Tatts: Ah, so you decided the opposite from what I decided then? That they were worth every waking moment to attempt to kill? Personally I came to the conclusion that they weren't worth my spite nor my ire and that the biggest fuck you to them was to continue living, doing what I want instead of what they wished I would do.

Pierced: We're still... Kinda new to this whole multi dimensional situation. Tatts: So what's your deal? Did you never figure out the whole invader gig was a scam? Just a way to get rid of you or?...

Went to visit @tackyink last week on Sant Jordi and decided to commemorate the occassion with... um.... Something that would no doubt get me murdered by 2/3rds of the people actually in the picture, haha

[kings-highway]

Trick or treat!

knocknocknock! welcome to my door... for you, my friend, a treat! a little ficlet drabble since I know you've been on the arankita train with me recently....

---

Aran's crush on Kita was, objectively, the funniest thing Atsumu or Osamu had ever had the pleasure of witnessing. It was also pretty high on Suna's list, though his interest tended to stray quicker. He was also less interested in tormenting Aran, usually.

Atsumu, however, had snuck up over Aran's shoulder while he was "studying" in the library and found him gazing mindlessly at the most recent instagram post from Kita. "Most recent" is misdirecting, it was about 3 weeks old and Kita's entire page seemed dedicated to family events and farming updates of inane quality. This one, however, had been of Kita and his grandmother, and what seemed like a frankly absurd amount of extended family, taken by one of many cousins and posted as a commemoration of some family event. Kita rarely posted pictures of himself - Aran, then, seemed to have zoomed in on his beaming face, an expression almost never seen outside of the sunburnt farmlands and summer evenings.

Atsumu, of course, takes a big, deep breath, and goes to fucking town.

"Oh. My... God!" he says, making Aran jump and whip around, alarm across his features. "You have a crush on Kita!"

"What? No! No I don't. No. No No. No, I don't. don't be stupid Atsumu, what are you even talkkng about?"

And from then on, it had been the absolute best part of the twins' days. Because Aran was obvious, once you knew what to look for. The way he leapt to help Kita whenever there was even slightly something that was bothering him. The way he looked at him when he was talking, the way he always waiting to walk him home, even if Kita's evening routines took forever. The way he laughed at every single joke he made, the way he bit on his finger when Kita looked away, all geeky fondness and affection. Atsumu, then, struck up a great joy:

When he caught Aran's eyes, he'd make a kissy face behind Kita's back. He'd make hearts with his hands, and on a few braver occassions - when he knew for sure Kita wasn't about to turn around - a couple of... more suggestive handmotions.

Just in case Aran wasn't embarassed enough.

Aran was hopeless, of course, and fell for Atsumu's jabs everytime, frantically pushing him away or brushing him off, hiding his face.

"Kita-san," Osamu says one morning, because although he was less aggressive in his mockery of Aran, he was a little more devious about it. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Kita seems surprised. For a second, Osamu expects to be scolded for personal questions, before Kita seems to decide that its not invasive enough to be a problem and answers with:

"No."

"Anyone you have your eye on?"

"I don't see how this is a relevant conversation."

Over Kita's shoulder, Osamu can see Aran making a slicing motion across his neck in warning. Atsumu makes a motion to egg him on.

"Just chit-chat. You're a handsome guy, you could get any girl you wanted, you know."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah - Hey! Aran, don't you agree? Kita's pretty good-looking, right?"

This makes Kita raise his eyes, having evidently not been aware of the peanut gallery growing behind them. (Suna had shuffled in a couple minutes earlier as well).

Aran is glaring at them. "Ah... uhm.... yeah," he manages to stammer, clearly a little bit caught under the unreadable, watchful attention of Kita. "He... he's... yeah, he..."

"Oh, come on," Atsumu says, patting his back teasingly. "You can do better than that. He's what?"

