#I'm having lots of feelings and I feel like nearly crying after watching#once upon a studio#it's not much but god the nostalgia the voices#the fact that they used archived voices along with current ones!!#Hearing Robin Williams as Genie but not with any of the voice lines in Aladdin got me hard#disney#sternennacht update#but honestly the two things that hit me harder#was when you wish upon a star at the end#and Mickey looking at Walt. And they played Feed the Birds#THAT got me#For anyone who doesn't know Feed the Birds was Walt's favorite song and the song is beautiful#I'm just#I'm having feels#and the fact that this is gonna play before Wish?? Lord save that theater I will cry so hard

#like ffs if i wanted Harry Potter stuff i’d follow a Harry Potter account 😾#even before Rowling went mask off I didn’t consider HP to be sufficiently Halloweeny#but the longer she loudly & proudly reigns as Queen Terf#the less forgiving I am to ppl trying to uncritically shove her IP into more general spaces#if u don’t give her money & just wanna go off into yr separate niche nostalgia corner for fanart & fics u do u#but a lot of us don’t wanna be reminded of that bigot’s existence when we’re just trying to get spooky#and don’t give me the whole ‘but it’s got witches in it so it’s Halloweeny by default’ bs#because if ur bar for Halloween content is ‘there’s witches and/or other magic users in it’ then NEWS FLASH#there’s other fantasy movies & books u could get aesthetic quotes & gif material from#that weren’t made by a still very much alive very actively harmful spokesperson of a hate movement#and the Instagram/TikTok ppl can find different music/sounds to sample#halloween#harry potter critical#fuck jk rowling#fuck jkr#halloween blogs#halloween aesthetic#tw harry potter#tw jkr mention#halloween movies

i got an alien aisha from a fountain faerie quest 🥺 i named her cosmica...
#neopets#alien aisha#aisha#cats#art#neopets fanart#nostalgia#y2k#doodles#Twice Ever in my life have i used real life money to buy a fictional currency for pretend items. the second time was to make a slot#just so i could make and paint a brand new neopet bc all my free slots were full. best $5 i ever spent#now her name is not exactly cosmica but i don't want people finding my account. but also i need you to know i got reeeaaallly lucky#with the name. its hard to brag about the name without giving away the exact name asdfjklsdf#i have three fucking aishas. i like the cats ok#there are lots of pets i would like to own in theory but pet slots are limited and i don't want to buy another one#unless they release a really really cute color for the vandagyre. then i will make. ONE more

so when are we gonna start appreciating undertale AUs for fueling a metric fuck ton of the creativity and longevity of the fandom because if i see one more person calling them the cringiest part of the last 8 years i might lose it
#trousled rants#been feeling a bit salty about this for a while but im letting it out now because i Can#but its insane seein ppl say “oh the fandom's mellowed out a lot its way more peaceful now” and agreeing bc it IS#and then “yeah now that AUs aren't so popular anymore its way more bearable” and its like :) okay#and if i told you that fan game you've been talking about for the past month is an au. what then#sighsghs its just like man i GET that a lot of aus are just edgy for the sake of it but shit dude!!! people were just having fun!!!!!#a lot of them were an avenue for ppl learning how to make their own stories!! even if they're not perfect or in character#making a shit ton of papyrus aus is one of the main things that helped me realize how much i love character design#and i KNOWWWW i'm not the only one and youre trying to tell me that's not awesome as hell!!!!!#yeah i probably i have nostalgia glasses but maybe i do kinda miss when everybody was a bit more insane actually . maybe i do#undertale

