//edit 2: I'm turning off reblogs for a bit because I got a lot of reblogs and I can only handle so many people, I'll probably turn them back on once I'm done but that might be a while because I've been exhausted in every way I could be recently and I really really don't want to burn myself out, thank you for all the interaction and I really hope you all enjoy what I come up with even if it takes a while :]

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

[rebelcourtesan]

I just played . . .

Taking place in a small town of Gallows Creek during the 1980's, you are Forrest Nash, the new radio DJ from Chicago who assumes the role of a late night show host for the town's only radio station. While expecting a slow night of music and silly contests, things take a dark turn when you receive news of a murder which throws Forrest into the role of savior for the town.

There's a killer loose in Gallows Creek and people are in danger and Forrest Nash is their only hope of saving lives and uncovering the town's dark secret.

Okay, a lot of things to point out.

Strong Narrative - Meaning there is a LOT of dialogue between Forrest, his producer Peggy, and the numerous callers who need their help eluding a killer. Walking a jogger who lost her keys hotwire her car to escape the killer and aiding teenagers trapped in an abandoned house come up with an escape plan are just a couple of the things you'll be doing in this game.

Puzzles - The puzzles that range from easy to mid level difficulty. I actually had a pen and notebook next to me to take notes of anything that seemed important, but they were all fun. As long as you pay attention and be investigative, you should figure them out. However, be sure to save often incase you get something wrong and want to retry, you can easily reload to a previous save so you can try again.

Interactive - You are literally a radio dj. Meaning you can put on songs from a collecting of vinyl records, fulfilling song requests, and play ads. There are hidden records you can find throughout the studio as you explore to find clues to aid you in recusing the citizens of Gallows Creek.

Game Length - The game is only a few hours long. Easily beatable in an afternoon or evening. (Better to play at night for the creep factor).

Atmosphere - Perfect. It really captures the tension and atmosphere of 80's slasher films. Every time I left the booth to explore the studio, the music would change to a low tense beat, reminding me there's a killer out there.

I know Diablo 4 is just around the corner for a lot of people, but I would for this gem to be buried under the hype for Diablo 4. While I'm sure Diablo will be a great game, I also believe Killer Requency is a great game too. And I also believe great games deserve great attention.

So give this game a shot on Steam, PS5, and there is also a VR version available.

Hey there you little shits (/pos)

So recently I have mentioned a webtoon that I’ve been working on. Now, while it is no where near finished, I really need some help. Even if you don’t know me super well or at all. Even if you don’t care about this (I can respect that)

So I have a character in my webtoon who is mute and communicates through sign language. I’m going to be honest I don’t know too much on this specific topic so I came here for help. I really want to know

What is a stereotype/way it’s depicted in media/common misconception that bothers you? As many as you want, the more the better!

My main goal here is to make this character & their experiences realistic as possible. I really don’t want accidentally portray some form of misinformation.

Thank you to everyone who read this through <3

I hope you have an absolutely lovely day

Magical girl ramblings of the day: GUSHING OVER MAGICAL GIRLS

I think it’s the best time to bring this manga series up considering it’s getting an anime adaption next year.

First and foremost I’d like to clarify that I don think anyone should watch this anime when it comes out, or even slightly support it.

Now onto what the manga is about; it’s about a girl who’s super into the Tres Magia, a trio of pastel magical girls who fight the forces of evil. She gets confronted by a creature who asks if she’d like to be like them too, which she eagerly agrees before transforming into a bdsm based outfit, and being declared on the enemy side.

I went into this manga knowing purely it had Yuri, and I thought that was interesting and the designs and magic system seemed cute before I was jumpscared with bdsm. To be frank, nsfw mangas are okay but not when they involve children. It gets worse when they get a 8 year old on the enemy team, and they proclaim her as dirtier than the rest of them, with her powers also being bdsm based.

That’s when I dropped the manga. I tried pursuing through it so I could atleast write a good review on it, but I couldn’t continue once the 8 year old was brought into the picture. I’m disgusted that this manga is getting an anime adaption but then again, Miss Kobayashis Dragon Maid got one too. It’s sad that we keep getting anime adaptations of blatant ch***p**n.

