#yall made a victim bitter and hate everyone. congratz ig. keep convincing yourself its somehow activism.#me saying a slur i shouldnt have in 2013/14 bc the ppl around me irl normalized it to me and that repelling people online from me?#understandable. everything else? yeah you can all fuck yourselves with a rake.#plus- that was literally 11/10 years the fuck ago. do you really genuinely believe in all of that time that im still fucking saying it#the only way you could believe that is if you thought I was some sort of secret strategic right winger whos planning ???? something#god the fuck knows what it would even be#if you think im somehow tainted bc of that past I think you might be a lil controlling of a person#im sorry no one is a pure person who never does wrong. get over yourself bc you sure as fuck arent perfect my good bitch#it was 11/10 years ago AND i was a fucking kid. yeah. i think im bound to make mistakes bc of the inherent ignorance of being a child.#i dont think that deserves to be held against me my entire life especially since I now heavily disagree with the reasoning for why#i thought it was ok to say in the fucking first place#yall just want an eternal punching bag and thats really it.#i could become a fucking saint and it wouldnt matter bc dur he said bad word 11 years ago worst thing anyone could do ever fer sure#yall are impossible to please and its why no one but the people you've guilted and manipulated gives a fuck about trying.#and even they eventually see it for the bullshit it is.#yall want someone to control and do everything you say. not for people to become better to others. you dont give a fuck#you auth piece of shit.#thats why i had to learn that slur was still bad to say offline. bc all the people online wanted to do was control my actions#tell ME what to do. tell ME what to draw. when they have no fucking right to TELL ME what to do. you can ask- im more receptive to being#asked to not do something. but any type of behavior control? good fucking luck. you think I failed highschool just bc of the bullying#n shit? nah its bc I dont like being ORDERED to do shit. and I never fucking will! and theres nothing anyone can fucking do to#make me do shit and if they try to force me to do shit they're controlling as fuck and authoritarian.#i have learned SO MUCH more on my own volition and desire to learn vs when I was TOLD that I HAD to.#all my life ive rebelled against this shit. you bet your ass im not about to stop with yall. ask me like im a fucking person#not TELL me to do something like im a fucking slave to your whims.#fuck you

mutual 1: see the thing about obi wan is that even if he could get pregnant he would do a force-abortion on himself because he believes that strongly in adoption
mutual 2: do you think matt damon was seething and coping when j-lo dropped "dear ben" or do you think matt and ben were still hooking up at this time? essentially if the album dropped in 2002, the bennifer engagement is nov 2002-january 2004, and matt gets married in 2005,
mutual 3: my ebay bidding war for paul reubens's spit in a jar is going really well due to the psychic attacks i've been sending to the other bidder
mutual 4: local authorities wont let me into this abandoned hoarder house in rural wyoming. dies horribly. #i love drunk driving
mutual 5: listen ive studied rpf for years you dont understand. the homoerotic undercurrent of britpop is a different breed than what george and bob had going on. theres a playful aura facilitated by the early 90s
mutual 6: i am going to pound philip seymour hoffman into the ground so lovingly
mutual 7: im doing crazy things to davy jones pussy over here
mutual 8: thinking of writing my thesis on the evolution of rpf #no don't look at my lb diary yes i watched 10 martin & lewis movies this week
mutual 9: you see robbie and bob were having on and off trysts ever since robbie stopped him from killing himself in 1966 but it took martin scorseses tender devotion to show robbie how unhealthy that was
mutual 10: thankfully neil young started estrogen in early 1970. otherwise she never couldve made harvest
mutual 11: how minutes of semi-truck sound effects do you guys think i can play on my radio show before people start tuning away
mutual 12: put this post underwater sorry. but i just feel so angry when people post about their mutuals like they're people they never talk to. i've moved to different countries three times for my mutuals.
mutual 13: [picture of orson welles and anthony perkins laughing on the set of the trial] do you think they ever fucked #hot! #who said that
mutual 14: i think i could fix norman bates if we got married and adopted the eraserhead baby together.
mutual 15: [picture of a computer fucking itself]
mutual 16: m sooooo girl drink drunk daveeeeee

mutual 19: you don't understand. walton goggins isn't just gay in the show. he also walks gay in real life. you have to understand this.
mutual 20: im going to kidnap mike stoklasa and only release him when he makes a post coming out as bisexual

