#thank you for playing

[mf-artdump]

I've been playing Splatoon since the very first game. And seeing my playable character in the first game reappear and grow in Splatoon 2 and 3, makes my heart clench with bittersweet joy because I grew up with them.

Splatoon grew and I also grew and I couldn't be happier to grow up together.

Thank you for the maritime memories.

🦀 CRAB DAY! 🦀

my job here is done! .。:*・°☆

[doriana-gray-games]

Doriana, I dont really get how that tetris game in your master thesis game is supposed to work? how does one 'win', exactly? there was no explanation and now I have no idea what to say for the questionaire haha

Ahh, ok so here's the controls that are available on the itch page! <3

> Block Stacking Puzzle controls

Movement left and right: A and D or Left and Right Arrow Keys Soft drop: Hold S or Down Arrow Hard drop: W or Up Arrow Rotate right: E or X Rotate left: Q or Z Hold: Space bar or Shift

The idea is simply to get the first enemy's health down to 0. which happens when you stack cubes in a row (more health is deducted if u remove multiple at the same time!)

Then continue playing until you get to a black "the end" screen and the game turns off.

And then if you get to the end of the form, there's a Lestrade and ball ch reward 💋♥️✨

Hope that helps!

Oooohh Amira, I just saw your Interview Game, and I would love to join if you still have a free slot 💗💗 Can I please have an interview with boyfie Sukuna? 😍

Three things I love about myself: My humor, my kindness, my passion for the things I love.

Three fun facts about my selfship: I think Sukuna is actually funny af and we always laugh a lot together + we both share a passion for good food and love to cook together or for each other + we started as fuckbuddies but then realized we are soulmates

a/n: sukuna’s text is bolded for an easier reading experience <3

“I’m just gonna start with the fact that it was almost impossible getting you to agree to an interview. What changed your mind all of a sudden?”

“Ah I…my girlfriend said I should just do it.” Sukuna grumbled in response.

“Your girlfriend?”

“Yeah. Winter.”

“So all it took was her asking you to do it. That’s all?”

“Yes now what’s your point,” he retorts, irritated.

“Someone’s —“ cough “—whipped—“ cough

“The fuck’d you ju—“

“ANYWAYS, let’s get to the real questions. This one’s basic but: what do you like most about Winter?”

“She’s cute.”

“Now’s not the time to be shy about it. Elaborate.”

After throwing some unkind words at the interviewer for the attitude, he finally responds. “Winter’s…she’s just…perfect. She’s a brat all right,” he scoffs, “but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like that. And she’s funny as fuck, man. The things she says…you’d never think it was coming outta her mouth. There’s a lot she says that I never expect out of her innocent looking ass—

“Ugh,” he groans, “now you got me thinking about her ass.”

“Which is cute?”

“Yeah well no—well yeah. I mean it’s cute but it’s also sexy as fuck. I just wanna—“

“Woah woah woah. I think you’re veering off now.”

“Right. Where was I?”

“You elaborating on why Winter’s so cute.”

“Like I said, she’s funny. And selfless, thoughtful, smart…”

“That’s such a sweet answ—“

“…and she’s hot as fuck. The smartest thing I ever did was make her my girlfriend.”

“And when did that happen?”

“When did I make her my girlfriend? Not too long after we started fucking”

“Oh so you two had like a friends with benefits kinda thing then? At first?”

“Yeah, I mean back then I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but I saw her and I just had to have her, even if it just meant having her under me.”

“Okay! I think our times running out so I’ll ask one last question. What’s something that might bother you about Winter?”

“The fact that she’s not sat on my lap right now while I have to deal with this shitty ass interview— the fuck kinda question was that anyways?!”

INTERVIEW YOUR FAVE!!

Hi!! You seem to know much abt historical outfits, so you seem like the person who would know. If you don't mind me asking, what did swimwear in each period look like. The only one I know of is the pale yellow, long dress. But what else? Thank you.

Hi! I can't say I'm that all knowing but I can try my best summarize the history of swimwear if that interests you!

First things first, it used to just be nudity. Swimming and bathing were nearly one and the same and was simply done naked. Why get cloth wet when you could swim without the hassle? If anyone was wearing something to swim in it was most likely their undergarments, whichever kind they were wearing.

I think the long yellow-dress you are referring to is the late 17th century bathing garment for women. This canvas construction was for English ladies wanting to attend a public bath/spa. Why? Because England began writing laws about nude swimming.

