'GAMER' - M.S

Synopsis - "Tired?" "Mhm."

Warnings! - Literally nothing, it's short and sweet

A/N - The edit I saw made me want to write about gamer bf Matt soooo, here you go!

I sigh and place my phone down in front of me, turning to look at Matt again, who's parked at his desk playing some game his chat told him to play.

I sit up in his bed, still out of frame though, and turn fully around to look at him.

I think about it for a second before I stand up and walk to stand next to him.

"Oh, hey babe."

I hum and lift his arm up, carefully sliding into his lap and draping my legs over the arm of the chair and resting my head on his shoulder.

He just goes back to playing the game, although adjusting himself so he can play around me.

He leans his head on mine while he plays, and I start to feel my eye lids get heavy.

"Tired?"

"Mhm." I nod my head and wrap one arm around his torso, holding myself closer to him.

He presses a kiss to the top of my head and goes back to playing, humming quietly as he does so, occasionally talking to the chat, the vibrations from his chest lulling me to sleep.

I read a bad review of a book i disliked (tender is the flesh) but the reviewer was so STUPID in the reasons she disliked the book that it pissed me off enough to leave a comment. Jobless behavior 😭

[elizabethshaw]

hm. thinking thoughts

under the cut for spoiler reasons:

this is literally just me writing stuff up in no real order so there is probably not all that much coherence to it. ah well

loved how unsettling it was having something wrong with the tardis! the tardis (in the tv show at least) is usually the one guaranteed safe place in any given dr who episode and so to have it suddenly a threat like that felt genuinely unnerving

the time window sequence was cool. really liked the fuzzy, there-but-not-quite-there visual effects

i also loved the monologue/prophecy/whatever, built things up very nicely and idk. i just vibed with it. i have more to say but the words are not coming to me right now

"and standing on high is the Mother and Father and Other of them all" i haven't even read lungbarrow but them saying "other" here immediately got my attention lmao

for an episode called "the legend of ruby sunday", it felt like (particularly in the last third of the story), there was remarkably little actual focus on ruby. while i do genuinely like her as a companion, i do feel like she's been one of the biggest casualties of the shift to a shorter series length with less time for "filler" episodes - we simply haven't had the time to get to know her on a deeper level, and i was hoping, given the title, that this story would do something to rectify that a bit. and then it didn't.

saying that, i did appreciate them giving her some more scenes with her mum this episode, i think she has a really nice dynamic with her family and we haven't seen enough of it since the christmas special imo

no trickster :( he got a mention at least but i was hoping he'd be the villain ngl

i have watched pyramids of mars once, four years ago, and barely remember the plot (my main memories of that episode are sarah with a gun ngl), probably going to have to rewatch it before next week. dailymotion you may have to be my saviour once again

not entirely sure how i feel about sutekh as the main villain. this is at least in part because my memories of pyramids of mars are hazy as anything, but i'm just... undecided. to its credit, the episode itself actually did a good job of getting me very excited about the reveal while i was watching, but as an overall thing? i don't know yet. i think i'm going to have to wait until i've watched the finale next week to form a full opinion

i reckon he must have hitched himself onto the tardis around/during "wild blue yonder" though - this is the first time where the tardis starts making The Noises, and is also the first time susan twist turns up, and that can't be a coincidence, especially given that, as previously established, it was likely fourteen's salt trick in this episode that let the toymaker back into the universe

i rewatched "the church on ruby road" earlier this week bc i figured it'd be a good shout and i hadn't watched it since broadcast, and during that i felt like mrs flood was maybe a "retired" companion, possibly a future companion (maybe of a future doctor) that we haven't met yet. after this ep though, i'm not so sure. she seems at least aware of sutekh in some way, and also seems potentially antagonistic, but i'm not sure she's actually directly linked to him. i'm fairly sure as well rtd said at some point she's more of a mystery for later series so. hm. it'll be interesting to see what more we get of her in part two

i can't shake the feeling that they are going to do something with susan further down the line. there have been more mentions of her in this series than in basically the rest of new who put together and i can't help but think that this must be for a reason even if susan twist wasn't her

anyway the real mystery for me: what is the vlinx. i have been thinking about this on and off since december. what is it. how did it get into unit to begin with. i need answers

[triocat]

Ngl, If the Cappies don’t respect her or get angry with her. Then I can’t imagine how they treat her in the mirror world.