WEEKLY POLL
Hi guys! Hereā€™s the weekly poll! A new one for u gusy to pick us out btw
Sorry for the short post, idk how to elaborate on words
Tending to Arlecchinoā€™s wounds
Tumblr media
TAGS: mentions of blood, gore if you squint, fluff
CHARACTERS: arlecchino, mentions of Freminet
10:31ā€¦
11:04ā€¦
12:57ā€¦
2:00 AM.
You stayed up the entire night, waiting for your lover, Arlecchino to arrive to the hearth.
You had been living in the hearth with arlecchino ever since you two started dating, and you donā€™t mind. You help the kids, help her and just like being there in general.
Lately, sheā€™s been out on more missions. Which is normal, but the thing is, itā€™s not hee missions. She orders kids in the hearth to do tasks but lately, sheā€™s been more busy doing it all on her own.
You get worried, seeing how injured the kids look when they return from their mission. Arlecchino by their side, supporting them with blood on her face and trousers.
ā€œArlecchino!ā€
You exclaimed, when she came home at 2AM with an injured Freminet in her arms.
ā€œGet him to the infirmary. Now.ā€
She demanded, giving you a barely conscious Freminet.
You ran to the infirmary, whispering soothing things to the boy.
ā€œShh shh itā€™s okay, just a bit longer. No passing out okay?ā€
You said calmly, as you brought him to a bed in the infirmary.
ā€œNurse!ā€
You called out, before seeing a bunch of nurses treat him.
ā€œWheresā€¦ f-fatherā€¦ā€
He looked for him, with a look of fear in his eyes. Not fear that he might die, but fear of failing the mission.
ā€œThatā€™s not important!ā€
You held his hand, before the doctors told you theyā€™ll need to put anesthesia and perform surgery. They couldnā€™t allow you in the room.
You panicked, but you had to leave.
As you left the room, you saw a trail of blood.
Thatā€™s odd
You thought, seeing the blood trail past the infirmary.
You followed the blood trail, only for you to hear a groan.
You then realized.
ā€œArle-!ā€
You ran into hee room, not bothering to knock, to see her in the couch, blood all over her stomach, dust on her face and laying down with a med kit next to her.
ā€œā€¦ā€
She simply stared, trying to sit up but wincing softly.
ā€œIve been trained for it, I can handle it.ā€
She says with her normal nonchalant tone, looking at you in surprise when you started getting the things for the wounds.
ā€œā€¦.hmā€
She observed you closely, watching your hands shake in fear that you might lose your lover.
ā€œā€¦may I?ā€
You said, tugging her shirt.
She nodded, as you saw the amount of cuts in her stomach. You ran your hands over the open wounds, Arlecchino grunts.
ā€œI can take care of myself, go to bed y/n.ā€
Arlecchino was strong, she always took care of her own wounds. She didnā€™t like others seeing her wounds.
The moment you started cleaning her wounds, she didnā€™t know how to feel. She never had someone worrying over her, or at least she hasnā€™t for a long time. She just watched you, staying silent and still.
From time to time, you could tell she was in a lot of pain. It wasnā€™t through her looks or actions, but something you couldnā€™t name.
During these times, she closes her eyes, just letting you treat her. You panicked at first when you thought she went unconscious, but she taps her fingers on the couch to reassure you in a way.
When you finish, itā€™s just silent. She doesnā€™t know how to react, she was raised to be a soldier. She didnā€™t know how to thank you, so instead she just nodded her head as thanks.
ā€œā€¦.I appreciate the gesture.ā€
She stands up, gives you a kiss on the forehead.
ā€œLetā€™s get you to bedā€
BEFORE YOU GUYS SAY SMTH LIKW ā€œthis is so mischaracterizedā€ ā€œomg arle tsundere???ā€ NO. YUCK. EW. JUST READ THE HEADCANONS BELOW
This woman is strong as hell, so she tries to remain strong even when sheā€™s weak
She got the habit of treating herself from the start, even when the previous knave was there
ā€œBut sheā€™s a strict and unfeeling-ā€œ SHUT UP. Yes I think sheā€™s strong but I donā€™t think that means she doesnā€™t feel pain at all.
Idt SHES the type to be like ā€œah-!ā€ Or jolt up in pain, instead she just goes ā€œtskā€ or has a light gasp.

REDACTED AWARDS 2024 šŸŽ¤ hosted by @plaqying
SO. I've been a lasko guy since I discovered the channel thanks to one of his audios back in 2021, which was his first hot boi summer.

2. There's not a single fucking day where I don't think about this man. It is CONCERNING
3. I can't shut up about him.

Unpopular opinion: people are looking at young!Rhaenicent with rose tinted glasses, it was never as ā€œsweet and innocentā€ as people make out.
Their dynamic reminds me of a less extreme version of Kizzy and Missy-Anneā€™s in Roots. On a surface level itā€™s an adorable friendship between two young girls overcoming racial boundaries, but once you delve deeper you realise how one sided it truly is.
Two things are very clear about Rhaenyra, even from a young age:
Sheā€™s a narcissist
Sheā€™s a Valyrian supremacist
As a result she never actually viewed Alicent as an equal, she was her lady in waiting who she was nice to but thatā€™s about it. She never viewed Alicent as her equal nor did she think it was ok for her to marry into House Targaryen.
Even in 2x03 when sheā€™s urging Alicent to end the war, it was abundantly clear her idea of peace was simply expecting Team Green to give up so she and Jace can take the throne. Then in 2x08 Alicent was stripped down to how Rhaenyra always saw her: the handmaiden with no titles and no power, ā€œhumbledā€ in front of Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen.
hi!
i did a big yap but lowkey i just deleted it and gonna still yap but less yap okay nvm not less yap it was more yap actually om
sometimes children are just children. Sometimes 14 yr old girls are just 14 yr old girls. Sometimes young teens are just young teens. What do I mean by this? I mean that Iā€™ve seen people say alicent was a master manipulator or that rhaenyra is e.g a narcissist and supremacist, and maybe in the future! But saying a 14 year old whoā€™s your average, flawed, non perfect, going to be immature and selfish at times kid is showing signs of narcissism etc i donā€™t think is necessarily correct. Young teen friendships and relationships have issues, because young teens lack maturity and communication skills. Rhaenyra loved alicent and alicent loved rhaenyra, for the first like episode before everything out of their control happened. it WAS a sweet and innocent relationship because it was a normal one between two girls of that age, (plus some romantic feelings developing). Was there times where rhaenyra couldā€™ve been selfish? yes! but i promise you we all have been selfish without meaning to at the age, not to mention rhaenyra was raised as royalty, extremely privileged even though she was a woman, which adds to the fact she may have lacked understanding for alicent but it does not mean she didnā€™t try. We see scenes of her showing empathy and trying to understand alicent, we see alicent do the same for rhaenyra. I understand how people viewed it one sided, but i promise ive thought about young rhaenicent a lot lol, and their friendship was just as important and meaningful to the both of them, alicent DID receive care and thought too, I know rhaenyra was a taker a lot but she did love alicent. Had their friendship not been interrupted from everything that happened it wouldā€™ve progressed as best friends from a young age do, slowly maturing together and understanding each other better, recognising each others struggles, etc. My best friend and I have been friends since a young age of like 10/11, were there times we fought? yes, were there times our communication was immature? yes, were there times we werenā€™t very nice or understanding? yes! but we grew, we learnt, we apologised, we AGED above a pre teen lmaoo. I love her and she loves me, sheā€™s so fucking amazing and kind and i love her which ive already said but its true, weā€™ve been there for each other, we always will be, unless she dies or I die, but if i die im haunting her and if she dies im following her to the grave and into the afterlife which i donā€™t even believe in. anyway not to turn this into my best friend appreciation post,, was young rhaenicent flawed? yes, i never said they were perfect but they were innocent and it was sweet to watch them giggle and hold hands and lie in each others laps. their relationship as they grow slowly sours (which i mention) because of everything that happens, but iā€™d like to imagine that if that never happened they wouldā€™ve been friends for a very very long time, and also maybe a bit homosexual ā¤ļø

