Oh my god I am making a masterpost weeble weeble. I am STERLING, I go by SHE/HER, I am 19 and from ENGLAND.

I am utterly obsessed w VAT7K, any variation of Patroclus and Achilles and a huge avid enjoyer of any sort of fandom one may say is 2012 ish. Whahey. I draw.

I use a Wacom Cintiq 16 + Clip Studio Paint Pro.

This is my only main tumblr blog, I do have a side blog but that is purely for my enjoyment alone.

My account is NOT HEAVILY 18+. But. There is content I may post, reblog, say or even indulge in that may tread into that territory as a warning. I don’t tend to Tag anything WITH trigger warnings.

LINKS / TAGS | ─┈ 𖥔’)

My tags begins with ‘stw’, my name, and then whatever content after. Ex, stwart, stwramble. This is the easiest way to navigate my account.

[weeble-wee]

Hnnnng I love finding out my posts got blocked cuz I forgot tumblr doesnt let you use certain tags anymore.

Also love it when half ur links are ded cuz it takes tumblr ten years for a page to have a working link. :))))))))

The whole "useless virgin" thing was funny up until he got his powers. The fact that he barely interacts with other characters unless forced upon by someone else doesn't make him interesting to watch either.

The most egregious moment for me was when he abandoned Matakara and Matakara trying to justify Arajin caring when he sees Arajin and the NG show up.

Like that would have been a perfect moment for Arajin to do some hero shit and Matakara to be like "Aah I knew you were still cool" only for Arajin to go "B-baka this doesn't mean anything. I just figured you'd owe me and stay away from Mahoro-chan". But no the dude just bumbles into situations cuz uhhhh he's the protag so we gotta use him to make the plot progress. Like at least have him want to be stronger. Like Mahoro is only attracted to the toughest guys so Arajin has to become stronger, but all his attempts at getting stronger makes all the gang leaders fall in love and challenge him. Which interrupts his wooing attempts The anime is only 12 eps and we're halfway through; it's perfectly reasonable for people to get mad when the MC of this anime you're 50% invested in hasn't gotten better (and arguably had gotten worse).

why is everyone giving up on arajin as a character? i mean, don't get me wrong, it's totally okay not to like a character, of course, whatever the reason. but why are you saying it's bad writing? we only have 5 episodes, we barely know stuff about him and about his motives, i am pretty sure he will have the much awaited character development later in the story, as it usually happens.

i'll wait and see where the story goes. a lot of us want to see matakara and ara make up and we also want to see arajin finally being nicer to matakara, but this is the moment in the narration when arajin acts the way he acts. we are probably going to see what actually broke them apart, why arajin is so distant and his point of view AFTER the events that took place in the past when they were children.

there's still a lot to unfold. narrations need time to develop.

FLASHBack: Week 80 [First-Class FLASHBack] - Resident Evil: Flash Edition

In this month's First-Class FLASHBack, we're going to look at animations by Joseph "Legendary Frog" Blanchette parodying the Resident Evil Series of video games. Because, as we approach what is the United States' most important national holiday, I can't think of anything more American than a story about a horrific lethal virus and a corporation that puts power and profit foremost without stopping to consider even for a moment the health and well-being of the general populace.   However, I'm severely out of my depth on this one, as I have very little first hand knowledge of the Resident Evil games. I never really watched these Flashes the first time around, so any trivia or historical context is going to be sparse at best this time around. Resident Evil: Flash Edition was the 6th animation Blanchette made, and was uploaded to Newgrounds on 29 September 2002; it was a parody of the famously bad acting in the game's opening cinematic, and took Newgrounds' Daily 2nd Place. One notable easter egg is the fact that one of the newspapers shown at the beginning of the animation has an image from Joseph's Final Fantasy Tribute animation, from the part where Aeris beats up Sephiroth. There's also an appearance by the memory-wiping Neuralizer tool from the Men In Black franchise, and the white house from the Zork series of text adventures and video games (specifically how the house appeared in Zork: Grand Inquisitor).  

