DOES ANYONE REMEMBER BOOM BLOX. DID ANY OF MY MUTUALS/FOLLOWERS PLAY BOOM BLOX. BOOM BLOX. THIS ONE.

[lazorbeanz]

Wachowski Family Headcanons

💙 For Christmas, Tom and Maddie got Knuckles one of them..I forgot what u call em..music boxing machine thingys, that you attach to the wall and you punch different areas on board on time to the beat of a song.

Yeeeeah not only did he destroy that the moment his fists made contact, but he also left a little costly gift of his own for his parents on the same wall where it once was…

❤️ Sonic still has to check with Maddie to know whether a certain cup, bowl or container is microwave save.

Sonic: Hey Tails, can this go in the microwave?

Tails: ………*shrugs*

Sonic: Oh come on- *immediately calls Maddie waiting for her to pick up* Mommy ANSWER……MOMMY!!

Tails very well knows…he just wants to see his brother go into panic state

🧡 The brothers when bowling

Knuckles: Grabs the heaviest ball and chucks it with one arm, and somehow manages to get a couple strikes. However he has had a few warnings and even got his family suspended from the complex for what he claimed to be “minor damage” (he threw a ball up into the screen displaying the scores and another time, smashed a ball down too hard on a lane it went straight through the floor)

Tails: Still struggles to lift the ball properly so he uses two hands when holding/throwing it. Sometimes he will use the ramp that is available or he gets help with his stance from a family member (usually Maddie). Doesn’t make strikes often but his family is super encouraging and supportive towards him and he is determined not to give up, and when he makes one for the first time, they go absolutely wild. They’d fill the room with their screams and shouts and all ambush the fox with hugs and kisses and praises for his mini milestone. Tom would pick Tails up and sit him on his shoulder as they all chant his name…the smile on Tails’ face could not be any wider, he was the happiest boy in the world at that moment. But shortly after he bursts into tears because never had he experienced anything like this in his life. His tiny heart just couldn’t handle all this appreciation, support and love that came from a place he once least expected.

Sonic: IS the bowling ball. He’d often forms an alliance with Tom to become the undefeatable father/son duo, though Maddie just sees it as cheating, as wholesome and funny as it is. Sonic once got trapped behind the fence that comes down once you knock over the pins, and had to come out through the channel that returns the balls. They get a bit hesitant on this as they’re worried he might get stuck under there. When he’s not being the ball, he’s either helping Tails, dancing to the music, or begging his parents to do the mii spinning action from wii sports when he chucks the ball behind him.

💙 When Tom is out on his street patrols around town, the boys sneak out and follow him.

Cue to the part where he’s taking a break in a parking lot, looks out the window just to see his 3 sons in the distance sitting on the fence…with Sonic holding a fishing rod with a bag of donuts hooked on the end of the line, the trio snickering away as he made eye contact.

They were clearly tryna lure him in, The Donut Lord, with donuts! Some smart cookies they were…he shook his head, smiling to himself before muttering through the mic, “Tempting…”

He could hear the 3 cackling in the distance, Sonic almost having a Humpty Dumpty incident.

❤️ here’s a meme that screams Sonic and Tom lmao

🧡 another meme ahAaA

What if Tom’s secretly a gamer dad? 🤔🤣

as an obsessed tintin fan I love your work so much. unfortunately my favourite character besides tintin is the villain sakharine from the 2011 film and he's only properly in that and I have the most insane gay crush on him since watching the film in june 2020. would it be possible to see how you would draw him? I don't know if you've seen the film. anyway thank you so much for your art, it makes me so happy as well as seeing beetlejuice from the musical. bless you, and I love you so much. merry Christmas and Happy holidays and hopefully a happy new year.

Oh my god. Please forgive me. This is gonna be a long post.

Have I ever seen the movie?! Hahahahshahaha you're funny

Not to brag or anything, but I have the DVD on a scratchy disc and the now not working wii game. I have completed BOTH sections at least 20 times no lie. Also I religiously watched the move every weekend for almost 2 years as a little kid. I memorized the script. So yes. Yes I have.

I really don't think I will ever be as intense about a Fandom like this again.

Okay on to sakharine. (This is gonna be so disjointed bear with me) I don't blame you crushing on him. They knew what they were doing. When i first saw this movie i thought him and tintin were my boyfriends! And dang I want his suit. He'd be a fun character to cosplay. Okay okay okay who came up with the idea of giving him a pet falcon?! It's so damn cool! I truly miss fun villains. Like I'm so sick of "she's not evil she's just misunderstood" or "there's no villain, trauma is the villain!" Like where are my fun goofy villains that are greedy and willing to kill to get their hands on this one specific thing or evil just because they can. Give me more sakharines!!! Anyway, you've waited long enough. Here's your man

if I draw him again I'll make sure to tag you :)

I had so much fun making this, and thank you so much for the kind words!! It means so much!! Happy holidays, my friend!

[digiblueslush]

Hello everybody!

My names Rory, and I’m back on tumblr for the bajillionth time and rebranding for the bajillionth time (seriously why did I ever leave in the first place, I love yall)

Anyways… here’s my whole spiel about who I am, what I do, etc.

