He keeps interrupting, hes so fevered, he's panicking, and it's really funny to see him huff, but it's aggravating to watch like, this is our politics? Children quarreling. Ive seen discussion about how when biddn was in office he could bully him because Biden had years of experience in his career for Trump to nitpick and tease about, but Harris is completely alien to him he has nothing to harass her about besides stuff he's wrong about and doesn't have the brain power to come up with material to bully Harris over so he just fumes like a racist uncle getting spoken over at thanksgiving

It's so nuts man.

my roman empire in mp100 was that one fan made comic where shimazaki verbally announces teleporting behind teru, saying “i’ll krump with you sweetie pie,” before punching him in the gut and the last thing teru thinks before blacking out is “why did he say ‘teleports behind you’ out loud…” i constantly think about it. and the broccoli tree arc

[sotogalmo]

Wait.

I don't know where they necessarily put the kids in; but it looks like Till is being placed in a locker. Well- a locker fit for many alien things

Or maybe I'm just making a weird connection

so curious about how anakt garden actually works, like look at how big the cages are compared to baby till and that segyein ... how many people are at the garden? both in each year and just in general? how big is it? how is it run? im so curious about and obsessed with the world building of alien stage

do i think there is a legitimate conversation to be had around the fact gideon's conception involved john being sexually assaulted by augustine and mercymorn? yes there is and i would love to have it! do i think we should debate whether wake—whose apparent 'motherhood' is based on the fact she impregnated herself with john's genetic materual out of pure desperation, not even expecting it to work based on the age of the sample, because the eggs mercymorn gave her didn't work, in a bid to produce a baby genetically similar enough to him that killing it would allow her to unlock the tomb—was a good mother? absolutely not and i think that it is completely irrelevant because even if you decide to go ahead and consider her a mother, which she did not consider herself to be, by virtue of her conceiving a child then you're judging her parenting skills based on her fleeting interactions with a foetus that she nicknamed bomb, which is very much not going to give you an accurate assessment of whether she is a good mother.

also i must ask you why you think we need to debate whether she was a good mother or not, what purpose does that serve, why is that the most interesting aspect of her to you, what relevance does it have to her character as a whole

[fortheloveofarchons]

Been playing Love and Deepspace for the past few days and here's my take on this.....

Content warning though, it's gonna be a long post! And this is just coming from someone who only played the game a few days ago so this is just my first impression!

Let me just say this, algorithm...

It's your fault for making me download the game.

You knew I like hot attractive fictional men. You knew I like bratty boyfailures. You knew I like older, stoic yet kind men. You knew I like mysterious softboys.

YOU KNEW.

So you bombarded me with L&DS content on my socials, my home, my walls, and even my grass!!! I won't forgive you for dragging me into another gacha hole, especially when you knew that I promise myself to never spend a dime on any of these games!!! (I'm an f2p player)

Anyways-- Here's my take on this game as a newbie.

The VAs and character designs?

Amazing. I love the boys (including Caleb) and the MC customisation is really detailed. Though, I wish we could have short hair MC permanently but I'm glad we get to experience it on photoshoots. I do wish we get to explore more of the boys on the main plot cause it feels a bit underwhelming. Then again I just finished chapter 3 so we'll see!

I love the dates and the playtime mode since it gives us time to get closer to the boys and understand more about their past and their characteristics. (I'm convinced the claw machine gacha is so random cause one day Xavier won a lot and the next it was Zayne)

I will say tho for now I feel like Rafayel is more developed and interesting compared to the other two. I like Zayne in terms of how much he really cares about his patients and how he was closer to MC back then, but I wish we get more of him soon. For Xavier he's such a mystique as well and I really like him too! Overall, I wish we get more events dedicated to Zayne and Xavier.

The fluidity of the animation and graphics?

Really good considering that I'm playing it on mobile, I set it to medium and its runs pretty smoothly without any low pixelated quality. I love how detailed the backgrounds and designs are, and I really love some of the cinematic shots the developers added during the date scenes. I can't wait to pull for more dates for the characters!

Combat wise?

It's fine for now ,and I really appreciate the proceed 10x button when farming for materuals considering that I'm more of a casual player rather than a combat one.

Though I'm still frustrated that one of the requirements of getting 3 stars for extra diamonds would be to win the combat within 90 secs and I'm like-- boy if that dragon didn't have that short animation I would've gotten it faster!!! If it had been 120 secs I would have gotten it easier... I know that the whole combat system will get a bit complicated the more you ascend your hunter level so I'll just farm for materials just to prepare the inevitable.

