#overwatch liveblog

Good news, everyone - Shadowheart's ambient dialogue for when Rakha sits down next to her tent has been upgraded:

Rakha and Shadowheart have an interesting relationship. They don't really talk much, but I think Rakha feels somewhat comfortable with her, mostly because Shadowheart isn't effusive and also never seems particularly thrown by Rakha's behavior, no matter how weird it gets.

Thinking about this, they remind me of two kind of grumpy cats who kind of like to hang out vaguely near each other even though (or perhaps because) they never directly interact.

Parallel play where the play is brooding.

rereading going legit (one of the first pieces of junker content we got)

Marisha looks like she's prepped to do a Brigitte cosplay.

idk anything about ramattra but i think it's enough to be voiced by ramon tikaram & have someone playing him say thanks in game for me to fall in love

[codecicle]

honestly gonna leave the stream on as background noise while I try to sleep. godspeed everyone o7

DOCDOC BIRTHDAY WEEK EXTRAVAGANZA

HELLO AND WELCOME! For my birthday, i am getting to do things that *I* want to do, but I hope that you will love as well! Stuff we don't normally do, stuff I don't always have time for, etc. I hope this looks as fun to you as it does to me: BMuch of this I have handpicked as "Fuck I would love to do that if I had the time"

Saturday, August 10th: That evening, we'll have a lovely fun stream. The movie that won the draw out of the pitches was:

I FUCKING LOVE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT IN YEARS THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME IT EXISTED. It's so bad, it's so bad. It is so very much a shitty modern girlpower type fucking movie, it has NOT ONE IOTA of subtlety, it was basically a 60s-70s Western made with A Girl but trying to do business with the grittier Westerns of the 90s AMAZING. I CANNOT WAIT to tell you everything that is wrong with this movie, it is so fun and fucking stupid.

Sunday, August 11th: I'm running a race Full Send because this is how I have fun I guess but then, that evening, Jackbox games!

Monday, August 12th: The Patreon release of some more of Justified Episode one, and then that night, the movie club for The Lucky Mill! There's a separate post on that, I'll make sure to reblog it again a few times.

Tuesday, August 13th: First of all, It's Lena's birthday! According to my canon, the only one that matters. Weirdly this is not related to it being close to my birthday--I picked it out of a book about birthdays that I use for that sort of thing. I 'found' her personality and just made that her birthday. It's how I did it for all the Overwatch characters. ANYWAY.

It'll be a 'liveblog' (More like a series of long posts) about Season 2, Episode 9 of Vinland Saga. I streamed this show, and really really liked it, but Oath was, I think, my favorite of a series of very good episodes, and I can't wait to really talk about it.

Wednesday, August 14th: IT IS MY BIRTHDAY SHOWER ME WITH AFFECTION. I am going to the fair all day. It is also, no joke, Doc Holliday's birthday. How's that for fuckin kismet?

Thursday, August 15th: A series of unhinged essays about the television show Interview With The Vampire, deeply informed by the fact that the Vampire Chronicles were akin to my Harry fucking Potter when I was a deeply weird 13-16 year old. HUGE spoilers for the books, but honestly the TV show has been so different that it might NOT be a spoiler for the show ahaha. (I do very much like the show, in case anyone is worried it'll be a hateblog.)

That night: @keyofjetwolf and I will be watching S2E5 of Interview. She will have only seen UP to that point, and it's one of my favorite eps (I am sure all of you who have seen it know why)

Friday, August 16th: We finish off with a drunken stream. I will be asked to identify anime and what they are about in what I can only assume is some kind of Who Wants To Be A Weeaboo Piece of Shit, while I am drunk. May include audience participation. For any more detailed instructions/explanation, @ultrace is the main runner of this, with a heavy assist by @keyofjetwolf I think it will be very funny and I will do badly ahahah.

And that will be it! a full week of fun celebration! PLEASE JOIN ME AND HAVE FUN

ABOUT

☆彡 aria/vena. she/they. 18+. canadian. gif maker. warren foegele archivist. audhd legend. likes and follows come from @etherwaave

☆彡 i have hockey on pretty much all the time and i yap about EVERY GAME i watch. so be prepared for incoherent rambling about almost every team!

