Fast #lifehack - need to make a projector fast? I made and tested this puppy with great success. (Yes a dark area works best, or test it at night .)

1. Grab a shoe box or a sturdy cardboard box with a top or closing ability..

2. Grab a magnifying glass of some sort.. (got this one on amazon for 10 bucks)

3. Cut a hole in the box the size of the magnifying glasses diameter.. (I messed up the first one but got it on the second try)

4. Place the magnifying glass inside..

5. Grab your smartphone.. put on a video / piece of media.

6. Place it inside the box facing the magnifying glass, you will need to prop it up using some flexible wire or something small enough and heavy enough to hold it up. I found a rock 🪨 :)

7. Test it against a blank wall space.

And, life is forever changed!!

so unfortunately very few entries here are going to properly be vintage. also what i consider vintage might not line up with what you do. i am not old.

also i am not wealthy. and my family isn’t wealthy. this is an expensive hobby to have. i get most of my stuff from loving it and refusing to throw it away… and digging through the trash at university. you would be surprised with the stuff people throw away. planned obsolescence has nothing on the fact that people can’t be bothered to fix a sour harddrive.

i actually fix computers as a sort of second job. it’s nice to work on computers i can’t afford and that aren’t from the trash. but i love old tech. i love breathing life in to things long dead. i’m a technonecromancer. i am not including pictures of things i haven’t finished yet for the most part. and i simply am not including most things. this is but a fraction of my power

ok so these are all my computers that work. i didn’t include ones that im still working on. they all worked but needed repairs variously. mostly they just needed new hard drives.

my game consoles. again not including ones that don’t work. i actually bought that 3ds, but the rest my parents gave me after they got them used. that gameboy has needed a screen replacement that required soldering. the ds is my little trooper and has needed nothing ever. the wii needed a new disc drive. and the 3ds came in japanese and i hacked it to english.

there’s a back view of my stickers

these are some of my various devices. again not including ones that don’t work. that nano needed a new battery which was actual hell and i’m surprised it survived. that ipad is the first ipad and she works beautifully and one time i fastened it to my tummy for a tellytubby costume. i was slutty lala and i played the old spiderman movie trilogy in glorious VHS quality. i couldn’t find my iphone 3gs for this picture :( but it will turn up. i’ll include an old picture instead of cleaning my room to find it lol

here are some novelties i just like. thats an old radio i swiped from my great grandfather. i got it working but it broke again. i dont know whats wrong with it and its so old that the parts are impossible to find. on the right is the browser for DS which is just so quaint. i love it. it barely works at all but i loaded a wikipedia page one time so xP

this is my terrible stupid tiny phone i got from aliexpress that barely works BUT IT DOES WORK and is technically loaded with all modern smartphone features. i attached a video of it barely playing roblox

this is my og imac. with the og keyboard. i didn’t include it with the working computers because it doesn’t. the harddrive died and im trying to fix it but its really hard. i’ve already sought out two different adapters that haven’t worked

and this is a commodore 64 that i also got out of the trash. it does not work but im hoping to make it work. someone clearly loved it. enough to paint it crazy colors and enough to

write some weird scifi quote on the inside of the case under the RF shield. but maybe they died, or it just became too much of an undertaking.

not included here is:

• several more apple products that i just don’t think look good. all the iphones between 6 and 11 are just so ugly. and i don’t actually like the way apple watches look

• the phone, tablet, and smart watch i actively use

• various bits and bobs like the official speakers for a imac 4, an electronic pocket dictionary, various wii peripherals and so on

• all of my audio equipment

• my iphone 3gs. i just never found it or any pictures of it. i love it tho. it was my first phone (hand me down. i’m not that old) and i have had to repair it so many times and i love taking bad photos with it

• all of my monitors

• my many videogames

• my old fridge that i love and cherish and use

• anything i have fixed and then given to someone else

• a bunch of other stuff

so if you are a beautiful trans woman, are you in love with me yet? or do i need to make a part two

McMurdo Internet

Internet service is supplied to Antarctica via a geostationary satellite. This far south, the satellite is only a few degrees above the horizon, and unfortunately for McMurdo, it's behind Mt Erebus. So the signal is beamed to a receiver on Black Island, about 20 miles away to the southwest, and bounced over to the sheltered alcove at the end of the Hut Point Peninsula where McMurdo sits.

