the only thing I hate more than worldbuilding is not worldbuilding

[spindlephysalia]

sometimes when I try to click "copy link" in the meatballs I miss and report a post and every time this happens I experience the Fifty Thousand Blade Remorse Barrage

Accidentally unfollowing one of your mutuals is the Tumblr equivalent of stepping on your pet

Gatchaman Crowds was such a bleeding-edge gender science laboratory I genuinely can't

Hate when I say "hey let's make a brand-new worldbuilding project with zero associations to my previous worldbuilding projects" and then two months later my original worldbuilding project has a suspicious stomach-bulge

Lancer Community!

Are there any third-party supplements for roguelike/megadungeon scaffolds around a lancer game?

Hi sorry my last pokemon game was platinum why is someone grinding pokemon into candy?

Everyone is saying that the professor is grinding the Pokémon into candy, but consider the following:

• The professor frantically running around with assistants, inspecting hundreds of thousands of pidgeys a day, getting bitten and screeched at while they try to figure out if this pidgey has been tagged yet so they release them back to track their migration

• Panicked interns trying to scoop the ekanses back into their tank because theyre freaking out the rattatas

• Three caterpies climbed into a vent and evolved into metapods that are too far in to reach so six underpaid college students are trying to dismantle ductwork

• Theres a big door marked “KEEP OUT” because a dozen oddish evolved into a squad of Vileplumes and until they stop releasing stun spores the entire room is just off limits

• Hundreds of researchers running on red bull and determination trying to tag and examine all the Pokemon but having to turn off the machine every once in a while to the discontent of trainers who are all getting a “Sorry, the servers are currently down” message at LEAST twice a day

• “GPS not found” flashes while returning a big group and suddenly Florida has been gifted 6,000 mankeys right in the middle of Epcot

• Someone in the back room up to their waist in stale dog treats with a bunch of little stamps. They sigh deeply at how gullible Pokemon trainers are that they think these things actually do anything other than excite the Pokemon so much they evolve

• Actual science professor surrounded by chaos and interns and a budget just too small

imagine being char at jaburo and you haven't seen the entire odessa arc of improvement amuro's had so you rock up with your swanky new gelgoog and he just tears you apart. I would also become obsessed tbh

I think the most interesting thing you can do with a hive swarm is tosstohem into an ecosystem they are horrifically ill-equipped to deal with. Not in a tactical way, in a way more core to the representation of these swarms as ecologically hyperactive xenoformers.

Like yea, you can gestate a fifteen-foot tall cyclopean bug with a combat laser recofigured out of its eyes but this is tundra where none of your sessile organisms can take root in the rock and the ecology available for you to consume is 90% mosses. The story about managing that ecology to the point where you can hit the "ravenous tide of flesh and chitin" is way cooler a story than just teh ravenous tide of flesh and chitin.

it's so weird trying to rewatch mystery ihncorporated and literally the first episode is "look at how dumb old scooby-doo is" and it's just an entire world drenched in scorn and contempt. Psychically gruelling to watch

[spindlephysalia]

I'm sorry this is arctic monkeys not the beatles

This is ruining me I can't breathe

[spindlephysalia]

quietly tired of media about how liberal institutions decay tbh. we all know how it ends - what happens after? let me see new ways of political organisation beyond what we're used to, and how they can bring light and joy to the world.

dude tries to have a genuine discussion with me about his gender identity and I call him a transvestigator. He smiles and says "yea, maybe I am". there are four years of discourse wars, but she is now happily living as butch benoit blanc. I give a wistful smile and return to the trenches.

nothing sucks more than "you're weird so it's on you to Become Normal(-passing)". Like...if someone just doesn't proc that I'm autistic and interacts with me as though I'm allistic fine, whatever, but being told "I know you're autistic and I am choosing to not explain myself properly, figure it out you freak" is just...what am I supposed to do?

[spindlephysalia]

what happens at 50

y’all remember being 15? That was fucked up

[spindlephysalia]

Mass Effect fascinates me as a kinda...civilisational isekai?

[spindlephysalia]

imagine the existential horror of being a lynn minmay hater on the macross