(Attempt at lore)

Dark/Mirror Tiff is basically Tiff if she doesn’t have her filler and is in a constant state of anger. She believes herself to be better than everyone else and is unsympathetic towards everyone but Kirby. She doesn’t know when to keep her opinions to herself and this leads to the Mirror Cappies to despise her. This leads to her being the main target of bullying which does involve leaving physical scars like her torn tongue, her hair falling off, the scar on her neck, etc.

[kaleido-write]

Chapter 6 part 9

The initial one got deleted but it was basically fillers and I'm nor critiquing 10 pages who shares nothing again lol that chapter is so badly paced I'd rather watch one piece atp

Basically in the last pages Jaden is sad and embarrassed about her cut and Riley patches her up while we are hinted that Jaden was negliged as a kid for unknown reasons

This is page...84 🧍‍♂️

Yeah wow that's probably the worst set up for a drama I've ever seen , like why would Riley look scared ? Just brush the fucking issue away if you don't want to talk about it ffs

Yeah that's just, cringe , and a very bad joke ? Like sure you hate them but she doesn't even have the decency to treat anyone she doesn't like with respect wich ngl is pathetic. And then she wines when people don't treat her with utmost respect 🧍‍♂️

Yeah , and they just where sad , they didn't attack you , you initiated violence Jaden

Except Jaden didn't deescalate shit , she assaulted them she was the dangerous one there

Yikes i wonder what they should've done when you assaulted their friend uh ? Do nothing ?

If at least it was obviously the transwomen the one to initiate violence then it would be a different story , but to have Jaden be the one to do it and then have it celebrated and seen as the good thing is so weird and disgusting

Yeah , BECAUSE YOU ASSAULTED HER ofc she'd do anything to get out of your grip ??? That's fucking basic knowledge

The rest is mostly Jaden crying feeling like she's a mess and did the bad thing and Riley comforting her its awfully paced and it shouldn't be 98 pages for about 2 hours in leasebound , its bad writing and she doesn't know what she want to tell her audience so she should write the other chapters and stick to it instead of changing details constantly because then yeah the consistency will be fucked up and not make sense

That page is a bonus and is pretty sweet ngl i like how there was time put into how everyone is individually wich is pretty neat

[narhinafan]

This chapter is basically ship war. Sumire questioning salad for hugging boruto as she knew sumire feelings for boruto. More like salad getting scolded to not touch boruto and stop interfering in his decision.

I mean in both manga and anime sumire is different, like in anime sumire is shy over her feelings for boruto like hinata was but in manga she outright told salad about her feeling in ch19 and like she's not shy to catfight for boruto?even boruto sd shows sumire not shying away for liking boruto in front of salad and she takes salad as rival.

Even if bsu gonna be canon, then it's going to be so different than nh and mk pattern and it's really gonna be refreshing seeing sumire being the possesive one in this ship dynamic. Bsu ship keeps getting intresting ngl.

Yeah the anime team really screwed up adapting the manga like serious if that isn't ship bias I don't know what is they out right removed Sumire's confession in the anime for no reason. Its NaruSaku filler all over again.

The anime did good when it came to Sumire's arc in the anime, but its like once they realised there was a ship sailing in the manga they did a 180 towards their attitude with her.

Yeah BoruSumi is both similar, but also new takes from NaruHina and MinaKushi. It has what we love from the other ships and new elements to make it fresh and their own ship.