The Chalet, administrative hub, with Black Island in the distance

The Black Island telecommunications infrastructure was installed in the 1980s, long before the internet we know and love today. It was upgraded in 2010 to allow more data transfer, mainly realtime weather data to feed into global forecast models. For this reason, it's probably the only place I've ever been where upload speed is remarkably faster than download speed – 60Mbps for outbound traffic, but only 20Mbps for inbound. Most regular internet use is receiving, not sending, so that's an entire base running on a connection that's only marginally faster than the average American smartphone. As you can imagine, this is somewhat limiting.

The limits to one's internet access actually begin before one even reaches the Ice. At the orientation in Christchurch, one is directed to a URL from which one must download and install a security programme from the U.S. government. It may feel like a hippie commune full of nerds, but McMurdo is an installation of the American state, and as such its computer network is a target of whatever disgruntled conspiracy theorist decides to hack The Man on any given day. Computers that are allowed onto this network (such as the one on which I am typing right now) have to have an approved firewall and antivirus service installed, then this extra programme on top of them. I am not sure what it does. For all I know the CIA is spying on me even now. (Hi, guys!) But you need to install it to get on the McMurdo Internet, such as it is, so I did.

To be honest, I was rather looking forward to a month cut off entirely from the hyperconnected world, so I was a tiny bit disappointed that quite a lot of day-to-day communication is done by email, and I would need to be on my computer a fair bit to get it. Had I known just how important email would be, I'd have installed an email client that actually downloads one's messages instead of just fetching them; as it was, the cycle of loading an email and sending the reply, even in Gmail's "HTML for slow connections" mode, took about five minutes, not counting the time it took to write. Tending one's email was a serious time commitment; sometimes I felt like I was spending more time on the computer in Antarctica than I did at home.

Crary scientists waiting, and waiting, and waiting

In a way, though, I was lucky, because I was technically a scientist and therefore had access to the one building on base with WiFi, the Crary Lab. And don't think you can just waltz into Crary with your laptop and poach the WiFi – in order to access it at all, you have to get set up by Crary IT with your own personal WiFi login. If you do not have Crary access, your portal to the Internet is one of a handful of ethernet cables in each of the dorm common rooms, or some public terminals in the main building. You can hop on, download your emails, maybe check the news or Google something you needed to look up, and then leave it for someone else. When most online time sinks are either blocked or too heavy to load, it’s amazing how little internet time you actually turn out to need.

Things that we have come to take for granted in The World are not a part of McMurdo life. Social media is pretty much out – the main platforms are bandwidth hogs even before you try to load a video or an animated GIF. There is no sharing of YouTube links, and no Netflix and chill. Someone was once sent home mid-season for trying to download a movie. Video calls with family and friends? Forget it. People do occasionally do video calls from Antarctica, often to media outlets or schools, but these have to be booked in advance so as to have the requisite bandwidth reserved. Jumping on FaceTime does not happen – not least because handheld devices have to be in airplane mode at all times for security reasons. Your phone might be secure enough for your internet banking, but not for US government internet!

It is, unavoidably, still a digital environment, it just gets by largely without internet access. Nearly everyone has an external hard drive, mostly for media that they've brought down to fill their off hours. If you want to share files you just swap hard drives, or hand over a memory stick. When the Antarctic Heritage Trust wanted some book material from me, I dropped it onto an SD card and ran it over to Scott Base on foot – a droll juxtaposition of high- and low-tech, not to mention a good excuse for a hike over The Gap on a beautiful day. It took half an hour, but was still faster than emailing it.

There is also a McMurdo Intranet, which includes a server for file sharing. Emailing someone your photos will take ages, but popping them into a folder on the I: drive and sending them a note to say you've done so (or, better yet, phoning them, or poking your head into their office) is much more efficient. To conserve space, this informal server partition is wiped every week, so you have to be quick about it, but it's an effective workaround, and also a good way to get relatively heavy resources to a large number of people in one go.

The telecommunications centre on Black Island is mostly automated, but like anything – perhaps more than some things, given the conditions – it needs to be maintained. There is a small hut out there for an equally small team of electricians and IT engineers; Black Island duty attracts the sort of person who might have been a lighthouse keeper back in the day.

Towards the end of my time on the Ice there was a spell where they needed to shut off the connection overnight, to do some necessary work. Given that most people's workdays extended at least to the shutoff time at 5:30 p.m., this meant essentially no internet for a large portion of the population, and some amusing flyers were posted up to notify everyone of the impending hardship.

