#I'm so sad the tumblr year in review thing isn't happening this year
Note
1, 2, 4, 11, and 18 for the end of year asks? :0
Aaah thankyou Echo!!! This post might be long, please forgive me!
1. Did you add any F/Os to your list this year? Were they from new media or just a newly discovered love?
Here's every romantic F/O added to the list this year, or at least that I can remember adding this year. Years are long and my sense of time is very warped so it may not be fully accurate.
Most are from new media, or just new parts of media, like the end of the Owl House and the New Pokemon Games. The ones that are new loves from re-visits are Heracross, Smeargle, and Keckleon from Monster Mind, Mario and Luigi from Super Mario, Makarov from Fairy Tail, and Jill from The Wayward Children series.
Though Mario and Luigi are also what I consider my first F/Os, they weren't officially on the list until the movie came out, so I'm counting them in the 2023 yearly wrap.
2. Did you reconsume any of your F/Os’ source media this year? How did you feel about the rewatch/listen/read/etc?
I rewatch Assassination Classroom every year in March and it makes me cry every time. I also replay Hatoful Boyfriend and Holiday Star every December for Kazuaki and Hitori, watch Baka and Test sometime around late Summer most years to ease my seasonal depression, and rewatch Mushishi at least once a year.
Other than that, nothing super meaningful. I rewatched a few LPs of Mario games, replayed through Paper Mario myself, watched Romantic Killer again, Reread Manly Appetites every other month or so, watched The Cat Returns once or twice, played more Pokemon, Restarted Monster Mind (still haven't finished it), and skimmed the Ouran Manga at the library while waiting for them to replace the volume they're missing.
HOWever, this latest reread of Down Among the Sticks and Bones is what got me to finally put Jill on the F/O list, so that feels worth mentioning. I love that book <3
4. Was there anything on your blog that you were particularly proud of this year?
No, not really. My drawings were all very incomplete and sketchy this year with long gaps between them, and my writing really flaked off suddenly, I haven't written more than a paragraph at all this year.
I wouldn't say I'm particularly proud of them, but I did really enjoy making moodboards last month and am kind of waiting for my health to settle so I can get back to them. Making stuff for other self shippers is a lot more fun than writing/drawing for myself atm.
11. Was there new media for any of your F/Os this year? If so, what was your opinion on it?
Yes FNaF Help Wanted 2 came out and gave us New Sun Content and I LOVED IT!!!!! He's such a bitch!!!! A shit!!! A snobby theater kid!!! He's so controlling and harsh I LOVE him <3 So happy to know more about him honestly and that he's not all UwU Caregiver that the fandom made him. I like soft characters, but he's a HORROR character he needs to be a little fucked up!!
18. Did you have a favorite trend in the selfship community from the past year?
I'll be honest, I don't pay much attention to what other people in the selfship community are doing. I follow the tags but if there's like a popular trend thing going around, I miss it every time.
My LEAST favorite right now though is the whole "Stolen from an Anti" thing. I have no qualms about stealing posts it's whatever, but I hate when it's says that in text at the bottom of the post. Just tag it as such so I can filter it please
#Thankyou for asking#Long post#Sorry sorry for the long post I wanted to put all the photos in there!!!!#Aaaah I've been wanting to go back to Monster Mind for a few weeks now but I'm#Soooooo sick I don't have the energy for it#And my MOUSE KEEPS DOUBLE CLICKING#Which would be back for a puzzle game...#Augh... anyway......#Thankyou so much for asking Echo#I'm so sad the tumblr year in review thing isn't happening this year#I really really like seeing who I posted the most about this year...#And using it to make a new banner#Hm what should I do then... I didn't do a Halloween one this year...#I don't wanna just wait till February for my birthday one...#But I can't.... draw.... right now..........#Augh......#I'll figure it out

I need to rant about this because it happens time and time again
Person: able bodied people introducing a disablrd character just to have them to be sad about it and suddenly being cured and being happy is ableist
Other person, umprompted: YEAH WELL I'M DISABLED AND WISH I WAS CURED SO IT'S NOT
OH MY GOD SHUT UP, YOU'RE A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY IT'S BAD, THAT SHIT TEACHES DISABLED PEOPLE THEY'RE BAD AND SHOULD FEEL BAD AND HOPE FOR A MAGICAL CURE BECAUSE IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN YOU'RE USELESS WHICH IS SHITTY.
Picture a child that's disabled, may it be by birth or by accident, they never see people like them and makes them sad. Then they hear of a show with someone with their disability and they're excited, but when they watch the character is either belittled or is just used as pity that apparently it makes them useless and that they're wrong until they're "fixed" and everything is great. Imagine the sadness of that child, maybe the start of self hate.
Because it's likely they will never ever see a character that isn't that or just toxic positivity, imagine the resentment at themself.
Congratulations, you wanting this stuff to maintain causes this to happen to a lot of kids.

My #1 post of 2022
I look at this fucked up character and analyze for a bit before going "oh, they had a hellish childhood with lack of good parental support, having lost much of their autonomy, probably even having people try getting rid of it once and for all by trying to control their emotions making them cling to anything where they can get autonomy, even if it's murder or any other violence because that's the biggest factor of autonomy, being able to decide if someone lives or dies." and adding them to my kin list

y'all, I just read the blog post about susie and there are many emotions!!!!
The final line was what really made me laugh out loud though, like Noelle sweetie, apple shampoo? To make Susie notice you? That's so... sad.
And reading about how kris acted before the game starts is interesting.

idk if it's a random chance thing but when I open this page, it's a sleepy annoying dog and when you click on it there is a sweet little lullaby tune playing. I actually like this song, and I wonder where it's from or when it could be used in game

I actually convinced my neighbors to come over to bake cookies and then watch In Space with Markiplier. It was great, but since it's so long the two of them had to go before we finished part 1.
let me rephrase this. Guys, I actually did it, I convinced other human beings to watch my current obsession with me. Whether they enjoyed it is a different question...
i'm just kidding. but yeah that was fun, can't believe that happened, wooh!

