Guys this is way too funny

“The PUZZLEVISION Saga ruined my generation, I’m Gen Alpha and 13”

Kid, you know what ruined Gen Alpha?

The amount of brain rot majority of kids nowadays look at such as the SK word that I refuse to say

I know we had SKPuzzlebox, but guess what? “Mr. Puzzles’ Lowest Point” was literally an episode to point fingers at kids nowadays with Mr. Puzzles’ full crashout

The PUZZLEVISION Saga is NOT brain rot

It’s a work of art /ref

The stuff Gen Alpha kids watch nowadays is just a show about heads in toilets at war with no plot

The PUZZLEVISION Saga, however, has a whole story to it that left people laughing, crying, and getting intrigued with the amount of artistic ability in it because it had smooth animation, it had voice actors in which the villain put out his entire heart and soul to do those lines, it had TWO KILLER SONGS that left many people like myself binge-listening to them

But most importantly

It had a story

In other words

You may think people should want SMG4 to be deleted

But other people including myself only have three words to say about the PUZZLEVISION Saga

Those three words being

[fawnblooded]

im sorry i bore my teeth. i promise i didnt mean to bite. ill roll belly up, ill lay them bare, ill settle for the scraps.

[flesh-of-a-hare]

yeah i finally got around to watching some fnaf help wanted2 gameplay and yeah it hurt my feelies lol

anyway, bitter bones saga continues,, or this is a prequel. idk i just work here

[bapple117]

I’m joking around the leaky heart valve thing as much as I can but I am legitimately scared shitless and stressed as hell and feeling pretty lonely in all of it and just yeah. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know yet how bad it is or if I’ll need heart surgery or even if I’ll survive the next like 10 years or whatever. It could be minor, it could be awful. I don’t know what to do or how to keep living normally. I don’t know what I did to deserve so many unlucky and difficult things happening to me repeatedly. I try to be a good person and treat other people well but things just seem to repeatedly go wrong for me.

This is the most scared I’ve been in a while. I have to keep a brave face on for everyone else. It’s really hard. I don’t know what to do.

Okay, I don't know how many people here listens to Epic The Musical about Odysseus. (Fantastic songs, can't stop listening to them myself.)

But I'm kind of flabbergasted by the TikTok videos I keep seeing where people are more pissed about Eurylochus opening the bag than Odysseus sacrificing six men???

One was admittedly a really stupid move and Eurylochus should be held accountable even if it was an accident but Odysseus literally picked six people to die without them even knowing. Like, if we're gonna compare situations then Eurylochus' mistake is better matched with Odysseus telling the Cyclops his name (another stupid mistake). Why are people comparing a dumb mistake with literal murder??? And why are people saying Odysseus is the better choice in it?!?!

Like, am I the crazy on here???

[luukka]

Don't know about y'all but Euryloclus really turned out antipathic to me. Someone certainly said all this before, but like, sure he was scared and tired but bro never took responsibility for his actions. Ody asked him to trust him and to not plaint seeds of doubt because OF COURSE this would cost their lives in times like this, and Euryloclus kept breaking his word, first with the bag, then the mutiny then the damn cows, which are BIG mistakes that costed lives and he still has the nerves to be angry at Ody for choosing himself over the one that LITERALLY stabbed him in the back.

You know what, I think Euryloclus stopped trusting Odysseus after Remember them. I don't know why but I'm sure that once we hit the storm saga, that is the moment Euryloclus stopped worrying about Odysseus, stopped believing that Ody was trying all the way he could, even if he tried hard to save as much people as possible all this time. I really hate how Euryloclus just kept pushing, I hate how he thought it was OK to test the honesty of his captain, provoking the death of 548 men for possible money but couldn't bear the idea of six men dead for the sake of the 37 left that could've have a possibility to survive. I hate that Odysseus's last memory of his last crewmates is them, leaded by no one less than his brother-in-law, armed and ready to murder him out of anger and desperation.