Also I wish there were more ways to gain more exps for your hunter level instead of doing the daily tasks. Imagine you are about to head to the next chapter get some main content and yet you can't bc your hunter level is just two level away so you have to wait for the next day...

The plot?

I would say its okay for now since I'm about to head to chapter 4 and even though I finished chapter 3 it still feels like the beginning. The worldbuilding is really interesting but I'm still a bit confused on some aspects of the story. Overall, I can't wait to finally see Caleb on screen (I already saw him on Youtube and I wish he's playable he's so pretty sksksksks)

Edit: I just finished chapter 4.... what in the sweet metaflux world... CALEEEBBBBBB!!!!!

So yeah this is my impression on the game as someone who only joined after a few days! I hope to see more contents for the boys and I can't wait for more chapters (I spoiled myself at chapter 4 and my god... I want Caleb to be playable plzzzzz)

I'm aware that as a newbie my opinions are probably flawed considering that it's barely even a week since I joined, I would love to hear some advices from you guys just so I can prepare myself in terms of combat and to understand more about the characters if I missed anything about them!

Giving Punch Out boxers (minus Lil Mac) songs but they're randomized in my playlist and will probably have NOTHING related to them ^_^!

(The song meanings are given out. I got all of these from sites, please correct me if I'm wrong!)

—

Aran Ryan: Aishite ita no ni (Even Though I Had Loved You) by Materu (LMFAO????)

"There was this girl who was in a relationship with this guy ("Let's become one, both in body and in soul"), but because the relationship was too toxic("I loved you, I really loved you, yet you betrayed me"), they had to put an end to it ("Before it comes to an end, let's end it together"). So in the song, the girl mourns her relationship, singing ("I believed you, I really believed you. I loved you, I really loved you")."

— (by u/ILikeSalad_owo on Reddit!)

—

Bald Bull: Likey by TWICE (I'M CRYINF HELP)

"The agony of trying to elicit a social-media "like" from a crush, as well as the struggle of maintaining a beautiful social media image."

(who you trying to impress)

—

Bear Hugger: I Want You by Mitski (DAMN.)

"‘I Want You’ tells the poetic heartbreak of a relationship that was one-sided. The song includes lyrics that explain how there was an attempt to make the relationship last, however with lacking support this led to its inevitable downfall. Mitski’s melancholic vocals portray a tone to the listener, one that is filled with a despairing plea, an exhausted attempt to save their relationship one last time with the words, “I want you”."

(Who hurt you, Bear Hugger???)

—

Disco Kid: Basketbol by Viva HotBabes (HELP, A FILIPINO SONG THAT'S JUST ABOUT BASKETBALL???)

—

Don Flamenco: Guilty Pleasure by Chappell Roan (no comment 1, should've been another song)

"The song is filled with sexual allusions and the pretty unhealtry relationship she’s having; she refers to her partner as a “pothead” and she explores the “sexually fantasizing” theme. The guilty pleasure is associated to something that makes you feel good in spite of the shame that it might bring, in this case, the chagrin comes from her depthless relationship."

—

Glass Joe: Destroy Me by Mr. Kitty (I dunno bro! No comment!)

"About someone who is in a state of despair and looking for escape from the challenges of life. The song's lyrics express a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of life's struggles, and a desire for complete destruction as a way to break free. The narrator is asking another person to "hurt me," "fight me," "kill me," and "destroy me," in order to take away the pain and anguish they're feeling."

—

Great Tiger: Less Than Three.? (YOU LOVE ME TYPING OUT MY FANTASY) By Disko Warp

"The song is about a girl getting home from school then hopping online to anticipate her conversation with her online boyfriend."

(WHO'S THE ONLINE BOYFRIEND, TIGER???)

—

King Hippo: Catallena by Orange Caramel (WHY THE LESBIAN SONG—)

"The song shows fascination towards a charming "Catallena" woman in spite of being straight, singing, "She's so great, I've fallen for her / Even as a girl"."

—

Mr. Sandman: Suki! By Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu (CUTESY SONG.)

"It emphasizes the intensity of emotions experienced when infatuated with another person. With each repetition of the word “suki,” meaning “love,” a wave of overwhelming feelings floods the listener. It’s as if the song captures the heart’s racing beats and the giddy happiness that love induces, conveying the sheer magnitude of infatuation."

—

Piston Hondo: Tell Me by Wonder Girls (wuh.)

