[am-i-the-asshole-official]

Heyyyy sorry for this msg... but I was just wondering if you decide not to post a ask... will we ever get to know..?? And if I am just overthinking this (maybe it was wayyyy to clear I was in the wrong) how long might it take for you to post the ask...

I am sorry for being the impatient person I am T_T

The longest it could possibly take for an ask to be posted is around 20 days, since the queue posts 15 times a day and I try not to let it get much over 300 posts

Unfortunately, both because of the extra work it would add and because 99% of the submissions are anon, there's no way for me to let people know their submission has been rejected--but it's for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's because the asker is fully aware of the answer and the post is effectively just a vent. Sometimes it's because it's too sensitive or traumatic subject matter for this blog, and I wouldn't feel right putting it in this venue. Sometimes it's just too dang long and would be unreasonable to put on people's dashes. Sometimes there's no action taken by the asker that can be judged, like "AITA for thinking/feeling x". And that's far from an exhaustive list. Please don't automatically assume you were the bad guy!

Night Springs DLC ramblings

Spoilers under the cut. And since this is a Koskela/Huotari main blog, my focus will be mainly related to these boys in relation to the DLC content.

Alright, my friends already confirmed it and I just watched all NS DLC chapters on YouTube becos I didn't wanna miss out lol, but yeah there's just no mention or appearances from the Koskelas and who was I to think they'd touch upon the Huotaris if even Ilmari is already forgotten and left out in most media surrounding AW2 😔

But yanno, it just irks me how erased the Koskelas seem to be.

Like yes, Night Springs gives us a look into alternate realities/universes/versions and you're telling me we only looked into worlds where the Koskelas (and in extension the Huotaris) just never existed. At all????

So in this post I'll look at what I've seen and how I might've made the boys a bit more relevant/have them make a lil cameo.

Rose's Chapter

In Rose's chapter, Scratch is wearing a biker jacket but it lacks the Kalevala Knights text on the back so I guess the KK didn't exist here..

I love that Rose wasn't interested in Scratch's biker look or the werewolf thing at all lmao. She's more vanilla than I thought xD

Funny how they went with the 'they're twin brothers' but now it's for Scratch and Alan lol. Even the twin thing the Koskelas had going for them, now attributed to other characters instead.

There was also someone at the Diner in a biker jacket. But again, a different design.

How I'd add them back in:

The Koskelas could've been NPCs at the Diner at the beginning. Or the ones out on the street, just outside the Diner

The NPC in the biker jacket could've worn a Kalevala jacket

Additionally, I think it would've been fun to see the Valhalla residents as NPCs at the Diner.

If we had more named characters as NPCs, I think this chapter could've felt even more personal. Now I felt a bit of a disconnection/detachment from Rose vs the other characters outside of Scratch. Like, yes this was sort of her fanfic/dream world but wouldn't it feel more effective/real if the people cheering her on were like the Anderson brothers, the Valhalla residents. The people you've already met in the main game that had somewhat of a personality? Becos now you might as well have used the shadow people characters at the Diner.

Tim's Chapter

In Tim's chapter we don't see anything either. Don't get me wrong, I liked his chapter too. It was wild and I'm glad to see Door play a bigger role here. The comic section was well done, rly liked its aesthetics and I liked how they tried to mix up the game as a medium. I think this chapter didn't irk me as much, given the context of it.

How I'd add them back in:

There's a Seine poster in the Oceanview Hotel and the tiniest bit they could've done is add Ilmari Huotari again in the credits. you wouldn't even have to put his face on the poster T_T

Jesse's Chapter

My biggest hopes were for Jesse's chapter. It has literally Coffee World as its setting. But again... Literally nothing, no mention in text or as a 3D character.

@zephyrone01 pointed out to me that despite all the other changes, Coffee World remains mainly the same. Even the attractions still have the same names. BUT! The Huotari Well no longer exists as an attraction. There's a well. But well, it's just that lmao.

