7,000 Followers Milestone

Hello everyone! We’ve hit another milestone, and I’m here to celebrate. :D

I’ll be honest - I have nada in the way of plans or funny ideas for this one. The terf-begone post SHOT me past 7,000 way before I’d expected it to happen (which, hell yeah, trans rights!) so I didn’t have anything sophisticated, like a song cover or an image selection, to commemorate.

So, we’re falling back on ol’ faithful: a QnA! For the next week (or two weeks (or whenever I arbitrary decide the celebration is over)), please send me inbox asks about... well, anything you’d like!

I have some hyperfixations I’d be especially happy to talk about if people asked - Bionicle, Fallout New Vegas, Mass Effect, Warrior Cats - but I’m also happy to take general questions :)

#Blease send asks in! I love engaging with people on this blog and I feel like I haven't done it enough lately #(mostly my fault bc I've kept submissions closed for so long)#(but I'm working on that I promise!!)#not a pic #7000 QnA

this is extremely important. what's your favourite reaction image(s) of all time

I'll kinda cheat a bit and link this post, bc I got asked about my top 10 images mere days ago :3

Still, if I needed to chose a singular all-time favourite image...

If you could have any animal as a domesticated pet without having to worry about special habitat needs or excessive research what would it be? I couldnt think of any other interesting questions.

'I couldn't think of any other interesting questions', you say, as though you haven't delivered unto me an absolute BANGER of a question right off the bat!! Thank you so much for the ask <33

To actually answer your question, my first thought was a snake - I always wanted a snake when I was younger (at least once I stopped finding them scary lmao) and I maintain my stance that it'd be absolutely baller to have one as a pet.

And then, I had another, much more implausible thought:

penguin.

I grew up on Happy Feet, and Surf's Up, and March of the Penguins, so I absolutely adore those dorky flightless fellas, and having one to hang out with would honestly be incredible lmao. I'd probably want an emperor penguin?? But I'm not too biased, I'd take a rockhopper or an adelie or a king or a chinstrap :D

#penguins are cute #snakes are cute #love 'em both #not a pic #someone asked me a thing!#7000 qna

You know how New Vegas has that alien DLC?

How funny would a DLC that connected directly to Mass Effect be?

Like instead of a 'regular' spaceship, it's a Reaper

That would be... absolutely WILD lmao.

A lot of the stuff about Courier 6 (exact kill count, how many civilisations they've nuked, how they handle general conflict resolution, ideals they fight for) is gonna be dependent on the player, but probably the most consistent thing about them is that they're an incalculable badass who has survived a number of horrific environments and experiences. To them, a Reaper is grim, but after places like The Divide and the Sierra Madre, it's not their first absolute horror show xDD

From the Mass Effect side, it'd be very interesting to see how the characters in that universe react to finding some random human (who's EXTREMELY efficient at killing) hanging out on a Reaper. I honestly can't give an estimate on how exactly that whole scenario might go because there are so many possibilities, but needless to say I love the premise xDD entire plot of ME gets derailed by a rando carrying way more weapons than physically possible (and also probably not even remotely sober).

Thanks for combining two of my favourite things with this ask! xD

#Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure it's fallout 3 that has the spaceship DLC #not Fallout New Vegas #but I'm rollin' with the premise all the same :DDD #not a pic #someone asked me a thing!#7000 qna

pls ramble about something that isn't mentioned often enough in one of your interests

[slams hands down onto table] had to think a bit about this one (apologise for the delay) but buckle up; Imma go on a bit of a Warrior Cats rant because THE SECOND HALF OF THE NEW PROPECHY WAS NOT PLANNED. IT WAS ONLY GONNA BE A TRILOGY OF BOOKS AFTER THE OG SERIES WAS PUBLISHED AND THEN SALES OF THE FIRST SERIES EXPLODED SO HARPERCOLLINS COMMISSIONED ANOTHER SIX-BOOK SERIES.