"He's... very... he's very attractive. Beautiful, even, I'd say - ah-"

And all the watchers had been so swept up in grinning at Aran's fumbling embarassment that they had stopped paying attention to Kita, which is why they're genuinely surprised when they turn around and find him struggling to maintain his robotic calm energy, pale skin blushing not just pink, but damn near red, eyes widened slightly, seeming caught.

It occurs to Atsumu immediately that, although he hsd found Aran's crush hilarious, he would have thought so if Aran has been crushing on anyone at all - he had not, actually stopped to think on whether or not Aran's little crush was reciprocated or even feasible.

And Kita, of course, had always been less obvious with his emotions.

But this-

"Everyone get to practice," Kita barks suddenly, an angry noise as he ducks to hide his face, clearly incredibly uncomfortable outside the realm of his practiced routines and experience.

After all, nothing was quite as unpredictable like romance.

Aran is left staring after Kita as he borderline flees the room to the gym, and the rest of the audience files out as well. Slack-jawed and clearly not having missed the obvious fluster his terribly delivered compliment had induced, Atsumu decides to give Aran just a little peace to sort through this new information. The fact that his crush might actually not be all that one-sided.

(Just for an hour, though, on their break at practice Atsumu will decide that that was enough peace and decide to start cooing a love song at Aran.)

@shiro-luxunder

It's not THAT bad but I also realize it's not as detailed as I thought

I just start eating recyclable shit like i'm going to die tomorrow

in the robot-me universe i had to take a position t a recycling plant in order to sustain my batshit diet, batshit diet being: just straight up plastic. And metal cans! (bonus: i feel like finalized djmm sona would have a tramp stamp commemorating it 💀)

How much plastic do you eat, unknowingly or otherwise? Chances are, a lot more than you should be, but not enough to create an entire house-sized carapace with it. Step 1 of robot puberty is to start EATING for i am a Growing Boy. Tangentially related, I have to go in the mines and start chowing down on precious metals for the exact same reason

At some point my skeleton dissolves

Significantly less scary than it sounds if you would believe me. It happens once my body looks like it completely abandoned my skeletal structure and I didn't notice it was happening until it occurred to me that I didn't have a skeleton anymore.

At some point i just vomit my own organs

Exactly as scary as it sounds. It didn't hurt but it stung my throat. But not all of them! Magical dust can go far but not all the way. Deep down I'm still your lovable flesh boy. Now I'm just full of wires and circuitry and gay shit like that - I still have my stomach, for example. Speaking of which

Eating Weird Shit 3: bacteria jamboree

thank god these were all means to an end because if I were to be organic after all this I think I would have released multiple plagues upon the world. Interestingly, during robot puberty, I became a ruminant, I have not one but multiple of my stomachs, for the flesh is not as weak as you might think, and can be a powerful tool for the machine. Basically I filled my stomachs full of a bunch of bacterias in order to facilitate all the fun things that robots do, like drinking oil and petrol, and also still eat food.

How did I do that? Ya boy was swimming around at the bottom of the mariana trench eating yummy microbes

I had a momentary crisis where I thought all that was left of my organic body was in my hands. And that I should feel shame for it and cover those things up

They aren't. My organic bits are all around my new robotic body. I just really didn't like having naked hands and my brain made shit up and gave me catholic guilt over it

I stopped being able to rotate my eyes and developed a fully rotatable neck like a cyborg owl

self explanatory. I started doing it at preachers on my campus calling everyone an abomination

The weird transitionary period of losing my legs and walking on my arms

Just really weird and awkward for everyone involved

The nightmare of my outer jaws flattening and turning into teethplates. The subsequent learning of semi-swallowing food like a snake.

i have regular jaws somewhere down my throat like a moray eel and I can eat regularly but I have to get food down there first. This was a courtesy on the magic dust on my part because we sat down and I was explained that I had to start swallowing food whole like a snake but I was able to negotiate that I can somewhat keep the same experience with food

actually, just all of my secret mouthparts

it's secret. can't tell you. you have to just find out

Figuring out my LED eyes

Did you know that your thoughts look a lot like AI-generated imagery? Now I do. It took me a long time to hone proper images down on those things

completely unrelated bonus but I got multiple massive grants to be allowed to studied and experimented on multiple occassions which I truly think is the only reason why i'm still here. I still feel like it wasn't enough.