I don't know where I wanted to go with this but you get what I mean right ? I'm just very angry with him

[kittycatred]

[ cw : slight angst & brief negative self talk, incase that bothers anyone !!!!! ]

okay cool !! rains gone !!! so now you can go !!!! thats not what im going to help you with.....

you see, red, you are really, more than what meets the eye, aren't you...?

you seem so entergetic, so put together and lively, but ive been watching you for awhile.....

you blamed yourself for the cave incident, for days....actually you thought it was all due to your own selfishness and recklessness of running off

and, when you even came back !! yet again, to your own impulsiveness, you were in another situation yet again you thought it was all your fault, for rushing in without thinking, and it made you become a small, helpless little cat

again, and again, and again, and again situation, after situation, after situation all due to your recklessness, impulsivity, lack of self control-

OKAY !! okay i get it !! is that why your here ?? to belittle me for my insecurities you found out by STALKING me ???

you know im right.... and i know, you want to change, to break free from these patterns don't you want to be able to be more in control of your emotions and thinking ??? dont you want your friends to hear your name, and not think "great, what happened now ??" dont you want to just....change....?

[insanity-apathy]

So uh… that… that monologue.

You know the one. You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about and if you don't, you'll know soon.

I'm not seeing anyone talk about it, but I literally cannot stop listening to it and I need someone to help me.

[a-bottle-of-tyelenol]

my toxic trait as an EPIC stan is that I think ppl who criticize eurylochus are objectively wrong 9 times outta 10 and I get so annoyed by it that I actively block accounts with negative posts abt him bc I’m tired of seeing the same six opinions that leave me questioning if we even listened to the same musical

like peace and love!!! he isn’t real so dislike him if u want but I’m so tired of “his hypocrisy in mutiny is annoying” “he loses credibility when he calls odysseus captain” “I hate him it was all his fault bc he opened the windbag”

no thanks goodbye u missed the point of everything i fear idk

[sweetiebriar]

I really shouldn’t get involved in this debate because, first, it's utterly absurd and immature, and second, it will likely earn me a few enemies and drag me into conflicts, which I despise more than anything… Yet, I can’t stay silent. My anger is boiling over because creators and writers like myself are being bullied by so-called fans with narrow-minded perspectives, forcing us to bow down to politically correct foolishness just to be able to continue our work in peace.

¡Swearwords Alert!

What the fucking, shitty, bloody heck is wrong with these people?! This is a work of fiction—a story set in a fantasy, medieval Slavic world. The rules of the modern, real world do not apply here. Why on earth is representation being demanded in a context where it makes no sense?

¡Swearwords Alert End!

For those who’ve wisely avoided this whole debacle—and I congratulate you, keep doing so in the future if possible, let me fill you in: our dear RC team, along with the author of "The Thunderstorm Saga," Alexander D., were recently pressured (and in some cases harassed) into changing the main character sprites, which originally consisted of various elven races—forest, moon, and dark elves—into human representations (Asian, Caucasian, African, Latin, etc.).

AS: I didn’t get involved in the uproar about Volot’s skin tone in "And The Haze Will Take Us" being a player choice, because frankly, it was ridiculous for a portion of the community to react negatively, as if RC’s decision was some kind of racist move. Let me remind you, we’ve had this kind of choice before, like in "Vying For Versailles" with King Louis, and no one complained. Also, if you weren’t aware, book covers are often altered in their Russian versions. A main character who is Black or Brown in the American/European editions is frequently depicted as white in the Russian versions, except in rare cases where the character’s ethnicity is central to the story, like in "Garden of Eden" or the "Kalis". This change is due to the narrow-mindedness of the Russian community, and RC makes these changes to avoid backlash from its largest player base. Perhaps the decision to change Volot's skin was made with the Russian market in mind, and they decided to keep it consistent for all players. But frankly, I don’t care, and I don’t want to know.

Now, back to the main issue:

I’ve been a writer for most of my life, and I cannot stress this enough: a writer’s vision is theirs and theirs alone. While we might choose to revise certain aspects of our stories or find new ways to tell them, the opinions of readers and fans should never dictate those decisions. We are the creators of the content you enjoy. You read our work because you appreciate our vision. If we start crafting stories the way you want, it ceases to be our vision, and the magic is lost. Instead of venturing into the unknown, the story becomes a mundane reflection of everyday life. People read books to escape reality, not to mirror it.

