Couldn't sleep and was bored, and kinda hate Drake so um

Drake's biggest fuckups I've caught on this beef

He loves trying to diss Kendrick for his height. Yk like a toddler would.

He tries to say Kendrick's Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was a bad album. If we're talking critical reviews, it had a Metacritic rating of 85/100, compared to Drake's highest ever rating of 79/100 for Nothing Was The Same. In fact, Kendrick's lowest Metacritic score so far has been 80/100 for Section.80, again over Drake's highest.

...and if we're talking sales or streams, well first, no one ever challenged Drake's sales compared to Kendrick. I think we all know Drake is pretty much unmatched when it comes to that. Second, if sales were a factor to determine quality of music, then holy shit "Despacito" must be an all time magnum opus like nothing anyone ever heard before lol.

Trying to call Kendrick a sellout for doing songs with Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift? Drake calling someone else a sellout? 🤡🤡🤡

The line where he said Kendrick isn't on the big three because SZA, Travis Scott and 21 Savage "got him wiped down". Okay, first, I'm pretty sure this guy thinks big three means just "the three best selling" and uhhh no not quite. And second, and most obvious, SZA? SZA isn't even a rapper, why are you trying to bring her into this? 🙄

The AI to imitate 2Pac's and Snoop's voices. A few points here. First of all, the fucking disrespect to 2Pac, what the fuck. Glad Pac's family threatened him to remove it. Second, Snoop Dogg is alive. You just used his AI voice cause you know damn well he wouldn't be caught dead doing a verse on a Kendrick diss for you. And as a third point, it's just funny you felt like you had to use AI to make a diss track. Ghostwriters weren't enough for this one ig lol.

"Taylor Made Freestyle" was all just him begging on his hands and knees for Kendrick to reply something and give him some attention. Drake took almost a month replying to Kendrick's verse on "Like That". And he's begging for a response to "Push Ups" like a week after it was leaked (and the same day it was even officially released in the first place)

He tried to say the things Kendrick would diss him with. He was mostly right but oh boy did Kendrick do so much more.

Is he a Swiftie too? Cause he wouldn't let her go for "Taylor Made". In his mind, he swears Kendrick wasn't dropping a diss cause he didn't want to interrupt Taylor Swift's album's success, which is just a funny and dumb conclusion to make.

Spends the end of that track just talking, trying to praise Taylor for "managing Kendrick's schedule". 🤡

Drake beginning "Family Matters" with an n word and then going "yeah I said it I know that you mad" really came off sounding like when 12 year olds play online and say the word to seem tough. 😂

"Always rapping like you trying to get the slaves freed". Dang so making songs that actually have substance and meaning means you wanna free slaves, okay.

About these next lines...

Kendrick said he hated the girls you fuck referring to your dumbass being a pedo and hated you trying to hook up with underage girls. Not at any point did he say anything about their color tf.

"I've been with black and white and everything that's in between" okay so all underage girls okay got it. Again that was never the point. 😐

"You the black messiah wifin' up a mixed queen" Drake seriously missed the whole entire fucking point. Kendrick never said he didn't like you for hooking up with white women, what the fuck. And again the messiah thing is just funny.

He mentioned Whitney on "Push Ups", and some gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking he might have just done some wordplay about Whitney Houston being called the same as Kendrick's wife, wasn't clear enough. But these lyrics here are what made it abundantly clear he did want to try to mess with his family. I'm sorry but at this point that's not a rap beef, you intentionally tried to make it personal. Maybe you knew you never had a chance so you thought going there would make it possible to win? As if you didn't have a horrible fucking record already.

"Why you never hold your son and tell him 'say cheese'?" Maybe he doesn't want to expose him too much to the public while he raises him, decent human beings would understand that.

"We could've left the kids out of this, don't blame me" Kendrick said you don't know shit about raising a child based on information that was already abundantly public (see "The Story Of Addidon") and also based on the fact that you, despite having that child, love playing tough on IG and dropping disses using AI begging Kendrick to reply. Trying to get Kendrick's children involved is totally on you, buddy. Kendrick wasn't the one dealing with being exposed with having a child no one knew about and you wouldn't acknowledge.

He loves baselessly claiming that one of Kendrick's children isn't his. Again, baselessly, so literally just gossip lol.

