I feel like today, when we are all expressing our love for the moon as she hides the sun, it is the day to remind other internet olds of the spongmonkeys

youtube

#spongmonkeys #we like the moon #(cause it is close to us...)#the old internet was good actually #I still sing this song on the regular #the other day I had Korean order-in and it included soup and I sat down on the couch and realised all I had grabbed were chopsticks #and caught myself immediately explaining to my flatmate that a spoon is very useful for eating soup and a fork is not so good for that #unless it has got many vegetables—and then you might be better off with a chopstick #Youtube

Hey! Now that you’re back I wanted to ask about Resident Lover? I remember you were on the team- but then the game came out and your name wasn’t on the dev list... what happened?

I can’t escape this question can I- and for those of you who messaged me, I did delete them in hopes of avoiding this- but I don’t want rumours to spread so lemme be transparent.

Also pls read this for how I’m handling coming back to this blog: https://www.tumblr.com/donnabenevientosimpingzone/741337986608873472/complex-feelings-and-absolute-pandemonium-about-my

No, I wasn’t kicked off the team, nor was I invited back when I left- and they made the right choice doing that. I was not mentally stable. I didn’t take the project seriously, I had jealousy issues, and didn’t take criticism well- I self destructed badly- blew up and burned that bridge to ashes, not to mention what sorta hurt I caused the team.

It did hurt a lot when I saw the game release. I was so upset, and spent so many weeks thinking about “what if I didn’t fuck up”. But there are no “what ifs” in history, we are meant to go through what we do in order to become the best versions of ourselves. The whole ordeal was part of the last push I needed to finally seek professional help. And the fact it still hurts whenever I see it around means I still care and carry guilt about everything that happened.

I’m practicing exposure therapy to try and heal that gaping wound. RE8 has turned my life completely on its head and I don’t want to abandon it- the best outcome will be the day I can download and play the game and find it within myself to genuinely love it with no more wounds to lick- but for now I’m content with seeing it float around every once in a while on my dash.

Out of respect- I hope none of you will pester the devs about this either. They did something amazing, and I’m so proud of what they’ve accomplished. Out of all of them I really miss MJ. They were the best, most hilarious friend- I always thought they were super attractive- and the whole reason the game was possible. Show them some love- idk message them “you’re cool!” for me or something. Anon ask if you have to. Don’t tell them I’m the one who sent you- I think it’ll be funny to just have a whole buncha people messaging them outta nowhere bahaha

And with that I hope this clears it up and stops people from messaging anymore about it. It’s still a sensitive wound I’m working to heal and I’d like to do it at my own pace<3 I don’t regret the experience, I’m in such a better place now because of it. I would love to make peace with my past self and accept the pain as a part of growing.

Until then enjoy me going back to my usual shenanigans before all the shit hit the fan. I’m very excited to draw more Spider Donna and Beneviento Sisters, I hope y’all enjoy it too<3

somewhere out there is an alternate timeline where toby was correct and people actually did hate spamton. could you imagine that. i have to imagine we wouldn't have gotten the spamton sweepstakes in that case which is crazy to think about given how much lore that gave us-