So what's the point of CW even existing here other than being a little call-back/connection to the main game's universe? Coffee World was clearly a project of the Koskelas but they're nowhere to be seen or mentioned. Instead, we have a vague, faceless shady government (perhaps the Board?) wanting to take over through coffee indoctrination.

Of all the DLC chapters, it would make the most sense to have the Koskelas be present or at least acknowledged/mentioned in Jesse's chapter. And like... if they couldn't get Peter back to voice/mocap them, it could've been a note, or they could've used a distorted voice to highlight how they got corrupted by the coffee or something. But instead, it's Tim who gets suddenly corrupted by the coffee? Was it mainly to tie Jesse's chapter into Tim's? Also, it seems Tim's animations when he tries to convince Jesse to drink the coffee, seem to be copy-pasted from Ilmo's Deer Fest animation that is bugged and not easily triggered at all in the vanilla game/average run 😭 Tim never has been that vivid or animated in the base game, but you know who was? Ilmo Koskela.

The 'Cult' stashes & the math puzzles no longer make narratively sense other than being mechanics/little obstacles to be solved. Again, Ilmo was the 'mastermind' behind those math puzzles and the stashes were there for Cult members. What purpose do they serve now other than functioning as conveniently placed ammo stock for the player?

I feel Jesse's chapter had some potential and maybe even 'easy' ways to keep the Koskelas related to, yanno their amusement park.

So how I'd add them back in and make this chapter feel more connected to the other universes and the main game:

The Koskelas could've been the ones to get corrupted first and through them, others would easily follow

As @zephyrone01 and @copiasmicalso discussed with me, it would've been more logical to meet a corrupted Ilmo instead of Tim. It was he and Jaakko who marketed that coffee brand and Coffee World to begin with. Why not tie them into this chapter?

The Koskelas could've done that orientation video as pawns of the shady government. Maybe even in a similar vein to the Book Review ad with a clearly influenced/partially corrupted Ilmo.

There could've been some kind of connection to Jesse looking for Dylan and Ilmo looking to bring Jaakko back or looking for his brother or something. It would given us more narrative parallels! A sibling looking for their other half that got corrupted/influenced by a shady government

Make a different amusement park (one tied to the fishery or lumber industry but I suppose that would've taken much more time to make ofc)

The utter lack of the Koskelas makes me revise/question what their purpose in the main game was for then? Were they really that insignificant and immemorable to serve no extra mention in the other universes to the point CW is seemingly owned by a government and the Huotari's also have no historical purpose or importance anymore.

Like, their Cult of the Tree killings are what led Saga to investigate BF & Watery in the first place.

I'd dare to argue that the erasure of the Koskela brothers' existence in the Jesse chapter made the stakes feel lower and possible connections and parallels to the main game less powerful and interesting than they could've been. Plus it would've make more sense to still have Coffee World exist at all becos imo without Koskelas, there would Not have been a Coffee World to begin with.

In general

I like the DLCs for what they are and that they tried to do things differently or highly different from the main game. Alternate realities/universes always give us the opportunity to go off the main path and come up with different interesting stories and theories.

I do think that using generic NPCs most of the time also made the stories blander than they could've been.

The way the Koskelas' existence was all ripped away and sorta re-assigned to other characters

the twin brother thing now being Alan & Scratch

We never got the Actual Bikers get an animation on/with their bikes, but Scratch now gets one 😔

the Kalevala Knights' existence erased too

Tim in Jesse's DLC having the same animations as Deer Fest Ilmo

Coffee World literally not being their thing anymore but somehow still existing (rly why would the shady government even make a Coffee-themed amusement park)

TLDR

Saddened and equally not surprised that the Koskelas (and Huotari's) are just erased from the narrative in the DLC. Like their characters aren't even an afterthought anymore or relevant enough. All these wild different universes and they're part of exactly zero somehow.

The CW thing somehow remains unaltered for a few parts but taking the Koskelas' og involvement in that park into account, it makes no real sense to the state it is in, in the DLC.

