#is this what it is like to be a star wars or resident evil fan

[thecryptidart1st]

I am so happy over the Tales From The Pizzaplex Books being canon

GGY my beloved<3

I’m glad that at least Steel Wool is using the canon of the book lines at least more consistantly than Scott did (and actually validating which ending we are on. The Sammy debate however will continue apparently ;A;)

Personally, I think the FNAF games should stand on their own without doing “homework” to understand the significance of the ending of a DLC story, but I’ve been in the fandom too long, I’m tired of theorizing, and I’m too stubborn to sit down and read ALL the FNAF books

And yet I’m still here analyzing every second of new content from Ruin and wearing every available Hot Topic FNAF t-shirt at work. If there are free PDFs available, I will try and fight my ADHD to read them

What if all the boys fight for reader’s affection?????

Seven Minutes in Heaven is all I Need When I get With You

Summary: Yandere TEC are fighting for your affection. Things will get ugly

TW/CW: Yandere behavior, obsessive behavior, stalking, harassment, cyberbullying, trolling, mentions of self harm, implied murder, mentions of stabbing

A/N: Thank you so much for the request! I hope you realize how utterly insane this would be and I hope you have witness protection on your side <3

* Pookie…do you have a death wish? Like, there are much more humane ways to kill yourself than having these 4 yandere incels after you

* The first to crush was Josh. He saw you holding a Star Wars comic and was about dismiss you, until he heard you talking to your friend about the franchise in general. It was weird seeing someone other than him this passionate about one of his favorite franchises, and the way you looked while talking about it…

* He tells Jerry about this, cause he really has no one else to tell, and absolutely can’t deal with these feelings. His description of you is almost erotic (especially the way he’s breathing heavily and getting giddy talking about you)

* Jerry looks at you while you’re going through your locker, and “hubba bubba buck!” You’re the real deal! He can even see your “Akira” and “Dungeon and Dragon” posters in your locker! He’ll be staring at you while you chat with your friends, and looking so pretty while doing so

* Jerry’s immediately stalking your profile and trying to gain as much information as he can on you. He’ll feel absolutely elated if you posted pictures of yourself, and would zoom in to get every little detail about you and make sure it’s seer in his brain.

* Meanwhile, Josh’s writing down all of the possible “love letters” he thinks of giving you in his journal. These letters often consist of graphic details about his fantasies and how you check all the boxes of them.

* For Pete, it was during the school’s movie club. He pulled out “Carrie” as his intro film and you were so intrigued about the film. You came up to him later and gushed about the film itself. He probably dismissed it, thinking you were a fake horror fan because “Everyone knows about Carrie”

* However, let him follow you to your locker and show off your reviews to the goriest films. Maybe talk about “Cannibal Holocaust” “Rosemary’s Baby” “Evil Dead” “Suspiria”, all the likes, and he’ll be sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about you like his final girls

* (Fuck, he probably started to carve your name in his wrist, but got caught and pretended it was an accident)

* At this point, Bill’s pissed. The club members are starting to actively avoid each other (mainly because most know that they would absolutely kill one another if it came down to it) and is going to confront you, in hopes you “Leave the club alone” and “Not destroy fandoms like the normies have”

* …he starts to get it almost immediately, and is going feral at the thought of you

* The club has officially disbanded. If they were hunting for the affection of the same person, being in the same presence of them will result in a full on fist fight

* They will absolutely sabotage each other. Jerry will dig up any dirt he can on the other members. Pete’s about to send very disturbing “gifts” to their residence and non stop calling the members so they’ll be distracted. Fuck, he may even stab them outside of school. Bill will use his status of the club and threaten any embarrassing moment they have done throughout their decade friendship will be exposed if they do much as be in the same direction as you

* Josh would be the most passive. He has so much to loose, and shockingly would focus on being more of a “secret admirer” (stalker) than anything. It doesn’t work cause the other three will target Josh the most

* Could they team up? Maybe in pairs. Particularly Pete and Jerry I can see. Pete would work with the real life stuff and Jerry would do the online bullying. This is one of they were interested in sharing a darling. If not, the other can go fuck himself.

* They will never confront you in school, but would stuff your locker with gifts and letters. You have to get a new one cause it’s getting to the point where the amount of gifts and the nature of them is disturbing you (don’t worry! They’ll find out the new location soon enough)

* Stalking would be the worst. They would take four corners of the sidewalk and follow you around (especially to important locations) (invest in body guards)

* I can see this ending in them in an actual brawl to the death. Whoever kills the others can have your affection (the police will arrest them)

* Move to another state; you won’t survive this ordeal

I have today off and I feel like posting some my favorite Warhammer 40k lore facts for my mutuals who are new to the franchise. Maybe they'll help with your own headcanons and writing.

You've probably seen that the majority of humanity in 40k live in gigantic, overpopulated, and pollution-clogged hive cities across countless worlds. If you're a Cyberpunk 2077 fan, you already know what life is like inside a hive city. Night City itself is only a tiny fraction of the size of a 40k hive city, but the living conditions for the majority of people are largely the same. The average person in the 40k universe lives in a dense urban environment with regular day jobs, local entertainment, pubs and sporting events, families, etc. The pollution and environmental conditions can be awful, but most people just live with it because they have no choice.

Holy Terra is completely unrecognizable as the Earth we know of today. It's one giant hive city like Coruscant in Star Wars. The air is dreadfully hot at all times, day and night, and difficult to breathe. A single missed shipment of offworld food and water can starve millions of people to death. Families can spend entire generations on religious pilgrimages to set foot on Terran soil and see the Imperial Palace. Centuries can pass between someone getting the necessary money together to fund a trip to Holy Terra and her descendants actually landing on the planet itself. From orbit, Holy Terra is a sickly brown color, choked in clouds with spires and space elevators connecting to countless orbital structures.

Space travel is not a common thing for the average Imperial citizen. A lot of people don't even know that alien species are real at all, they only know what is spoken in religious texts and whatever history lessons are taught at local schools. If an average Imperium resident can name a xenos species, it is most likely the orks.

