Every time I see someone cite one of my clips when telling people about a particular charater, analyzing a specific interaction, or making lore predictions, it always warms my heart.

#mod talk #tbd #Like hell yeah. That's what the archives are for #primary! sources!#Brought to you by me seeing a dumb as hell take on my fave then scrolling down and seeing someone going #''Well actually this is explicitly incorrect as seen in this clip—''#Petty aguments are stupid and I always advocate for blocking people if they're annoying (even if you've never interacted with them)#However: helpfully directing someone to a primary source can be nice sometimes #it's a case by case thing but in this specific instance I was like #''I'm glad the clips I share (esp of non-English speaking ccs) help people get to know their characters better''#I just like hearing / seeing people make good use of the archive #wish I had time to do more but alas.

Yuma Month: Day 20: Truth

The truth…is uglier than you could have ever expected.

tw // vomit (spoilers too)

...happens only if he ate a meat bun prior to this

(all vomit in rain code is censored in pink glitter ✨)

based on this post I made long back

#Yuma Month 2024 #whumpcode #rain code #rain code spoilers #master detective archives: rain code #yuma kokohead #pixeldoodles #my art #tw emeto #okay the trigger is there but it is in a way censored XD #its kinda silly too but I will leave it there just in case #I'm emetophobic myself so I'd like warnings too #anyway yeah I had to do this for the prompt #yet another moment yuma nearly sickens himself #but this moment actually made me put my game down for 3 days #and I even contemplated on finishing it at all #I do NOT like cannibalism.. x-x even if its a giant meme now #it messed me up pretty badly playing the first time #and then after 3 days and a few walks to clear my head #i finished the game and yeah it made sense lol #anyway yeah the truth is pretty horrific #had to find another excuse to put yuma through hell lol #that pose was hard so it probably doesn't look perfect orz #dw tomorrow's prompt will likely be more wholesome #what's funny about this is they do get a solution key after this #shinigami’s like ‘huh did you cough it up master? mmm nope.’#anyway I hope I didn’t scare you all w this!!#very unlike me to draw this sort of thing...xD #I wanted to try drawing it once to test the waters ig??#that scene in Ch5 was kinda bait anyway lmao

In such a weird spot right now, very much debating a reblog sideblog

I know tumblr is all about "reblogging is good for the ecosystem!" which, yes! Reblogging is such a help for art! But at the same time I am one of those people who doesnt follow people who reblog too much because I get stressed out easily when there is too much stuff on my dash to catch up with. Which leads to me missing out on some cool peoples art. And I KNOW I am not alone in this mindset

I am currently trying to keep a balance between 'reblogging enough to get attention on smaller art posts' and 'not posting enough to cause people to unfollow me' but ah, thats hard....

#shrug #thoughts ig #but at the same time im like. hmm #2 blogs is enough.... actually....#haha 2 blogs left *gets smacked*#another part of me wants to make a reblog sideblog for the sake of archiving purposes #I tried making that years ago actually but then deleted it after 3 reblogs #because I relogged some fanart to main by accident and got embarrassed LMAO #hell yeah #embarrass myself in front of the what the 100 followers I had back then?#good lord turtles exploded this blog #@intotheelliwoods was just supposed to be silly occasional fanart.........#what happened to you #turtle hell #this is also why whenever I do reblog some art on @intotheelliwoods #its typically some like. small artist little note post #that def needs some more attraction #I would LOVE to reblog friends shit but then!!!!!#ugh!!!!!!!#I would be reblogging so much and I fear I would scare off people aha

a (not)short list of unpopular polin opinions

+Colin saying that he 'found/met himself' on his travels is GOOD, actually, and Penelope should be overjoyed that her friend put that kind of work into himself. she should be happy the letters between them were genuine connection instead of him using her as 'free therapy' as some people like to state

+Colin is not using Penelope as free therapy, ffs

+Colin's line about not courting Penelope couldn't have possibly 'ruined her prospects' because she already had 0 prospects

+Colin caring about Marina even after everything went down is proof he has a good heart and nature and would make an excellent partner. (do i think he should have visited her still? no, i think she deserves her privacy, but Colin didn't do anything wrong in the S1 situation and him coming to check on her, being nice to her husband and her children, and feeling concern about her happiness is HEAPS better than how other men in this series have treated their previous romantic partners)

+Penelope being upset he isn't interested in her is 100000% valid. Cutting him out of her life for it however is toxic as hell (and celebrating her 'ghosting' him is very telling)

+Penelope was SUPER out of line multiple times w/ Colin, in particular when he's clearly heartbroken. Nearly confessing her crush on him in S1 was bad and selfish (his engagement JUST blew up very publicly by her hand) and when he comes back from traveling (aka: trying to heal after said blow up) asking about women he met is very tone deaf. reminding him she herself is a woman is ALSO very tone deaf

+Penelope has been and continues to be a bad friend to him, partly by her own admission when he complimented her on being a loyal person and she said she didn't deserve that (good news: this means she can have a character arc becoming a better one!)

