I'm learning how to make gifs! So, please ignore how blurry and bad they are. I just love these two. I'm in my DBH era of hyperfixation again. I'm doing all of the flow chart choices possible. It's going to take forever- but it's so fun.
Expect more random gifs, and anyone who has any tips, I'm all ears! I know I need to remember to remove subtitles when I take the videos.

Listen man if you're taking the side of the cops beating on students maybe take a second and re-examine wtf could've made you this way.
#this is for the colossal idiot in the palestine tag talking abt how privileged columbia students are#like girl you think everyone who attends an ivy is rich?#also there's protests in small colleges too what is your rationale for that#imagine being so distanced from reality that this is your take#like people are dying but you gotta take down the east coast libs and help the police#palestine#columbia university#free gaza#free palestine

Been a fan of your fics for YEARS. I was just telling my friend how despite how much I read fics I never actually love them, with some of your fics (especially TMA) as the exception. Felt the need to reread some of them and saw you reblogged some ISAT fanart. So. Any thoughts on ISAT you'd like to share?
Hope you have a wonderful day!! So happy I found your fics again!!
I avoided answering this for a while because I was trying to think of a way to cohesively and coherently vocalize my thoughts on In Stars and Time. I have given up because I don't want to hold everybody here all day and I have accepted that my thoughts are just pterodactyl screeching.
I love it so much. I have so much to say on it. It drove me bonkers for like a week straight. I have AUs. It's absolute Megbait. They're just a little Snufkin and they're having the worst experience of anybody's life. Ludonarratives my fucking beloved.
I am going to talk about the prologue.
The prologue is such a fascinating experience. You crack open the game and immediately begin checking off all of the little genre boxes: mage, warrior, researcher, you're the rogue...some little kid who's there for some reason...alright, you know the score. You're in yet another indie Earthbound RPG, these are your generic characters, let's get the ball rolling.
Except then you realize that these characters are people. You feel instantly how you've entered the game at its last dungeon, at the end of the adventure. They have their own in-jokes, histories, backgrounds, adventures. They get along well and they're obviously close, but not in a twee or unrealistic way. They have so much chemistry and spirit and life. I fell in love with them so quickly.
But Sif doesn't. Sif kind of hates them, because they will not stop saying the same damn thing. They walk the same paths, do the same things, make the same jokes, expect Sif to say the same lines. They keep referencing a Sif we do not see, with jokes we never see him make and heroic personality he never shows - they reference a Sif who is dead - and Sif can't handle that, so he kills them too.
They become only an exercise in tedious frustration. Sif button mashes through their dialogue, Sif mindlessly clicks the same dialogue options, Sif skips through the tutorial, Sif blows through the puzzles. Sif turns their world into a video game. Sif is playing a generic RPG. Sif forgets their names. They are no longer people with in-jokes, histories, backgrounds, adventures. They're the mage, the warrior, the researcher, and...some random kid.
I did not understand the Kid's presence at first. I had no idea what they contributed to the game. They didn't do anything. As a party member in a video game, they're a bit useless. Why is the Kid there?
Because Sif's life isn't a video game. Because the kid isn't 'the kid'. They're Bonnie. Bonnie, who the party loves. Why is Bonnie there? Because they love them. There is no room for Bonnie in the boring RPG that Sif is playing. And then you realize that Sif is wrong, and that they've lost something extremely important, and that they'll never escape without it.
Watching the prologue before watching ISAT gave ISAT the most unique air of dread and horror, because you crack open ISAT and you see the person Sif used to be. You realize that Sif used to be a person. Sif used to be the person who made jokes, who gave real smiles, who interacted with the world as if they are a part of it. And you know you are sitting down to watch Sif lose everything that made them a person, to lose everything that made them a member of this world, and turn them into a character in a video game who doesn't understand the point of Bonnie at all.
At the climax of the game, when the others realize that something is deeply wrong and that Sif physically cannot tell them, they realize that there is nothing they can do. So Bonnie declares snacktime. And for the first time they have snacktime.
What is snacktime? Classic JRPGs don't have snacktime. There's literally no point to a snacktime - not in a video game, and not in Sif's terrible life. It's not fixing this, because nothing can fix this. But Bonnie gives Sif a cookie and Sif eats it.
It's meaningless. It's a cutscene. It didn't save Sif and it didn't change a thing. It will make no difference in the end.
But it did make the difference. It made all of the difference in the world. Bonnie is a character who you really don't understand the point of before you realize that Bonnie was the entire point.
ISAT is about comfort media. Why do we play the same video games over and over again? Why do we avoid watching the finale of our favorite shows? What is truly comforting: a story with no conflict, or a story where you always know what is about to happen? Do you want to live in a scary, uncontrollable world, or do you want to play Stardew Valley? Do you want a person or a character?
When I beat Earthbound for the first time (and if you don't know, the prologue/ISAT battle system is just Mother) and watched the ending cutscene where the characters part ways and say goodbye...I felt a little bit sad. I wanted them to be together forever. But that's something only characters could ever be.
#these aren't deep or unique thoughts they're just the specific aspect of ISAT that made it one of the most interesting gaming experiences#i actually like the prologue much more than ISAT for just this reason#its honestly a video game art piece that's created to give the player a very specific experience#that makes them an aspect of the narrative that is told#it's. incredible.#in stars and time#start again start again start again#start again: a prologue#isat#god and there is so so so so much more to say here#what a rich and complex and fascinating game that made me cry like a baby#i dont even kin sif. we arent similar at all.#i cant imagine how devastating this game would have been if i did#but I do have a deep relationship with escapsim#and i write about it a lot#and video games about being video games are wonderful#as are stories about being stories#and why we consume stories. how we use them. how they save us and hurt us.#never played a video game that used its medium so well#i bet undertales also pretty good at that but this is more so i think#stories about stories have to be about why we love stories#and im not an artsy person and i roll my eyes a bit when people talk about the spiritual neccesity of art#i think people need stories because the world is sad and hard and boring and we want to think about something else for a while.#some people need to be anywhere but here#and sometimes if you're Lil Depressed-Ass Snufkin that looks like being here forever#baby cringe-ass snufkin big hat idiot