And speaking of baseless stuff, he's really keeps running on his claim that Kendrick has beaten his wife. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THIS. Like at all. In his mind, he probably thinks that since his easily provable bullshit was exposed, he'll try to invent some bs on Kendrick too to make it seem like they're both horrible people. The only piece of shit we know of in this beef is you, Drake.

Not at Kendrick but in a diss aimed at The Weeknd, Drake had to pull out his homophobic card. Disgusting. Fuck, it's so easy to dislike this guy. 🙄

Saying that Kendrick's music only "hitting hard" when Baby Keem writes on it. Is it cause he has writing credits on "N95"? He does ad libs on the song so I'm pretty sure that's why he's listed. Are the ad libs that fire? Lol

"Kendrick just opened his mouth, somebody go hand him a Grammy right now" awww he jealous bout Kendrick's Grammy's lol 🥺

He brought up Kendrick's transgender uncle, and was transphobic to try to diss Kendrick. Just plain ignorant and disgusting as hell. But of course he did. 😑🙄

Tried to blame Kendrick for 2Pac's family threatening legal action for his "Taylor Made Freestyle". Bro what you did was plain disrespectful and it was just bound to happen.

Did he really try to brag about the video leaked of him masturbating? 🤡🤡🤡

And this nonsense right here, was it cause he visited Ghana or something? He's trying to pin Kendrick as a racist? Huh?

...and follows this up with an ignorant, racist, weird ass comment dissing Michael Jackson too for no reason whatsoever. 🤡

Talking to the mirror here lol

Naming his diss track "The Heart part 6" was almost clever. Except for the fact that yk the song is fucking trash.

The first line on this song calls Kendrick "the Pulitzer Prize winner". Yeah pointing out an accolade as amazing as that one at the beginning of a diss towards him will definitely do it. 😀

Having a comment by Dave Free as the cover for the single. Is this his evidence for a kid being his? 😂

Saying you "plotted to give Kendrick information" doesn't even help you much when it's all easily believable based on your background lol.

Denying the child Kendrick is exposing him to have, again, doesn't help your case at all after Adonis.

Goes back to saying Kendrick beat his wife and one of his children is not his, again with no evidence or hint whatsoever, only to go and say he's all about "facts". 🤡

Okay so, be careful everyone, don't leave heart emojis to any child or baby post ever, cause Drake is going to think you're the father.

Why is he even bringing up Kendrick's confessions on "Mother I Sober"? How is bringing up a traumatic potential sexual abuse incident a good way to dodge your own sexual abuse allegations? And that's not even exactly what Kendrick said on the fucking song! It's just disgusting.

And then tries to ridicule Kendrick for being a victim of this. What the fuck is wrong with this mf.

Okay and this one is just cringe. He tried to spin Kendrick's jab on "Not Like Us". B sharp isn't even a thing btw. 😂😂🤡

"I'd never look twice at no teenager" there is literally video of you kissing a teenager on stage, for starters. So you just look at them once before you creep on them how does that work

"Only fucking with Whitney" ah yes the old "I'll fuck your bitch" trope very clever and original Drake

Drake believing some bullshit he saw around about Kendrick using bots to boost his view count is just hilarious. He really thinks Kenny sat down and took some time to actually do that. 😂😂

He thinks people will cancel Kendrick over his baseless battery accusations. 🤡

He ends it with another minute rant like the one he did on "Taylor Made", and starts by saying the beef was "some good exercise". Ngl it is the first time I hear Drake rap at all in a while. So yeah gotta thank Kendrick for getting Drake to actually TRY to do some good music at all. (It's not even good but yk better than whatever trash he was doing before the beef)

"Just let me know when we getting to the facts, everything in my shit is facts" *doubles down on baseless claims of battery and one of Kendrick's children not being his*

[vonniesmoon]

Yeah... Been pissed about this bs too 😐

i updated it due to current happenings

This blurb is based on an anonymous request for a birthday treat for @phoenix-rising-starbird-one Happy birthday, Vonny!

Designated Driver (Bob Floyd x Reader)

contains fluff, mentions of drinking, and Bob shooting his shot

The best thing about the Hard Deck was that Bob could walk there from his place. It gave him a few minutes to himself on the way there and on the way home to clear his head. He loved his friends, he really did, but they could be a handful when they had too much to drink. They liked to get a little rowdy, while he rarely drank alcohol at all. At least they never assumed he would drive them home, and they usually just called for an Uber instead while he walked back along the peaceful streets alone.

