I was buying freeze dried fruits earlier to bake with and the only place I could find them was in the baby aisle marketed as baby snacks and then the cashier was like 'you're buying baby snacks without baby! Where's baby?' and y'all when i realized that my nineteen year old ass looks old enough to realistically be a parent my life flashed before my eyes a little bit

Y'all I run fan blog for the OUTSIDERS, I eat kraft dinner at least twice a week, I can't even cosplay as a Responsible Adult atp in my life

[cactus-cactus-cactus]

I'm rereading aoas now and there is so much insane lore in like the first 3 chapters. Rowan's grandmother is dating a robot. Citra had an unsavory uncle who married his nimbus agent? fascinating

[misteria247]

Y'all ever been recognized somewhere else on the world wide web?

Cuz I have.

On YouTube of all places. On a Twisted Wonderland video I'd commented on three years ago. I'd gotten a notification awhile back and it was a response comment that went something like:

"Misteria247????? As in the Tmnt Tumblr blog Misteria247??????"

I was flattered as well as horrified cuz on one hand ohmigosh someone's seen my stuff, while on the other hand dear God someone's seen my stuff.

Some Batman: Telltale thoughts

[this is a Batman Telltale critical post, ye be warned.]

So. There are perhaps no words in the english language to describe with how stupid i feel right now.

I started Telltale Batman because i thought that it's one of the more distinct unconventional Batman narratives that would let you have a more interesting, complex and nuanced relationship between Bruce and Joker— the game even lets you bring all of Bruce's sincere hypocrisy and sentimental selfishness to the surface and have him admit that yes, he can fight the rogues gallery because it takes a madman to know a madman; to love a madman. For a moment i geniunely thought that i can escape the everpresent shadow of DC hays code in the freakshow funhouse that is Batman comics, i thought Telltale had done something different.

But telltale's approach to The Enemy Within is so flaky and flimsy and timid at best— such noncommittal twist on themes of pain and grief. They take on a hefty plotline, "what does it take to actually fight through evil and be surrounded by it? How long does it take before your resolve and your selfhood cracks? When you lose the mask, which one did you truly lose— The ideal persona, the superhero, the crusader, or the person underneath, the casket that holds all your humanity and your heart and your hopes? How long can you stare onto the abyss before it stares onto you?" It's indeed a very Nietzsche approach to Batman— except that a good Nietzsche narrative takes a lot of intentional plot points and honesty of thought and of heart. And Telltale doesn't commit, not to Bruce's characterization, and not to any other character, and definitely not to Joker's journey in any variation of it. The existence of the Vigilante route is useless on every front; Joker is going to turn into a villain anyway, just with a different hello kitty eyeshadow palette and an extra bland consolation lollipop. No good choice Bruce makes on Joker's behalf affects anything whatsoever, and i particularly love the "community and friendship and sympathy do not help the mentally ill and all that ever works is punishment and shock therapy and confinement and loneliness" message the vigillante route puts on the table, charming charming status quo commandments from DC as always.

Telltale Batman could only be revolutionary if it had dared to break comic convention and let the vigillante route play out like Selina and Bruce's relationship always does; very grey morality, irrational, full of tension and trust, unstable, intriguing, inexcusable, irreversible, unavoidable and heartfelt, human. But we can't have nice things in batmanverse, so both Joker routes run on stuck gears and topple and fall into a predictable narrative hole that neither Bruce nor Joker can claim out of.

And on the predictable front? this story is too lukewarm to be a good time for me personally. When you get 84 Batman comics per minute every other Tuesday, all ending the same way no matter whatever the fickity happens inbetween, you have to pull no punches. This is my 53368532th Batman-with-tragic-batjokes-implications read of the week, say something new or forever hold your blue-balling silence, i dont care.

