four isn't in splat3 because marie changed her job description to mainly include "kissing agent 2" and "being cute (for agent 2)"

i think i need to write out my thoughts on the “us versus all of them” character dynamic that lives in my head 24/7.

Like the “fuck everyone but me and you, only us, i will forgive anything that you do, you know me inside and out and i will excuse anything if it means staying by your side” dynamic. Doesn’t matter if it’s platonic, familial, romantic— anything, as long as it’s THEM verses everyone else.

"anakin would've never turned to the dark side had qui gon lived." utter. bullshit. not only is this particular hot take an insult to obi-wan it completely robs anakin of his agency, because at the end of the day it was anakin's decision to pledge his loyalty to palpatine and to destroy everything that the people he loved held dear. that's what makes anakin skywalker such a compelling character, and as darth vader a tragic and iconic villian... because he did this to himself.

Debating on causing myself absolute misery by replaying the Assassin's Creed series in the way that they are absolutely NOT meant to be played:

chronological order

Which for the uninitiated probably doesn't sound too bad and for the most part they'd be right. The problem only rears its head once you reach the years of 1752 to 1778 where, and I am not lying, THREE games are taking place at the exact same time.

four if you count the first half of the sequence 1-1 memory from unity

which I do fhdjdksjs

lastfm is bad for me i look at my stats and i'm like wow i fell off i should start listening to music for an average of 8 hours a day again. No You Should Not

one day i wanna do some good research on how many gainers/feedees first thought of themselves as just being feeders, especially if they started out thin. like personally, i only even got into this kink in the first place because i was in denial about how much i disliked being thin, and i kind of channeled that repressed desire to be fat into the feeder role since that's what was more internally acceptable than the idea that i'd try to gain myself.

of course, for me this overlapped with being trans; i thought i wasn't a gainer because i didn't like the idea of being seen as a fat man, but once i started putting on weight, it turned out that the actual problem i had within that nebulous aversion was not the fat part but the man part. being seen as a fat woman rules actually and is kind of the greatest thing ever.

point is, i'm super curious as to how many other folks have had similar experiences of initially getting into the feeder role because they were in denial about wanting to be fat(ter) themselves.

Something kinda small I really like about side order is the amount of scene-specific dialogue voice clips there is. This is absolutely corn plate level stuff but this is my tumblr so I’ll yap about tiny things like this as I please

In octo expansion, outside of a small handful of scenes, majority of the talking sounds are just the same as they are on the news, slightly changing with expression depending on what’s being said as they normally do. If you go and replay/rewatch parts of octo expansion Pearl and Marina’s dialogue gibberish won’t always sound the exact same in the same places as it’s just grabbing randomly from their voice strings with slight variation depending on expression.

There’s a bit more of these scene-specific voice clips in return of the mammalians, though similar to octo expansion they’re still pretty limited to one-time intro or ending type stuff such as Frye’s shouts when deep cut appears in early and late alterna. Side order however’s got a buuunch of these, still mainly in cutscenes but not as limited to just high-action parts of scenes. Majority of the cutscenes in side order will sound the same every time when it comes to the characters talking in them.

(I would’ve put this scene in video here as an example but there’s another video below and tumblr doesn’t like more than one video on posts 💔)

I really like that they did this cause the characters’ voices sound a lot more appropriately expressive for the situations they’re in. Even though they’re saying “sbdbjwsnsbjd” you can still clearly pinpoint a tone of voice, and sometimes the clips will even kinda match with the cadence of the phrase being said/dialogue speed which I think is Pretty Neat

(There’s way more examples of this but again tumblr hates multiple videos)

Also double appreciation here shoutout to every Pearl drone animation ever but this is a post abt voice clips so I’ll relate these things to each other. The scene when Eight and Pearl first find Marina agitando I really like cause along with the scene-specific worried Pearl voice clips they do a great job conveying her distress in her animations even though she’s literally just a sphere with eyebrows and wings

Anyways I don’t know why I wrote this long of a post on the expressiveness of “wsjdncgsgsh” talking sounds but nobody stopped me soooo enjoy the ramblings of someone who likes this game a normal amount

Holy shit I realized I'm in love with storylines where the protagonist isnt the same as the main character

The protag is just the most narratively interesting

Bro

Gabriel's the main character but V1's the protagonist

Ritsu's the main character but Mob's the protagonist

Kabru's the main character but Laios is the protagonist

Woag,,,,,

Three (Hundred) Days til Christmas

Logan Crofter's life is wonderfully normal. He's just gotten his bachelor's degree in Astronomy, he's working towards a position with NASA, and he's saving up to go even further in his education. He has a best friend he met at college, Virgil Sweet, and his life is going superbly. When Virgil asks him to come for a trip back to her hometown for the holidays, of course he agrees. But once he's been living the same day for days, he can't help but get more than a little annoyed at the universe. And when all of it is made worse by one of Virgil's childhood friend's bringing his cute twin brother, Roman, well, Logan just doesn't know what to do!

This was my entry for the @tss-storytime Big Bang! You can find the art for it by @lighthousechronicles here! (Link leads to the Tumblr post). This was my first big bang fic, and it's been so much fun working on it these past months. Go check out the other wonderful pieces (written and drawn) from other creators in the Big Bang too!

Also, please forgive this fic being released when it is neither 2023 nor the holiday season. I started writing this back in December of 2023, forgot about it, then signed up for the Big Bang and revived it.

Hey guys!! We are FINALLY back with a new bracket, this time pitting our biggest interests against each other... introducing

💥THE BRAINROT BRACKET!💥

This first round will have 13 polls with some of our all-time favorite pieces of media, the first 5 being shared interests, the rest being individual (Grim on the left, Lizard on the right)

There was some confusion with our last bracket so we wanted to clarify that the only criteria for these polls is to vote for which one you like over the other!! We'll have silly titles just because we like coming up with any kind of connection between unrelated things, it's what we do

SO, all that being said, we're looking forward to getting this bracket started!! Expect to see the polls tonight (7/1)!! Links to all of the polls will be in the reblog of this post :)
