[prommytheus]

be enthusiastic about things you like! be enthusiastic about the things your friends like! have fun!! be hype!!! your obsession with being “cool” and “subdued” is sucking the life out of all of your friends. stop scowling at other people for the crime of being excited at an event. stop being a buzzkill! live your life

Do you like to feature less known books in your pictures? I like to feature any books I own or check out from the library.

I'm so sad that The Professor from Puppet History died for a second time. At least, the first death by T-Rex was kind of cool. Death by major "L" is heart-wrenching.

Puppet History WAS literally my favorite show. I am now unsubscribed from Watcher. I'm autistic, and I watched PH on repeat obsessively. I have not slept well since the streaming service announcement, because I'm used to putting PH on in the background when I had sleeping issues. I know PH is still free right now, but I got to take steps to move myself away from the show as soon as possible. I essentially have to unhype myself about the new season before it comes out, because I don't have the money to invest. I never had the money to buy merch. I always felt like maybe my hundreds of views contributed financially to the company (because I definitely did watch certain episodes of Puppet History over a hundred times). It's really upsetting to have them indirectly say, "No, You never mattered as a viewer."

Can someone have a parasocial relationship with a puppet? The whole situation brings me very personal pain. I have smart, big-boy opinions about the idiocy of a financial decision the subscription method is, but I don't feel capable of expressing it in my current, hyper-emotional state. Puppet-based sleep deprivation does that.

really actually kind of enjoy how the big lore moments are sort of quiet on a singular stream (or a small group!) instead of the events solely being the lore; i think there would be this hesitation to develop anything solo if the server reinforced this idea that Big Lore could only happen during scheduled events and days. instead the more narrative-progressing moments (take the baghera hybrid experiments revelation or the philza birdnapping for recent example) are very low-key and almost unhyped up— there’s no expectation for that kind of lore necessarily at the time which makes it more rewarding to experience as a viewer. big fan of how they do the events as player bonding time rather than serious narrative progression because it allows all the players (especially the ones who don’t engage in the rp side that much) to participate and get to know each another more; it’s very neat it’s really smart it’s nicely executed

Night Night Metal Man

Tony and I met through Shield when the Avengers were first being formed. I was there from the beginning, I witnessed every scandal, every battle I was by his side. Lady Liberty and Iron Man we were unstoppable. I was there when Pietro died, I held Wanda as she sobbed. I even learned some sign language from Clint during our time undercover. Always by his side, even if it meant betraying my beliefs.

So when someone had to fake the fall for the aftermath of Sokovia that also fell to me. Fury needed a scapegoat. and Tony had too much to lose. So I took the blame and published an official account of what "happened". I lied and said I was reckless and caused most of the damage, though the videos from the battle that was currently all over the media said otherwise. I was the only one who even tried not to leave the city in ruins. I even went back to help rebuild the city, but I didn't even get a thank you. Not from Tony or Fury, not from anybody. So imagine my anger when I am called back from Sokovia to discuss The Sokovia Accords. “ 117 countries want to sign this! 117 Sam and you're just like no it's cool we got it” Rhodey argues while I sit with Steve reading the Accords.

“Tony, you're being uncharacteristically unhyper verbal” Nat voices calmly. “He's already made up his mind” I huff flipping the page. “Boy you know me so well” he rolls his eyes sitting up. “ actually, I’m nursing an electromagnetic headache” he began making himself a cup of coffee. “That's what's going on, it's just pain” I now pause to look up at him. “It's discomfort, who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal! Am I running a bed and breakfast for biker gangs?” reflecting always reflecting, I know him better than most people in this room. I can tell he knows the team is falling apart. He pulls up an image “Oh that's Charles Spencer by the way, he's a great kid, computer, engineering degree 3.6 GPA had a floor-level gig intel plan for the fall. first, you wanna put a few miles on his soul before he parked it behind a desk. See the world, maybe be of service” he pauses and I can see the regret in his eyes. “He didn't want to go to Vagas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do, or Pairs or Amsterdam which sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable houses for the poor. Guess where Sokovia”

That's when everyone else finally understands we didn't just ruin buildings and demolish the place. We killed innocent people in gruesome awful ways. In a way, we are no better than the people we fight. I realized this when I went back to help rebuild. You can rebuild a building but you can't rebuild a life. The people there will never be the same. “There's no decision-making process here, we need to be put in check! Whatever that takes I'm game, if we can’t accept limitations we are boundaryless and no better than the bad guys.” I can see everyone is still torn. Then Steve speaks “Tony, someone dies on your watch you don’t give up” he has a point but so does Tony I fall into deep thought as they continue to debate. “If we sign this we forfeit our right to choose” I voice what everyone else is thinking. Steve nods continuing my point “This panel sends us somewherewe didn't think we should go, or there's somewhere we need to go, and they won't let us. We may not be perfect but the safest hands are still our own” I nod looking at everyone else. “If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later, that's the fact. That won't be pretty” he finishes. “You're saying they'll come for me” Wanda voices flatly. “We would protect you” Vision gives Wanda a soft look.