AITA for turning off a plant light?
so i (25nb) have been staying at a friend of mines (A, 28m) house (which he also rents out to 3 other people, also friends of ours, B, C, and D) for a while now while i look for an apartment. i pay A $250 a month in "rent" which is a courtesy thing more than anything for internet use and to sleep in his living room and am not considered a tenant (plus no rental agreement or lease has ever been offered to me or signed by me). i also help around with household chores (dishes and keeping the living room and kitchen tidy).
in his living room he has this wall of plants set up on shelves with lights and the whole shebang. he has the lights set to 12 hour timers so they have their own sort of day/night cycle. where i sleep normally is a daybed in the corner so the lights dont really bother me when they turn on (around 9). he recently purchased a really bright LED that has a brightness setting that the package has to warn you to not look at directly even at low settings. its genuinely comparable to staring directly at the sun in the summer at noon it's so bright. this light is also on a 12 hour timer (comes on at 10).
here's where the problem is. when my girlfriend comes over the daybed is too small for both of us to sleep comfortably in so we sleep on the pullout couch... which is directly under the Bright Ass Light. we were up pretty late that night (4am) and didnt really want to be woken up by the light shining directly in our eyes so before we went to sleep i turned the light off. i planned on turning it back on when we woke up (around noon) but got distracted and forgot to. A came downstairs while i was showering for work and chewed B and my gf out for the light being off before he went to work. he sent me a message saying "don't touch my fucking light" a few minutes later and i responded by telling him that if it wasnt so bright directly in our faces i wouldnt have to turn it off. he told me the light was for a desert plant so it had to be bright and that i would just have to deal with it as it was non negotiable. i told him to put it in a renter's agreement if he wanted to make demands like that and he told me he would deal with me when he got home from work.
when he got home from work i asked him how work was and he responded by flipping me off, talking at me for about 10 minutes about how i had a lot of nerve telling him what he could and couldnt do in his own home, especially since i was (according to him) making threats and demands. he said it wasnt his problem that we wanted to stay up late so it wasnt his problem that we didnt get enough sleep because it was shining in our faces in the morning and that id just have to deal with it. B, who was in the room at the time, asked if A would like it if a light woke him up like that, and A said no he wouldnt, but that the plant light is different because "the plants need the light cycle". B pointed out that the light was only off for 4 hours, not the whole day, and that plants in the wild dont get that kind of exact sunlight. didnt seem to matter to A, since while he set the timer back an hour so it would come on at 11, he also said he didnt want me ever touching the light again. i was (still am) completely astonished by this whole thing because its... just a plant light. it wasnt off all day and it doesnt happen all the time (this is the second time ive turned it off, again because i was sleeping under it).
so... aita for turning off the Bright Ass Light?
What are these acronyms?

there is thunder in our hearts - this story came together so easily for me, like i knew exactly how i wanted to tell it from start to finish
the only hoax i believe in - a kfam fic in my top 5s why yes and i'll tell you why. because i poured so much of myself into this fic that they could probably read it at my funeral instead of a eulogy
traveling so far to get there - after party au raph and mikey continue to take up so much real estate in my brain and for what
now the darkness comes alive - this one is more recent but im so happy with the way it turned out :')
if we could stay all day in the sun - it was a lot of fun reimagining one of my favorite fairy tales and doing a bunch of unnecessary research for this story i will stand by it until the day i die !!
i'm tagging @mykimouser, @owletstarlet, @portgas-d-aroace, @mad4turtles, @camsthisky, @remedyturtles, @pickledcarrotsandradish, @swordsmans, @mangogreent, and anyone else who wants to !