There are memes and edgy writings online that say the Imperium is this brutal right wing ultra conservative government that demands humans only have sex for procreation and all forms of personal expression are banned. This is not the truth! While the Imperium is ABSOLUTELY the most brutal, fascist and evil government in human history, it actually doesn't give a shit about people's sexuality/gender identity/etc. As long as a person is human and they serve the God Emperor, that is all the Imperium cares about. There are plenty of humans in the galaxy with families who keep the countless numbers of humanity growing. And some adeptus mechanicus forge worlds clone people by the millions to keep their factories running. (games workshop themselves had a make a statement about this a few years ago)

20,000 years before the 40k setting, humanity was one of the dominant species of the galaxy. They had extremely advanced technology, to the point that anything you could imagine could be done, was actually done. From advanced genetic engineering to weapons powerful enough to destroy entire solar systems. It's all but confirmed that the navigator gene is artificial and was developed during the dark age of technology. During this time, the Eldar society was in collapse, so humanity rose to fill the void. But just as humans were in absolute dominance over the galaxy, Slaanesh was born and began the long slide into darkness we know today.

To this day, seeking out certain relics from this period is one of the adeptus mechanicus' primary directives.

Hi, I just read your post about Weskennedy and I wanted to ask if you think that Wesker had a thing for Rebecca/was attracted to her? Personally I hope it's just an easter egg and joke but I am really unsure regarding this :/

hi! hello! first ask on this blog ever! so thank you!

i want to start this off and say: i don’t care if you ship wesker x chambers, or if you hate it with a burning passion. i’m not here to engage in ship wars because i think that’s harmful to fandom culture (again: as long as it’s legal).

but, on to my thoughts!

i do firmly believe the photo thing was an easter egg, i’ve seen people say that’s confirmed by the creators. but also, let’s acknowledge how resident evil was made to be before i even dive into characterizations!

resident evil, when it was made, put a STRONG foot down by having nonsexualized lead female characters, in a genre that didn’t really… do that at the time. rebecca and jill, even claire upon the time of the OG re2, they weren’t put in any horrifically sexual situations, despite most horror around that era thinking sex + scared women = good shock value that caters to male crowds. resident evil just… didn’t do that (they kinda went downhill as they gained more popularity, evident when death island was released and they kept jill “young looking” in a clear way to up her sex appeal to young male audiences). back when the first few resident evils released, the creators were like, “ok, we want this really cool story. we’re going to do this story, and we’re going to execute it WELL.”

and in a time of strong misogyny, that’s what set it apart from other horror games in general. and people can argue whatever they want about that, but it’s very clear that resident evil, at its start, wanted to create horror and plot twists and STORY without the use of cheap shock.

and i know someone will be like “well the rebecca picture was fan service! it was awful!” and i’ll just blink at them because if they think THAT’S fan service then i hope they NEVER even look at video games from the 2010s and on. even when you get a clear view of the rebecca chambers photo, it’s like… just a photo of her in a mildly revealing outfit or whatever. there’s nothing super sexual about it, like yeah the pose may be a little weird or whatever but if you’ve EVER been on a sports team especially in high school and college, the poses are usually made for… fun? there’s professional photos and fun photos and team photos, and the one of rebecca is very clearly a fun photo. god forbid a teenager be comfortable and confident, in an outfit that may be a little revealing but isn’t at all meant to be perverted.

(and tbh, people who look at that photo and decide it’s gross get a really bad side eye from me)

even aside from like… my rambles on this time period and such, whatever, easter egg blah blah blah…

i mentioned in my wesker post (and even vaguely in the one before that) that i believe wesker doesn’t really care to have emotional connections with other people, so to say he has SEXUAL feelings on top of that? for someone who isn’t even on his main team? for someone who he clearly doesn’t care to keep alive? yeah… alright… i’m sure??

so like, to summarize: no, i don’t think for even a second nor do i have any doubt that wesker liked rebecca. i don’t even think the creators had that in mind when they placed that there. if anything, the placement makes me wonder if wesker just did his research on the people he worked with.

he didn’t put her on the primary stars team, and he had no issues barely acknowledging her and then SHOOTING her. in my opinion, he does not care at all for Bravo team because they’re kinda like easy throwaways while Alpha team remained his ideal test subjects. i honestly don’t even think he cared much for rebecca outside of knowing her name + her specialty because all of these people were never meant to live past the mansion incident.

also, not to mention, even after rebecca escapes with chris and jill— he does NOT care to remember rebecca at all. he grows obsessive over chris and jill because of his like weird complicated dynamics with them. like if anything he had a thing for chris and jill.

sighhhh… sorry for this huge ramble! on to my like… finishing thoughts. you can dislike wesker all you want, i don’t care— but if you say he’s some like pedophilic creep i’d rather you don’t interact (not directed at you! i believe your question came from a genuine curiosity). like you don’t have to like wesker, but if you lack media literacy and call him some pervert… when (in my opinion) he’s one of the most asexually coded characters in resident evil EVER… i’d love to never interact! i’m not a wesker defender, i love to point out how fucked up and evil he is because a good story, especially in horror, can NOT be made without an antagonist, and wesker is done in a way that makes him complicated and fun to analyze! but i will never, not for a second, EVER say he’s a creep or a pervert or whatever. it’s just not true to his character and it makes no sense for anything ever, and if you have that as your headcanon or write that out then YOU’RE weird as hell for that.

the actual summary: no, i believe albert wesker does not have any attraction or “thing” for rebecca chambers.

Wife Goals Post-Mortem

Man, I love referring to something as a post-mortem. It's so needlessly grim.

I hope you all enjoyed Wife Goals! I will most likely never do it again. And if you didn't enjoy it, hey, good news, I will most likely never do it again! I put entirely too much effort AND emotional vulnerability into this silly fan project and, uh, yeah, probably gonna be a one-off.

So I'm gonna be indulgent one last time and mention some ladies who didn't make the cut.

Stella Richmond from Scarlet Hollow was soooo close to getting in. She's an incredibly well-written character and I love her very dearly, and not just because she allowed me to live out the fantasy of being asked to brunch by a wide-hipped brunette lady only for it to turn out to be an elaborate ploy for her to convince me to be her camera-man while she goes cryptid-hunting. The only reason I didn't include her in the lineup is that Scarlet Hollow is currently unfinished, and, like... with ladies like Karlach and Edelgard and, you know, The Princess (whose game was made by the same team as Scarlet Hollow), SO MUCH important stuff is revealed about them when the story wraps up. So much of what makes Karlach meaningful to me is how her arc finishes off in Baldur's Gate 3, and with how well-written Scarlet Hollow already is, I have no doubt that the ending is going to make some very important moments in Stella's arc (as well as those of the other characters). So Stella's gonna have to wait for her game to be finished before I can gush about her to the same embarassing degree I did with The Princess - but if I ever do a Wife Goals 2, she'll be on the shortlist.