Gravitate | Bokuto Kotaro + Akaashi Keiji
SYNOPSIS: You're annoyed Akaashi is smarter than you and confused at the man hiding in a cabinet.
READER: gender neutral
WORDS: 2670
WRITTEN: 03/11/2021
NOTES: @babierin suggested enemies to lovers in general, but that's the one trope I don't like but I ended up coming up with this and it's the longest thing I've ever written on Tumblr as of today. If you squint, the way they get together is totally realistic lol
You did your best in your studies in order to get good grades. Your parents drilled it into your head that if you got terrible grades, you'd end up homeless.
Even though you were now a teenager and knew that they were exaggerating, it was still a possibility, so you continued to study hard.
You didn't have to be ranked number one at Fukurōdani, but having a goal kept you occupied, even though it messed with your mental health and sleep schedule.
Another factor that messed with you getting number one was Akaashi Keiji. He was smart and the two of you often switched between first and second place.
It annoyed you. It made you feel inferior—as if your hard work had been for nothing. But because you were a sensible person, you were sure he was working hard for number one as well, but you wanted to be first.
Fukurōdani sent out monthly scores of each subject, and you usually ranked first in math and science, while Akaashi usually beat you in English and history.
You occasionally stayed after school to study since being at home with your parents hovering around you stressed you out.
Akaashi was usually on your mind. He was attractive, yes, and on top of being smart, he was an athlete. It made you feel even more inferior because you weren't an athlete. You didn't have anything rigorous that took up your time after school and on weekends. All you did was study.
You sighed as you walked into the science room to finish up a lab alone. You wanted everything to be precise, so when it came to labs, you were always the last person to turn the paper and data in.
Your teacher entrusted you with his classroom since he knew what a good and trustworthy student you were. Plus, the janitor was on campus in case anything happened.
You walked to the sink to wash your hands. Once you were finished, you looked around for something to dry your hands with.
You didn't see any paper towels or clean rags so you bent down to the cabinet underneath the sink and opened it.
"WHAT THE F—"
You fell onto your butt at the person hiding inside the cabinet. He looked at you, equally as shocked and frightened.
"Bo-Bokuto? What are you doing in there?" you asked.
He was your classmate in math and was in your year, so you knew him. Plus, he was often the talk of the school because of the volleyball team and girls having an interest in him.
He sniffled. "Nothing."
"How did you even fit in there?" you asked. "Are you stuck? Should I get help? What about Akaashi?"
You weren't an idiot. You knew Bokuto rarely went anywhere without his best friend, and to see either one without the other was very rare.
Bokuto pouted and shoved his face between his knees, ignoring your question.
You sat on the floor, blinking and waiting for an answer. He clearly didn't want to talk, so you were forced to move past it.
"Are there any paper towels in there?" you asked.
He reached behind him, angling his arm at what looked like an uncomfortable position, and grabbed a paper roll for you.
You took it from his hands and got up from the floor to wash your hands again, then dried them.
"Um—thank you," you said as you leaned your body to the side to peer into the dark cabinet. "Should I... Should I close it?"
He shook his head between his knees, so you left the door open for him and put your goggles on, occasionally checking on him while you finished up your lab.
He was supposed to be in practice at this time, so you were fairly certain that something must have happened during practice since he wasn't wearing his uniform, instead opting for loose clothes.
Once you were finished and began to throw away the materials in the correct bins and clean the tubes and table, you could hear Bokuto bumping into the cabinet as he wrangled his body out.
You waited for him to crawl out of the cabinet before walking to the sink to wash your hands and dry them.
"Are you feeling better?" you asked.
He nodded.
You had never seen him so quiet before. It was a bit unsettling and you weren't the type of person to leave someone alone when they were upset.
"Um—Are you thirsty? I can get you something." When he didn't answer, you added, "Or we could go together? I'm done with my lab here anyway."
He nodded and you grabbed your school bag, freezing for a moment when he grabbed the hem of your sweater. You quickly shook off your shock and continued walking, allowing him to hold onto your sweater.
You led him to a vending machine outside and got water for him since you weren't sure what he liked and that was the safest option.
The two of you sat on a bench outside, enjoying the cool air. He opened the water and drank from it while you held a can of warm coffee as a hand-warmer.
"Don't you have to go back to practice?"
He pouted.
"Right. What made you so upset?"
"Akaashi," he mumbled.
You let out a sigh of relief. That was the first thing he said to you since you found him in the cabinet.
"Did he do something?"
"He yelled at me."
You didn't see Akaashi as the type to yell at someone. He was usually very calm, so Bokuto must have done something.
"How come?" you asked.
"He said I was being too loud—that I was annoying."
"Did he apologize?"
"I ran away," said Bokuto.
"Well, maybe if you go back now, he'll apologize and the two of you can make up. I don't mean for this to be rude, but it's odd when you two aren't together. You guys are best friends, right?"
He nodded and took in a deep breath. "You're right, Y/N! I'll go back now. Thanks!"
He had a bright smile on his face, completely contrasting with his sullen expression a few seconds ago. He quickly got up from the bench and ran away with the water, leaving you alone on the bench with a warm can of coffee between your hands. You stared after him in confusion.
"How'd he know my name?" you mumbled.
He never once interacted with you before and you didn't introduce yourself to him, so he couldn't have known your name. You were supposed to be a background character to him.
The next day during break, you were reviewing the notes you took in class when a loud voice called out for you.
"Y/N!"
You looked up, startled, to see Bokuto waving to you through the door. You glanced around and slowly waved at him. He beckoned for you to come over, so you did.
Once you were by the threshold, you noticed Akaashi was there. The two of you locked eyes before you averted them to look at Bokuto instead.
You felt self-conscious with how much taller the two of them were and how good they looked in their school uniforms.
"Did you need something?" you asked.
Bokuto grinned. "I wanted to say thanks for yesterday."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm guessing you two made up."
"Yeah!"
Akaashi nodded and held out a can of coffee to you. You glanced at him and took it from his hand, noticing his slender fingers.
"Bokuto noticed you got this brand yesterday," said Akaashi.
You mainly got it as a hand-warmer, but you didn't mind drinking coffee.
"Thank you," you said. "You didn't have to."
"He told me you took care of him, so it's the least we could do," Akaashi explained.
You nodded. "Right. Is that all?"
Bokuto and Akaashi glanced at each other before leaning in. Your eyes darted between the two, noticing how close they were to you.
"Bokuto likes you a lot," said Akaashi.
"Huh?"
"You're really pretty, Y/N," said Bokuto with a grin. "Come to rooftop during lunch. We'll be there!"
Akaashi leaned away and tugged on his sleeve to give you some space. Bokuto leaned away from you after smiling at Akaashi.
"If you don't, it's fine, but Bokuto will be sad if you don't," said Akaashi. "Let's go. Class is starting soon.
"Okay, okay. See you later, Y/N!" Bokuto exclaimed as he walked after Akaashi.
You blinked after the two, heart racing and completely confused.
Class seemed to pass by slowly today. You usually forced yourself to listen to the teacher in order to take notes, but Bokuto's confession was taking up your mind.
When class was over, you quietly took your time going up to the rooftop. You didn't want to first and have to wait for them. Plus, you were so nervous, your legs wouldn't properly move and you had to stop walking on the stairs for a minute to calm your heart.
The door to the rooftop creaked open and you poked your head out to see if they were there. Your heart beat rapidly as Bokuto and Akaashi turned to look at you.
You opened the door further and walked onto the rooftop. You twiddled your thumbs together behind your back as you approached them.
"Hi," you said.
Bokuto grinned. "Hi, Y/N!"
"He wants to date you," said Akaashi. "I don't mind either."
"You don't mind?" you questioned. "I'm sorry. I mean, I just met you two officially. I'm not the type of person to easily date someone, or date in general, actually."
Bokuto looked down at Akaashi and the two had a silent conversation with each other.
"All right!" Bokuto exclaimed, making you flinch in surprise.
He wrapped an arm around Akaashi's shoulders and guided his head to rest on his chest. Akaashi didn't seem to mind as he stared at you.
"Keiji and I are dating," he said.
"H-Huh? Congratulations? What does this have to do with me?"
"We're an open relationship and we both like you," Akaashi explained.
"Both like? You both like me?" you asked. You guys aren't wasting my time, right? This isn't a joke? Because I could be studying right now."
Akaashi chuckled. "I could be too."
You puffed out your cheeks, just now remembering that he was your rival. It was hard to dislike him when he was so attractive and respectful.
"I'll think about it," you said. "This isn't exactly normal for me."
"Don't tell anyone we're dating. We told you because we trust you," said Akaashi.
You nodded. "My lips are sealed. I'm going to go back to my classroom now."
"We'll walk you!" Bokuto exclaimed, sliding his arm off Akaashi to walk over to you.
You had to tilt your head up the closer he got to you. You weren't sure if the two of them walking with you was such a good idea because of how much attention they got.
"Don't bother her," Akaashi scolded, making Bokuto pout. "We'll see you later, Y/N."
You nodded and bowed to them before scurrying away. You wished you didn't glance over your shoulder as the door closed. The sight of the two men kissing was something that would keep you up at night.
Neither Akaashi or Bokuto bothered you in the following week. You appreciated that since studying and retaining information was difficult because of them.
You found yourself thinking about the kiss they shared on the rooftop whenever you took a break from studying. You had to keep your mind occupied so that you wouldn't think about it.
Currently, you were in science class—the very same room where Bokuto hid in a cabinet. The class was almost over and everyone was cleaning up their materials.
"Y/N."
You looked up from washing your hands to see Akaashi. You swore this cabinet and sink was haunting you.
"You're smart."
"Thank you," you replied.
"Care to study with me after school? I don't have practice."
"Oh, yeah, sure."
You were certain there wasn't a catch. He seemed like a gentleman and was always there to reign Bokuto back.
"My house is close to the school, so we can walk there together," he said.
"Sounds good."
He briefly smiled at you before moving past you to wash his hands.
Your heart was beating fast for no reason. It was just studying. At least, you hoped it was.
He waited for you by the entrance of the school after school and the two of you walked together to his house.
His room was exceptionally clean for a boy, but it made sense to you. He pulled out a table from under his bed and extended it.
"Could you help me with math? I can quiz you on history," he said.
The fact that he knew which subjects you didn't rank first in made you want to hit him, even though he didn't do anything wrong.
You nodded, and the two of you sat down, taking out your notebooks and supplies.
Studying with Akaashi was quite enjoyable. He made things easy to understand but didn't treat you like you were inferior. In return, you did your best to explain math both verbally and visually.
"I hope you're considering our offer seriously," said Akaashi, interrupting your train of thought.
You played with the pencil in your hand. "I am. Kind of. It's just hard for me to wrap my head around. Neither of you ever talked to me to know me well."
"That's true, but just because we never talked to you, doesn't mean we never talked about you," he retorted. "I talked about you a lot to Bokuto."
"What'd you say?"
"How I'm never ranked first in math or science because of you. It was irksome, but because of that, I started paying more attention to you. Bokuto noticed and got a bid pouty, but then started to notice you too. You're really pretty and noticeable, Y/N. You just don't notice it. You'd always pass by us during breaks and our eyes naturally gravitated to you. You never even spared us a glance."
"Oh. Sorry," you mumbled. "I'm usually thinking about whatever I just learned."
"I know. You never watch where you're going because of that. We once saw you run into a door."
You winced. "You saw that? That's so embarrassing."
"It was cute. So, about our offer..."
He looked so serious now that you couldn't look away from him despite your fast heartbeat and flushed face.
"I've never dated someone before, let alone two people at the same time, but I'm willing to try. I think you two are...interesting. Besides, I thought about you a lot too. You're my rival, after all."
You did think about Akaashi a lot. He was always on your mind, even though it was mainly about how smart he was and how he always bested you.
"What about me?"
The closet door slid open and you let out a scream when Bokuto's body came wiggling out.
"Sorry, he thought it was unfair I got you all to myself," said Akaashi with an apologetic expression.
"Do you like me too?" Bokuto questioned as he walked over to you and knelt in front of you, placing his face into his hands.
"Well, yeah, I guess so. You're cute like a puppy," you answered.
He grinned. "You're cute too!"
You squealed as he tackled you to the floor, wrapping his arms around you for a tight hug. Akaashi wrapped his hand around the table, making sure you didn't hit your head on the edge. Bokuto had a similar idea as he placed his hand on the back of your head so that wouldn't hit the floor.
Akaashi smiled. "I'll get some drinks and snacks."
"You're going to leave me here?" you called out as Bokuto nuzzled his cheek against yours.
"You'll have to get used to it, Y/N. Kotaro's a touchy person."