+Calling Colin 'stupid' or an 'idiot' simply because he doesn't realize Penelope has a crush on him or for verbalizing things poorly is ableist and it needs to stop being so normalized in this fandom

#colin bridgerton #penelope featherington #polin #bridgerton #bridgerton season 3 #do i think colin has flaws? HELL YEAH!!!!#i wouldn't like him if he was perfect #he hides he lies he masquerades #he's got a lot of white knight sexism to work through #but the stuff he gets demonized for is. . .not any of that???#'colin bridgerton being an idiot' is a tag on well over 200 fics in the archives #wanna know how many treat penelope in the same way? 7 #even though she's made the lion's share of mistakes and harm between the two of them?#which one of the two is coded as being neurodivergent? admitting they need to rehearse what they say? having a hard time reading feelings?#hmmmmm do you smell that?#it's ableism babes

okay real talk who is coming away from understanding lennon-mccartney thinking that it "alludes" to a romantic entanglement between john and paul

#hell yeah i love allusions i love saying things right into people's faces and having them be like “what is she implying with this”#ulm uses montage so brazenly unsubtle i brought it up multiple times while watching atomic cafe with friends #(which i think is an L for me honestly)#[watching historically important archival documentary on nuclear weapons] this is just like understanding lennon-mccartney

ok I genuinely think @is-the-owl-video-cute has gone off the deep end. what makes you act like that on the internet for real. I don’t even have a real stock in this bullshit drama but they are just the most reactionary asshole to people? how can y’all look up to them they are genuinely so immature and pissy. they’ve been throwing a fit over users they personally dislike and using absolutely no proof at all to say they doxxed ppl. there’s like zero proof other than they don’t like them LMAO. can y’all log the fuck off please?? before someone actually gets hurt??

#is-the-owl-video-cute #yeah I’m tagging actually I hope ppl searching for drama see this and get a reality check #I saw that archived link what the actual fucking shit in hell were they thinking typing that?#they arent fucking animal murderers. they don't like the way scout handles their media presence or their farm #but that doesn’t mean they doxxed them and there is zero evidence to suggest as much. they’ve said they didn’t so like. nothing to go on.💀#(frankly also. scout and owlvid should be able to handle criticism and disagreements like normal fucking people #instead of flying off the handle literally every single time. like it’s a pattern)#I think both of them should just log off until they learn to handle this shit in a normal way #and without encouraging their impressionable followers to go on witch-hunts after ppl.#especially bc they don’t like it when it happens to them?? yet they say NOTHING when their followers start harassing ppl?? telling lol #I can’t stand it. y’all aren’t educators and you will never be the end all be all of every opinion you have. stop assuming such.#owlvid has had wildly inaccurate ‘facts’ about rabbits before but acting like they KNOW this shit is infuriating.#I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that every ‘is the x animal cute’ blog has gone to shit and up a creek though #just particularly disappointed in owlvid and scout for the way they’ve handled this #while KNOWING the amount of followers that would swallow their boots all the way their their head if they could #like. cmon. you can say you don’t know enough abt this subject to comment. it’s ok.#and I think scout should be able to handle and address criticisms abt their cows without losing it every single time like #I’ve never met a good farmer that can’t handle criticism for their animals. it’s part of the job you won’t please everyone #and if you are planning on being an educator you have to be able to handle those criticisms with a level head and understanding.#that’s not what owlvid OR scout do. they are influencers on a power trip.#if you want respect you have to give it. not one of the dreaded rabbit people have been disrespectful about their criticism.#it is not so the other way around and that’s telling as hell #the only time I’ve seen these apparently evil sadistic rabbit bloggers make sardonic or disrespectful (I guess?) comments is on their own #and when they’re frustrated about being labeled like they kick puppies for fun for being a fucking normal ass farmer lol #you’d think maybe scout would be able to get that. maybe not so much owlvid bc they don’t seem to understand rural animal care #for the record I’m not looking at any of these blogs involved with scrutinizing detail bc I have better things to do #but I have kept an eye on the situation w scout and animal control being called and how it got twisted into ‘doxxing and swatting’#by high strung ppl who should not have been online #I value my blood pressure too much the urge to just turn off my phone overcomes any desire to look through the drama

Oh I just remembered that very early during the pandemic or a little before idk I had a dream on which I was living on a beach town and working as a teacher and I looked very different (long dark hair, prettier, just more mature, normie & put together in general ?) and when I woke up was like haha that's never going to happen, I could never work at a school or get out of the gastronomic system, I'm doing this for life + moving out is impossible anyway with my salary. And now... 5 years later (that felt like much less??) I'm doing (nearly) all that :|

