if Failboat adds AI to Miitopia/Failtopia in any way for real I will go evil mode

okay ill bite why do u hate kaoru sakuraba sidem aside from the fact that they went from hokuto as a main blue to downgrade to kaoru. to make it less awkward that I’m asking abt sidem on ur osomatsu side blog, what sidem idols would u assign to each matsu ?

i think sideM should collab w osomatsu-san and put them all in Beit so they can all get JOBS!!!!!!

anyways i hate kaoru from idolmaster sideM. i need all my osomatsu-san side blog followers to know that i hate this man. "i need a lot of money fast to pursue an extremely niche medical research track, which is why i quit my stable and high paying job as a surgeon to become an idol while having no soft skills, physical strength or stamina, or interest in getting along with people" are you Stupid??

he's not even using his idol clout to spread awareness of the rare disease he's trying to cure (like SEM does) so it can secure funding, he sees it 100% as a job and refuses to have fun, he is actively unpleasant and uncooperative in every interaction with his coworkers because he's trying to "rise to the top". it seems like the only thing he has going for him are his looks and that he kind of liked to sing when he was a kid. why not become a model at that point when you have the personality of a wet tree trunk. or better yet why not STAY A FUCKING DOCTOR!!!!!

also, i don't like meganes, so write that down.

[indistinct muttering] LXC stabs JGY on pretty much reflex, the post that talks about how masks (or image compositions in this case) that conceal the eyes and leave the mouth exposed present the subject as a physical being before a person, the eyelashes are my favorite and most ~distinct part of my LXC design, LWJ’s able to forget worldly concerns which in MDZS are framed as the political concerns of the jianghu and Wangxian elope but Xiyao’s values and thus what they admire in each other are inextricable from that dust, 不欲染尘/染尘不由我, both of the previous entries in this series of doodles have LXC’s fangs while relevant mostly concealed [voice rising to full volume again] and that’s all the effort I’m putting into my Xiyao vampire AU thesis. Good night

if your ocs were bosses in a video game, what do you think their boss fight would be like?

[hibernating-stag]

Forgive my poor Venom gameplay, this was me just messing around in Arcade Mode trying to get a feel for him.

But I did NOT know his win animation had a hit box, and the way this match ended made me bust out laughing-

[spookberry]

controversial opinion but a lot of recent legendaries dont look like legendaries. spectrier and glastrier look like rapidash with different typing, and kubfu and urshifu look like pancham and pangoro but different types of bears. i get that after like 30 years you run out of ideas but its still really sad that they just look like regular pokemon and not legendaries

What is zapdos if not a normal bird but yellow. Theres an ongoing joke of people mistaking it for fearow.

Moltres is just rapidash as a bird.

Legendaries have always been like this. Pokemon hasnt run out of ideas, theyre just trying new things cuz they can. Not everything can be a giant space dragon and not everything can have the nostalgia of a lil pink floating cat.

decided to boot up Black Reliquary again bc we got tired of refusing to play it until the 1.0 update and just wanted to play it. we completely forgot that the difficulty spike from apprentice to veteran quests is a wall, and that we have... very poor opinions of how punishing the bosses are. don't get us wrong, we get it's supposed to be hard and it's probably just a skill issue, but we genuinely believe that specifically enemy damage needs to be toned the fuck down. we do not think regular enemies should be able to hit for 30+ if they get a good roll at a level where tanky characters have around 100 HP and squishy characters are lucky to break 60. we also call bullshit on the idea that "the third spot is typically safe in most fights except in the caverns", bc literally every area has SOME basic or specialist enemy in every fight that can nuke the third row, it's not just the caverns. third row will get hit by a 56 crit damage flying guillotine or a 30+ crit damage trained slash and there's nothing you can fucking do about it. we love Black Reliquary, but the second we decide to go above apprentice, or god forbid fight a boss, it stops being fun and starts being frustrating, because it feels like every enemy has enough damage to just kill you, and every boss is tuned to be completely unbeatable if you don't bring a perfect team to counter everything they do and still completely ruin you anyway even if you do bring a perfect team because fuck you. Darkest Dungeon, even at its worst, has never given us this feeling, not even on Stygian/Bloodmoon difficulty. it's always the early game that lulls us into a sense of security, bc the early game, once you get used to BR's flow, is WAY less punishing than DD's early game(you start with more money, the prep round gives you time to think, heroes have more health and damage overall, basically all items have larger stack sizes and you get more money overall and you start with everything unlocked, as opposed to DD's early game; where you start with basically no money, money is incredibly scarce for a while, you do not unlock everything until a few quests in, and every hero is generally useless until enough investment is made), but then the second you hit the mid game, or even the late early game, and try to start fighting bosses and doing harder quests, the game stops fucking around and you suddenly live in a constant state of everything being able to kill you in two turns, sometimes one turn if they focus you hard enough, with no warning and no way to really ever stop them, because no healing is going to outpace barbarians hitting your front AND backline for 14-36 multiple times a turn, especially if they roll high and god help you if they crit. we understand that we're probably just not good at the game, but unless you have actual advice to help us get better we don't wanna hear it.

So I had this idea a while back for a sort of Scooby Doo parody/homage thing where our group of intrepid freelance mystery-solvers were a bunch of gothy witches who often took down the spooky bad guys by scaring them back, and while I still liked that idea, I felt like it could've used more work. An idea recently came for me to change up the usual dynamic of the gang; instead of being some humans and their non-human pet/mascot, they would instead all be anthro animals. So I cut their pet mascot and furry-fied the humans.