@pumpkin-bread - a happy birthday lair review for you! I could look through your lair ten times and find ten entirely different groups of dragons to review--it's so stunning and goodness, I cannot imagine the amount of effort it took for you to write all that lore. You continue to be one of my biggest inspirations in the FR community--it's not every day you see someone write lore for such a large lair! As someone who often feels lost amidst the sea of dragons they possess, it's so refreshing to know that, no, it isn't an impossible struggle to write lore for every single one. I take heart in knowing that, someday, I'll be able to fill my lair with amazing stories like you have. Now, I'm done being sappy--it's time to review some lore dragons! (pardon the lack of lair order in the review--my tabs went all wonky as I browsed XD )
Dorothy's lore is so creative and honestly kinda sad! This poor kid can't manage to get it all right--sure, his life now is better than it was when he was essentially a cash cow for his parents, but it still sucks a lot to be isolated from any sort of draconic affection. It seems some changes have happened to the Manor where he lives (is he truly alone now?)...I hope he'll eventually be able to find his ideal life through them.
Misto's lore is 10/10--what a fun concept! I feel so bad for this poor man...he just wants to make some dang coffee and his past simply won't leave him alone. His outfit totally gives coffeemaker vibes as well, and I love how well the mane matches his shirt and pants!
I don't know if I've ever mentioned to you how much I love Amberspire's lore so I just want to take Anya (who is stunning) as an example of why the Amberspire lore is so dang good. I love the concept of a seemingly "pure" and wealthy city hiding such a "dark" and corrupt social hierarchy. I can't imagine the sort of things Anya has seen and done over the course of her time as Pepper's right hand, and what sorts of strings the two of them pull in the background to keep the city running to specifications of its "true" rulers. It's so clear that your lair has a history to it--a history built on years of revision and tweaking. I love that there are generations of residents...that the old leader has retired to let a "puppet" heir take the her place. I'm too attached to my clan's leader to let the effects of time really have that kind of effect on my lore but, dang, reading Amberspire's story really makes me wish I would sometimes. I know this has nothing really to do with Anya but I just wanted to ramble, dangit XD
Malygos' lore is simple but so fun and fitting! The trope of a grumpy old mentor/healer is timeless and never ceases to appeal to me. He makes a great member of the guard, and his contributions are certainly quite vital to the runnings of such an advanced guard program! Lovely colors as well <3
Speaking of favorite tropes, I absolutely adore Penny the lighthearted mechanic! It's always good to see (read about?) people/dragons who take genuine joy in their work, and Penny is no exception. Such a fun persona! And, boy, do I relate with the idea of not knowing when to let a job be. Just like Penny, my friends have had to force me to leave my projects for long enough to stretch and have a meal XD
Golly, Lytra is stunning. I love the contrast of her dark accent with her bright colors! And that lore...bless her heart, I can't imagine what it would have been like for her first failure in the Shade-purging trade to be someone so close to her. I'm glad she's been able to move on somewhat through her travels and new experiences!
Ushi's colors intrigued me, and I found his lore quite delightful! The contrast between his role as a singer and his shy personality is so wonderful and I can totally picture him transitioning from singing his heart out to mumbling out words when asked a question.
I have a soft spot for dragons that stand in for beastclans and other non-dragon creatures, so I had to spotlight Haku in this little review! He's got such a fun and pleasant character, and I love the idea of a member of such a "bloodthirsty" species farming in peace. You always do such a good job of creating fun contrasts!
Embermere's colors are so gorgeous, and I love that he (essentially) gambled his success in life on shooting his shot--and it worked? He and Queen Requiem make an intriguing pair to be sure, and I love that their initial "spark" has now settled out into a genuinely loving relationship. (also, how wholesome is that origin story for him as an ~actual~ dragon (not his history, just how you got him)? the people of FR are their own special breed, I've gotta say ;o; )
Tombolo caught me eye right as I started my browse through your lair, and, reading his bio, I am just in awe of what a special dragon he is? As a relative newbie to FR, it's hard to imagine a time where triples didn't exist. The fact that he was the first ever triple marigold to exist on site is a tremendous feat! And his lore is wonderful as well--it continues that amazing sense of history in your lair. I can tell that his story has evolved right alongside the rest of your clan, and that will never stop being cool to me ;o;
....since when has there been an image limit on Tumblr posts??? this review isn't done (I've got exactly ten more dragons left to review lol) so be on the lookout for the second post!

