THISSSS!!!!! I'm so tired of people making jokes about pitbulls being evil and eating babies omg....

Hot take, I really don’t think we should assign human morals onto animals and call them bad or evil. Fishblr has internalised this idea really well with sharks, and I think that’s good! Sharks don’t deserve all the fearmongering they suffer from in media. But… can we please remember to extend this to other animals too? Even to intelligent animals like dolphins (most commonly bottlenose dolphins) and orcas. It seems to be a counter to pop culture’s tendency to show dolphins as complete angels when they partake in some messed up things, but like…. Dolphins are still animals? They may be able to recognize themselves in mirrors and they may have language and culture and know how to use tools but their intelligence is still on the level of a human child (and how empathetic are those!!??). I see people talk about how evil dolphin are but I never see people talking about other animals the same way, like, why aren’t sea otters and their “evilness” the topic of discussion? :/

Imps of Miitopia

Alternate coloring + trivia:

They're drawn in order by their number in the journal.

There are 2 imp Miis because there are 2 different costume models (like every job's gear) and also because I wanted to draw both the 3DS and Switch promo/default Miis.

I didn't draw a face on the blue imp (Imp "Cheery Granny"/"Traveler's Friend"/"Teammate"/"YOU") because since they're the only imp monsters who have an entire face, they vary so much throughout everyone's playthroughs depending on what Miis you have.

I also made the blue imp's collar similar to the Dark Lord's because this imp resembles the Dark Lord the most, and they only appear as bosses, so the Dark Lord must value them a lot... They're the ones he calls on for help, after all.

For the imp, naughty imp, and clever imp, whatever eyes/glasses they had when they first popped up in the journal, those were the ones I drew.

I've never played the Switch version of Miitopia so seeing the red fiend threw me for a loop.... look at him... waffle fiend....

Spoilers are for the imp Miis' outfits (because one is end-game and one is post-game) and both the terror fiend and the red fiend (mostly/only encountered post-game). Mostly for the red fiend.

Thank you for reading, I leave you with this terror fiend gif. (⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♪

Sometimes I hate talking to people on the internet because you can think you are being super nice and reasonable and they will act like you came at them all crazy like.

Like "yes hello thank you for working so hard on porting this mod forward. I just request that you post on the page what features are or aren't available in your version, because it can be frustrating to get really far into the game only to find out that features you thought would be there, aren't, but it's too late to do anything about it. TY"

And someone got mad??? Like if u wanna keep ppl like me from coming into your discord Maybe Make This Information Available Somewhere Other Than Your Discord!?!?!?!

I Did Not Want To Join A Discord Just For This!!!

woe characters inspired by some of my cats be upon ye. info on them in my tags lol

[gutsfics]

well now you have to tell me how it's like a community center ofc

idk if community center was quite the right term, but bc of how involved they r in the community, the theater has absolutely become a bit of a "third location" type thing in their town. yknow like not home not work but somewhere you can spend time? since its a theater it is for the most part film centric, but its not like the whole building is one big auditorium so there's space for other things

repeating this for the sake of keeping my thoughts in order, they have that partnership w their local library. library card holders can "check out" tickets to new films and when the library wants to have an event that's a bit too big for one of the event rooms, they can rent out the lobby of the theater, or one of the auditoriums if its a movie based events

there's a sort of second floor to the lobby that leads to access to like. special vip balcony seats (which are vip in the sense that the chairs are different and you have to pay a little extra) and up there there's a sort of cafe-like place that a lot of clubs meet in. & u dont have to pay anything for your club to meet there, you just have to let an employee know so that they can tell you if there's space available for your club that day

& there are plenty of Film Viewing And Discussion groups that meet there and its super easy to get your own set up. Thomas and Avalon actually host one themselves specifically, its for Queer Film Discussion :) (also they usually attend any other film discussions happening bc they just really love talking about movies w people)

also. have you just finished making a movie and you live in <insert whatever i decide to name the town here>? GOOD NEWS. Thomas and Avalon are Already setting up the debeut for your film and have invited the whole town. theyre super involved with the local filmmaking scene & love to support local filmmakers as best they can. theyre already hyping the fuck out of your movie. they love you <3

theres absolutely other stuff that theyd do, but im trying to to say anything that would be too wild and out there for a theater to do lol lmao

[moeblob]

They're soulmates in every single universe and I miss them at the most random times.