A lovely commission for my wonderful Ko-Fi supporter Manapotioncrafts of her and her friend's DnD characters Lottie and Morris 😍🙌

The characters finally got together officially in the Curse of Strahd campaign they play in, and I was asked to commemorate this occassion! Let's hope Lottie and Morris get to greet several more new sunrises together... 😂🙌⛅💖

Thanks for commissioning me 🥰🙌💐

reposting my infinite is not weak essay because i got anxious and deleted the last one <3 i've been meaning to do this for months, but i'm not exactly the most functional person and i don't often put myself out there. in the process of rewriting it, i also altered the wording and added a few things, as you might notice if you've seen it before; and if you haven't, then welcome to whatever it is i'm doing here!

this is written with all my love, all my frustration, fueled by years worth of listening to a cycle of minsinformation that left permanent damage in the form of skewed perceptions – based in a false claim and the jokes that came with it – and a hesistance on sega's part to even address him save for a few tossed crumbs over the span of the last half a decade. originally i had an elaborate metaphor here, but there was no need for it and i'll cut right to the chase; there has always been good in infinite's character – but not everyone cares to look for it.

it's been six years since the release of sonic forces. which is insane! it's wild to me! as somebody who's been here since before the game even released, i've seen it all. to commemorate the occassion, when i wrote this originally, i thought that i would talk further about infinite's reception; in particular, the Weak thing. i've discussed it before in brief, and you can read that one here; this time though, i'm going to get more into dissecting the actual problem, and debunking arguments that supposedly prove infinite to be objectively weak and pathetic... when canonically, that isn't the case. i'd actually argue the opposite, but at the very least he isn't lacking strength – his skills are average at worst.

the first reason that i see, the one we're all plenty familiar with and the one i brought up previously, is that infinite is weak because he lost to shadow. once. that's it. do i really have to explain why this is stupid? yeah, he did lose, one time. even against a normal opponent, one defeat in comparison to what we can assume, based on his title, many victories, isn't much of an indicator toward being weak. shadow is also the ultimate lifeform, in case anyone has forgotten that detail, and bear in mind that infinite knows shadow to have just slaughtered his entire team – do you really think he would be at his best in that state?

there's also a fuckton of context clues implying that infinite had issues prior to this encounter, specifically inferiority issues. shadow literally told him, after having wiped his whole team out, to never show his pathetic face again. the face with the, you know. the big scar. the blind eye. (shoutout to the person who pointed this out in the tags in the "first part" of this, by the way! based for that)

this argument is so full of holes that it just drives me kind of bonkers how it can be used to claim infinite is weak and stupid. do i think that the scene is without flaw? of course not. if you want to say that the way they handled his breakdown wasn't the greatest, you can, you have every right to your opinion. but that's just it. we're talking about something else. i get it, the "i am not weak" was a memeable line, but it doesn't actually make him weak. people that reduce his reaction to "just" hating shadow because he got his ass beat, people who call it a "temper tantrum", i ... the context is right there. it was never "just" because shadow beat him up. would people say this about anyone else that shadow happens to beat up? that they're irrefutably weak? no. that's stupid. obviously. so why infinite? because it wasn't a strong enough spectacle. let me illustrate this more with another example;

another reason people say that infinite is weak is because sonic didn't need to go super in order to beat him. and... again, this one, too, falls apart pretty easily. sonic has beaten other characters without going super, and this includes shadow. the difference is the when, the how, the context. it's not that infinite is weak, but it was a weak final boss fight. do you get what i mean?

forces, in general, suffered a lot with this problem. it wasn't a problem that was exclusive to infinite. unfortunately, as the new character, he got the most heat. there was a huge amount of hype for him, so when the spectacle fell short, people were pissed. and i get it. but then that issue became, "infinite bad". that issue became "infinite's weak". it has never been that, though. this is why i personally hate weak jokes – because they're rooted in non-issue and misinfo.