I think their erasure (and the non-usage of other more known characters from the main game) made some parts feel less vivid/real.

Season 2, Episode 8 Post-blog:

So I did not liveblog this episode since I had friends over to do a watch party, but here's everything I remembered that I wanted to talk about!

As far as I can tell, the two Seanchan sul'dam that got collared are not going to be found with the collar on them. (Not sure if Renna is dead or if Egwene chose to uncollar her, but either way she's not chained up in a basement with the collar on waiting to be discovered by her peers.) I was thinking at first that this had major implications for the rest of the Seanchan storyline. But really, it only has implications for Suroth, since in the books Suroth (and Alwhin, who is already her Voice in the show) sit on the information until Egeanin discovers it separately. Egeanin can still be the first Seanchan to know and do anything about it. I do think this lack of a dangling thread, Suroth's ship being blown up, and the way it's hard to get actors to come back seasons later make it more likely we've seen the last of Suroth. I would be happy to eat my words, though! Also, Egwene, Nyneave, and Elayne all know you can collar a sul'dam, and possibly Mat, Rand, and Perrin will soon as well if anyone remembers to communicate this information, so any one of them could spill the beans.

Major props to whoever hypothesized that Uno would be a Hero of the Horn; not sure if he's implied to be Gaidal Cain or not (possibly not? there was a blink-and-I-missed it moment of PDA between Birgitte and somebody but I am not sure if it was Uno or not).

I did not anticipate Mat making an ashandarai out of household objects and the dagger and I am EXTREMELY PROUD of him. Also proud of him for escaping traps! My boy is really coming into his own! I also really appreciate the classic blunder of doing the same thing to Mat again but worse- the Dark does not understand that my boy thrives when you do that. He solves his problems by escalating them in intensity or magnitude. You can only put him in a room with drugs once, if you put him in a room with drugs again he will use them in an unconventional manner to escape and also destroy his enemies.

Also props to whoever guessed that the Horn would trigger memories for Mat- I'm intrigued by where they are going with this. I hope it's not precluding the Aelfinn and Eelfinn, but given all the hanging foreshadowing, the makeshift ashandarai, and Lanfear yeeting Moiraine out of the waygate doorway, I don't really think they'd cut the Eelfinn. It's the Aelfinn that seem slightly less like a sure thing, and I'm going to be a little on edge until Mat gets the DotNM prophecy somehow. I don't think they'd cut the problematic fave; it's a juicy part, idk what Mat would even do if he weren't babysitting the Seanchan in the later plot, and they've been doing great with the 'you're wrong but I see where you're coming from' characters. But they've either cut or significantly changed the Moiraine/Thom relationship in the show, and the two relationships are kind of linked in my head for thematic reasons. I'm probably overthinking it though.

HOPPER T_T

Dain looked like a boy band member who fell off the stage and got trampled in the mosh pit.

Loved that Egwene got to face off against Ishamael! Loved Egwene all the time forever actually. I was also entertained that Egwene had like one semester of Magic College and used it to school the Seanchan on linking mechanics. She's right that the sul'dam don't know how to link properly and are weak little babies when it comes to channeling, and she should say it.

Nyneave and Elayne were great, as usual- very impressed with Elayne, who is finally living all her Battle Queen fantasies and is being very brave about how much they suck, actually. Nyneave is in for some self-loathing next season though, I'm afraid. I love that Rand and Elayne still get to have a meet-cute when she's treating his wounds. :P

I was very happy for Tumblr User Moghedien that we got to see Forsaken Moghedien. She's offputting and very gay, just like I imagined!

Bedtime story live blog but like all in one post lol

So like a domain maybe? At least i think time dosent pass in them?

HE"S RETUEND! YAY :DDDDDDD

straight up do not belive you but ok

OK SINNER MENTION!!! LET GO!!! MORE INFO NOW YAY!!!

