the rapid progression of the digital circus fandom is so interesting to watch unfold. like. i dont think its popularity is undeserved?? like i didnt personally think it was that funny, but its really well made and i liked all the characters and the presentation was cool. i can see why it went viral. but even when it comes to viral sensation-type fandoms i dont think ive ever seen Swap AUs and "who broke it" animatics showing up on my timeline when the media itself hasnt even been out for two full weeks yet

#like i mean. no shade here! as long as people are being nice and having fun im not gonna like.#tell people they're enjoying media wrong for wanting to make silly fanart of the show they like #its just so interesting. ive never seen a fandom move this fast before. normally this stuff comes after the well of content runs dry--#--and fans start getting bored. yknow what i mean???? its just. kind of fascinating.#bri talks #i dont think the show is an industry plant or whatever i really do think this just happened out of freak viral chance #its just so strange watching it happen

me: *seeing people yell about how they did Glintshore & Percy's death in the show*

also me: ..................anyway

#maybe its because its been fuck knows how many years since i watched 90% of c1 #but i actually find the way they're changing things up super fascinating #i have questions to be sure and i think they're all having so much fun watching people go THEY'RE NOT GONNA PERMAKILL PERCY ??#(they're obviously not going to leave percy dead)#but because so many things have been folded on top of each other to keep the pace in this several hundred hour campaign adaptation #idk! i just think it's neat! obviously we're not done with ripley yet so we'll see what happens there #also people being like “i didnt need a sad backstory for ripley” like that wasn't the most obvious vehicle to introduce the assembly #a lot of these scenes they're adding in or folding together are doing a LOT of work #the storytelling action economy is honestly astounding #like don't get me wrong i get why people are weirded out by it (i am too! It's strange!) BUT it's not being done carelessly #some of you lot just want everything done 1:1 when they simply do not have the time to be doing that #i think i might do a full write up of how impressive some of this is when the season ends bc it really is a mammoth task they've had #the legend of vox machina #tlovm #legend of vox machina #critical role #c1 #vox machina #lvm spoilers #tlovm spoilers #edit: to be very clear. i have been here since the very beginning. don't fuck with me lmao

having swap au thoughts. *slaps roof of claus* there's so much mental illness in this guy. im gonna blow up everyone in the room and then myself

#what if you felt unbearable guilt because your brother went missing in the two seconds you were separated #and you feel like there mustve been Something you couldve done to prevent it #if only you had stuck together. if only you hadnt let him tag along on your basically-a-suicide-mission in the first place #but none of those things happened so you go through three years blaming yourself #continuing to search for him because maybe hes still out there. and maybe exhausting yourself on an aimless search is a way you can atone #and then you're pulled into this big destiny adventure so your searching is put on the back burner #you're so busy doing important things and meeting new friends and there are points in your adventure where your heart feels lighter #and maybe you open up just a little about the crushing guilt you feel. and your new friends say it wasnt your fault #maybe you start accepting that your brother is really gone but you have to keep living your life #saving your brother was a far out dream but saving the world is something you have the power to do #so you try your best. so you dont fuck up this time #your guilt becomes the fuel keeping you going #and then at the end of your journey #you find out one of the biggest obstacles on your journey #the human chimera that you felt kinda horrified at and a little bad for even as you fought them #is your brother you've been mourning and agonizing over not being able to save #so um. The Guilt is even worse now #now he doesnt just feel responsible for his death. he Now feels responsible for him becoming this Creature Thing under porkys control #and in a lucas dies scenario. hoogh i cant imagine how claus would feel after that.......#however the thing that spurred this post was thinking about the lucas lives postgame scenario (it just got a bit out of hand lol) so.#your brother is alive and back home again and youre so unbelievably glad #but the guilt still creeps up every time you see how much hes Changed. physically and mentally #you had just started to accept the fact youd have to live without your brother but somehow having him back is almost just as painful #things cant just go back to how they were before. youll never be the exact same happy family as you used to be #its strange adjusting to having lucas back and its strange trying not to step on each others toes with their trauma #you cant help but be clingy because you couldnt bear it if he disappeared again under your watch #but nobody wants to be watched all the time especially when youre recovering from your brainwashed identity as an army commander #FUCK I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I WANTED TO RAMBLE MORE AUGH. THEY MAKE ME SO ILL. i swear its not all angst theres some lightheartedness in it #mother 3 swap au #mothfics