Someday, faster, more accessible internet will come to Antarctica.  It's more or less unavoidable, as communications technology improves, and everyone's work – especially the scientists' – depends more and more on having a broadband connection at all times.  It will make a lot of things more convenient, and will make the long separation from friends and family much easier.  But I'm pretty sure that many more people will mourn the upgrade than celebrate it.  One can, theoretically, curtail one's internet use whenever one likes, but even before the pandemic it was almost impossible to live this way with the demands of modern life: I know from personal experience that opting out of Facebook alone can have a real detrimental effect on relationships, even with people one sees in the flesh fairly regularly, simply because everyone assumes that is how everyone else communicates.  Being in a community where no one has access to assumed channels, and is more or less cut off from the rest of the world in a pocket universe of its own, levels the playing field and brings a certain unity.  The planned (and, unarguably, necessary) updating of the physical infrastructure of McMurdo will wipe out a lot of the improvised, make-do-and-mend character of the place; how much would free and easy access to the online world change it in a less tangible way?

I'm sure the genuine Antarctic old-timers would shake their heads at the phone and email connections we have now, and say that no, this has already ruined Antarctica.  It's not Antarctica unless your only link to the outside world is a dodgy radio.  It's not Antarctica unless you only get mail once a year when the relief ship arrives.  Doubtless the shiny new McMurdo will be seen as 'the good old days' by someone, someday, too.  Change may happen slower there than elsewhere, but just like the rust on the tins at Cape Evans, it comes eventually, regardless. 

For my own part, I'm glad I got to see 'old' McMurdo, such as it was, all plywood and cheap '90s prefab.  The update will be much more efficient, and tidy, but yet another generation removed from the raw experience of the old explorers.  My generation is probably the last to remember clearly what life was like before ubiquitous broadband; to some extent, Antarctica is a sort of time capsule of that world, just as the huts are a time capsule of Edwardian frontier life.  I hope they'll find a way to hang on to the positive aspects of that. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to waste an hour mindlessly refreshing Twitter ...

i wonder if yves has a picture of us as his lockscreen wallpaper... if yes (or no), what picture would it be :0 ?

As much as Yves would love to just... plaster your face on everything he owns, he simply can't and shouldn't.

Yves didn't rise up the ranks by being nice and kind. He rose up by pushing others down. Naturally, he made an army of enemies over the years that would jump at the chance of abusing his weaknesses. It would be much safer to not expose any of his information at all, which sadly includes who he associates with regularly.

His lock screen is just a black background. His gallery contains no trace of you or him. Not even pictures that have accidental reflections of either face. All the metadata from his photos would be expunged.

He does not have any social media applications or games on his phone- not even digital maps. He has his GPS turned off at all times. Yves memorizes his all contact numbers by heart and he never gets a number wrong. His phone is just a slab he used to call or text (sometimes hack into other devices), Yves would delete his call logs, and text messages including yours after documenting all of them in their respective dossiers. When he isn't expecting any communication, his phone is always switched off. Sometimes, he would even remove the battery.

Truly crucial matters will be alerted through the pager hidden in his reliable bag.

That is why you never see him entertaining himself with his smartphone, Yves usually brings a book or a magazine with him. He's living as if he's still in the 80's. If you gave his car a shakedown, you would find atlases and a compass.

But that is just his public phone. He has a few that never leave his office. They're full of you. Videos, pictures, voice recordings, and backups of your messages. One of them is a carbon copy of your current phone, with all the same data you're holding. The other one is an old phone that you sold or lost, one of his precious artifacts of you.

His 'home' phone has pictures of your happiest moments on its lock screen and home screen. It doesn't necessarily have to be photos he took after meeting you. It could be a picture of you graduating high school, it could be a candid picture of you on a vacation trip when you were 8, it could be a picture of your reaction the moment you received your first 'adult' paycheck, it could be a photo of you trying marijuana for the first time, it could even be your baby photos if you weren't that happy in life.

However, phones that store your information aren't usually used as a phone. It just becomes precious data banks. And any evidence that he's spying on you will never be revealed, hence you will never know of its existence.

There is an exception, though. One of his phones is used to analyze what catches your eye on social media. It mirrors your screen in real time, he would record how many seconds you would linger on a post, how many times you rewatched a video, when you would do a double take, your scrolling speed and what exactly would you consume. He would connect the dots and correlate your media consumption habits to the circumstance on that day; would you scroll slower on a cold or hot day? Do you seek out food content if you're hungry or actively avoid it? Why did you rewatch that thirst trap video?

You can go through his phone if you want, but that means he gets to go through yours in return. And you're at a huge disadvantage here because you willingly give up your privacy to him while he gave you nothing. It's not like you have to, he's never on his phone and he's a recluse. What is there to discover?