While Blanchette would tease a spoof of Resident Evil: Code Veronica at the end of his first Resident Evil animation after the credits, his next Resident Evil Flash would be I Am Resident Evil, posted to Newgrounds on 22 December 2002. This one would earn Legendary Frog the Daily Feature award, and was inspired by the U.S. Army's "Army of One" recruitment ad campaign. The original Flash ended with Alfred Ashford continuing to ramble on over the end credits, only to be told his time is up. When Blanchette converted it to video for his YouTube channel, he cuts it before the credits roll, because that was the point when Alfred's time was up.   Joseph would finally skewer Resident Evil: Code Veronica on 16 July 2005 with Code Veronica: Flash Edition, earning him a spot on Newgrounds' Front Page the next day, as well as Daily 3rd Place, and Weekly 2nd Place awards. Like the game itself, the Flash featured notes laying on desks seemingly in the background, that were actually able to be selected and read. Reading these notes would unlock different outfits for Claire: One based on her look in Resident Evil 2, one modeled on Legendary Frog's OC Kerrigan, and then of course, the obligatory bikini "Summer Outfit".   Blanchette has made some Creator's Commentary for Resident Evil: Flash Edition, and Code Veronica: Flash Edition where he talks a little on his thought processes behind making the Flashes. He also has a playlist of several short comedy bits that were intended to be part of a multi-animator Resident Evil collaboration project that ended up falling through. Finally, to switch gears to another one of our First-Class creators here on FLASHBack, even though I've mentioned it before, I can't do a post about Resident Evil and Flash without bringing up the fact that Jonti "Mr. Weebl" Picking did the CG Animation of The Hive for the first Resident Evil film.   Next week, an antidote to all this grimdark survival horror. Something cute, but short. With Bunnies.

Hetalia is a good example of this. Feels like a lot of new fans just like it as part of a y2k larp or in "omg im so cringe I ships teh yaois" sort of way.

SHANE RANT COMING THROUGH

I very rarely write anything on my tumblr, but today that changes, because yesterday I got 7 hearts with Shane and did all of this events one right after another due to my admittedly meandering path.

(There are spoilers, you were warned)

First Event: You wander up to Shane getting shwasted on the dock in the woods, and in a decidedly uncharacteristic act of charity and friendliness, he offers you a beer, but then you realize, no, he's just paying for you to sit through his sad!drunk ramblings. Starting disguised as a pseudo-intellectual conversation about life and our place in the universe, it quickly becomes a depression reveal, WHICH HE IMMEDIATELY DEFLECTS FROM by commenting on the fact that you chugged out beer, decreeing you a farmer, "after my own heart." He then, following the weeble-wobbling drunken tone of this dialogue, warns you against making it a habit, as you still have a bright future. Shane immediately has to leave, as he has a rumbly tummy, and ghosts.

Why This Annoyed Me: Thanks, dude, did Santa tell you that the only thing that beat out a pony and a will to live on my Christmas list this year was some asshole who will greet any attempt at conversation with some version of "Don't you have a job you should be doing?" until you get to 6 hearts, where he'll start asking why you're still hanging around because HE WAS BEING AN ASSHOLE ON P U R P O S E. That's def someone whose advice I can take seriously.

Second Event: Fucker is found in a pile of bottles in his room by his aunt who only comes in to his room after (it is implied) spending a hot minute trying knocking and having him open the door, which considering the amount of personal space this game usually handwaves for cutscenes, stood out. When you splash him to get him awake, he freaks and gets up, at which point his aunt, clearly nearing the end of her patience, asks what his deal is. It is more than a little worrying that in the little over 3 months since he moved in with Marnie, she has found him in either this state or one like it enough times that she so clearly at a loss for what to do, as Marnie's cutscenes and dialogue suggest that she is too practical a person for her to have just been ignoring it and hoping it'd go away. Shane, faced with his Aunt expressing her concern for him, counters with the classic, "You wouldn't understand," because that's a mature remark from a grown ass man in his late 20s. When Marnie, clearly desperate to try and get through to her nephew asks about his plans and goals, clearly trying to give him something to hold onto, Shane's reaction is so filled with drama that him getting ready to deliver his big line is distracting enough that he doesn't hear Jas walking in the room.

"Plan?" He stares off towards the book on raising chickens laying forgotten at the foot of his bed. "Hopefully I won't be around long enough to need a 'plan'-"

His artfully delivered line is not interrupted by his aunt or by you as he was probably expecting, but by his goddaughter running sobbing out of the room at her godfather's declaration. As Marnie goes running after her niece in an attempt to console her, Shane instead opts to halfheartedly calls out her name and an apology and fall to his knees in a hair-tugging temper tantrum.

Why This Annoyed Me: Homeboy, as someone who is also suicidally depressed, I understand that grabbing on to the lifelines people throw you is hard, and you don't always have the spoons to fix things. That being said, there is a fine line between 'my mental illness absolves me of all wrongdoing' and 'I'm entirely responsible for everything that happens due to my mental illness' and you, Shane, are wayyyyy too drunk to balance. I'd be more sympathetic to your plight if your response to everything that got you down was a vast array of things; drinking yourself to death is not one of them.

Third Scene: Wandering through the woods, you happen upon Shane yet again passed out in a pile of bottles, this time at the top of the cliffs next to the entrance to the cave. Shane, drunk as all hell, apologizes for not having the balls to throw himself off the cliff before you got there. He complains of having a worthless life - "All I do is work, sleep, and eat" - and demands that you give him a reason he shouldn't drunkenly roll off the edge right now. Amongst the options you have are;

There's so much to live for!!!!!!!!