:/ upset it's dialouge options and we get to choose whther they feel betrayed or not. Hoyo please stick to them being their own charcater i beg of you.

This whole sequence kind of reminds me of the interview in from the first time we meet him. I have to talk about that one day since depending on how you answer he goes "You and your sibling are the same/ diffrent" which. hmmm

Hello?!?!

HELLO?!?! Makes his situationship with the abyss sibling worse T_T

RHINE?!?!

ok him leaveing so quickly after caribert makes sense now

New fear: rhine being a giant crystal when we meet her.

WAIT RHINE DID ACTUALY REACH GOLD (like alchemy gold becoming transendent. The end all be all according to kehmia's order for alchemy.)

... did dain not sleep at all? He sounds tired

implanting memories into others.. that's weird. Haven't we heard something like that before?

It's nice travler has a lot of faith in dain but also dain seems a bit off? THe way he's speaking is diffrent? idk how to explain it other than like a bit confused and tired

ok yeah there is deffinatly something wrong with him.

I wonder when Dain found the temple of revelations ( is that the name) ? Like the obvious answer is before we foind the feild tiller but it seems this area is part of the chasam civilization? the only problem is that it's not upsidedown ig. But in that interlude dain says that was the first time he's seen it.

Oh and this place has the same flowers an enkonomiya i think. Oh and the hooded stautes are the same as well as the candles.

dain is lying i can feel it.

FInal thoughts: God fucking damn it

[janiedean]

What do you think of the theory that GRRM is going to announce WoW at WorldCon, because of all of those mysterious yet cheeky 'Words of Wisdom' posts in his not-a-blog?

sorry for the lateness anon!

anyway I went to check on his blog which I hadn't in a while but like I'm at the zen place where I'm okay with him publishing whenever he decides it's time so I'm not like obsessively checking and like... idk if I'm missing posts but I only saw one which I guess is mysterious but tbf could also be boomer shitposting, but most important I scrolled down to the mad max post and

Ah, well.   That’s a problem for George Miller and his team.   I have my own issues back home in Westeros and Essos.   Worldbuilding can be a bitch.

tbf this to me reads like he's still working on stuff and like he's saying he's not done yet

also like... from one person who has been in a writing slouch for way longer than I'd have liked for reasons that are most likely not his but can relate: he's gonna announce it when he has it without dropping hints or fanfare but he's sure that he has it imvho, at the point where you missed the deadline for that long you're probably feeling guilty enough abt it that you just want to wrangle the thing into shape and have it out without hinting stuff so that's my vho but hey if I'm wrong I'll just be glad tbf pls give me that damned book george i want my spoils T_T

[proship-april]

sorry if this comes across as rude, i promise i'm trying to ask this as nicely as possible, but do you know anyone who hosts a proship week rather then a month? i really want to do proship april but i just can handle writing or drawing that much art and or fics T_T

if you don't know anyone, would you be will to throw the idea out there for a proship week and see how it's received? i don't expect you to host it, i imagine hosting proship april is already stressful, but maybe if the idea thrown around for a bit someone else will step up and host one?

sorry again if this comes off as rude! i promise that i'm not trying to dismiss proship april or anything i just can't participate and wish there was a easier proship community even that had less prompts to write/draw!

Hello, anon! Don't worry, your question didn't come across as rude at all — I understand how stressful and time-consuming a month-long event can be.

First, you are absolutely not obligated to do every day! If all you have the energy/time for is a week, you can pick seven prompts and make your own week! The calendar we've posted is not the end-all-be-all.

If you want something a little more fun, this blog has the option of generating a bingo card from the prompts. (There is even an SFW version!) You don't have to fill those out, either — just get bingo.

Prompt events are supposed to be fun, not homework. Engage with the event however you like! There is no wrong way to have fun with fiction.

However, if, in the future, someone wants to host just a week, I think that would also be lovely.