2023 wrapped: cdrama edition!
taking a page from @dangermousie and doing an overview of all the cdramas i watched this year (i'll do one for kdramas later)! listed in order of least favorite to most favorite. favorite =/= objectively best/most well-made. just the ones i had the most fun watching.
15 have a crush on you. oh dear lord. this drama should be a case study for what happens when a bad drama has charismatic actors and they keep you trapped hostage. i watched this whole damn thing hating every minute of it on behalf of the poor female lead who definitely deserved better. the ending? absolutely batshit, and not in a fun way. one of the weirdest, worst endings ive seen since with you
14 back from the brink. too kitschy for me, i didn't last long on this one (i think 2 eps lol).
13 gone with the rain. i wanted to like this one because i love sean sun and troll general is exactly what i want out of life. but i didn't like the weird daydream asides, constant animal noise sound effects, and i found everyone kind of off-putting in a non-watchable way, so i peaced out really quick--ep 4ish
12 here we meet again. i love janice wu. i continue to try out her dramas hoping for something to grab me again. this one was pretty boring/too focused on the work element and not the rest of it.
11 exclusive fairytale. i have a secret weakness for youth-to-working-life dramas, so tried this one out. flat, not a lot of chemistry, and very color-by-numbers. the show was clearly made to vehicle jun, and that's okay, but not my thing
10 the starry love. i wanted to like this one because the side characters were fun and i loved the male lead/prince of heaven and all his awkward "please leave by 9" energy. but it bored me overall and unlike most folks i had no interest in the demon secondary ship. i dropped around ep 10
9 my journey to you. it kills me to rank this one so low because it was my most anticipated cdrama this year, but i just couldn't get into it. the pacing was too slow for me, and i couldn't stand how everyone talked to each other (long. pauses. and then. staring. and then. whispers. always the. whispers). i dropped this around midway
8 the love you give me. the chemistry between the leads was cute and it was a decent modern romance. started losing me around the midpoint when the paternity reveal hit and the ML got way into boundary crossing because of it
7 circle of love. objectively not a good drama. in fact, a toxic and batshit drama that has probably made me a worse person for watching it. but gd did my messy ass enjoy the trainwreck.
6 road home. you really got to be in the mood for this one, but it's a nice, understated and slow melo romance. but def not a bingeable show since it takes its time with everything
5 wonderland of love. another drama that i dont think is objectively great, but two competent schemers/martial artists trying to one-up each other is like ship catnip for me and this was a show that lived or died by its ship. surprisingly tame for the screenwriter, and had a happy ending! popcorn watch.
4 till the end of the moon. me and this drama were in a bad romance, which i suppose is thematically appropriate. i hated parts of it, i was super invested in others. the post-dream human arc was giving wuthering heights tragic obsession incredibleness. even with its flaws, i think most of cdramaland is in agreement that lyx/tantai jin stole the ML competition this year. great gowns, beautiful gowns
3 story of kunning palace. i adored the characters in this drama! even when the plot was losing my interest, everyone was cast so well and had so much charisma that i stayed pretty hooked from ep 10ish on. absolutely loved the mean high school theatre director wreck that was xie wei, as well as the other (imo) true love interest of the show, princess leyang. the desperate speech about being like iron is gonna live rent-free in my head
& then 1&2 are way ahead of the others for me this year/a very close race between them!
2 a journey to love. i love this drama so much!!! i have not skipped or speed watched a single scene which for me is a huge feat! great character work across the board -- even the side characters have a lot of nuance and interesting dynamics between them. beautiful fight scenes. great ost. one of the best, most balanced main couples ive seen in a show. it's gonna break my heart in a few eps when it ends, but i'll be happy about it
1 lost you forever (s1). this drama came out of NOWHERE and the vicegrip it had on me while it was airing!!! my favorite FL this year (although a journey to love's ruyi is a close second), and just a ton of fun while also being quietly devastating in parts. i loved how lived in and tired the FL felt, enjoyed the various flavors of mess from her love interests, and enjoyed how extra it could go while still giving us really grounded and complicated characters. this drama gets extra points for converting me on several actors i did not think that highly of before the show.
overall, despite how many i dropped (lol writing it out made me realize i dropped so, so many), cdramas delivered for me this year! my top two are on my short list for favorite dramas, period. everyone go watch a journey to love and lost you forever if you havent yet!!!
AWARDS
Favorite ship: definitely goes to ruyi and yuanzhou from a journey to love. it's just nice to see a couple that mutually supports each other's murders
Favorite FL: xiaoyao from lost you forever with ruyi from journey to love as a very close runner-up. i am here for this year's theme of competent, jaded ladies trying to reclaim their lives
Favorite ML: objectively, tantai jin from till the end of the moon should win this, but story of kunning palace's xie wei was just so entertainingly grumpy, petty, and unhinged which is a winning combo for me.
Favorite 2FL: princess yang ying from a journey to love. she's doing amazing and im proud of her!!
Favorite 2ML: technically third male lead, but xiang liu from lost you forever was my favorite to watch and had the best tuxedo mask exits
Best Cast: a journey to love, i literally adore all of them, even the ones i hate
Best Blood Cough: tantai jin, you beautiful bastard who needs a bib