But the Hard Deck was closed for an extended refurbishment, and everyone insisted on trying a new bar on the other side of Coronado on Friday night. Bob knew what that meant. One look at his new SUV with the extra row of seats, and they would all be bugging him to drive them home. In fact, it started while he was still at work on Friday afternoon.

"Hey, Baby on Board," Jake called when Bob tried to sneak out of the locker room unnoticed. "You mind giving me a ride to and from the bar tonight?"

"Oh!" Javy chimed in. "Me too."

"I'm like two streets away from Javy," Bradley interjected. "Mind getting me on the way?"

Bob sighed but ultimately shook his head. "No, I don't mind. I'll pick you all up."

Three hours later, he was pulling away from the curb in front of Mickey's apartment with all of his friends in tow. Nat was in the front seat navigating for him while Reuben selected which song he wanted for the ten minute drive, and Bob was already looking forward to dropping them all back off and going home later.

The bar left a lot to be desired, especially compared to the Hard Deck, and he immediately felt out of place. He was about to go sit outside when Nat rubbed his arm and said, "Why don't you go grab that empty bar stool? Next to the cute girl?"

He turned to look where his friend was pointing, and a second later, his mouth was hanging open. "She's beautiful," he whispered, and soon his friend was guiding him in your direction where you were perched on a bar stool, reading a book.

"She looks exactly like your type," Nat mused. "She's drinking a bottle of Coke and reading a novel at a bar."

Bob was busy taking in every inch of your pretty face, and the closer he got, the faster his heart pounded. Without another word, Nat shoved him so he bumped into the empty stool next to yours, and you looked up in surprise.

"Sorry," he muttered as his friend vanished. "I didn't mean to startle you."

He was sure his face was bright red, flushed with embarrassment as you saved your spot with your bookmark and smiled at him. "It's okay."

Bob cleared his throat. "Would you mind if I sit here?"

Your smile grew as you shook your head. "Not at all. Maybe if my friends see me talking to you, they'll get off my back about being antisocial. It's not my fault I prefer books over playing darts."

As he slid into the seat next to yours, he said, "Books are way better than darts. I read that one last month."

"Really?" you asked with excitement as he pointed to the spine. "I love this author."

"Me too," he replied, still in awe over you. Then he decided he really had nothing to lose. "If I would have known the most beautiful woman at the bar was bringing a book with her tonight, I'd have brought one, too."

You made a cute little noise ducked your head away from him, and he hoped he hadn't embarrassed you too much. A few seconds later, you looked up at him with a grin and said, "Well, since you didn't, maybe we can just talk instead?"

"I would love that," Bob promised. "Will you let me buy you another drink?"

"Okay, but just a Coke. I'm the designated driver tonight, and I'm not much of a drinker anyway."

Bob laughed as he waved down the bartender and said, "Two Cokes for the designated drivers, please."

"You, too?" you asked him, your smile bright again.

When he nodded in response, he held out his right hand. "I'm Bob, by the way."

Your fingers glided along his, and you told him your name as you shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Bob. I must admit, the last thing I anticipated was meeting a man with good taste in books tonight."

He laughed softly as the bartender dropped off two cold bottles of Coke. "I would have never guessed that the coolest woman here would let me buy her a drink."

You looked very pleased with yourself, and a beat later, you held your hand out again. "Why don't you just go ahead and give me your phone so I can save my number for you?" Bob scrambled to pull it out of his pocket as you added, "Maybe next time we can ditch our friends and the bar and talk about books somewhere quieter?"

"Absolutely," he said with a smile as you saved the number he already couldn't wait to text later.

[wildwinterlunas]

Just watched a playthrough of Rot in Paradise and holy shit. People have started coming to me for critiques on Australian characters (mainly overwatch), their writing and designs, and that is Australian rep done right!