So by the 18th century, more and more European countries decided citizens had to wear some sort of shift or garment to swim or bathe in. This demand for swimming garments eventually created a supply. The 'West' started wearing specialized swimming garments. These ensembles were somewhere between shifts, bloomers and drawers.

Victorian society is notorious for their... prudish behaviors. So the 19th century doubled down to the invention of the Bathing Suit. Which eventually lost it's sleeves, shortened and evolved into the modern swim suit.

Though honestly Wikipedia could tell you all this much better than I can. (；´∀｀)

For Curtis and Honey 💕🍯

15. What songs remind you of their relationship?

Honey grins. "Easy, James Arthur, Say You Won't Let Go makes me think of the two of us. Some of the lyrics, its how I envision us later in life."

"Now I gotta look up that song. For me it would have to be Make It Sweet from Old Dominion, the tune reminds me a lot of my Honey."

'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me I never gotta wonder where my honey be I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night Seven days a week I got an appetite

"It just... sums up how I feel about us." Curtis nods.

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK.

Shout out to @sagechanoafterdark for the suggestion of Make It Sweet, it's where the title of the series came from.

[elisedonut]

so hear me out

James Potter/Percy Weasley

probably the Percy/Marauder ship I've thought the least about

just by virtue of having to craft a scenario for it

Peter and Remus both already kind of have one built in (both kind of fucked up ones but you know it's there) And Pericus has that whole leaving their families thing to lean on

While with James when he died Percy was like five so like

you have to like decide what AU you want to play with

with that in mind take all of this with a grain of salt im making stuff up as go

Like I do think Time Travel could work with them possibly if the scenario played out well

and by that i mean I think that the time travel method itself has to be kinda obvious and that the Marauders have to be the ones to find him

My logic with this is

we already know because of Remus that James would be interested in something that screams adventure and intrigue because it's already happened once so i just think as long as nothing else is putting him off about him.

Then Percy coming out of seemingly no where despite this being somewhere like Hogwarts where he wouldn't be able to apperate would be able to fuel his curiosity for awhile

I keep just thinking that James is convinced Percy's just also a secret Animagus

Also Percy's kind of like Lily if you squint, and take a step back, and turn your head to the side a bit so could make for a rebound

The only thing here though unlike a lot of other Percy time travel ships I feel Percy would be pushing for James to still get with Lily

unless this more like an Alternate Universe time travel scenario where it seems like the characters in the past but them all of a sudden

*gasp* Myrtle Warren is still alive???

Or you know a different tell that's just the one I've personally seen used

Showing that it's always been a different world entirely

But yeah i don't think Percy would try to take Harry away from his siblings no matter how old he was when he went back so i think he'd still be pushing for James to end up with her

Which i mean could also be fun also it would be funny if it back fired

It could also work in that one Soulmate Au concept i really like

The whole "Meeting your soulmate stupid young is a sign of one of you not living to adulthood" concept

Though for that one my brain is thinking less about James/Percy and more about Harry & Percy

and as with any soulmate au what stupid laws would be in place in that kind of world and could Percy try to claim guardianship over Harry on account of Harry being his soulmates kid (and so by the laws eyes his too) Since I think Percy would be paying alot more attention to him in that kind of universe

Oh and also who Lily's soulmate would have been and also maybe a that person/Percy situation

Let's see let's see

There's the obvious(to me) scenario of the Map having something similar to clones

I've seen it done once with Sirius I want to say? but idk it may have been James

but it's where a part of what they did for the map was stupid and led to one or all of them ending up with copy's of their younger selves stuck in the map for years and stuff

point is easy way to make any ship you want with the marauders imo because it can put them in a situation where their old world is gone and their only choice is to pick up what they can and move along

Even more so with Weasley one's since we know the twins had the map for years so you can have James "wake up" at any point you want

and added bonus for James/Percy

Percy doesn't share a room with anyone so if you were to have it happen pre-war and have the Weasley's just take James in. It would make the most sense to room him with Percy since even if James is the youngest he could possibly be he'd be closer to Percy's age then to Ron's

Yeah yeah Bill and Charlies room would be empty so yeah he could stay there too and it would work too because then he'd be pushed to sleep in Percy's room when Bill and Charlie come to the burrow for holidays and such which could be just as fun because then they would have short times of not being used to it vs constantly being in each other's space

even though I do think Story wise him being pushed into Percy's room with him from the start has more potential for fun interactions tbh