Hey, remember that time II kissed Vessel's arm? Okay byyeeeee :D

Well HELLO GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO

(yes i did see this before i went to bed but i was wayyy too eepie to reply)

I hope you know this has just set the mood for my entire day so. I'm gonna be extra yearning and soft and whiny 👍 Sorry about that guys, I'm a pathetic wet cat of a person 😞

He could've hugged him. He could've high fived. He could've done that guy thing where they slap each other's butts and it's totally platonic and wholesome and hilarious.

AND YET. Mr. Daddy Twofoot (cmon guys, catch up on the name) KISSED??? HIS ARM??? On the sensitive soft part too?????

Like. Okay. Yeah yeah, the boyfriends, etc etc. But let me be actually serious for a second here.

(hello this turned out to be way longer and sappy than i intended so)

Do you see how effortless that was? He didn't hesitate for a second. How often do you see two guys (who I'm assuming are straight) be this affectionate with each other? A kiss on the inner arm is *such* a tender, intimate gesture, regardless of gender/sexuality - a type of action that is not usually expected between straight men.

And I don't know, I find it incredibly endearing and important to see that, as much as they do all that funny sexy stuff for the fans (and for themselves too - they seem to have so so much fun), these type of actions seem to be a part of their regular off-stage interactions. You can feel how genuinely good friends they all are.

And in the case of Vessel and ii, the founders of Sleep Token and the major force behind it all - how surreal and incredible it must be for them to get to experience all of this together. To see their hard work paying off. To stand proudly in front of literal thousands of people side by side with your best friend??? HELLO???

It's such a small thing, but I carries so much weight ya know? Like yeah dude, I love you and I'm proud of you, and you did a wonderful job. Isn't it SO touching???

I just LOVE to see it. Men who are vulnerable and affectionate around each other, who are comfortable in it, who shows us that yes, platonic friendships and pda are beautiful and important and in no way make you any less of a men. Which is something a LOT of dudebros in the metal scene would benefit in knowing.

I just. I don't know bro. Vessel x ii interactions mean the whole word to me. I was just talking with someone a few days ago of just how far Vessel has come in his music journey, and even within Sleep Token, the difference between One days and now is. Nothing short of astronomical. It feels almost miraculous, yet it is anything bUT, because we know how much effort V and ii put into making the music we so love. And of course iii, although not part of the creation process, has been with them from the beginning as well.

Can you imagine how overwhelmingly awesome and scary it must be for them?? And what are the odds of after a few years of changes, they somehow found the perfect person to complete them? SO MUCH SO, that you can see just how close iii and iv are BY THEIR MIRRORING ATTIRES?? HELLOOOOO ???? SOULMATES FR FR

Aaaa I feel like I'm going off on a huge tangent, and I am stopping now before I bring up the German Rituals and Wembley. December was a wild month omg I have not recovered yet.

I just!!! My heart!!! I love them. Vessel PLEASE I have been begging on my hands and knees, PLEASE PLEASE give your drummer a smooch omg he deserves it poor guy has the twinkliest prettiest eyes ever how can you NOT 🥺✨💙