^^^ where I post from lolz. Anyways, here are the basic stats

Name/what y’all can call me - Rory, Cyber Rory, idk anything else just not any of my old names if you know them

Age - 19

God what else do you put in these OH OMG

Pronouns - irl they/them, online they/it (and ask about neos if interested)

Sexuality/gender identity - i identify as bisexual, abrosexual, and gender-fluid (please do not use he/him or she/her even if I say I feel more masculine/feminine, they/them is always preferred)

What’s my deal - I’m an artist! Previously I never really posted my own stuff, but now I want to start doing that. Obviously I’ll still repost things I like, but it’s not gonna be my whole page lolz. I started taking my art more seriously since I switched my major from marine bio to a double major in art and psych (physics and chem are too hard) I’m currently not in school (I had to withdraw during the middle of my first semester due to mental health issues, but I’m going back this fall! So excited!!)

What kind of art? - glad you asked. Im really into Frutiger aero and cybercore at the moment, so that’s what I usually base my art around, but I really don’t have one set style/“aesthetic” in my art. I go in between Frutiger aero, cybercore, y2k, scene, mizuiro, and basically anything else that I can sneak the color blue in

Other fun things about me

Music I’m into - I don’t mean to be one of those “oh I’m into everything” kind of people, as it’s not fully true, but it’s true like 90% of the time. My favorite genres right now are metal core, emo, whatever Ayesha erotica, millionaires, and slayyyter are, and ambient instrumentals (more specifically cybercore ambience and the little big planet soundtrack) I will not listen to most country, and pop music is very hit or miss, but other than that I usually like everything else. Specific bands I’m into include bad omens, mcr, motionless in white, spiritbox, and pierce the veil

Shows/Animes I’m into - hot take but I really don’t like to watch tv *gasp* I know I know, but it’s so hard for me to start new shows and keep watching them, especially if episodes are longer than 20-30 mins. Even with anime I have a hard time watching shows that I wasn’t into over a year ago. I’m really into JJK, Haikyuu, Yuri on Ice (rip), the aquatope on white sands, and tbhk

Other things I’m into - just gonna dump them all here lolz. Blues clues, Winnie the Pooh, stuffed animals (NOT squishmallows, hot take sorry) deltarune/undertale, sally face, Fran bow, project sekai (forgot to put vocaloid in music lolz), and the ds and Wii era Nintendo

ALMOST DONE

I’ll be setting up either a card or a link tree hopefully soon, but I’m also on TikTok (regretfully) and instagram, both are @/cyber.rory13 if y’all are interested. Eventually I hope to open up commissions and/or a sticker and print shop, but for now I’m waiting til I have more traction on my socials as shops cost money, and I’ve been unemployed since October (starting work in may tho!) so I don’t want to make that investment quite yet. Commissions however, I’m open to the idea of them, so if you are interested feel free to message me and we can talk about details there (they will have to be digital or traditional transferred to digital). And finally, the moment like one of y’all has been waiting for, some of my actual art!

Digital

Traditional

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy, my page is a safe place and feel free to reblog really engage anyway if you’d like to be mutuals! Slay queen!!

ROUND ONE

Matt

Pit: That's Matt! Palutena: I'm not that surprised you remember him, Pit! After all, Matt is the boxing trainer for Wuhu Island, as well as their undefeated boxing and swordplay champion. Pit: You mean, undefeated until I showed up! Palutena: It was impressive, seeing you swing that Wiimote around with such ferocity, and yet having such calculated blows with the Nunchuk... Viridi: Pit's such a fan of cutesy games, it's hard to imagine him as having any skill in those high-intensity simulators. Pit: I seem to recall this "cutesy" angel taking on the entire Underworld Army AND the Forces of Nature by myself, thank you very much! Palutena: On your own, huh? Pit: ... So! Matt! Palutena: Oh, well, you know Matt's going to be able to parry you with his sword, but what you may not know is he's gotten rather good at basketball recently. Try not to get dunked on... Especially on your own like that. Pit: Wait! Lady Palutena!

Sebastian

Pit: This guy's conducting a symphony while fighting! Talk about double-time! Palutena: That's Sebastian Tute, the main guide in Wii Music! He's actually rather well-versed in many instruments, but he prefers the viola. He also conducts The Tutes, a small jazz band comprised of Bob Tute, Susie Tute, Peter Tute, Natalie Tute, J.J. Tute, and Pedro Tute. Viridi: They can't possibly all be related. Palutena: Alas, that's one of life's great mysteries. Pit: Sebastian's really throwing around these instruments, though! I've dodged pianos more times than I thought I would! Palutena: It's not just pianos! Sebastian can also play a drum solo that launches you back, roll a marimba across the floor, and he might even send you flying with a Bongo Rocket! Keep to the groove and get in there! Pit: Right!

okok so like consider

der monster klub sleepover right? y/n is invited (bc of course they’re a part of the klub) and all is good and well until julian has a nightmare and requests y/n to comfort him

i’m trying to make it vague so you can fill in the gaps and go crazy >:3 - very cool anon 👍: 2 electric boogaloo

Ok I got you and I’m gonna be making y/n gender neutral in this story if you don’t mind 😊

———————————————————————

It’s the end of class and you’re packing up your stuff to head home, the halls were very crowded today because of all the damages the ninja and robo-ape’s have done. You spot Theresa outside and run up to her.

Theresa noticed you running towards her and waved at you. You came to a halt and tried catching your breath, “Ok, so who’s house are we going to for the sleepover”? You asked Theresa, “I think it’s Juggos turn today”.

We waited for the bus to finally leave and once it did we discussed what we would do once we get to Juggos house. You got off the bus at your stop, you ran up to your front door and took out your key to open it.

Once inside you dropped your stuff in your room and hurried on packing stuff that you would bring, your pjs, sleeping bag and pillow. You got a message from your mom saying that she would be there soon. So you put on your shoes and decided to just be in your phone while you waited for your mom.