JAS, YOU ASSHOLE

Suicide is a SIN against YOBA-JAYSUS

Hey, man, this isn't really a decision I can make, but I can be here for you.

His responses to these are as follows;

We very obviously disagree on this, as my main hobbies include raising chickens and drinking myself to death, fuck off.

HOLY SHIT, I SOMEHOW FORGOT I HAD A WHOLE GODDAUGHTER, THIS JUST BRINGS TO THE FOREFRONT HOW I AM TOTALLY THE PIECE OF SHIT THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND.

A, that is the worst possible way to convince someone not to kill themselves as if you're at the point where you're literally talking them off a ledge, one can probably safely assume that they give no shits about the scriptures of Yoba-Jesus (Who will be henseforth referred to as Yosus, because I can). B, that is also possibly one of the least comforting ways to try and talk someone off a ledge, as it implies that you care more about Yosus' opinion than about your supposed friend's wellbeing, as well as highlighting that you very obviously didn't read the YoBible very closely. One of Yosus' big things was that you should leave the judging to Yosus and his Dad and concentrate on being nice to people. Guilting people about making Yosus unhappy when they're going through major personal trauma? Seriously uncool. And C, the religious character are very clearly denoted as the ones who file into the shrine at the back of Pierre's. I am notably absent from those four whole people.

Wait...people actually care about my wellbeing? Marnie and Jas being visibly distressed by my drama in no way clued me in to this.

Regardless of what you say, or his opinion, you carry his ass to the hospital, where Harvey thanks you for bringing him in. The good doctor reassures that physically (though extended alcohol abuse has already started fucking him up visibly and that would take work to rectify) Shane is doing very well, and that Harvey expects him to make a full recovery in time. Harvey goes on to comment on the more lasting effect on mental illness and tells you that he is gonna recommend a counselor in a local city for Shane to see.

The next morning, the first thing you are greeted with on your way out the door is Shane, who apologizes for you having to LITERALLY TALKING HIM OFF A CLIFF and informs you that he's going to visit the counselor that Harvey suggested. You have three responses to this;

Well, thank fuck I decided to take the the long way to Krobus' huh?

Hey, maybe now you'll stop being such a fucking dick, amiright?

I'm just happy you're still here.

To which he answers;

RIGHT YOSUS YOHRIST

Wow, yes, thank you, that's why I am currently regretting coming to update you, cause I had been under the impression that was good form for someone you forced to help you through a suicide attempt, but you're a douche, never fucking talking to you again.

...that got heavy real fuckin fast, I was blitzed, it was that bad? Yosus, sorry.

Why This Annoyed Me: This is actually the point where Shane started becoming less two dimensional for me. He does have Turd At The Center Of The Universe Complex, but depression sometimes comes with the feeling that everything's the worst specifically around you and everyone in your immediate vicinity would be immediately better off without you around. That being said, Shane, you live with Jas, she is at most 6, how did you manage to forget her? You are obviously important to her, and she obviously feels comfortable just wandering into your room. Maybe pay her more attention.

I was super pumped after that heart event, because that gave me hope that there was gonna be a nice, happy recovery story. I was further enthused by the next one.

Forth Scene: Shane walks in to the Ranch, and Marnie comments on his good mood, which she immediately ruins by suggesting it's because there's a sale on beer. Shane looks unhappy, but bounces back, telling her he's switched to soda water and he feels a lot better before giving Jas a new pair of play slippers that he can now afford because his entire disposable income isn't going into booze.

My Issues: Marnie, we can understand that he's apparently been pulling this shit for a hot minute, so it's understandable that you're patience is wearing thin, but maybe starting that particular fight with him while he's looking happy and, above all, sober, right after he got out of the hospital for a suicide attempt that alcohol and being drunk played a big role in might not be the best of ideas.

5th Scene: Shane is filming an ad for a Joja Mart competition, and asks you to walk through the back of the scene to make it seem less fake. Clint chugs a bottle of soda because Emily makes him nervous. He turns blue.

Issues: Nonexistent, his character is developing and this is the first cutscene that isn't centered around his addiction and is evidence of him actually trying to start moving on and doing better.

6th Event: You walk into the ranch and Jas takes you to the back, where Shane has a heart to heart with his favorite chicken, Charlie, carrying her around while doting upon his fancy blue chickens.

Issues: FANCY. BLUE. CHICKENS.

Salty, Salty Conclusion

They didn't change a n y of his dialogue as his hearts increase. So, if you talk to him right after he comes to you about going into counseling, he'll tell you that he's going to the bar because there's nothing else to do.

[fics-and-tricks]

If it came out now it would have a niche appeal for it's wacky humor and 2000's anime feel, but it would 100% be cancelled. Complaining about "problematic" media is big rn.
