#idk maybe I'm overthinking

[thetravelingymleader]

Just thinking out loud right now, feel free to ignore, but...

Sometimes I wonder where Loa came from. Usually Banettes are born from discarded toys, once loved by someone, and are said to seek revenge on their past owner but honestly? I don't know how much I buy into that. Loa has never once shown any signs of aggression like that, and is probably the most motherly out of all my ghost-types.

People always assume the worst out of Ghost types, like how "evil" and "malicious" they are, but I think it's all a misunderstanding born from human assumptions and stereotypes. Plus every ghost type I've met has never shown any malintent, and the only time they do is usually when a stranger is invading their territory- like no shit they're going to defend themselves, but I digress.

-And I'm not saying other types aren't stigmatized, Dark and Poison types get a bad rep too- none of it sits right with me, and I wish people would open their minds a bit more and stop being so stupid.

...Maybe that's why I'm so attracted to these types- we're all misunderstood beings trying to get by and just live our lives.

Huh. Well this went on longer than I intended, aha whoops.

I gotta word this very carefully else I risk summoning the Disk Horse, but... since my return to NSFW Tumblr I've noticed a lot of people being very strict about blocking anyone who doesn't have their exact ages in their bio (like, even "over 18" or "late 20s" isn't enough for some folk). And like, of course you've got the right to restrict your content as you see fit, especially when it comes to protecting your adult space from minors, but I genuinely do not get the point in being that specific?

Like, how is having your actual age in your bio any more helpful than just asserting you're over 18 when you could be lying either way? I have my age in my bio of all my blogs just cause it doesn't feel like super important info to me, but for the people who do wanna be as vague as "21+" or "thirtysomething" etc, it feels weird thinking they should be restricted from accessing adult spaces.

Idk I just remember when the norm across the internet was informing people your content was for over-18s and only taking action when you actually suspected minors were involved, and I totally support individuals deciding to be more proactive than that, but I worry that this is just another way it's becoming normalised to expect personal info from strangers on the internet.

Philza lore :D

I desperately want to make a full animation but I'm wary of losing motivation/not having enough time so I wanted to post some frames just in case I don't get farther

I was listening to the GTN audiobook and I was at the bit from chapter 21 where Camilla mentions that soul siphoning normally causes brain damage, and that Colum probably does have brain damage:

And now I can't stop thinking about Augustine basically calling Cristabel an idiot in chapter 17 of HTN

Was it just the siphoning??

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

Papyrus and Sans moved to Snowdin

So, for anyone who didn't know, Papyrus and Sans did not grow up in Snowdin. They moved there and its never been explained where they lived before that.

According to the bunny shopkeeper, they just showed up one day! (Similar to how Sans just shows up one day with his brother in Deltarune)

Which is why this Q&A is so neat!!!

Where did Papyrus and Sans live BEFORE Snowdin??? Somewhere with green grass, apparently. God I need more answers.

[why-the-heck-not]

submitted the last course for my bachelor's degree and now I'm going to start stress-knitting the most homemade looking scarf there ever was (it's 6 diff colors that might or might not go together and also I'm bad at knitting and I have no plan nor am I going to be counting layers, I'll switch the yarn when I feel like it) I'm nervous things are gonna fall through the last second somehow and I'll get a ''u can't graduate actually''-email once I send in that "graduating now pls"-form (can't yet bc waiting for the last courses to be graded)

Android AU Endings (Part 1 : Android Victories)

Thanks to the lovely @doveywovy and everyone else who gave that AU lots of love. You all inspired me to keep thinking about that universe and its possible conclusions. Here's half the endings I've come up with so far.

Ending 1: Izuna keeps Tobirama drugged and oblivious.

Inspired by a time when Tobirama was sick under his care, Izuna keeps Tobirama completely reliant on him using chemical means. Tobirama is so out of it that he doesn't realize anything is wrong - Izuna is careful to obscure the passage of time. The androids win and Tobirama is none the wiser. (Cute, domestic, incredibly fucking toxic. What more could you ask for?)