“Maybe Tony is right, if we have one hand on the wheel we can still steer” Nat reasons. “Arnt you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass a few years ago?” Sam crosses his arms as he makes his point. “We would be puppets” I huff frustrated. “I'm just reading the terrain” I hear Steve’s phone vibrate before he quickly makes his leave. “Look, guys, I'm not gonna sit here and take Steve or Tony's side” I Huff looking up at them. They seem to be confused as to where I'm going with this “I'm done, I quit. I'm tired of being your guy's scapegoat, I'm not your mother. In sick and tired of being the only one trying to hold this team together.” I grew angrier and angrier as I spoke. Nat gives me a sympathetic look along with Wanda “Don't contact me about The Avengers again” I finish as I walk through the door.

———————————————————————

After watching Tony hold Peter as he crumbled into dust. I grew numb, I didn’t care weather I lived or died. Which I guess is a good thing when you’re trapped in the middle of space running out of food and oxygen with no way home. At first Tony was all jokes, trying his best to make things better for others. Classic Tony putting everyone else before himself. I on the other hand locked myself in a small room on the ship and didn’t talk to anyone. Nebula and Tony went to sleep I’d go and check on them. That’s all I did. Till one fateful night I decided I couldn’t avoid Tony forever, it was probably our last night with oxygen so I figured I’d make amends. “Hey Tones” great softly as I struggle my way closer to Tony who looks just about as rough as me. He nods in reply not bothering to look over from the window. “The stars get old after awhile huh?” I ask softly. “Yeah, never thought I’d miss earth” he jokes. “Tony?” I ask looking down at my feet. He looks up at me “yeah?” I take a breath before continuing “are we gonna die tonight?” I ask and he only nods solemnly. “I don’t wanna die alone” I whisper softly it was an unspoken question really. He pats the spot next to him and I take it happily. “I never got to say sorry for what happened after the accords” he mutters and I lean my head on him “your forgiven if you forgive me for switching sides, I’m sorry but I couldn’t sit back and watch” he nods at my words “it okay, I understand, I was never mad” he responds. “I’m getting sleepy now Tony” I whisper my eyes gently closing. A silent tear falls down his cheek “me too” he whisper back. “Night night metal man” this is it, my life is coming to an end. At least I’m not alone and the view is nice besides I’ll be dying in my sleep, I’m getting a peaceful death. There’s a bright light but I don’t have the strength to open my eyes. Tony shakes me gently “hey, wake up- we’re saved wake-” his breath is wheezing and he can barely talk but I don’t have the strength to care I’m so sleepy. I’m barely conscious when I’m carried out the ship. My eyes open briefly looking at Tony as Steve helps him down the stairs. Then I go back to sleep again. The next time my eyes open I’m in the hospital surrounded by machines. Thor is the only other person in the room, he’s sat on a chair a furious look on his face. A nurse rushes in as I rip off the IV and the many other cords I’m hooked up too. She pushed me back down into bed as Thor stood to inform the team I’m awake. “Let me go!” I scream at the nurse. She only shakes her head explaining she’s only here to help, but that doesn’t matter. Nothing matters everyone’s gone, Peter, Sam, Dr Strange, Thanos whipped out half of all living creatures. Why was I lucky? Why not me? “Let me go!” I continue to scream as the nurse places an oxygen mask over my face to help me breathe. I continue to try to fight her off me but my attempts weaken as I give up collapsing against the pillows as Steve walks in the door.

[lotus-corner]

hi can you please make lee 9 and ler 5

Sure thing. Let's call this...

Nine Drank Too Much Red Bull

Lee!Nine Ler!Five

Five was watching Homestar Runner with Four. Nine jumped onto Five without warning nor reason. Four laughed. It caught him by surprise.

"Hi, hi, Fivebro!" Nine cheered.

"Did you drink too much red bull?" Five asked.

"Yeah, bro, Six gave me two-"

"Cans? Only two?"

"Dozen cans."

"Good grief..."

Four laughed.

"Nine, how are you not dead yet?" Five asked.

"I don't know," Nine answered, "Can you tickle me please to get all the sillies out?"

"I don't know, Nine," Five added.

"I can do it!" Four smiled.

"Maybe I could try," Five mentioned.

"Thanks, Five!" Nine gleaned.

She lied on her back as Five figured on their first move. They wiggled their fingers on Nine's soles. Nine giggled lot. Five pondered how Nine can get unhyper. They had a hypothesis.

"Nine, what's your most ticklish spot?" Five asked.

"You're just gonna find out, bro," Nine smiled.

Five sighed and moved to his tummy. Nine laughed louder. Five tried to increase the speed of their movements to make Nine not hyper anymore. As Nine's giggles fulled the area. Five was hopeful that their hypothesis was correct. Then Six sneaked by the three of them. Six opened a can of red bull and poured it into Nine's mouth. Four then pushed Six to the ground.

