Zoo Tycoon - Marine Mania 🐳

[lasting-through-the-feels]

Is there an active Zoo Tycoon fandom?

I acquired Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania (childhood fav of mine) and def could use some help.

Anytime I play any sort of strategy/simulation/building games like Sims or Jurassic World Evolution I can only think of “but this isn’t zoo tycoon”

[milfchilde847]

cold weather is so dangerous because it just makes me want to be in water 100% of the time. like i could put on more clothes or get more blankets but why do that when i can just run up the water bill and take a hot bath instead. water is more comfortable than blankets. they need to invent water that you can sleep in and not drown or like invent a me that can breathe underwater

[conarcoin]

playing mania mid-event drama is the funniest shit to me i love watching purpled from afar like a zoo animal

TWST boys go to Disneyland!

Heartslabyul

Ace: Is an absolute fiend on the teacups and knows which one spins the fastest (the orange diamond) and how to really get it spinning.

Deuce: Gets spun too fast on the teacups by Ace and throws up. When he feels better he enjoys being the Pilot on Smuggler's Run.

Cater: Documents the whole thing on Magicam in real time. He gets all of the classic shots, like the selfie in front of the castle, holding up the Dole Whip in front of the Tiki Room, etc.

Trey: Spends a lot of time on Main Street sampling all the different confectionaries. Also sits with Deuce after he throws up.

Riddle: Will ride the Alice in Wonderland ride and talk about all the historical inaccuracies to anyone who will listen.

Savannaclaw

Leona: He's been dragged here too many times with his nephew and made to ride all the kiddie rides, so he'd rather skip the whole thing and nap in the hotel room. But when he is inevitably dragged to the park, he enjoys the atmosphere of Adventureland and eats an unreal amount of meat skewers from Bengal Barbeque.

Ruggie: Doesn't go because it's too expensive. Nah I'm just kidding, he goes, but he definitely packs all his own food. Goes through the bakery tour and the Ghirardelli factory tour for the free bread and chocolate until he's told he can't have any more free samples.

Jack Howl: He likes Frontierland best, because it's the least crowded (and the cactus landscaping is exceptional).

Octavinelle

Azul: He's not big on rides, but he really enjoys scouring the historical showcases at the front of the park. As the owner of his own up and coming mega-conglomerate, he is eager to glean any information he can about the park and its rise to fame (and fortune).

Jade: He's very eager to get a selfie in from the yellow mushroom in Fantasyland, claiming its because of its historical significance. (Did you know it used to be a ticket booth?)

Floyd: Rides any and all of the roller coasters as many times as possible. Is not above pushing past little kids to run to the next ride.

Scarabia

Kalim: Is as excited as any kid there. Wants to see and do everything, and cries at the fireworks at the end of the day.

Jamil: Spends most of his time trying to keep up with Kalim and make sure he drinks some water once in a while. Enjoys the music and the parade more than he lets on.

Pomfiore

Vil: Enjoys the park from under a sun parasol, UV shades, and a high SPF sunscreen. He HATES that Snow White's Scary Adventure has been turned into *~*Snow White's Enchanted Wish*~*. The kids of today are WEAK.

Rook: He is hunting aiming to meet as many characters as possible and get them to sigh in his hit signature book.

Epel: Makes it his goal to sample every kind of candy apple in each of its differently decorated forms (Poor bear apple, Mickey ears apple, marshmallow apple, baby yoda apple, etc). Also a roller coaster fanatic.

Ignihyde

idia: Rides Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster's over and over trying to beat the all time high score (it's his). Knows where all the best targets are and can turn the cart with one hand while shooting with the other. ("This is the OG of interactive rides, even though Toy Story Mania may be more modern, this ride paved the way. At the time getting your picture taken and sending it to friends via email was unheard of but this ride blah blah blah blah...)

Ortho: Enjoys Pirates of the Carribean for its theming and "primitive robotics". Likes Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln for the same reason.

Diasomnia

Malleus: Will purchase and consume a Mickey shaped ice cream bar at every opportunity (He knows where all the ice cream carts are by the end of trip). He finds Fantasia amusing and says that the dragon is a "passable likeness".

Lillia: He's amazed at how much the park has changed since he was last here ("Star Wars Land? That area used to be a petting zoo.") Enjoys Haunted Mansion and startling Sebek in the queue.

Sebek: "We need to make sure we use our Lightning Lane at precisely 3:30, and then we must get to Goofy's Kitchen immediately after for our character dining experience, after which we must reserve our spot for the fireworks..." He's extremely concerned with getting the most out of the trip and ensuring that Malleus has a good time (Malleus doesn't care).

Silver: Enjoys the Sleeping Beauty walkthrough, as it is dark, full of vintage charm, and uncrowded. Falls asleep before the fireworks ever start.

hii, you mentioned you were around during the fandom's heyday, i was wondering if you had any favorite fics from back in the day you'd like to share? <3

Hello! Yes, BTR was actually my official "introduction" to online fandom when I was younger :) I spent so much time here on tumblr and fanfiction.net, which was a lot of fun because the fandom was at its biggest and most active.

Good timing with this ask, because I was actually thinking about making a post with some of the fics that were popular (or that I personally enjoyed) back when the show was on. I still have them bookmarked on my old laptop! I'll select a handful and put them under a read more.

Quick disclaimer that I cannot attest for the quality of any of these fics now. I haven't revisited most of these since I originally read them, though the main details have cemented themselves in my brain on account of my past self having read them over and over and over. Still, I don't know if my older, adult self would find them any good in regards to writing quality or the actual content.