I watched a lot of Teen Titans when I was a teenager, and as a result Raven from that show is just as near and dear to my heart (and formative to my romantic tastes) as Ryoko Hakubi and Hexadecimal. And she's definitely a well-written enough character that I could gush about her in detail - but she's also, y'know, a teenager, and it feels really icky to include a teenage character in something called Wife Goals. She's more "girl I would have crushed on in high school" goals. And while I feel it's perfectly normal to, like, have fond nostalgic memories about someone you crushed on when you were a teenager (real or no), we're on the Piss on the Poor reading comprehension website, and I don't want to give ammunition to the five or so people who hateread my blog and look for reason to crucify me because I talked shit about Star Wars once or whatever.

Alcina Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8 is one of my favorite character designs of all time, and I love that we finally got a mascot monster in that series who's a big scary lady to go with all the big scary dudes. But while she is given some personality and motivations, there just isn't that much to unpack with her. She's an evil murder monster, she loves her daughters, she's loyal to her creator, and she bickers with her fellow boss monsters. That's basically it. All of my feelings on her could basically be summarized as "Tex Avery Wolf Reaction Gif."

So that's a wrap on Wife Goals! But what did we learn? Well, I think I can sum it up with this video I found:

[dorkicon]

📋 okay, I’ll take the bait. Favorite villains across all media, and why?

anon i have to be honest, i wasnt quite sure what to do with this one. i think i probably couldve added more, but this spread is already ridiculous enough as is. i also limited myself to just a few tf guys. lol.

erm...behold.

and just for the hell of it...i WILL tell you why!

TIER 1:

hal9000 (2001): canonically did nothing wrong. he was confused. technically a villain though i guess.

jason voorhees (friday the 13th. you know who jason is.): idk man hes just. hes cute to me. hes fun. you should read that texas chainsaw crossover where he makes friends with leatherface

rampage (beast wars): i am worlds number 1 crab defender. they expected him to become a monster, why was everyone so surprised when he turned out like one 🙄

TIER 2:

self explanatory if youve followed me for more than 3 seconds idk what more to add.

TIER 3:

deathsaurus (victory): sometimes it takes a man to be a failwife. idk i just really like his look. mister handsome.

TIER 4:

wesker (resident weevil): i love wesker. i have such a soft spot for villains who take their shit deathly seriously. COMPLETE. GLOBAL. SATURATION. i think i couldve put him in the bisexuality tier. lol

garthe (knight rider): david hasselhoff wore a fake moustache and goatee to play his evil twin. they just dont make tv like they used to.

cykill (gobots): megatron hardware running beast wars megatron software. why does he sound like that. also couldve gone in bisexuality tier but if i sat and explained it to you id sound insane

skeletor (he man): Skeletor.

cobra commander (gi joe): bisexuality already saved him in the gi joe animated movie idk. hes like if starscream led the cons and megatron was stuck as his sic. very funny scenario.

TIER 5:

char (gundam): watch chars counterattack if you dont know what im talking about here, i guess

magneto (xmen): hes another one whose villain status is...eeeh. but i like him. he and charles make up and kiss like every issue theyre in together. dont fact check that. just trust me.

dr doom (marvel): he carries a wallet sized picture of reed richards in the bifold he keeps in his idiot metal pants

ichijou (kaiji): well, considering how shit went for him, bisexuality couldnt have made it any worse.

TIER 6:

megatron (beast wars): i fucking love bwtron lol. particularly before the final season, where he has his little power trip. i think hes a lot of fun, and im perfectly happy not sympathizing with him. hes a bad guy n he loves it. so do i, lol.

dukat (star trek ds9): ugh dukat suuuucks. hes so smarmy and SO convinced hes in the right. so i love him hahhah. i think marc alaimo is just a wonderful actor too!

tsurumi (golden kamuy): i gotta admit, i think like...its really easy for "smart" villains to fall flat if the story isnt there to support them. luckly, golden kamuy fuckin rocks. and lt tsurumi is scary as hell lol

ash (alien): 'i cant lie to you about your chances...but you have my sympathies." ....AAAAAHHH!!! so cold. and cool. hes probably the scariest thing anyone can be...a capitalist.

AM (ihnmaims): huge fan of the voice work in the bbc audio drama honestly. such a misanthropic little freak. (big freak?)

TIER 7:

jungle hunter (predator 87): idc okay. he looked COOL. WOOHOO. what a fucking beautiful creature suit, right? and the face animatronics? good god.

Q (star trek tng): i think its funny how he fucks with picard okay. again, probably not a full villain. but its MY list.

honorable mentions:

sunder, straxus: well. i just forgot to add them until i already had the damn thing made okay

i almost added johan from monster and reinhard from lotgh but i reached my limit of blonde men already with char and wesker. ryo devilman was another casualty. edit: I ALSO COULDVE ADDED FUCKING OCELOT MGS

umm...oh, i dont know. hannibal. from hannibal.

[timbit-robin-art]

aside from DC and marvel, from what I mostly seen on your page, what other show, comic, games, ect are you into?

Maybe it’s because it’s really late right now, but I find it funny that I open the app and caught someone in real time sending an ask. Imagine me reaching through the screen and grabbing at you. Gotcha.

So, while you can get a general sense of what other things I’m in to from my little Meet the Artist doodle (pinned post), the icons are a bit small so only eagle-eyed fans can spot their silly little interests. So I can get into it a bit.

I’ll get it out of the way that I generally like anime a lot. I have a love-hate relationship with a lot of it, like Naruto and Attack on Titan, but there’s some a fully love. Houseki no Kuni is one of my favorites. Though I’ve found the most rewatchable anime for me are the goofier ones, like Attack Junior High, Saiki K, Life Lessons With Uramichi Oniisan, Buddy Daddies, and (my most recent favorite) Monthly Girls Nozaki Kun. There’s a lot more that I like, it’s just we’d be here a while.

(Fun fact: my all-time favorite anime character is Hideyoshi Nagachika from Tokyo Ghoul.)