Happy new year everyone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I know 2020 has been hard for everyone.
And I want everyone to know, suffering isn't a contest and we all suffer in different ways. But I feel I should give my year in Review. Just some things that happened to me personally.
This was an intense, and long and spiritual and emotional journey for me...
I really discovered what it meant to have community, family and what my life means to me.
But I feel I need to get this in writing cause I can remember the year with vivid detail and I will probably forget if I don't get it down.
Do I have to share this publically online to my tumblr account for a bunch of strangers to see? not really.
Do I want to?
Yes. I think so. Just from how so many people on tumblr and real life have touched me.
This is kinda long and no one needs to read this.
(idk how to do a readmore on mobile. But this is where I would add it later. No one needs to read if they don't want to.)
January/February: (and some background on the last five years of my life cause.....well. it's important.)
As people knew, I got way into Invader Zim last summer. I spent most of my waking life working a dead end job at a grocery store. I lived a sad lonely life, going straight home to a single dark studio apartment. With not many material possessions outside of games, my laptop and my tablet to my name. Half of my material loves, such as home furnishings and books were still in boxes from when I moved in. In case I ever had to move again, or get some "big screenshot or copywriter" job in the city.
....
I lived in that city in the same dead end job and apartment for five years.
No friends. No social life. I often refused to make doctor appointments or attempt to establish myself in that city. I didn't even talk to anyone in my workplace.
Work. Go online. Go to sleep.
I lived like that for five years.
I thought it was good.
Even my therapist thought I was doing well.
When I really wasn't. My main character flaw I struggle with is motivation.
I can talk to someone about very detailed plans I have to fix a problem... But I tend to never follow through.
Just because I can describe in detail how to fix my personal problems, it doesn't mean I will do it.
(I have gotten better at this but it's a major struggle)
I might have been a Zombie during the day...
But by night I was pouring my soul into my AU and my analysis.
After being so thoughly ignored or overlooked by the Naruto fandom and the Undertale fandom, I felt like I had finally found my home and was settling into a community there.
I just loved that people loved what I had to say.
Especially my AU.
It's no secret that a lot of themes in my au revolve around found family, grief, and loss.......
Fatherhood, in particular.
What it means to be a father, how much do you need to try when you mess up, how willing should a child forgive their parent, especially those that have wronged you and how much of it is factually accurate and simply a self projection of what children want their parents to be and visa versa... What amount of forgiveness and change is nessasary...is it needed?
....
It's no secret that a lot of my AU is a giant coping mechanism for my Dad's death. Espessially the falling out and growing closer with a lot of my family members throughout the years following his death. (Most of the time I keep it ambiguous to how it relates to my personal life unless I include a readmore that states so outright. I feel my au can be enjoyed by a variety of people in the fandom who don't need to know me as a person or my life story.)
My Dad passed away in 2016 in February and my family still feels the aftershocks to this day.
It's part of the reason I moved to the city, alienated myself from my family and people that loved me and refused to experience life for five years.
My entire world was Zim, and I was okay.
March: When America finally realized and started to feel the effects of the pandemic....
A lot of people got scared.
Me included.
I didn't have any streaming services or access to the news. So I only heard accounts from my mom.
I didn't understand why the store was so dead quiet and empty for a few days, then it went into mass chaos and panic in the span of two days.
It felt like Retail black friday in the worst way. Everyone was packed like sardines. Everyone was yelling. The lines at the registers bled into the clothing department.
I was witness to customers shoving others for toilet paper, being rude to cashier's and just overall unpleasantness.
At the time, I didn't even fully grasp what the pandemic was, and I feel a lot of people at the time didn't either.
I ended up absentmindedly scratching my eyebrow in front of a customer and she screamed and villanised me for it. That they didn't want groceries touched by my "unclean hands"
I ended up breaking down into tears.
The customer behind me gave me a hug and told me I was doing a great job.
But the damage was done. It was the final straw, I couldn't stop crying and I was breaking apart.
Thankfully my Boss (the one who likes me) pulled me aside and asked what's wrong.
It was then that I quit. No notice. Same day. I had to get out of there.
I was planning to move to an apartment with my sister in the summer, but my Mom offered for me to move back in with her temperarily just so I can get out of the city and away from the pandemic.
So I did.
I got scared, broke my lease a month early and quit my job of five years that gave me nothing back.
He told me, "take care of yourself and your family, I won't keep you here, do what you need to do."
So I did.
April-June:
A very eventful few months.
My mom offered for me to live at her place, but for some reason she was acting like I would live there forever. That this wasn't a temporary arrangement, and that I didn't have an apartment set up already.
This was in large part to my sister, who had lived with my mom taking advantage of her for years.
Even though my sister and I were going to move in together, I was just never sure about it cause of how she never packed her stuff or made any effort to find a job.
My mom often acted like I was lazy and not searching and was treating me like... Well, an unruly teenager instead of a woman of 29 years. She acted like I was a failure for returning home when it was her idea in the first place.
I would have just been petrified in the city.
Like usual, I retreated to my au again.... And in the spring, something eventful happened.
In may, 8th 2020:
I was invited by @rissynicole to join an invader zim discord.
Now, I've never really used discord before. I always thought it's interface is too confusing.. and I'm a member of a few other iz discords and I usually don't follow them that closely.
Rissy assured me it was different cause some friends of thiers made it and it was smaller.
Before I knew it, I was sharing memes and getting to know everyone there.
It wasn't long after I invited my partner in IZ crimes, @paketdimensioncomic who was genuinely wary of iz servers due to a bad experience with the last one they were a part of.
But soon they were sharing memes and laughing with everyone else.
My eyes were starting to open and I was able to connect to fans of my work in an interpersonal way. And I was able to discover new artists and aus I never knew about.
I was also able to meet so many others of the community and invite them to the server myself.
The moo-ping 10 server kept me sane while I was living with my judgmental mother.
Not only that, the summer was very productive for my au.
Drawing was all I did, and it was a huge break from the job as a cashier I had.
Not only that, June came, and with it, me and Ceph's first collab fic:
A result of us just going back and forth in our DMs constantly about Professor Membrane and how he changed in ETF for the better and how much we adamantly stan "trying-to-be-a-good-dad-brane" and how much of his ETF development has to be implied off screen in order for the emotional resolution in the movie to matter.
The only reason I never professed my love for Membrane as a character in the fandom before the fic dropped was.... Well....
Membrane can be a decisive character in the fandom and I was so worried people would hate me if I did an analysis on him, simply because he's not the best parent in the world. (As an understatement)
Ceph and I really encouraged each other to scream our love for the science himbo loud and proud more frequently and so often.... I actually start to see less Membrane hate posts and breakdowns then their used to be.... I like to think it's a combination of Me and Ceph's influence, along with ETF and the Quarterly's painting Membrane in a slightly more nuanced light then he was previously.