[honeycreammilkshake]

That analysis about Sukuna and Gojo is SO good. I actually think they are really jealous that we love Sukuna even at his lowest. Also, why are they blaming Gege saying he treated Gojo like a tool? Isn't that what his fans do with him? Like, 90% of the discussion about him is his fight with Sukuna. Like, they NEED that fight, it's like Gojo stops existing without it

I'll tell you what, Sukuna can lose 100 fights that he will still be a character, maybe Gojo can't do that if he basically disappears unless they need to convince themselves Gojo won and how important that fight is. It's amazing how a lot of Sukuna fans don't even want that fight anymore while I saw even gojo stans begging sukuna stans to recognize that fight. Myself? I wish it never happened. Let gojo die to those supposed superior villains (aka didn't kill gojo) gojo stans say, but everytime you say "ok then Gojo should have fought Mahito or Kenjaku, never Sukuna!" They just get triggered and say NO, PLEASE, THE FIGHT WITH SUKUNA SHOULD HAPPEN

See? Now I really hope sukuna comes back and gojo doesn't. I'm sorry, but I have never been THIS tired of a fandom, and I have been in Naruto and other fandoms with shipping wars and everything, but that was never as BAD as this.

Leave Sukuna alone, not my fault he doesn't need Gojo to be a character, sorry

gooooood morning, anon. i'm so glad i woke up to this because i spent a lot of time thinking about that gojo vs sukuna last night.

i have noticed that a lot of people hate that gojo is a "tool" in the manga and yet their own headcanons about him are always that he should have to fight sukuna and win. notice that they always want gojo to win, which is never easy in a fight with sukuna. it's a lot of hard work. but besides that, wanting a character to do only one thing and have it go with only one outcome, that's about as one-dimensional as you can get with that character. they literally only want one thing to come from gojo going into that fight, and that's no better than gege treating him like a tool as they claim.

because even if they want gojo to be this complex and fascinating character (ngl i feel like a lot of his personality traits are a bit like filler - he's just a mix of all the fan favorite and common tropes of other anime mentors with some backstory to stir it all together) him only doing one thing ever (winning) is so boring and doesn't do his character justice at all. and the fans who hate on gege can't really see that.

meanwhile, sukuna is more than capable of being a strong character who can have multiple different outcomes, and not all of them have to be him winning. in fact, some of his best moments are when he has to work harder or reconfigure a different plan. it always make him more complex and interesting.

so that's why sukuna winning made since while gojo winning didn't. because sukuna actually had a plan in motion, he wasn't cheating or being fake because he needed to possess megumi to reach that level of power (he didn't even have all 20 fingers so him making up for the lack of it by possessing megumi was an intelligent move on so many different levels) and his unique cursed techniques and longtime experience made him an inherently better fighter than gojo. now i could care less if their positions were reversed and gojo was the one who had a lot more experience fighting, because it doesn't matter when sukuna actually does his best to learn from others and improve his abilities as he goes along. meanwhile, a lot of fans just want gojo to be powerful and not have to take a lesson from others in order to reach it.

another thing is, gojo was born the strongest and given so much wealth and special treatment. even if the jjk world only wanted to use him as a tool (which, cmon, they do to every sorcerer - the whole point of sorcerers is to serve as tools that restabilize the imbalances of power, even Geto's character understood they were all just cogs) gojo still had a lot of privileges and second chances given to him that not a lot of other characters could afford to have.

and idk if we can really confirm this or not, but sukuna seems to have a totally different experience, one where he was immediately shunned by the normal world and only seen as a force of strength for other sorcerers to test their skills against. i don't think anyone took ending sukuna's reign of terror that seriously, they only wanted to claim the title of being the strongest. not only that, so much about sukuna is still a mystery or very layered, mostly him being contradicting (especially where yuuji is concerned) and not revealing his past.

this turned out to be longer than i thought it would, but yeah... it's been on my mind a lot. gojo's character served a purpose when he died. not only did it show how much of a pure threat sukuna is (even if all that power wasn't inherently his own, it still shows he's good at coming up with plans that counterbalance his other weaknesses) but it also showed us how gojo's character can be seen in an entirely different light: someone who lost. he always thought he could win anything, but him dying showed a different side to him, because he even looked peaceful during death.

and if he comes back, fans don't realize it would mean that afterlife scene with geto would be simply meaningless. they adore stsg so much so i'm actually surprised that they want gojo to come back to life, bc it would mean leaving geto behind. makes no sense to me.

anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me, anon. i hope this day goes well for you!

