I don't get why people hate the timeline so much, its not like you can't pretty much completely ignore it when you play the games. The only time it even approaches mattering to the story is when there is an explicit sequel like botw and totk or zelda and zelda 2

Hey sorry your ask got lost in the sauce of my broken tumblr, but: yeah!

I mean, I get why in some sense. It's been a heated point of debate and I think some people understandably resent the space it has taken not only in fandom discourse, but in how people began to understand the game and its narrative aesthetic choices. There is such a thing as over-rationalizing everything to hard logic, and sometimes it's just not the fandom for that --especially when you begin to forget it's all just fan theory and start to forget what the games are supposed to be like and evoke beyond just strict facts displayed in a linear way.

What I think bugs me with TotK in particular is that it both evokes and relies on continuity and the idea of a timeline, of archeology, of history itself, while being so loose and vacant with it that it both is doing Timeline Shit while also completely failing to understand why some parts of the fandom were invested in Timeline Shit to begin with.

But that's just my two cents of course!

#asks #tloz #timeline #totk critical #thanks for the ask!#I do... feel two ways about that myself #I think pure evocation is genuinely one of zelda's greatest storytelling strengths #that mood is sufficient and enough in itself and doesn't always need justification #it is the way the games center story --and that's genuinely wonderful and a strong take on narrative in games #as something freeflowing and accompanying gameplay rather than the opposite #and to ignore that and focus on hard facts all of the time kind of misses the point of the games' stories to a degree #BUT #I also get quite annoyed at the weird condescencion towards fans that do decide to engage with the stories more factually #especially since this is either revelatory regarding some of nintendo's choices #(that the aesthetics of evil are so tied to The Desert TM while taking so many inspirations from european fairy tales for example)#(it's not neutral even if we ignore ingame “lore”)#or just a great fodder for creativity and narrative play #and it is a part of the IP too!! just as much as dungeons and items and musics and curiosity-driven exploration!!#I do have beef with people not resonating with that aspect thinking others that do so are just stupid or childish #and that you can only have an enlightened relationship with zelda if you like it “the right way”#(which is somehow always mechanics/logic-driven which is. interesting to me.)#(or in a completely passively aesthetic way as in “I like fairies they're pretty”)#but you know it's the weird Triforce Shirt Dude stigma thing #that notion that you can (and must!) Love Zelda Deeply and Defensively #but you cannot be *passionate* about Zelda #then it's weird and immature #I don't know I feel like there's a lot to analyze in that arbitrary dychotomy #anyway sorry for the mega novel in the tags!!

I honestly think the qsmp needs to get itself a team of beta testers for big events like this. The concept of this event is great! The execution is… flawed. Very flawed.

(Small rant from a game design major as the purgatory event has been causing my literal psychic damage)

The map is too big and there are no means of efficient transportation. More than half of everyone’s streams are spent traveling alone across the same terrain over and over and over again. A majority of bbh’s stream today was him walking around just trying to reach places. It takes 30 minutes to reach the center for contract quests. It takes 30 minutes to reach red or green’s base. It takes 30 minutes going home from any of these locations. A single trip to the center and back takes an hour.

Beds don’t reset your spawn. When you die - which happens quite often on a PVP server especially when the mobs are buffed - it’s extremely boring and irritating having to farm water bottles and food so you don’t die on your 30 minute walk across the map just to collect your gear. (Not to mention blue teams spawn is a literal death trap hell scape and it take 5+ minutes just to reach their base)

Limited time to play. The five hour limit is horrible especially when everyone is spending so much time traveling. If they had an efficient method of transportation this wouldn’t be so much of an issue. It’s a massive restriction for players who live the grind and this could have been accounted for in team balancing - making sure every team has an equal amount of grinders.