You know Yves is much older than you are, he used to fuel his past cars with leaded gasoline for god's sake.

So you already expected that at some point along the way, he would comment on this generation's excessive usage of their gadgets. But that oddly never came, because your habits are a treasure trove of information. He would only deride the act if it's actively harming your health.

If you want to put his face on your lock and home screen, go ahead. He would be flattered. Profile picture? Sure. Yves would do some digital magic to make sure the wrong people never see it. As a social media post? Go ahead. Only those whom he knows wouldn't be a threat to you can perceive it.

Of course, just as any paranoid man would do, he would educate you on the dangers of releasing your information to the world. Giving you real-life examples where it could lead to horrifying results. But he would be lying if he said his heart doesn't swell at your willingness to brag about him to your friends.

Obviously, he's also stealing a copy of your lipstick-print-ridden face and printing a physical poster of it to frame in his office. He would openly display it if he obtained it by asking you, but he would hide it if he got the photo by hacking into your phone.

5 video games your muse would enjoy

( he's definitely tried a few! he'd like any where you can pick up a weapon and swing it, but also those with abilities to master. a lot of them. he gets bored easily, and needs a lot to keep him entertained for longer.

warframe is one i can think of that he'd like! but it requires an internet connection, and he doesnt actually have that aside from on his heavily modified smartphone, which. cannot play warframe. but, with dozens of frames, each with their own abilities and some even with their own weapons, he'd probably have a lot of fun trying to become the best at any of them. all of them, even. (my personal favorite rn is dagath, but i think he'd like her a lot less bc she is kinda overpowered the way i use her? which is mostly for the survival/waves missions. wyrd scythes are not to be taken lightly! though he would appreciate her hole for a face).

i think he might like the fallout series, too, even though it lacks powers. open exploration, plenty of cool melee weapons to pick up and hack and slash with, and he can customize his character to have whatever perks he wants. he would always choose violence.

he likes horror, but only if he's watching, or is able to fight back. games like outlast, where you have to avoid getting caught and run and hide, aren't fun for him to play. he thinks it's cowardly, and doesn't like having to plan an escape route. dead space is a good option, because it does offer some abilities, and, while it's mostly a gun-centric game, you can stomp. you can stomp on the aliens and stomp on loot boxes.. satisfying (:

also, on the note of open world games - the outer worlds! also some fun melee options, and he gets to say "fuck you" to capitalism specifically. he prefers five-finger discounts to buying anything, anyway

the overlord series, could be hit or miss. on one hand, he'd like being able to have abilities and be an evil overlord, but on the other hand.. the overlord itself isn't exactly that great in fights, and you're supposed to strategically utilize your minions instead? and he might find that frustrating. the prototype games, however, would be great. destruction, various abilities, carnage.. hell, you can steal tanks, too.

bonus idea: whiplash. this was a game from my childhood on the original xbox that was never even made playable on the 360, let alone the one or the x/s. not entirely surprising, really, but it was fun, and also full of destruction. and you were a weasel that used an intelligent and indestructible rabbit as a weapon. it was ugly as hell and only playable on an original xbox or a ps2 (afaik, though my searches are only proving me right). god i loved it.

anyway. )

Espionage and pedo.

Many good articles on this guy and what he did including encrypting tens of thousands of pics and videos of horrific sexual abuse of children. Somewhere in all this he got so upset at the cia he sent a bunch of files to Wikileaks. This became the infamous Vault 7 files. This article doesn’t talk about it, but from the Newsmax article on him:

The so-called Vault 7 leak revealed how the CIA hacked Apple and Android smartphones in overseas spying operations, and efforts to turn internet-connected televisions into listening devices. Prior to his arrest, Schulte had helped create the hacking tools as a coder at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

In today’s digital world, our smartphones are more than just devices—they're personal storage units for our lives. From treasured photos and confidential videos to sensitive contacts, private notes, and login credentials, we rely on our phones to keep it all safe. But what happens when that privacy is compromised? Whether it’s by someone snooping through your phone or a hacker trying to gain access remotely, your personal information could be at serious risk.

If you’ve been wondering how to protect your personal information from hackers, one tool that stands out for everyday users is SafeCalc. It combines powerful privacy features with a smart disguise—appearing as a simple calculator app on your phone. Let’s take a closer look at how this clever little app can protect your digital life without drawing any attention.