Anyways. Yes, I do remember. Good gif 🙂👍

So, the 10th Anniversary week of FNaF is over. Looking back on this franchise and how special it is to me, remembering how I became a part of the community after the first two games came out and the third one was being teased. It's still crazy to me that 10 years ago, FNaF was a horror game that was created by one man and 10 years later, FNaF is one of the biggest horror franchises in gaming history! I can remember beating the first two games on the Kindle and it was such a surreal moment, but who would have thought that there would be many sequels after the main trilogy (4-UCN), many spin-off games (World, FiS 2, FiS 3, FR), two incredible VR games, an AR game, the biggest Non-VR installment with a phenomenal DLC (SB/Ruin), tons of merchandise, countless fangames, talented people who made the greatest fansongs for the series, pillars of the community in the form of YouTubers (Markiplier, MatPat, Dawko, 8-BitGaming, FuhNaff, RyeToast, etc.), the fans, the loved composers making absolute bangers for the games and the movie(s) (Leon Riskin, Allen Simpson, A Shell In The Pit, The Newton Brothers, etc.), the many iconic characters not only created by Scott Cawthon himself, but by bigger organisations of people who made it their mission to carry on the legacy of Scott (Steel Wool Studios, Illumix, Mega Cat Studios, etc.) but also by the fans who work tirelessly to figure out the lore of the series and give characters their own style of personality, bringing life to those who seemed to have none, the insane amount of theories and headcanons within the puzzled minds of theorists and fans alike, the crazy amount of books that still wrack our brains to this day (FF, TFtP, SE trilogy, etc.), the nostalgic easter eggs hidden throughout every installment that inspired others to create their very own hoaxes to fool the community, and most importantly the massive success of the games was unexpectedly recognised when Scott was losing hope in his career when his previous game (Chipper & Sons Lumber Co.) didn't have the same effect on people that FNaF eventually would and therefore, led to the production and overwhelming success of the groundbreaking first ever FNaF movie! Seeing it in the cinema on the big screen was an incredible experience that I will never forget. It still amazes me that I went from a small Kindle screen, to an Xbox/TV screen, to a cinema screen and just thinking about the depth of it all made me emotional because I've never stopped loving and caring about this franchise. The impact of it's very existence is still unrivalled, many have tried to recreate the feel and atmosphere of the mascot horror genre that FNaF created with their own games (Poppy Playtime, Garten Of Banban, Tattletail, Bendy and the Ink Machine, etc.) Some succeeded and even became their own stand-alone franchises, of course FNaF didn't completely create the mascot horror genre, it not only reignited it but made it grow in popularity, hence the creation of many beloved fangames of the series. This is such an exciting time for the FNaF community, and I could say much more about the entirety of FNaF, but there's just simply too much of the surface to scratch. Here's to the eventful 10 years of Five Nights at Freddy's!

(Below are my Mini / Plush versions of Sun and Moon. They may not be the best, but I'm still quite happy with how they turned out.)

[groverapologist]

hi!! i hope you're doing well!

i was wondering if you were still doing the headcanons for different characters submitted and, if so, i'd like to submit the one and only annabeth chase (me fr)

have a great day!

yes i am!! just taking more time with them

annabeth chase headcanons:

she is a list and schedule girl. due to her adhd she can struggle a lot with being on track of stuff and finds that scheduling and listing everything helps her exponentially.

as a child she wanted to wear glasses so bad because all the smart characters in tv shows and cartoons wore glasses. she never got them but she's okay with that.

she experiences really strong hyperfocus and burnout periods. she's learned to manage the burnout more over the years, but there are still periods where it sneaks up on her or she overworks herself.

she's always carrying anything you need in her bag. it boggles people's minds sometimes because she would be carrying what appears to be a small bag that fits nothing but somehow has everything needed for a full day of survival.

sometimes her hyperfocus gets really bad that she literally forgets to take care of herself and her needs. it's an issue she's aware of but has not managed to fix yet. percy helps by periodically checking on her and reminding her to take care of herself.

she loves a good cheesy romcom or romance book. she pretends she's above it in front of people she's not close to but is crying to 10 things i hate about you and legally blonde with percy and grover

she and grover grew up together, so they know way too much about one another. they blackmail each other with old photos or memories and threatening to "expose" one another to percy. it's all done as a joke, though, and it always ends with laughter.

she and rachel have grown to become friends and love to draw with one another. despite their completely different approaches to art (with annabeth focusing on geometry and architecture and rachel with surrealism and contemporary art), they love their drawing sessions and always help one another, compliment one anothers' works, and offer constructive criticism.

[oliverreedmasterass]

Can you write like an aftermath of them playing MSG and just reeling from how amazing it was. And that they got to play their dream venue.

ADDISONNNNN this one got me emotional, damn! But here ya go!