a point i saw made once was that the characterisation of sonic and the rest of the cast are part of what made infinite's character hard to take seriously, and i'd agree! infinite actually fits the setting quite well; he has a mysterious, serious presence. he's harsh, he's edgy, but it's cheesy enough that it works in the typical style of the sonic franchise. the problem is, when the other characters aren't taking things seriously, it throws the whole thing off. we're being told this is a hard-hitting, high stakes plot, but how can we see it that way, when they're all just cracking jokes?

as a side-tangent of sorts, you know what's real funny? infinite's backstory, the one thing people use more than anything else to declare his obvious weakness, quite likely wasn't originally going to exist anyway, and he was instead going to be made by eggman. i say "quite likely" as, as i've stated, i don't like misinformation, and sega will probably never confirm this one-hundred percent, but this is something fans – myself included – have discussed a few times.

first, there's the odd dialogue and enviroment in stage 29. tails states outright, as you go through the fortress, where containment/test tubes line the walls in countless numbers, "so this is where eggman built infinite". the tubes do, in fact, appear to have low-res bodies inside them. this is also something they detailed in an early version of the script. infinite's remark on sonic's "data" also fits in with this idea of him being some form of android. prior to release, there was also a cryptic message that, when decoded, referred to infinite as "the fated son of daedalus"; in other words, icarus, who flew too close to the sun; his father being an inventor! that's really dope foreshadowing.

you can argue that tails and amy's commentary is speculation rather than solid fact and that they're mistaken, it's a possibility i definitely consider here, but given how rushed the dlc and prequel comics feel, the fact that there was a statement that big changes were made late into development... yeah. i'll buy it. i often find myself wondering what people would think of infinite had this been his story, whether they would view him differently. also, speaking of the dlc being rushed, there are actually unused lines for episode shadow implying that you would have fought the jackal squad; they were likely just unable to implement it in time. it's a shame, as it would have added to that spectacle factor i mentioned. but hey, gotta push for that holiday release!

what i find really interesting is that you can look at his character through either lense: the former mercenary turned war criminal, or the creation of our ol' doctor, and he still reads well! his behaviour makes sense in whichever context you choose to apply; what he thought he had to become, versus what he was made to be. it's cool and it makes me a bit insane. a lot of people criticise infinite for his one-dimensionality, but in my opinion, like... it's the point. he's meant to feel hollow. because he's masking; or because he wasn't made for feelings, but rather for destruction.

something that seems ironic is that many people attempt to "fix" him by... putting him into a box and inflating a single trait into his entire character and calling it "better writing". now, here's the disclaimer, okay: i'm all for people having fun and being proud of their work! i don't think that we should police what others can create. this is just about the phenomenon of watering a character down or changing them to fit ships and narratives rather than those characters being what shape the direction the story and their relationships take, things like that; which... i mean, i'm not a cop, you can still do these things even if i don't like them! i'm not saying it isn't allowed, but i think that you're kind of missing the point.

he never needed fixing. his story needed refinement. that's different. it's more about exploring what we've been given, looking below the surface; infinite is not just an evil, ruthless tyrant that deserves death nor a traumatised sadboy to be made good by the power of love and friendship – not to me. his trauma and anger are both part of him, and you cannot – or rather shouldn't – reduce him to one thing or another. it does him a major disservice, i think. there are good things there, things you can dissect, you just have to be willing to look.

in choosing to ignore what made him who he is, disregarding the loss of his squad and blatant insecurity unless it's funny, you're purposely looking at him through a faulty lense. bad writing doesn't mean that the intent isn't there. context is so important, and you can't analyse him or critique him with worth unless these things are acknowledged. it's like if you were eating a cake, avoiding the frosting and complaining it's not sweet enough. the frosting is there, not even being withheld from you. it has always been there. you decided not to eat it. sorry i'm making weird analogies again but hopefully this makes sense.