Hidden Photo and Video Vault

Most people store photos and videos that are deeply personal. These could be family moments, travel memories, or even private clips not meant for public eyes. SafeCalc offers a hidden vault that locks away your media files securely. Only you can access them using a private code, and because the app is masked as a calculator, no one would ever suspect it contains sensitive content.

Whether you're worried about someone borrowing your phone or concerned about data theft, keeping personal media secure is a solid first step in defending against privacy invasion.

Keep Your Contacts Truly Private

Some contacts are best kept confidential—close friends, work-related connections, or other sensitive relationships. SafeCalc includes a hidden contacts feature that stores important phone numbers away from your default contact list. This means even if someone is casually browsing your phone, these contacts won’t show up.

In cases where you might be dealing with business competitors, concerned about digital tracking, or just value your privacy, separating your personal contacts from public ones is a smart approach.

Secure Notes and Private Thoughts

We often jot down thoughts, ideas, reminders, or personal plans in our phone’s notes app. Sometimes these notes include access information or deeply personal content like journals or affirmations. SafeCalc features a secure notes locker that helps you keep this information under digital lock and key.

Unlike standard notes apps, the locker is encrypted and discreet. No icons, no flashy design—just a calculator on the surface and a secure storage zone underneath.

Smarter Management of Login Details

One of the most common habits that puts people at risk of hacking is using the same login details across multiple sites or apps. Remembering all your different usernames and access codes can be overwhelming, which leads many to cut corners. SafeCalc offers a protected area where you can store your login information, safely encrypted and easy to retrieve when needed.

This is especially helpful for people managing several online accounts, including work platforms, streaming services, and banking apps. Instead of using insecure options like writing them down or reusing old combinations, you can store them safely using a tool like SafeCalc.

Private and Secure Web Browsing

Your browsing history can reveal a lot about you—what you're searching for, where you're going online, and what kind of content you're consuming. SafeCalc includes a private browser that allows you to explore the internet without leaving behind traces like history logs or cookies.

This is ideal for those who value anonymity online, are researching sensitive topics, or simply want a more secure way to browse. It’s a practical solution for staying safe from trackers and minimizing the risk of phishing or targeted hacking attempts.

Built-In Backup and Restore Features

Even if you’ve locked everything away securely, there’s still the possibility of losing your phone or experiencing a technical failure. That’s why SafeCalc includes backup and restore capabilities. All your hidden content—photos, notes, contacts, and login data—can be saved securely and recovered when needed.

This feature offers peace of mind, especially for users who depend on their device as their primary storage. Backing up personal content is one of the most effective ways to safeguard against both hackers and accidental loss.

Why Use SafeCalc for Personal Security?

Unlike typical vault apps that are clearly labeled and attract curiosity, SafeCalc blends in perfectly. It functions like a normal calculator, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants protection without drawing attention. The app is also designed with simplicity in mind—no complex settings or technical steps, just effective privacy in a user-friendly format.

It combines the power of multiple security apps into one: a photo and video vault, a hidden contact list, a secure notes locker, a login manager, and a private browser—all housed in an app that looks like a basic calculator.

For users looking for a discreet and effective way to safeguard their digital life, SafeCalc has become a trusted companion. Whether you’re worried about hackers, nosy friends, or just want more control over your personal data, it offers a comprehensive solution that fits right in your pocket.

𝗗𝗔𝗦𝗛 : 𝚄𝚂𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙲𝙰𝙽𝙾𝙽 𝙶𝙴𝙽𝙴𝚁𝙰𝚃𝙾𝚁, 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙺𝙽𝙾𝚆 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝚆𝙰𝙽𝚃 𝚃𝙾 -- generate ten headcanons for your muse and then either accept   ✔   or   reject   ✖   them !

✔ Pump sucks at saying tongue twisters. He still tries to say them, and gets frustrated when he cannot. They're like little tongue traps and he falls for them every single time.

✖ Pump wears Hello Kitty socks. Probably his older sister would, but chances are Pump would be the kind of kid to bastardize a Hello Kitty plushie by "making it spooky-looking" instead. Hello Kitty is girly stuff, ew.

✖ Pump stole a lollipop at the checkout when he was 5 and he still feels guilty about it. He stole the lollipop, yes. He did not feel bad, however. It was a successful heist, and nobody has ever found out! Actually, his mom likely noticed and just paid for it without letting him see it.

✔ Pump is not allowed to drink energy drinks. He should not?? First of all, he is likely too young for energy drinks. Second of all, nobody wants to release such a horror into the world. That'd be, like, a sugar rush on steroids.