This is something that's incredibly fascinating to me because I'm one of those readers who's of the opinion that the first six-book series is peak Warrior Cats and then it's all downhill from there (even if there's obviously stuff to enjoy in every series that's been written since!) - but those first three books of The New Prophecy (the second six-book series published) are some of my faves. They might not be as strong in terms of overarching plot, but there are some fantastic character dynamics and it feels like a very compelling continuation of the original series. But then, once they get to the lake and the second half of the new series begins, things just get,,, rough. Some of the character decisions are wild, the romance dynamics implemented at this point in the series remain controversial in the fandom to this day, and there's a lot more jank to be noticed in that plot (honestly, each book kinda has its own separate little plotline - there are lingering threats that still culminate at the end, but I'd argue it doesn't have the same cohesion of the first series). And that's because those latter three books were comparatively way unplanned! Initially, The New Prophecy was a trilogy that served as a next-generation/epilogue followup to the original series, and then it ended up getting stretched into a whole new series. As someone who never much enjoyed the back end of TNP (aside from the Hawkfrost-Brambleclaw confrontation in Dawn, because that shit slaps), it honestly felt kinda vindicating to find out years down the line that there was a meta reason why the vibe felt so different. xDD

In any case, the fact that these books weren't planned for in the way that their immediate predecessors were is something that I haven't really seen discussed in the fandom (not that I'm SUPER plugged into the fandom - maybe I just missed it? :P) which just strikes me as odd because it accounts for so many of the wacky shenanigans we're still discussing all this time down the line xD

(Also this is only tangentially related but me and a friend workshopped how we'd rewrite the series from the second half of TNP onwards and BOY HOWDY is there a lot of stuff that we had cool ideas for. I really wish that the authors had had those ideas instead, yaknow? :P)

Anyways! That's my ramble. I really wish more people in fandom looked at the meta and context of their fave series sometimes, lmao

#tossed around the idea of adding a 'read more' but ultimately decided against it #partially bc it's not THAT long #partially because I Will Make Everyone Read My Ridiculous Rambles #thank you so much for this ask btw!! <3 #not a pic #someone asked me a thing!#7000 qna

holds out microphone what is your opinion on american rock band my chemical romance.

I have no strong opinions on them either way!

Though, curiously enough, the guitar riff from about 2/3 of the way through 'Na Na Na' has been my alarm for almost half a decade

which

probably means SOMETHING

#honestly I think it means that I just like Na Na Na #as far as deeper meanings go I suspect it just means I like Na Na Na #but who knows!#not a pic #someone asked me a thing!#7000 qna

Congratulations on your milestone!! It's very deserved. I went on a binge through your blog and saved a bunch of great reaction pictures, hehe. Thank you for your work!

For a question: What are some reaction pictures you haven't had the perfect opportunity to use yet, but are dying to?

Hope you have a good week!

Aww, thank you so much!! Glad you like the blog :DD

In terms of your question,,, man, there are some images that I don't use enough - or that I haven't used at ALL - and I really want them to get some airtime. Let me dig around in the folder...

^This one's quite possibly my all-time favourite so I'm always happy to use it more

^This one I haven't actually dropped yet because I've been pretty good at not engaging with any, well, cunts for a long time. But it's so good at being disparaging

^Similarly to the last one, I haven't had much cause to feel like a wild chimpanzee for a while, but the wording is so fucking funny to me

^In this instance I am simply waiting for someone to make a reference to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (it's my favourite anime ya see)

And finally...

^this one I'm just keeping around for an opportunity to roast myself lmao

#Thanks again for the ask and good vibes! Have a good one <3 #not a pic #someone asked me a thing!#7000 qna

if someone was on the fence abt checking out any of your hyperfixations, what would you tell them to persuade them to actually look into it?

basically: what do you think are the best points/parts of the hyperfixes?

Ooh, this is an interesting question! (Thank you for asking it!) I'll have to put some thought in my answer to this one. Or, since you guys are reading this after I've written it, I will have put some thought into this answer xD

Anyways! I'll go through each hyperfixation I mentioned in the QnA post piecemeal, starting with...

(continued under the cut because this one turned into kinda long one, whoops)

BIONICLE

I've already talked at about as much length as I've been able to get away with about Bionicle on this blog, including this post where I do my best to surmize the entire Bionicle canon, and this post where I was asked to show off my Bionicle collection. (Good times xD)

If someone's on the fence about Bionicle, I'd be honest and tell them that it's a story spread out of a great deal of expanded media (toys, comics, online serials, movies, and videos) that was all released between 2001 and 2010. Not that it'll be impossible to consume the story and enjoy it, but it might get a bit finnicky. xD

If you're willing to give it a try, though, you'll be met with, in my obviously biased opinion, a really damn good story. The fact that it's so sprawling, and there are so many smaller stories in it, means that the world feels incredibly realised, and there's probably at least half a dozen serials and comics that fit the exact tone your looking for; whether that tone is 'character gets cut in half by an interdimensional portal that closes on them while they're only partly through', or 'character makes a canon "I use two guns because I have two hands" joke'.