I only wanted to make this post because I don’t think a lot of people understand just how horrific this anime will be, if based on the manga. It’s not cute, it’s not good Yuri. If you want something cute with good Yuri in the magical girl franchise, I beg you to seek other media. Such as Madoka Magica, Magical Girl Raising Project, Sailor Moon, and so much more.

Hot Wheels: Let's Race - Season 2 Thoughts

Season 2 has been out for a few days now, and I've watched every episode at least once through, so I'm finally going through all of my thoughts on the show, what's going on, and what I think is going to happen next. The joy of serialized kids shows!

Everything will be under the cut, just in case. Spoiler alert for all of season two!

First off- we're finally introduced formally to our "mystery racer"- Cruise! She's the daughter of the villain of the first season, Professor Rearview, and a racer in her own right. I have to say, I think her character design is very clever, having the shape of her pigtails match Professor Rearview's big hair! i know some people may not like that Cruise is his daughter, as opposed to a grandchild or niece, but I think that the fact of her being a direct descendant makes more sense for the story they're telling. That and there's fun to be had with Professor Rearview being an evil dad.

Cruise is undeniably the highlight of the season for me, and my new favorite. I enjoy the angle of the racers having a non-camper opponent, as the lack of constant close proximity, or down-time with one another means they don't have to be cordial or polite towards Cruise, and we see a lot of more intense emotions fester as a result- especially on Coop's end.

I also think in general, Coop as a character works much better in this season. The pre-established motivation, plus his new outstanding title as the camp champ are threatened directly by Cruise, as he is her primary target to beat, and the determination and vigor it brings out in him is very entertaining to watch.

The rest of the racers sadly don't fare as well, as it feels like they take more of a backseat when compared to season 1, outside of a character focus episode. This feels especially apparent with Axle, who has gone from his role as the main rival, to being good-aligned all of the time. His personality is still intact, but It feels very odd to see him so reduced in role, as the show doesn't frame him as a threat to Cruise also- despite the fact he is probably the only racer outside of Coop who could pose such a threat. The rest of the cast seem much more competitive when Cruise is not in the picture, but once she is, the show relegates them back to supporting roles. Considering the show's age demographic and the story it wants to tell, this isn't a huge problem, but nonetheless a little sad to see.

We also get a bit of backstory for Dash and Professor Rearview! I'm surprised to see they're the same age- either Dash has aged really well, or Professor Rearview has aged terribly. It's interesting to see they were campers at the same time. Were they friends? The amount of team-strengthening exercises that Dash has her own campers do is re-contextualized by this reveal- is she trying to prevent a repeat of what became of Rearview by making sure they do actually like eachother and get along, meaning the jealousy that comes with losing is minimal, or reduced because they can feel good for the person who does win because they are friends?

The environment that Dash and Rearview were in was clearly far more competitive and unforgiving. Of course, we can't pin it all on just that, as Professor Rearview's coping mechanism and overreaction to his loss is his own fault. Explanations, not excuses. And carrying this grudge for at least 30 years, it has long passed being something to be blamed on the conditions of the environment.

I'd love to see a flashback episode regarding their time at the Ultimate Garage honestly! Who were the other four campers who they trained alongside? I'd like to think maybe Axle's dad, Striker, was one of them. Seeing the exact conditions of the race would certainly help to clarify as much. Not to mention, they already have the 3D models for young Dash and Rearview...

One thing that was made clear by the episode count, and the season ending about half-way through the level 2 arc is that season 2 has been split in half, and the season 3 we're to get is really the second half of season 2. Which means more time to dwell on what we've gotten, and who will be the winner of the Ultimate Garage. There's also the question of whether the show will redeem Cruise, and have her join the side of good. I personally am conflicted? It would be interesting, and makes sense, but we are also yet to see any desire to change- let alone Cruise's own motivation and feelings towards her father's plans.