☆彡 my core team is the edmonton oilers. but you will always see me cry about warren foegele and ryan mcleod more than my own team.

☆彡 if you’re a minor, please tread carefully. i don’t /really/ post nsfw content but i also am an adult/have been one for a while so my filters are non-existent.

☆彡 rpf safe zone. i don’t write any myself (yet(?)) but i don’t have an issue with it. i’m just not big on reader/yn fics.

info about my favs under the cut

☆彡 warren foegele & ryan mcleod - THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS LOCAL BOTTOM SIX PLAYERS THAT WERE RIPPED FROM MY GRASP. i will follow them wherever they go. foegs is the core of my hyperfixation but clouder is the one who got me here. they go hand in hand and i will never let them go.

☆彡 edmonton oilers - I CHEER FOR THEM! they are my special local guys and they make the city exciting!! i cheer for the team but i love the energy and community locally. i am very critical of them but it’s just because i want the cup to come home :( my current favs are… idk i lost my fellas in the offseason. i guess it’s gotta be janmark, connor brown and henrique 💙🧡

☆彡 the side teams - when the oilers aren’t on i 100% have another game running. my go to teams are the ottawa senators, la kings, buffalo sabres, new york rangers, colorado avalanche and the toronto maple leafs! but if none of these teams are playing i’ll just put another game on anyway ✌️ i will be in your liveblog tags sorryyyyy

☆彡 public enemy number one - in my heart, i am a hater. sports are emotionally charged and i say a lot of things in the heat of the moment. i’ll try my best to tag properly but be careful if you like the dallas stars, florida panthers or your team is playing mine in the playoffs.

☆彡 outside of hockey - i like gatcha games, anime, esports, photography, fashion, art. pretty much everything. i’m a person of many talents and interests. if you let me ramble about pixar cars or overwatch you’re instantly in my good books!!

and one last thing…

[caboosie]

🎀💫!!

🎀 - give yourself a compliment about your own writing

Danni I'm so bad at giving myself compliments whhhyyyyyy. But okay I'll cheat and use a comment someone gave me about an Overwatch fic somewhat recently: I think I'm surprisingly better at action sequences than I think I am?? Which is great because I have no idea what I'm doing when I write them! 8D

💫 - what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

oh man okay back in the Livejournal days, I had a friend who would kind of leave comments that were basically liveblogging the fic chapter? So they'd quote stuff and react to stuff as they were reading and it was just such a delight to reaaad haha. I should really try and do that when leaving comments myself come to think of it!!

(but really. honestly, anything. any comment even if it's just a bunch of heart emojis is incredible to receive)

Sonic the Comic Liveblog: Issue 96

Its rather charming that on this scan you can still kinda see the sticky tape used to attach the free badge

Hello almost naked hippo man, what is your deal?

This entire New Tek City arc really is just one superhero comic reference after another, isn't it?

Honestly I feel like these guys are not just a parody of the X-men, but of comics in general during the 90s

I do like the background gag of the snowman monkey hero just gradually melting away as the story goes on.

We return to Knuckles! And I can't believe I didn't make a Winston Overwatch joke with this gorilla guy last issue.

…that spell could've gone in a different direction and I'm very glad it didn't

Those are some very judgy trees

It's a very nice little ending to this story

Oh dear, we are back to the one-off solo Tails stories. I kinda wish we could return to the Tails stories where he was adventuring in other zones, becasue I feel like those stories had slow, but genuine character development for him.

Well, let's move on quickly to the next story. Starting off, what animals are this family? If this was any other franchise other than Sonic I'd guess hedgehog, but it obviously cant be that so I have no idea

It is a very cool concept for a story though, to see the civillians of mobius fight against Robotnik in their own little ways.

He'll likely just be a one-off character but I wouldn't mind if this TV presenter character made a return in the future

I'm showing off the whole Speedlines section this time because these are two really neat artworks. On the left we have what I think is a really cool early example of digital fanart; as a reminder this issue was published in early 1997! On the right is just a sweet example of a mum being involved in her child's interests. I think she'd be really interesting person to meet.

notes and highlights from reading my discord message history (2016):

girl u used to be so sillay. I should get silly with it sometimes

2016 me was a little confused but was also so fucking right about lars steven universe

ough. Failure to recognize imminent trump presidency. You stupid fucking liberal ffs

do u rember enjoying overwatch. I rember...