Most of my posts are reblogs and occasional art

I don't really know how to properly interact with people so apologies if I ever say or do something you'd find weird, I'm trying my best

I'm a minor so please don't be nasty :(

Feel free to send any asks (I'm dying for interaction) and I'll try my best to answer them

I'm still pretty new to tumblr so please be patient with me^^

I'll probably update this from time to time, Hope you'll enjoy my stupid little blog^^

[gunsli-01]

the app keeps crashing while im tryin to send you a thoughtful heartfelt Message in support T_T well i just wanted to apologize on behalf of mu fans for being unhinged and that i really really appreciate your milgram posts even if people dont "get" them. im trying very hard not to go on a "kids in fandom these days" rant FJDIJDOEKDOEJDJ hope u have an ok day!

Pffft, I hope it's not just kids. I can accept I rub people the wrong way regardless of age and can ramble about personal, unrelated things in my posts that some may not like. I'm just glad some folks do like them. Plus, I could have responded in a more controlled and mature fashion.

I've just been having a rough go about it all around for a bit. It sucks that this happened again to the sideblog now. It's just a waiting game until staff fixes it and says it was a glitch despite it very much seeming as if someone just reported the whole blog as spam. I'm just happy I got the Mikoto post out before it happened and that people do enjoy any of my posts and the one fanfic that's up. I'm gonna try not to dwell on things and do better, I guess.

Really reflect and realize that just because I'm going through something that seems unfair doesn't mean others should. Thanks for the message. I really appreciate it! I'm gonna try to make the rest of my day as ok as I can and not dwell on it. Oh, I also finished calligula effect overdose and started two! So, I got stuff to hold me over until I Love You releases~

[wndaswife]

uuurrrggg this is so frustrating my last fic not even being labeled and still having as much interaction as if it was T_T like am i doing something wrong with this blog idk what to do

i feel like this blog has been at a plateau for literally the last month whyyyyyy is it like this,, thought it was just labels but that fic wasn't even labelled and idk....... it's no different than if it was

makes me feel upset :< but i will post everything i promised for this week , after that im not sure

[mirandashadowborn]

I keep posting the wrong stuff to the wrong blog perhaps I am getting too old to internet T_T

[oodlenoodleroodle]

A blog that posts various ancient artefacts etc just posted a straight up real mummified human head, several photos from every possible angle. So I had to unfollow.

When will people understand that "mummies" are real human beings and not objects? Displaying human remains like they are objects is a fucking human rights violation. Bodily autonomy is a human right and it extends to remains too.

Just. Fucking. T_T

Anyone talking about decolonising museums while continuing to display human remains should be slapped -_-

.

(If you reply with some sort of defence of displaying human remains, I will just block you. Even if the human remains aren't from colonised peoples, Scandinavians. I don't want to hear it, it is ethically wrong.)

[elaichoi]

gasp 🔴 live viewing of soulmates au unfolding irl

yes in fact i am (confirmed)

to be fair i haven't been on tumblr that long i joined somewhere btwn jan-mar of this year and so i don't think ive experienced many of your themes (blog profile wise), but i remember stalking the tags and it was easy to spot what works were yours based on the header edit, it stands out and is v eyecatching among other stuffs in the tags ^_^

mhm i think your style is very deviantart fs hehe,,, NAUR FR they r the ogs i used to want to be them so bad. for reference i started getting into kpop around 2/2.5 gen,, i was an admin on a facebook snsd fanpage and posted like png shadow/swirl edits 😭😭😭 simple times

hell i'd love to! i don't think i'm mentally there i fr lack the creative capacity, its in very rare circumstances do i see something that i kind of envision and edit in my head and ill usually screenshot it to keep the idea there but i even more rarely ever jump into starting the edit.

