that feeling when you're noping out of a fanfic and you accidentally hit the kudos button

requested by @lexkent: the scene in "Shattered" where Lana sees Lex on the ground in the stable sitting curled into himself, and she looks anguished to see him in such a state, and she's so kind and compassionate to him

+ bonus Lana, after literally almost dying:

yknow what. i hate to be rude but the oxygen not included fandom has to get their heads out of the sand and acknowledge that HEY, THERES LORE. I know minmaxxing is fun and all but holy fucking shit. the steam artwork page is 90% screenshots??? Theres a seperate tab for screenshots. People are just posting their screenshots in thebart page anyways for fuck knows what reason. like fuck you I don't wanna see your sourgas boiler in the fanart page, what do you even need to boil sourgas for, whys it so important you wanna smother any fucking ember of creativity left here???

like jesus fuck for once i got attached to a fairly major character and i cant even find anyone making fanart like AT ALL. Ive seen one singular person on tumblr acknowledge the characters in the lore logs beyond their dupe equivalents. The wiki page for the lore is horrifically outdated.

please. I beg. If you're readung this just. just spend five minutes reading the emails or investigations or whatever tab of your guidebook while ur waiting for your dupes to build something. acknowledge the fact that every menu and popup is written in first person. did you ever notice that the quit game confirm text uses i instead of you. Have you looked at the flavour text for the algae terrarium

please

theres so much lore. please j

i just want to see people care i cant be in another dead rotting fandom

oh GOOD. OH GOOD!! I just found out that patreon, for me, eats messages sent in their actual messaging page, and sends them when they're sent in the little pop-up messaging client I get when I hit the message button on a patron's name. That's what I WANTED. I was desperate to go re-type all of these. thank god I get to do that.

saving this draft to post for when im high enough but i do NOT!!!! sympathize with u if ur scared of unnaturally colored food. “wahhh i hate black icing” “boohoo rainbow cakes are so tacky” “ew you know that’ll turn your shit green” grow up dork

I was playing hades an accidentally summoned thanatos when I was fighting hades and I felt so bad bc that’s gotta make for an awkward workplace experience

sometimes i wish i could drop out of uni but then i would need a backup plan and unfortunately i am not like silverrruns who has 30 men waiting on him hand and foot at any given moment . maybe in another life

trying to like/reblog a post from a blog that has you blocked is so fucking funny lmao. like how could YOU block ME? Unbelievable, shameful even.

honestly the thing im most sad about in ensekai translations is the fact rui makes SO MANY BAD PUNS ALL THE TIME and NONE OF THEM ARE EVER TRANSLATED. he makes a pun about robonene flying/jumping in the world link. he makes a pun about a passed out tsukasa looking like a starfish. he made a pun about origami. who knows what else? i don't. because they DONT TRANSLATE THEM.

WHATTTTT THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY TO KNOW OH MY GOD . ENSEKAI IS EVIL FOR NOT TRANSLATING THEM. everytime i think i could not be more obsessed with rui kamishiro i learn thinsg like this and am proven completely wrong. i fucking love him

alright so i have played the SHIT out of resident evil 4 but almost exclusively on the wii. which is genuinely an excellent port of the game, because the wii's controls flow pretty seamlessly into the way that movement and aiming works in the game. 10/10 no notes. but i'm playing it on console for the first time and it is HUMBLING ME

this is my favorite video game. i have beat it a countless number of times. i know every secret. i could probably speedrun it if i wanted to. how do i swing the knife

what do you think of the latest Gladstone comic? Gladstone and skies of farmtown? I'm... I don't know. I don't like how this has progressed from cute to major duck lore/history changing to something other than it's always been :/

you said it. sadly I've gone right off it with this latest installation- there's just too much retconning and forcing of new canon (in part clearly for a new ship to be crowbarred in, which I won't deny is very displeasing for me on many different levels...) but the tragedy of it all is that it's ultimately and inevitably self defeating! the success and immortality of the duck comics is partly, and I would say very strongly, owed to the hilarious curse of it being an unchanging and unchangeable universe.

A typical story happens featuring a cast of characters who are easy to read and easy to recognise. There is a saga, usually some character development, a resolution- and then you turn the page, and the next story starts with the exact same world as it was before, the same characters who have the same tried and true interpersonal relationships and personalities and histories. Magica wants the Dime. Scrooge loves Money. Donald is Unlucky. These factors are as essential and unchangeable as the law of gravity is in our world. It is the same formula for success as fairytales, and consequently they are just as entertaining and long lasting.

inserting new lore into the world or having a permenant change in personality can be done but it is risky and difficult. it has to make sense within the boundaries of the Laws of this World, aka it must make rational sense and allow for other stories where this lore isn't already stated. even if it 'takes', you end up with a divide (before X happened, and after), which still breaks the perfect fluidity of the constant universe.

You may well have witnessed what happens if this rule is broken badly in other series; *it* happens, it jarrs, tastes bad. You end up with 'the episode where X happened' and everyone nods... and proceeds to ignore it, because regardless of official status it doesn't feel canon. It does not ring true. Your mind and heart rejects it. With this latest comic, what I feel is happening is that we now effectively have an AU which is specific to this writer/artist. There is simply no way I can see this as the same world as the Carl Barks or Don Rosa comics, or indeed the vast majority of the duck comics over the past 80+ years! which is a shame because there were aspects of the preceeding comics that I did enjoy, and the art is certainly lovely... but they've derailed, taken it too far, and consequently I've lost interest.

I'm happy for the people who can or will enjoy it, but it's definitely no longer for me! Goodbye Farmtown, I won't be coming back.

Roland!! my sweet boy