You were scrolling through social media for a bit when you came across a post Julian did. It was a pic of you so concentrated on a project you and him were doing in your English class. It was were you and him were assigned on creating a story. You both decided to do a backstory on a monster you two have created during a der monster klub meeting.

You smiled a little at the post then decided to comment on the post saying “m/n (monsters name) shall rule the world as his!!!”, once you posted it you laughed at yourself. You heard the honk from your moms car and quickly got up and grabbed your bag then headed out the door towards the car.

Once you got to Juggos house you waved your mom bye while she drives away. You felt excited because of the amount of fun stuff that Juggo has in his room. You knocked on the door to be greeted with Julian, “Y/N! Oh I’m so glad you were able to make it”. Julian gave you a big hug which you returned back to him.

Once Julian let go of you he let you inside where you greeted everyone else. You all were thinking on either creating more monsters or playing games that you guys brought. You said that you have smash bros, omori and undertale including your switch of course. Also uno, you knew that once the game of uno started it would be a disaster.

You all decided to play just dance that Dave brought for Juggos old WII. You have played this game on your brothers old WII a lot so you are very skilled on this game. You have won every round so far and you are very proud of yourself, “Haha, there is no one to be able to defeat me”, you said to yourself in a very dramatic way.

Just then Julian stepped up “Oh what’s this? Someone dare challenge me? Well go ahead then challenger”, you handed Julian a controller and you let him pick the song and he chose ‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead’ by set it off. The dance started alright then started to get more intense with the music.

You had it alright for a while in the song but you just now are starting to get tired but you refused to give up. You gave a quick glance at Julian to see how he’s doing and he seems to be getting a little bit tired but still had enough energy to keep going. You of course wouldn’t let that happen. So you kept going until the song finished.

Sadly you lost because your foot slipped on the floor causing you to loose a point you were close on getting. Causing Julian to have it instead. Julian helped you get back up. Once you all finished playing games you decided to have dinner. A reason why you liked coming over to Juggos house was because his mom made amazing food dishes.

You all discussed about your monsters and who would be the next to host the meeting. Once you all finished you all headed to Juggo room to set up your sleeping bags and brush your teeth. Dave and Julian went to sleep because they were tired while you, Theresa and Juggo were talking a bit until you decided to go to sleep.

Time passed a bit and you couldn’t sleep. Just as you closed your eyes again to try and sleep you felt someone give you a little nudge as if wondering if you were awake. You turned to see that it was Julian that was doing it. You sat up a bit, “Julian what are you doing awake?”, you asked him, “Sorry to awake you Y/N, but it’s that I had a nightmare and I didn’t like this one in particularly”.

You felt sympathy for him so you told him, “I can lay next to you if you want to help you be able to sleep if you want”. You gave him a little smile and he nodded back liking the idea. So you scooted your sleeping bag a bit so it could be next to his. You both laid down you extended your hand towards Julian to see if it would help him. Julian accepted the hand.

You gave Julian a tired smile and wished him sweet creepy dreams. He accepted the saying and wished the same for you and like that you both fell asleep with Julian knowing you were next to him if anything happened he knew you would keep him comfort.

———————————————————————

I hope this was alright as my first Julian fanfic💜

Also sorry if it’s too short and if anyone did read it could it be alright if you send in more requests that would be great. ☺️

[desperadosofficial]

what music/games do you all listen to

Doc here. The rest of the crew is out on operations and Carl is in surgery for the fifth time this year, so I'll answer you. Sorry 'bout the delay.

Mistral likes Arch Enemy a lot. I didn't really take her for a death metal gal, but hey, what do I know. She listens to a lot of New Wave, too. She LOVES Blondie and got me and the guys (except Sundowner) into Joy Division. Mistral also listens to a lot of film scores to wind down, especially Gladiator and Blade Runner.

As for games, I know she's a big fan of older action games, the older Resident Evils, Quake and Doom and whatnot. Talks a lot of shit in fps forums.

Monsoon is...something. Handing him the aux when we go out is like a game of auditory Russian roulette. He could put on some Ros Sereysothea from when he was a kid. He could play nothing but Die Antwoord. He could play 70's Queen. He could play incoherent electronic sounds until you scream at him.

He's the biggest gamer out of all of us, his favorites are DMC and Bayonetta. He's competing in the Wii Taser Boxing tournament with Sundowner and I now, and if he wins, we'll be hearing about it for the next six months.

Sundowner is a simple man. He likes rock, country, and that's about it. We have a lot of the same taste in country artists, we grew up on Cash, Nelson, Jennings, and, as much as he'll deny it, he'd take a bullet for Dolly Parton. Sadly, with the exception of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Motörhead, his taste in rock is a bag of hot shit. Once I tried to tell him Five Finger Death Punch is for angry alcoholics with erectile dysfunction and he just yelled "HELL YEAH BROTHER" and cranked it louder.

He isn't really a video game guy. The only video game he plays is Wii Sports, and he only plays it because I challenged him.

Sam, interestingly enough, likes grunge and 80's rock. Some of his favorite bands are Van Halen, Foo Fighters, and Iron Maiden. He can sing almost every Black Sabbath song in Portuguese. He's been trying to learn Eruption on guitar. Once we were out drinking and he somehow managed to play it flawlessly on some kid's ukulele. I guess beer gives him guitarist powers. Oh, and he loves Shakira. No matter where he is, if you put her on, he will drop everything and get up to dance. Flawlessly.