Y'all ever....
Does anybody else forget how many fandoms they're in because they're in a bunch?? Like I completely forgot about BATIM and DDLC until I was watching someone's livestream and they put on songs so we could guess the fandom it belonged to lol. I also forgot about MLP until I saw more stuff about a game called Pony Town and various MLP infection AU's. Wait, how many fandoms am I even in? Let's see....
MLP
Dead Plate
FNAF
Creepypasta
DDLC (sorta, so I'll count half ig?)
BATIM
Harry Potter
The Riordanverse (so if we count the series', this is 5 fandoms within itself lol)
Helluvaverse (2)
Your Boyfriend Game (I DO NOT SUPPORT FUBOO, I just like the fan art and fan comics)
The Last Apprentice
Mouthwashing (I'll count half for this one. Jimmy has become a literal trigger for me after finding out what he did to Anya, so I usually avoid anything containing him)
The Owl House
Welcome Home
Pressure
ETM (Epic the Musical)
HOLY SH!T THAT'S 20 FANDOMS! WAIT!
Shadow&Bone
COD (counting 1/2 bc I have not played any of the games, everything I know about - mainly Ghost and Soap - is from the wiki pages)
DSMP
MHA (1/2 since I never finished the show)
Ghosts (That TV show on Prime? Yeah, talking about that. Technically counts as 2, since there's the British original and the American Version...)
Rise of the Guardians (Poor Jack Frost. This movie is an underrated MASTERPIECE. And yet everyone seems to have forgotten it...)
SO THAT'S 25 JEEZ!!!
EDIT: SCP Foundation, and Homicipher (Homicipher is 1/2 bc I've never even watched a play through but I adore Mr. Crawling and Mr. Silver). Doors (roblox) too. So what, that's 27 and 1/2?
Edit #2: TADC. Idk how I forgot it. So 28 and 1/2. I know I'm forgetting something else, but I don't remember what?
Edit #3: Amanda the Adventurer and sorta Poppy Playtime? (so plus 1 and 1/2). Also Trevor Henderson creations, so that brings us up to a whopping 31 fandoms. What am I doing with my life y'all...?
Edit #4: Baldi's Basics. So 32 fandoms and still counting. Paw Patrol (at this point, just counting every fandom I had ever been in). So 33. Piggy makes that 34... omfg, what have I done with my life? If this is not a clear sign I'm mentally unstable, tell me what is. Song of the Sea is 35. That's not my neighbor makes it 36... I need to stop and go save myself while I can....
Edit #5: Mushroom Oasis (Mychael is f_cking adorable. YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!!), so 37. Child's Play and the Conjuring (talkin' movies here), that's 39.
Edit #6: Last edit for tonight bc my brain hurts. Baldur's Gate makes it 40. Yes I'm counting it fully bc I'm obsessed with Kar'niss and Astarion.
Edit #7: Seriously the last edit. Pound puppies bring it up to 41.
Edit #8: IM SORRY! BUT BEFORE I FORGET... Monster High, TMNT, Bubble Guppies, Bluey, and so many Disney movies but I'll only count the Disney category as one. So that brings us up to 5 more... so 46. I NEED TO BREATHE, OH MY GODS-
Edit #9: Team Umizoomie makes that 47. I'll count Undertale as 1/3 since I still listen to some of the songs but never really played the game and only dabbled in the Fandom. Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond (Ive only read the first book, but I think it's a series? First book is 'The Serpent's Secret' by Sayantani Dasgupta) brings us to a total of 48 and 1/3 fandoms. My brain hurts so much I'm starting to get cramps....
Edit #10: Seriously last edit for tonight bc I have dishes that NEED to get done, plus laundry. But Octonauts and Wild Kratts bring us up to 50 and 1/3. Add Yandere Simulator and you've got yourself a WHOPPING 51 AND 1/3 FANDOMS IN TOTAL! (For now, until I remember another, oof...)
Edit #11: Coraline and The Corpse Bride. Gotta love Tim Burton. And the Nightmare before Christmas. Ik I said I would only count Disney movies as one whole thing, but... I'm counting these three individually. So 51 and 1/3 plus 3.... 54 and 1/3.