this has gotten long, wow. the point i want to highlight, overall, is that infinite is not nearly as awful as people make him out to be. it was never about his strength, it was about the limits and shortcomings of the narrative, a problem not exclusive to him yet one that has been pinned on him for so many years. i don't want it to sound like i'm saying he is immune to criticism, or that forces is, even though i've criticised forces during the creation of this post (and don't think that i think forces is terrible, either! it's my favourite game and i have lots of things i like about it as well! i've just been drawing attention to these parts to better explain what i want to convey lol); but i do hate how the wrong thing is being criticised.

this issue has been watered down into "infinite weak" when it's way more broad, way more complex than that, and i cannot stand it. it seems like such a trivial matter, like, oh, fandom is being mean about my favourite guy, but it did actual damage and forever altered people's perception of him. i am pissed about it! i'm mad! i don't care if you don't like infinite (because i can just block you as we will not get along!) but... it's about why people don't like him. they don't have to justify it, they can continue hating him, but it always bothered me that the reason is so often not a real problem. yeah.

okay, i think that's it. thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you made it this far, you're gay

November 21, 1999. 25 years ago, Pokémon Gold and Silver versions were released in Japan. While they did not release in the U.S. until nearly a year later, I still wanted to commemorate this occassion for a game that became a defining part of my childhood.

So enjoy this photo dump of my Pokémon Gold, Silver & Crystal/Johto Region collection. If you've got any questions about specific items or just want to chat about it, I'm all ears!

(Check the reblogs to this post, there's more stuff to share but it only lets me do 10 photos at a time.)

Hiiii Tumblr,

So I think I've officially overstayed my welcome to discord's community as I have now been flagged for unsafe content in EVERY PT SERVER I'VE JOINED.

To commemorate this agonizing occassion, I'll be posting several pictures for the next few hours that got me flagged. Enjoy.

Last year, on this day, I came up with an idea. An idea that stuck with me, and changed my life forever. For four years, I have mained them in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And no one ever talks about this pair, until today. Now, what I have brought into the world, one year ago, on October 1, 2022, celebrates its first anniversary. Their love blossomed through the world of Smashy-Bros., they have formed a team whose strength was given to them by their bonds, facing countless foes, persevering through many challenges, even reuniting on several different occassions. And today, to commemorate their first anniversary of being together, here is a Fire Emblem Heroes montage of two of my favorite Fire Emblem characters sharing a bond stronger than steel! Featuring the alts in order of obtained!

omg a part 2 to mr. choi? i stopped hoping sometime in january and wrote a second part in my head where the date went bad and yn came home upset and yeonjun cheered her up w ice cream and they became friends and yeonjun consoled himself that he was okay just being friends. they probably hung out at different occassions too and he started to be nice to her for the first time ever. so THEN she started to like him back and there was a crisis with her avoiding him bc of her newly found feelings and when he eventually confronted her (by knocking on her door to commemorate how it all began <3), she confessed in an angry burst!!! and they they kithed. and i was happy. 🥺❤️

....sorry about all that ahsjsksksanjs i just have a lot of feelings for this jun :( </3

THIS IS SO 😭 ??? I had 2 versions for the part 2 and the second is very close to your imagination so this is sort of freaking me out 😭 Redirecting everybody that wants a part 2 to this ask anon thanks 👍🥲

[hahaalaine]

My midwife keeps trying to get me to come to more birth circles and childbirth classes because my birth story is so boring 😂

Like everyone else had these magical transformations and spiritual revelations. Meanwhile i just stimmed through it.

I went into labor at 530pm the day before, ate dinner, played skyrim, and went to bed. When i got up i called my midwife and got the pool set up in my house. I popped an edible during active labor and at 12:55pm the child was caught by my spouse. Pretty chill all things considered.

I'm hoping with this kid that i get to bake something to commemorate the occassion and have it be something we make every year for their birthday but other than that just chilling.