‘the children yearn for the mines’ is a little too real to me bc when i was a kid and my older siblings were trying to get me into pokémon i really never cared to try playing. BUT. i was obsessed with the underground mining minigame in dppt. i used to beg my sister to let me take a turn playing and set it up for me bc i didn’t know how to so i could go mine for gems nonstop until i cleared that entire cave section of glittering wall spots which always made me so sad bc i was having such a great time. i didn’t even understand the significance of what i was doing but 7 year old me was high off of it
#years and years later when i actually played platinum myself and it hit me like OH this is the game with the mining thing!!!#you have no idea how happy i was#…and also sad. it made me kinda heartsick bc in my childhood nostalgia dreams#my brother and sister used to play online together and do capture the flag#and their little minigame battles in the underground with their cool secret bases were so fun to watch#like that was back when the wifi connection was working and the games were alive and relevant#but i came back to it far far too late. when it was a mere relic and i was alone with no other players#still. hearing the music again brought a smile to my face#pokémon#dppt#i am once again rambling about my very special relationship to sinnoh#i didn’t play pokémon as a kid but also yes i did it was part of my childhood. like without really knowing much about it#the lil character sprites. hearthome city theme#the contests#the crunchy sound of the map opening#and the incomprehensible map itself#the bike and surf music#empoleon and staravia’s cries as they went to use surf and fly#truly. being a younger sibling watching your older sibling play has such an impact on you#it’s all nostalgic to me too i just didn’t know the full context of it myself back then#couple all this with the weird feeling of having played pokémon legends arceus as my first own game#and THEN going and finally checking out dppt#it was like double nostalgia. two different half-nostakgia experiences#just. agh i make fun of gen 4 for a lot of things but it is fundamentally my heart isn’t it#i also literally am incapable of talking about it for more than 5 minutes without bringing pla into it lol#pokeposting

gx is so crazy how do you explain to someone with a surface-level understanding of what yugioh is that the series after dm features a hermaphroditic dragon-demon card spirit fusing their soul with the main character, who also has apparently been continually reincarnating for 100s of years with the card spirit's primary goal being to protect him, and when they embrace to fuse he says they shall never part again because they will forever and always from that point on be one jointed soul and body, and also he commits a borderline genocide against the card spirit race (???) and straight up kills some of his friends (they get better), and also there's a character who got his leg broken during an archeological dig and they replaced the broken bone with a dinosaur bone (???) and now he's like part dino and has fucking dino dna (?????????) and they send him to space as his dinosona to destroy a satellite that is about to destroy the earth (????????????), and also one of the teachers in the school (seto kaiba's duel school for dueling) is a homunculus and when he dies his soul (???) gets eaten by his cat and for the rest of the series he is living (?) inside of the cat's body, and also on top of all that theres a cool rival character as expected of a show targeted towards young boys who looks cool but in actuality he's lame as hell like he canonically stinks like shit cause he doesn't wash his clothes and he joins a cult and they get him out of the cult by reminding him that his real personality is being a rancid little stinky smelly bastard loser and no one likes him and he spends the entire series getting completely dunked on and also his main archetype is these things:
and then you have to concede that at the end of the day it is still an anime for a children's card game designed to sell the cards so if you ever try to explain the impact this had on your developing mind at 7 years old you'll sound sick
#i could have gone on. didn't even mention the shredded anthros the guy murdered for duel monsters the guy named The Ultimate D the#t#ygo#i would love to create a whole analysis of gx because i think (possibly by accident) it is truly a gutwrenching story#about depression and growing up and loss of innocence in adolescence#but i can't do that because i would first have to try and frame it in the context of a children's card game anime#and i'm just a little too embarrassed to#also because a lot of the most impactful parts are censored or straight removed in the 4kids dub#(which is what most people this side of the globe know it from)#so i'd be asking anyone my age familiar with the franchise to toss side their nostalgia#(a nostalgia i don't share because *i* was only familiar with gx through fansubs as it came on during a time slot i wasn't able to record)#(because i watched everything i liked on vcr because otherwise i missed it)#(and my mom's shows had priority so i could only record a couple. and i chose sonic x#anyways. all that is to say that jun manjoume (thunder if you will) would have been considered a transgender icon if gx came out today#and also every single character is autistic#every single one of them. because yugioh is magic for autistic gay people

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Twilight Town
#kingdom hearts 2#kh2#twilight town#scenery#my gif#i didn't really know how to go about making this set because this world is big and has a lot of nice locations#but as i was putting them together i realized that the most recognizable areas would probably work best for a post like this#because other rooms like the usual place or the underground tunnels or the woods felt out of place somehow#maybe i'll make a part 2 and showcase some other areas...#anyways the devs sure do know how to make the original non-disney worlds stand out#just wandering around in this world puts me at ease but also gives me a feeling of sadness#that perfect feeling of nostalgia#or perhaps the prologue for this game is so strongly written that it'll always leave a lasting effect