Its weird that despite the plantars being presented as annes first true friends, they can be rather toxic to her at times

I mean, are we just gonna ignore children of the spores? Hop pop brainwashed his grandkids! For a model boat! But since he’s supposed to be annes healthy friendship, the show just sweeps it under the rug.

And then there’s season 3a, where the plantars reduce anne to their babysitter, dump all of the work getting them back home, and act like sociopaths by goofy off, not caring that all of their friends are in danger. If sasha and marcy did this, it would be seen as toxic, but since its the plantars, its fine.

This is why i vastly prefer the trios relationship. Because at least they’re meant to be toxic, and work through there issues. The plantars just get excused for there bad behavior, simply because the show needs them to be “annes first true friends”

Its been so long for me and Amphibia that I forgot about 'Children Of The Spores' existence, but after looking up the episode to refresh my memory...dear god, is a summary of my feelings. It truly earns a spot on a list I call, 'episodes where the adults act shitty to the kids but its waved away somehow cause the kids misbehaved', because look, are the kids annoying in this episode? Yeah, a little. But uh, to straight up knowingly brainwash them so they do as Hop Pop says just so he can work on a model boat??? What the fuck??? Somehow out-doing Abuela from Cassagrandes here with bad adult figure moments. And don't get me started on Season 3A, that filler filled mess basically stalled for as long as it could and as a result, messed up the Planter's writing and made them into kids in need of babysitting that stress Anne out at times.

I mean, Sasha may at least stand a better chance if she did do some of this shit to Anne, because S3B Anne just, forgives Sasha out of nowhere basically and acts chill with her, but if it was Marcy, yeah she'd be damned, given how Anne and Sasha still talk about her even when going to rescue her. Honestly ngl, I always assumed show went about the Planters being Anne's found family then first true friends, but either way, show definitely ignored they also had issues with how they treated Anne at times.

[tryanmybest]

Based solely on their names, list your characters from favorite to somewhat less favorite

MY OCS?? BASED ON THEIR NAMES??? OK OK

i feel like i should mention that only two of my ocs use their real names sooo it's a lot of aliases or nicknames.

1. Songbird

ngl one of my favorite names ive ever come up with. he's called this bc it was what his (dead) boyfriend used to call him and then when he decided to cut out his own eyes due to being haunted by visions of said boyfriend the scars made the rough shape of a bird. he's embraced the name now and uses his shadow-related abilities to make his own shadow that of a songbird. :)

2. Crook

what can i say? he's a silly goblin that commits crimes. of course he goes by crook.

3. Red

it's a basic name, but i love it. he's the first character that ever got a name and it's not his real name (his real name is at the BOTTOM of this list i hate it) and it's literally just based on the color of his blood lmao. i also like it because it's what everyone calls him just out of instinct. he didn't come up with it, it's just who he is.

4. Ruby

red's sister. her name makes them both sound silly no matter which of his names you refer to him as and i think that's neat.

5. Myrmecobius

i made up fake constellations and then named a big scary bounty hunter after one of them. what more could you want? (bonus points bc his bf (red) loves the stars)

6. Alitta/Indri/Coturnix/Fregata

all of these guys are tied. similar to myr, they're all named after fake constellations and i loved making up the constellations and assigning them meanings that match the character personalities

7. Audrey

the other only character that goes by her real name. it's just a cute name and it suits her! :)

8. Honey

this was a filler name for the longest time and it, unfortunately, stuck. i do really like using pet names as proper names though.

