Iā€™m pretty sure Mike and El are the only couple in the show that donā€™t have shared interests.
Lucas and Max: Arcade games
Dustin and Suzie: Science/Technology
Jonathan and Nancy: Documenting life (Through Photography/Journalism)
Joyce and Hopper: Investigation (Hop was a cop, Joyce is Joyce) +caring for their kids
Mike and El are never given any interest that they both have and do together. Their relationship isnā€™t even given much volume beyond their trauma bonding. They actually went out of their way to have El dismissing Mikeā€™s interests and only have El gain her own when sheā€™s away from Mike.
With every other couple we have scenes of their shared interests adding to their relationship. Scenes that prove that their dynamic is rooted in a real, not-purely-physical connection.
There is one other couple who didnā€™t have shared interestsā€¦ (*cough* Steve and Nancy *cough* who are broken up *cough*).
Mike and Will by default have a lot of shared interests. Theyā€™d be the only best friends to lovers in the show (which is actually crazy in a show with so many couples and friendships). DnD, despite being the root of the party itself, is specifically tied to these two in an interesting way. Theyā€™ve used dnd a few times as text above a more romantic subtext, which I feel like deserves its own post.
(I feel like itā€™s worth noting that technically they have Art (writing and painting), but Mikeā€™s interest in writing has never been specifically confirmed in the show, so Iā€™m not counting that.)
Iā€™d be really interested in seeing canon byler having an isolated interest in season 5 that goes beyond subtext. Even if itā€™s still dnd, just isolated.

Callum, sliding down the prison wall next to Runaan: Hey, I'm really sorry that my brother arrested you.
Runaan: ...
Callum: And that my aunt Amaya stabbed you. We should really get you to a healer.
Runaan, exasperated: I'm sorry is this OUR stab wound? No. Stay out of it human.
Callum: ...
Callum: Alright then.
Callum: *stabs himself in the leg*
Runaan: WHAT THE FUā€“
Callum: Opeli, can you call a healer for OUR stab wounds, please.

atsushi's entire gag of going "i'm a tiger, not a cat" is fun to me outside of the obvious reason of "tigers are just big cats" because i enjoy seeing people interpret it in various ways in fics and other works. i think my favorite is the idea that he doesn't like being called a cat because it feels dehumanizing to be treated like an animal rather than a person; it feels real enough to fit his character. realistically though i know it's probably because atsushi is a teenager and just being a cat sounds lame as fuck to him

speaking of fucked up overly hated female twdg characters i find it Super Interesting how people will say carver was the best villain in the whole series, but when lilly is literally just a successful carver (iron fist leader of a community turning children into soldiers) suddenly shes a bad/lame villain for some reason šŸ¤”

So the Seraphim only take orders from certain people they've been programmed to follow (namely the Vegapunks and the Gorosei), but also they do take orders from individuals who possess an authority chip. Between that and the knowledge that the Seraphim are cyborgs, it makes me wonder...
Like, do they have somekinda control chip installed somewhere in their bodies (brain, spine?) that acts as the thing that forces them to follow orders and not act (too much) on their own will? 'Cause would the existence of an authority chip, a thing that essentially "sends out orders", not also imply the existence of something that recieves the order (like other than their brain) and forcibly puts it into motion? Something similar to whatever visual scanner+database combo Vegapunk installed into Kuma that allowed him to instantly recognize certain people and whether or not they were enemies or allies to him (at least as far as the WG thinks)
'Cause if so, like. I wonder. Could you remove that chip and basically free the Seraphim from being just borderline-mindless flesh robots?
In that scenario... what would they become?
Because, like, we don't know how much Free Will the Seraphim even have, how developed their minds are? Are/would they be fully functional human beings (if immature because they're still kids) who have just had half their mind essentially turned off so they don't think about anything else except following orders? If you freed them from the WG's control would they be able to live and function freely just like Stussy's clone can? But when being under that kind of control is all they've ever known, would they know how to function? Like what do you do, where do you go, who do you become? Who are you to begin with, does that even matter? What about your relation to the person you were cloned from, what does that mean? Are you doomed (šŸŠšŸ¦©šŸ¦‡) or expected (šŸ¦ˆšŸ»šŸšŸ¦…) to become just like the person you were cloned from? Do you even want that? What will having that kind of freedom to do and become whatever you want even mean to someone who has never known what it means to even want something for themselves?
(But also, depending on who you were cloned from, would people even trust you enough to allow you go free and live your own life, or would you be deemed a threat by simply existing because you are the clone of a horrible, heinous person?) (Of course, we know existing is not a crime, and no one is born into this world a criminal. But we also know the World of One Piece does not always think this kindly)