"A song about a girl who has fallen in love." (TYPICAL! Yet still a banger)

—

Soda Popinski: Favorite by Isabel LaRosa (damn thrist trap song)

"The song shows the sesire to be cherished, chosen and favored by her romantic partner, emphasizing themes of desire and possessiveness." (help me)

—

Super Macho Man: The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang (????????gyat)

"A song playful and provocative exploration of human sexuality, likening it to animal behavior." (guh)

—

Von Kaiser: Your Best American Girl by Mitski (NO, WHAT THE HELL)

"The song represents the turmoil that one feels when they experience a relationship that brings them great joy, but also must come to terms with the fact that they are different from their new partner on a multitude of levels and they are likely committing to a fantasy. Mitski says that this song was inspired by “wanting so badly to fit into this very American person’s life, and simply not being able to, just fundamentally being from a different place and feeling like I would just get in the way of their progression in their life."

(First post btw! Hope it isn't too messy :' )

"Mm, nah, I still do! Even though I don't really have a lotta time to anymore- with classes 'n stuff, ya'know.

TBH, all my stuff's so different that I can't really put a name to the kinda genre it is- Or I just dunno it- But one thing I like to do is make it sound real creepy. Like- horror type vibes, sorta like the kinda songs you'd hear in a horror game or sumthin'. Experimentin' with random instruments 'n sounds 'n patterns 'n stuff- 'nd playin' around with the key 'n time signatures to make it 'specially unnervin', shit like that. Kyehehe.

Oh! but I do like listenin' to synth pop 'nd techno though, 'nd I've definitely written a piece or two in 'em I'm pretty sure! 'nd for listenin' I'm also pretty bias towards breakcore 'n hyperpop- I think that's what they're called anyway-"

He answered in a ramble, seeming to be very avid about his compositions.

Kyehe. The 'dark arts of music making'. So dark indeed, how evil. Well- for him it kind of fit anyway- so it was pretty funny.

- Mace (🔌)

For the second afternoon in a row that week, Mace found himself walking down the same corridor of the Diasomnia dorms. He would have come by sooner, having finished downloading all of the stuff onto the drive way earlier, but he got a bit distracted doing... a few different things. He hoped Casimir didn't mind the wait too much. It would be a shame if he did.

Approaching Casimir's door, he knocked the same way he did last time, before stepping back.

"Yello~! Guess who it is~!"

He called out, combing his fingers through his hair to neaten it up a bit while he waited for the door to open. Not that he was trying to make it look extra neat. But more... trying to make it seem like he didn't just crawl out of bed a few hours ago, just to only make it in time to attend the last class of the day. Because he definitely didn't. Definitely.

- Mace (🔌) [ @nrc-asteryn-crew ]

( ooc// i cannot the way he starts monologuing in his thoughts then gets more sentimental STOPP I CANT DO THIS I LOVE HIM SM ACTUALLY if he was in game i WOULD whale /pos silly guy if anything ur inability to control ur UM is just making mace more interested in you (i actually love that it does that tho its so silly) anyway I FINALLY MADE THE GOSH DARN BLOG . well sorta i more so just had to revamp the pinned post that was already there but YEA!!! :D )

*the knocking on the door startled Casimir from his thoughts that, today, mainly consisted of some nonsense on a homework page. He relaxed though, at the recognition of the knocking pattern and voice and stood up*

*He took a deep breath to compose himself and adopt his typical, grandiose persona before opening the door*

Greetings to you, Vassal Mace! It is a pleasure to see that you have decided to return to my lair on this day.

I assume that your being here means you have successfully completed your quest?

*Casimir did his best to contain his excitement, tapping his fingers together in what, to most appearances, could be read as excitement or a gesture of evil plotting - the perfect gesture for one of his status, now that he thought about it.*

(✨HELL YEAH! banger that u have a blog now! I think I'm already following ur acct from my main but yaur!!! Also thank u SM that means. A lot actually bc I'm just here like "yeah this silly guy who exists in my brain is gonna get thrown from a window" and I really appreciate when other ppl like my silly guys dhhdsjdj. I'm so excited to be able to learn more Abt ur guys now tho too whehehehe >:3¢. Probably should've done this from the tags. Anyways.)

[gay-little-isopod]

just got asked by a friend 'ARE TOU FR A LGBTGA I LESBIAN MATERUAL GURL'

[itslouisan]

Well, short post on Urahara as a vocaloid fan

Okay so, I said how I believe Urahara is a vocaloid fan in my last post, so I thought why can't I elaborate? Hell maybe expand it to what I think other characters would listen to

Urahara:

• He'd like Miku, Vflower, Fukase, Len and Kaito songs.