9. Cinnamon

same thing. filler name that unfortunately stuck around. but at least she's friends with honey and they can be Baked Goods together

10. Jayd

red's real name. ew. i hate it. but he came with it and i can't change it

that's all!!! if you ever wanna know anything else about these guys and the show im writing for them, feel free to ask!! i love talking about them :)

[nbnpissed]

Sooooo,, HIIIIII 😁😁 um basically your average OUT OF CHARACTER ahh paintbrush account (yeaaahh I kinda struggle with that 💔) but whateverrrr I'M HEIDI!1!!

LORE + REASONS 4 MAKING THIS ACCOUNT:

OKIE DOKIE basically this started off as just a tiktok rp account n then I kinda just had a funny thought and decided to make a TUMBLR ACCOUNT TOO!! WOAH!!! (under this same username) so yeaaaahh basically ASK BLOG! WOW! Anything you ask most likely will be mixed in with the tiktok asks + posted to the tiktok account JUST A DISCLAIMER 🚨🚨🚨

LORE TIME!!!

Lightbulb convinces Paintbrush to make a t(???) account!! And blah blah filler and BOOM!! Paintbruh finds a baby in the middle of the hotel somehow and just takes er in and yeahhh that's all for now.

Lightbrush canon kinda might be changed later + Paintbrush is kinda DONEEEE rn because ppl kept annoying them by accusing them of making that baby with Lightbulb. L ngl

WARNINGS YEAHHHH

Idk there's gonna be some inappropriate jokes here NOT IN THE WHOLE THING VIVZIEPOP STYLE but yk like once in a while ig (THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR LITERALLLLYYY INAPPROPRIATE ASKS. NOTHING KINKY/FETISH-Y.)

Thats basically it for my yap session bye fellas pls ask things 🔥🔥🔥

[sonic-hot-takes]

@halloween-cats said:

Sonic and The Secret Rings is fucking fantastic you guys are just mean. I think it and Black Knight are some of the best Sonic games ever.

(although for the record I watched a playthrough of those games instead of playing it myself, so I cannot in good conscience defend the gameplay. What I care about is the story, characterization, visual design, and music. And they're damn good at that!)

1) It’s not fair to say something like “this is one of the best Sonic games ever” when you haven’t played the actual game. Story and presentation are important, but will always come second to the core gameplay in a platformer.

2) secret rings OST is mid as hell ngl. Extremely forgettable in a series known for its bangers

3) Here’s why I think Secret Rings is the worst Sonic game:

When rating games in a big franchise like this to determine which one is the best or the worst, I consider two thing: quality and scale.

Quality is self explanatory. How good is the finished product? Is it fun to play, are the mechanics well thought out, is the story good, yadda yadda. This is how most games are analyzed and reviewed.

Scale is a bit trickier. What was the game trying to achieve, and how well did it go about achieving it? What kind of impact did it leave on the series as a whole? Is it a big, 40 hour console game, or just a fun little mobile game to waste time with?

That second one is why I scoff at people saying stuff like “Sonic Labyrinth is the worst Sonic game!” “Sonic Jam on game.com is the worst Sonic game!” “Sonic Schoolhouse is the worst Sonic game!” In isolation, these games certainly don’t hold a candle to 90% of what this series has put out, but at the same time, they were never trying to compete with them. It’s obvious that games like these aren’t trying to be anything more than what they are: low budget side games there to turn an extra buck for Sega. They are filler. They don’t count.

(Granted, there is some gray area as to what “scale” can entail. Games like Chronicles and Free Riders can fall on either side of the argument, but for the purposes of this post, it’s not all that important to get into)

With all that in mind, the worst games in any given franchise are the ones that promise the biggest scale but have the worst quality. They’re not just bad, they’re disappointing.

I’m sure that you’re thinking “by that criteria, 06 is the worst Sonic game.” And yeah, you’re right! But there’s a silver lining to it.

