#went on a weird tangent there sorry

[toxetta]

thats fair, i think i could say that as well. The internet certainly makes my life feel so much better… i don’t understand people who say it ruins mental health. ( i mean yeah it does but it makes my dopamine receptors go yay!)

if i could, i would just stay in my room forever with my phone. I think that would be a happy life. Who needs school, or skills, or friends? I have the internet!

my parents still make me go to school though and real life is going to force me to get a job sooner or later… my perfect future has been ruined >-<

— 🔒🍧

damn, we're in the exact same boat then... rn i'm banking on a revolution or society collapsing or smth so i don't have to work to live and can doomscroll and bedrot for the rest of eternity /hj

i think life is about being happy not productive, so if being online all day makes you happiest you should be allowed that ^_^

help me find the original creator of a gif??

hey ya'll so for like awhile now i've been wondering who originally made the classic pikachu caramelldansen clip (also known as pikadance??)

wayback machine isn't really giving me any luck nor is reverse image searching. at most i can find youtube and nicovideo (2008) uploads of it, but none that say "i'm the original creator" or who the original is

its not that big of a deal, but i've known this gif since i was like 13 at least (i'm 25 now yeesh) and have never known who made it and honestly just really want to know

the full vid (or perhaps two videos by the same artist mashed together??) has also been posted on youtube (2009) with "the pikachu song" which is just butterfly by smile.dk but with varying pikas and pikachus for lyrics

that itself (the pikachu butterfly remix) i'm having trouble finding the source of as well. seems like its source may be in ddr or step mania as that what seems to come up and i can find a chart for it from step mania on youtube (2010) by searching "step mania butterfly pikachu remix", but idk anything about step mania so idk if that's modded or not or if its coming up cus butterfly is a song in those games

anyways there are other clips in the pikachu song as well. ones from the anime and an ashchu/pikachu paffendorf meme (omg paffendorf) which i can not find the source of either (has to be from at least 2008 or so tho since it has shaymin and lucario in it), but i'm talking about the bit that starts at 3:23. seems to be by the same artist as the og gif i'm talking about and perhaps stems from smash bros a bit since one of the pikachus has an alternate costume from it on

sorry hang on this is a very niche realisation but soap and gaz could've grown up watching the basil brush show and i don't know how i feel about this

[winterwrites23]

I /am/ anticipating when future England and co. finally figure out that North is in the past! My guess would be traveling back in time to get him. And, I imagine that some confusion/mistaken identity would happen? Also, if the future co. somehow met their past selves? Confusion and chaos would abound! And I would love to see how it would be resolved! :)

OMG I'm as excited as you are for the moment of Present bros realizing where and when North is. I know when it happens, but I haven't written that scene yet and ksjhfjashdfh I can't WAIT to get there. Like, the dawning realization, the angst, the worry, the hope, it's *chef kiss*.

A thing I still struggle with when it comes to time travel is the meeting your past/future self trope. On one hand, it would be amazing and chaotic to see the bros meeting each other. But on the other hand, I really want to keep the logic that there can't be two you's at the same time. I feel it breaks the immersion or something.

Like in Outlander, when Claire meets Captain Randall for the first time, she thinks it's her husband Frank from the present, but it's actually Frank's descendant (the husband and captain are played by the same actor btw). And even though the captain is a total monster, like the worst of the worst, she still makes sure to let him live long enough until his son is born, so the bloodline continues up to Frank's birth.

I like the logic of that kind of time travel. It's similar to the one seen in the third movie of Harry Potter. You can't interact with your past/future self, but you can change things indirectly because it already happened. That's why I chose North to be the guinea pig of my story instead of an older nation, there's no risk of meeting his past self. He's just a wee baby lol

So would the bros ever meet in person? Not directly, that's for sure. At least, that's not the plan at the moment, but who knows, maybe I'll find a way to let them see a glimpse if it works in the story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am gonna give you an off topic question.

Where is the nearest airport in Florida

i am but a humble aussie who has never travelled abroad. i have NO clue where any airports in florida are and the only way i **MIGHT** be able to identify the state is because it kind of looks like italy???