✖ Pump hacks their stats in every video game he plays. If he knew how to do this, he would likely not need his sister's help to pass the difficult levels of the games he plays. Not like he would need to, again, because his sister is good at all videogames it seems.

✖ Pump is awful with technology and doesn't know how to use a smart phone. Of course he knows how to use a smartphone. How to call, how to text on it, how to send stuff... He just doesn't use his own much. Half the time he forgets it at home even. That is how little he cares about these things. He will still ask people if they got games in their phones, though. His parents probably raised him not to depend on phones as much, and only to use them when needed.

✔ Pump desperately needs a hug but doesn't know it and refuses to ask for one. He probably should have gotten one after Moloch's death, when his sister realized he was uncharacteristically upset, but the octopus plushie from his parents pretty much sufficed.

✖ Pump has an incredible spice tolerance. He does not even like the taste of most spicy things!! He will stick his tongue out if you show him anything spicy. He likely will do the same if he smells it even.

✔ Pump likes board games, but no one else wants to play with him. He cheats lol. And he is very good at it. Skid will still play board games with him, but a lot of the time they will end up throwing the game items at each other.

✔ It would not take much for Pump to turn evil. While I do not believe he would be straight out evil alignment-wise, he is definitely chaotic. He likely turned even more chaotic after the events of SM6 solely to spite that priest and his teachings. And I cannot blame him. He is also easily-influenceable and would likely do some bad guy's bidding.

Character Headcanon Generator

Generate ten headcanons for your muse and then either accept ✔ or reject ✖ them!

Dan Feng hacks their stats in every video game they play. ✖

Dan Feng dislikes the idea of hacking just to cheat the game and win. He can be petty/sore loserr but he won't resort to hacking to win the game.

Dan Feng can beat you up and will. ✖

Personally, because this implies DF having an aggressive temperament I will reject. This does not change the fact that: Yes, Dan Feng can beat you up. Will he beat you up? Only if it is necessary he must force his hand otherwise he prefers to choose non-violent but still very persuasive methods like the tea incident. This does not include playful smacks or flicking your forehead, or throwing water at you- No this is him being bratty or scolding you for being careless.

Dan Feng is awful with technology and doesn't know how to use a smart phone. ✖

While the old man jokes are funny, I will say yes Dan Feng is familiar with technology and is perfectly capable of using a jade abacuses (the xianzhou smartphones equivalent) to communicate. The Xianzhou is still a highly advanced sci-fi civilizations after all so it makes sense Dan Feng knows most, or at least the common/everyday use technology.

Dan Feng is a bottom. ✖

Dan Feng is switch depending on his partners preference.

Dan Feng has chronic nightmares.✔

Yes, absolutely. He has dreams of his past life, the High Elders, and his own nightmares as well. It's too much for his brain trying to decide which is which and it came as a series of nightmares for him.

Dan Feng is a dog person. ✖

He has no issues with dogs, but he honestly prefers cats or birds.

Dan Feng is a theatre kid. ✔

He is definitely a theatre kid. I can see the vibes for it especially when using it to get out of trouble as a kid.

Dan Feng has a pet dog. ✖

As he isn't a dog person, he does not own a dog.

Dan Feng gets road rage. ✖

In general, I feel like he wouldn't road rage. But hey no one is going to do anything stupid during a storm or a watersprout. Also he is not the one driving 90% of the time.

Dan Feng can drive. ✔

Yes he knows how to drive. He is used to others driving him to places though.

What do you think the characters’ opinions are on Nintendogs + Cats?

Finally. A great question that I didn't know I needed but I'm excited to think about. So, I think for starters, we have to be honest here. There is no way that Zen is going to play a video game with cats. So, we are going to put him out of the running. I think he might be okay with the original concept of Nintendogs, that is, if he was a gamer. After all, we all know that man only knows how to work a smartphone, everything else in his place is outdated.

Jaehee would like it if Jumin became invested in the video game from the get-go. She wouldn't have to babysit Elizabeth the 3rd all the time if she was a virtual pet, but I get the feeling that if Jumin were to pick up the game, she would be caring for the virtual cats and Elizabeth, which wouldn't help her enjoyment. If that wasn't a problem, I think she might enjoy the mindfulness?

Jumin would be interested from the standpoint of: "Would people enjoy a game where Elizabeth keeps them company? Is there some kind of market for virtual pets where they find one particular celebrity cat intriguing? I need to muse on this." I think you could get this man to fund Saeyoung's new game.