Ending 2: Tobirama is restrained but still fighting.

At some point, Tobirama caught on to the androids' plans and fought back. Izuna subdued him and is now keeping him captive in his own home. Sometimes he's lulled into complacency by the domesticity of the situation. Sometimes Izuna drugs him until he forgets why he should be wary. Either way, Izuna is watching him 24/7 from every corner of his home. Escape is unlikely. (Stockholm syndrome may be widely disputed but I mean c'mon we all know that's where this is going)

Ending 3: Tobirama dies trying to stop the androids.

Tobirama fails in a final last stand and is killed for it. Maybe he even decides to choose death when Izuna offers him a way out. The androids accomplish their dastardly goal, however, victory feels hollow for Izuna. (Izuna's breakdown may lead to an eventual human victory much later down the line. Absolutely no one wins in any case.)

Ending 4: Tobirama almost succeeds but can't follow through.

Tobirama's plan is carried out flawlessly. He's in the perfect position to shut down all the androids and free humanity. Right when victory is within reach - he looks at Izuna - and gives up. Tobirama is wracked with guilt over betraying humanity. Izuna gives him many freedoms for choosing to side with him. (Good ending?)

it just occurred to me that i can "casually" learn french and japanese over the winter sem since i'll have the "time." juuusst one of the many many many things i've been putting off but want to do... i wonder if that's spreading myself too thin... my novelty-seeking brain wants to hear different sounds. in different contexts. it's probably a sign i need to get out more but that's besides the point 😂 what do i dooooo there's too many thingssss

I'm noticing an uptick in comments complaining that most of the current WIR fandom content is Turbo instead of the other characters and, like... you guys know you can search other characters by their specific tags, right??? Or exclude Turbo from search results by temporarily blacklisting him in your filtered tags?

Idk, it's just weird to me to be discouraging towards people making fandom content just because it's not the specific content you want to see, like, it's ok to want to see other content, but complaining about how other people aren't catering to your tastes enough instead of just making the content you want to see yourself is kinda bad vibes, y'know?? (And that's not to say that I think those comments are intended out of malice of course, I really don't think they are, I just wanted to point out that it can come off as a little entitled, as well as discouraging towards people who just want to draw Turbo, which is something that should be fine if that's what they want to do. Fandom should be fun for everybody, and there's lots of tools available to curate your experience with it!)

AH I REMEMBERED!!!

When you meet Michael, he says that you should NOT align with Nightbringer or "there Will be consequences", Nightbringer wants for MC to remake their pacts with the brothers....

Taking the brothers back to the Celestial Realm would "ruin" Nightbringer's plan, because If they are angels, they can't make pacts with MC (well, only Satan could, but that's still 1/7)

This Is the reason this isn't mentioned in the original timeline. Because well, MC wasn't a factor in the OG past thus no Nightbringer, so there wasn't any reason to "forgive them" (If they are really forgiving them, which I doubt)

So, this Is the way of the Celestial Realm to say that they prefer to accept a bunch of traitors back instead of whatever the hell Nightbringer Is planning to do

ik no one care about my oc but.......

Beach rose...

[maareyas]

anyways for Reasons. I'm thinking about my old Star Clock Silver animation that I made for the Silverzine, and the tutorial that I WANTED to make but it was too much work.

I want to at least make the whole raw project files (the .PSDs, the actual AE .proj files, whatever assets I'm forgetting) available for download/study for everyone, but the main barriers are:

1. I don't actually know After Effects, including how to export a whole project including every piece of media used (I'm trying to google it-)

2. I'm worried someone will steal the art assets I worked so hard on :^(

[broken-clover]

It's eternally a little funny whenever I see someone say something along the lines of 'everyone in Strive is so happy now! Everyone's stories are getting resolved! It'll be hard to make a new game when everyone's retired and living peacefully and resolved their problems' and then there's a haunted semi-sentient mecha corpse in the corner constantly screaming from being trapped in limbo