• Ok. So, I have to start out by mentioning Laura (known as Miss Fenway), who I wrote briefly about in my BTF Fandom Lore post. When I tell you that she was the "Queen" of the fandom for the years the show ran, I'm not kidding. Everybody knew her. She churned out fanfics like it was her job. She was responsible for a lot of the headcanons that ended up being adopted by the rest of the fandom. And she wrote "Little Hollow," the 55-chapter, 160,000-word fic that had a profound effect on the fandom. Basic premise is: Logan gets cancer, and from there, everything spirals into tragedy and heartbreak. She then wrote a fic based off an alternate ending to "Little Hollow" called "Three" that absolutely destroyed my younger self when I first read it. Like. It was just too much for me.

Back in the day, Logan was the character who was tormented the most by fic writers, and nobody tormented him quite like Miss Fenway. In some of her other fics, he loses an arm in a shark attack, becomes a drug addict, gets kidnapped, is in a car accident that leaves him brain-damaged, is in a hockey accident that leaves him with amnesia, and so on.

Personally, I was partial to "All These Lives" & its sequel "September." To THIS DAY, I cannot hear either of those Chris Daughtry songs without thinking of those fics.

• If you're into AUs, "Mania" was hands-down one of my favorite BTR fics (maybe even one of my favorite fics period). It's like...an edgier version of the boys? They're a gang of sorts, formed out of necessity in order to keep their neighborhood safe from a rival gang. They carry weapons, get into fist-fights daily, and will go to the ends of the Earth to keep Katie safe. Listen. It sounds off the rails, but read it. Trust me. Even now, years later, this fic occasionally pops into my head out of nowhere because I loved it so much.

• Fics that focused on the guys as little kids were very hit or miss (and sometimes could be weird), but I've got to include two of my favorites, "The Petting Zoo" and "Trouble." They both capture the personalities of the boys so well, and I have to imagine this is a lot what they were like as kids. Chaos all the time. Idk, I thought both of these were so funny. Worth a read, in my opinion.

• Alrighty, last fic on this list is a doozy. It's called "Another Reason." This was my absolute favorite BTR fic, and it was one that I read and literally needed several days to digest because it was such an emotional ride. This is a DARK ONE, guys. It's gritty and depressing and hard to read, to the point I only ever read it once because I was never quite ready to return to it. Kendall is kidnapped and tortured for days by someone associated with Hawk (I think??) so it def treads into AU territory because it's nowhere near the lighthearted, goofy feel of the showverse rivalry between Hawk and Rocque Records. Feeling like the police aren't doing all they can to find Kendall, the remaining three boys steal Mrs. Knight's car and take off in search of Kendall.

Like I said, I haven't reread it because it was a tough read, but I remember it being well-written and rambling at length about it to a family member.

And that's where I'll leave it for now! If anyone checks any of these out, I'd love to hear thoughts (my ask box is always open). I also welcome your own fic suggestions, since I really haven't ventured back into the BTR fanfic world yet. Also, thanks to everyone who read the fic I posted the other day!

Hello love! I’m sorry if my question is too much or if it bothers you, but I would love to know something from the interview mania universe and if you feel like it’s too much please just ignore the ask.

What gifts do you think each of the Gosho boys would give to their girlfriends? We see in DCMK that the Gosho boys love gifting their girls (example: Kaito buys Aoko roses and fireworks, Heiji buys Kazuha hair accessories, earrings, and takes her to see beautiful sceneries, Shinichi buys Ran a necklace, cute souvenirs and so much more) but as celebrities they’ve got so much more 💴 so what gifts do you think these men like to spoil their girlfriends with?

You are so very kind and your message does not bother me at all 💜 I had to think real hard about this 😂 so I think on whole- they all will gift traditional gifts (jewelry, flowers). I don’t know why but I feel like with Kaito and Aoko- the gifts would also be all about the event. Like I’m talking skydiving, the zoo, theme parks. Like they doing something crazy. And I also don’t know why but I always see Heiji and Kazuha being the more serious and traditional ones. So she’s probably gonna get a lot of jewelry and stuff of that sort. I can also see then going places. But not anything like crazy fancy. I’m talking like canon in the woods, beach house maybe. Random stuff. And then Shinichi and Ran- I feel like they’d have the more sentimental gifts. Like let’s say Ran has a favorite book- he’s getting her an OG signed copy. That kind of thing. But one thing they all don’t have a lot of that they’d for sure give to their partners- TIME. Since they are so public and everything they’d very much have a moment where it’s just the two.

Comorbities are fun

OCPD: We must have everything under control, the house must be neat, all the cupboards and closets must be in order, life must be in excel files, money must flow in the bank account

Depression: I can't get out of bed, I literally can't clean, I can't work or make money, I can't update our excel files, I don't know how much money we have on our bank account

Panic disorder: Guess it's my time to shine

OCPD: We don't spend money, we don't do impulsive stuff, we plan, and we have everything under control

Mania: Guess what I'd like to spend all our money and never plan anything also here's our new horse I just got

Panic disorder: Yup it's me again guys

OCPD: Every detail must be perfect, all the things must be well thought of, everything is planned and we'll though and we'll succeed ---

AD/HD: Also I just came up with ten new ideas we could add to this thing because we must think outside the box and see the big picture also moving on to the next thing

Panic disorder: It's me again

AD/HD: Ahhh this new TV show is so good we'll spend the next five years obsessing over this

Mania: Lol you sure it's not just me again?

Panic disorder: Guys I'm not doing good we must contact a doctor

OCPD: Must get all these important things in excel files and analyze this data and wrap up all these things so I can then go and see that the other people haven't fucked things up like they always do

AD/HD: Hehe can't focus, people are speaking here and there's internet and social media and also do you think they give tigers tick meds at zoo?