The rules on how to score points are vague and keep changing. This is something that should have been figured out through beta testing. That is literally what beta testing is for. Tomorrow will be day 4 out of fourteen - almost a quarter through the event - and the admins are probably gonna make even more tweaks to the rules. I appreciate that they are trying to make this work and are listening to cc feedback but they should have figured out all of the balancing issues before the event began. Constantly changing the rules and trying to balance it on the fly erases the legitimacy of the competition itself. No one can come up with consistent strategies and wins with previous rules feel cheap especially if they were cheesed wins. Additionally the scoring needs to be clearly explained so the ccs know how to strategize properly to actually play the game otherwise they are playing chess when they thought they were playing checkers.

Idk if the qsmp has a team of beta testers but if they do, then they need to expand the team or give the testers more time to work out the kinks for these events. It’s clearly frustrating for the audience and the ccs. I know the admins are doing their best with what they have - which is why they need something more. Either someone experienced with game design or a (better) beta testing team.

#qsmp #crimson speaks #a lot of the admins choices over the last month or two have left me very confused #they are doing a great job #but some of their choices make me wonder if they actually know what they are doing #which hurts me to even think #because I love the qsmp so much #game design is one of my passions so I always have strong feelings about this stuff

sometimes i truly do feel so isolated and alienated because even if people on here are lonely and sad they still have friends and partners and they're capable of having jobs and getting educations ... and im like ok wow im like actually the only one who doesn't just "feel" those things but also is completely worthless and insignificant. cool 👍

#and it's why i cant feel connected to anyone even if some ppl are nice to me #bc ok yeah but at the end of the day i still AM a loser while u have a life and ppl who care abt u........#nobody gets me. like for real...... ☹️#having avpd is fucked up and a curse tbh #idk rn im also in an avpd moment where i cant even reply to anyone at all #im like ok wow.... i both feel like im only worthless and stupid and awkward anyway why even bother trying #plus im genuinely like tired...... i just wanna be the most important to ONE person and be chosen by them over everyone else #never having experienced that just makes everything else pale away in comparison like i cant even find it in me to feel anythinf #anything*#im just feeling so fucking sad and im realizing how fkn alone i an #AM* god trying so hard not to cut myself since i cant even type properly #and since i have avpd that only makes me isolate myself more which makes me more miserable #but also the thing is... my only choice IS to isolate myself bc i dont have anybody #having short shallow social exchanges w ppl who i only exist a little bit to is making me feel more empty #i so badly need deep strong emotional connections #but actually i dont even care abt that... really truly all i want is to be no 1 to one person #so.... i dont know i dont fkn know all i know is that im so lonely #and even if shallow impersonal things can sustain me sometimes im in an avpd mood rn where i feel so fuckinf #fucking***** broken and worthless and all i want is to further isolate myself #bc when i try to talk to ppl im reminded of how stupid i am #bc they mean sm more to me than i do to them #bc they have real lives with real ppl that matter to them!!!#it's not what my soul needs so i just cant bring myself to.....#idk i also feel like an asshole bc i truly appreciate nice messages #idk i just wanna cry tbh and kms bc i will always have avpd and be broken 🩷

Knight Bobo, wearing some of the patterns I drew :D!