Ready for the Garden

Words: 1.8k

Warnings: language, just a lot of emotions

The last notes of “Farewell For Now” surged from Jake’s guitar and, after basking in the feedback for long enough, his hands fell limply to his sides. Out of breath and plastered in sweat, he gazed out at the packed stadium in front of him. Madison Square Garden. Fucking Madison Square Garden. The crowd roared with cheers, many people holding hearts up to him from the pit. The past two hours felt surreal, like Jake had just blacked out and, at the last second, regained consciousness. He continued to stand on his side of the stage as Josh, Sam, and Danny prepared to make their grand exit, and stared down at the Gibson SG that hung from his shoulder, looking spent. 

Jake first touched a guitar when he barely knew how to walk. Kelly was always getting scolded by Karen for leaving his musical instruments laying around the house, but he protested in the years to come that it was the best decision he had ever made. While Josh was busy with his wooden blocks and playing in their large backyard, Jake frequently found himself kneeling in front of his dad’s acoustic guitar, flicking the strings with his small hands. The twangy sound of the guitar vibrating always brought a joyful grin to Jake’s face, and he basked in the excitement of making special noise that he could control. As Jake grew older, he learned that he could place his fingers on the frets to make new sounds and, eventually, he graduated to holding the guitar upright in his lap, of course when Kelly gave him the greenlight. 

Jake looked up from his guitar and returned his gaze back to the crowd. The people seemed to extend on forever, nearly reaching the rafters. Hanging off in the distance were the banners commemorating iconic performances over the years: Billy Joel, Harry Styles, and Phish, for some reason. Jake wondered if his band’s name would ever be up there one day. It didn’t need to be, he was living out his dream just stepping foot in the place, but he could still dream. He looked back down at his black boots and blew out an astonished breath. He was on the stage of one of the most famous arenas of all time. The history that was packed into the place was hardly fathomable. 

Jake sat in front of the TV with the remote in his hand, trying to figure out which concert video he wanted to watch for the evening. His parents had an impressive collection of performances on VHS for him and his siblings to choose from, setting his family apart from all his friends who typically watched Disney classics and Scooby Doo cartoons. As Jake turned the remote in his hands, he realized that it was silly of him to be dwelling so much. There was one concert that he never grew tired of, no matter how many times he watched it. 

“You’re watching The Song Remains the Same again?” Sam called to him from the kitchen as Jake hit “play” on the remote. “Didn’t you watch that last week?” 

“It’s the way their music fills the stadium,” Jake tried to explain to Sam in words that he would understand. “It’s like magic. I want to play there one day and experience it for myself.” 

“That would be neat,” Sam breathed out. Jake smiled that he and his younger brother were both on the same page, and patted the seat next to him. Sam bound over with a bowl of popcorn for them to share so they could witness the magic on screen. 

He spent so many years dreaming of headlining a show at Madison Square Garden, and now it had finally happened. Jake was in the likes of The Who, The Rolling Stones, George Harrison, just about every legendary performer ever known to lead the charts over the years. Jake suddenly felt lonely in his spot on the stage, and remembered that he couldn’t stand out there forever, as much as he wanted to. He turned away from the crowd and, the second he could no longer see his dream in front of him, a sense of finality hit. Tears started to form in Jake’s eyes as he jogged up the steps to the main platform where Josh was waiting for him. The concert had come and gone faster than the blink of an eye. Jake yearned to play one more song but, at the same time, he was so overwhelmed with emotions, he just wanted to flop into a heap on the floor in their green room. Josh rushed to his side the second he noticed a tear splatter onto his jacket collar and laid a warm hand on his shoulder. 

Jake still had no idea how he had managed to convince Josh to join his band. Granted, Josh did have an impressive set of pipes on him and he wasn’t shy to use them in his theater performances, but rock n’ roll had always been Jake’s thing. Following one of their long and arduous practice sessions after school, Josh stood over Jake as he carefully packed his guitar back into its case. 