One thing I wish we had seen was a slower moment between Cruise and someone else, particularly any of the racers! I think the show would have it be Coop, as he is our main character, and I don't really have an issue with such. Season 1 gave us a whole episode where he was made to work with Axle, and it gave us a better insight into his character, motivation, and storyline. I think an episode like this with Cruise, under a circumstance that suits their storyline and characters better, would work wonders. Cruise clearly LIKES to race, and yet she is willing to help her father win it in order to destroy it? There's the general question of why Professor Rearview would even allow his daughter to be a racer, but considering he was a former racer, I suppose it would be a waste to not pass on those skills. Is Cruise of the belief that her father will spare her car, and allow her to keep racing? I want to see Cruise forced to talk to someone so that we get these answers.

As mentioned in a prior post, I have two theories regarding the next season's end, the winner of the Ultimate Garage, and the events that could follow. These are both hypotheticals in which Cruise does get a redemption arc, so both of these could very easily be wrong, and Cruise could remain evil, which still would be fun to see.

Option 1: Coop wins the Ultimate Garage. Coop manages to catch up in flame badges to Cruise, leaving the final race as to being between the both of them. Coop ends up winning the big race, much to the delight of the other camp racers, Dash, and his father. However, this victory does not stop Professor Rearview, and he puts his plan into motion to destroy the Ultimate Garage anyways. The campers and Dash all band together to stop him, but It's not enough. All hope seems lost, and there is a moment between Professor Rearview and Cruise where Cruise comes to the realization that their plan working means she will never race again, and lashing out in anger to get a victory that destroys the rich car culture of the city, and takes away something she loves, is just not worth it. She'd rather race again and get a chance to prove herself and improve, rather go down as a sore loser. Using her knowledge of her father, her car's unique abilities, and a little encouragement from Coop and the other campers, Cruise helps to stop his plan. After his defeat, Coop invites the other racers to continue staying with him at the Ultimate Garage, wanting them all to continue improving together. He also ends up extending the invite to Cruise, considering that now she has no place to go, as she's betrayed her father, and now that she's "good".

Option 2: Cruise wins the Ultimate Garage. Despite the campers' best efforts to beat her, Cruise still ends up winning out, and is rewarded with the ownership of the Ultimate Garage, much to the despair of everyone else. She excitedly shares the news with her Father, who is excited to begin the plans to destroy the whole thing. However, Cruise is starting to have doubts. She has all of these amazing cars and resources at her fingertips now, and she can use these to become an even better racer! She tries to convince her father that maybe they don't have to destroy everything, and can keep some of it intact, but he is not having any of that. He's looked forward to this for years! Realizing that he won't listen, Cruise instead asks for help from the campers, admitting that she was wrong, and needs their help now to stop Professor Rearview. Reluctantly, they choose to believe and trust her, and foil the plans with their racing skills. Once he is stopped, Cruise attempts to hand back over ownership of the garage, but the others insist she keep it. They come to a compromise- they'll share. After all, there's a lot they can all still learn from one another, as people and as racers.

Thanks for reading all of the way through! What are your thoughts on the new season, and your theories, if you have any ! I'd love to hear what everyone has to say!

ARC reviewers wanted!

Please reblog if you know any avid readers who frequently review books online! Especially if they enjoy novels containing: - fae - witches - angst-free queerness - romance - a cozy noblebright mood even amid magical disaster - '90s cover bands I seek reviewers and general word-of-mouth-spreaders for my novel Ballad for Jasmine Town, which contains all of the above. (As to the romance and queerness, the main couple is a trans man and a bi woman, in case you prefer to know such details.) It can be requested on NetGalley and Edelweiss right now, or I could email you an ARC in PDF or epub format.

Here is the publisher page if you’d like to read more about it. (Though distributed by Simon & Schuster, the book is independent-press-published. The publishing world is complicated.) For those who've read Lava Red Feather Blue: it takes place in the same country and has some overlapping events, but you don't have to read one book to make sense of the other. They are both stand-alones. Thank you in advance, and I hope it finds some happy readers!