The strongest warriors are those that love botw but don't ship zelink (me its me I'm the strongest warrior)
#*points at botw link* the boy is aroace and theres nothing you could say or do that'll convince me otherwise#(boy in an incredibly nonbinary way btw. hes also nonbinary to me and i cant be convinced otherwise of that either)#tbh? I generally dont ship zelink lol idk its never appealed to me like i never *got* it?#with the exception of skyward sword zelink but thats becos ur invested from the start w/ those two#and link isnt a knight so he isnt bound by obligated--thats just his best friend!!!!#and maybe he didn't have feelings at first but after all that shit went down and theres the threat of him losing her#(and vice versa on Zelda's end) it puts things into perspective...they cant and dont want to fathom a world without the other#honestly i read it both as romance and transcending the confines of romance#(which i suppose suits two characters whose souls/spirits are doomed to reincarnate every cycle lol)#but anyways#maybe also spirit tracks zelink. sometimes! it depends on my mood#spirit tracks arguably (and i will argue) has the best developed zelda so that definitely contributes#becos as much as i love botw and like totk. they really pissed on zelda's character...especially in totk#spirit tracks zelda is much more fleshed out and complete im gonna be real w/ u#again w/ her and link theyve been through shit together and although they werent friends to start like ss link and zelda#they grow into it and eventually become incredibly close so sometimes i read it as romance#but otherwise yeah. not a huge zelink fan!#botw link is much more interested in food than romance and of that isn't the most stereotypical ace thing than idk what is#scout.txt

I think I would be happier w bucktommy all these episodes down the line if Tommy still interacted with or asked after Eddie. I know thereā€™s a lot the show doesnā€™t put onscreen so thereā€™s no reason why it couldnā€™t have plausibly happened or couldnā€™t still happen (and I hope it does), but Tommy was Eddieā€™s friend first! They hung out a lot!
And yet, since he got together with Buck, we havenā€™t gotten to see them interact.
Granted, there hasnā€™t been a lot of screen time for Tommy and thatā€™s fine, itā€™s a short season w very little room to breathe. This isnā€™t some sort of angry anti bucktommy tirade. But it does make me just a tad uncomfortable the way things are at this moment. Bc itā€™s not a stretch to theorize that maybe Tommy was hoping things Eddie might go somewhere and when they didnā€™t, he tried with Buck. I donā€™t think thatā€™s supported by the text, but itā€™s also not negated, either. Idk. Itā€™s not a huge deal at the moment, just a little snag?
Listen I am a buck fan but I am an eddie fan!!!!!!! And I am so so sad for eddie this season itā€™s been rly fucking rough on him! Not like buck needs to change anything (except not be a jealous freak and lash out physically if he canā€™t use his words), like I said Iā€™m here for bucktommy I think theyā€™re great. But like. Whereā€™s the awkward ā€œhey how do we hang out now that you two make out sometimesā€ or whatever?? We deserve to see that tbh! Itā€™s a more common issue in queer circles, that ppl have to slip in and out of romantic/platonic interactions when people partner up or break up. Itā€™s also the first time either of them have dated anyone within the LAFD and so itā€™s the first time this could ever have even come up!
Idk man. Just I keep thinking about how happy eddie seemed when he was hanging out w Tommy and maybe itā€™s just bc that ep was meant to be from Buckā€™s pov but i donā€™t know whatā€™s worse, thinking it WAS real and now he doesnā€™t get to have that friendship anymore or that it WASNT real and he was never actually having that good of a time.
MY REAL POINT is that anyone who WAS or IS a buddie shipper or anyone who likes Eddie at all has to acknowledge how important buck and eddie are to each other, right? Which means that in any relationship that either of them ever have, if they want it to be serious and have long term potential, they actually need to integrate their partner with their best friend.
Maybe this is too weird for some ppl? Itā€™s always seemed like a given, like if thereā€™s someone new and important in my life, I def want my best friend to meet them and like them bc I want us all to be able to spend time together! I donā€™t want to feel split between them all the time! And esp with Tommy already having connections with most of the 118/main cast, and particularly Eddie, it would make sense for us to see them interacting!
Idk. Iā€™m probably wanting too much from my network tv show lol I just. I will literally never take bucktommy seriously as a pairing if they donā€™t manage to address the Eddie of it all. And not in a ā€œaddress the fact that buck loves himā€ contrived jealousy nonsense. I mean address the fact that their lives are bound together! And it predates anyone that either of them will ever date! Plus imagine the character growth it would take for Buck to send Tommy to Thursday basketball with like a plate of cookies and orange slices or something but not show up himself. Be like ā€œhave fun with the boys, slap Eddieā€™s ass for meā€ or whatever šŸ˜‚ I would believe Buck was finally on his way to being ready for a long term adult relationship if they managed that, is all Iā€™m saying