Starting with the character designs, I have seen variations of all of those outfits on people here, not only that but the designs all communicate where the characters are actually from;

Carmen, McCoy and Vonnie are all from an urban area, likely a city. The characters never change clothes during the game so I'm going to assume these are their swimming clothes. All three of them are actively wearing swimwear covered by things you would typically wear to the beach if you aren't planning to immediately change clothes afterwards. Not only that but they are wearing a lot nicer clothes then June and Ryan, they are clothes specifically bought for swimming. Not only that but you can tell the they are from different cities or at least different parts of the same city, Carmen is more inland, her coat is think and the way it falls communicates that it's not really made from beach safe material, it's also very obvious that her swimmers are underneath her clothes and are not just her outfit. Meanwhile with McCoy and Vonnie they live more costal, they're outfits are made for the beach, McCoy's actively being just his swimmers. Vonnie is a little more complicated but though she is wearing clothes over her swimmers, they aren't the same as Carmen's. Vonnie is wearing loose fitting clothes specifically designed for the beach something that can easily be tied on and off again.

Meanwhile Ryan and June are dressed more rurally. Ryan can't swim and is implied to be afraid of the ocean, which communicates to me that he's from somewhere that is pretty land locked. That and his clothes are something I've seen worn by Aussie farmers (Aka my dad) wear on their days off, that and his tan lines indicate that he's in the sun a lot, possibly in an old button up considering where his tan lines are. Not only that but his drinking habits and taste in beer are very rural Australian coded. While June is dressed more as a person who grew up rural but has moved into a city later in life, she's wearing old looking shorts with a belt on them which signifies that they're not going to be taken off to get in the water, while her top is an actual swimming top and she's wearing a beach top over that, both look in good condition and fairly new. There's also June's dyed hair which is honestly common for people who grew up rurally to do once that move to a city. Also Ryan still living in a more rural area would also explain why his hair does seemed dyed but is a lot more faded and less maintained. In all honesty it wouldn't surprise me if June and Ryan grew together considering the similar dye jobs and the way June greets Ryan at the beginning of the game.

Also THANK YOU studio investigrave for not making all the characters white, it's such a common problem when people are writing Australians or Australia in general that they make everyone white. It feels so gross to me when I see that.

Next up in the language used and holy shit was the dialogue well written, "mate" was used in the correct context, "bloody hell" and "dickhead" where the most used slang and that is fully correct, Ryan bringing an esky (cooler, as everyone else says) full of beer on a vacation is such a relatable experience to me. In general I felt seen by the way that characters talked and acted, which is rare when looking at Australian characters.

Also the story involving the environment as the horror, and the environment explored being the water is so important to me. Australia is dangerous, but when that is explored in media it's usually just the outback. Meanwhile the bush and our oceans are usually never touched on, despite them being just as dangerous. Not only that but they used the theme of isolation without using the outback too, which again, is very rare for me to see.

Anyway this game was great and is going up there as one of my favorite games.

Okay so I saw a gameplay of Rot in Paradise and I must say I have an understanding on what happen towards the ending of the game...It honestly hits pretty hard if you see it from a different angle from.

SO WARNING SINCE THIS CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS OF THE GAME TO PLEASE BE ADVISE TO PLAY THE GAME FIRST/WATCH THE GAMEPLAY OF ROT IN PARADISE BEFORE READING THIS POST AND WHAT THE MESSAGE OF THE ENDINGS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE. ALSO IF YOU DECIDE TO READ THIS WITHOUT WATCHING THE GAMEPLAY/PLAY THE GAME...Well that's your choice can't force you to do what you want. So again spoilers for RIP

Anyways here are my analysis and how the ending is a metaphor about letting go toxic people in your life....

So gonna cut to the chase of the ending, mainly with June talking about her cousin being involved with toxic friends, and how she was there for her.

Now June stated that she wished her cousin left sooner, which is valid but also it's hard to leave the people you know for such a long time.

Now I have been in a toxic friend group before and like June. Which made me feel for her and I've grown to like a few of the characters. (Mainly all of her friends)

June loves and care for her friends deeply which you can tell in the game, but over time they start to change and slowly become aggressive and lash out at her to the point one of them physical harmed her.

Her friends start to dismiss her and her feelings, but she wants to help them. She cares for them and wants to know how to help them but in the end they don't want her help. With the scene of everyone heading towards the ocean drowning shows you can drown yourself with theses people or you can let them go as they drown themselves.

