volo goes to court

[kenny-the-blink]

My gacha life roots are grabbing at me

[unoriginal-and-dumb]

Ok i did it, now i can throw him at the wall in real life 😊

Sorry about bad vid/photoquality my phone is old and i took pictures on my bed with dead space remake as a stand.

More info and pictures… ⬇️

I made the armature with jewelry wire (i dont recommend) and tinfoil

The actual sculpting part was done in polymer clay, i dont have any clay tools so thats kinda why its not the smoothest (😓)

Painting with acrylic paints, varnished with what was supposed to be a matte spray, ended up a bit glossy but i just wont think about that

Pretty proud of the boots, ive never sculpted shoes in detail, and ive also never sculpted a nose before (besides my pizza tower figures but those dont count)

Mother fucker took 26 hours i know because i watched 2 ten hour videos and im guessing for the extra 6

Pretty cool cant wait to not sculpt again for another 6 months straight

remake of my most popular vid hdj

old ver:

[skamcroatia]

Hi, it seems that the official youtube account will offer subtitles too (the trailer did), so if it ends up so, you could push as much people as you can towards the official vids so they could gain more views it would be great :) movie and tv industry in croatia is horrible, we really need this to succeed, and I saw already that an unofficial insta account has more followers than the og. Idk, I am very happy that so many people are interested, but I don''t want the crew to be discouraged. Please don't take any offense from this, I am thankful for giving publicity to our version <3<3<3

I translated the trailer before those subtitles went up on the official channel. Also, I am promoting the official channel everywhere and trying drive as much engagement to the official sources. I also made sure not to cross social network paths so am not on insta or tiktok and my YouTube is 6yrs old. Established way before this remake.

I do understand your concern but am also in tricky spot because I want the remake to succeed but people also need to know that it exist. Hence why I went pretty hard on the promotion of it. Across all my networks and other skam influencers like AllOfSKAM. Being an old guard Skam vet we just have a bigger presences in the fandom.

No matter what tho we will translate the season mainly because allofskam uses my translation for the official remake site and in the past they tried using the one provided by a remake and got flagged by the remake for copyright as they own those translations. But maybe I can do like a delay drop so the official channel gets all the initial viewerships. so maybe drop all the translate clips once a week like an episode. Let me touch base with the translation team and see what we can work out. Als congrats on getting a remake. I am so happy for you!!

[maukiki1-but-cringefail]

ok so i know i JUST posted about a yuriy amv i made but i made another one (wanted to make use of the clips i already had for the last one) and kind of did a remake (?) of this like 17 yr old promises amv and i spent like 4 times more time on it than a normal amv 🙏🙏🙏this ones 10 times better than the last one TRUST🤞 if ur not convinced heres a clip🐺 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💔

1, 7, and 11 for Let’s All Go to the Movies!.

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

I’m pretty sure the idea of how I wanted to write this story came to me when I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, specifically during the trailers. When the trailer for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid I just remembered being in such “Ugh, I am so sick of these lazy remakes Disney has been churning out, this’ll probably suck” but in the middle of that thought I remember hearing excited gasps from various children throughout the theater who were all just so genuinely excited for that movie. All of a sudden I began to think about just how cynical I am now compared to when I was around that age. I guess I just really wanted to capture that feeling of being in a movie theater when you’re adult vs. when you were a child

And for the record, I have seen the live action remake of The Little Mermaid and I liked it! Ariel and Eric’s relationship was the best part imo, Halle Bailey is wonderful as Ariel, I enjoyed the songs they added, Mellisa McCarthy and Awkwafina do a great job at their parts, but the underwater scenes can be awkward at times, Flounder’s role seems lesser than the animated one, the new Sebastian just didn’t do it for me, and the King Triton and Ariel relationship just isn’t even close to being as good as the original.

7: Where did the title come from?

The title comes from a Ben Schwartz quote, actually! My first exposure to Ben Schwartz was back in the day when he’d appear in CollegeHumor videos, more specifically the Jake & Amir ones. In the Jake & Amir episode Movie Date Part 1, Ben Schwartz appears as a movie theater usher Jake and Amir never met before with the ordinary name, Sulu Candles. In his entrance he sings a song which is a parody of the old movie theater song Let’s All Go to the Lobby. The song starts at 30 seconds into the video, be warned there are plenty of adult jokes in the rest of the vids

11: What do you like best about this fic?