Full disclosure, I watched the first two or three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina and decided it wasn't really for me, so I'm well behind, but did they really not do the " you know I'm in love with you, right?" Vaxleth kiss?

Lost Running With Scissors Games
Hey, girlie, don't mind me sliding into your Tumblr. Just here to share some interesting lost media with you.
Now if you follow me or lurk around on my blog, the chances of you being a fellow Postal enjoyer are high. Can't blame you, it's a good games series that I'm most definitely normal about. Yup, very normal about this game. But I'm not here to talk about Postal (for once in my life). I'm actually here to share some lost Running With Scissors media with you.
Yep, RWS has some lost media. I was looking around the Lost Media Wiki to see if Postal had any lost media and found this. It's called Guardian and Flesh & Wire, cancelled shooters that were developed by Running with Scissors and would've been published by Ripcord Games. For those who may not know, Ripcord Games published the first Postal game.
Tumblr media
(Here's the logo for Flesh & Wire. There hasn't been one found for Guardian at the moment)
Due to how controversial Postal was, Ripcord had told RWS that if they wanted to continue working together, they would need to ditch the idea of making a Postal sequel and make a new IP. Since Ripcord owned the license of Postal at the time, RWS weren't able to break off and make a sequel. There were two games proposed but got rejected
We're gonna follow the wiki and start with Guardian. I'm gonna put direct quotes for what the gameplay/story is about.
"The story would revolve around Rakk, a fighter who joins the Umbreks to stop the Nullids who are about to "have earthlings for breakfast." According to the lore, the Umbreks were oppressed by the technology advanced Nullids and killing and indigenous species became a real taboo for them. It's unknown if the developers planned to implement this in the game. If true, it's possible that, Unlike Postal, killing them would punish the player. You would've started off with a core set of moves including a traditional Umbrek weapon called an Arraka, As the game goes on, you acquire new skills through genetic assimilation, a process consisting of the ability for Umbreks to absorb the minds of the Nullids. The absorbed skills would simply disappear after a certain time. Excessive use could cause the protagonist's mind to change for the rest of the game."
Guardian was announced at E3 1998. It was meant to be RWS second title.
According to Vince Desi, the game was to use motion capture and was all about "flesh and wire". It was originally a third-person shooter that was to use 3D characters and real life background that were digitized, and multiple camera angles, dynamic lighting, and special effects. It was planned to be released on PC in 1999 and have a DVD version that would have better graphics.
Now for Flesh & Wire. Again, I'll be quoting the Lost Media Wiki for the gameplay/story.
"Unlike, Guardian, Flesh & Wire would've centered around a sleazy cop name Angus. One morning, he woke up to see his city being engulfed by a bio-ship named Nulloid. Not only that, but he also found a blob-like creature devouring his legs. Rather than calling a doctor, he came to the realization the he could control the blob and use it for good. From there on, you would've moved around levels, utilizing special abilities and solved puzzles, such as creating either a ladder to reach high places, a bungee to get down or even a shield to protect yourself from enemies. It bears many similarities to the 1989's A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia, a game developed by Imagineering for the NES. Unlike that game however, Flesh & Wire was a far-less family friendly and featured grotesque monster designs. You could carry weapons such as a gatling cannon, an electric gun and poison gas, to which you could even combine to make even more powerful weapons. The game would also encourage players to collect as much material as possible to increase the amoeba's size and speed, and would even lose some of its mass the more the player moves."
The animation for Flesh & Wire would be done in rotoscoping live martial arts students. The movements would be recorded on synchronized digital cameras set at 90 degrees apart from each other. They were to be digitized and loaded onto Softimage 3D, an animation software, and to be used as reference for the animators to use. Randy Briley, the studio's art team leader, came up with the idea pf building the levels of the games using miniature layout, using scraps of PVC pipes, copper tubing, old VCRs, and other items that were glued and painted. This was done to save money and resources. The results were successful.
The game was announced in March 1999. It would've been RWS' first game released on console
That same year, Panasonic Interactive Media, Ripcord's parent company, announced their closure. The senior management team at Panasonic made a deal to acquire Ripcord and make it an independent company. RWS announced that they would still continue working on Flesh & Wire on their own and that they'd support Ripcord's new team. But then Ripcord drooped their support for Flesh & Wire. RWS had spent $1.5 million into Flesh & Wire and had planned to released it in the next year, but they were unable to find any publishers that would support the project which had ultimately led to the cancellation of Flesh & Wire.
Here's some of the concept art from the Wiki. Both these games would've been really cool to see. It's sad that they weren't able to come to fruition though. Hopefully, we can find more out about these games.