Sam's our second biggest gamer. He's a fighting game guy. I still can't beat him at Mortal Kombat or Guilty Gear. He could probably thrash me with his eyes shut, too. Maybe I'm too old for this shit.

Intern Carl probably listens to Imagine Dragons or some dumb shit like that. Probably plays Tetris on his stupid little phone.

I listen to a lot of country, I also had a buddy back at ArmsTech who got me into industrial music. We used to swap cassettes while we worked, I'd listen to his mix while he'd listen to my Merle tape. I hope he's doing well.

I haven't gamed much. I remember liking Half Life a lot when I was younger. Had a coworker who's last name was Freeman, so I used to mess with him, talking to him in an awful G-Man impression...miss that guy.

That should answer your question. Sorry again about the wait; Desperados stay pretty busy.

(WARNING: THIS TRANSCRIPT CONTAINS MENTIONS OF PRE-MEDITATED USAGE OF RACIAL SLURS, VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)

December 21, 2018 (Christmas 2018):

Trendy Troy: Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Fridays!

Tommy: Oh, hey there, Troy. You here to celebrate Christmas with us? I got a present for you as an apology for-

Trendy Troy: It's time for the moment you've all been waiting for! It's this week's Fridays... *joined by multiple voices in unison* MEME OF THE WEEK!!!

Tara (quietly): Where does that keep coming from?

Trendy Troy: And this week, it's something that all the kids want for Christmas. *pulls out a slip of paper that says... yeah* And it's this here! Now everyone can drop the best slur in the world with their very own N-WORD PASS!

Tommy and Tara (in unison): WHAT?!?!

Trendy Troy: Just look how free I am!

Tara: NO! TROY, STOP IT STOP IT STO-

Trendy Troy: HI, ALL YOU N-

(the transmission suddenly cuts to a technical difficulties screen for about 8-10 seconds, before cutting to Davis, in Scorpi's body, and Flare (one of his camera guys), viewing the broadcast in the Spikels' base with shock on their faces; the background music is absent for the rest of the segment)

Davis (in Scorpi's body): W-What the heck just happened?

Flare: Did that kid just attempt to drop a racial slur on live television?

Davis: I-...... I-I have no idea... I don't know anymore...

Flare: Okay, well.... Now what? W-We didn't have anything planned for this part of the show... G-Glomp, do you-

Glomp (Davis's other camera guy at the time): Hey, leave me out of this! I was only told by the crew to start recording whenever their cameras were rolling.

Davis: Well... I mean, it's about time for tonight's new Ed, Edd n Eddy Future, right?

Flare: Y-Yeah, I think so...

(no graphic appears onscreen as the segment fades to black once the next program begins)

================================================

Hello everyone, it's me, Davis (in the Cartoon World). This is it, the straw that broke the camel's back. The moment that the line was drawn. The end of the road for Trendy Troy. After something as awful as trying to say a racial slur on a live broadcast, action was taken very quickly. Trendy Troy was fired almost immediately, and he strangely was never seen again afterwards. Not long after, he also deleted all of his social media accounts. The rest of the cast and crew at the time were also nearly fired, but were pardoned once it was proven that no one knew of Trendy Troy's intentions beforehand, since he once again didn't bring it up during the script reading. The transmission from the Cartoon World stayed off for the rest of the night, so me and the camera guys tried to figure out what to do for the segments we didn't write scripts for. As expected, this broadcast was heavily criticized by many. Some of the hate just being from CCF purists as usual, but much more of it was from people who believed that Fridays was championing the usage of racial slurs. This, of course, was false. If it was true, we wouldn't have fired Trendy Troy because of it. Another batch of the hate came from the fact that despite this being a Christmas show, the lineup wasn't all that festive. Similar to Shocktober 2017, this was my fault. The Cartoon Network fan livestreams were doing something called "5 Days to Christmas". In honor of this, we decided to present new Winter-y episodes of our shows. However, there was only 1 big special (that Stick Friends special I mentioned a few days ago), and almost half the block was a mini-marathon of winter-y Wii Sports Resort, which was fine, but it just wasn't enough; it was still our big Christmas show after all. Here was the lineup:

7:00 PM - Stick Friends: A Christmas Promise

7:45 PM - Ed, Edd n Eddy (NEW)

8:00 PM - The Twisted World of Mixels (NEW)

8:30 PM - PBS Kids GO! (NEW)

9:00 PM - Ed, Edd n Eddy Future (NEW)

9:30 PM - Wii Sports Resort

10:00 PM - Wii Sports Resort (NEW)

10:30 PM - Wii Sports Resort

11:00 PM - Wii Sports Resort

11:30 PM - Wii Sports Resort

Thankfully, we made up for this when Christmas 2019 came around.

[bitnabelle]

Starting Point.

Spring, 2022.

These days, time hasn't been particularly kind to Bambina. Anxiousness threatens to overwhelm her as she incessantly taps the screen of her phone, scrolling through people's Instagram stories. Harvard, Columbia, Yale, UCLA, Northwestern, UPenn, Boston Uni… it seems like everyone from her school has received their acceptance letters and is flaunting them on the platform. Yet Bambina… still nothing. Jealous? Absolutely. Heartbroken? Beyond words.

Bambina wasn't the top student in her class, just average. But she was the captain of her cheerleading team, participated in numerous economics Olympiads, and organized many events. She thought it would be enough.