I never wrote a collab fic before and it's such a rewarding and fun and unique experience that I don't think I'll ever have again. And I love working with Ceph on our fics so much.
So much so we did it again...
July-August:
I never thought I would be one of those people who writes NSFW IZ fic... But here I am.
The Brainbrane au started.... An au of my au where Membrane and the Computer fall in love and Membrane makes him a body.
This ship was based around the idea where we joked that Membrane and Zim's Computer would have funny interactions if they ever met, under the pretense Membrane thinks Computer is Zim's parent.
Our headcanons morphed and shifted until we just full blown started shipping them.
Just because Membrane and Zim's Computer have overall REALLY entertaining chemistry.
It's a character dynamic never seen in the show or comics (yet) and I imagine thier interactions to be nothing but entertaining banter.
The fic was also born from spite... Making fun of the troupes and cliches that we found personally destestible in some questionable zadr fics.
So an angry ace and a demi-bisexual collab on a porn and end up blessing the fandom with
Compapa headcanons,
Computer being recognized as a more common used fanon character,
The ship of Brainbrane.
The fandom having a crisis of "oh God, not only are we xenophiles we're technophiles too!!!" Or "why you gotta give Zim's Computer an ass"
More android Computer designs
It was an eventful summer.
In the midst of all this, I moved into my new place, got a new job, and I was able to see my friend (who is def my platonic straight soul mate) who lives in Indiana.
She came to visit, showed me how to decorate and how to take care of my body better! Things were looking up! It was great.
September-November:
My job was at a boat store. If was approaching the fall and my hours were being severely cut.
I was getting into a rut of depression again.
I thought things were changing but the same routine I was trying to escape from was the same thing coming back.
But instead of letting it take hold, I decided I was going to do something about it... I was gonna visit a museum and go with my sister. Just... variety stimulation.
Well that didn't happen.
I talked about this shortly in my au itself...but..
My sister had a complete mental breakdown.
She stopped taking her meds, went off the deep end and was in the hospital a total of five times throughout November.
A lot of it was acting out and the perfect storm of environmental factors that made her scream and act out so she would keep going back to the hospital.
It was traumatizing for me.
I just can't explain what it's like. For her and for me to be in that position.
I'm not telling the full story and a lot of bullshit things happened I won't share here.
She got diagnosed with bipolar one and my mom expected me to be a caretaker for her.
I threatened to disown my family and move away out of state.
It was just too much for me to handle.
So much I was a nervous wreck.
I tried to pick up a second job... Cause my sister was in the mental ward so frequently and couldn't pay the bills.
But I was fired within a week cause I was so stressed I couldn't retain the basic information they were training me for.
It was an office job.
My dream.
It could have been.
I was fired from something I really wanted.
I was only there for three days.
I could not retain any information.
I was a mess.
My sister was a trigger, my mom wanted me to live with her. I couldn't live like this.... I had to get out.
I had to get out.
December:
Remember my Indiana friend?
Well the first week of December is my birthday.
My 30th to be exact.
While I did pick up a seasonal position at Target (not my first pick)
I took the first week of December off so I could spend time with her. Cause she agreed, I needed a break from this crap.
Surviving 30 years is cause to celebrate and if I had to celebrate with my sister I would have cried.
I know there was a risk traveling out of state during a pandemic...
But I needed out, I needed a friend..
And I kinda wanted to look at the place since I was considering moving there.
My friend's mom was sick so she avoided me and her daughter and got us a hotel room.
It was fun! I got to swim in a salt water pool, we talked about Naruto, I showed her the iz and su art books I brought, also Computer and Membrane tea.
I also got to meet her other friends and get crunk. And her bf who is super nice and funny!
I had a super fun birthday....
Until her mom told my friend that her grandparents had covid and that was what she had. And my friend got sick within that same day.... As did I.
I owe so much to her family.
I was an entire state away...about a ten hour drive from home.... She let me stay at her house. "The covid house" we called it.
Cause everyone (except the father. He avoided everyone and booked a hotel immediately cus he was an ER doctor) had covid within a day.
I called in, the test results were positive and I had to stay with her family for ten days quarantine before I could work again.
Which would have been fine....
If my tumblr didn't log me out perminately of my old account. @dana-chan325 .... Which really sucked cause I had a constant headache and was too sick to engage with tumblr or much of the fandom. I didn't want to make a new account when my head was in a bad fog and I could barely breathe or smell.
It's not like I saw much of my friend either.... We all slept at different hours and she had more symptoms then I did.
It was just netflix, danganronpa v3 and cry.
I was miserable, but at the same time.... Not?
I really feel like God himself was the one who pulled me off from tumblr, and my living situation.
Maybe a whole extra week feeling like a bobblehead was what I needed.
It gave me some much needed clarity on my relationships with my mom and sis and friend.
Running away to Indiana was not the solution here.
Once I was better within ten days and no longer had a leave of absence, I drove home.
I am glad I fully recovered (but from how I understand it, my dear friend is still ill. I'm praying for her)
I might have gone to work a bit too soon, cause I had an asthma attack after trying to unload a single cart in the span of six hours.
My boss lectured that my speed was unacceptable, and even though I explained the covid situation and breathing problems many times, she threatened that I'd be fired if I'm that slow again.
Que the next few days of work where they put me on register.
Instantly I was sent into a panic remembering the last time I was on the register and how that panic attack caused me to quit.
I even asked if I could go back to stocking, since my breathing had improved. My boss assured me that I was put on the register cause they needed help and nothing to do with my covid thing.
Then as December concluded and the new year began, my boss said that this was the last shift for me cause my position was seasonal and they were letting a lot of people go.
I then asked why I was on the schedule for Sunday, and he told me to ignore it and I'm free to reapply for full-time.
I mean.... They can act smart about it...
But putting your general merchandise stocker onto register after she had an asthma attack and missed working the first two weeks of December due to covid.....
Not a good look.
So once again, I'm jobless once more.
Will probably continue to live with my sister for awhile.
But I do not feel as if it's a bad thing....
I met so many good people this year....
My friend's family even gave me 500 usd to cover my rent since I couldn't work for a majority of December.
I've seen evil and good from humanity this year. I've seen acts of god, good friends and what my real family means to me as well as friends I consider family.
This year really made me look back at the person in the mirror and say,
"I deserve better."
And actually worked for it this time.
Oh and after Christmas I got a horrible yeast infection that burns over most of my body currently.
Very accurate doodle to the pain I'm in right now.
(seriously my body is a fungus.)
But hey, good news, I respected myself enough to go to the doctor about it!!
So that's progress.
I really hope 2021 holds good things for me.
Thank you to the mooping 10 server for always being there and keeping me sane,
Thank you tumblr for liking my au and everything.
AND A SUPER SPECIAL THANK YOU TO @evartandadam and her family for housing me and my dumb diseased ass. Everyone, she is an angel and I can't express how much she means to me. Please check out her art and buy her stuff on redbubble.
Anyways... Byebye 2020.
I look forward to what I can accomplish for myself this year.