Then there’s the reoccurring Calvin and Hobbes that I’ve mentioned a couple of times here. It’s how I learned how to read.

I really like FNAF, but only 1 and 2. I also like drawing them in an 80s cartoon style, like the Garfield and Friends cartoon (another thing I like). While we’re talking about cartoons, I really like Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, Pink Panther, Scooby Doo (of all varieties), and a lot more.

Back on horror, many people don’t take me for the type, but I really like it. It ranges from Saw, Resident Evil, Faith: Unholy Trinity, The Walter Files, Marble Hornets, and much more.

I guess other things I find worth mentioning are Star Wars, Detroit: Become Human, Sonic, Psych, Voltron, Fire Emblem, rhythm games, and (arguably the most important) Ninjago. Edit: I just remembered another important one, and that’s Dino Squad. I’m also a big history fan, but I don’t know how you guys would feel about Lafayette fan art.

You will sometimes get a rare non-DC/Marvel drawing from me, but I try to space it out, as I know people see me as the DC/Marvel art blog. And I don’t say that as a bad thing, either. DC/Marvel is my number one hyperfixation, closely followed by Ninjago. I have been obsessed with these things since I was very young, and that means I’m also cursed with making art of them.

(But that won’t stop me from cursing you with my other interests every now and then, mwah ha ha.)

I hope this answers your question. Sorry if it might not be coherent. It’s very late, and I’m a yapper.

Some of the Fandoms I'm In

╔══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╗

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! In my last post I started off with an introduction of myself and the type of content that you can expect from my Tumblr. In that same post I mentioned that I would be making a new blog about the different fandoms I am in. Before we begin, let me start by saying that this post is probably subject to change due to how my hyperfixation is at times. I could be wildly posting about Star Wars and then there may be a content shift to Resident Evil. This blog is just for you to know what fandoms I am in so you can further decide if you want to follow what I do. In the event that this post is lost or too wordy for some, I can always come up with a Masterlist of sorts. This blog will be separated into 4 sections: Actively Engaging, Loosely Engaging, Lurking, and lastly,  “It’s Been a While”. I will always be a part of different fandoms and even if I distance myself from certain fandoms due to my own reasons, I still may have OCs that may pop up from that fandom in future posts. Not every fandom I am in has OCs associated with them. Also, this listing is not being ranked at all so just because one fandom is listed as number 1 does not necessarily mean that I am placing it the highest. I will also be listing some reasons why it has been a while since I have interacted with said fandom as usually it is because I have “left” it behind. So, let us begin:p 

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

Actively engaging is my current hyperfixation hence my focus is mostly on the fandoms listed below.

╔══《✧》══╗

✦Infinity Nikki

✦My Time at Sandrock

✦The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

✦Love and Deepspace

✦Resident Evil 8 Village 

╚══《✧》══╝

Loosely engaging is me still being involved with the fandom but not being my main focus.

❉╤╤╤╤✿╤╤╤╤❉

✿My Time at Evershine(The game isn’t out yet but I am very aware of the crumbs being shared on Discord haha)

✿Final Fantasy 8(Recently started playing again, hehe)

✿The Legend of Dragoon(My childhoooooood)

✿Kirby(Star Allies, Forgotten Land, Return to Dreamland, etc)

✿Splatoon

✿Minecraft(Does this count as a fandom? I grew up with YouTubers playing it and Story Mode)

✿Final Fantasy 8

❉╧╧╧╧✿╧╧╧╧❉

Lurking is me not really interacting with the fandom but still liking the media it is associated with.

╔⏤⏤⏤╝👀╚⏤⏤⏤╗

👀Fire Emblem Awakening

👀Fire Emblem 3 Houses

👀OG Barbie movies

👀Star Wars(Skywalker Saga, Clone Wars, Mandalorian, etc)

👀Bayonetta

👀BustAGroove

👀Literally any KPOP group, specifically BTS and Dreamcatcher(Ik they do not count as media per say but I’m still a fan haha. Maybe the next post is the music groups/artists I listen to)

👀Sid Meier’s Civilization

👀My Happy Marriage

👀SpyxFamily

👀Disney(Princesses mostly but love the classic movies among newer ones)

👀Marvel

👀Octonauts(Love that show sm)

╚⏤⏤⏤╗👀╔⏤⏤⏤╝

This category is going to be a bit lengthy because I want to state my reason(s) for why it has been a while since I interacted with or was “apart” of the fandom.

╔══ⓧ═════════════╗

Ⓧ My Hero Academia

╰┈➤ I fell out of the fandom at first because of the toxicity I received in a now deleted Discord server where having an OC x Canon ship was controversial. I finally “left” after a little bit of when Season 7 came out just because I felt burned out.

Ⓧ Attack of Titan

╰┈➤Spoiler warning, you have been warned: Sasha was one of the main reasons I was going to take a step back, Hange was the cause. Those two were my favorite characters but I did power through and finished the show. I just haven't interacted since it ended.

ⓍCookie Run: Kingdom

╰┈➤I played up about after the BTS event, I think? It could also be for Linzer Cookie, but I am not 100% sure. My cookies weren’t getting past a boss fight so I took a step back because I had to grind. Color me surprised at all the content added into the game, much to the point I felt overwhelmed. I also had to uninstall it for storage unfortunately.

ⓍFire Emblem Heroes

╰┈➤I played since almost the beginning but I stopped after the beginning of Book 5 because of the amount of stuff I needed to pay for especially with the new updates introducing more and more characters. The story also felt a little wacky for me, but I still love my man Alphonse for saving me multiple times throughout the campaign and trying everything he can to get me back fr fr.

ⓍGenshin Impact

╰┈➤Played since the start of the Inazuma Arc and stopped right at the start of the Caribert due to extreme burn out. Despite how much I loved the lore, I never found motivation to go through Caribert, Fontaine and now Natlan. I only logged on for Kazuha’s birthday mail rewards and that was it. I did also participate in the boycott a few months back due to Natlan’s lack of diversity and accurate portrayal of some of the cultures it was inspired by, but that was not my main reason for not playing anymore. It was mostly because of burnout and constant artifact grinding.

ⓍHonkai Star Rail

╰┈➤Played since launch but then took a really long hiatus around the Fyexstroll Garden Arc due to me leveling grinding because the that stupid deer boss. I did return briefly to pull for Acheron and Boothill but I have not advanced the story to Penacony as I only just unlocked Jolted Awake from a Winter Dream Arc. I was able to pull for the two characters due to events and just luck.