#puppy rambles #deltarune #spamton #my favorite part of the spamton sweepstakes is the part of the q&a where spamton implied he and jevil are divorced #are all the secret bosses in a polycule you think. we need to add to this deranged relationship #diversity win! all the people who were driven insane by being told their world is just a game are in a polyamorous relationship <3 #i like to think gaster made a discord for all of them. just like ''hey. sorry for telling you your world's fake. here's a discord. good by'#i don't even care about the secret bosses super much but they still amuse me greatly. even if there's only two of them rn-#spamton is so hilarious. idk why everyone is so obsessed with him but it makes him even funnier to me #also his text in brackets is fun to write. it's also hard to write but you can do so much with it #since it's taken from various places on the internet you can just reference memes #... i mean the one problem is that it'd probably have to be memes from the time period deltarune's in #so like. early 2000's or 2010's #but the valentines don't regard that and reference more recent memes so who knows really #maybe deltarune's actually meant to be in modern times. i mean you could fully convince me #that noelle just likes old internet-style websites and stuff dfskljfdsdfjksfkjlsfkj-#(i mean some of the meme references are up to interpretation)#(but the two definite ones are the war thunder forums leaking military documents and also the hotel mario intro)#(and at the very least the former is a newer thing)#(there's also seemingly references to the ''let me in'' meme and the foam shower images from the april fool's newsletter last year)#(idk where the fuck else ''insulating foam'' would be taken from-)#i hope spamton just randomly contributes to conversations sometimes if you have the dealmaker equipped #i logically doubt it but it'd be extremely hilarious #i'm now imagining equipping the dealmaker to noelle. who was not there for either spamton encounter #''um. kris why's there a voice in my head telling me to be a big shot?'' ''don't worry about it''#alternatively if you just get the dealmaker from the hole in castle town cuz you have another file with it #... can you do that in chapter 2 files. if so then can you technically have the dealmaker while not having met spamton-#''player why is there a voice in my head telling me to be a big shot'' ''don't worry about it''#''i'm sparing you from having an existential crisis later-''

Mad respect to Terry for never looking at tabloids but it’s still really hard to believe he hasn’t heard jack shit about what happened to Ken when he has a phone

#I guess he’s the type that never uses any social apps or the internet and just uses it to text friends #even funnier that he has a phone and is still using physical maps to find his way around lmao #he’s an old head alright #you’d think he at least saw it on tv at a bar somewhere #I still wanna know who told Ryu #maybe Terry actually does know and was playing dumb #because Ken feels like everyone’s judging him and he doesn’t want pity #it would make that bankrupt line waaaay more savage though good lord #Terry went out of his way to go visit Ryu maybe he was looking for ken too #Ken masters #Terry bogard

i love how linked universe is one of the few video game fandoms i'm in where i've actually played some of the games

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #medli talks #i don't get to play video games very often - even though i enjoy them #this is bc 1. my laptop is old and slow #2. i don't have a steam account/i really don't want to spend money on video games (not that some dont deserve it - i just dont get money #very often)#3. it's a bit of a gray area if im allowed to get games and play them without permission in my current living situation and i dont really #want to mess with that #so yeah! normally i get interested in a media through animatics/hearing about it a lot and giving in/some creator i watch plays it #and then i scour the internet for fanfics (and art/animatics/lets plays) until i have a good enough grasp on the parts im interested in #sorry for the ramble out of nowhere???#actually no im not sorry i can talk about things i like on my blog skdjfhskdjfh

one thing about lorillee and her taste in media She loves messy family drama where everybody kind of sucks more than life itself

#^finished rewatching gf. good show #honestly top ten most fun things about going back to rewatch shows you havent seen in forever is like #having bits and pieces of things you remember but because i watched shows on cable it was like Well you catch whatever episode is playing #anyways pretty predictably my favorite character is stan #but i would say my other two favorites are mabel and ford #actually sickening how many people hated mabel like we actually need to blow up the whole stupid internet #its truly incredible the absolutely vile amount of hatred levied at teenage girls like i say god forbid women do anything #relatively frequently as like a joke but seriously with teenage girls its like actually serious #BUT WHATEVER.............. NOT LIKE I CARE. OR ANYTHING #also its actually sooooooo so important to me how much ford actually kind of deeply sucks #like i wont give my whole spiel in the tags but YOU HAVE PROBLEMS ........ love you forever though old man hashtag <3

ok based on what im seeing from cohost it actually seems like the best alternative if you actually wanna be able to make whatever kinda posts you want. so like for my purposes it HYPOTHETICALLY works best. its also pretty similar to tumblr in terms of layout though im not a huge fan of the design of the site? hopefully i can customize it more though- theres a waiting period of about a day or two before i can really post or do anything so i really cant say 100% if im on board

but if tumblr went down i might try to use cohost for my oc stuff, and honestly i would like it if enough ppl used it so that i could just stay on there, but if i have to use twitter to keep in touch w ppl so be it. i really hate how public twitter feels though, i like it better on smaller sites like here and, well, hypothetically cohost, where it doesnt feel like i could be subject to the public eye at any point.