wildflower by billie eilish except it’s post s3/4 billy feeling guilty and undeserving of steve, and almost bad for nancy? a weird sense of guilt because when he first moved to hawkins he would watch them when he thought no one was looking, lonely and yearning. wanted steve to touch him like that, treat him like that, love him like he loved her. but anytime he was caught, he panicked and spewed hate. anger was safe, anger protected him. a gay teen from california in hawkins? he didn’t have anything else to resort to. but now he’s too tired to be angry at the world and too in love with steve to ever feel how he did before nearly dying. but he never quite made amends with nancy. nancy, who he wonders if steve is thinking about every time he kisses billy. who he’s been too afraid to approach and talk to. who he feels hates him, and knows he doesn’t deserve steve. he knows she broke his heart, but he also knows steve pictured a life, a family with this woman. he doesn’t know if he can give steve that. billy wonders if he thinks about nancy more than steve does, too scared to ask. scared all his crazy thoughts will be confirmed. he knows she’s with jonathan, but he also knows that she was his first true love. she’s with jonathan, but he swears he feels her eyes on them whenever steve hugs, touches, kisses him. swears she’s giving them the same almost sad, wanting look he had to fight when he used to look at them.
#harringrove#billy hargrove#steve harrington#heyyy draft i wrote and forgot about like a week ago#idk man#i wish i was better at translating my thoughts into words#i just be closing my eyes and visualizing shit and feeling it to my core#but anyways the image and idea of billy yearning for steve the second he rolled into hawkins#laid eyes on him and nancy in the parking lot and knew he was fucked#he was envious of nancy and hated her at the same time and everyone thought he was taunting them to get close to nancy to piss steve off#when in reality he just wanted steve and the more he learned about steve the more he wanted#couldn’t understand why she would leave steve the same way he couldn’t understand why steve would choose him years later#but now that he has steve he still feels like he’s doing something wrong#like he broke girl code or something#steve’s love is billy’s drug tho#i also feel like last season teased a little bit of stancy and like their nostalgia?? esp with jonathan moving

Anyways bitbc 🔛🔝
#strawberry shortcake#berry in the big city#blueberry muffin#everyone who hates on this generation is just blinded by nostalgia#cause it is so good and cute!!#this scene made me realise how little dyslexia is genuinely represented#like there are characters you could argue are dyslexic but it’s rarely ever intentional#and is usually done to make the character look stupid#guess that’s just the case for neurodivergence in cartoons#but I can imagine a lot of dyslexic kids would love dyslexic characters in their cartoons

found the article, i think:
holy cannoli, I can see why it made that random woman shake her damn head and send an email 😂
it’s clearly a chill, off-the-cuff opinion piece, so im not gonna ding them too hard for just like. talking about their opinions. however.
the audacity to rank felicity highly for her stories being exciting because the take place around the time of a war, while simultaneously completely dismissing caroline out of hand is INSANE.
#my posts#like it’s clearly just a written description of two coworkers having nostalgia over childhood dolls and snubbing new stuff so it’s not that#big of a deal. however oh my god they are so wrong.#listen I love Molly. she is my first doll and my best girl. but I would not say she is the best american girl doll lmaooooo#the literally ranked felicity 2nd and caroline dead last. im gonna scream.#also this was before claudie btw#I genuinely enjoy a lot of polygon’s videogame content. did not enjoy this.#also why tf do they think caroline was born in a log cabin?????

scenecore misty back at it again!! + a speedpaint! :D
it wasn't meant to be a youtube link, but uploading the video file itself won't work, so apologies about that i know youtube links are annoying on tumblr please don't kill me </3
#it's very hard to label this design honestly - it is not exactly scene ESPECIALLY NOT the hair. however i consider scenecore different from#it and more like an aesthetic based on scene that may or may not include the culture like the music and raves and such more#leaning on internet nostalgia if anything#so id say that fits better so the adopted scenecore misty title does fit. i originally didnt wanna use that myself believe it or not#anyways hope you like this it took longer than intented as always. whoopsies#and enjoy the music in the speedpaint heehee#i didnt check it while it was rendering so if theres goofy stuff or missed recordings/skips then whoopsie @_@#flashing#bright colors#rainmaker#misty moonsoon#scenecore#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#guz art#video_guz.mp4#abt what i said earlier tbh genuinely how i made this design i just slapped stuff i like together#i loooove putting rainbows and stars on stuff... and lots of purples#also i gotta like make a pinned post on my main so i can credit back the textures i use#if i dont forget... its like 4 am though so! yeah no not rn . also sry more tags than usual i do want ppl to see this + my usual sortin tag#Youtube