I strongly agree that there are world events that deserve much more news coverage and resources than the Titan because frankly it should’ve been immediately assumed they were dead when sonar couldn’t find them and communication was lost.
However, I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to compare the EU coast guard and the US and Canada's various first response teams that responded to the Titan. Because they’re separate entities.
Do I think people should care more about the refugee ship that capsized due to alleged incompetence of the coast guard? Yes. I do. And I hope more survivors can be found because that was a genuine tragedy.
Do I think that it should be getting the same kind of attention as the Titan? Not really. Because people are just memeing on the Titan, and the average tumblr user has around $0.20 to their name and maybe 400 followers so this isn’t a very good platform for getting meaningful help for those affected by that situation.
This isn’t even a “you can care about two things at once” situation, because again with the Titan you should be very amused by 4/5 of those deaths whereas there’s nothing funny about what happened to that fishing ship. These are very different niches in cultural awareness and your ire should be towards media companies over random people on social media.
#Idk it just feels like getting mad at someone for posting spongebob memes instead of signal boosting that a genocide is occurring#like sure if someone genuinely thinks the Titan is more tragic just because it’s rich white people then yeah#please do clown away#but it’s just a bit weird to act like people don’t have compassion for the migrants who died just because they’re mocking rich folk for dyi#guy who intentionally removed any and all safety features getting crushed into paste instantly by his own hubris#is objectively funny and I will continue laughing at Stockton rush until I die#especially since he talked up how safe it was and then named it after the titanic only for it to share the same fate#perfect set up and punchline#genuine R.I.P. to the innocent guy on board but the others were absolute morons to do it to begin with#The contract you had to allegedly sign to go on the trip? Absurd#it wouldn’t have been a good view even if successful#and it was disrespectful to make a mass grave into a tourist attraction#so I’ll toast to the death of Stockton rush and his idiotic name forever

i don't understand why some people care so much about living as long as possible. "follow this diet designed to help you live past 100" in this economy?
#like literally after idk 80 or so wyd. my body already hurts at age 26 i imagine it gets significantly worse why would you want to prolong?#unfortunately my mother's side of the family is pretty long lived.... however my father did die early. maybe it will balance out#depends when the family aneurysm hits me ig#also like my whole childhood my mother was obsessed with Eating Healthy and longevity etc girl youre supposed to believe jesus is coming#in the next few years so why do you care about achieving old age 🤨 almost like that's an insane thing to believe#but growing up like that made me kind of blase about it i guess. and i kind of feel like most of the possibilities for living in old age are#.....not optimistic......particularly when youre not rich#and those possibilities do not seem to be improving#idk what my mother is going to do when she gets older shes made afaik zero plans for this on account of being certain that Jesus is Coming#any day now.#i'm certainly not going to be responsible for her or her shit idiot boyfriend so her best shot is my brother who has a better relationship#with her (not saying much) and obviously is more financially stable etc but like he has kids and a life lmao so idk#perhaps one day she will consider that the lord is not descending from the clouds in her lifetime but i'm not counting on it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#i understand my brother tried to talk to her about it once and she refused to discuss it lmao like ok deny your mortality at your leisure#death will wait. :)#me

youtubers setting up a streaming service where you have to pay 6$ monthly to access JUST THEIR VIDEOS and nothing else is so hilariously out of touch
#people are no longer willing to pay that much for a streaming service with thousands of shows and movies#and theyre like hey :) wanna pay this much to watch us uhh sit and talk? :)#the fans who try to defend that by being like theyre struggling financially :( are rly funny too#only rich idiots would think this would be a good idea bc you have to have enough money to be so out of touch#anyways. very funny