!!!NEW REVIEW!!!

the first Looney Tune of the 1941-1942 season is one of the LT shorts i personally have the most opinions and theories and feelings on out of the entire run—a very promising start to a very promising season!

perhaps best known for its own remake, 1948’s Back Alley Oproar starring Sylvester and Elmer Fudd, Notes to You is a hidden gem of musical timing, behavioral comedy, empathetic portrayal of characters, immersive storytelling, dubious directing to keep the audience guessing, and perhaps the bearer of the darkest ending to any Looney Tune. all high praise for such a seemingly innocuous short about Porky’s plans to get a good’s night sleep being repeatedly violated by a cat with an insatiable itch for music—and heckling.

Okay so I'm& revitalizing this again.

Hi, my& name's Arcana& / Angel&, and I& am the core / host / singletsona of The Imaginarians Galaxy. If you want to help support a local queer, trans, nonbinary, genderfluid, intersex, mspec, aspec, autistic, disabled, neurodivergent, hoh, chronically ill, psychotic spoonie witch two spirited mixed native and ashkenazi jewish bodied multigenic DID system who's an aspiring activist, fashion model, voice & film actrex, ASMRtist, youtuber/vtuber, polyglot & writer, it'd be greatly appreciated.

This month is Pride Month & Indigenous History Month so please support our indigenous turtle island communities, know who's land you're on and support queer indigenous turtle islander creators, & on top of that, July 13th is also my& birthday & July is also Disability Pride Month & Queer Wrath Month !! I& just find it's funny how white queers get all this support & clout, but the minute a queer Native Jew asks for any kind of mutual assistance, it's like cricket noises, but anyway, here I& go again, I'm& putting out these links just in case someone actually does wanna help out because it's only right to do so being an indigenous queer two spirited bodied system, after all.

If you're white, you can think of this as paying reparations for us& for dealing with antinative racism, antisemitism, ableism, sanism, pluralphobia, psyism, audism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, multitransphobia, aphobia, exorsexism, intersexism and the ongoing colonization of my& people and fighting on the behalf of the indigenous, queer and plural communities on here while for any POC reading this, you can think of this as extending your solidarity with us&, so after I& spent a lot of blood sweats and tears into what i& do, I'm& finally asking something that would benefit me& for a change, even like 10$ could help, but even if you still can't for whatever reason, please spread the word out to help us& live easier as a disabled, neurodivergent mixed native system in this ableist & racist world.

So far these are the best ways to support us&. Information on commissions, booking tarot readings with me& as well as sensitivity reader information will be available in a reblog eventually.

We& didn't have a great childhood growing up as we& were abused for a decade & we& weren't taught many lifeskills so we're& still learning from the gate. Even though we aren't in a life threatening emergency, I'm& generally not in the right financial space to spend a lot & buying my& own shit because I'm& Saving Up™ for a lot of things, including the possibility of me& moving to my& first ever apartment next year & my& future service dog & I& cannot work due to my& multiple disabilities, & I& can't stand up for long periods of time without feeling exhausted & just being an overall madcripple, so whatever you do, it'd be greatly appreciated, especially if you like our& content.

Remember, reblogs > likes!

obscure things i think are very very underrated, part 1:

one: _.iCEY_ (9.99/10). basically megaman x pony island x the stanley parable x portal. ost was great, gameplay was awesome and easy to use, despite the easily adaptable controls the enemies were still hard, once you get used to the gameplay you can focus on the story which is nice. my only takeback is the fact that i had to use a guide to figure out which order to do things in since it was kind of confusing at times. overall amazing game.

two: The Final Battle of Geometry Dash series (8.5/10). cringe was immaculate [/pos]. amazing series and original concepts, however some of the storylines tend to be the same/repeated. no takebacks for grammar issues, as english isn't PhoeniX and rmr24HD's first language. the order in which you need to watch the series is convoluted for anyone who watched after 2020, however i've made a google doc to order them. (happy watching!)

three: The Heroic Six (>5/10). no episodes have come out at the time of writing this (may 18/2024), however there have been several shorts, trailers and other sneak peaks. to sum it up, it's basically My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic meets Cookie Run. which is a cool concept in and of itself, and i can't wait to see where it goes!

four: Epithet Erased (9.45/10). a D&D campaign where everyone needs therapy. not only are all the main characters Epithet-users, they're also more neurodivergent than a goddamn rainbow infinity symbol. voice acting is awesome, the animation takes a bit to get used to but it works really well with the theme, humor is good too (sylvie is peak, imo).