#LN #colored doodles #bobo #ft.#agata #louie #(sorry. long tags warning ¯\ (ToT) /¯)#putting the blue patterns to use even if she wasn't the intended wearer for them (hey! big bro louie just has to learn how to share! lol.)#i am actually planning to draw all three of them more along with fafnir and some other nobodies. i cri—#speaking of fafnir!!! FAFNIR???!!! offering alcoholic drinks to nidhogg in the 9th anniversary hell event????!!!#fafnir who's helping agata bobo and louie against tyr?!! who has bobo on speed dial for info as she thwarts tyr's plans??? the guy who‚ on #the night louie leaves and visits him for a drink‚ offers him instead a hot cup of MILK and teasingly calls him a child?! ASADJFJDSK!!!#(there's layers to him offering that that makes it funny‚ i promise. he offers concoctions based on a person's personality? i think??? he #offered debbie a cup of milk that TASTES like books and mela something strong. losing it ✋😭) anyways he runs an INTEL TAVERN. is aware of #most things in the north. fuck. wait! omg??? what if he's the same tavern keeper from louie's dreamweaver??? regardless he is aiding #all three of them... somehow... and he's sharing a drink with nid which is funny cause nid is the same guy who has said before ''alcohol #destroys you mind and stops you from making the right choice 🗿'' and there's fafnir sliding a drink to a sad looking nid. asdjsfkgk #FAFNIR please 😭😭😭!!! (fafnir sliding a drink to nid: make some bad choice tonight boy.)#anyways im just happy there's new fafnir art. i was not expecting it. or him alongside nid. fafnir's name is ALSO named after a dragon in #norse mythology. 🤔 turning into a dragon is a symbol of greed. damn. imagine fafnir is ALSO from frigidfog? but then again...#OKAY I'LL STOP!!! (I WILL NOT!!! I AM LOSING MY MIND! THERE'S JUST SO MUCH I CAN PLAY AROUND WITH HERE!)#wait! okay okay okay. what if for some reason fafnir is ratatoskr 👁 👁? like the role he plays as an intelligence collector adds up #as louie said ''(fafnir) you're not even there yet you already know about it'' it's not far fetched #... i am officially losing it. im adding too much depth to a game that has time and time again made itself shallow 😔

i know who the strongest on my blog is but it's mostly because of her voodoos + destruction powers that really tips her over the last few people

(its aelynn)

#she is almost the most physically strong on my blog and pretty much the most accustomed to combat #but even those she's physically weaker than. some of them she could take out with her voodoos #and the rest she could panic shatter if it really got bad enough #...looks at ringleader...#yeah actually i think even now she could beat him too because she could resist his voodoos for long enough because of being dead #wow dude good job making the one person that wants to kill you most capable of killing you #you did it. 30 years of work #his imperious malignancy would definitely be. the biggest struggle for her #she would have no choice but to shatter which could risk killing her as well since they backfire #but he's stronger faster and immune to voodoos so. oop.#there's others that would win against her in groups like duskguard because they're specialised for fighting undead #anyway. holds my stupid daughter to my face #the only other thing that holds her back is how fucking dumb she is <3

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

as a bona fide vaxleth lover i am more confused than ever about how they are portrayed on the animated series i'm not gonna lie 😭

#not that different is bad like it doesn't affect or 'ruin' the actual source material #i just legitimately do not understand some of their choices here #there's stuff i really like ofc but u know. i've written multiple long analyses about conflict in their relationship #and in previous seasons it seemed to me like they were just smoothing out those sharp edges which bummed me out ngl #(for one there was a line at the end of s1 where kiki directly contradicted her campaign self in favor of No Conflict that i was feeling #unsatisfied with. and s2 didn't contend with rq as a sticking point for keyleth really at all)#and like to be honest my distaste for that is biased by like fandom drama of years past and people shitting on them for that exact stuff #so for me it kinda felt like an updated and palatable version that appealed to the group of people that made me feel bad for liking them #which is again like a strong personal bias lol but u know it also is just. a really important story to me that i love #but this season it's like they went no no. they do actually need to fight that was a big thing. hmmmm what about #AH YES. let's reverse their povs about their relationship completely.#have not finished ep3 yet but 10 min in i'm just like HUH?#again this doesn't rly matter and the show remains an enjoyable adaptation it's just truly bizzare to me 😭 how did this choice get made #it speaks #lovm spoilers #sorry I'm not done yet actually because the specific conflict about happiness in the present being or not being worth sorrow later #is the VERY CORE OF BOTH OF THOSE CHARACTERS and to switch which one feels which is way more than weird for the romance it's weird for like #what each of their whole individual deal is. that's why i'm so ??????????????#gah. i truly don't want to complain too badly #(and tbh the eps simply don't have enough runtime for vax to be as completely-falling-apart as he actually was and the role of #depression and trauma and self-loathing in that vs like. a more easily telegraphed supernatural boogeyman #-which if they slowed the pace down more might fit in but the scale of the story is so grand that they can't so like i begrudingly get it.#but still absolutely wild for the solution to be: do away with their actual arguments about divinity or keyleth's insecurity about #outliving all of vox machina. oh btw we are giving the vision she had of that to vax as a gift from rq or whatever #so he can be inscure about it instead. because he's fate touched or smthn. and that's too abstract for us to explore here so let's just #give him ominous visions.)#the more i have typed the saltier i have gotten i'm sorry it's just WILD TO MEEEE