#i walked into a situation today where my mom was effectively already dead. effectively bc her body was and is still alive. still breathing #painful groaning purrs. but her mind was gone yesterday. my dad said he showed her a picture of the mountains i took that day and told her #i loved her and she smiled. thats what he said. maybe he was just being nice. or maybe thats the last time she thought of me. i dunno. but #the human body is an incredible thing. shes got a heart still powering a broken body. too full of tumors to function anymore. stomach #streched like a pregnant mother. it happed really fast and now its happening very slow #im somehow probably better off than the rest of them. i only got here for the aftermath of a downslide. my daily life will b least effected #i only really saw her twice a year living so far away and she didnt text much. didnt call often. so life wont change much ill just kno shes #not there. which is sad. but theres nothing to b done abt it. life goes on. it hasnt been all bad tho. its nice to talk to my family abt her #how incredible she was. bc she was. wish her mom wasnt here tho. she doesn't deserve to b here. my mom wouldnt want her here. she didnt want #her here. but anyway. i wish her body would just let her go now. so we can sleep. so this can be over. so she can rest #but even like this shes stubborn and resilient. they say it could go on for days but i hope not. may the universe let her rest shes gotta b #so tired after 10 years of this. but i have no regrets. she knew how i felt abt her. and i dont think she had regrets either. she did so #much up to the very end. went out on a high note without the burdon of knowing it was coming #i dunno. its just such a strange experience to watch the empty shell of your mother sleeping like a gurgling baby #unrelated

If I had a nickel for everytime Joseph Walker played a character that passionately preaches about a false diety (and wear very tall hats AND say "on earth" very passionately) I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but I just realised it happend twice

[Image Description: On the left hand side is an image of the actor Joseph Walker playing his role of the evil Royal vizier in starkid production's parody musical, Twisted: the untold story of a royal vizier. He is in the middle of his performance with a very passionate and slightly unnerving expression. On the right hand side there is another image of Joseph Walker instead playing as Ducker, a character from another of starkid's original works, Firebringer. He is in the middle of singing the mini song "Duck is Lord", and has a very (slightly overly) pleased expression: End of description]

#Yep Moore starkid brainrot are you really surprised at this point?#Mid way through watching firebringer noticed this and had to post it before I forgot #But actually it's so strange how there's a lot of things that happen twice in starkid and they're not even connected-#Eh its probably just me #starkid #team starkid #starkid twisted #twisted the untold story of a royal vizier #firebringer #starkid productions #Even funnier that they actually have even more in common

#i am so serious the worst thing that has ever happened to me is finding this one ohshc x creepypasta + reader quotev fanfic and i really #really loved it but then it slowly devolved in quality and then got an author switch and the new author didnt write an actual story or even #finish it and i am so sad but i dont wanna end on a bad note so i never finished it nor the chapters written by the first author i really #liked that it was no romance and focused on the relationships of reader and toby being like siblings and it was extremely weird but very #sweet that they were explicitly like toby was happy to join ouran/the host club because he was like i never got a normal hs experience or #got to feel like i fit in anywhere That is such a strange way of approaching it but i really liked that also its just funny in that uninten #tional 2010s fanfic way and also there wasnt unnecessary death until there was and i started disliking it. ofc i dont really like the chees #cake jokes (iirc there were a few) but also reader getting calls from the creepypastas was so cute and sweet i love when people agree that #they are like a family moreso than a business or like Realistically theyd hate each other nuh uh they are sweet stupid family Ok #i just love how genuine and sweet the relationships are and that the slender mansiob is so supportive and checks in on reader #you can read old ao3/quotev fanfics but watch out you will like them and they will never be finished #the solution.. is to do it yiurself…