8, 9, 12, 13!!! World peace wooo yeahhh!

ALSO SILENCE MORTAL YOU ARE STILL THE ROM PERSON IDC LIKE SHE MATTERS TO ME THANKS TO YOU 🕸️🕷️

Ah, really though?? I am so flattered to hear this! There is just... so much lore about her that is told visually and via use of other gameplay elements rather than verbally, and THIS type of lore is easier for me to decipher! Well, Bloody Crow matters for me thanks to YOU, so we are even! xD

(Asks from this ( x ) meme)

8) common fandom opinion that everyone is right about and should say it

Hmmm, well! Opinion that Gehrman is, in fact, not a "misogynist creep" or whatever but rather a complicated, nuanced character with multilayered vibe of grieving, who is not necessarily a good person but made a Doll in such image somewhere on the range from 'Maria herself HAD a gentle, even feminine side that was ruined and he blames himself' to 'He trapped her image in that femininity as last ditch mental effort to pretend she is "safe"'. That's right - in recent couple of years, this opinion on Gehrman became common! I remember how it started in Summer 2021 with my post ( x ) shedding light on some mistranslated lines and missed possibilities, that changed opinion of a few or his haters and shaped opinion of some that never cared for him, but now? Now every popular blog has a nuanced take on Mister Doomer that goes viral in less than a week every time! Moreover, the MOST viral of these takes basically make a peace between "she is legit masculine" and "Gehrman is certainly not a misogynist" takes; basically no one is left unsatisfied and everything is compromised on. I am glad to announce that takes like this count as COMMON! We did it, fandom!

9) best part of canon

Damn, you guys really think there is such thing as "canon" in From's games? xD Okay, okay, I will be serious. My favourite part is how there is a complex affiliation with the Eldrich Truth! There are 'Stars', and the 'Paleblood Moon' boldly hinted to be behind it, and the latter also can be associated with Bloodmoon, that is itself is more the state of being 'nourished' and descending to "bless" the humans, but also Flora does seem to be in charge, and there is the 'Sea' from which Kos presumably came, but 'Sea' seems to lead to the 'Stars', and there are some weird and cursed Kin like Amygdala and maybe Wet Nurse. There are Kin that are each of these and Kin that are both, and Rom is all three affiliations- meanwhile some beasts show signs of Kin, and some Kin show signs of beasts! I dissected the complexity in my Kin headcanons post ( x ) to my best ability, but the variety of the material to work with is pretty much canon, even if the way to go about it is up for the lorediggers. But this is ENJOYABLE. I LOVED connecting these dots!

12) the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

I'll say Forgotten Madman! Honestly, find a character that lives up to their name more... He is implied to have been a member of the Choir - dude uses A Call Beyond, that is a secret weapon of the Choir! Also, the only NPC to use Empty Phantasm Shell. Also, the fact that obtaining Cosmic Watcher badge lets you buy poisonous knives, and he happens to be fought in the Hintertomb, a location notorious for being very venomous- Like, what if he came up with those knives? What if he sets his Ludwig's Holy Blade in arcane mist in attempt to recreate the conditions which made Ludwig have his revelation? After all, the 'Madmen' prospectors were ones who went insane trying to gain more Insight in the dungeons, and wrapped husks of phantasms around themselves like lucky charms. He also has very unusual face, and pink skin. Also, whereas all the remaining prospectors seem to be solitary, he has an escort! You know, unusually so, like... a noble man having a butler? Or he needed assistance for other reason? But there is an implication of a tie between Hemwick and Hintertomb (more on the topic in this ( x ) post), and Hemwick is an underling of Cainhurst, and Cainhurst IS nobles, and-

Okay, you see what I am saying. This wholeass character, and his escort by effect, are like a Lego set from which you can craft really interesting stuff! Most of Soulsborne characters will have little to no lore, just 'material to work with', so I don't really see why not craft something with him too! ...or at least include him in the Choir gang. Yeah I know everyone hates his hairstyle, but that IS why they agreed to not take hats off ever again, come on dsnfgsdfd xD