“Did you hear about that Eric Clapton contest?” Josh asked. Jake looked back at Josh and arched an eyebrow. Anything about any member of Cream immediately had his attention. “The winner gets to play on stage with him. You just have to submit audio of yourself playing and encourage people to vote for you. And, get this, it’s at Madison Square Garden.” 

Jake was on his feet now. Everything Josh had just mapped out sounded like a goddamn dream, but the last part about playing on stage at Madison Square Garden made it seem too good to be true. Jake would give anything to show off his chops in front of a flabbergasted crowd, shredding like his life depended on it. Jake pictured himself, just 17 years old, on stage at the Garden. Butterflies flocked to his stomach and he reached for his guitar to get to recording. Josh was tickled by his immediate action, and headed for his room. 

“I’ll write a tweet about this on the band account,” he said over his shoulder with a laugh. 

“Are you okay?” Josh whispered into Jake’s ear. More tears were dropping from his eyes, but he didn’t want to wipe them away because it would be a dead giveaway to the crowd that he was up on stage, bawling like a child. The grin he gave Josh in return was much more accurate to how he was really feeling, and Josh seemed to take comfort in his response. “We did it,” he whispered to Jake, wrapping his arm around him. “We actually did it.” 

“What the fuck,” was all Jake could choke out. 

Sam joined them, his face bright and filled with delight.

“That was something else, wasn’t it?” he called over the sound of the crowd. 

“You could say that,” Josh chuckled at his younger brother. 

“I don’t remember the last time I was that terrified to play in front of a crowd,” Sam continued. 

“I’m fucking terrified to go out there,” Sam squeaked as he peered out the curtain at the half-filled Fischer Hall. 

“Sam, language!” Josh scolded him. “You’re, like, 13, you shouldn’t be talking like that.” 

“I’m old enough to drop f bombs!” Sam protested. “Jake was saying all kinds of shit when he was my age!” 

“That is true,” Jake pointed out. 

Danny nodded knowingly. “I learned most of what I know from you.” 

“How many people are out there, like a thousand?” Sam continued to worry from the wing of the small stage. Danny stood on his toes to look over Sam and then shook his head. 

“I’d say twenty. Tops.” 

“Can we postpone this? I think I have a stomach ache,” Sam tried. 

“No,” Jake, Josh, and Danny were all fast to reply. 

Jake wouldn’t admit it, but he was feeling just as nervous as Sam, if not more. It was their first actual gig at an actual place where playing music was at least semi-acceptable. This was no garage, backyard, or sidewalk show. This was the start of their career, and Jake could feel the weight on his shoulders. He and Josh were set to head to college in the fall, but Jake secretly hoped deep down that his band would do the unthinkable and take off. It was the one thing Jake had that felt right; school was always secondary in his life to music, so it seemed like the wrong thing to pursue. This concert was their chance to showcase their talent, get the recognition they deserved, and finally be put on the map. 

“We’re gonna be fine,” Josh assured Sam. 

Jake nervously wrung his hands, took in a deep breath, released, and then stepped out into the lights. 

With his brothers by his side, Jake carefully made his way down the steps off the stage after giving a grand bow, and let the floodgates open the second he was out of the public eye. A few roadies looked at him with concern, but Danny, who Jake had lost on stage when he was caught in his head, hurried to him and smothered him in a massive hug. 

“Jake!” he called out. “Your dream came true!” 

Jake could only manage to make short hyperventilating noises as the drummer continued to smother him in his big, sweaty arms. His dream really did come true. Memories of the evening flashed through his mind, from his knotted stomach seconds before the curtain fell, to playing “Highway Tune” and musing at how far they had come, to hearing people begging for more leading up to their encore, to the stadium filling with a stunning glow of colors during “Light My Love.” It felt like something out of a fairytale. Jake leaned in deeper to Danny’s hug and, within seconds, Josh and Sam had joined the embrace so they could all revel in the moment. 