yes it is! i still have and use it, it was the 'it' app for photo editors back then me thinks, kind of like the ae of photo editing... at least from my viewpoint on the ig fanpage editing scene. it was the hotter sister to picsart lmaoo

see soulmates au!! we couldve crossed paths but we didn't!! until now!! 😾

omg wait stop it cus i used to love reading imagines n shit on ig but im pretty sure i stopped because i felt like it wasn't a popular content type esp since its a photography platform. i browsed the tags for imagines n stuff but it was meh,, i only followed ONE imagines account 🥲

wait so to clarify, u also edited on ig alongside writing?? imagine if we crossed paths on the algorithm dats crazy 😭 you're the cool one i wish i could be skilled in both literature and art ?? i simply do not have enough brain cells for that ^_^

canva on phone is my enemy‼️ at least the last time i used the mobile app,, bc i now use it only on desktop, sometimes on ipad... cus u alr cannot see the layers i cannot be doing anything complex bc i will def tap on the wrong layer and thats annoying -_- the patience u have ㅠㅠ well assuming the app is still like that idk maybe it changed

HAHAH i used to draw before like pencil paper shit so i thought i could do it digitally....and after years of not drawing on pencil paper too 💀💀

u are so much more articulate than me goodbye thats embarrassing 4 me T_T

soulmate does exist <3 look at us being prime example!!

actually i think ive active with my account within the time frame as well, probably feb-march i think, but before that i didn't care about the account that much but like slowly started make headers im a tryhard ( only after i stopped obsessing tumblr themes bc i couldn't figure it out) ARE you fr?? like u could tell my works in the tags of my header?! dude that's so,,, that's like such a huge compliment that I've got something that makes someone go ah yes it's that same. author like it feels so fulfilling, YOURE REALLY BUTTERING ME UP ILYSM!!! thousand consentual kisses!!!!

YOURE SO COOL WTH YOU'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2/2.5 GEN PLS THATS SO awesome ive been into kpop since mid 2017 so most of my groups like og ones were third gen but I listened to 2nd gens too and SNSD my beloved!!! genie was my introduction of kpop tbh and replay by shinee is what made me stay so i can say im a child of 2nd gens too lmao but holy shit I want YOUR PLAYLIST!!!!!!!! GIVE ME SONG RECS!

tbh i get you i only edit for my headers or blog too tbh like usually if there is no purpose you don't really feel like editing bc it's like what are you even gonna do with it? and you've said that you've always posted them so maybe the fact you don't have anywhere to showcase your art has you feeling like that too?

"hotter sister of picsart" this is so real bc all the hot editorson Instagram ( the western artists collage style specially) all used superimpose and thr fact they used to pay for it too.

bro like imagine if we did cross paths i think i was more active on ig during 2019-2021? imagine if we had ever crossed paths since we both worked on kpop lmao, okay but if you like posted your work under #kpopgfx im pretty sure i have came across at least once!

did kpop have imagine accounts? i knew a lot of dating door accounts tho lmao but then again i was stuck in wattpad, and that's all the delulu you need lmao.

lmao yeah i always wrote with my works, most of my edits were based on stuff i wrote basically like love stories based on songs, certain ideas (was BIG on mythologies and all the other things.) but really fr tho i wonder if I actually ever saw your work tho because i never had the guts to interact with other editors.

lmao im the same with canva but on laptop i for the life of me cant do that plus i just use it get pngs and other stuff also when i want to do masking lmao. i usually collect shit on there and then manipulate those on my own app.

bro that is insane that you used to actually drawing like as someone who can't draw a single straight line this is so cool to me i really wish i could draw tbh

articulate and me? lmao im literally all over the place but it's so sooo fun to talk to you!!

[leavemetoplaythesims]

i reblogged a post on the wrong blog T_T

[derekgoffard]

I was sorta debating whether or not to make a post about this because I don't wanna make the people who don't have access to the tpof beta/don't wanna be spoiled feel bad or anything! But since it's coming out pretty soon and I've been sorta dying to say my opinion on it, I'm just gonna make one statement on how I feel about tpof after 10 hours of game time:

IT GOOD. ITS REALLY REALLY FUCKING GOOD.