I truly apologise but I've never found a character more irritating than Ruby Rocks. It is severely impacting my ability to watch a crown of candy because this bratty literally-the-embodiment-of-the-status-quo bitter bastard child won't stop sulking and being shitty to the only good surviving member of this royal bloodline (Saccharina).
The immediate Rocks family in general is so unsympathetic, I'm sorry but if you want me to feel bad over your personal growth journey you can't ALSO be a monarch who has absolute power over an entire nation-state. If you had literally the best education of everyone in your country and you're still an idiot I don't know what to tell you except that you're a resource hoarding pig who has not earned an iota of the power or luxury you have. They have SERVANTS and all they do is complain about going to class or doing their job. Hey if it sucks so bad demolish the state and redistribute your wealth <3 you won't <3
#shes just wrong and a brat. ive found it difficult to sympathise with the monarch characters the whole time but shes the worst of the 3#i was her age 3 months ago and I've NEVER been as stupid and ignorant and selfish as she is#youre gonna send thousands of your people to die at war over your own petty vendetta??? you grow up in immense privilege and all you do is#complain about the tiny bit of responsibility it comes with but the second someone else (who has worked infinitely harder and suffered#infinitely more) comes along and is willing to take that responsibility you hate her and talk shit and try and turn people against her#because she'll “uphold the status quo” WHERE did you get that from. she has more respect for the people and awareness about the monarchy#than you EVER have. youre a fuckin idiot rich kid. this is game of thrones-themed 1400s monarchy. some 30% of kids die in their first year#barely any of them can read. 90% of your people have experienced the death of their parents or siblings firsthand#but rather than ending the war you're gonna send MORE of them to die fighting the empire over your personal vendetta#saccharina has NEVER been pro church??? she is quite literally only taking the throne to CHANGE the status quo#meanwhile your ass would probably keel over and die after 2 seconds without the luxury that status quo has afforded you your entire life#you dont want to change SHIT. youre just mad it isnt you or your OTHER sister on the throne anymore. your dad is the fuckin EMPEROR#you ARE the status quo. “changing the status quo” means people come and take your house from you brat ass loser. it means they kill your#father. you dont want that youre just making excuses because youre a stupid brat who got oneshotted your first time leaving the castle#because despite 18 years of the best possible education you dont understand simple concepts like “people want to kill royalty”#jet died because she was immature and by god if ruby isnt carrying on her legacy

I'm still working on making DBH gifs! I think this set came out much better than my first set did. It's much clearer, that's for sure. I'm also still working on getting the flowchart 100% and getting the Platinum. So, if you have any requests for a character/scene/mission, let me know, and I'd be happy to do it!

in all the excitement about the submersible, I haven't seen any talk about the Musk vs Zuckerberg fistfight drama
#billionaire#rich idiots#elon musk#mark zuckerberg#fight#my faveourite thing about that was that they asked the spokesperson of meta to talk about it#and they were just like#no.

The only things Elon Musk has that I don't are rich parents, no shame, and a gaping void where his ethics and moral compass should be.
#i too can give money to smart people why have good and interesting ideas#if I actually had money#i also would have the good sense to let them call the shots because they're the ones that know what I'm talking about and I'm a rich idiot#(but I would still be smarter than him)

Had a guy in 6th grade tell me that his Gucci hoodie was worth more than me. And looking back he must have been really bad at math to think that a Gucci hoodie is more expensive than a 12yo, short, pale, blue eyed blonde girl. Like in what universe? I was more expensive in both euros and camels
#he was an idiot#like a rich brat#but he is ugly now so hahahaha#he was always ugly#people use him for his money#he doesn’t deserve better tbh#personal#zoey talks#he called social services to do a home check on a girl#reason? he threw a mashed up mandarin at her and she threw it right back