Jake felt the smother of his brothers and shook his head in awe. Nine years ago, they formed Greta Van Fleet, now they were at the Garden. Their hard work had paid off. All of the things they had missed out on or given up to chase their dreams stung a little less. They had made it. They had actually made it. 

Jake surprised himself when he was the first to break free from the group hug. 

“Where do we go from here?” he found himself asking. They all looked around at each other in giddy eagerness. 

“Pompeii,” Sam decided. “Like Pink Floyd.” 

“I think a rooftop performance would be pretty cool,” Danny offered. 

“You’re all thinking too small,” Josh waved them off. “I say we aim for the moon.” 

That got everyone laughing. 

“What do you think, Jakey?” Sam looked across at his older brother. 

“It doesn’t matter to me,” Jake shrugged with a twinkle in his eye. “As long as I’m with you guys.”

Fandom Story-time!

I thought I'd share my experience with taking a newly made class at university about online Fandoms. Its basically like an introduction to fandom activities and fanfiction - including their themes and tropes.

I attended the class because I was up to my ears in more demanding assignments so I figured, hey! I love participating in fandoms. I wrote my first fic at 11. This'll be fun.

I had about 12 classmates, 3 of whom knew what fandom/fanfiction were. The rest did not.

They'd never read fanfiction before and didn't know what it was, how it differed from published novels. So our jolly lecturer, a fabulous lady with pink and blue hair, enthusiastically searched on Ao3 and used a projector so that everyone in class could see her meaning when she pointed to different tags and explained what they meant, (such as canon divergence, fanon, alternate universe, genderswap ect) answering questions. The thing is she left the projector on the Ao3 page for an inordinate amount of time while talking.

I tell you, it was a surreal experience to see 'Anal fisting' in huge letters up on a screen in class. It was even more so when terms like dubcon, mpreg and omegaverse were asked about and explained.

Oh and I probably should mention that English wasn't most peoples first language in the class.

There was a mix of emotions. A couple of students left and didn't come back. Those who stayed were a little confused but grew interested! Especially when we covered fanfiction mixing Japanese characters with Hogwarts AUs.

Btw we read fanfictions for homework. The fandoms being: Hannibal, Yuri on Ice, Sherlock, Marvel, Teen Wolf, Lotr and various Korean tv dramas.

(It wasn't hugely focused on smut tbh despite that first brush with the tags. We mostly discussed and debated fandom behaviour, gender portrayals, genre blends and representation in media)

It was my favourite class tbh, probably my favourite ever over anything I've taken, and I'll miss its unhinged energy fr

Ask game: 1, 8, and 37? :000

1: What are 3 things you'd say shaped you into who you are?

Ohh man this is a hard one...to get real serious with it, I think the mission trip I went on to Philadelphia the summer before my sophomore year of high school is single handedly responsible for me going full blown leftist. I know "mission trip" has some Connotations, but that one was basically a trip to an organization in the inner city that ran educational programs for youth groups about urban issues like gentrification and systemic racism. It was really eye opening for me and also help solidify the radical values I was already absorbing from other parts of my life. Shout out to Broad Street Ministries fr. My music history professor also had a huge impact on me as a person! She's one of the only reasons I didn't have a completely awful college experience and also she gave me Ethnomusicology Brainworms <33 And to end on a sillier one, reading Narnia in 1st grade gave me the most unhinged autism possible 😌

8: Any reoccurring dreams?

I don't have any like, plot specific reoccurring dreams, but I do keep having dreams set in this surreal version of DC's Chinatown for some unknown reason. Also a LOT of anxiety dreams related to escalators 😭

37: Share a secret

The only secret I can think of that isn't a deeply personal secret from someone else and is something that won't ever get back to the people I'm keeping it from is we're working on unionizing my workplace!! Which I feel comfortable sharing on here because I know pretty certainly that no one in our administration is on tumblr and also the only person from work that I know for certain is on tumblr is. Involved in those talks. So it's okay if she sees this. But anyways :)) yippee I love unions