T.V. Shows I Refuse to Watch the Last Episode of
Community: By the end of the show [SPOILERS] We are missing both Shirley and Troy (and Pierce, but who cares). I like a majority of the episodes without them despite this, but when you get to the last episode it doesn't help my sadness to be missing two of my favorite characters.
The Good Place: This episode just makes me sad and existential. I'm just going to pretend the gang stays together forever.
A Series of Unfortunate Events: I refuse to believe the show ends.
How I Met Your Mother: Just... The show's so good and the ending is so bad. The alternate ending is good, but it's not the one on Hulu. I'm enraged.
Chuck: What was that ending? This show is too long and too short at the same time.

DuckTales 2017 - “The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!”
Story by: Francisco Angones, Madison Bateman, Colleen Evanson, Christian Magalhaes, Ben Siemon, Bob Snow, Tanner Johnson
Written by: Colleen Evanson & Tanner Johnson
Storyboard by: Vince Aparo, Kristen Gish, Victoria Harris, Ben Holm
Directed by: Tanner Johnson
Spin it!
Before doing research when Don Karnage first came to the series, my knowledge of TaleSpin began and ended with me having that awful Genesis game as a kid. I do know that the show took place long before the modern day, which is when DuckTales 2017 takes place, and it appears that the events of TaleSpin in this universe still goes with that. Why do I know this? Because this episode does not start with Baloo piloting the Sea Duck...
...but a grown-up version of his surrogate son, Kit Cloudkicker, who is now running Higher for Hire by himself. However, while things have definitely changed for Higher for Hire since Baloo's apparent retirement, mostly for the worse, some things remained the same. Namely, he is still being tormented by the nefarious Sky Pirate of the Skies, the corsair of the air, Don Karnage. Or Dan, as he calls him much to Karnage's annoyance. The good news is that Kit is now an ace pilot who can easily fight off sky pirates like he did back in the glory days. The bad news is that he can still do what he did as a kid with a giant cargo plane. He even says it, and with most of his dialogue in this cold opening suggests this is going to make him look foolish.
Even worse news for the business is that the fragile box addressed to F.O.W.L. is just sitting in the center of the cargo bay with no security whatsoever aside from a caged chicken and a goat. After rocking back and forth due to Kit fending off against Don Karnage, the box breaks to reveal a rock with a blue lion carved into it, and when that aforementioned chicken and goat touch it, they both turn into some sort of chicken-goat hybrid that Kit has to fight. How is able to fight this goat-chicken while piloting the plane? Simple: he puts a crowbar in the steering wheel, just like Baloo did in the original. Here, the idea is played as silly as it would be to someone who had never heard of TaleSpin. It is doubly sad when one considers Kit treats this crowbar like his only crewmate, because it is.
I do like that this first scene introduces this show's version of Kit very well. He's obviously an incompetent pilot, and not one that is lovably incompetent like Launchpad, and this incompetence is pretty well known among his customers judging by this line:
Kit Cloudkicker: Who's the terrible pilot now, everyone?
He's surprisingly cheerful about that, which, again, makes him look foolish. Despite all of this foolishness, he does appear to still be competent at coming up with plans to defeat his enemies, whether they be sky pirates or mutated goat-chickens, even if those plans end up putting the cargo he was supposed to deliver into the water. This includes that lion stone. He looks onto this and says "my bad" in a way that shows that his business is definitely going to be in the red in a few years.
A few years later, we see that Della is taking Huey, Dewey, and nobody else to Cape Suzette, and she's even allowing Dewey to fly the plane along with her. It is easy to see why Huey is extra prepared even if Dewey is doing surprisingly well, as Huey is not only using extra seatbelts, but having a Safety Boy helmet as well. Huey's also prepared with the knowledge of that Lion Stone we saw go into the ocean in the previous scene, which, you guessed it, is a Missing Mystery of Isabella Finch. Specifically, it's the Stone Of What Was, which was described with the mysterious phrase "what was once two becomes a-new." Huey does not seem to figure that one out. The good news is that it was found, but the bad news was that it was found by F.O.W.L, but the better news is that they lost it, but the worse news was that the stone was made of potassium benzoate. Okay, that last one was made up. There's a few throwaway lines to fill in how Huey even knows F.O.W.L. had the stone in other scenes, and those plot holes are really not that important.
After nearing their destination, which we learn was based on a clue from an intercepted F.O.W.L. transmission from a throwaway line from Huey slightly later in the episode, Della has the bright idea to let Dewey land the plane. Letting a little kid fly a plane? Not a good idea. Letting a little kid land a plane? Also not a good idea. Telling that little kid that there's nothing wrong with a basic landing? May be a good idea in the off chance it could even come up, but definitely not a good idea when it comes to Dewey. To Della's credit, at least it was Huey that did that last one.
After the crash landing, and not a Launchpad-type one, they arrive at Higher for Hire, which shows an advertisement showing its legacy playing on a television screen with plenty of TaleSpin references. This includes one shot of Baloo and another shot of a younger Kit and Molly Cunningham riding on an airfoil done in the style of the original show. This is great for people who were not aware of TaleSpin, which the target audience for this show may not have seen unless they have Disney Plus. Kit, still shown to be the sole employee years later, assumes anyone knocking at his door is the bank demanding payments, but he's delighted to see one of his former classmates at pilot school. He constantly has to tell Della that he is an ace pilot now. Most likely, he's telling that to himself too, as we'll see in the next scene. He at least has reason to believe he's a better pilot than his former classmate, as it doesn't look like her plane is in good shape. Della could have explained that this state was because she let one of her less competent sons fly the plane...and that would have probably made her case about a thousand times worse.
That television commercial also inspires a sort of B-plot that also ties into Kit's character arc, as seeing young Kit cloudkicking makes him want to do it, too. Despite his failure at even mimicking it, Kit is happy to see a fellow cloudkicker and would be glad to teach him the ropes. Della is not too excited by this prospect, but ends up allowing it, because she doesn't want to be the mother that does not support her kid. They aboard the plane, which ends up being a very bumpy ride, and Della goes to investigate, only to find that Kit was in the bathroom, letting his only other employee, the crowbar, be his substitute.
Kit tries to stop what he calls "mutiny" by saying that he's the only one who knows where the cargo could be, only for the crowbar to slip and reveal that he's been keeping a map in the glove compartment. The map actually has some Xs and a circle on it, which suggests that Kit may have been trying to correct his previous mistake, but either never getting the motivation to go through with it, or, more likely, he isn't competent enough to deal with whatever is on that island he circled. Maybe I am thinking about this too hard, but I would say it would be fitting.