I know I wrote Blinding back in like 2013 but even to this day my villain origin story is when people comment that they're glad Tony has a happy ending in it

#it is an unreliable narrator dubious consent unhealthy relationship story from minute one #does Tony think he is choosing an ending that will make him happy? yes #but like. if the story has not made you question at all Tony's meaningful degree of agency and the healthiness of the choices he makes with #said agency? then the story didn't land quite right #blinding was meant to have a sequel called winter where even Tony's deeply unreliable close 3rd POV showed the cracks in the ending #but inspiration. time. major depression #etc. still. Blinding's ending should read as like happy (derogatory)#and I think the issue lies partially with my writing to be clear! I was not as strong a writer 10 years ago as I feel like I am now #(and will doubtless say the same thing in a decade about current me)#so like there are definitely parts of that story I would craft very differently if I was writing it now #I don't want to make it seem like I'm like 'oh people who read that story suck' bc that is not what I mean #I just mean like....Blinding is a work I'm still very proud of. many elements of it are cool. I did some things cleverly #which is partially why misreads on the ending are just like aghahbdjdn

VERY stromng opinions on that 80s music poll

#'Valerie' 'Relax' 'This Corrosion' 'Never Gonna Give You Up' 'Maniac' losing in their respective polls is soul destroying #They all can lose later that would be fine but #Honestly much less strong opinions on the 70s music poll? Which surprises me #The only poll I was prepared to go apeshit over on that one was if 'I Will Survive' was losing but thankfully tumblr has chosen sensibly #I think some of the song choices themselves on that one are very poor like #you cannot fucking choose 'Mr Blue Sky' over 'Living Thing' or 'Turn To Stone' you just cannot

well. finished yakuza 5.

#not gonna go into all my thoughts right now because it’s A LOT but #the ending was pretty good overall like I got my little complaints here and there but overall I was pretty satisfied #the choice of final boss (for kiryu) was narratively pretty half assed but. I’ll let it slide because that fight was fun #i feel like shinada deserved more closure in the baseball realm of things #and I feel like majima should’ve had at least ONE conversation with katsuya at the end #I would’ve liked to see kiryu reunite with him as well but. you know #majima and saejima’s conclusion was also pretty open ended and not clear but yeah. idk just a lot of threads #that don’t feel like theyre tied yet #but despite how it sounds the story of 5 i overall liked quite a bit #it’s interesting that my friend really doesn’t like that there isn’t a singular Big Bad Villain that’s known from the start more or less #like in most games but I kinda feel the exact opposite in that I like the mystery and finding out who’s pulling the strings and all that #a lot of the characters in this game in general are very strong despite some being totally newly introduced #like I liked katsuya and watase and madarame and I’m forgetting his name but shinada’s loan shark #I liked aizawa alot up until the end where they pulled what they pulled and now I’m conflicted cause that was. weird. but yeah #OH and baba of course #idk alot of supporting characters felt really 3 dimensional to me #shinada’s great and very lovable and I’m very sad he doesn’t come back in 6 or anything m #I liked haruka’s ending generally too because she basically did exactly what I was hoping for #which is realizing her own dream and all that and not just doing the whole idol thing just to live out mirei’s ideal life #haruka finally getting to make her OWN choice that kiryu or mirei or anyone can’t interfere with #that was good that was very good #rambling #y5

Tagged by @zerokrox-blog! Not tagging anyone else because I am fundamentally a bad tumblr citizen. Do it if you like, I'm not your parent or guardian.