Silent Laughter: Chapter 1

I looked at my calendar. Twenty X’s for twenty days. I had no idea when, or if, my old life - the life where I was happy - was ever coming back. My guess was that it wasn't. People don’t just rise from the dead. But to be fair, after everything that had happened, I wouldn’t be that surprised.

I normally don’t mark my calendar as the days go by. I found it just made it messy. But I wanted to keep track of how long it had been since it had happened. And how long it would take until it found me hiding in my shed. How long could I survive? My family didn’t even make it for twenty days. How could I last one more?

Twenty-two days earlier:

‘I don’t know what we’re going to do Jimmy,’ my mother told me, as we sat on the couch together. ‘We could make an appointment with the doctor’s if you think that would help.’

‘Probably wouldn’t,’ I lied. In truth, I just didn’t want to go to the doctor’s place. There were too many sick people there. ‘I read a book once, where the main character would have nightmares, and the doctor’s told him to be very active throughout the day, so that by the time he went to bed, he would be too exhausted to dream anything.’

‘Did it work?’ My mum asked.

‘Yup.’

‘Fine. You can try it. But if it doesn’t work, we’re taking you to the doctor’s whether you like it or not,’ mum told me sternly. I nodded in reply. Anything to get me away from the doctor’s I thought.

I must not have been tired enough that night, because the sleep paralysis still happened. But this time it was different. Normally, a figure would be standing in the corner of my room, eventually to reveal itself as my mum, but with a distorted looking face. The creature would then laugh, without any noise, throwing its head back, a wide open smile forming, splitting open the face all the way to the ears, then ripping back, so the head from the mouth up would drop to the ground. The body would then turn into ribbons made of flesh, which would slither over to my bed and tie me to it. That’s when I would wake up in a cold sweat. 

But this dream was different. I saw a figure, not in the corner of my room, but at the front of my bed. It was hanging, by what seemed to be a silhouette of a noose. The figure’s back was facing me, but it was spinning around slowly to face me. When it did, I saw my mum’s face. Her regular face, not distorted in any way. She looked normal, the only thing different being her blue face. But as I looked closer I saw that that was not the only thing wrong.

She had no eyes.

Where they were supposed to be were just black holes. Even then she still seemed to be staring at me.

I woke up. I wasn’t sweating, but I felt really sick, like I was going to throw up. I looked at the clock across my room and saw that it was 3:11am. I threw my blankets off of me and walked out into the hallway, heading to my parents room. What I saw did make me throw up at my feet. When I looked up again I saw that I wasn’t crazy.

Hanging from the foot of the bed was my mother, her eyes missing,her face blue. Just like my nightmare.

Next Chapter ->

If you have any feedback or suggestions than please tell me. Please review if you like it. I am slowly loosing self confidence.

Bloodmarked (Tracy Deonn)

My expectations were high and yet I wasn't disappointed

The plot is an excellent balance of action packed and slower character moments, I could barely put it down and I'm still thinking about it days later

Another cliffhanger ending though 😭

This book made me happy

so. I made an etsy shop.

well, I did it. made an etsy shop. it’s not the most diverse yet but I do have some Final Girlfriends, Final Boyfriends, and Final Queer stickers up if that’s something you’d be interested in? also have some whimsigoth/goblincore mugs and other items. will be expanding over the year. some items are totally my own, and some include elements from canva or commercially licensed resources that I bought off etsy. any sales I receive will go towards our efforts to move out from living with conservative, transphobic family.