13) best blorboficiation

Hmmmm... Tricky question, because the concept itself has negative implication *thinking emoji* I think maybe Djura? Blorbofication I've seen used in a synonymous concept as idealisation or something. Like, striping character off the flaws, complexity and wrongdoings, and making it all about their good side (sometimes exagerrating it either). Djura must have taken part in burning of the Old Yharnam, seems to have hunted a lot and viciously from how worn his clothes are and how two of Powder Keg weapons straight up celebrate EXCEPTIONAL hatred for the beasts, and there is still some layer of hypocrisy to him (source: analyze all his interaction/questline with the player very hard) and dark implication about defending the beasts like he does... I can go on. But like... I am yet to see the "harm" (if you could call it that?) of blorbifying him to being the cool beasts' dad and liking his redemption arc to the point of forgetting what he redeemed himself FROM...? He is just such a good character that I've grown to like it when people are blinded by his good traits xd There are also some characters with whom 'blind love' opens the gate for controversy and even attacking other characters and/or fans, but 'blind love' towards Djura doesn't... really cause anything bad? There is nothing but wholesome stuff, like... no one gets hurt? besides the Paleblood Hunter lolololol

Thank you for the ask!

[saja-star]

ok I am not deaf and it is not my place to tell ppl how to write d/Deaf characters but I just need y'all to understand some logistics here.

you need at least a little light and line of sight to sign. you can't sign with someone whose back is to you. you can't sign in pitch blackness. I know y'all know this but just stop to think about the logic of it when you're setting the scene please I'm begging you

fingerspelling is really fucking hard actually. yes most classes will start you with fingerspelling first, but the ability to read full-speed fingerspelling takes years. the chances that you will meet someone who knows zero other signs but is totally fluent in fingerspelling are virtually nil. (unless you're writing a story set roughly 1880-1950 in the US, when the Rochester method was required by certain schools.) the chances of someone meeting a deaf person, deciding to learn the manual alphabet, and fingerspelling whole conversations the next day are zip. sign languages are languages. they take a long time to learn like any language, and fingerspelling is not a cheat code for that. if you need characters who don't sign to communicate, have them write or type in a notes app. (yes it's slow, but fingerspelling isn't fast either.)

[cainite-bite]

Here’s my gaming hot take;

im so saddened, and sick and tired of the fact that so many games are being flooded with chuds who want to turn everything competitive and don’t know how to fucking have fun

“I only play to climb ranks/win for a team/will scream insults if you aren’t in a clan” thats fine and dandy but you keep joining matches and staying in matches with like 9 other players who do not give a flying fuck and would rather not deal with your howler monkey ass screaming at the top of your lungs when you die once and decide to rage quit. Most people don’t care about your K-D or the fact you’re in some superficial and stupid clan full of other fragile egos. Learn to have fun instead of compensating for the fact you never bothered to practice anything else to become skilled in and can’t make your parents proud of you with literally anything (and thus screaming at others to take it out on them).

And I hate the fact that devs, sometimes much to their own detriment, are trying to cater to the merry little band of shrieking donkeys by gearing up all their shit for just that and trying to pretend the casual crowd isn’t there

i have a reblog of a post about Just This in my queue somewhere, so i won't repeat all those points here, but man it's a shame a lot of pact side characters are just not that explored/well drawn (since that andy & eva post just got released from my queue. there was that one intermission with andy's diary+correspondence, but still... i would've loved to see more of the intense violent siblings & what's up with them. i thought their dynamic kind of ruled). i feel it's the biggest reason for why worm in my mind is the stronger work.

i'll still say i had a better time (like just more fun) time reading pact. been having trouble pinpointing why. i think maybe taylor is a more tragic character to me than blake. also more exhausting to be in the head of. and pact is just genuinely funny at times, intentionally comedic written which helps even during tense scenes. there's one bit i wish i had taken a screencap of bc it was so funny to me at the time... some blake(mirror) shenanigans during a fight. i really loved how creative he had to get there, it's some of the best action in pact imo.

other things i liked in pact: it didn't have an entire arc that just kind of bored me. some parts near the end were it was mostly fights got a bit iffy, but it was nowhere near the whole slaughterhouse 9000 shit in worm... also the break in the story (? i guess? idk how else to put this or if these are comparable to anyone but me), the abyss, and the resulting changes were much more fun than the timeskip & taylor becoming weaver...