• His first ever vocaloid song would be strobe light, world is mine, triple baka or rosary pale; (even though I'm sure there's others songs he'd like and I'll talk about it in a second)

• He'd love the idea of virtual singers, probably nerding out to ANYONE about how he thought it was a great technology for musicians who didn't want to expose themselves, were beginners or just wanted to experiment something new, and how he thought this source could be the future of the music industry or even idol industry, having so much potential to evolve and change (which he was correct)

• He would probably try his best to go to a magic mirai show, would get the light sticks, everything.

• About producers, I think he'd be into Kikuo, Materu, Wowoka, Kanaria, Aira, Pinocchio, Akka and Deco 27 (perhaps Ichika too), but there's millions of producers, and since I'm not fluent in japanese, I can more easily list songs than the producers unfortunately since searching about the producers takes time and has a language barrier, specially considering vocaloid is all over the place and in theory everyone who makes music using vocaloid, even covers and small stuff, could be a producer, so ehhhh-

• Collects figures. I think he would be more into the complex figures and looks rather than the prize ones that are simpler

Some examples of figures I think Kisuke would like:

Songs I think Kisuke would relate/like more than others:

1- Strobe Light

An underrated song, in my interpretation of strobe light, it talks about breaking the routine, a girl who's so stuck in it she craves for something new but doesn't have the courage of trying. At the same time could talk about the line between life blurring and becoming gray, boring, with nothing interesting easily, it talks about how everyone around you seems to move on while you're stuck in a point of your life trying to change and try, still people move on, die, give up, and you can't do anything about it, yourself wanting to give up and feeling lost.

My take is that Kisuke would like it since he'd find it in his early months of exile, feeling lost, that everyone moved on, that he'd have to fight to adapt and survive in this new life, together with guilt of his friends being stuck with him now and losing their lives due to his own mistakes. He'd be stuck in a lifeless hopeless situation and routine, trying hard to break free but unable to, after all the situation wouldn't allow him to. He'd crave for freedom, for giving everyone comfort and rest, yet he couldn't rest, stop, live comfortably for a long time, everything blurring out, I think he'd listen to it a lot in his first MP3 player.

2- Cinderella

Okay urayoru moment, in my view, Cinderella is about 2 people leaving everything behind, their lives, their expectations, just wanting to be with each other and trusting that despite the odds of their situation they can be together and happy having each other's company even in dark times with a great love and trust to change their lifes

WHICH IS SO KISUKE AND YORUICHI??? Yoruichi giving away her status, her expectations as a member of the Shihōin clan, her old life, everything to save her friends BUT SPECIALLY Kisuke, trusting that he could pull it off and make a better life for them.

3- love trial

A song about someone who had such a terrible experience in love and relationships, that lost the trust completely in others, judging a partner who had previously liked and had affection for, and in the first place trying not to warm up to them and liking them again.

Another urayoru take, because we all agree Kisuke has trust issues, but I say maybe he always liked Yoruichi, but, because of his issues, when Yoruichi WAS ready to show and give him affection, he wasn't ready in the first couple of weeks or months because of previous events in his love life and life in general (which I hc Kisuke never got the handle of emotional romantic relationships and his first time doing sex with someone was terrible so yup, poor thing) but eventually melting this resolve and accepting he wanted to be happy with her.

4- Plus boy

OKAY HEAR ME OUT, he IS a pervert, no matter what you think, SO A SONG LIKE THAT FROM LEN? Hell he eats it up, plus, plus boy is about a teen boy (or teens in general) and the first signs of sexual attraction and leaving the childhood innocence of stuff, I hc Kisuke became more perverted around 14 years old, so it matches. Plus it's fire.

5- Copy cat

So, Kisuke definitely can't get the handle of social interactions and social cues, I view him as the nerd cast out kid, so, I imagine due to my hc of him having autism, he learned with time to mask all his "undesirable" and "unlikeable" traits that pushed people off, taking this facade for so long he copied the behaviors of other kids, teens, colleagues, liked people, viewing himself as someone with no essence or real personality, that is, he said "fuck it" at some point stopping the masking traits but still having personas, which is progress I guess when we're talking about Kisuke and the fact Shinigami are ageless so this could take centuries of evolution :v

Honorable mention:

In one of the asks kon made, we can see the door of Kisuke's room in the shōten, which translated to "Kisuke's castle", FIGHT ME BUT THIS DOOR DEFINITELY BLASTED WORLD IS MINE INSIDE THERE SOME POINT AND HAD LED LIGHTS CHANGING COLORS TO IT, WEARING A PRETTY DRESS AND CROW.