Putting this under a cut because it's not technically fandom content.

Three ships: I know this is a non-answer, but I tend to hyperfixate on one ship at a time, gnawing at it until I've got all the gristle and marrow I think I'm going to get. That said, I'm generally pretty willing to be sold on any given ship for the length of a fic.

Last song: I've just got back from the V&A's Hallyu/Korean Wave exhibit this afternoon, so I've pulled up some of my old kpop playlists; the song that's playing right now is Holland's I'm So Afraid.

Last movie: An indie cinema in Chinatown did a special showing of EEAAO last week, so of course I took the opportunity to drag a few friends along to see it again in 4k.

Currently reading: My friend recently lent me Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk, and I finished it just in time to catch the staged version at the Barbican in a stunningly serendipitous coincidence.

Currently watching: Turns out the same friend who lent me the Tokarczuk has never seen We Are Lady Parts so I've been making her watch it. I highly HIGHLY recommend it for absolutely everyone—it's a charming, funny, clever, and incredibly well-produced six-episode series about an all-female Muslim punk band in London.

Currently consuming: What my bestie calls "diaspora buttered noodles" i.e. flat egg noodles with sesame oil, chili, and a bit of rocket/arugula to nod vaguely in the direction of vitamins and whatnot. I feel obliged to admit that I've also added some nutritional yeast; I'm not a vegan, but I've dated a number of vegans (yay queer dating) and it turns out I'm a freak who just...legitimately enjoys nutritional yeast more than cheese. I may get my American citizenship revoked for this, or at the very least my right to call myself a Midwesterner.

Currently craving: Time, energy, a girlfriend, take your pick.

#tag game #I generally have strong opinions on which UK/US(/Aus/NZ) terminology I prefer but I'm completely agnostic on rocket/arugula #rocket sounds excitingly cosmic! but arugula sounds like a bicycle horn! truly both excellent choices #also lol @ me whining about being single when I've just been too busy to date for the last few months #like. this is a situation where the problem is very blatantly me and my life choices.#I literally skipped out on a queer shindig tonight because I 'needed to write some emails' ffs #ETA: I said UK/US/Aus/NZ because those are the countries I've lived in & therefore the terms I've tended to pick up!#sry I realize that needed a bit of context

#oof. it as been a very very long day. so much talking. all day talking and interviews #and so far my feelings are mixed. bc it is a smaller university and its underfunded and cost of living is kinda high #and the town is small and isolated. HOWEVER #the faculty feels like a strong community and theyre all amazing scientists who choose to b there bc the quality of life is so high #they seem extremely supportive and the fact its small means that i could probably get around better given my intense anxiety around driving #and i could literally just walk to hiking paths rather than having to drive way out. and its fucking so beautiful. the clouds r gorgeous #bc theyre all conpressed by the mountains around this lil valley. also the potential advisor seems amazing. the grad students have good #things to say and hes excited that im interested in the things im interested in. and i talked to an astrobiology guy and he was like u #should apply for X grant and i would b happy to help u and the advisor is a former nasa post doc so he has nasa astrobiology connections.#so those r some pretty great things. i mean. of the schools im looking at this one would prob be the best for my brain tbh #i mean the uk one is too rigid in structure and i cant fuck around so much as at a us school. and the east coast on is hard to say no to bc #its a good school with lots of funding and opportunities to b creative but i would have to hard core get my shit together and hes quite #hands off. and id b living in the city which sucks. so like. i mean this school is kinda looking like the best choice for me. definitely #the healthiest. i mean assuming i dont fuck it up and get the offer after this weekend. but yeah. i mean im not fully in love i think #and the idea of commiting to 5years here is terrifying but id get a lot of support that i dont think ive really ever had. not that my #current boss isnt great but our lab is kinda disconnected. and i really fit in perspective wise in my interests. and id get to work at #[redacted] national park. which is so cool that i might have to unredact it if i end up here bc its so fucking next level #not that the national park i have access to now isnt awesome but. like its next level awesome and i could maybe wiggle may way into maybe #some arctic systems and i bet i could get my current boss to send me desert samples. so yeah i could def see a life here #but fuck i dont want roomates with all my heart. y does it have to b so expensive for a trash apartment? bleh #god. im so tried. so much talking. but a good day. and im going skiing tomorrow bc like thats a thing here lol #unrelated