I had a lot of fun putting in nods/references/cameos from Disney, taking shots at Disney, parodying superhero movies, making up the Black Cauldron trailer, and putting all the continuity nods from the DuckTales show, but I guess at the end of the day I’d say the Dewey and Gandra stuff is what I’m most proud of

It’s a dynamic that I wish we would’ve seen more of in the show and I think I do a decent job capturing it. I just like how this whole dynamic started in my head with “This is how he’d get on her nerves” and then eventually I found something that I think is rather sweet. I don’t know, I just love when had Gandra call Dewey “bud” near the end

The other characters are great in the story too. Love Webby, Fenton, and Gosalyn. And I wanted to give those three plenty to do and memorable moments as well

[nancysacc]

Old cosplay (Lilya cosplay yuhhh!! Might redo it tho but maybe not I feel like annoying whenever I remake a cosplay lolll anyways god I love Lilya sm idk why but like I just wanna give her a biggg very big hug idc if she don’t like it I just feel so bad for her I just wanna hug her<\3) (fun fact I did find a rat in my slippers that I was wearing during this vid😭)

I just noticed I literally cosplayed sm pafl characters might post the Yana cosplay I did like 2 years ago that was my first pafl cosplay lol but idk

Sorry for the bad cosplays I literally suck at cosplay 👍🏻‼️‼️

The year in review.

I guess one could say that LOL

2022 has been up and down in many ways, stagnation in other ways. It's honestly an ongoing thing to see if I can get the downs up and the stagnation to move.

Downs: I don't feel I'm creating much anymore, but it's mainly because I have too many hobbies for me to feel I ceate enough in any of them. There's a Danish saying: Mange bække små, which means 'many small streams (make a river when put together).

Solution: Kick my butt repeatedly and realise that I do in fact create, but its across so many types of media and platforms, that each feels like a small island - or aptly: a small single stream, disconnected from the whole..

Solution to not feeling like I create enough, I think, I want to try something new in 2023. I am not talking about views, clicks, kudos, comments or such. I have been in fandom for too many years to truly care? If that makes sense. It used to be about the comments, the interaction, then it became statistics and kudos. Which I feel a lot of fanfic writers are far too focused on. Hey, I could make a vid on that, that would cover another of my myriad of hobbies LOL.

So the new thing? If I can follow through on it, I'd like to try to string some of it together.

a. Tumblr: it's fun and games but can be used to link to other platform content.

b. Twitter: Ahahahahaha the dumpster fire is on fire. I use it occasionally, but that's about it.

c. Twitch: The one that has come closest to give me the kind of interaction I used to enjoy on platforms such as LJ and YahooGroups (yes, I'm that old, suck it up). I am part of a small community on Twitch (one of serveral, but this one is closer to my heart). I fire up a stream appx 3 times a week, none of it is major, new games (or if it is, it is rare and has some connection to our interests). I do not stream to get big, I do not stream to get followers or make money. I stream because the absolute gremlin energy in chat sometimes is amazing and fun. And when I say that, one might worry that it can't be controlled. I have mods, we mod for each others' streams. The mods are by far the biggest gremlins and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So stringing it all together? Well, I think I'll try to get better at putting schedules up on Twitter and Tumblr, and to share silly little shorts/clips. Because we do have fun and honestly, as long as you play nice and are open to the silliness we get up to, who cares?

And to top it all off, I am still in two minds about whether or not I want to cut my VODS from twitch before putting them on Youtube. So far, my Breath of the Wild ones are uncut and they are just there for anyone who might want to use something like 3-5 hours being entertained by my chat being a bunch of trolls and me blowing shit up/sniping enemies with bow and arrow or just puttering about, cussing at the enemies and looking for Korok seeds (or bridge trolls as some of the Koroks have been renamed by chat). We have a quote bot that gets all sorts of stupid stuff added regularly and most of it none of us can remember the context of, but it doesn't make it any less funny.