"You gonna kill them. She is getting tickled and already had 24. What is wrong with you?" Four questioned.

"I am bored," Six replied.

The caffeine was finally wearing off Nine. Five stopped tickling him when realizing he was out of breath.

"If you do this again, Six, I will try my hardest to throw you into the sun," Five threatened.

"That's too strong. Maybe say you're gonna tickle her," Four suggested.

"You know I am not much of a ler," Five commented.

"But it tickled a lot," Nine smiled.

"Maybe, but I just want to watch Homestar Runner," Five claimed.

So, the four of them decided to watch Homestar Runner.

I love how snc went so hard with making trailers for their videos for years and years, and now that everyone else on youtube is making trailers for their videos, they decided to change course and just...show up and throw a video unhyped at everyone at random like a hot potato and then run away- and somehow this still works for them.

The lone fish swimming upstream, indeed.

[hishighnesstheprincess]

that trailer made me so unhype im hoping mufasa crushes sonic at the box office

[foxgirltail]

I don't watch directs, I just learn about what was shown through people getting hype (or unhype) on my dashboard

[smittenskitten]

I am so unhyped today that I might fall asleep and just watch it tomorrow. Even though they are trying to lure me in with a false sense of security, I know what they'll do.

Or I can watch the first 10 episodes and watch episode 12 next week.

Apparently final ep will have a theater viewing on 23 July... What does that mean? People can already fast track ep 12 today (I think). And we should be able to watch it normally next week so why July 23???? So late after it actually aired!!!!! Is this a special episode or something??? I need answers.

[alicelufenia]

musings on FFXVI story based on the demo (tl;dr not feeling so hype anymore)

So yeah obviously it's going to be a well written and competently made story that will make you feel many things. What I'm unhype about is, much like 14's story, it's looking to be very uncritical with the way it portrays women.

The first inkling of it was that interview where YoshiP answered a question about in-universe diversity by falling back on an appeal to "reality" as many Western fantasy authors do when they want to excuse why their fantasy worlds seem to always be populated by white people. So "mature fantasy" for this team already means borrowing some of the uglier sides of Western fantasy uncritically.

So it's no surprise that apparently the "narrative boundaries" demand a story where the very first female character we see uses sex appeal in a military negotiation, then has what I can only describe as "bad guy sex" in the hallway immediately after. Very empowering, much girlboss.

But okay, she's a villain and villain sexy. What about the other women so far?

Well, one's completely helpless and is MIA at the end of the demo (though apparently survives) and the other is the main villain of the first chapter, who tries to seduce the Extremely Based dad but is rebuked because her feminity exists in the story as a weapon, and at the end has both her (set dressing, non-character) hand maidens executed for shock value and to show how irredeemable she is, but in a Evil Noble Woman way.

I swear it is like the game is looking at you the player and giving you permission to shout "YOU BITCH" at the screen. Literally every stream I've watched you can predict when the chat will be full of that down to the second.

Also, no women in the Shields. Gee I wonder why. Will we see the in-universe sexism confronted at any point? Or is it just part of the western fantasy aesthetic? Who can say, time will tell.

But what it's telling me so far is that the writers see feminity in two shades. Weak and Helpless, or Manipulating [insert gendered slur here]. And I mean it when I say it's horribly gendered. Men are badass in a variety of ways--strength of arms, noble blood, royal authority, dying from Cool Explosions or dying on their feet weapons drawn. Women's options for power are so far, being nobles and wielding political power, or having to flee or get cut down unawares by random soldiers (can you tell I hate that scene?)

Even Beneditka is only a badass because she's a Dominant--y'know one of the singularly most powerful individuals in the setting--and throws the most embarrassing tantrum I've ever seen on screen after being defeated, and she is supposed to be a person in a position of command. Like you look me in the eye and tell me you could see ANY of the male characters acting that way, even if they're characterized as horribly unhinged?

So yeah, after an initial spike of excitement I think I'm gonna pass on XVI until much later, and hearing how the story and characters shake out. But I don't have faith in these writers when THIS was their tone setter.

tl;dr - more fantasy sexism, but a mature rating means they can be so much worse with it now. At least it plays well.

[acidmatze]

I made the mistake of hyping myself up mentally that i would go to lidl today even though i dont Need anything. But the Hype is done and my brain is now set on going. It has put energy aside for this task, both physical and mental energy. I cant... Unhype myself now. I HAVE to go. If i would end the day without going i would probably explode from all the pent up energy and also the feeling of not having done a Task. So i will soon take my backpack and walk down and buy some treats for Emilie and also myself so im Done with The Task and the day can continue as normal.

[solidwater05]

Y'know what, fuck it

Unhypers your fixation (this applies to the viewer too)

You made me normal what the fuck

[nyaruhodou]

THE POSES OMG THEYRE SO DYNAMIC