So, I was thinking of something while at work about Good Omens of course, because it's one of my biggest hyperfixations right now. But I was thinking:
What if Aziraphale and Crowley didn't have the wrong child, but instead, they were just a bit confused about why Adam's parents weren't more American, as well as rich.
I could imagine Adam having much more curiosity as he grew up, asking why Nanny Ashtoreth was always wearing sunglasses, even though it was day/night time. She, of course tells him to not worry about it, and just get some sleep.
Adam winds up gaining enough courage to just casually pull them off of Nanny's face one night, after she's gotten him settled down, and her eyes are just blown wide in momentary shock, before she regains her composure and takes them back from Adam, slipping them back on without a word, as he hasn't asked one of his many curious questions yet. The only thing he murmurs in his soft, sleep filled voice before falling asleep is: " Your eyes are pretty. "
He is only three when he does this, so the memory doesn't stick around in a concrete way, but it sticks with Nanny Ashtoreth, and occasionally makes her tear up, even demons like to hear nice things on occasion, and she has a soft spot for children.
If Hell were to have found out, there'd have been, well- Hell to pay.

Mmmmmk… then do something about it instead of complaining about it on the internet accomplishing nothing but making clickbait companies rich over it trending. I’m getting really tired of this Hamas/Palestine spam from pornbots. Stop getting rich off people’s suffering and donate every fucking penny of that to aid the refugees over there you scumbag fucks. The only thing worse than wars are the soulless money bags that brand #blueandyellow everywhere for a year then leave the Ukraine in the dust when they find a new cash cow to exploit. A place that has been in 7 wars since the Holocaust that will never cease to stop fighting over religious territory and revenue over a super natural being they can’t even prove exists that murders and rapes children with their cultish buildings all over the planet. How about you stop fighting over a God that doesn’t even exist. We’re all just scientific matter no one understands the origin of. But God sure as Hell wouldn’t let priests molest and bury 6,000 children alive along Canada’s border if he even existed so shut the fuck up and just start being decent human beings. Start with that. And fuck billionaires. You greedy motherfuckers suck up all the world’s economic systems and then wonder where all your consumers went when they die of financial constraint YOU created for the whole globe with your greed. We don’t need a pissing contest to a trillion dollars, we need affordable living and vacations with the money you’re ciphoning up by inflating cost of living higher than minimum wage increase so that it changes nothing but poor people’s financial leashes and not your continual profits. Ban increasing cost of living and that will solve like 80% of the world’s problems. The point of raising wages to create comfortable living for ordinary citizens. We don’t care if you can’t afford 15 exotic cars instead of 12 while the working class ends up on the street over one missed paycheck. Fuck off. 🖕🏽
"Murdering 14,000 children is not 'Self-Defense'"
Poster spotted in Boston, Massachusetts
#<mic drop>#buy a plane ticket to Hamas and go fight in the war as an ally or stop making Verizon and other cell phone companies rich.#you don’t even know what you’re talking about… buncha keyboard edgelords that stand for nothing#if you think sitting around on social media all day reblogging for notes likes retweets etc is gonna stop a genocide you’re braindead#go show your cellphone spam to a soldier in Hamas and get shot in the face we’ll turn it into a scene pn South Park and Stan Marsh will#just do a heavy sigh over how stupid you are#leave up to racist idiots to sit around being like oOoooOoOomgggg the genocidal number is getting bigger let’s physically do nothing about#it and profit off of the cell phone revenue while it turns into a sob story#anyone that didn’t thoroughly read this and is spamming hate mail fuck off and die with the TLDR nonsense#your useless cell phone apathy is exactly COVID got out of control for so long#spamming threads about COVID deaths doesn’t form a cure#whining about Hamas isn’t going to stop a war#fly there#get a gun#fight back and defend them#but you won’t because you don’t actually care#you’re all posers#oooOOOoooOoOoOOoo Stan Darsh got his feelings hurt on the internet no one gives a fuck#log off go outside and take actual action or stop spamming people’s threads#i’d LOVE to see you talk to someone like that in the street and get your ass kicked#we’re here for memes kittens landscapes and art not your edgelord tangents that get nothing done#i don’t even follow you and I’m from Boston so which ever algorithmic dweeb in Silicon Valley is putting this in my livefeed you’re fired#you piss off a masshole you get a nice little critique from Harvard#stop being soft and go fight in the war if you care so much about it#you sound like a paintballer COD player that’s like I’m gonna join the marines!!! and never does#i never said I don’t care about the war I said I don’t care about your obnoxious meaningless spam that doesn’t do anything#learn to read before you attack an article you braindead Neanderthal#if spamming doomscroll posts did anything we’d have moderna world peace and a cure for cancer in like 24 hours