Liveblogging the sonic 2016 stream like "this new charmy bee album is bussin"

"I just saw the quintessential torb potg"

"beginning with him dying"

hanging on his corpse for the full respawn timer"

"while his turret did the hard work"

"predictably nowhere onscreen"

I was the first drop dash hater. If there are no more drop dash haters i am dead

attempting to read through this sexting now KNOWING FOR SURE i was absolutely faking it is. cringe

S. Skoop. I forgot that i called skype "skoop" (and that there was a brief period where i had it on my phone while discord was on my pc)

Talking about multiple story/game concepts i have since abandoned. Death

Doesn't matter if it's 2013, 2016, or 2024; somebody somewhere is complaining about JJ Abrams. It is probably me

There was a dang stevenbomb when these messages start and tbh I was right on the money abt steven universe in general. More ppl should have listened to me instead

huniepop lmao

I was still in iPhone Hell

Making comments to friends about things i refuse to share or elaborate on. I have learned nothing

playing ALL the hits tbh we even got Complain About Family in here

Scoutposting but it's overwatch

"defense shouldn't have left the point undefended"

Bitch shut UP about Pokémon

Oh my GOD just Shut Up About Video Games in general

The Sword Art Online hater has logged on

All these tumblr links that don't work anymore. Sad

How did i make it to 22 without realizing i was experiencing caffeine withdrawal

Yes yes past robin you've got nintendo diagnosed as fuck can you not sound rude and elitist and also cryptoracist about it

(three hours worth of messages just ranting about nintendo jfc. 2009 youtube would have loved me)

The Traumadumping,

Watch watch. You can see the exact moment steven universe rips her heart in half

Reading through basically all the previous things in varying order. Knowing what's coming up.

The moment

Oh no... The Federation Force announcement. The five stages of grief logged in real time

girl your dick was not out for harambe you did not even know what that meant

Hare-brained game concepts part 3027498: radio station with hundreds of hours of recorded dj voice lines

360 controller sucks send post

It is so easy to tell what youtube poop i was hyperfixated on at any given point

girl u really went looking for and personally banned specific slurs in your twitch chat and proceeded to NEVER STREAM. Self-harm champion. Self-harm's strongest warrior

Oh my god. The inception of steam user gofasthog was on my birthday

Is sent jerma rumble live-action with no prior knowledge or context. Complains

Affirming my girlfriend's life choices and gender. Rare pre-crack based moment

Not long now

The PSVita Chronicles. Very short-lived

"Why is twitter orange" wtf are you on about

September 26th, 2016; 09:00 AM PDT:

There really is like. A shift in my tone after this. Immediately so much performative anger is just gone

"I'm trying not to think about it tbh" no you should be thinking about it more. More please for your health pLEASE think of the hips you are going to lose your chance

Lesbian Gay Bacon Tomato Quiche Ice Arson. I cracked the code

Impostor syndrome. Envy. Jealousy. Girlthing you need to chill

Posting through having my shoes disintegrate instead of asking for a new pair. Lol. Lmao even

Finally watched the jerma rumble series and enjoyed myself. The redemption arc we all deserved and didn't know we needed

Utterly failing to code basic game functions. I needed my girlf frend to help me she is so smart and cute and lovely

the wii u woes

And the switch jokes. They're bad! They're very bad

I had played the paladins beta. You can tell because i complained about torbjörn overwatch again

Civ VI release date, or: how i learned that having good CPU was actually really important

Also the day i committed to my new name

More coding failure

Mere hours before the election polls are called it dawns on us both that we really are going to get a trump presidency and i weep with despair while trying to convince us both that the worst won't happen

(It didn't. We are alive and together)

You can see me desperately struggling with the growing reality that i am not as politically reasonable as i consider myself

A dark pall over the holidays. I won't elaborate. I don’t think it's necessary