Bambina blink her eyes fast as there's a knock at her door. "Sweetie, can I come in?" her mom's gentle voice calls out, waiting for a response. "Uh-huh," she half-shouts, allowing the middle-aged woman to enter and sit beside her on the bed.

"아이구… 내 딸… 빛나야…," her mom embraces her, gently patting her head. "I know you're upset. But I hope you don't lose hope, okay?" her mother tells her, tightening the hug. "…but it means…," Bina breaks the hug, trying to hold back tears. "The only hope for me is WII, right? In Seoul…?" she emphasizes the city name, knowing it's a tough decision. "Yeah, Seoul? The city where your dad and I first met," her mother smiles, followed by her daughter's groan, tired of hearing that story.

"Okay, okay. No story-time! But," she playfully hugs her daughter again. "But I can promise you. You'll love the city as your second home. You can also visit your grandparents and our families there more often. And WII is a prestigious private campus there!" she tries to brighten the mood. Bambina decides to just smile; no need to complain or argue at this point.

"So, what time is the admission decision again?" her mother asks. "Um, it should be…," she looks at the clock on the wall, trying to calculate the time difference between Seoul and Los Angeles. "In ten minutes…?" her uncertainty makes the old woman gasp. "WELL what are you waiting for??? Bring your laptop here!!" she tells her daughter, getting excited, the opposite of her daughter's reaction.

It's not that Bambina doesn't want to go to Seoul. It's just… she hates the fact that she'll miss this city, where she was born and raised. She'll miss her parents and baby sister, her friends, her dogs, the places she loves to go… it's hard to leave LA.

Minutes pass, and she keeps refreshing the page, waiting for her application status to update. Then suddenly, a new notification pops up, causing the blood in Bambina's veins to rush. She closes her eyes for a moment, praying for the best result.

"Ready?" her mother asks.

She sighs, shaking her head slightly. "Here we go."

And she clicks.

Loading…

Loading…

Loading…

And suddenly her screen bursts with confetti and grand orchestral music, as if it's a welcoming anthem.

Her mother screams, ecstatic yet also relieved. She hugs her daughter once more, tighter this time, while Bambina is still processing what's happening.

"OH I NEED TO CALL YOUR FATHER RIGHT NOW!!!" she screams, frantically pressing the screen on her phone to call her husband.

"요보세요? 여보??? 우리 딸이 통과했어! 그녀는 서울에 갈거야! 그녀는 WII에 들어갔다!!!!!!"

[purplesurveys]

1812

How many pieces of gum have you chewed today? None. But the last time I chewed gum was in December when my teammate and Resident Gum Supplier Ruthie had a pack of gum with her and was giving it away after our team dinner hahaha.

Any big events coming up? There's my resignation coming up which I'm really looking forward to. It's really what my body and mental health are asking from me at this point. I'm still job-hunting at the moment, but in case that takes a while to settle I also have an agreement with my current company that they're ready to have a spot for me moreso for backend support – which I'm fine with. The main thing I just really no longer have the capacity for is dealing with clients.

Do you know anyone who is paralyzed? Yes.

What did you do last night? Applied for a couple more jobs, watched some videos here and there, and that's pretty much it. I was really tired and I didn't even have coffee the whole day so I was out by around 11 PM.

By doing that, what time did you go to bed? Oh hehe. ^ There ya go.

And what time did you wake up this morning? Initially it was around 7 AM, then I went back to sleep again and when I woke up it around 8:50 AM – just enough time to prep for work.

Have you been debating anything recently? You can say that, but it's a work issue and I don't care enough about it to expound on it in full detail here.

Who was the last person to text you? Work contact.

Are there icicles on the sides of your house? No, I live in Southeast Asia.

Do you get intimidated easily? Little bit, yeah. So I prefer to play it safe most of the time.

Does anything on your body hurt currently? Yup my upper back so the area around my shoulders and the back of my neck have felt extremely strained this week. I can't wait to more or less bathe myself in ointment tonight, lol.

Are you often trying to escape the inevitable? I guess so, especially if the 'inevitable' entails major changes. It's why I held out at my job for as long as I did or stayed in my previous relationship even when it was blatantly falling apart.

What were the first words you said today? I can't even remember. All I know is that I woke up with the heavy weight of anxiety that I usually wake up with on weekdays.

Which lyric is your favorite from the song you are listening to? I'm watching a video game playthrough at the moment, no music.

Does it hold any memories? Sure! It's a Mario Kart 8 video and it often makes me recall the fun I had playing Mario Kart Wii when I was younger.

Why did you last cry? Saturday.

Did someone see you crying? Probably. I was crying in my car, but the car parked beside me had someone inside (I assume they were waiting for someone) – considering I don't have much of a tint on my windows they probably saw me crying.

Do you crack your knuckles? Yeah at least once a day.

Is it really going to give you arthritis? They say it doesn't, but if it turns out to do so then it is what it is for me. I've been cracking my knuckles for as long as I can remember lol.

Are you excited for the new year? That's around...10 months from now, and it's so soon to tell haha. I'd like to give 2024 a chance as to what it can give me and where it can take me.

List three things you are excited for in ‘09? So that's 15 years ago, but I remember being excited to have my first pair of glasses; catching New Moon in the cinema (LOL); and the release of the Telephone music vide.

What is the wallpaper on your cellphone? Lock screen is of Namjoon's bare back hah, home screen is an OT7 military photo.

Where is your best friend right now? Either at home or spending the night out with her boyfriend.

Can you count to 100 in any other language? Filipino and Spanish.

Do you headbang often? Not anymore.