Kit decides to distract everyone from him getting kicked out of the pilot's chair by giving Dewey his airfoil and the cloudkicking rope for him to hold onto, and a shot of Dewey's excitement instantly cuts to Dewey screaming for his life, holding on for dear life as he can't seem to. The parallel between a former cloudkicking guy who isn't really a good pilot, and a kid who can actually fly a plane who isn't really a good cloudkicker is easy to notice, and the episode plays around with this. For starters, similar to Kit and his not-so-ace piloting skills, Dewey also tries his hardest to hide how terrified he is at the cool new thing he wanted to do. Of course, it is very possible that Kit is acting the way he does because he's in a certain someone's shadow. Dewey just does it because that's how he is.
Despite that difference, this parallel is enhanced even more when they get attacked by the Sky Pirates, and Kit has to intervene and show that he, at the very least, can get Dewey out of the danger that Kit himself has caused. And yes, Don Karnage's Sky Pirates are now working for the very organization that they indirectly harmed years before by attacking that cargo plane and making them lose that precious stone. That does not come up at all, not even as a throwaway line. What does come up is that Don Karnage is delighted that one of the people after the Stone of What Was is his new arch-nemesis, Dewey. It's a long story that started all the way back in Don's debut in Season 1. It's neat to see these old references. After they all make a landing on the circled island, some more safe than others, they get to meet the wildlife of the island. Let's say there's a good reason why this island was circled, and why Kit could not handle it by himself.
It's a rhino and a gorilla crossed together, either a rhinosorilla or a gorillanoceros depending on whether one likes Dewey's word for it or Kit's. Clearly, this is the result of the Stone of What Was...what was...Wuz...Wuzzles! Admittedly, the Wuzzle was also not a show I grew up with, though that could be because it lasted only a season. In fact, I just now notice the lion carved into the Stone of What Was happens to have bumblebee wings. These animals are a little more realistic here, as they don't talk, and they're not cute or fuzzy like the original Wuzzles were. In fact, the character this gorillanoceros was based on was actually a monkey-rhino. There is a difference, even if they are very similar species genetically!
They eventually get to the stone, only to see that Don Karnage and his crewmates have found the stone first. Hiding, they see Don Karnage command Hardtack Hattie, his strongest crewmember, to lift it up. Unfortunately, she happened to lift it as a bunch of ants were crawling on it, turning her into an ant centaur to her and Don's horror. Despite that horror, and fitting for someone who just wants to finish his mission, he tries to get some of the other crew members to lift it...
...leading to these freaks of nature, which is what Don Karnage actually calls them. DuckTales 2017 isn't too afraid to show the horrifying nature of some of these fusions, continuing with the theme of how they portray the Wuzzles as these monstrous beasts. I would not call it nightmare fuel, but I would not be surprised if it already has an entry on TV Tropes. What makes these even worse is that there is no way for these guys to revert back to their normal forms. There's no "if the stone feels like it, it'll separate you" clause here, that snail-dog is permanently a snail-dog, and that pirate will have to live with a hand for his head for the rest of his days. These guys just end up getting forgotten.
Della tries to sneak by climbing around this horrific scene, only to be caught on some sort of sticky rock. Dewey decides to try to save her with his airfoil-riding skills, much to Huey's disagreement. Dewey's got to Dewey it! Oh yeah, I forgot, Dewey ends up doing "Dewey" puns for most of the episode. It's not funny, but I have a feeling it wasn't meant to be funny, and it's certainly not funny when he ends up falling down near the pirates. Face to face with someone who considers him his arch-nemesis, he tries to save face when he notices Kit stole Don Karnage's plane...which he immediately crashes into a rock.
As for the rock that Della was stuck on, it turns out it wasn't a rock. Nor was it a rock lobster, either!
It hatches into another classic Wuzzle character: the Butterbear, or the Bear-terfly as Don Karnage calls it. They never quite match the original Wuzzle names, and it is not like they would know them. There is one part of this where Kit and the Bear-terfly cross paths, and it almost seems like they're going to bond because they happen to be a similar race. Then, it instantly cuts to Kit running away from a rampaging Bear-terfly. How are they going to continue from this? Have the Bear-terfly get caught in some rope, and have it run in a way that ties up the stone, and have it fly away with Della still on its back. It is a bit convoluted, but it works in the end as it is a way for the stone to travel without it mutating even more people. Whether any of these fusions can use the stone to combine into other fusions is left unanswered, which is for the best.
One may notice I didn't talk a whole lot about what Huey did, and that's because he really didn't do much for most of the episode. He delivered the exposition, he tries to stop Dewey from "Deweying it", and that's about it. However, he does have a major part in the episode: he gets to take part in the scene where the two bumbling fools realize what they have been doing was foolish. Namely, they needed to realize that they should do what they were good at: Kit should cloudkick and Dewey should fly the plane. It is a good lesson that had some good buildup. Sure, they were pretty much failing throughout the episode, but there were scenes where they were surprisingly competent, like the scene where Kit rescued Dewey with his Cloudkicking skills, and Dewey managing to fly the plane in the beginning before he decided to "Dewey it" and crash it. It does not come out of nowhere. Speaking of which...
Dewey: Okay, let's do it.
What would be an unremarkable line actually works really well here, mainly because he decided not to make a pun on his own name, which he did way too much. It does show development, as if this fun-loving showboater is actually learning his lesson throughout the episode. I expect this from DuckTales 2017, and there are certainly cartoons where I don't.
Fittingly for a TaleSpin episode, this all ends with a flight chase scene. No, not the usual DuckTales 2017 fight scene, though there are some fights here and there, especially with Kit and Don Karnage, armed with that crow bar and sword, respectively. The scene actually manages to make Dewey keeping the plane steady an action packed scene, as he has to save his Mom while trying not to let the stone fall into the ocean and make an octopus-fish-squid hybrid that would rival the Eldritch horrors. Again, whether any of these fusions can use the stone to combine into other fusions is left unanswered, which is for the best.
It's not really a spoiler to say the good guys win, but I will say the TaleSpin part of the plot is very much all tied up in the end. If Kit only makes a minor appearance in the finale, and I'd actually be surprised if he didn't appear considering how packed the clips were, it would be completely understandable. Also, there's a cliffhanger and we finally get to hear Don Karnage sing another song, if a very short one. It seemed like he just couldn't do it in his other appearances.
How does it stack up?
With the genius way of using not just one Disney show's legacy, but another Disney show as well, there's a lot to love about this episode, though I wouldn't say it's among the absolute best. Four Scrooges.
Next, Scrooge gets indicted.