It’s no secret that 06 had a rough development. Like, “it’s a miracle this got out at all” rough. While Sega rushing the game for Christmas was definitely the final nail in the coffin, the two biggest factors in the game’s failure are as follows:

Yuji Naka, the game’s director, leaving halfway through production. In a post Balan society it’s easy to say that this was a good thing, but it’s difficult for any project to bounce back after losing its director, let alone a game of 06’s scale.

The development team splitting in half to make, you guessed it, Secret Rings.

Having played through a decent bit of the Project 06 mod and cross referencing it with vanilla 06 on my 360 (which I’m astonished hasn’t red ringed yet), I’ve realized that Sonic 06 does have some good ideas trapped deep inside its messy, messy code. The level design really isn’t that bad. The mach speed sections are great when you can actually control your jump. The more I play Project 06, the more I think to myself…what if Sonic 06 had more development time? Or better yet, what if Sonic 06 had more developers that weren’t forced to work on another project?

Basically, I blame Secret Rings for a lot of the issues with 06. There’s an argument to be made that that’s not really fair to Secret Rings, and sure, it’s fine if you think that, but I hold to my opinion for a few reasons.

Secret Rings has had virtually no impact on the series otherwise. This applies to Black Knight as well, but Black Knight has better music, marginally better gameplay, and didn’t cause another game to suffer by eating up development resources. At least 06 gave us Silver (even if @spiritsonic is the one who made him good).

Even on its own, Secret Rings is not a good game. Controlling Sonic with the Wii remote feels incredibly awkward and I don’t think any amount of fine tuning would’ve fixed that, especially not for a game of its era. The fact that you’re on rails leads to level design that blurs together in your head, so nothing ever stands out. The missions are all monotonous and tedious, so you rarely ever feel like you’re pushing the story forward through the gameplay, which is essential for a video game with any semblance of plot.

I don’t feel guilty for pinning 06’s failure on Secret Rings. Truly, it can not be overstated how much of a negative impact 06 had on this series—you still get gaming journalists who go “remember when Sonic kissed some real woman?”—and if Secret Rings hadn’t existed, if Sega just held off on releasing something early in the Wii’s lifespan and relied on Sonic Rush to reel in Nintendo gamers, things might have been a whole lot different. Since Secret Rings doesn’t really have a legacy of its own, whenever I look at it, I just think to myself, “they cut Sonic 06’s development team in half for this?”

[narcissa-black-supermacy]

also,,,top 5 writing tips for us mortals pls thank u 🙏

jkahsdkjghgdj you're funny

well. i do like my writing ngl. i don't think it's exceptional or above fandom average but i'm happy with it.

the only thing i do feel like i can brag about is my writing speed and capacity. when i do find the time, i can easily put out 2k words in an hour. i did nanowrimo this past november and i reached 150k (edited!) words in 30 days which was....i was really proud.

so take this more as tips for Writing A Lot rather than Writing Well:

Make. A bloody. Outline. so many people get scared of this word or avoid it because they have "the story in their head" and they severely underestimate just how much it helps. an outline does not have to be clean, mine are usually messy. its just a doc with all the ideas thrown in there, sorted by types and chronological order. when i have time to write, i don't stare at a blank doc. i pull up one of the ideas/drafted scenes there and just write it. often times i take pre-made dialogue lines and just build the scene around it, add thoughts, actions, fillers etc. this way i can do up to 800+ words in a 20mins sprint, which you will NEVER achieve when writing in a blank doc.

Write down notes! you will NOT remember the flow of that dialogue in your head by the time you get home. trust me. write down literally EVERY SINGLE THING that comes to your head. random ideas. raw dialogues. random lines/paragraphs that pop up in your head. when you get home, add them to the outline and use that later when you write.