Yoosung would enjoy it. I mean, after all, he loves animals and wants to make a world where they're safe and comfortable. A lot of people would benefit from playing games like that before they think about adopting a pet. They're a lot of work, so that's the mental preparation for you! I think he would have a few dogs in his game, but... I feel like there's on in memorial of Sally.

Saeyoung would hack into these games and ensure that cats can do just as much if not more than the dogs. I never played this game as I noted the cats didn't get as much to do as the dogs, but I know that our boy Saeyoung Choi would make it so those cats basically get the run of the game to play, go on walks, and do competitions, too! Well, actually, at this point, he's making his own game, taking the core of Nintendogs to build his upgraded cat experience!

Jihyun might enjoy the mindfulness of games like these? But, to be honest, I don't see him as a huge pet guy. His cacti are his kids and the games he'd love to play are like, those unpacking games, sorting games, and puzzles. You could talk him into playing, though, if it's a favorite of yours! I don't see why not!

I think Saeran would be interested in playing because so many people around him love animals and he wants to understand why there's a charm about them. Elizabeth has always been sweet to him during the time he spent with her, so many he can learn more about animals this way! Dogs aren't like cats, so he could see what the fuss about them is all about since none of his friends have a dog!

Rika hasn't unpacked any of her feelings about Sally. I don't think she could handle a dog related video game. Maybe much further along in her healing journey, but not now.

Vanderwood: These virtual dogs are preferable to 707. I wonder if I could train them to take his place.

I used a headcanon generator on my OC's for fun and decided if they were canon or not.

NO ONE WILL EVEN KNOW WHO I"M TALKING ABOUT I"VE NEVER TALKED ABOUT THEM ON HERE. TRY TO HAVE FUN AND GUESS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE OR ACT LIKE FROM LIKE. TWO SENTENCES. OR NOT, PLEASE HAVE FUN (OPTIONAL).

Legend:

RED: Canon

BLUE: Canon-adjacent

BLACK: Not canon

ITALICS: Their name

[BRACKETS]: My thoughts

OC's will be separated by the story and universe they each take place in

Feel free to ask questions if you just want to or are confused! I would love, love LOVE to rant just a bit about my characters :D

Here's the generator i used: https://perchance.org/character-headcanon-generator-by-outergirlsound

Corry screams like an anime girl. [Hilarious. I love it and will be adding that to his Canon traits.]

Eroo knows how to play kazoo. [Canon-adjacent, I think he would be fascinated with the concept of a kazoo]

Ruby is queer. [She’s like one of the only straight characters i have, but if she were in a piece mainstream media, i could see some people headcanoning her as queer because of her personality or backstory (which i think is a little problematic but whatevs)]

Sorra uses two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. [Canon. He is a penny pincher so I think he would be delighted to find out that this is, in fact, a thing. Though he only showers like once a month soooo… maybe not.]

Asbelle is a middle child. [Sure, she gives me middle child vibes. Canon.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Axel is awful with technology and doesn't know how to use a smartphone. [Canon-adjacent, this is funny to think about but I don't think it would actually be something. Perhaps he uses notes for everything, like writing academic papers? That would be more canon to me. ]

Elliot shops exclusively at thrift stores. [Nah.]

Gan is tumblr famous. [Yes. This is so Canon.]

General Bow cringes at his middle school yearbook photos. [Canon-adjacent, he… likes to pretend he went to middle school? And he would be proud of them, like those middle-school movies that at the start it shows the mc’s picture and he says something along the lines of “This is me, a loser, right?” and at the end he says “So now you know how i was my hero of the school”]

Hans is afraid to close his eyes in the shower. [Nah.]

Lola has an incredible spice tolerance. [Sure, and likes to challenge her subordinates to spice challenges, Canon.]

Licht has a roblox account. [Canon. He trolls people and has a youtube channel of just these compilations.]

Emily steals other people's clothes. [Canon-adjacent, it’s just cute hair clips.]

Maria uses the word "dude" like a comma. [Canon-adjacent, but it’s different variations of it. “dude, bro, hermano, guy, cuate, guey”]

Peep voted sans in the tumblr sexyman poll. [Canon, out of boredom. They thought Reigen was pathetic.]

Lavanya can play the piano. [Sure, Canon.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daniel can't handle criticism. [This feels more Coolio to me.]

It would not take much for Coolio to turn evil. [This feels more Daniel to me, but i guess it tracks with his upbringing. But no.]

Tina hacks her stats in every video game they play. [Would be canon if she didn't have very bad sensory issues. So no.]