Magenta or orchid? Magenta.

Are you a fan of Rob Zombie? Nope.

Last two songs you listened to? Escape Route by Paramore & No. 2 by RM and Park Jiyoon.

Are there any shoes you are really wanting? It'd be cool to have Sambas but I'm in no rush to have them since everyone's still wearing them haha.

Describe what you are wearing? My AJ Lee t-shirt and my favorite pair of gray lounge shorts.

Look out the window - what do you see? My curtains blocking out the view.

Television or computer? Computer, if computer can also mean laptop.

Germany or France? France.

Hawthorne Heights or She Wants Revenge? I'm not familiar with either.

Nintendo Direct 9-14-23 Reaction Post!!

That's right, there's another Nintendo Direct, and I am a bit tired, I wasn't able to get any sleep last night!! (There was a dog taking up my entire bed)

It's starting!!

What's first for today...

Oh!! The Splatoon 3 DLC!! I guessed this right, in a Discord!! I wasn't expecting it to be the starting thing though/.. The feel of this is very different to normal Splats.. Is this the... Octo Subway? The Thing from Splatoon 2, but for Splatoon 3.. It escapes my head right now.. Very much a different tone

OH!! Order.. Like.. The other choice from that Splatfest!! Kinda a smart choice

MINI MARIO

YES YES YES YES MARIO VS DONKEY RETURNS??? THIS WAS LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES.. A REMAKE OF A GAME I REALLY LIKED?? Thank yous Nintedo!! Having to explain the game in the direct... But I wonder if it will still have all that silly music... Woah... Multiplayer... I wonder if it will have the E Reader Levels!! February 16th.. What a nice start..

I've heard of this series before, but after the previous announcement, I already got what I wanted--- Or rather, what I didn't know I wanted

Racing games... It looks like it was lagging a bit in the multiplayer..

A Rythym game--- I know that song.. I think? It feels familar..

AAAAAAAAH OOMFIE 2 JUMPSCARE

Oh! More details on the Mario RPG!! They changed stuff, will people enjoy it? Rematches are always fun!! The iconic Forest Maze Music.. I remember hearing that a lot in the past... Despite not playing the game...

Wait, from the Brawl Trophies... Nintendo really bringing back some dormant franchises.. It's nice to see them return.. I wonder if that other one might eventually return.. that.. I also can't recall the name of right now.. Wait it was just remakes?

The Peach RPG? The Sparkle Theater... New little guys... New designs in a Mario game!! Crownless Peach??

Kirby Peach... I guess this makes a lot of sense for a play, to wear costumes like that! That feels like a Mario Party Minigame.. Is this an RPG? It feels more.. adventure-y?

Showtime???

I can't tell if this is a remake or a new series.. Oh, it looks like a new Entry (Maybe?)

Tomb Raider.. I remember buying a bunch of them on Steam a long time ago... and I never ended up playing a single one.. Oops

Dectective Pikachu 2.. I started my day way too early... Goodman??

THIS GAME?? Trombone Hero.. I thought it was Wii Music 2 for a second.. this game is so silly.. Glad to see it on more platforms.. Wait.. Will there be Nintendo musics??

Some of these headlines are very generic.. Scary... A MOBA Battle Royale... That toneshift was kinda wild.. Contra is back?? Oh! Wayforward helped!!

Famicom Wars? I have no idea what game this could be... It feels weird to not have the normal narrator.. Unicorn Overlord is an odd name.

AAHHHHH Scary.. Luigi's Mansion 2 Dark Moon (very scary) Oh!! They put an "HD" onto the title!! I wonder what they will add!! I watched a let's play of this game way back.. I even was able to do a bit of Download play with a friend back in the day... I wonder if this also means a Polterpup plush rerelease.. Next Summer? That's pretty far off

Nintendo Gallery? Nintendo Muesum?? Nintendo's History is vast.. I would like to eventually see all the cool stuffs.. Amiibos!! Xenoblade Amiibos!! Smash Amiibos are over... OLIMAR SHOWN

F-ZERO?? NOOOOO BATTLE ROYALE??? DIDN'T SOMEONE PREDICT THIS?? I'm also really bad at F-Zero, judging by my current skills on the Switch Online App.. I am glad to see it return in some form.. This feels like... a Monkey Paw case...

A Party too wild... Wait is that just like.. the story of Kirby Epic Yarn?? Okay it has fishing.. awesome.. LEAGUE OF LEGENDS?? SCARY

WARIOWARE SMOOTH MOVES 2, THE FORMS ARE BACK... This game will be awesome.. I really need to make more space for it in my room.. FISHING!! That's quite soon!!

100 Heros.. Like.... Pikmin!!! Sharks.. (Magical Girls)

A Farming Game.. I really should get another one..

Making a Campaign seems pretty cool!!

Fishing!!

The final wave.... Diddy Kong!! FUNKY KONG!! Pauline!! Peachette!! They only showed off one track!!

Sus.... Wait.. New Map?? It's a shame that playing games like this are a bit too stressful for me...

Recaps!! PIKMIN SHOWN!!!

The finale..

PAPER MARIO THOUSAND YEAR DOOR HD... Now people can't complain anymore!!

Wait.. I think I mentioned in a chat that I would play it if they rereleased it...

A pretty nice direct, many games that I may eventually get in the future!!