#i remember the feeling of knowing i didnt have time or resources to go into practice and i didnt want to either. i had had a crisis idk #2 years earlier about all that and bareky finished my lit degree #at the time #i was also working 12 hs shifts for less than minimum wage #ik 5 years seem like a lot but i also am not sure how i went slowly building up to where i am currently ;_#there had to be a gradual progress but i just think things were happening very suddenly and i was pushed into situations very thoughtlessly #when i didnt even want to be in them. and i just went with the flow only to not remain stagnant #like i quit bakeries and moved to other bakeries until i hit my archival job that gave me the push to both get serious about my #second degree and also being surrounded by so many ppl in professional fields and researchers made me feel bad abt myself so much that i #started doing better lmaoo #finally getting insurance after so long being in gastronomics (hell) was so good to me too....#getting treatment for my mental health took me out of the gutter too omg. thats more recent development but if i hadnt done that i feel lik #i would be rotting...#but yeah i was pretty hopeless and with no money. lived very poorly and rly without prospect even after getting my degree anddd yeah...#what im doing now seemed like the kind of things that a much more successful people would be doing. i felt much like a kid working dead end #jobs so i didnt have to move back with my parents #not like an adult at all #anywho i should write this on my journal. im proud of myself still :'3

the gay urge to remove all of my dragons' apparel, delete their bios, and do a full lore revamp

#not that theres much lore to begin with but Still #hhhhg but i wanna save what i have for archive purposes....#am i insane enough to screenshot everything and Then revamp it all #carve for juicy bits and toss out the carcass???#i could have a lore lair #the kind of lair where people come to browse The Lore #and leave comments like 'wow such cool lore' hell yeah...#totally normally fantasies for an unemployed unenrolled 20 yr old to have #absolutely unprompted #flight rising #i wonder if flight rising has employment offers. how would that even happen. i wouldn't mind writing for them

that hell-wip aside, i do have.. so many ideas. for timothy stoker last life au.

Tim wakes up, back to the ground, the world spinning above him. And, see, here's the thing: he's fairly sure he's meant to be dead, all things considered. That's generally what happens when you get blown up. ...but he's not. He's here. Only, uh... he doesn't know where here is. …that's an issue.

There's a sun above him. Trees, short and stumpy, their foliage barely wide enough to cast him in the shade. Tim can hear their leaves shuffle just slightly in a wind he can't quite feel, and there's the sound of water nearby, just quiet enough that he's not quite sure he hasn't made it up.

Against his back is grass, and rocks, and some odd bar that's pressing uncomfortably into his shoulder.

Actually, he finds himself more uncomfortable than he'd realized. Which is weird. Because Tim's fairly sure that he's not meant to be feeling uncomfortable. Fairly sure he's not meant to be feeling anything except, like... y'know. Dead.

Well, okay, he's not a liar. He's not going to pretend that a tiny part of him hadn't been expecting sunshine and rainbows and kayaks. Some dumbass tearful reunion with his brother. The works.

But he's pretty sure -- no, fuck that, he knows -- that heaven isn't the type of place you're meant to be lying on uncomfortable grass and trying not to panic. (And if it is, well, he thinks that's a load of bull. And a little terrifying. So: not his problem right now. He smoothly relegates that to 'future Tim's' problem, and hey! Easy! Problem solved.)

#(i hear you ask #jay #“hey! why did you not post THIS first!”#and. see.#this was not. written. like 10 minutes ago.#so.#...hell yeah)#crimson-writes #crimson-writing #?#what fuckigngf tag was it FJKBGFDJKS #tim stoker #the magnus archives #last life #the magnus archives last life au #this was just meant to be DOT POINTS . crying screaming sobbing

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

* NOTE: Please note that this is an incomplete transcript, as I was primarily relying on Aypierre's translation mod at the time and if I am not confident of the translation, I do not include it. As always, please feel free to add on translations or message me corrections.

#Pactw #QSMP #Pac #March 18 2024 #As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators #I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore #I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know #like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on #And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation #but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk.#I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about #esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources #and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive''#but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this''#''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?''#And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know #idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info #Happy to hear other folks' perspective #I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those #but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric #which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs #but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying #Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript #that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing #and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate #idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags #But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter #Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn

one in a million when i watch smthing in the horror genre and don't end up disappointed to/and/or pissed off about it so like "also yeah i liked it. ooo" is like relative to that an off the charts rave review of media of the millennium. also i did think about mh a lot along the way so would recommend its affect/effect if you like mh's horror too