June wanted to save them badly, I do believe Ryan was her friend but it was stated by June that Ryan was a "pushover" and easily "Peer Pressured" now I don't think that was the case if Ryan "drowning" in fact it was the way that June wanted to stay with her friends wanting them to help them, so when she talked with Ryan saying what if they were the weird ones. Which made him rethink his choices and go with the friend group towards the end, he still cared about June and honestly he was a good friend but her words made him rethink his choice which isn't June's fault, in fact I believe she wanted and Ryan wanted to be wrong. They've known Carmen,McCoy, and Vonnie to be their closest friends. (Though that's a theory of mine of why Ryan "drowned")

In both ending if pick to fallow them, your drowning with a toxic friend group which is hard because you love and care about them which is why June doesn't resurface . I've been their before I was friends with a few people and I thought I knew them only for them to lash out at me because I wanted to help.

The whole point of RIP isn't a monster or some Lovecraftian horror, it more about how hard it is to leave/stay with a toxic friend group.

Like I said I was like June, but it's up to the players that decide June's faith.

If you choose to let go of them, which is the good ending, she's mourning her friends, it's hard to lose friends. I cried losing my friends because I love and care about them. Like how June loved and cared for them as well.

It's hard seeing your friends true self and like Ryan said to June. "If what they're doing would cause them to hurt you, then that's not normal."

When Ryan said that that shit hit pretty close to home, because he knows them and they wouldn't hurt either him or June but of course the "vacation" shattered the mask of facade.

Again RIP is a good game it isn't like dead plate, married in red, and so on. But it hits close to home about how hard it is letting go of the people you see as a second family.

But yeah that's my two cents. Again this game hits pretty close to home if people understand what June is going through, I want to help my friends only for them to push away, making me think I was in the word and how they made me believe I was wrong that I was changing, how they didn't understand me or I didn't understand their feelings...Again nonetheless the game is amazing and really heartfelt.

I love June, she is like me and wants to help people but sometimes the people you know and care for sometimes don't want to be helped. It hurts knowing you can't help them and it hard to let go of the people you love but its better then drowning with them, you can mourn them but it's up to them to change for the better or the worst.

YAYYYY IT'S OUT 😭💖💖💖

It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰  Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.

I'm bored so heres a list of underrated, obscure and somewhat forgotten Punch Out characters in my opinion :p (including characters outside of the games)

I never see anyone talk abt the Challenger from the original arcade games + arm wrestling but I kinda get why, theres not a lot too him and Little Mac is just a better protagonist in general. Its kinda neat he did get referenced as a smash bros skin tho.

Piston Hurricane is another one of the first characters from Punch Out and I dont see him get any attention either even tho hes kinda neat :[ (Piston Honda is superior tho hehe)

Considering how big punch out is on its stereotypes, I'm shocked they never brought back Pizza Pasta and turned him into a major Italian or even mafia stereotype but maybe its best they didnt.

More of an honorable and debatable mention but I dont see content based on Kid Quick either. But to be fair, Disco Kid is a revamp of him so I guess I can understand why kid quick doesnt get a lot of content himself.

Moving onto the spinoff game, anyone from Arm Wrestling who isn't "Mask X" or Alice & Ape III are very obscure. No fanart or hcs r anything abt these dudes, not even of the supposedly deleted character found in the files of the game. I feel like a character like Texas Mac could have such a personality, sucks that they'll likely never appear again in any future installments. :/

This one really disappoints me but Bob Charlie (wow i wonder who this character is based off of) barley gets any recognition either. I really fw his character and the few fanarts I've found of him r great but sadly a lot of characters from SNES Punch Out arent as noticed compared to say, anyone featured in Punch Out for the NES or Wii. I've seen someone say he was also apart of being revamped into Disco Kid but i couldnt find any source or evidence behind that besides the two having rhythm quotes.

Masked Muscle is another cool character that I dont see anyone talk abt or ever get referenced after Super Punch Out. I really like his mechanics and i like his luchador design too, but hes on the more underrated side of fan favorites from what I've seen.

Not a whole lot to say other than Mad Clown is just another obscure character from SNES Punch Out. I dont have a whole not to say other than its kind of funny that on the Punch Out wiki in the stereotypes category, he gets listed with clown stereotypes rather than racial ones (mostly.)

Hoy Quarlow is too underrated in my opinion. Motherfucker brings staff into the ring and no one bats an eye, he was THE Aran Ryan before Aran Ryan got revamped into being insane. If we ever get a sequel to Punch Out for the Wii or simply just another game, it would be great to see this prick again.