I'm sorry these pics are blurry, I took these all from the wiki and that's how they were. And to be honest, F&W concept art gives me big Postal vibes. I don't mind though. I enjoy it. And here's a link to the Lost Media Wiki article.

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol
#I added a few people that you can randomly run into around town (like at the inn or in the forest or etc) and have very short conversations#with just to kind of flesh out the world a little more in a more natural-ish seeming way. Like nobody in the main cast would really#have much reason to talk about the actual city you're in or anything. Since most of them havent lived there that long anyway.#But if there's a ''city inspector'' that you can run into whilst he's writing up notes examining the local inn. then maybe there could be a#few dialogue options with him where you can ask about things like that. since he would know more about the area as an offical Government#Worker or etc. Optional of course. since I have to be so wary of my natural inclination to lore dump lol and am trying extra hard to make i#all stuff thats easily avoided/skipped. But for the people like ME who deliberately choose to exhaust every possible optional dialogue#option and explore every single inch of the world and try to collect as much information as possible - then there are a few extra places to#do that. Though obviously not all of them just give exposition for like 15 paragraphs blandly. Some you don't really learn anything from#and it's kind of just.. random flavor to make the non-shop map locations more ''lived in'' feeling. Like the random#little girl you can talk to in the park doesn't bizarrely start reading out the wikipedia description of some War that happened 10 years ag#or whatever. she's just complains about school a little and asks if you've tried the nearby ice cream cart treats and etc lol#ANYWAY..#some of the art is so so evil but I'm not going to spend 800 years trying to clean it up and update it. whatever the hell mess I sketched#out in 2018 or whatever is just what I'm keeping lol... it is what it is#One of the many trials of the whole 'briefly work a few months on something and then abandon it almost entirely only to pick up work#on it literally like 4 - 5 yrs later and now you must contend with trying to decipher whatever weird shit you did years ago' experience lol#Also given the population breakdowns of the world in general I think there's an unrealistic amount of jhevona in this lineup since#they're a much rarer species to just see out and about anywhere but.. it IS a global trading center type area. and the game#takes place in the north (the country of Asen. near the coast. for the maybe 2 or less people who actually keep up with my worldbuilding#enough to know where that is lol (the same continent as Navyete (where the avirre'thel live)) and there's a decent concentration#of nothern jhevona only a short ways away so... tee hee..I shall pretend it makes sense and not merely me just wanting#to represent more of that species because I think their lore is interesting lol#I MEAN also realistically there would NOT be a human here because humans are extremely isolated species that don't even know the rest#of the world exists really and human territories are extremely protected from the outside world but... of course it's like.. well we need#at least One of them to be there for the Optional Lore. Same with the Ythrili. But at least those are like.. PLAUSIBLE.. not nonsensically#outlandish. If I had a Verrucalt or something in there THEN that would be truly lore-breaking almost lol#ANYWAY.. rambling that only means anything to me because nobody else knows what I'm even referencing but hbjh#also I think my character designs are so funny in the sense that I really do just love to do the same thing over and over again ghbjh#wow... random asymmetry and belts and arm straps and high collars where the neck is completely covered?? you dont say..how novel