People sending you these asks need to calm down, stuff mentioned posts can still be found in tag searches even if the post itself isn't tagged as such. Ppl need to chill and stop attacking you for something that is a Tumblr issue. You did absolutely nothing wrong and I'm so sorry ppl are acting like reactionary idiots incapable of taking a breath and think logically for five seconds
I totally understand their frustration with things showing up in the wrong tag like that. People wrongly crosstag things all the time but that’s not what happened here. Just tumblr being dumb and putting things in the wrong place.
I’m just sad that it happened, I wouldn’t have wanted to upset anyone over just a silly year in review post of Mark.

Tommy saying Technoblade's full name is "Technoblade Minecraft'' implies two things:
1) SBI family canon. Technoblade is Philza Minecraft's son
2) SBI family canon. Technoblade Minecraft and Philza Minecraft are... married?!?!?!

adore how we as a fandom collectively read the mangoball fic and were... chill about it. Even the non dnfers and the people who fucking despise twitter. We just sat down together, completely disregarded the main plot and went feral over the batshit insane side plots like. That is peak internet. Good vibes all around

I find it interesting how different CCs present lore and their character in ever so slightly different ways that enhance the lore so much, like for example I've noted that most of Wilbur's acting relies on using his face-cam as an extension of his character. Many of c!Wilbur's true feelings and motives can be clearly seen by the audience with him just expressively raising his eyebrow. I think that's what people mischaracterizing c!Wilbur tend to completely ignore. Sometimes he says things that completely contradict his current facial expression, or things that can be taken in a completely different light, and it's our job as the audience to take these inconsistencies into consideration. I think the most recent example for this is from the A Year Later lore stream.
I've seen a few takes based on this specific scene, l and what I've seen most of them do is talk about how Wilbur seemed almost disinterested at Tubbo while he burst into tears, even leading away Ranboo to follow him instead of comforting his sad husband.
I feel like this scene is the opposite, he's actually respecting Tubbo's boundaries, and leading Ranboo away to Tubbo can deal with his emotions without getting overwhelmed. You can see him wait for Ranboo to ask him first, and then for Tubbo's response before quickly leading him away when Ranboo asks a second time after Tubbo declines. I can't really give that facial expression a name, so i'm just going to call it the "ah, this probably isn't the right time to push him more" face.
He may have fucked up big time the way he treated Tubbo and especially what happened in the Red Festival, but he does one hundred percent care about Tubbo. There is no doubt about it. That does not mean he needs to be trusted, or forgiven, on the contrary actually. Tubbo should stand his ground and set boundaries until he's comfortable otherwise, but erasing parts of Wilbur's personality to villainise him and make him seem apathetic are not the ways to go about it.
It's really cool to see what mediums different CCs use to enhance the way they act to involve the audience more.

If c!Puffy had amnesia, how did she remember CaptainSparklez?
Did she meet him post joining the server? can't be
Hmmmmmmmm the timeline would turn incoherent (is that the right word?) if she met jardon on dsmp since he isn't there. So the only viable option would be that she met him on the seas considering they're both captains or somewhere else idk
So she remembers him when they sailed together or somewhere along those lines?
But she also related him to c!Tubbo about the horns hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I can't wait for the next season of Vault Hunters SMP!
I'm just afraid that the new fans might say some disrespectful stuff about the ogs. Very few may but I'm just afraid they will.
The ogs deserve nice things. They are really nice people so I'm scared of things people may do.

I have a theory about the finale, and have had this theory since before the recent break. We got hints about Jon maybe needing to die to set things right back in episode 186, but I think that was too overt to be what will actually happen. I think Martin might have to die, and I think Jon will he the one who has to kill him.
I think Jon will be the only one who can put things right, but I think he'll need a sacrifice to put things right, a sacrifice who is marked by every fear. And Martin, having been through domains of every fear might just be considered marked by them all.

OK so I just had a really sad thought and I have to come share it with everyone.
More than once in TMA we've seen where someone who has been kept alive via the effects of the Entities dies when they're no longer connected to that entity. The one that comes to mind first is the one from Upon the Stair. The man who wasn't there who, when he was there, his body realized he should have died long ago and he crumbled to ash. That's the only one that comes to mind immediately, but I'm pretty sure it's happened at least once more.
Point is! Jon died. His heart and lungs stopped. What if they manage to save the world and separate the Entities from reality and he escapes with his life, only for his body to catch up with him and for him to die after?

If it turns out that the audience - us - is what Annabelle is implying is listening, I would like that IF it is because having a tie to another dimension, like the tapes coming over here, is an integral part in making the crack at hilltop road a proper gateway. That would turn the audience into potential victims of the entities. It would take the concept from "you listened to the media, you're a terrible voyeur" to "you listened to the media, you've damned yourself" and just flips the whole dynamic, you know? Your attempts at getting other people to listen is a subtle manipulation by the Web to get a larger foothold here. The chill running down your spine as you listen and the vague feeling like you're being watched isn't the result of an overactive imagination, it's the Entities feeding on you.
It makes me think of the end of The Bifrost Incident, in Terminus, when Inspector Edda says that anyone listening is in danger and you'd better run as far and as fast as you can