The real strength of the story, though, is that it's very cheesy in a lot of ways, but it's played straight enough, and delivered with enough heart, that it becomes very earnest and a joy to experience. It feels like a classic 'epic' story, akin to something like Lord of the Rings - in LOTR, Aragorn leads the Army of the Dead to save the besieged Minas Tirith from Sauron’s Orcs, and in Bionicle, Jaller leads the Ta-Koro Guard and the Gukko Force to save the Chronicler’s Company from the Rahi. It's that kinda vibe, you know? There's a lot of weird and crazy stuff inside (both in a whimsical sense and in a horrifying sense), but it's played straight, internally consistent, and manages to be cool more often than not. If that sounds like you're thing, then I think Bionicle might be worth checking out :)

TLDR BEST PART: 'Epic' story told across multiple media that's a lot of fun digging into

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS

Oh, Fallout: New Vegas, my beloved. The more experienced with RPG videogames I've gained over the years, the more convinced I've become that New Vegas is the best RPG videogame. Ok, if you're on the fence about New Vegas, here's what I'd say: the level of narrative control that the player gets is incredible.

A lot of RPG games have an issue where you're kinda railroaded into a plot. To use other examples from the same series; in Fallout 3, you being from a vault with a scientist father is a non-negotiable aspect to your character. (And you probably murdered a whole bunch of security guards to actually leave the vault, whoops.) In Fallout 4, the game's entire plot hinges on whether you give a toss about your kidnapped son - if you don't, or you want to play a character that doesn't, there's a real lack of immersion in so much of the world you interact with, because the game takes for granted the idea that you're invested in the story they've come up with.

In Fallout New Vegas, you are linked to the plot by a single inciting incident (that I won't spoil here because I think it's kinda cool to experience lmao). You wake up, you spend like 8 minutes (or 30 seconds if you know what you want from the get-go) making your character, you leave the building you start in, and from then on, you have total narrative freedom. The plot runs entirely off of your own initiative - if you want to, you can go track it down from the get go (and most people do, because it's a good plot hook that raises a lot of intriguing questions), but if you want to, you can also ignore it completely!! You can follow it in multiple different ways, too - either following clues around the long end of the map, or beelining it through the most dangerous parts of the map straight to the city of New Vegas. And the way the dialogue and characters are written not only accounts for the choices you might make, but also doesn't PRESUME that you're going to deal with this plot, and doesn't force you to keep focusing your character on it all the time. It only comes up when other characters - who were involved in the plot before you ever came along - want to get you involved for their own benefit, and even then, you can feasibly tell 'em all to get stuffed if you want!

I've played through New Vegas like,,, 5-ish times, and I've gone in a different direction from that spawn more or less every time, and I've STILL had a fulfilling RPG experience that I can create a story out of every time so far! It almost feels like a sandbox game, and it's so weird and refreshing. For that aspect alone, I'd say it's worth giving a look! :D

(Also, uh, the actual plot and all of the side quests are really good, and the characters are really great and compelling, and the 4 story DLC are all separate experiences but also have their own interconnected story that coalesces into the last one which is really fuckin cool, and you can go on a mission to find a new brain for a cyborg dog that belongs to a leader of a gang of Elvis Presley impersonators, and also "Nobody's dick's that long. Not even Long Dick Johnson, and he had a fucking long dick, hence the name" is an actual line of dialogue. Just please play New Vegas if you have any interest in story-driven videogames. I'm begging ya.)