So you may ask, what do I stream? I stream mainly what I also write in: The Legend of Zelda - most of the time, Breath of the Wild. I run that as Saturday morning chill stream, meandering my way towards 100% the game, but marked as a slowrun because I have to pace myself - Tears of the Kingdom isn't out until May 12th. And even then, I'll not stream that one right off the bat. I want that one to myself, on the couch with my feet up and no other interaction than with the game.

Then there is the mayhem that is Sunday streams. Those are classic/older Zelda titles. It's lovingly also dubbed the scream stream, because I did Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask and both stressed me out like crazy. Currently I am doing A Link Between worlds. (If we go back through the year, I also managed Wind Waker HD, Remake Link's Awakening).

Thursdays fluctuate, but for the time being they are labelled Throwback Thursday - I started out with Grim Fandango, then did Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic and this coming Thursday, I'll be starting the Monkey Island series. It means odd graphics, weird games but ones that have a certain amount of nostalgia for me, for the community and for anyone who might wander by the channel.

And I can honestly say I am enjoying the hell out it. I have found people who became regulars who became friends and are now either streaming themselves or planning to do so. It costs nothing to leave a follow (save perhaps your sanity) and it's entertainment to some of us LOL.

Writing: Yeah. That. I felt I was slowing down, but honestly, I just write longer stories rather than shorter ones and while I do have the occasional writer's block, I still get ideas, I still enjoy writing. I'd just like more than 24H in a day cycle. That's all LOL.

2022 had me only posting 1 story, but one of 67K but I have the drafts for 2 in my GDocs and one needs a heavy revision while the other one I only just handed over to my beta reader. The one that needs the heavy revisions is also 60K+ words while the one I just handed over yesterday is around 20K. So I am writing, just not as much as I used to. That being said, if you guys could see my Trello… XD. I use trello to keep track of ideas or the ideas would either disappear or crush me under their weight. So 2023, my dear new year, I'd like to get some of them marked done ;)

So to all of you out there, hope you have had a lovely new year and I'll hopefully be crossing paths with you in strange places through 2023 ;)

For those interested, the following links are where I lose myself in the fun ;)

And I'll leave you with some shenanigans from the last stream I did before heading off on my holiday.

oc rant (under the cut)

lolol I remember being 10 and finding out what DID is. I didn't exactly like know in depth at the time but I saw it and I was like, "LIAM COULD HAVE THIS!!" (Liam is a rlly old gay clown oc) and then I also had it so he had constant hallucinations and everything (because we have hallucinations) and he would have panic attacks. But since we didn't know what DID was, it was a very bad portrayal of it lmao, but once we like looked into it and I found out that it meant something a lot different than what I thought I was like "ohh.." and then it wasn't rlly mentioned with him much after that, bc we were scared of spreading misinfo.! But I have some old sketchbooks and there's stories of them like, idk. One was where they were basically kidnapped??? (like those old gacha vids, just teleport them) by these two named Caramel and Kuso (which I found out meant shit in another language and I found it hilarious) and they were just like, there, and they started playing unoo, but then they called some family in to deliver food, (one of them was legit named Freak and spoke HEART MONITOR..) then they hsd introductions, lesbians were flirting w eachother, gave Kuso like the smallest waist known to man, thern hen I ws gonna release them they wanted to stay?? nd started talking Abt relationships, playing more uno, and then when Amelia and Clint (siblings) were arguing it triggered a lot ig??? Like here's legit what it says:

Amelia: UGH I HATE YOU!!

Clint: I HATE YOU MORE!!

Kuso: SHUUT UPPPPPPP!

Cy: *Starts panicking*

Jinx: *Same as Cy*

Gemini: *Freezes in place*

Liam: Shit, Shit, Shit, where is Cy, Jinx, & Gem's meds!?

Kuso: What?

Liam: Shut up voices now is NOT the time!

Caramel: Liam, DID. Jinx, PTSD. Cy, Anxiety. Gemini, PTSD.

Clint: U-Uh Sorry..

Amelia: Yeah sorry guys.

Kuso: Welp. I don't think they can process wtf you just said.

Caramel: Yeh..probs.