Justice for jolyne wdym emporio defeated pucci

#can i say maybe i dont like where this is going bc i dont like the priest. like why not have dio do all this. i have to endure his boring #self while not having any motivation bc i still dont know why he wants to do all this bc that backstory doesnt justify anything #while dio is in the background and he has a motive to hate the joestars and create a world without them. idk #this is like light and near but unjustified #i would have prefered the priest resurrecting dio in some strange way than him doing all this i think #and i still dont like his powers ☝🏻 they dont make sense to me and the evolution doesnt either. how can you just flip stands.#also his rant about how he killed all his enemies... josuke and giorno are out there now lmao #retracting my statement they changed the opening but just this last episode #i do like the destiny stuff like the same thing happens in a new world bc of necessity and the whole plot has been about things happening #because it needs to happen but why does this reset need to happen??? why does pucci want it?? so everyone can be happy?? why??#literally nothing that happened to him has been the joestars fault. dio brainwashed him? ok SHOW IT #like the plot is okay but the priest doing all this makes no sense it could be anyone at this point #okay i get it now destiny is like gravity.... but his stands changing makes no sense still. the disc thing got out bc of the plant baby. ok #but the gravity just changed to something else entirely??? to time??#he kept repeating time and space but a space stand would be the hand. gravity is something else entirely #its not like velocity>acceleration or star platinum and the world velocity>time. that makes sense #gravity and time is like my stand makes anything into ice cream and then it makes things disappear #rant at this point but yeah #okay control. the priest wants to know exactly what is going to happen at all times to be prepared and evolve?? and why would dio want this?#weather report...... i mean it was meant to be #yeaaahhh emporio roast him #irene and anakiss ajdhaisjaisjakakakak #i might be crying but this doesnt change my pucci criticisms #the ending song..... incredible choice #i think i liked golden wind too much and i cant control myself and not compare #but pucci doesnt make sense to me here apart from being a priest and wanting to fulfill 'god's' purpose or whatever that means #so now there is a new world but with joestars but they dont have stands?? or just pucci doesn't exist (or dio)#so just the prison gang doesnt get them. but ermes didnt go to prison either. idk #talking tag #watching jojo

bg3 speedruns are pretty fun

#i like watching speedruns so my metric might be skewed but the four current categories #are all not unreasonable lengths to watch and i think theyre all p interesting bc they're just bonkers #though ofc a LOT of very strange stuff happens very fast using weird exploits but theres some explanation vids #by delphmoder on youtube that condense a lot of information very well and in an entertaining format i think #theres something very special though about the experience of watching a runner execute a complex setup for like three minutes #wondering where tf this is going and it turns out where its going is you can goomba stomp ketheric.

i hate knowing that i would be so fucking good at and have so much fun with GTA RP while also being physically incapable of even trying it out.

#krav talks #god is keeping me from doing GTA RP bcus they know it would completely take over my life and all i would do every single day is GTA RP #just watching it scratches an itch in my brain i can only imagine what actively participating would feel like #i just hope that when im finally physically capable of it its not like. completely dead and gone.#and also i mean. i could just. make a mute character. thats the main problem #but also that would limit my RP abilities so much #even tho i can type super fast typing does make me overthink myself #vs just talking in improv forces me to come up with something quickly and flows better #the one thing that ive always hated about RPG-types like fallout or sims or the like is that after the first playthru it gets sooo boring #bcus everything becomes so predictable #and mmos ive never liked bcus its so strange and uncomfortable to just see all these ppl around but have no immersive way to interact #but GTA RP and especially nopixel is like. EXACTLY what ive been looking for my whole life #i was obsessed with darkrp gmod servers as a youngin and loved the mix of practical mechanics with roleplaying #ive never been able to do tabletop rpgs bcus of my struggle with audio processing #and ttrpgs are literally 90% listening to someone explain whats happening #vs. roleplaying in multiplayer video games which just let me SEE whats goin on so i'd just have to ask ppl to repeat what they said #rather than asking a game master to repeat what they just said but theyve spent the past 5 minutes explaining the situation in detail

Ok we realize we just wrote like a whole tag essay about this but we just realized that we can pare it down to "either no or no but in a way where people probably still talk about thinking theyre hot anyways".