[desktopmermaid]

I love graffiti so much like I love looking at the different styles and the familiar artists and going off island and seeing even MORE styles cos when the trains pass by you can see tags from across the states on the cargo cars. Actually trains and graffiti are yuri btw

i really love your lbfad posts, You really Get the characters. I'm so fond of the mortal arc in particular because it shows the characters being able to goof off and have some silly fun. It's wild but I once saw someone get through the entire mortal arc of the show and somehow come to the conclusion dfqc is just awful and abusive? Truly bizzare takes on the wider internet.

Aw, I'm glad you enjoy my posts- I appreciate knowing 💗 but yeah the wider internet can be Very interesting.... I think one of the first things I saw outside tumblr about the show was a decent review that I was enjoying reading up until the point when the author just started in on how terrible and annoying Xiao Lanhua was and how she only watched the show in spite of her and I was just ??????? like at the end of the day we are all entitled to our own opinions and feelings but there's a lot of opinions and feelings I do not agree with <3 to put it nicely <3

You know as a kid, there was such a unique thrill in finding fandom spaces. As far as I was aware, my brother and I were the only people who had ever played the Devil May Cry games or watched the anime.

Imagine my disappointment when I discovered FanFic.net and tried to roleplay with the people in the community during the early 2010s.

been rotating a fish scenario for a few months every time i get sick i come back to it and i havent visited it this week and i realized it s because i just enacted that shit irl but without the gay shit

[beepmon]

i really hate how i see ken get woobified down a lot by the fandom and even in the show just bc oh no he was just processed he’s actually just a sweet bean capable of no harm and i just don’t think that’s true like the dark seed mostly just makes you the worst version of yourself and in a more meta pov it’s about how his grief and inferiority complex let him harbor a really toxic mindset bc he felt isolated and how even the kindest people can become abusers and that a lot of his redemption arc could’ve been handled a bit better of him actually making more amends rather than wormon and daisuke instantly forgiving him. how do you deradicalize yourself? how do you reconnect to your inner kindness after the world turned you cruel?

that’s why i like ioris interaction with ken a lot bc iori is the character that makes ken take a hard look at himself but in a constructive way. it’s not the version of himself that wanted to die after looking at his crimes but the version of himself that is being held accountable by the character that cares most about justice and authenticity.

I always felt that Regulus could be ok with a halfblood provided they meet one criteria:

- The paternal line was from an old and prominent pureblood family.

I also feel Regulus is one of those people who really need to “learn the hard way.” Like have his privilege taken away and he witnesses firsthand halfblood and muggleborn hardships that might hit him on a personal level, like they remind him of something or someone dear in his past (or himself).

And friendship through allied combat and a display of powerful magic from a halfblood would also help I think lol. If Regulus goes through some shit and is introduced to someone who shares some key traits, but is a halfblood, it could help

I can see pureblood ancestry making it easier for Regulus to accept a half-blood begrudgingly, perhaps. I don't think he'd be seeking someone like that out, but he might be able to make peace with it if it came out that their ancestry was not as pure as advertised but they were still part of an old family.

After reading this ask, I had this idea floating in my head of a half-blood who was from an old wizarding line and was a parselmouth, and then I realized that's just Voldemort sooooooo...I don't think Regulus is unlearning any biases through his relationship with Voldemort. Not directly at any rate.

It is interesting though. I wonder if Regulus knew about Voldemort's parentage. It doesn't seem like it's a big secret. BCJ certainly knows about it, he and Voldemort have apparently bonded over their daddy issues. Voldemort summons all of his Death Eaters to his father's grave in GoF. He's not really hiding the fact that he's half-blood. So did Regulus know? How did he feel about it?

Voldemort does check the box of allied combat and a display of powerful magic from a half-blood…

listen i dont like fëanor but i can't deny that getting so mad you literally burst into flames and crumble away into ash is kinda fucking relatable

Oh, my bad. In the snippet, he said, 'I am trying to be happy.' I didn’t specify that 🧡.

That's definitely an interesting vibe. 'Trying' to be happy makes my heart hurt because he's been trying for so long. I think he chases it so hard he never notices that sometimes happiness isn't in the big picture, it's in the smaller moments. I think a lot of us with mental health issues forget that and have this idea in our head of what happiness must be. Happiness can be so small and soft, not always overwhelming and constant. Those of us who have felt deep heartbreak, despair, or battle lifelong depression think happiness must feel as overwhelming. It's not. It's gentle and fleeting at times. I just hope he stops occasionally and finds the happy moments.