ⓍWuthering Waves(This may be subject to change though)

╰┈➤I took a break after the Jinzhou Arc completed and picked up other games while waiting for new updates. I may get back into it due to the new character Brant releasing as well as the new areas I have yet to unlock.

Ⓧ LEGO: Ninjago

╰┈➤I stopped watching after the Ghost Arc just because I was very busy with school back then and when I picked it up again, the designs changed and so did the storyline. I do not mind the direction being taken but I am just not sure if I can keep up with the new lore especially since some just felt out of place.

ⓍLEGO: Nexo Knights

╰┈➤Fandom is a bit non existent as it was overshadowed by Ninjago and was mostly seen as the "reason" that Ninjago was on hiatus(At least back when I first watched it). The cliffhanger was amazing but I am sad that we never got another season of it. I also have no clue if the fandom still is active or exists elsewhere.

ⓍWinx Club

╰┈➤I remember watching up until Bloomix Arc and then putting the show down because Hulu did not have any other seasons. Came back and was like wdym there’s other transformations and whaaa. I just felt burnt out in all honesty.

Ⓧ Mr. Love Queen’s Choice

╰┈➤ I took a hiatus because the storage got way too big for my phone at the time and when I returned a lot of stuff was pretty much behind a paywall. I heard there’s like 3 seasons now with about 42 chapters each, no idea if that is completely true but I lost a lot of motivation especially when my fully leveled up cards and company level still were not enough to get past levels. It got incredibly grindy too and the dailies were hardly enough to level up cards, ascend them or even make pulls unless you saved for months.

ⓍSuper Mecha Champions

╰┈➤I enjoyed playing the game despite never playing a battle royal before but I took a hiatus but before I could get back into it the servers shut down. I was a pretty good sniper in that game and I used Cherry Ning as my character and Alborada as my mech.

ⓍZenless Zone Zero

╰┈➤I took a long break from the main story but I don’t really know why I completely “left” this game. I enjoyed the storyline but I guess I was burned out from it?

╚════════════ⓧ═══╝

If you made it this far, thank you for taking your time to read through everything. I most likely forgot a fandom so please forgive me if I post an OC or artwork and never mentioned said media origin. I also apologize for how long it took for this post to come out. I am a college student so I do not always have time to write posts. I try to write them out first before posting just so I have a general idea. I have no idea yet what my next post will be or when it may be posted but I guess it is a surprise? Maybe just maybe it will be a list of all the men I simped and used to simp for? That post may take way longer than this one, lol.

14, 16, 17, 26, 29 for Elafi, Fifi and Tigri :3

Hi!!! OMG, these are a lot of questions!!! Answering took some time, but here they are!!! (from this random oc questions):

14. What types of characters would they gravitate towards in fiction? drop their kinlist

Elafi: He likes characters who, like him, are guided by their hearts, do the right thing, and strive for the greater good, overcoming all kinds of obstacles to stay true to themselves. Some characters that come to mind are: Pure Vanilla Cookie from CookieRun Kingdom, Xie Lian from Heaven Official’s Blessing, The Little Prince, Jonathan Joestar from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Nausicaä from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Ofidia: Fidi likes clever, creative, and interesting characters, just like her, those who solve their problems using wit rather than fists. I'm sure she’d find characters like Sherlock Holmes and MacGyver entertaining. She also loves strong and beautiful female characters, such as Jolyne Kujo from JJBA, Galadriel from the LOTR trilogy, Nadia from the otome The Arcana, and the entire female cast of Arcane.

Tigri: This guy is a fan of muscular men, strong in physical power, character, or development. I imagine him being a huge fan of JJBA (Dio is his guilty crush). He also likes characters like Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, Dante from Devil May Cry, Shanks from One Piece, Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, and Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

16. What makes them like someone instantly?

I decided to answer this from a purely romantic or sexual attraction perspective:

Elafi: He doesn’t know what he likes, he’s never liked anyone (so far). If you asked him right now, he’d give you a vague answer like, “Someone who’s a good person.”

Ofidia: She likes girls who are intellectually interesting and have big boobs (just being honest).

Tigri: He has a tendency to want to protect others, so while he’d love to date a big muscular guy because that’s a huge turn-on for him, he could also deeply connect with someone brave and interesting whom he feels the urge to protect.

17. What artistic medium would they be best at? (painting, photography, sculpting, etc.)

Elafi: He’s quite patient, so he might excel at time-consuming and detail-oriented crafts, like sculpting or wood carving. He doesn’t know how to do any of them yet, but he’d definitely be open to learn if someone taught him.

Ofidia: She’s very good at drawing. So many years spent locked up gave her plenty of time to practice. Her favorite thing to draw is clothing designs, but she’s also skilled at drawing realistic portraits of people and animals at a pretty solid level.

Tigri: I don’t see him having the patience for any kind of artistic activity that requires long dedication, but he surely enjoys seeing what others can create. He’s more into video games and sports, though he’s the one in his family who takes the best photographs.

26. What would their Youtube recommendations look like?

Elafi: Gardening tips, healthy cooking recipes, fun facts about animals and plants, hour-long compilations of animals doing adorable things, lo-fi music for sleeping and reading, yoga videos, and chakra-unlocking frequencies.

Ofidia: Fashion history, sewing and pattern-making tutorials, speed-paints, skincare (and scale-care) tips, current fashion trends, design and color theory breakdowns, and empowering girl playlists.

Tigri: Tons and tons of gameplays, video game analysis, basketball game replays, fitness and sports care advice, narrated horror and supernatural story compilations, meme videos, and his favorite MVs.

29. What’s a memorable moment from their childhood?

I’m considering childhood to be the stage before they became chimera children during puberty:

Elafi: The first time he went camping with his parents in the mountains and saw the starry sky in all its glory, completely surrounded by nature.

Ofidia: The time her grandmother let her use her sewing machine and she made her first dress for her doll.