TLDR BEST PART: ludicrous amounts of player freedom to engage with a really well-written story how they see fit

MASS EFFECT

Uh, yeah. Me bigging up another RPG videogame right after I just said that New Vegas was the best one is probably a bit weird, huh? (Especially bc I stand by that statement, New Vegas slaps, go play it)

But here's the thing. Mass Effect does essentially drag you along on a story it's telling. But the story it's telling is - for the most part! - really fucking compelling and well-put-together. It's this big, longform story set in a Star Trek universe (intimate and interesting sci-fi detail) with Star Wars protagonists (interesting, violent, madcap characters), and as someone who's had a lot of fun with modern science fiction, it hit really well for me xD

Actually, I'd take it further than 'hit really well' - I honestly have no idea why it worked for me specifically, but it was the most engaging and, like, visceral gaming experience I can remember having. Project Overlord had me hunched over a sink genuinely worried I was gonna throw up, the Citadel DLC had me laughing out loud and gleefully liveblogging my whole experience to my friends who'd already played it, and the ending - lame as I'd heard it was gonna be - still left a pit in my gut, in a good way.

(I think in my case it helped that I played it with the perfect level of contextual knowledge vs. going in blind. I did my first playthrough with the Legendary edition (all 3 games + all DLC in one remastered package), so I wasn't missing out on anything, and I knew going in that the ending was bad enough that people were complaining about coloured lights almost a decade down the line, which meant that I'd built it up enough in my head that when it happened I was like "oh, that wasn't actually that bad".)

My TLDR is that it's a really really engaging story with some ESPECIALLY amazing character work (oh, man, the characters/companions and the dynamics you can build with them basically make this trilogy). Just get the legendary edition (because some of the best companions are technically DLC, because fuckin' EA), get a friend who's played it before to nudge you and make sure you don't miss any of the little details, and assume that the ending sucks, and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. :D

(Also the 4th game (Andromeda) isn't as bad as a lot of people say it is but my fixation here is really on the original trilogy, so that's what I'm referring to with this one. Fingers crossed for the 5th installment!)

TLDR BEST PART: Fun adventure with really well-realised characters that grips you emotionally in a way that few videogames (to my knowledge) have been able to lay claim to

WARRIOR CATS

I think the most interesting thing about this series is that it's pretty raw? for a series that's marketed to children?? I'm aware that's not a unique thing, I know about Animorphs and Watership Down - and hey, I grew up on The Clone Wars - but it's still noteworthy! And what's cool about it in Warrior Cats, like it is in these other media, is that it doesn't really feel forced, or gratuitous, or even necessarily contradict the fact that it's media aimed at a younger audience (even if I'm not sure they wouldn't have gotten away with some of the stuff they did if it wasn't done with cats lmao).

The main plot compliments these darker elements as well - it's essentially a character drama built around secrets and political espionage, as well as an outsider's perspective clashing with longstanding traditions; exploring why those traditions are in place, but also what kind of damage they can cause.

And hey, the characters are good too! I'd argue that the 'Clan' dynamic hits its peak in the first series (the first 6 books) and never really reaches the same heights in later series, but I think every story arc so far has had multiple characters that people have really enjoyed. The fact that the entire series has taken place over -multiple generations- at this point is something that a lot of other media doesn't get the chance to do, and it serves a lot of Warrior Cats' longform storytelling really well (even if some of the writing decisions that the authors have made over the decades have been [???] lmao).

TLDR BEST PART: Longform dramatic storytelling that has some really compelling character and plotwork, and also has some grim shit happen without going over-the-top or being obnoxious about it

(Personally I'd recommend just the first 9 books in the series - that's the 'Prophecies Begin' series and the first half 'New Prophecy' series - because I think that's Warrior Cats at its peak, but there's things to enjoy in every story arc if you want to read further ^_^)

---

Aand that's me talking about those hyperfixations I mentioned! Sorry it took so long to finally publish an answer to this ask - a lot of thought went into this one xDD

I was wondering if mayhaps you have images for whe you really just really want to SQUIMSH someone/something? (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

Well, as far as SQUIMSHing goes, my old faithful is always:

As far as other ones that'd fit the description go, I guess I also have-

Unfortunately I don't have anything that correlates perfectly with SQUIMSH in the way that I think you were looking for, but I hope these help! I also hope that you either have found, or will find, all the SQUIMSH images you could ever want :)

(I also hope that you forgive me for taking this long to get to your ask)

#having announced the QnA for 7000 followers I immediately remembered that there were a bunch of unanswered image requests in my inbox #and I felt really bad #so I'm trying to address 'em all now xD #not a pic #someone asked me a thing!#ask mood: image request