Last one

James lived somehow au

Maybe only James and Harry

maybe they all lived somehow

Divorced DILF James/Percy

its a simple one but sounds fun to me

I have no other thoughts other then that though

Maybe Percy's a tutor for Harry or something idk

Anyway

Personality wise i think they could maybe work depending on how you interpret them and what directions you lean for them

James is an asshole but that's never kept me from shipping Percy with someone before

and James is a Quidditch boy and a Head boy like 👀 that's like two of Percy's types that i like to give him rolled into one If you find a way for James to live until middle age you can have him tick the older man box for Percy to

I do worry if i went looking for it though That Percy would be written like snarky/sarcastic and way mean for no reason and feel nothing like Percy to me and James like all the stuff i hate when reading really off (to me) Oliver depictions though so you know

Final answer idk Fun to consider though

[valeffelees]

2, 12, 25 and 26 about your most beloved Davy Cadwallader :)

i adore you. <3

2. Favourite canon thing about this character?

the juxtaposition between davy cadwallader being a wicked powerful magician, a rebel gone too far, an insider looking out, a visionary, and an extremely calculated antagonist, who gets up every morning and dresses like robin hood.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

that davy is fascinated by magickal flora and fauna and, in another life, would've gone on to study magickal ecology and dedicated himself to the preservation of endangered magickal species.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

i feel like i've always liked him, but i'm an unreliable narrator when it comes to davy cadwallader. bc i KNOW i wasn't always like that about him.

but there was a point when i was like that about him where i really didn't want anybody to know i was like that about him, so i faked being a hater and now there's no true observable timeline for my madness. he got his teeth in me pretty early tho, i wrote my first meta about him a month or two after i finished the books.

my take on him now is that he's the love of my life. <3

26. What's something the character has done you can't get over?

he was his own downfall. davy would've gotten away with everything, but he made one mistake that ripple-effect fucked him over so bad he wound up dead instead, and i think about that all the time.

Todays rip: 30/03/2024

THANK YOU FOR RIPPING

Season 1 Featured on: beatmania IIDX 7 GRAND Also on: GilvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 7: Part mm2wood

Ripped by beat_shobon

Requested by Bumsoldier! @bumsoldier (Request Form)

Its that time again - another Season 1 finale rip! But there's a good reason these keep showing up, as I reiterate with each one I cover - The Season 1 finale was when the team was truly firing on all cylinders to end the channel off with a bang. Planet Wisp Mashup Medley, The SiIvaGunner Smurfs Collab, File Select Fusion Collab, Stone Halation - tons of these incredibly ambitious, full-blast collaborations, that I've written plenty of words about already. In comparison, THANK YOU FOR RIPPING feels almost as if dwarfed in scope, not helped by being a rip of a comparatively niche series. Which is a damn shame - because what beat_shobon has done here is just as much of a loveletter to the entire channel yet expressed through his own individual style in a far more condensed runtime.

First of all though - wow, beat_shobon! It's been since Rolling Start that I wrote about one of his rips, and since then I've learned that he's become a bit of a superstar since his 2016 SiIvaGunner days - notably winning a Vocaloid songwriting contest with the ironically-named Can't Make A Song!! in 2018. The guy has a great grasp on this kind of music, is my point, and both Rolling Start and THANK YOU FOR RIPPING show that off well - but more importantly, I adore how THANK YOU FOR RIPPING still feels as much like a love letter to SiIvaGunner as a whole as it does a flexing of its rippers' muscles. The song used as the foundation for the mashup is GO MY WAY!! from the IDOLM@STER franchise, a song that was immensely notable in Season 1 as the song to supposedly "replace" Snow Halation during The Reboot storyline - see I Saw a Brainwasher Today for a bit more details on this. Its a song that I remember receiving a lot of pushback during that event as a result of those connotations, as a lot of people found it to be even *more* grating of an idol song than Snow Halation was - yet with The Reboot concluded, with those emotions settled, I find that the song has come to represent a sense of...unity, in the fanbase. It IS silly idol music, but we've come to accept it as part of SiIvaGunner, as a result of what The Reboot taught us.