#i didn't realize at first that's the director/creator tim's qrting. thought a rando went ''i love mh'' & he went ''& i love smthing else''#saw this a few weeks ago while also like writing or drawing or smthing like oh good plot's beside the point? b/c i'm splitting this focus #even checking in w/recaps was both like oh ok i missed that / didn't realize xyz could be a Thread or something but each of the like three #or four recaps i went over Also saw points differently in terms of even like; who was there or said what lmfao. or noting sm detail at all.#i went ''oh worm?'' at some early shot that may or may not have even gone mentioned by any of them. depending lol. doesn't matter #anyways we don't have time for tags media analysis except that i'll count this as: once again horror for children wins. even tho it's...#not rated? well anyways you know. probably generally not advisable for children as a direct audience lmao. however #like yes as per the premise as a child we've all experienced this [the media] anyways. perturbing summons dreams we've all had em #anyhow fr i'd even struggle to think of horror movies i'd say i mostly liked / would or did rewatch but still wasn't like. i disliked major #elements / choices to the point of being pissed off abt it. so many movies i can't be bothered to watch b/c i already know specifics like #i don't like or respect any of you people. or choices or elements or premises or executions or effects. not even interested fr like lord...#but often what has better odds are mediums that Aren't straightforwardly tv / film. like i'd compare mh to a series of several movies and #that's also imo largely a more apt categorization than saying it's an ARG or smthing but anyways like i'd recommend it to someone sure....#rare to be like yeah a movie was enjoyable. & if you already liked mh then that's a useful reference point here #which like usually i'd use mh as a categorical tag but idk i guess actually it's actively popular nowadays lmfao i really don't know #posting is already exhausting like whew but this one's for whosoever happens to follow me i guess #which is possible? nonzero ppl arrived for mh but unlikely lmfao. but also ppl see it on their own anyways coincidentally.#and you never know who observes the posts like hell yeah for an anon enjoying niche akd theatreposting who is to me ambiently out there #really odd the other day seeing an mh reblog like ''??? huh. i made that eons ago; then'' & people in the tags talking abt some repost like #on the one hand that Original Source post is two layers of deactivated blogs so a repost could be archival. but if they don't say as much #i.e. that it's even from a different source then that's not exactly it then is it. but also that even finding an original document For OP #is like. oh yeah that's me actually. but then knowing & technically saying as much doesn't / didn't actually affect me as that op lol #just kind of archival on both ends then. vs someone else in the tags saying they saw it on fb 9 yrs ago? definitely didn't post it there #my true op experience: keeping it nicheposting & just kind of saying sm shit & maybe some people are out there nodding thoughtfully #oh also in case fyi. that's tim as in actor playing [also tim] in mh. & did some writing for mh & other such behind the scenes efforts also #every time i look at the text in this post i notice a new typo of mine. get it tgoether (organic typo there. so; lol)

It's a little endearingly funny how if you go in the tma tags you would probably assume the archive squad are fairly close friends or maybe some weird messy found family dynamic going on amongst them, and then in the actual show 90% of their dialogue to each other is wrapped up in a ball of barbed wire while they all desperately need to go to therapy

#fandom was like 'i can still make this work'#meanwhile in canon people explicitly going 'i dont like you'#i am being pretty reductive here for comicality #i do think that if they all werent in such a high stress situation where none of them have control or consented to be in #that they would likely get on better #unfortunately the other people around them are symbols of how trapped they all are #im not saying they would all magically be besties #but i dont think half the tensions there would be there #but also without the arvhives most of them.wouldnt have met #and hell for some of them the trauma they experienced is what made them close #but yeah i imagine if rhey werent all trapped in the trauma basement by pain of death or eye gouging #theyd maybe be less antagonistic with each pther at times #and you can see that potential #you can see it in how they look out for each other and go get drinks together and shit #but theres little closeness overall as a group #because theyre all sort of too caught in their own personal trauma battle to be getting close with each other #tma #the magnus archives

After many mental debates over if it was 2018 I was barely playing or if it was 2019, and checking So many dates on Jorvikipedia, only to remember that the answer was right under my nose because the first gen 3 I bought was an app horse, and that horse released in December, and I always wait a solid amount of time before buying a horse, I've finally figured out that these horses were all bought in 2019, which is to say, here's the final archive-purposed post of all my years of horse purchasing! Manda's horses of 2019

Dustshadow > Bluestar > Autumnpepper > Appleruby > Snowcloud > Darksong > Goldfeather > Everrunner > Stormheart

Probably the year I'm still the most mixed on, given that all these horses were bought almost four years ago, so it's to be expected, but some of them still hold up (primarily the lusitano, even though I want to fistfight whoever at SSE keeps andalusifying them, and the north swedish) and at the end of the day they're a good bunch (except the connemara, had I not had principles I would have sold my connemara by now)

#Last archival horse purchasing post hell yeah!#I love how I was so conflicted for months if they were 2018 or 2019 horses as if the gray lusitano isn't the first gen 3 I bought and #that released in December of 2018 #Like y'know it's p obvious what we're dealing with here