LIKE HELP I JUST PUT "After that" AFTERWARDS. Also mind you, CY was like a self-insert for us at the time (she was a red cyclops with three tongues, who liked to eat people and metal. Her saliva was acid and it helped her break down all the material before eating it. idk how 10 yr old me made that thought out shit)

So like, it was just horrible. Like, I deadass put on the NEXT PAGe

"Liam: *insert symptom of DID, idk I'm lazy*

Cy: Yeah..that's normal. *Walks over to him and heals him, causing him to fall asleep.*"

LIKE HELLO?? 😭

i got all my "symptoms" for it off google at the time, just syk. Craziest shit.

Gonna remake these characters, they're gonna b part of the shit I'm typing up, and Liam will not have did 😭

[crimsonxe]

So I did a YT search on FF7R today cause of hearing about the whole potential shift to Unreal Engine 5 thing and got a rant with spoilers for Rebirth that is referenced by certain people below the cut:

The "Aerith must die" death-cult shitlords just legit can't help their damn selves. Just saw a vid of someone not just pushing against the idea of Aerith living via multiverse or even in some ascended state; nah that's undoubtedly not far enough. No, they're pushing for her to be wiped out of existence canonically within the universe. Truly these disgusting bastards just will never stop showing just how little they fucking understand the message of FF7, while also just how much of inhuman edgelord shitbags they are. Worst thing is this shitbag trying to paint it as a shipping thing vs. y'know a story thing. I've already mentioned repeatedly how annoying it is that even in the hopefully/likely formed branches during Rebirth's ending that one of them was supposed to be OG one to check off that box; while in another Cloud succeeding in deflecting the attack on Aerith; because her death already was focused on in OG and everything about the R series was running against it including that Aerith's living or dying has little to NO impact on the story going forward. Her Holy didn't stop Meteor, the Lifestream had to rise up to do that; even that didn't truly stop Sephiroth or Jenova as shown in Advent Children with Geo-stigma. So having her live has no issue in general but especially within a multiverse. That isn't tied into shipping (which even on that front this douche fully means Cloud x each cause he wouldn't even have a thought of Aerti), but in seeing the elements within the universe and not being a death obsessed edgelord/shitlord craving the death of a character cause your sadsack pathetic disgusting ass view of the world is that cynical/nihilistic/jaded. Though this particular douchebag is also clueless in realizing how ofc his audience that watches him, thus would be aligned to him is going to vote in accordance with him in his poll. Its not at all reflective of what the general audience wants as has been shown via an actual poll done that showed a majority of people wanting an option of Aerith living.

But it did re-ignite the fire that'd admittedly cooled, cause there's a long wait to part 3 and it can't run full-blaze the whole time till then, pushing/shouting/yelling for the writers and crew of FF7R project to tell those people to fuck off and to deliver the true message of FF7 that is NOT death obsessed. One that shows that shows that slots in a "fuck fate" and that lives should be fought for, rather than just acceptance of death that is unavoidable. Also that actually utilizes the multiverse, rather than recycling old ass story that's already been told. Hell I've easily stuck to what I've said before in how I will NEVER watch Rebirth's ending again, unless part 3 does have Aerith survive in a branch or ascended to a new level of existence; while Remake's ending I've seen many MANY times.

Squeeenix vent post thingy

Ok this is just a ah let me complain sorta post about how bad Square Enix is. I'm sure this will just piss of all the Square Enix fanboys lol

Now I will say every game dev has problems. Some more than others (I'm looking at you Atlus) but seriously Square Enix has soooooo many and it feels that alot of people, news outlets included, bend over backwards and do back flips to defend the studio.

They don't need your money and honestly they are the AAA game you're complaining about.

This list may change as I gather more info or hear more bs

Enix has stated several times that NFT gaming is the future, like you have to purchase your game as an NFT?? Like in an era where cloud services are trying to not let you own the game (DRM free discussion is a whole other thing) Square Enix is literally going full into it.

GOD AWFUL PORTS. For every one good port they have there are like four god awful ones. Remember the FF mobile ports? They were literally the best ports until the more recent remake ones. Secret of Mana? Awful port. Oh can we get a remaster of Chrono Trigger? Nah. (aside but Nintendo spearheading the remaster of Mario RPG was a very wise decision because Nintendo has a much better track record with remasters)

Pandering to "fanboys" by adding and CHANGING Cloud and Sephiroth in EVERYTHING. I get it FF7 is a very magical game. It was one of the first jrpgs I ever played back on the original PC (a story for another time) but the changes they did to Cloud to make him more edgy and appealing is just gross. Now they are making a Sephiroth game which ok but... it really weakens him as the main villain idk. Also the lack of anything for their other games really sucks. Which leads to the next point...