That's far from all that THANK YOU FOR RIPPING contains, of course - the piano in the background continuously plays segments of The Flintstones theme throughout the entire song, as it jumps from joke to joke. Its a bit of a journey throughout the entire channel's life during Season 1: starting where it all began with Vinesauce Joel's reaction to 7 Grand Dad, to a quick clip of Snoop Dogg's "Smoke Weed Everyday!!", a sudden jumpscare from The Bean (I'll get to it someday), then moving into memes prominent in the season's last few months, in the infamous POKEMON GO SONG!!! and The Nutshack theme. All the while, again, those Flintstones-esque notes stay prominently audible in the background, as to keep reminding us of where this whole thing all began.

Perhaps most interesting of all, though, is near the rips end at around the 1:30 mark. Another Vinesauce Joel clip plays, a quite well known one - "WHO'S BEEN DRAWING DICKS?" - but its pitch shifted in a way that may ring as familiar to many of you. It is, indeed, directly referencing the rip "Creative Exercise - Mario Paint", known by its album name as Mario Paint exe 2. A sequel to a prior-made Soundcloud mashup from the same ripper in 2015, this is as of today the third-most-viewed rip on the entire SiIvaGunner channel - and was, to my surprise, also made by beat_shobon. Making that connection, then, drew my attention to another part of the rip just a few seconds earlier, where the instantly-recognizable bellow of "DAY-TO-NAAA!!!" from Daytona USA plays in the midst of the mix. I cannot help but think that this is a direct callback to Rolling Start, as another one of beat_shobon's most celebrated rips - one also made during The Reboot, tracing back to the rip's central joke.

I dunno - there are tons of these little connections to make within the surprisingly dense 2-minute runtime of THANK YOU FOR RIPPING, yet they all work toward the very same emotional goal. Gratitude - a thank you, from the entire SiIvaGunner channel yes, but also from beat_shobon himself, thanking us all for having enjoyed so much of the channel's life. Through thick and thin, through Reboots and Beans, though rips made by people all over the world - we loved SiIvaGunner more than ever before during the Season 1 finale. And its always such a treat to go back to that time and see just how much it meant to even the rippers behind it all.

For fanfic tropes! How do you feel about rockstar AUs and the "uh oh there's only one bed" trope?

It's usually a C for me, definitely something I'm not looking for but if the other tags in the fic catch my fancy then I'll absolutely give it a shot.

The rockstar au does kinda tend to portay Ed as way too cool meanwhile he's a little cringefail hypercompetent baby with the voice of a sickly raccoon - which is mainly why it's not my jam

Hard hard A for only one bed trope, if a rockstar au has that tag I'm clicking on it lmao

[liebe-ist-musik]

My assumption is that you would gladly count RZKs butthole hairs.

😂

Bold of you to assume he has butthole hair and is not glatt wie ein Babypopo.

I love hair and would love to count his chest hairs, but I'll leave that specific region to others ;)

[child-of-the-cosmos]

Counting the pinned post, iiii found 5 treats! Hoping the pinned post counts lol-

Close!! The answer was actually 8 in total- but not to worry, partner, ya still get a prize!

Some nifty lil' jack-o-pies! One bite will knock your head off! (not literally don't worry)

I thank ya kindly for ya participation this year, and will be happy to see ya in the next! Happy Halloween!!!

[happypedrohours]

10 and G for the shark-coochie writing challenge 🤍

Coming right up! I am not proud to say it took me longer than it should have to understand what you meant but also it's 7am and I've only had one sip of coffee!

You get Javi G and olives!!!!

Now let your imagination run wild and don't forget to tag your creation #happypedrohours when the event starts on June 21 (or before if you'd like to share it with us before)

[mizuthe-cat]

I’m okay most of the time but sometimes I just think too hard about the characters and I cry a lot

[aragarna]

For the fanfic ask!

6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?

A Good Omens fic, recommended by my friend Argyle called Deception and Subterfuge. Aziraphale plays detective and Crowley indulges him. All in a perfectly adorable and in-character (and gen) style.

Not really a comedy but a very fun read.

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

I have 3 AO3 tabs opened right now XD One being @donfadrique's fic, that I need to properly read now that it's published!

Book wise, I just finished a book, so as soon as I'm home, I need to finish that essay on how History keeps erasing Women and how feminism comes and goes in waves. I started it a couple of months ago, put it on pause as I wanted something more novel-like while travelling, but it's a very interesting read ( a bit enraging too). It's in French, and I doubt there's a traduction (yet?). It's called Les Grandes Oubliées, by Titiou Lecocq

Thank you for asking! :)
