion, only to realize it came out before the iskall situation came to light, they were just talking about him being away from hermitcraft doing other stuff. Still, for a moment there I was really confused.