An immediate reversal of an old studio decision that coincides with what I think is the steady decline of the FF series. (my source here is Final Fantasy Union on youtube - great vids btw) Originally the rule was that no game story should be reused in another product ie. no side games. The reasoning was to ensure each game was its own product and not riding on what the fans want. This was until that developer left after the development of FFX. Once he left they immediately made X-2 a side game. Literally pandering to the fans. Yes this led to a better Final Fantasy movie in Advent Children (as opposed to The Spirits Within) but I honestly think this is the turning point of the FF games going into decline. Yes while 14 is considered incredibly amazing and yes it is good, the rest I feel have departed further and further from the original 10 FF games. This goes on to my next point

(eh may not be a negative) The change in Final Fantasy going from turn based JRPG to action based JRPG to just trashing that style and going straight into the DMC studio's style of game - ie Final Fantasy 16. I am of the opinion that the action based JRPG is not great as it tries to be two different systems at once. Yes Xenoblade does a great job of this but it may just be one of the few outliers. This has not been a JRPG style that has led to a lot of great games - if anything it feels like a one or two series and done sorta mechanic. And to the FF team's credit they immediately jumped away from it for FF16. What I don't like is that it kinda removes FF from its identity. Though this may be seen as a positive instead of a negative

Cloud Save PC ports. I am so sorry Kingdom Hearts 3 you don't deserve it. Speaking of Kingdom Hearts

Purposefully confusing story so that you buy more low effort media related to said story. Kingdom Hearts, FF 15, FF13, etc. etc. All of these games have purposefully confusing lore so that you want to buy more media to get more info. And usually this media is in the form of quick games, web books, dlc, and so on. Whether or not this extra media means anything or is any good is questionable and are usually only purchased by the die hards.

RELEASING AN INCOMPLETE GAME. Ok seriously this is the meat and potatoes and it all revolves around Final Fantasy 7 Remake/Rebirth. Yes that game. Yes the game that we have waited DECADES for. And I being a fan of the original Final Fantasy 7, I who went through the streets of Midgar and saw Jenova for the first time - was utterly disappointed. A game with that much anticipation and yet it was split into a TRILOGY to milk it for all its worth. As of right now what we have in FF7 Remake is just the first half of DISC 1 OF 3 from the original game. And yet this is ok? Its ok to remaster a game and not release the whole thing?? And it hasn't been a short wait. It has been 4 YEARS FOR THE SECOND TRILOGY GAME. Based on this that means we will need to wait 8 YEARS TO GET A GAME THAT IS ESENTIALLY A SUPER REMAKE. And honestly it did not get all things right. My greatest disappointment in the game is the change in how Jenova was presented to us. It is a shocking scene in the original game and to be honest it influences me as a writer to this day - it is completely stripped from FF7 Remake. Now you could say oh but Remake is a complete game, and Rebirth is a full other game. Its long enough to be considered a full game. But just the fact that it is a known and anticipated remake but not the full game disappoints me - and the fans who are waiting for the full game to just come out at a discounted price (btw this is exactly what happened when Kingdom Hearts came out as a pack deal). Meanwhile the fans who want the game at release are paying at least $60 x3 to get this game. That's a $180 game split into three. I bet the instant the whole game is released it will be in a pack deal for $80 and get even lower due to Steam sales. Also hilarious that they had to remaster a remaster by adding an interlude (FF 7 Remake Intergrade)

Now not everything at Square Enix is bad. Actually they did make some decent decisions such as

Leaving Dragon Quest TF ALONE. Unlike Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest does not have the issue of too many pander-y side games. Infact they have a great legacy of side games that are just solid (DQ Monsters, etc.)