Tigri: The first time he went to an amusement park with his parents and rode a space-themed roller coaster. That’s when he discovered his love for adrenaline rushes.

author what other fandoms are you currently on?? perhaps the devil may cry, silent hill, evil within (underrated masterpiece, it's like a mix of silent hill and resident evil), barbie, etc etc??

omg yes okay so aside from invincible, i’m always bouncing around in the batman/superman/spiderman corner of fandom. they’ve honestly been comfort characters since forever!! i just really love the emotional messiness and all the complicated hero stuff, i never really get tired of it. also i’ve been a resident evil fan since i was a kid, and fun fact i’ve actually 100%’d every single game in the franchise. like… all of them. it’s honestly kind of embarrassing how much time i’ve spent running from zombies, but i loved every second. and same with star wars! i’ve been into it since i was little, and funny enough i’ve always thought vader was more attractive than anakin. like idk what it is, maybe it’s the voice or just how intense and composed he is? meanwhile anakin’s over here spiraling and yelling, and vader’s just like “i am the problem.” it’s weird but it makes sense in my head

[lesbianwyllravengard]

1, 7, 10 for whichever fandoms first come to mind for each 🧂🧂🧂 hit us with it

Ask game

1. What OTPs in your fandoms do you just not get?

I'm not in the dbh fandom anymore but I will never understand markus x connor and I will never ever like it. get that cop away from my wife. also in star wars I will hate r*ylo to my dying days get that ugly ass manipulative genocidal maniac away from my wife

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

Same as you said I used to like haIsin but now I can't stand his ass. fandom mostly ruined it for me but also the more you keep him in your party/talk to him the more it becomes clear he's a completely spineless ass whose personality is fan service which means he's a centrist by design with some lowkey fascist views on civilisation and I just can't stand him . and he's mean to Shadowheart :(

I also used to like chris x leon when I first joined resident evil but then over time I was like this is just boring as hell and the ppl who ship it tend to just like that two white guys are together with no further thought process to either of their characters . so I don't like it at all anymore

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

I will always hate the final Qunari arc of act 2 of da2. what do you fucking mean these people I've grown rapport and respect with I now have to kill because the writers don't know how oppression works. I hate that part forever

oh also can I say the D-Squad arc from star wars the clone wars. most boring most insufferable clone wars episodes in the entire show. only redeeming quality was Gregor and he's barely in it

Introductory Post

Hello there.

We’re really struggling to stay focused while writing this post, so please bear in mind that changes are very likely to be made at a later date.

Most of this was written by Red because he is the only one able to really keep things together while we on and off dissociated the entire time. Hopefully everything reads well because we are struggling hard to focus on any of the words in this post. ( You’re fuckin’ welcome - 🥀 )

We also might make a smaller intro post later that has the basics and links to this one because it’s so long on it’s own. We also want to eventually make rentry's or other posts so we can trim the fat off of this one

- _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ -

The Basics :

We call ourselves The Cavern, but calling us Cactus or Shark works too, since that’s our user

( Those two words were blurted by someone(s) in headspace when I asked what to name the system, so now we keep it immortalized in our user as a joke )

We are an OSDDID system

We are bodily an adult and use he/him collectively

Our body is transmasculine, collectively "Gay as Fuck", Demisexual & Aceflux

We are AuDHD

We are always open to general asks / questions, though keep in mind we can still choose not to answer

( Questions specifically about the littles will be monitored closely and they will not be directly responding, ever. Keep things appropriate, using the attitude that you are essentially asking a sibling/parental figure about their kids )

I am always open to learning. If I genuinely fucked up or got something wrong, bring it to my attention (preferably in a non-combative way). I tend to not always get things right away or come off strongly because of how ASD impacts my thought process and digestion of information

- _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ -

General Language Preference :

We switch between I and We interchangeably because we are currently more blurry or generally unaware of ourselves more often than not

We use alters/parts and system to describe ourselves

We do not want to be called plural or multiple

If applicable/possible, we would appreciate tone tags or translations of typing quirks if possible so that we don’t misread or misinterpret a situation

- _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ -

What to expect from us :

We decided that we are going to use this blog as a journal of sorts

That will include our ideas, questions, concerns, general takes, and/or other things that we can participate in that we find fun

We are also using this blog as a way to find and connect to other systems while we go on this journey of self discovery

We might make hyperfixation posts here and there, depending on how we feel about certain day

We will post only when we are comfortable or want to. We block and curate our experience to make ourselves comfortable

We will not try to actively engage with syscourse on this blog. That being said, we will absolutely defend ourselves or reiterate a point if you start shit first

We won't always sign off on posts

- _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ -

Boundaries :

Basic DNI like homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes, ableists, terfs, and other bigotry/racism/sexism

Endos/Non-traumagenic systems, tulpas, and the like

People who sexualize age regression ( I don't want you anywhere near us, or our littles. Stay the fuck away - 🐅 )

HP, DSMP and MHA fans ( I have had bad experiences with these fandoms and wish to not interact with them )

Fakeclaimers in general, if possible. The whole territory is a mess and I’d rather avoid it altogether

Minors interact with caution. This blog has 18+ themes sometimes and it's best if you interact carefully. Please do not DM us if you are bodily under 17.

Keep in mind that the roles we give are also completely arbitrary and aren’t concrete. They could change or be removed per our preference

😇HALO😇

If you saw my Bloodstained concept, here's "Halo" and you must see why. Meet my other OFC inspired by an exclusive character from "Teen Titans", she's a nephilim and born blessed as a cherub by her mother. I was mostly inspired by Castlevania's complete game saga "Lords of Shadow" for the Brotherhood of Light and the Paladin for the golden armor...that gives me the clear opening for this OFC.

Due to the connection of angels, I'm also bringing some major elements of artificial species like Laguna saints, true Nephilim, and more humanoid bird creatures in the mix. Using Shadowhunters, Lucifer, the Sandman, and other series...I'm constructing the heavenly flames of Adam's bloodline by using the Secret Garden of Eden and the forbidden golden apples. Lucifer | Samael Morningstar aka "Samuel Magne" will be part of Raven's family as a stepfather, he'll name her as Rachel Aurora Roth and be her father figure while Constantine and Epiphany become her godparents.

Her biological father is Fel Andar or "Angelo Lopez" as the gender-bender version of Angel Lopez, a villainous Thanagarian from DC Comics and archenemy of the Hawk Aerie. He's a fusion of Warhawk and Golden Eagle to form Icarus for poetic justice on the DC Comics character. My OFC's mother is a mixture between Elaine Belloc and Unia to create Mother Divine (Unia | Margaret Strix).