Don't edit while you write. this one is repeated all the time but i did not really get it until I got a typewriter (I use the FreeWrite Traveler typewriter), so to break down this advice more clearly: 1) do NOT go back to edit typos. TURN OFF spellcheck while you write! it is time consuming and you are going to go over this to edit anyway. 2) do NOT look up synonyms. already used "angry" 7 times? not quite the word you're looking for? just write "angry" and put a * next to it so you can look it up later. don't disturb the flow. 3) feeling stuck? don't have a filler between dialogue lines? feel like something is missing? do NOT get stuck on scenes. put a placeholder like [brief angsty internal monologue about x] and move. on.

Just start writing. again, very basic, but works. i don't feel like writing 90% of the times i start. usually, i start by re-typing the last thing i wrote and then i go from there according to the outline.

best advice i've ever heard that changed it for me is Stop writing like it's a movie. You are writing a book, not a script, use that advantage. So, to elaborate: movies can't TELL us things, they have to SHOW. so they heavily rely on facial expressions and visuals. however, the whole point of writing is that you can describe things with words. you can tell the reader that someone looks hurt. offended. that the look in their eyes is pained. tormented. it's a power that we often hesitate to use bc of that whole "show dont tell" bullshit advice - but that is the whole point of writing. use it to your advantage as much as you want.

GUYS GUESS WHO'S BACK... 'YAY'

so uh idk why i come back on tumblr every couple months and make posts like this but i've basically ruined my account at this point haha perfectionist issues and i'm going to try to be honest with everyone of you guys because. idek at this point

i don't know how everyone's opinion of me is at this point, and it feels like i'm ruining it. i don't know if this is me now, if i kind of put up a front before, but why these posts seem different than the others on my blog is a mystery to me ^^'

maybe i'm just overthinking it, though?

well, my life is pretty shit. i don't really have any friends, except for a couple close ones who can somehow deal with me-- and, yeah. people at my school don't really like me, and i've fucked up a lot recently. this post sounds really depressing. sorry for that.

i don't know, i guess prior to the whole incident (moots, yk what i'm talking about) i always tried to put up a cheerful front. i had an idealized version of myself, and that was koi. and i did act like myself a lot around you guys, because i became comfortable with all of you and i felt accepted. i'm really grateful for what you all have done for me.

so, more about what's going on- basically, i'm just... not happy with myself, i guess. i wish i had more friends.

you know, my goal in life at one point was to be friends with everyone in my grade. that was more than a year ago. i guess that whole hope pretty much died out. but i do still try my very best, and this is turning into a ramble which i'm sorry for but i just want to get everything off of my chest.

i'll probably never use tumblr regularly again- but, who knows, shit changes.

the incident really affected me. after i was told about everything and learned about all of what happened, i was just... i don't know. i was told that it was that day that i began to eat less, act angrier, and all of that shit- and that went on for a couple weeks.

eventually, i tried to forget about it. i still think about every once in a while, though.

well, i'm starting to sound like a pessimist. i miss when i could be koi, the friendly, cheerful, happy person who had a bunch of friends that worried about him and asked if he was feeling okay.

i don't even know what's going on anymore. i feel fine, and then i go through short spikes of depression. or maybe i'm just a person that's sad all the time, but i choose to be ignorant. i'm really sorry that whoever reads this has to hear me vent and all that shit, but i'm just glad that i can say all of my feelings in the hopes that someone will read this.

so, let's talk about what's been going on since i've left- since i really feel like i should add some filler because of my long absensce '- -

well, i got a suit that kind of reminded me of haruchiyo sanzu from tokyo revengers (haha weeb things) and i look pretty hot in it, ngl- and, my family moved back to our house, which got remodeled. i've done a lot of drawing, too.

and, for context of the tokyo revengers comment earlier- i've been hyperfixating on it for so long. i love the series and the characters aaa

also, i started bakuman and black butler, and they're pretty good! i love the plot of bakuman so much!! (the death note team always makes amazing manga) i also got the first book of haikyuu from the library, because i've seen it referenced online so much and i haven't taken the time to check it out yet.

whew. i don't know, i guess saying all this makes me sound more human than just pixels on a screen. (but i'm actually 3 ducks in a trenchcoat) (i'm not funny)

i've had a lot of homework, so i've been pretty busy.

and i have to go eat dinner now, so i'll be leaving- but again, thank you guys for being my friends for so long. and, why are people still following me when my blog is inactive like- ????