#we speak #its like when beetles will preferably mate with glass bottles over other beetles. but like when the beetles are sapient #and fully aware that the thing that they are trying to fuck is. in fact. a glass bottle.#we know we are talking about sex a lot as a factor in conventional attractiveness but like. listen #we are a fool & you need to understand that we're like. trying really hard not to sum it up to that one post abt like #“slamming my dick full force into a pussy painted on a stone wall after watching the roadrunner fuck it with ease”#emulate the exact experience of trying to seduce a hunk of carved stone but the king orders it to leave halfway through so it just. goes #gone. vanished. you will never see it again. also it didnt notice you were hitting on it probably it just thought you were weird #it hits in that space where its so Very Sexy it wraps back around to being completely and totally sexless. That Thing Is A Barbie Doll.#this is what happens when we (aroace) get an interest in figuring out wtf the Attraction Deal is btw. we have much knowledge #we use it in strange ways but we have it for sure

Does anyone else occasionally see a news update from someone and just turn into a feral animal over it? Asking for a friend

#its me im the friend #and by someone i usually mean an ex lol #i decided to check if they are still alive (they are!)#and its the pettiest thing. like the most petty thing ever #i get angry when an ex watches a new show before i do. hence another reason not check on them #this happened years ago with high school of the dead of all things #i ended up not watching high school of the dead until like a year ago because i was angry they beat me to it like 6 years ago #and yeah i finally watched it and it was so very terrible. kinda glad they got that one #back when i still spoke with them regularly (we still talk but its rare now) like 6 years ago #they mentioned that they were going to watch deadman wonderland so i stayed up long hours for like a day or two #and just binged the hell out of deadman wonderland so they would not beat me to it lol #deadman wonderland was also subpar. my ex does not have great taste in anime #but today i found out they watched two shows (one of which i finished a few months ago and one i havent started yet)#and unlike before these are actually good anime not subpar 6-year-old mainstream anime lol #no offense to people who like high school of the dead or deadman wonderland. they just werent for me #i actually found deadman wonderland somewhat fascinating but the anime fell flat. i plan to read the manga one day #i should also clarify that by feral animal i just mean im grumpy. im not going to say or do anything about it #i'll probably either watch the anime out of spite very soon or refuse to watch it for several years. we shall see #also in other news my ex unblocked me? yeah it the ex that blocked me randomly a few months ago and then undid it right after #it was all very strange. like i said we still talk. we havent fought. i never start conversations they always initiate them #except in special circumstances. i did reach out recently for work related reason because i had a problem that aligned with their job #i did not mention anything about the blocking and neither did they lol. i guess we are pretending it didnt happen #so i have had 3? exes block me only to unblock me a few weeks to months later? why is this a trend #why am i still awake at three am you ask? ANGER #thats half a joke. i am already over the anger with my ex beating me to the shows but i am angry for unrelated reasons #reasons that have to do with another person once again breaking our appointment after they promised we would talk today #they were a complete no show. im rather annoyed by it. but alas~ that is life #im tempted to delete this post because its really just venting but i find the wording of the post itself to be kinda funny so it can live #neo rambles #neo complains in the tags

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place #where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was #when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll #and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and #evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys #between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's #water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk #and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road #but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood #and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in #the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings #but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree #as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert #and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a #little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha #but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da #one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here #but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature #bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes #so it goes i suppose #unrelated #listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol

You know that bit of year eleven where you've finished all the content for the courses you're doing but it isn't quite exam season yet so it just feels like you're in limbo... how from the very start of the year I just felt like I was waiting for the 15th of May, to start the exams I've been prepared for since I was four... all the threats and practice and now it's real and it's like you just can't process it, something that has been nothing but a looming shadow for so long is suddenly so real and just around the corner. Full circle. It'll all be over and my mind just can't figure out what to do with that knowledge.

licensed anime games becoming my new niche interest very quickly did you know theres a one piece baseball game for the gba. its only in japanese but its kinda fun its baseball i dont know whats happening at all. also the music kinda fucks

#im also just obsessed with having one of these games be someones sole knowledge of something cause they are such strange adaptations #like they dont really introduce characters or tell much of a story youre supposed to already know what happens #theyre designed to be played by kids whove watched the show or whatever so its So much to play them with no context #maybe analogous to my sole experiences with a few series being just the lego game versions and man those are so. you get nothing #so interested in games as adaptations actually that might just be the base of this