Paula role plays on discord. [Canon, super hardcore about it. No shipping or ooc moments from anyone in the server or they’re kicked. Just plain, canon interaction that could happen off-camera.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Earl was presented with an intergalactic portal, they would enter it without question. [Yes. Canon. This is literally what he does to start the story.]

Charlie is in your house. [I-um..?!]

Cardinal has an incredible short-term memory but an awful long-term memory. [He would be a very bad lawyer then.]

Dorothy would succumb to the fog. [I’m undecided on whether she is the fog, fights it or succumbs.]

Kael is a very good singer. [This is sad and cute to me. Canon.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Francis set a public school on fire and got away with it. [That tracks. Canon. ]

Sven can't spell restaurant. [You know what, yeah, Canon. His hallucinations-not-really-hallucinations distracted him in grade 1 English class]

If someone she knew committed a crime, Judith would cover for them. [That's just her whole story. Canon.]

Josey has a pet squirrel. [I guess it’s not far off for a hippie to mentally adopt a squirrel? Canon-adjacent.]

Colt wears Hello Kitty socks.[His bird-feet-claw-things would rip them. But he would put them on his horns. Canon-adjacent.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misty is going to heaven. [Is not a human soul and has (unintentionally) ate human souls. No.]

Celus can play the guitar. [Canon-adjacent, He can only make it sound good if the guitar is broken, since he found a broken guitar in his pond.]

Hubby has chronic nightmares. [NO!!! He has no thoughts or worries. Just 80’s funk.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Florence is not allowed to drink energy drinks. [Canon. Lucas is worried she’ll die. Which might happen, those things are not good for people, especially children. But he thinks it’s because they're neon, which is also valid. ]

Lucas stole a lollipop at the checkout when he was 5 and stills feel guilty about it. [He didn’t have a childhood, just spawned one day.]

Finn wakes up on November 1st and starts decorating for Christmas. [Canon-adjacent. She respects the month of November and does not put up decorations until midnight when it becomes December 1st.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

L.A.C.C.I has punched a hole in his wall. [Probably, considering his walls are made of cardboard. Canon.]

The Inventor can't make the voices go away. [Canon. He needs them to stop so he can be a literally and emotionally present father.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caroll knocks people over by hugging them. [Canon, It’s his signature assassination tactic. He didn’t get that title for nothing, y’know?]

Guy crashed a riding lawn mower into his fence. [Canon. He just wanted to see what it would do 🥺, no one believes it was him because he always looks like this: 😑, so his neighbors still don’t know who did it.]

Damian is the gay cousin. [Canon.]

Trucy always has a deck of yogioh cards on them. [Canon. Enjoy the life you have left, kiddo.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chiave will go feral. Watch out. [Canon. He is thiiiiis 🤏 close to snapping from being faced with the fact he has magic. (He hates magic)]

Vass will remind others in the midst of chaos how good they're being. [Canon. They deserve it, they’ve been so good amidst the chaos Chiave has started.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skell had an emo phase. [And he hates it with a burning passion lol (he had no hair to burn into bangs). Canon.]

Hugo can drive. [Is he even the legal age? I don't even know…]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pophitar watched the sonic movie. [Canon-adjacent, if movies existed, he would be the biggest Sonic stan ever.]

Leolithus is a great artist. [Canon. It’s fun to think of him drawing him and Poph’s adventures.]

Opal forgets to eat sometimes. [Ouch, Canon. Backstory stuff.]

Bime makes your mom jokes. [And she’ll say it in the softest, sweetest voice possible too. Canon.]

Drenn doesn't know how to say she’s sorry. [Canon. Finds it embarrassing to say. “The greatest mage in the world needs not to say sorry, because she’s never wrong!”]

More on Diokophobia:

Mike is constantly tinkering with anything he can get his hands on, be it a computer, a laptop, a smartphone, or random computer code, he will tinker.

Afton Industries made a video game about the tragic accident at the Fredbears restaurant, what they said about that was, “An incompetent security guard left children alone in a room he knew they were endangered in.”. In response to this Mike hacked the servers it was on and put a virus that said, “Lachlan can suck my dick.”, with a spray painted drawing of a blue rabbit next to it.

Mike once made Elizabeth go on a field trip with the rest of her class to the capital. Also I retconned Elizabeth’s age she is know 16 not 18.

Mike, Evan, and Elizabeth’s mom left them when Mike was 18, Evan was 3, and Elizabeth was 6. She also coincidentally left when William “died”.