Frankly, I find the elven races in this story quite representative, if you ask me—certainly more so than in LOTR (And remember the backlash about the Black dwarf queen? How ironic…).

- Forest Elves One have very fair skin, which can be linked to Caucasians. The Forest Elves Two can be more compared to Mediterranean people.

- Moon Elves One & Two, with their warm, brownish skin, can be connected to Hispanic or Latin people.

- Dark Elves, as you might expect, are associated with people of African descent, with group One being darker than group Two.

Sure, not every community is represented here—where are the Asians, the Eastern Europeans, the Arabs, Indians, and Indigenous peoples? There are more than just three skin tones, after all.

But this debate is utterly ridiculous. This is a work of fiction set in a fantasy realm. These characters are elves, not humans, and they don’t need to represent human diversity. The vast majority of players enjoyed the story as it was, and do you know why? Because they chose their main character based on who they found most appealing, not because the character resembled them. Contrary to what some believe, representation isn’t always necessary in fiction. Yes, there were fewer Black and brown-skinned characters in the past due to racism and segregation, but today, in a diverse and cosmopolitan world, young writers incorporate their modern perspectives into their work, and people generally don’t complain about representation anymore. So stop making a fuss over something that was never an issue to begin with. Let writers do their work. Criticising elves for not being "human enough" is not constructive; it’s just nonsense. And if you want to argue with me over this, don’t bother. I refuse to debate anyone over a fictional world, and especially over a game.

Vent art! You can ignore me, I am going through it today sorry 😭

(it’s just under the cut so ppl can scroll past easily there’s no cw)

(You make me feel small)

I am sorry for not posting much siblings au stuff today, i’ve just been drawing a bunch of vent art 😭. I guess I wanted to at least post something, so this is one of the drawings that I can post bc nothing bad is happening in it, it’s just me trying to articulate my feelings.

[yaboirezzy]

I'm back...but (maybe) only for this one moment

Hey, it's Rezzy here, the real one, not some kind of impersonator or troll who's hacked into my account or anything. And I...I don't really know what to say. To be honest, I didn't think that I would ever need to make another post like this again after what happened with the last one...but here we are I guess.

I'm sorry, I genuinely don't know what to type or say right now. I've been hiding and staying away from the internet for a while now but I don't know if I'm okay or safe here anymore. I’ve been dealing with relentless harassment and threats from trolls again, this time it reached a point where stepping away from the internet felt like the only way to protect my and other's peace. I don't want to almost lose everything and everyone again, I don't want to hurt or push everyone around me again like what those trolls made me do before, I just want them to leave for good and never come back to hurt me or any of my friends again, I just want them leave us alone.

But even when I was gone, they didn’t stop their actions. Instead, they turned their attention towards my friends, bombarding them with fake concern, asking them where I was, why I left, if they knew anything about me, and when I would be coming back. Alongside that, I've even seen some false information being shared about me, about my absence, about what really happened.

So allow me clear things up, First: I left because the retuning trolls became too unbearable and I personally needed some time away for myself, not for any of the reasons or claims that's been thrown around. If anyone is claiming that they know the "real reason" but isn’t hearing it from me directly or from any of my online friends, then they’re either misinformed or outright lying. Second: I never wanted my friends to be dragged into this, I just wanted some time away from being online and I hate that my absence gave these trolls another way to stir up drama between my friends.

And that's...pretty much all I could and want to say, I'm really sorry if this explanation is lacking and isn't well structured, but that's because I just don't know what to say. I don't know if can ever fully come back online again or if this just gonna be one last post from me before I return to hiding again, I may try to like and reblog some stuff again for a bit, and if it's finally safe then I'll stay. I hope you can understand this, and I wish you all some nice and safe days ahead, and to any trolls or people with those fake concern or support, please just leave me alone...