This is Liandra | Julienne "Julia" Lopez aka Fallen Angel, she wields like the Nth Metal her former mentor Hawkwoman and has a history of war crimes like her father. Julia's big sister figure will be my first OFC villain named Ellie aka Penumbra, we've seen the romantic dynamic between Kid Wicked and Angel on "Teen Titans"...making my OFCs best friends was the best option. This image will bring me some complex of feelings like amazement and bewitchment at the fan art.

I wanted to give my OFC's family a magic background inspired by an OC of rolandwhittingham | roland010 from DeviantArt, choosing his OFC Unia was the best option as a seraphic archangel and a big contrast to DC's demon overlord Trigon. I chose that for the main inspiration for my OFC's mother and renamed Julienne Lopez's mother as Unia | Margaret "Margie" Strix.

Heading into the case for Zatanna's mother, I figured something out for Sindella while reviewing the Jewel of Gravesend and seeing the purple hair. K0raKumori's art style looks magnificent and on point for me to get some necessary details on Zatanna. I chose the species "Faeries" cause Zatanna did have witchy vibes on her concepts and any comic written by authors.

This will give Zatanna the backstory of having an actual fairy as a mother and a Magen as a father. I chose the terms changeling and halfling cause that's what mundane fairies are called due to those certain union between two different species. I'm using the 2019 series "DC Super-Hero Girls" for Zatanna's appearance from the superhero costume to the whole complexity of the Magic Maid and her faerie heritage.

Zatanna got witchy vibes like Luna | Seraphina Spellman aka Spellcaster from "MaliceInTheAbyss", Rhiannon | Modesty "Misty" Kilgore the Silver Sorceress/White Witch from "DC Comics", Heather Hopewell aka Charmcaster from "Ben 10", Willow Halloway from "Wiccan Project", Viola Redgrave the Untested Firebrand from "Bayonetta", Miriam the Demon Huntress from "Bloodstained", Eclipsa Butterfly from "Star Vs The Forces Of Evil", and Shanoa from "Castlevania" to bring out some magic in the form of blood. I got the faerie form, the crystal curse, and more to revamp the species Croatoan and named the Limbo Town residents of that world as Sheeda Faes.

Sindella Starr was born a purebred faerie of the Seelie Court due to the Medulla Jewel, her faerie name was Maeve, and she's from the Avalon Forest at the Twilight Realm on the Fair Lands. Her parents are King Oberon and Queen Titania with Puck portraying as her betrothed lover she hates the most. She gave her crown up and became Sindella Starr after being gifted with the Medulla Jewel.

══════•☽✧✦✧☾•══════•☽✧✦✧☾•══════•☽✧✦✧☾•══════

Ever since I made Ellie, I left out information on countering Raven's magic against her cause vampires can also be night creatures and infernal demons...this main idea to let the dhampir fight off a cambion works well cause they both represent darkness. It's the same way with a nephilim and a halfling, I would've made Jinx half-genie like Shantae by the way and put some elemental twists to this Indian sorceress...it's still happening.

My OFC was truly inspired by Elaine Belloc for the Nephilim part, but her ancestor will always be Adam and Eve through Abel since Seth continued humanity for both of his parents...Cain's a sinner for murder. Cain will portray as Samael and Lilith's child aka Charles "Charlie" Lucien Morningstar, and Abel is Adam and Eve's daughter Abigail Bree Garland. Kali | Michael Demiurgos has children named Cal & Elaine Belloc, though it's still about my OFC...period with her golden halo cause that's my winning cherub prize.

I was a fan of Kid Icarus for Angel Land, so that leads up to the concept of Lady Palutena's angel wings as a divine goddess and gave her a Castlevania cameo for the Brotherhood of Light. Her partner in crime was the late Charley Parker, who she dated until her motives were revealed and got her locked up into Belle Reve for her crimes while failing her mission as a spy for the Council of Light. Julia customized the Thanagarian weaponry and armored gear with holy water to enhance it against demons, which led to meeting Asgard's Valkyries of Valhalla to be reborn as a villainess named Fallen Angel...Greta | Paula Von Gunther aka Warmaster's inaugural apprentice by honor and faith.

Not every angel is good and not every demon is evil...this Nephilim OC is always bad and our favorite Cambion of DC Comics is always good on her own terms. Enjoy this video that describes Julia's whole concept and theme song. Sayonara guys, and have a great day.

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.

REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!

NAME: Theia

PRONOUNS : she/her or they/them

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : Discord please! It's faster and it's easier and it has a lot of extra functionalities for both chatting and roleplay. I don't mind the tumblr DMs but they are very unreliable and more than once I've experienced not being notified that somebody messaged me or vice-versa.

NAME OF MUSE(s) : Itachi, basically. However, on discord I've dabbed a bit at writing Kimimaro, Temari, and Rock Lee mostly for fun with friends. And I suppose I should mention I also write muses in other fandoms? Though the Naruto hyperfixation has been real as of late, but yeah, I also have muses in Star Wars, Fullmetal Alchemist, Resident Evil, and several Final Fantasy games.

BEST EXPERIENCE : I would say it's that moment you look at a reply from your partner and 1) you are in awe at their writing and portrayal and wondering how did you get so lucky to write with someone so talented, and 2) you can't wait to get to replying back, no matter how long the thread may be, and in fact you find yourself having so much fun with it and getting so engaged that you easily write back twice as much.

RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : Uhhh I would say it's probably to feel that my partner isn't as invested as I am. For example, if we agree to plot but I'm the only one suggesting ideas and coming up with scenarios, and all I get back is short replies or something generic like "I'm okay with anything". Or if we have a ship together (doesn't even have to be a romantic ship) and I'm the only one coming up with headcanons and sharing stuff that reminds me of our muses. By all means, we don't need to talk/ plot/ roleplay every single day! I get very busy myself and sometimes go radio silent. And, as someone who's autistic, trust me that I know very well the feeling of being socially awkward. But roleplay is a partnership and requires mutual investment. If I start feeling like I'm the only one excited about our muses and plots, that's gonna make me feel like I'm annoying you and, in turn, that's gonna be the fastest way to make me withdraw from it.