Finishing the SNES installment, the Bruiser twins dont get talked about a lot either. I've definitely seen some art and takes on them b but their also very obscure leaning. Again, they dont have a whole lot going on for their characters but idk, theyve grown on me since I got into the games.

Any "characters" that never appeared in the games but rather in outside media like the comics or ads are extremely obscure and id argue there's only one actually good character, but I'll get to him at the end.

I have no idea who the blonde guy is on this cover. My only guess for the time could have been Glass Joe but this was for the Super Punch Out arcade game, which he never appeared in. I'd honestly dig to hear some theories or hcs on who this guy is. (Also isn't the guy on the far left supposed to be Dragon Chan? Why does he have a Japanese bandana even tho hes from Hong Kong? Piston Honda didn't exist until 2 years later after this ad so it cant be him either.)

Vonnie and Reg only appeared in one of the Nintendo System Comics, specifically the issue Fox and Hounds. The system comics arent exactly the greatest but I kinda liked these two characters despite them both not having a whole whole lot of personality. In a way I kinda wish there was more content with them, especially of Vonnie. I oddly liked her character and I have a lot of hcs for her :D

Finally, GUSHIKEN THE KANGAROO FROM THE PUNCH OUT MANGA IN THE MORE UNDERRATED YET PEAK CHARACTER IN FICTION. PLEASE NINTENDO DO MORE WITH THIS CHARACTER, PLEASE IM BEGGING. /hj

(This entire thing was made out of boredom and is entirely opinion based, srry if anyone I mentioned isn't actually obscure/underrated)

[mynameismckenziemae]

What the fuck is happening? I scroll down your blog and see anon hate shit.

Good god.

For some people, social media is about the only thing left to bring some joy. I completely understand not wanting to talk politics on SM. We currently have elections here and trust me, all everyone talks about here is politics and the future of the country. Sometimes, social media is the only escape left. Meaning, just because people don’t talk politics here, doesn’t mean they don’t do so in real life.

And I gotta add, social media is not a good place to get news, get educated about politics etc. That’s what libraries, schools, and newspapers/sites are for. Should you learn more about the political system in your country. Yes. But I’m not gonna be upset if you don’t know. In fact, I’d rather you tell me “I don’t know enough about this subject to have an opinion or add to the conversation” than make up shit as you go.

So for the anon who said you sound uneducated, instead of judging people for not knowing and making yourself sound like a complete jackass, maybe share an article, a book title, a website where someone can start to learn. I’m assuming it was the same anon who sent all the other stuff. You preach “help your community”. Then help your online community! You seem to have the time.

Which leads me to the next thing. I can’t stand this guilt tripping shit some anons do. As if it’s a competition. “You struggle and you’re exhausted. Well I struggle and am exhausted too and still manage to do all the one million other things for the movements I’m involved in.”

Oh, so you admit that getting involved in a bunch of stuff outside your regular obligations is exhausting? You want others to suffer like you? It’s not a god damn honor badge. It’s not a competition. People have the right to protect their mental, physical, and emotional well being. People have a right to prioritize their family’s needs. If this means not being actively involved in community events (political or not), then so be it. And how do we know people aren’t doing their part? Not everyone boasts about their accomplishments, the way they help, etc. online. Some people prefer helping quietly.

Also, to suggest to spend lunch breaks on anything other than actually eating lunch and giving your brain a break is god damn evil. Constantly reading, hearing, watching news is not god damn healthy. This mentality of “if you’re not on 24 hours a day and involved with everything that happens around the world and helping all these causes, you’re a bad person” needs to stop. Healthcare workers and most service workers don’t get breaks long enough to eat, let alone call their local reps or whatever else was suggested.

Like some of this shit is so worrying. Some of these anons act like taking a break is a sin. Or someone not talking about politics means they don’t care. Like damn. As if one person spending thirty minutes on Tumblr would bring upon the apocalypse. Not to mention, anon/s, you’re on here, too. Maybe delete the app and do as you preach. Instead of being on here, get on the phone and call your rep.

Anyways,

I hope @mynameismckenziemae is having a good day. 💖

Luv you, girl.

Oh Vonny, this made me cry.

I just woke up and can’t think of anything other to say than thank you ❤️

You are the absolute sweetest friend. Luv ya too.