You like fanganronpas? If yes, which ones you like? :3
Ohhhh OHH I looove Fanganronpas. The only ones I've seen are Super Danganronpa Another 2 (i couldnt figure out how to play the first one :( i also just havent had much time), Danganronpa Despair Time, and Danganronpa Lapse. lunar ramble incoming
(will try to avoid spoilers for each fangan !!)
DRDT was the first one I saw, probably since I imagine it's one of the most popular, and ohh. I LOOOVE Teruko!! teruko they will never make me hate you. She and Whit are definitely some of my favs,, because. well. Who doesn't love Whit xD I also really like Nico :p I think they're sooo funny just. in general. btw chapter two had me in pieces thanks for asking
SDRA2 took me a good week to watch, and ill admit. i didnt finish chapter 6 (惎_ļ¼œć€‚) I was really sick when I watched chapters 3 and 4, and it didnt help that i was pulling all nighters because i was so hyperfocused i couldnt sleep. chapter 3's trial is unironically one of the most entertaining things Ive ever seen in any dr game AND fangan EVER. Like guys!! what is happening here!! that being said, I sort of knew who the culprit would be cus i was spoiled just a tiny bit, but I was STILL SURPRISED AT THE END cus ohhh my god. the twist. Sora is one of my fav protags ever btw I love yuri and NO not the character Yuri althohgh. he was really funny ill admit. He wasnt creepy in the Hifumi/Teruteru way and i really appreciate him for that. i also laugehd when they found him and he was like "Oh hi guys!" totally normally. dont get me started on... teruya and mikado ...... duuuudee they were actually tweaking literally what were they even doing. This fangan captured DR essence very well and took it a step further in an even more unhinged way, probably due to tbe lack of limitations on monetization n stuff, and honestly I APPLAUD that. i want what they have lowkey
Danganronpa Lapse is the one I played most recently and HOOOLY SHIT do not get me STARTED. ECHO!! ECHOOOO!!!!!!!!!! i was SO HAPPY finding a nonbinary dr protagonist you have no idea. and they were SOOO CUTE </3 DR Lapse is definitely a LOT shorter than any usual DR format and it deviated a lot, but despite that it still felt like a Danganronpa game and everyone there was SO. i was so in love with them. rip lyle you wouldve loved your turn to die. I do have to admit I was a little confused on the ending, but overall I really really enjoyed it. Also Zero was there and that makes it an immediate 11/10 thank you zero for accidrntally making me give you the funniest possible voice for your character
ok so it just hit me..now. BUT!! I have seen a little bit of Cartoons in Danganronpa!! I really really need to watch the prologue and..yknow...actual chapter instead of just watching the class trial and being absolutely blown away by every tiny thing. Theres a lot of characters in there I LOVE and especially seeing DIPPER GOD DAMNED PINES?? IN DANGANRONPA???? AND ERIC CARTMAN?? absolutely peak. funniest thing ever. but also i am so scared for the conclusion of that trial because the suspects are worrying. Also shoutout to Gaz for being the funniest one there . The artwork is so similar to their respective styles but you can still so clearly see a touch of the creator's own style and that really gives the entire fangan its own charm. The voice work!! Incredible. Thats another thing that hit me hard with DRDT TOO!! THE VOICE ACTING!! fuuuck it's sooo good ugh
another one is Ive seen the prologue to DR Mortalis Perpetua. I think it's a REALLY fascinating approach on the danganronpa style and I need to make the time to watch the new eps .. attention span please if you can hear me come back i need you
I love these fangans SO much and I love love seeing fangans in general. It's amazing seeing people's passions come to life, and i get SOO so happy whenever I see one. I adore peoples creativity, and even if it doesnt catch my eye, I still appreciate the passion and work put into those projects ^^悜悜(Ā“Oļ½€)Ā°ć‚œ
And honestly? I really want to make my own fangan. I do already have one, a crossover fangan with my girlfriend, but I really want to make one in a video game format. I know I'll probably forget about this in like a month or two, but I have always wanted to try and make games. That would mean, however, I have to teach myself coding... @_@; so Ive been on Scratch. and it's going great (ITS NOT ITS NOT ITS NOT ITS N
if anyone out there has any tips for getting into making games... please help. I have a very bad habit of overwhelming mysrlf ( ļ¼›āˆ€ļ¼›) and i need a starting point lmao
anyway we'll see. I fear I might need to start looking into ADHD medication