MUSE PREFERENCES: I have recently confirmed that my muse type is Tall and Handsome and Full of Trauma, and occasionally also full of eye gore. But also I am very drawn to "accidental" heroes, heroes that are heroes not out of a prophecy but because, within their limitations, they choose to do what is right and what is needed. And I am also very drawn to big brother figures?? A lot of my muses seem to end up adopting orphans and/or raising other people's children lmao.

PLOTS OR MEMES : I prefer plotting because, from my self-experience, non-plotted interactions get dropped far too easily (either by myself or by my rp partners). That said, I am also a big fan of letting the muses talk and choose what they want, even if it may go against something previously plotted. And I don't think this is incompatible with memes? I do love memes and they are super good for breaking the ice between people who never wrote together! And also super good to provide new scenarios with which to plot and develop upon.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : I have the tendency to write a lot, so I'd say long replies? Which doesn't mean I'm not interested in short ones! Especially because, sometimes, my brain is too mush to handle the long stuff so it's nice to have short ones to get some writing done. I just find it that, with muses like Itachi who rely heavily on introspection, it really is easy for me to get into it and write a lot more than originally planned.

BEST TIME TO WRITE : Whenever my brain is not dead from work, I guess. As of late, it's been a lot easier for me to write during weekends for this reason. I care a lot about my replies and I don't like to give back half-assed stuff, so really the best time is whenever I can sit down, relax, blast some music, and get to writing.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : I am definitely a nerd like Tachi and his perfectionism + obsessiveness come from my own. We are also both introverts and we both often occasionally have... trouble to keep a normal conversation going lol. And, honestly, we are both idealists.

What's the worst legacy sequel you've ever seen? What, in your opinion, separates a good legacy sequel from a bad legacy sequel and what's the worst thing you think a legacy sequel can do?

The worst that I've seen is probably Rise of Skywalker. It's close competition, though - both Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion have moments that are significantly more stupid than anything in Rise of Sky Walker, but I also think both have a bit more creative effort put into them - Fallen Kingdom has that third act where it basically becomes a Resident Evil adaptation except with a murder-saurus in place of the Tyrant, and Dominion has the whole locust plotline which, while terrible, is at least an unexpected direction for a Jurassic Park sequel to go into that tries to figure out something ELSE you could do with the genetic engineering premise of the franchise beyond just making dinosaurs. Like, all three Jurassic World movies have big problems and they get progressively dumber with each installment, but they're also all ambitious to some degree that I still feel respect for, even if they never really actually reach those lofty aspirations.

Rise of Skywalker, on the other hand, has no ambitions at all. It has nothing it wants to say, no unique twists to pull, no real identity of its own. It's a potroast made of leftovers from better movies, a resuscitated corpse of something much more interesting, patched together like a Frankenstein's monster and abandoned to a cruel world just as callously.

It has no desire to do anything new, merely a checklist of Things You've Seen Before That the Focus Groups Say You'd Probably Like to See Again. Any character that can be slipped into an arc that was done in a previous Star Wars film is slipped into one no matter how little sense it makes for them, and any character who can't is either forced to tread water with nothing to do (hi Finn!) or just quietly shoved off to the side early on and forgotten about (hi Rose!).

Any story beats that weren't in the original films are simply grabbed from a box that reads "time tested cliches to keep your script moving with minimal effort." Make the plot a treasure hunt so we can just race from scene to scene with the flimsiest justification possible and try and trick the audience into thinking something is actually happening! What's that, audience interest is flagging? Quick, throw in a cameo of someone from an older movie! What's that, they're bored again? Pretend to kill one of the old characters, but make sure to reveal they actually lived in no more than two scenes down the line, or else we might piss off the fanboys! Hey, let's look at the Cinema Sins videos for the original movies and see if there's some gripes we can "fix" with this one for added fan cred! Can't disappoint our audience!

It's the story-telling equivalent of smothering something in salt to cover up the funky taste of the close-to-the-expiration-date ingredients.

As for what makes a good vs. a bad legacy sequel... ok, so, let's define legacy sequel first. A legacy sequel is a film or TV show that is a sequel to a popular film or TV series that ended a good many years ago, which brings back some of the old cast of characters (generally played by the same, and thus much older, actors that played them in the past) along with adding a new cast of characters played by younger actors. It tries to replicate the tone of the original series despite being made in a different era and probably by different writers and directors, and generally aims to give you that Ratatouille style moment of nostalgia.

I think most Legacy sequels are kind of doomed to be mediocre at best on the outset because the goal of them from the moment of conception is so mercenary - they're not created to Tell A Good Story, they're created to Keep Consumers Invested in a Lucrative Content Franchise. They have the artistic aspirations of a McDonald's Hamburger - "This tastes exactly like what you had as a kid, and doesn't that make you crave more of it?"

I don't think that art made for mercenary reasons is doomed to be bad, mind you - I mean, almost ALL movies and television were made to make money first and foremost. Even the classic High Art movies I love like Seven Samurai and The Third Man were made for mercenary reasons at the end of the line - it didn't stop the people who were working on them from having artistic goals, but it's a fact nonetheless.

But Legacy Sequels just have an uphill battle in the "artistic aspirations" department, because most people with artistic aspirations don't want to recreate the feeling someone else inspired with their art - they want to put their own stamp on it, their own spin, their own voice. And that will often mean something VERY different will be made, something that might piss of the fans - something that doesn't taste like the McDonald's hamburger you had as a kid, even though it came in the same wrapper.

The worst parts of Legacy Sequels are the only parts that Rise of Skywalker is made of - the parts where the story is clearly only trying to show you things you know, only trying to reheat the leftovers so they taste like your memories, only trying to trick the nostalgia center of your brain that you're four years old again eating at McDonald's. "Here's the thing you know! Here's the running gag you liked, repeated five more times by actors with far less enthusiasm! Here's the same basic premise as the first film, but the stakes have been inflated to make it feel like a progression! Cameos! Catch phrases! Eat your hamburger, you consumer pig!"

The rare good legacy sequels don't really TRY to be legacy sequels. They're just... sequels. Another story in the same world as the first, bringing back the characters who actually have interesting arcs left in them, creating new characters with their own shit going on who have good chemistry with the pre-established characters and setting, expanding on themes from the original and exploring parts of the setting that hadn't been explored yet, and all in all telling their own story that's related to the first one's but still manages to be its own distinct thing.

There are not many good legacy sequels, because a good legacy sequel is different than the McDonald's hamburger you ate when you were four, and might make less money than desired because of it.