Oh, there's a lot to get into here! I actually didn't grow up with RtDL, I barely grew up with Nintendo at all. I was a Sonic kid until 2015, when I got my 3DS and a couple months later Kirby Triple Deluxe. I thought it was OK, but when Planet Robobot came out that's when I got REALLY into Kirby. Hasn't left my thoughts since then. Then Team Kirby Clash Deluxe came out. Actually, I barely noticed Magolor. And then Star Allies came out too. I also had Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64, because for some reason once I chose Dream Land 3 over RtDL and didn't even end up playing all of the first level.

Sorry for the long set-up there.

My love for Magolor came, all at once, in mid 2018, from just reading a Kirby Wiki page about him. I read everything. His story. His betrayal. His reappearance. His design. His dialogue. I looked at all the pictures. I wanted the merchandise. I was instantly OBSESSED with him. I drew bad quality fanart. Imagine my excitement when later that year he was announced as a Dream Friend for Star Allies as well!

After Super Kirby Clash came out and I played it for a while, Magolor fell out of my thoughts for a while, but I was thinking about Kirby a bit less as well. He still remained my favourite, and that came back in full-force when I unlocked him the next year in Kirby Fighters 2 (and also whenever I replayed his Guest Star campaign...)

After this, a few years pass by. I still go back to older Kirby games, and every once in a while I play as Magolor. In 2022, I go on a Kirby game buying spree on my Wii U and 3DS and one of those games was RtDL. It was strange seeing an earlier version of one of my favourite "formulas" for a game in such a modern way, but I had a lot of fun with it and it cemented Magolor as one of my favourite characters not just from Kirby, but in general.

THEN they announced Return to Dream Land Deluxe. I couldn't be much more excited. It'd be great to see all those levels in a more modern light, and I get to see Magolor again! And THEN the existence of the Magolor leaked and shortly after a trailer came out too. I was RIDICULOUSLY excited. I get to play as Magolor, who was EXTREMELY fun in Star Allies, across brand-new levels! I waited, I pre-ordered, and it came out. I loved it. I played the game literally all day, for over 9 hours, until 1am as soon as it arrived. The whole main mode, and up to the final boss of Magolor Epilogue (but I didn't manage to beat it until after sleeping that day...)

To summarise, I love Magolor's design, I love the way he talks (and across the series he probably has more dialogue than any other character), I love all of the lore surrounding him, I love playing as him, I love fighting him, I love everything. Magolor means a lot to me.

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE MUSIC ASSOCIATED WITH HIM

Okay, I’m about to be controversial here. I enjoy Magolor, he holds a special place in my heart as I grew up playing RTDL, but like. Why are people so obsessed with him? What strange allure does he hold? Can someone explain to me the deep devotion for Magolor. Absolutely no judgement for loving him I just am curious what people like about him

i’m so concerned how the lifespan of memes are shortening. Like, someone will make a joke, then people oversaturate the joke across multiple platforms, then corporations try and capitalize it which is the unspoken signal that it’s dead and gone. I don’t see much room for the meme to evolve or live in internet consciousness to be used again, even as a vehicle for other memes/jokes and not as the central meme/joke in and of itself. I get that everyone wants to get in on the meme and trend themselves (who doesn’t wanna go viral?) but idk, we gotta give breathing room for it and maybe even enjoy the funny variations it has instead of sharing it all at once, at the same time.

Like, doge and top text/bottom text and vines are old by internet standards, and while people don’t use them as The joke anymore, they’ve since been used in other media content, even right AFTER they were considered “old” and they live on through that. That’s not what I see for new memes nowadays??? Like, I JUST found out what “Little Miss/Mr. X” was, and yet I see comments of it already being old? but it’s only been a week or so? Right? Am I old? is my sense of humor degrading? oh god, what if I’m complaining abt modern memes instead of laughing w/ it and I don’t even realize it??!!? goddamn i gotta sit down where’s my fucking cane

“You know, this thing we’ve got going on…. It’s pretty good, don’t you think?” Kenma stretches to prod you with a socked foot.

Scowling, you make an irritated noise at him. “Don’t talk to me. I hear that starman music and I am running away.”

It’s a Mario Kart night, because the only two games you’ll play with him are Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros (the wii versions). He likes playing with you - or so he claims - because at least you’re more enthusiastic than Kuroo and you aren’t smug when you win, unlike Kuroo. The real reason is that gaming pulls expressions out of you that he wouldn’t get to see otherwise.

Not that he’s ever telling you that.

Instead, he says, “I agreed to be captain next year.”

“Huh? Fuck, banana peel.” Then his words sink in, and you pause the game. “Wait. Captain? Seriously?”

“Yeah. I mean.” He rubs the back of his next awkwardly. “I know I’m not the captain type, but if you think about it… Would you trust Tora with the team?”

“Fukunaga, then.”

Kenma stays silent.

“You can say you just wanted to do it. I’m not going to.. like. Make fun of you or anything. Yeah, you’re kind of scrawny for a captain, and far from the most athletic-“

“Okay, now you’re just being rude.”

“-member of the team, but you have the heart and the mind for it. I think it’d work. Kenma! Oh my god.”

He shrugs, as if he hadn’t just directly attacked you with a fake item block while you were complimenting him. “You were being rude,” he repeats. “But thanks.”

“You don’t deserve me. Admit it.”

“You’re saying that like I don’t already admit it on the daily.”

“Oh, don’t get sappy on me.”

“I’m serious. You’re my best friend since Kuroo.”

“Your only friend since Kuroo?”

“Stop being rude.” He laughs. “I’m not afraid to push you off a cliff and back to 6th place.”