Decent support but also not enough advertisement of their other IPs - They have alot of IPs that just fade into obscurity despite being good (Octopath Traveler, SaGa, the latter Life is Strange games) However these IPs suffer from poor ports or poor optimization (mentioned above under ports)

[altocat]

I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna say is accurate but I'm just gonna say it anyway:

Sephiroth literally pulled a "Multiverse of Madness" move on the entire FF7 universe

(Consider that Zack came back at the end and Aerith seems more different)

It's a possible theory I know from a analysis FF7 Remake vid in my country. Apparently at the aftermath of Advent Children, Sephiroth somehow sent his current conscious back to his past version (Aerith did the same) and the timeline went wacky from there and then,to summarize it and put it easy to understand

I'm of this mindset as well. Sephiroth's wing doesn't appear until Advent Children and when he reveals it in Remake, the game sort of seems to make a big spooky deal out of it.

So I'm pretty sure it's the same Sephiroth from the old timeline. Or a variation of him. The one at the Edge of Creation seemed curiously a lot more mysterious and less malicious. It could very well be possible that Sephiroth might not be the Big Bad after all, possibly even sane again. But I'm not sure. I won't be upset if he's still up to something devious because that's just how he is. But it's still pretty interesting.

[biolizardboils]

head’s still full of Mother EarthBound Thoughts so im gonna spill some here. (warning this’ll be super messy and also contain big honkin’ spoilers for all three games)

for context i played and beat EarthBound after it came out on Wii U, then Mother 3 in 2015. i tried Mother 1/Beginnings at some point, but sadly my immunity to Old Game Jank doesn’t extend past the mid-90's. im a relatively young Mom Fan is what im trying to say here

i havent seen anyone here talk about the vid they put out for the Switch ports?? pls watch it its so cute and in-line with the games’ humor! lets all get to know Ness!!

im still watching Curiomatic’s Mother 3 vid daily and im still noticing new details and shit. and their website's so good too?? felt!Boney has my whole heart

my brain's been on fire imagining how the other two games would look in the same style. and like. it feels criminal to ask so soon after 1 and 2 got Switch ports, but a full 3-games-in-1 remake would be so good for the series for two big reasons:

1. it could fix 1/Beginnings' Jank and tighten its translation, bringing it in line with the other two, and

2. its the one situation i can think of that would force Nintendo to localize 3. like can you imagine if they remade the whole series and then left it in Japan?? people would have their heads!

not to mention a game with a modern 3D engine would be leagues easier to edit than the sprite-based original. cus while im scared of NoA over-censoring the game as much as the next guy, there are a few things in it that could’ve been done more sensitively, and that altering wouldn’t harm the plot if done right. i doubt i need to name specifics

also on the selfish side, i just wanna know what would change in terms of visual design. i wanna see all the enemies move in battle and Pippi with beady eyes like everyone else and how they’d officially differentiate Ninten’s design from Ness’s, and most of all i REALLY wanna see official art of Beginnings!Giygas. i wish to grasp his true form so bad it makes me look stupid

not that i dont like the fandom’s agreed-on designs!! far from it, i love them!! like Giygas having red-and-black eyes as foreshadowing is genius and whoever first came up with it deserves an award

i made a party playlist in case 3 ever got localized back when i was more hopeful about it. how far back, you may ask? i included this unironically. that far lmao

one of my fave things about the series is how, despite being made in Japan, it pays homage to so many distinctly Western pop-cultural concepts that it’s instantly nostalgic to the average English-speaker. the Spielbergian coming-of-age film, the dot-eyed yet contemplative comic strip, the kitschy B-movie monsters, the King-esque entities conveying the loss of innocence, the pairing of psychedelia with an insistence on peace over war. for a funny parody of America, it’s fascinating how right it feels at the emotional level.

speaking of psychedelia, i wanna plug this amazing prog rock cover album that deserves more love. like holy shit, youd think this is how some of these songs were always meant to be played. ive never had a drug trip cus im terrified of messing up set and setting, but to have my first while hearing this played live would probably feel beautiful

speaking of more psychedelia, last month i thought Polka Dot Tail by Ween sounded super familiar, and i just realized why: it sounds like Magicant (the second one). i might try to make a mashup later idk

ive been meaning to watch a vlog of Camp Fangamer’s EarthBound Bash 2015 for years and this week i finally did it! shit looked like so much fun, and i cant think of another game series that’d make for such an immersive event. i could only find one extended video of the Mother 3 bash they did a year later, but it seems like an equally transformative event, if not more despite Lucas being a mannequin