The thought doesn't count if you don't fucking care!

So basically, A TikToker was doing an angel tree gift kid and ordered online and I was, in a nicer way, like thank fuck someone used the internet to get all the kid wanted instead of just going 'I couldn't find it so they don't get that item that they specifically needed like a coat' and she replied with basically 'Oh at least they tried, we should just be encouraging ppl to care, its the thought that counts blah blah' NOT ITS NOT, Its fucking not! and I can tell you cos I know! I hated pink as a kid but because I was a girl, I always got the girls stockings when I needed them (I'm from the UK/we never got enough help to get onto custom lists like that) and it was all pink glittery shit and skin care stuff. The year I got a box from my school, ppl that knew me? Still pink girly shit and products I can't use, It ruined my Christmas each fucking year because I hated all that shit and thought about the other girls who didn't get one but would have loved it! Making me more sad and I'd just have to donate almost all my stocking fillers to a different place. We eventually stopped using services like that because we decided it wasn't working at all for us so just went to the food places when we needed help. I just wanted the cheap plastic cars and maybe some glue sticks and my teachers and classmates knew that, even a pink car would have been nice! My favourite child toys were a purple Barbie car and a pink thunderbirds car, you can combo girly with my interests as a kid but no one ever did, I was more excited about having the canned foods and trying new brands I'd never seen before. Also I never got a jumper in a single one? All these American kids getting coats, It was only last year that i had a stocking with a hat and gloves like damm. Anyway-

It's like when ppl said we as a society need to stop getting art kids the cheap shitty art sets that will dry out and snap in a week, that's not a thought that counts, they're gonna have ONE good day then have a break down over how they think they did something wrong to the kit when actually it was just a shitty gift. Like yes, if this is a 4 year old maybe get them that horrible thing to test the waters so you can find out what they like but art kids still get them into their 20s! If your kid is older than 4, they will have a preference in art medium. Get the kid that paints some nice paints, better if you know what type they like but even paint they don't like is still better than that shit. Get the drawing kid, wait for it, pencils! Whoa! So new! Care about your fucking kid. They can always tell.

It is not. The thought. That counts.

Edit: Actually, I'm not done. Angel trees this year have been pissing me off because, okay so this one TikToker picked a little boy asked for Bluey stuff and she got him really cool bluey stuff because it was very clear that he'd like that because the note said that. Her girl? They girl card she picked up? Just said anime. Just fuckin anime! No show, no genre, no manga NOTHING! Just anime! Imagine if Bluey boy just said Dogs or cartoons. Someone could get a fuckin Monster high doll for him, that's what it'd be like for these anime kids! This girl liked unicorns and make up so I'd assume maybe she's into magical girls but i understand why the TikToker chose this nice BNHA book because BNHA is popular and, ngl it was probably the only thing available in store but again thats why online is a thing. No shade to this lady tho, she didn't a good job. But another person got another girl who just said anime and FNAF. So y'all can write FNAF, but not a single anime name? Because she had FNAF, they got her a demon slayer color book, they did check the pages for age appropriate stuff before tho. But like we are just assuming these kids are into the popular, boy fighting stuff when they might not be and it sucks cos imagine getting a gift of an anime you actually hate, like I hate Demon slayer but love FNAF, it is a safe choice and a good one like sge replied to be about and i was like 100% the best guess... But why are we having to guess on these personalized fuckin hand made lists! Bluey kid didn't have that! The gamer kids don't get that! fuck these poor girls I guess, girls never need shit apparently! Take what you get you piss poor kids and be grateful it's something 🤪 fuck off