THE STORY OF THE 85 LOGO šŸļø
Since Yibo was spotted on the race track, the conversation around the logo is picking up again. This has been discussed so many times before & in bits and pieces but I want to give it a go and make my own version of itā€™s history. Itā€™s a mix of the logo itself as well as the cpn speculation surrounding itā€™s origin. Iā€™m not gonna talk about other related designer zz candies, this is only for the logo.
Tumblr media
I used this video by RčƒŒé å¤§ę ‘å„½ä¹˜å‡‰W as a guide on the timeline but i did my own fact checking and added a lot more points especially with Parts II-IV of this post.
I. THE ORIGIN
11/10/2018, Yamaha Racing Team weibo account posts the first look of the 85 logo. At this point, everyone already knew who this is supposed to be. Itā€™s also cute how the time it was posted had the timestamp ā€œ28ā€ which is Ai Bo, another clue.
Tumblr media
ā€œ driver number 85 is coming soon! ā€œ
1/19/2019, The same account officially shared that Yibo will be joining the MLT YAMAHA team for 2019 and Tracer 85 was born. Yibo also reposted this and replied with :
Happy New Year to all! ! ! ! ! racing career has begun! ! ! ! ā˜ŗļøā˜ŗļøā˜ŗļøPlease call me driver Wang Yibo! ! ! ! ļ½žļ½žļ½žļ½žļ½ž
Tumblr media
1/29/2019, the draft for Yiboā€™s Tracer 85 racing suit was released by the weibo account. It prominently features ā€œ85ā€.
Tumblr media
Now a key player in this whole designing mystery is DAINESE a company that describes themselves as: Dedicated to producing the most effective safety solutions in every arena where athletes continually push the human body and mind to surpass their prior achievements. From our motorcycle racing origins to alpine skiing, mountain biking, competitive sailing and outer space. So they posted about the racing suit itself as well as the helmet. Again, both things featured the 85 logo, along with other symbols that is an entirely different cpn on itā€™s own.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Itā€™s so obvious that a professional company will make this for WYB. Even if we CPN that the logo was made by XZ, or even a rough sketch of it and passed on to Yibo, down to this companyā€™s team to refine. There is just no way that XZ will write his name down as the owner of it, if we didnā€™t have that BTS video of their conversation about it then we wonā€™t have a confirmation. Even if we have that video, there is still the probability that XZ didnā€™t follow through.
Then someone asked the company itself about the origin of the logo and they said WYB brought it himself.
Tumblr media
The logo of No. 85 is not designed by us, it is brought by Yibo himself
Thank you for your support
If you look at the original post for the racing suit, the comments are all wf being so prissy about who designed it. I know that this post is supposedly about the 85 logo but the suit is a huge part of that. Also I think itā€™s about time to clear up the fact that cpfs are not trying to discredit anyone who made WYBā€™s gear. Why canā€™t we just be happy that he has a cool moto suit with the 85 on it? We are. We really are. Itā€™s just that analyzing the elements within it is something that CPFs love to do. Not even for the relationship part of it but just to understand him better. The thing is, I donā€™t look at it and think only about how ā€œhandsomeā€ yibo is. I also wanna know what it means. The details. This is something that represents him as a racer so I will naturally be curious about whatā€™s on it. Not to say that so/os are shallow or anything, Itā€™s just that we are two different kinds of fans. Our brains donā€™t work the same way. Thatā€™s fine. I wish people will one day accept that we all approach fandom in different ways. If you donā€™t like somethingā€” then ignore it.
So the conclusion here is, 85 was not an idea/logo made by the company DAINESE. Yes, they produced the gear and finalized everything. They were hired by YAMAHA to do so. However the one who drew that logo on a piece of paper is unknown.
Our best guess is Xiao Zhan. šŸ«¶šŸ¼
II. IMPORTANCE OF 85 TO YIBO
85 represents Yiboā€™s birthday, August 5. But itā€™s really became his ā€œidentityā€ when Tracer 85 was born. Even if he wasnā€™t racing, this number became a recurring theme & design with his endorsements. For example when he did a collab with Miniso, the goods had 85 on them.
Tumblr media
He has moved to the ā€œPantherļæ½ļæ½ more recently but 85 and 0805 is still very much a Yiboā€™s thing. There are even endorsements that have 85 on the price they sell his items for ( example is Richora ).
So using 85 is not a spur of the moment thing and goes beyond his racing career.
III. OTHER SIGHTINGS ( of the logo )
Aside from the race track, the most important way the logo was incorporated was through merchandise. Whether itā€™s the custom phone case that only Yibo has ā€”
Tumblr media
or the infamous 85 cap which was repped by yinzheng. the sus part here is yibo commenting, only acknowledging the post but then yz had to reply back with : lemons grow on lemon trees, under the lemon tree thereā€™s me. which means he is jealous and then yibo had to reply back with a series of emojis that makes things more suspicious.
Tumblr media
sure, yinzheng can mean that he is jealous of the merch. that yibo has his own now and that the whole tracer 85 now goes beyond being a racer. but the cpf explanation to this is that he is jealous that wyb has someone that made this amazing logo for him too. it's really so cool to have your own designer at home.
a fan favorite would be this cap, released by Day Day Up in their WYB goods line back in 2020. Whatā€™s interesting is, the number of pieces available for itā€™s initial presale was 1005. LOL. 1005 is October 5, of course, XZā€™s birthday. I think the number of pieces for a presale though not entirely up to yibo, may still be influenced by him. It could easily be 8500 pieces just to be meta but no. Why 1005? Is it a nod to the guy who made the 85 design? Plus if this logo was owned by Yamaha or Dainese, then why was it allowed to be used commercial by a completely different entity. Our answer is that itā€™s Yibo.
Tumblr media
Itā€™s curious that the cap received this special treatment, because out of all the merch sold in that line, it is the one that had the 85 logo in itā€™s original form. The rest had their own iteration of 85 but the cap is the closest to the ā€œlogoā€. This is why a lot of fans, and CPFs specifically wanted to get it.
My favorite memory from when this line came out was the loud speculation about the logo and itā€™s connection to XZ. There were even talks of šŸ¤ buying something cause if XZ is the designer, then itā€™s also a XZ merch. This is the same year when šŸ¤ was going around SDC3 filming cause XZ was supposedly there. So yeah. This cannot be confirmed and no shrimp will ever admit but it was definitely a rumor going around that time. Looking back, that CPN was beneficial ( in a way ) to shrimps because it casts XZ in a good light. They know XZā€™s capability so they can sort of agree to it. Not that we need so/o fans validating our opinions/speculations, but itā€™s a possible explanation to their reaction. Compared to motos who were angry with the association and insulted XZ. Implying that he isnā€™t capable, they can say that cause they donā€™t know XZ.
Tumblr media
IV. Connection to Xiao Zhan ā€œthe designerā€ and candies
Turtles pointing to XZ as the designer is not only rooted in CPN, but the fact that making logos was his previous job. Even before the leaked video, it made sense to the community because after all, this is what XZ is good at. Heā€™d done it for years in school and as a professional. There were photos of his previous work that leaked and he also talked about logo-making when he visited the bilibili office. Where he shared how frustrating it was to work with clients. More recently, in one his vlogs, we could see him explaining his thoughts on a visual logo for XZ Studio.
youtube
( video is about xz the designer, mostly talking about it during xfire / xnine days )
So his capability, closeness & familiarity with WYB at the time of the logoā€™s conception is key. CPFs are very familiar with how XZ makes art and logos for himself so to us itā€™s a rational speculation to think XZ had some influence on this.
There is another talk about Yuehua being the one who made it. They do have people who can make those right? However it was pointed out that with how they make logos for their other artists, itā€™s unlikely. They did claim the rights to the Panther, but the identity of the artist was left blank on the application. No one ever did claim ownership of this Logo or the Panther in public. Why wouldnā€™t they? Itā€™s free promotion.
CPN Clues:
ā€¢ 85 read as 28. Ai Bo + the Z.
ā€¢ The Z is really my favorite clue šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
Tumblr media
ā€¢ How it looks very similar to the M skateboarding logo. Which can also look like a 85.
Tumblr media
ā€¢ Some other explanation on what the 85 could mean. Itā€™s XZā€™s style to have hidden meanings aside from what you actually see.
Tumblr media
ā€¢ The minimalist design that screams XZ.
The 85 logo talk and cpn have really been in full swing when EVISU released those photos and I hope BXGs ( especially big accounts on the bird app and beyond ) will rein it in with the Xiao Zhan association. We already know how hostile the environment is so itā€™s best to not use his full name. Itā€™s actually a common CPF way of doing things, not using their full names in our posts. As excited as we all were, the whole point was that tracer 85 is back, not the CPN. I know itā€™s tricky to find a balance with how our brains are wired, but you will learn. It should always be them as individuals first.
85 logo and all other ā€œdesigner GGā€ is one of those CPN that is very popular and widely circulated in the bxg community ā€” and with good reason. However, it is in no way to take away 85 from Yibo. Itā€™s him. It is his brand and it will always be his.
This is one in a couple of ā€œyizhan mysteriesā€ out there that keeps the BXG flame alive šŸ”„. These (alleged) silent collaboration/s between them are so great because it shows how well they work together as a team.
-END.