listen....i know people have done the math and ruled it out as a possibility....but i still really like the idea of Ninten and Ana being Ness’s parents. i just think its cute and neat and also opens up some opportunities for angst (something something the fear of your kids inheriting your personal battles)

bonus points for Lloyd being Dr. Andonuts cus i think itd be funny if he was the only character to appear in all three games

while im here confessing my fan sins, lemme add that i treat Smash Bros as canon cus it gave the world such gems as Ness’s eyes being purple and Boney having leg warmer fur

man i remember first seeing Porky in Subspace and thinking he was trapped in the spider-mech thing and i had to free him.... ah, the innocence of youth

removing Lucas from Sm4sh was a bitch move but the trailer when they put him back was honestly SO worth it. like him returning Ness’s favor from Subspace?? everyone noticing he smiled more and being so proud of him?? that was the best day of my life

speaking of bitch moves im still confused by how u get Claus, Hinawa and the Masked Man’s spirits in World of Light. like what the fuck did Nintendo mean by that shit. their placement and the fights themselves are such a specific gut-punch that its hilarious. killing two gods wont bring Claus back

but also its...nice to think that Lucas got a chance to see them again. like maybe one of the other fighters who knew his deal freed them and brought them to him, and everyone let them have a moment before they fought Galeem and Dharkon. imagine Claus being all “told ya we’d meet again someday :’) let’s go beat up that angel thing together!”

also cus Smash made me so used to it, i refer to all PSI moves as PK. even the ones that are PSI in both languages, like Magnet. PK Sue me

so like... im a twin. my sister and i love each other more than anything. we played 3 together, and quickly agreed that i was the Lucas to her Claus. what happens between them in the game is my absolute worst fear. ive had nightmares since childhood with the same basic theme -- losing her to a decision i can't sway her from -- so the final boss and the "hasty brother" line after gutted us. when youre literally linked from birth, it's hard to imagine life without, and even harder to prepare for the possibility. this game forced us to do so, and it hurt like hell, but it strengthened our bond in the process.

theres already a hundred essays about it but i love how 3′s ending manages to reflect every player’s wishes. everyone’s got their own idea of what Lucas wished for, so here’s mine:

the entire planet was purified and made habitable again

all the Chimeras were split into their original animals (but some of them chose to be friends still, so there’s at least one kangaroo and one shark that hang out often)

everyone that Porky abducted from other time periods were sent back with their memories intact (so Dr. Andonuts gets to be with Jeff again and is also less likely to be employed by another asshat)

im one of those people who thinks Lucas didn’t revive anyone who died, because it doesn’t feel right after the characters spent three years coping with it. (all the power to people who disagree tho, it’s all cool!) instead, i think he wished for a new place to honor everyone they lost, resulting in a beautiful new cemetery hidden in the sunflower field outside Tazmily. strangely, it contains lots of gravestones that no one recognizes; one with a haiku written on it, ten crosses lined up in two rows of five, even one the size of a bug; and at the very back, a swirling metal statue engraved in an alien language, lying between two stones marked “XX”.

and finally, i think Lucas wished to meet whatever force was looking after his world all this time, so he could thank them personally... and thats how you, the player, ended up in the game :)

im still utterly charmed by the image of the player, struck blind from being pulled into another world, being lead by the hand (and pokes in the back) to meet Lucas,,, like its okay sweetie you can say goodbye as many times as you need, im so goddamn proud of you!!! ill see you in Smash okay???

i think thats everything i wanna say? uhhh heres a fanmix i made six years ago

[its a Remake of some drawings i made in the past. The original Vid[a vid on tik tok] has More pictures but im too lazy now. While i drew this i amlost died of cringe because i looked at my old drawing🧍] i was lazy on the Wolf.

Why did i make my fav animal die again..well He killed it- but it was an "accident".

Hes Not used to kill someone. Exept in the genocide Route Killing frisk but because hes already kinda crazy [Not kinda really insane-] when frisk gets to him he forgets it or it just dosent matter for him anymore. He gets More insane/crazy as More frisk kills monsters. And in the end he isnt really himself anymore. But only in genocide Routes. Neutral ones just a little but still has control over his actions. 🌳