The first of the gang is Karl Frankenkong (she/they/he), a monkey who's been rendered a patchwork zombie after multiple disastrous experiments. They're an occult expert and amateur mad scientist.

Then there's Bella Vampirez-Komori (she/her), a literal vampire bat with a love of fashion and music. She's the best at trickery, espionage, and pragmatism.

Finally there's Lazlo Katz (he/him), a ghostly cat who loves old horror and noir movies and is eccentric even by this clique's standards. Despite arguably being the creepiest, he is also the most easily frightened.

Together they are the Mystery Monster Menagerie.

Their adventures would be like Scooby Doo, but with more horror infused (especially taking cues from old gothic horror, cheesy b-movies and classic slashers) and even a bit of noir-style detective flavor.

Watching A Failboat Video/Stream Moodboard!! ⛵‼️

…does this make sense-

[istherewifiinhell]

was that a Very Special Episode about self esteem or smth howd u get 2 characters having a crisis of faith in one episode...

[orcelito]

continued playing fe:engage a bit more. i knew from the moment i met her that the queen was marked for death, and Sure Enough. her death scene was obviously supposed to be emotional, but i felt Uhhh like negative emotional movement lmfao. genuine kudos to the protag's voice actress, I could tell she was putting genuine effort into it. but Man the game just did not build enough to that to make me emotional about it. just this random woman who said she was my mom who the protag didnt even remember. like. Ok lol

[drifloonz]

concept. glitchy w a mimikyu

[frosteee-variation]

i love writing things to show to friends and throwing in so many little details that nobody notices so that i can point them out later and either make the entire story worse or better depending on the context, it’s so so so fun it’s my favorite pastime ever

im actually amending that last paragraph. i do want to see his cock and balls. if larian gives him a sex scene, theres a 50/50 chance theyll actually have to model devil wyll's dick and he really cant just casually mention that mizora cast Weird Your Dick and not elaborate

i dont wanna undercut my criticism too hard with humor, but wyll would probably get hit with the "hes boring" accusation a lot less often if larian actually followed through with half of the things they imply about wyll before dropping completely

re: wyll's lack of a sex scene

"its nice that theres an ace option" there isnt. you still have sex, larian just fades to black after 3 seconds of fully-clothed kissing. if you dont want your character to fuck, you can say no. if you dont want to say no but for some reason still dont want to see anything, the game has a nudity censor option

"he was just lowest priority because, out of all the romanceable companions, he puts the lowest priority on sex" lower priority than haarlep? than the drow twins? emperor? the woman who owns his soul gets full-frontal but his own scene cuts to black before he even takes his shirt off. larian puts in the content they think players would enjoy, and seemingly just saw the option to fuck wyll as unimportant to players

"it just wouldnt mesh with his character, hes too romantic" okay but he literally does fuck offscreen in his romance route, so it would in fact be in character for him. also sex isnt inherently impure. this is a less sex-positive take than the generally accepted one in the mormon church (i would know, im exmo). have you never heard the euphemisms "making love" and "intimacy" before? this is a weird take and youre weird for having it

do i, as a lesbian, personally want to see his cock and balls? no. do i think it Says Something when larian just assumes that no one wants horny wyll content in a famously horny game? yes

@hellsitegenetics

I love them

I didn't know I needed to know that the weed-smoking girlfriends post was genetically a wolf, but I did, and I do. Also puts great stuff on my dash.

it’s so fun to be scrolling unhinged posts and then boom. an organism!

so many moths‼ also, unexpected comedy with some of the matches

perfect blend of silly and informative, and makes for an excellent punchline at the end of a long post. puts creatures on my dash. literally what more could you ask for

It's a really unique blog concept and a lot of times the results are pretty funny. It's great when the sequence matches the post content too!

Creatures 👍

Finds beautiful creatures out of the mess of the hellsite

Offers finality AND gives us a creechur.

I love them. English speakers talk like moths

If this blog wins, they could run the text of the winning announcement, and determine the post's genus and species!

They're also very good about tagging the type of creature depicted in the results, so as long as you mute tags of creatures you don't want to see, it's a very fun time seeing iconic legacy posts (and new submissions) being reduced down to a string of letters and assigned a random species of fish or moth or something!

uhh it’s cool

BLAST

There are so many weird bugs in the world

Yippee!!

If, as Haldane said, God has an inordinate fondness for beetles, then surely this blog proves that Tumblr has an inordinate fondness for moths.

Top tier blog as a geneticist, I love seeing obscure organisms and MOTH

Admin got rate limited after trying to blast the bee movie

the knowledge of biology to pull this off (i have taken one biology class in my life) and also the work to find all the strings honestly deserves quite a bit of praise

This gimmick blog has it all: science, pictures of animals, interaction with the text of other peoples' posts, interesting information, and a unique and fun premise. As a biologist, I'm rooting for hellsitegenetics to reach the end and take the tournament, because it is truly a standout among gimmick blogs.

If they win, perhaps this blog too shall become a cool organism :3

@making-you-in-spore

Incredible works of art from a limited medium, the blog favors quality over quantity and I am always in awe when a dancing creacher in Spore [2008] crosses my dash.

His spores often take him multiple hours to create, and he will go through astounding amounts of effort to commit to the bit. He made his cull poll in spore and then blew it up. Hes also super responsive and active and seems really eager to share his creation techniques and spread the joy of making things in spore [2008]. His blog almost singlehandedly sparked a significant resurgence in interest and playerbase of a 16 year old game that most people see as nothing but a meme. Hes just a guy who likes spore [2008]

i say vote for making you in spore because seeing them blow up their opponents after they win is hilarious