[cowrkersgrave]

One thing I love about Rot In Paradise is the symbolism/allegory between toxic friendships(?)

Spoilers for the game

Now how when June was only asking some questions and especially the " she won't take him back " thing, and about Ryan especially why she was in the bathtub, Carmie got defensive and yelled at her. June being treated/thought of by McCoy as "naturally" Lazy, Forgetful and messy.

Vinnie dismissing her and being rude.

That part where she tried to save them, and one ending where she gets dragged down and presumably dies(?) or where she goes back to the shore, crying?

It's like a symbolism to me about trying to help those friends, and they don't want help. The more you try to help them, the more they drag you down with them ( symbolic like the one where June dives in to try and save Ryan )

With June saying she doesn't wanna be left behind, and Ryan replied asking if what Vonnie did to June ( being dismissive and rude ) was okay, and then saying they're ( the others ) cutting out and pushing June away seems a lot like a toxic friendship allegory imo.

This just a personal interpretation of the game. I'm still confused about the " she " they were talking about...was it the sea? Or was it something else--

DNI blank blogs.

[vonniesmoon]

For anyone who sees this lol...

What's a music artist or band that hasn't been active for years and you wish they would come back? 🥺♥️

I can think of many but, first two that come to mind for me are From Autumn To Ashes and OutKast 😅

But, who would that be for you? ♥️

I love this, only on Tumblr 😂💖

Tumblr: The one site that can’t figure out what fucking holiday it is on Christmas Eve

I haven't drawn my dryads in a long while. Managed to clean my room this week, so making art seems easier to initiate. I've changed their designs so many time over the years. If you're curious, check my dryad tag, or their names for older art on my blog. I take a lot of inspiration from the Guild Wars Sylvari these days too.

.

Willow the Dryad - She's got four arms, and no right eye. I used to have brands burned onto their bodies to symbolize Vonnie's extreme cruelty. But I think it might be over the top. So I turned the brand into an eyepatch. As for personality she's shy and speaks very little.

.

Duilla the Dryad - The leader of the bunch. She's got the most art, and I've updated her gardening uniform too. These drawings were colored in with pastels I smudged into the paper, since I was trying to find a full-coverage medium I can use on this flimsy paper without resorting to water-based media. Still had to seal it with mod podge, so there's still a bit of buckling. Duilla is an Irish Ash tree, poached from Ireland, and plays with plant biology. She's the first botanist to create a true black rose, which is why Vonnie snatched her from her woodland and shoved her in the palace garden.

.

Malu the Dryad - Malu is originally based off of a goat and a Hawthorne tree. I'm not from Europe or the UK, but I'd LOVE to visit and see a true Hawthorne in person. And to leave a gift for the faeries of course. Malu is Duilla's little helper, and she's generally chatty and sweet. She doesn't talk about how Vonnie poached her though, maybe it's too painful?

just played rot in paradise and while it was fun i didnt really get the story and wanted to know more about what was happening

my thoughts below, spoilers ahead for those who didnt play it yet (play it the story is fun)

at first, i got what the tematic would be once june started to talk about her cousin, who lost their toxic friends and such, i immediately caught up that the same will happen to june, and i think the metaphoric for this game went with that

how carmen became more aggressive towards june, mccoy began to ignore her and vonnie dismiss her. they werent treating her right and they were obviously hurting june, but june loves them so much that she lets them treat her that way

when she found ryan and got to that talk, i think its clear how its meant to be a "if theyre hurting you, you have to let them go, its not good to you to keep hurting yourself this way". i think it also makes sense for why ryan would be an "outcast" as well, i dont know how to explain it but his personality plays kinda to why he wasnt affected

while this is all i got from the story, im still not sure about all of this, mainly because everything happened too quickly. that doesnt make the story less appealing or the game less fun, i just wanted to know more about the mystery behind everything

like, yes, its meant to be a metaphor for broken relationships, who was "she"? where was that place? what exactly "infected" them (if we ignore the metaphor part)? im very curious about that tbh since they werent the only ones there affectes by the ocean, but i dont expect any answers or any lovercraftian creature or anything

meanwhile talking about the things that happened in the island, i kinda love the detail of them eating and drinking shit just so they wont float once theyre deep down in the waters

i really love june and it actually hurt me to see the group treating her so badly out of sudden, shes very nice and care so much about them, its really sad how things turned out that way