“Well,” you turn to Kenma as the pair of you cross the finish line, you a few milliseconds after Kenma. “I think, in honor of your promotion to captain, I should also get promoted. To Best Best Friend Ever in Kenma’s Whole Life.”

He likes the sound of that, but just to tease, he says, “Uhm… Kuroo?”

“Irrelevant. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”

“God, you’re making this sound like some sort of affair.”

Best friend in my whole life, huh, he thinks. Nice.

the way tommy uses music in his streams is so cool and heres why:

so im sure pretty most everyone can recognize the way music can influence the atmosphere or mood of a scene during a stream, but one of the key reasons it can do that is because of a musical term called ‘themes.’ this basically refers to a certain song or musical piece that represents a recurring idea or character as a whole (think Imperial March representing The Empire). tommy utilizes themes by playing a certain, well-known song within his streams, to represent something his character is feeling or doing. 

for example, Able Sisters. this is tommys theme. it represents him and his character. if he were to utilize the full potential of this theme, he could use it in moments where his character is doing something important for himself or doing important character work, but listen, these are twitch streams, not fully edited tv episodes so ill cut him some slack. but the point is, whenever you hear able sisters you think of tommy and what he represents as the current protagonist/hero and thats pretty cool for a bunch of notes in a specific order. 

but he uses other themes such as Super Mario World’s Castle to represent his character feeling trepidation or fear or monkaW, if you will. even if the scene isnt necessarily eerie yet, as soon as he puts that song on the audience knows what they should be feeling: uneasy and cautious. its such an easy way of connecting the audience to whats happening on screen without explicit exposition and its very pog. 

some more examples of this, because its cool to talk about it, is: Super Mario Bro’s Airship 1 and Deltarune’s Rude Buster to represent intense and energetic moments or the heat of battle! or maybe the music from Animal Crossing: New Leaf to represent fun easy light-hearted silliness. when this music is playing the audience doesnt need to expect intense roleplaying or serious lore and can enjoy an easygoing stream... for the time being. 

some very important and interesting things are also his opening and closing theme: Luvbird’s Recollections and the Wii Shop Music respectively. when you join tommys stream and youre immediately hit with his opening theme, you think, “yay tommyinnit stream its starting this is gonna be great its tommyinnit,” which is the point. and when you hear his closing theme ur like “oh look the stream is ending its been great cant wait to see the next one.” tommy doesnt even have to tell you these things, because the music tells you and i just think that is so very cool

Edit: can’t believe I forgot the prime music. Here y’all go, you get it by now.

So, last night I downloaded a bunch of DS rhythm games - mostly ones that had previously fallen under my radar. The issue with the DS' library in particular is that there was just. A lot of shovelware unceremoniously dumped onto it, so while there are a lot of worthwhile games on it a wide range of genres, finding actually, like….y'know…good stuff takes considerable digging. Thankfully, I like digging in the ground for tubers I mean good games

One of the titles I downloaded - and one that I posted about a little bit last night - was Monster Band (released as Music Monstars in Europe). It's an Elite Beat Agents-like, in that you have to hit shrinking targets in time to the music. While the gameplay itself isn't really a whole lot to write home about, the graphics are simple and fun (reminding me more than a little of Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove on the 3DS), and the licensed soundtrack, as stated previously, is fucking bananas. If it had been in production a few years later it would have one hundred percent had an endearingly shitty MIDI of Shakira's Loba in its roster.

Something about this game made it feel like a DSiWare title - it's short, it's simple, but it's so so weird. I think it's definitely worth checking out, if for nothing else than the pure novelty of some of the choice choons in it. It also includes a tool to let you mess around with the digital instruments that the game itself uses for its soundtrack, so that's pretty neat - I'm sure someone more musically-inclined than I could get a lot of use from that; I personally just smashed out the riff of Megalovania on the organ preset and called it a day.

Strangely, Europe got a pretty tonally-appropriate cover, while America got box art that was no doubt intended to confuse parents who kept getting harangued by their kids about the newest Rock Band game:

The other game I tested out…is…something called Dance: It's Your Stage! Apparently this was a multi-platform release, and while the Wii/PS3/XB3 versions are DDR clones (with the WORST arrow layouts I've ever seen in a game of its ilk. Yippee!!!!!!!!), the DS version is…also an Elite Beat Agents clone, except where Music Monstars was a lesser EBA clone for its lack of variety in its gameplay, this is a lesser EBA clone because it's simply not very good in any capacity, specifically not offering any of the feedback that EBA showcases.

Elite Beat Agents' marble mechanic, where you roll a ball from one marker to another at a consistent tempo so it "lands" in time with the music is by no means my favorite part of the game, but it does work in that game. Each note also plays a sound to let you know that you've hit it on time, but Dance: It's Your Stage has none of this auditory signaling, the marble mechanic confusingly never plays back at a speed that seems to fit the track (which is notable for how often it crops up in the charts), and….ough, the soundtrack.

I kind of knew instinctively that it was royalty-free music. There's nothing wrong with stock music - it's something that a human, somewhere, made. It's admirable. Royalty-free music, by design, however, is kind of made to slot in into the background without calling attention to itself, so it's an extremely odd choice for a rhythm game - none of the tracks are enough to really grab you, and all of the music is around the same middling BPM, so it's hard to convince yourself that there's really anything in the way of diversity in the audio.

Oh wait hold up. Live update while I'm typing this: this game was apparently a tie-in to a reality show that got cancelled after one season for low ratings. That makes sense. Uhh, I dunno, play Ontamarama instead of this. Ontamarama unironically rules.