ppl on twitter are going crazy with nanaya. where's the nanaya love on here ...? there's so much potential for her.... i think it's very likely she's a frenzyflame plant like shabriri or hyetta.... ppl are saying the spine could be her baby and yes definitely maybe but it's said it's a spine of someone who failed to become the lord of frenzied flame.... midra maybe still has his spine. maybe he's not the first person she tried to make frenzied.... but also what if she just is his loving wife who misguidedly wanted him to endure!? even tho that only festered the flame!? and what if she had a fucked up frenzied baby. but she's also giving "young gold digger wife who waits for her husband to die so she can get rich" except she's waiting for him to become lord of frenzied flame LOL

Bad time of it, all things considered (Patreon)
#Doodles#SCII#Damned#ZEX#Blood#Just a bit but y'know - Enough#It honestly made me So sad that it took until his canonmates saw it happen that someone /finally/ acknowledged his spontaneous cuts D:#Like I get it it's dark and it's hard to see but his skin just opened up and he made a noise about it! The possible danger!!#And then by that point he's just so used to everyone ignoring it that their concern for him is barely even a factor weh ZEX ;;#Plus it's just a cool effect haha - sudden blood from nothing! Very rich mental movement#At least Max had someone concerned for him about it <3 Not that he could do anything about it but even just the validation of seeing it!#He has enough cuts on him :( Poor tenderized flesh#He gets all crabby from being sore from healing constantly haha :'D Of course he would!#One thing I found very interesting was the scar sidedness :0 Most of the examples in the gallery have his scar and missing eye opposite#But that's not necessarily the case! I actually scoured mid-read and there /are/ a couple instances of matching side!#They're very tiny so I overlooked them upon first viewing hehe ā™Ŗ But they're there! It's very interesting to me!#I like the aesthetics of the opposite - probably because I'm more used to it lol - but I can see the appeal and reasoning for the other way#I do honestly enjoy how much is open to interpretation and allowance uwuā™Ŗ And what's consistent! Like how it's always his right eye :D#That tracks hehe ā™«#Haha his meeting with his delightfully inept counselor - I'm pretty sure I was actually more angry about his supposed injury than he was#He chilled out pretty quickly while I was just - A Scratched Cornea??? The disrespect!!#So happy with his eyebrow expression on that one as well ah <3#It really does make me curious for how the staff is kept there - they don't /seem/ malicious during the day! But they're also unaware#It's interesting where the lines of reality are between everyone :D Very interesting ā™Ŗ#Capping off with another song my playlist is looking quite healthy now hehe#Flagpole Sitta is one of those songs that only comes up for me every half dozen years or so but when it Does - phewph#It is /such/ a ZEX song to me now hehe <3 The flirtiness and exasperation - the defeatism even! So many killer lines#I think my favourite is ''I'm not sick but I'm not well'' ask me to read into that I will I'm gonna I'll do it even if you don't ask me lol#So fun to draw those lapses in control the poor dear ā™„#The digital reconstruction there was a lot of fun as well actually :D I think I nailed it :3 Pulled around from all over the page! Pleased ā™Ŗ