One thing you need to know about me is that I will never reblog anything that has the addition "this should be reblogged by everyone" or anything of the like.

#unless it's like #really funny and not a guilt trippy kind of bullshit #i can agree 130% with a post and then see that comment and I'm like #yeah no. go fuck yourself.#(this point has been made so many times but people don't get why it's annoying apparently. people don't dislike your stupid addition #because they secretly disagree with the post but because now it seems like some weird social obligation to rb is #rb this or you're a bad person is a clever marketing strategy but it's quite stupid because it weakens the original point #oh you're saying everyone should rb this? well now it looks like the ppl rbing actually just do it out of some feeling #of social obligation. not because they really want to but because they want to fulfill the arbitrary standards you just made up for being #a good person #and don't get me wrong most certainly are most people rb these posts still out of agreement with the original statement #but it's still annoying as fuck and also you'd think ppl would know by now that people don't generally like being told what to do #so my hypothesis is (and i won't do any research to prove or disprove it (i might be very wrong and most people don't mind obviously)) bjt #but my hypothesis is that people who originally agree with the post but have a strong desire of being free in their choices #won't actually end up rbing bc it's just not that free of a choice anymore bc you just had to make it 'obligatory' but we all know #nothing is obligatory on a stupid webbed site like this so they scroll past while people who maybe would have scrolled past now feel #like they might actually be a bad person if they don't do as it says but without actually caring about the content. which diminishes #the positivity the post originally was supposed to spread bc how do you tell ppl actually mean it now when they rb these things #anyway. am i ranting about something completely asinine phenomenon on tumblr.com? yes.#would it be better to not dedicate my time and energy into making a 'hate' post? absolutely. but that will never stop me from doing so #(also works for things like 'you guys HAVE to do xyz [for your (mental) health/etc]'. literally the best advice phrased like this #is counterproductive. post something that doesn't sound like you're judging everyone who does otherwise and maybe ppl will be more inclined #to believe whatever your point or statement is)#ok I'll stop #shut up amy #void screams

FUCK. THE SONIC SPLATOON POST. I FORGOT ABOUT IT. my brain sucks so bad i got hung up on a minor logical inconsistency that i couldn’t resolve without compromising my vision so i just stopped making progress and my 3 day time limit was up so my interest drifted to. playing splatoon. and watching people play splatoon. which you’d think would make me more interested in talking about splatoon but it didn’t. and now i’ve got other things to spend my time on. whoopsies

#my main problems were with a couple weapon choices i was shaky on #but moreso that i had 10 main players i actually cared to think deeply about but splatoon is a 4 player per team game #so i couldn’t fit them into teams neatly which was killing me #i won’t prune them down to 8 and i couldn’t make any additions up to 12 work in my head #thats my main issue #honestly i think i could just cut out stuff abt teams other than the obvious and solid one #but other than that i just still have 1 character that i fully need to explain and 4 that i need to add more detail to #plus some general polish #so like. it’s an eventuality probably #just postponed for a while until i’m motivated again or in immense pain again. whichever comes first #my interest in splatoon and sonic have both been going strong for like 8-9 months now so it’s not gonna fizzle completely #2.5k words still sitting pretty in a tumblr draft lmao #i’ll get around to it eventually ✌️#rambles #splatposting
