Sometimes I can't sit with my back pressed against something, so it leads to me sitting in stupid ah positions to make the tentacles I don't have comfortable

ALTERHUMANS I AM SUMMONING YOU

let's start a chain

everyone reblog with your alterhuman toxic trait

mine is that I forget that I'm not actually the size of a cat, which usually ends up with me stuck in a box

Something else I've come back to while thinking about my theoretical Metroid II re-remake, is another interesting thematic element of the descent.

I commented in a previous post several weeks back, that it's kinda interesting how for the most part Samus Returns and AM2R are pretty similar in how they interpreted most of the areas, with the distinct exception of The Tower. But on looking back at fully-detailed stitched map for Return Of Samus, it actually makes a lot of sense, and I was somewhat underselling the strength of its design before. The fact that the remakes mostly match up on what's a temple, what's a factory, and so on, stems in no small part from the tilework in the original game.

(Even the divergence between interpretations of The Tower comes from emphasizing different aspects; AM2R focuses more on the interior with all the beams, and the lake of acid/lava at the bottom, to make it a weapons facility and geothermal plant, while Samus Returns instead focuses on the twisting vines and thorns climbing up from the surrounding caves, to make it into a marshy jungle.)

---

But taking a step back to look at the big picture, there's a very very interesting progression as you delve deeper. The first section you visit seems to be a temple or a place of residence. Some weapons in the basement, and expansions out the wazoo, but the actual area is pretty innocious.

Second area, some sort of water processing facility given the pipes and the lake out back, which AM2R stuck close to, while Samus Returns reenvisioned it as more of a big dam structure. I actually like that slight modification a lot and will be incorporating that, partially because it fits slightly better with the following thematic progression IMO.

The third and fourth areas are sorta thematically linked with two sides of manufacturing; the factory, and the mines supplying it with raw materials. Here we see a more heavily industrious side to the Chozo, something AM2R in particular picked up on and emphasized further in a lot of ways.

Then there's The Tower. Has one of every beam, sits atop a lake of lava, thorny vines growing up the sides of the cavern it resides in. Setting aside both of the remakes' more colorful interpretations, there's something just very grandiose and dark about it, and one area where MII's level of screen crunch is kind of a detriment to fully appreciating. And I think, even in the absence of the need for redundant beams, AM2R had the right idea in labeling this a weapons facility.

(Following this is where AM2R inserts the Distribution Center. I love it, and it is a great extension of the industry idea, but in hindsight the placement after the Tower feels a little bit awkward.)

Long long tunnel, classic Metroid bubble area and Omega gauntlet. This all seems to be nature, so less relevant to this discussion, though the bit in the middle where the first Omega is introduced is something I wanna shine a spotlight on in a later post. Anyway, it's a long remote trek away from all the other places of civilization, ending with ascending a huge abyss to the final facility built above it.

And that final location, where the Queen resides, is a lab. Even before it was ever explicitly stated anywhere that the Chozo created the Metroids, I have zero doubt that the implications here were intended when the game was originally made. But it's an especially interesting thing when you look at the sequence it is the capstone to.

It's easy to miss otherwise, but looking at them all in context to each other, you wind up with a clear progression in the roles each facility plays. Simple hallmarks of civilization, to mild use of nature for that civilization, to heavier industry, to war. And beyond that, genetic engineering and extinction.

The Ice Beam is available again in the laboratory, behind a shattered statue. A gameplay convenience, but also a key piece of storytelling.

the thing about pro-life is...

even if an abortion was murder, the right to bodily autonomy overrides that

i know i worded that weird so let me explain

a fetus or embreyo is using the pregnant person's organs in order to survive, it can't live by itself

it is dependent on the pregnant person's organs in order to live

therefore if the person does not want that fetus there, if they do not want to carry that baby to term, they have a right to get that fetus out of their body

if something is using your body, living thing or no, without your PERMISSION and without you WANTING it to be there, bodily autonomy gives you the right to get rid of it

doesnt matter if that thing is a human

if it could be a human

if it could cure cancer

if it could end poverty

bodily autonomy gives YOU the right to CHOOSE

I do not think you can be an anti and like Nightmare. Sorry, but he is abusive. Please, make the old man abusive yaoi happen, stop trying to deny it's happening.

Hey Proshitter nation let’s make a huge list of media that antis should not like

Because I need to blow off some steam and I’m petty (and because half of this shit goes against their crappy rules of conduct /s) 👍

Let me start with-

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley

Danganronpa

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Creepypasta/Pokepasta of any kind

Demon Slayer/Kimetsu No Yaiba

Boyfriend to Death/The Price of Flesh

John Doe

Homestuck

Stranger Things

Team Fortress 2

Horror films of any kind, especially slasher films (they loooove the killers after all /j)

South Park

The Twilight franchise

Like a good portion of vocaloid music ESPECIALLY the producers who primarily make music with darker and heavier themes

Feel free to add anything else you want on this list!! 👌

💢 Antis piss off and stop looking at violent/sexual media because it directly contradicts your views on dark media

Oh gosh, this. I have NPD traits and heavily feel like I am entitled to telling people stuff that antis do. I will spend long moments thinking about how I want to tell people to die. But I never do. Because the thing is, it's not worth it. I would just be another hate comment on the Internet, and that's not what I want.

You're allowed to think it's gross.

You're allowed to think it "normalizes" the issue.

You're allowed to be disgusted.

You're even allowed to wish those people would kill themselves.

You are entitled to that opinion.

You are NOT, however, entitled to harassing that group of people just because you feel that way.

If you want people die, write about it in a journal.

If you have differing opinions, block the person.

You make yourself a worse person by acting on intrusive thoughts.

I hate the dsmp so much <- can't handle the emotions it causes her

[gayundertaletrash]

I feel like it's a mix. I don't experience romantic attractions very much, but I think NPD is related in the way, it can change how I see someone really fast, making me see someone as a friend to a person I don't need, which would stump any feelings from forming

demographics question:

i am aspec and npd is a reason why

i am not aspec and npd is a reason why

i am aspec and npd has nothing to do with it

i am not aspec and npd has nothing to do with it

nuance

see results

(notes: aspec, in this instance, refers to ALL THREE of asexual, aromantic, and aplatonic: if you are any of them, you would fall under this category. nuance is there for if you feel it's important to clarify that you are one and not the other, and that one is npd related and the other is not.

this is a question of absolutes. if npd has anything to do with your s/r/p identity, like if you didnt have npd your identity would be different in any way, answer yes on that part. if you feel youd still be the exact same without npd, choose no.)

*Aromantic, asexual, OR aplatonic

I’m so weird with my art and creations

I’m afraid of getting hate but at the same time I’m frustrated that I don’t get hate anymore because now that I’m actually an adult and some kind of confident with my art and myself so I could actually take the hate.

Also like someone calling me a weirdo or stupid or a creep for making an au about wrestlers mixing their gimmick canon with fiction and my experiences won’t be the end of me. I’ve been called a groomer for supporting trans rights that was like way worse.

Hate won’t be the death of me, but ignoring me will. I’m a little parasite that lives off of attention