so yeah ill tell you all how good or bad it is once the waiting period is over and hopefully if its good enough for me and maybe some of you we can make accs to move to, if the time ever comes. but for now im happy with my stuff here and i hope i can keep it here. if you already have one my username there is the same, tho obvs its empty. anyway im going to watch k on

#also based on the posts im seeing theyre formatted like tumblr reblogs #which is good bc i kind of hate that the twitter retweet system has like #the reply to the post first #backwards conversation.....#and then you cant add passed that! why!#absolutely reblogs are a better system #comments are a bit weird tho bc they take you to another page. and theyre formatted like old tumblr reblog chains. or reddit reply chains #but not terrible #in a way the reply chain thing for comments is helpful bc you can follow convos #its the taking you to another page part that i can see getting annoying esp if you have slow internet #it says SOMETHING abt asks. i hope it has askboxes thats one of the best things abt tumblr #oh there is! theres actual askboxes! yay!#even better for oc reasons hehe #i guess my biggest concern really is just that its so new so its hard to see it as something like #as reliable as twitter or insta #so ill probably also use one of those too at the very least to keep in contact

#this hbomb video dropping the same week i read a fic that had a bit SUSPICIOUSLY CLOSE to one of my old clemvi comics :)#dialogue halfheartedly edited and still in the exact same order of delivery. too similar to be a coincidence of ideas #felt ... not good.. reading it :(#compared to me looking forward to finally reading a fic that the writer came to me and asked if they could adapt some of my ideas for :)#just goes to show the difference that literally just asking can make #im not gonna say what fic it is im just talking on my blog ok but the timing makes me :) i feel a little better now #whats funny is that i wrote the dialogue the way i did to condense the idea down into a 2 page comic. you couldve expanded on it...#like just ask!!! im not posting on the internet just to scream into the void ya know like i actually like sharing and talking about stuff #it speaks

#i would sent a picture but internet safety & anxiety #also my phones in the other room and i don't want anyone (my family) to see me in my brilliant dr who cosplay heheheeeeeeeeeeeEEEEE #wonder if i could borrow my dads old glasses lol he probably threw them out tho tragic #the coat goes so hard though it's the right length & actualy 60s vintage made in nz too #it doesn't have a long vent at the back or a breast pocket but other than that it's PERFECTTTTTT #dr who #david tennant #this fucks so hard omg #i kinda want to like. go into town wearing this or something but. what if i see people i know #too embarrasing #like half an hour ago i was crying over s3e8 but WE'RE SO BACKK #jk i'm still distraught over that episode like. i thought the Final Fifteen gomens was good acting #the emotional distress on his face actually undid me #aavvvajasjnakjns david tennanttttttttttt in yuor wallsssssssss

there is nothing in this world that frightens me like forums do

#no matter how many old ppl get nostalgic for them whenever i am forced into diving in they r always the worst places #even just sims content #actually esp for sims content #or any gaming content/technology/bodily help whihc is almost always how i get there #i found a sc frm when i was like 13 on a forum about how 2 cut out ur ingrown toenails whihc is somehow the most normal one out of them #despite the fact it is still so confusing n the ppl r consistently awful #and there r so many flashy gif like. signatures(?) ppl say the internet now is too stimulating but homie. wh. what was going on back then #i remember them from when i was a kid even. there were always so many doctor who sparkles #but man even like. mpa was always wild ride whenever id go on it as a kid #&& thats not including the obvious ones that were made to be awful that im not even gonna name because i fear them BJHAJ #these r just. ones that r meant to be good #but they r so very not