Tesla knows the only way to kill her mother involves sacrificing herself, and she has come to terms with it. Her only regret is leaving all her friends behind. And her sisterā€¦ Liliana. Sheā€™s the one helping Tesla, and the one thatā€™ll have to see her die. But like everything else in Teslaā€™s life, even this doesnā€™t go her way. Everything goes awry, and now Tesla is left with a hurt Liliana and missing guildmates. Something more sinister is lurking in the dark, and it might be closer to Tesla than she originally thoughtā€¦Ā

Led Zeppelin - "Nobody's Fault But Mine" From the album Presence (March 31, 1976)
Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm
Much in the same way that the lyrics to The Beatles' "Glass Onion" acknowledged with a nod and a reluctant wink the gnostic cult of Paul-is-Dead, the packaging of Led Zeppelin's Presence acknowledged the I'm sure at-least-somewhat-discomfitting fact that their group had long since become the most humongous rock band in the world.
By the time of The White Album, and by the time of Presence, respectively, things had gotten to the point where expedience was no longer expedient. The Beatles had tried not to feed the conspiracy theorists, and Zeppelin--modest at least in this one regard--had stayed away from licensing lunchboxes and appearances on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. But at a certain point, things get so big, and so plain, that they become the elephant in the room.
Presence seems to be Zep's acceptance of their own status (beyond even their own control) as Big Dumb Object, an enormous artifact of unfathomable consequence.
That's dumb as in "incapable of speech," not as in "stupid," just so we're straight. But since we're there, let me note that Presence perhaps more than any Zeppelin album save II demonstrates that a certain amount of stoopidity is unavoidable or even desired if you're going to play the cock-rock game.
Plant's lyrics to "Achilles" reference some etching or the other of William Blake's, so my point is not to disparage Zeppelin's obvious operational intelligence. Still, Zeppelin were all about contrast: I dare you to check out the live video from '77, and tell me that Plant's suggestive mannerisms as he sings the band's 11-minute epic aren't a little stoopid . . . .
Ah, but I digress, 'cause the key concept here is not "Dumb" but "Big." Think thunder. Think "Hammer of the Gods," if that helps.
After four albums where at least part of the idea had been to leaven the heaviness with keyboards or acoustic instruments, Presence was a return to the undiluted bombast of the second album. Guitar bass drums voice recorded in a mere 18 days--not necessarily simple, but certainly direct.
The instrumental contrasts that for good or ill had been there on III, IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti were absent on the band's seventh album--and maybe that's why it's long been their least popular. Funny thought, that: maybe Zeppelin were so goddamned popular not because of the parts that rocked, but because of the parts that didn't!
I don't want to go overboard, however. I don't want to make it sound as if Presence were a piece of the nascent pub rock of the time, because the very first track belies that. "Achilles" is the third longest studio track for the band and features perhaps Page's most intricate guitar orchestration, with as many as 12 overdubs. It's routinely described as proggy, or even Yes-like (and if you don't believe that, consider that Dream Theater is one of the many acts who have covered the song). And note that Jonesy is playing an eight-string bass.
Leave it to this band of contrasts to feature a 10-1/2 minute song about a Greek demigod with painstakingly multitracked guitars on their back-to-basics record . . . Presence is perhaps Led Zeppelin's most misunderstood album, but for Page Plant Jones & Bonham, that may have been The Object all along.

I almost cried when I got this ask Anon. The joy it brought me you have no idea. It's been a really hard couple of weeks. Onto the questions thought! 1. Imagine Poppy accidentally befriends a grumpy god and she doesn't know he's a god. Now you can imagine trolls 1. As for trolls 2 and 3, it really depends on how I develop the story. 2. Nah, he doesn't really wish death on anyone to be honest. 3. They will get the happy ending. Let's just say it has something to do with their dad. 4. Not really? I mean they did have a band as kids but since they're gods it didn't really become a huge thing.
5. Broppy obviously. As for Clay and Floyd getting a ship? I'm on the fence tbh. 6. 13 still. It's a magic number for him. His little demigod demons :> 7. JD and Floyd got along really well. Floyd wants to leave JD be since he's working through some stuff. Alone. Branch really honestly doesn't remember JD all that much. As for the other three, its probably pretty tense, he's always iffy with mortals. 8. They got a new sheriff but they definitely do not like JD.
9. Oh yeah totally. Clay is going to see reasoning at some point. Honestly, Clay and JD's relationship is the most interesting to me. Like Bruce and JD is my favorite and Branch and JD has a super special place in my heart but Clay and JD just make me want to put them in little jars and shake them y'know? 10. He really doesn't have that many friends. He doesn't want to hurt people. PS. 11. I'm sorry ive been doing other work for school and other personal projects and I am so mentally tired I haven't had time for it. I'll get back to it eventually prommy.
