I personally think its disgusting of what she posted yet again its all about her and she the reason why micheal keeps trending 4th day oh please he was trending for days before she came in the picture. And for someone who has no career and basically living off her parter who works so hard and been ill with virus the last few days and haven't been able to perform and she post this. Taking the credit for something that has nothing to do with her. He very grateful that she keep him grounded what that suppose to mean ? He was doing better before she came in the picture since he been with her his career have been slowed a little and she probably the reason for it

What do u say ?

Oh, boy. I saw this a little while ago, and all I could think was that the bar is so low at this point--like halfway between the fourth and fifth circles of Hell--and this still somehow falls short.

I know there has been a lot of talk about the t-shirt Anna is wearing (which was a gift from a fan at the stage door of Nye), but for me, the t-shirt is the least concerning part of all this. It's a reference to a quote from Staged (it's the title of a season 1 episode, in fact), and I am sure Michael found it funny. The only problem is that without the context of why it's a joke, it actually just isn't that funny. And it sets the stage for everything else that is happening.

Which brings me to the caption she wrote, which was what primarily caught my attention. The reason Michael is currently trending on Twitter (X, whatever we're calling it) is because of the overwhelmingly positive response to The Assembly, which aired last Friday night. He is receiving a tremendous amount of praise for being on the show, how he spoke to the interviewers, and the respectful and joyous atmosphere that was cultivated on the show. And rather than allude to any of that--not to mention Michael being sick recently, or the trip they went on to Disneyland Paris--Anna made Michael trending on Twitter about her.

That is what stands out to me the most. The idea of "keeping him grounded" that is coming across more like kicking someone when he is already down. That he somehow needs that, and that she would have us believe he is "grateful" to her for, what...comparing him to a loud bird? Repeatedly making fun of his looks and interests without a shred of respect or affection behind it? I'm also confused by the implication (and the irony) that Michael somehow has a large ego that needs to be kept in check when she is the one coming across as self-involved in this Insta story. So, yes. I'm at a bit of loss here.

I just keep thinking of the things she could have said instead. How she could have uplifted Michael, wished him well on returning to the stage tonight after several days' absence, said how she was glad to have spent time with him or taken care of him while he was ill. Just something that would give him a reason to hold his head high. But I guess it might just be easier to convince herself/everyone else that he is smiling if his head is hanging down instead.

I am just glad Michael is out performing again tonight and getting to be on stage and do the thing he truly loves to do. But those are my thoughts, and I'd be glad to hear from my followers about what you think, regardless of whether you agree or disagree...

#angel19924 #reply post #michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #the 'keeping him grounded' thing is giving me Georgia Lite vibes #though at least with Georgia it's original #i don't even know anymore #i don't think AL has had any effect on Michael's career either and I'm not blaming her for that #yet it seems clear he hasn't affected her career in the way she hoped either #trying to provide a balanced perspective #but what's the old saying: when someone shows you who they are believe them the first time #anna lundberg #relationships #thoughts #discourse

Ah, hello?

Um, I don’t usually post something like this but I feel I need to.

I’m curently mostly on twitter, and if you’re there you know how rollercoaster that site is hahaha. Not sure why I’ve been hesitant to open either tumblr or insta..….. and truthfully, I’ve been having some anxiety with my own drawing ability even though I keep drawing things for a long while…

But just now I open this site and sees people still liking and reblogging my very old arts with very kind, funny, excited tags and comments? Specifically the drawings I made just because I want to draw it??

You don’t know how much that suddenly makes me smile, how it oddly makes me feel lighter today and think that It’s ok to just draw what I want, things I like, without doubting and comparing myself to other people constantly even to my own friends.… Makes me miss the time when I don’t think much of what people will think, or fearing that I miss out on the trend when I post my drawings.. even if the feeling only last for a day, I think it’s a good progress.. I’ll remind myself to remember this. This is also the main reason why I write this.

I’m trying to rebuild things, crossposting some of the arts I made, and hopefully I can open an international store for my merch and comic soon.

Lastly, I’m not that good at writing words that exactly best fit with what I feel, and sometimes I don’t know what to say at all. For those still around and cheering on me even though I now rarely post here, thank you so much. I wish you all the good things in life!

Hi Gina ! Hope you are doing well. I am quite new here but there's always been a question in the back of my mind when thinking about Harry's use of social media... Is there a reason Harry doesn't use Twitter much? I mean he posts on Instagram when he's touring, he has posted a few Insta stories here and there, but he's never on Twitter. Do we know why? I was on Twitter this morning & I was kind of surprised that he hasn't posted in a year (since December 2022, literally). He just isn't on Twitter anymore... Could it be because of the general toxicity on Twitter (I mean, the people are kind of ruthless over there) ?

Again, I'm quite new here so I don't know much about this, but when I compare his use of social media to other celebs that I like, there seems to be a general absence from social media on his part lol (obviously he doesn't have to post anything, it was just something I've noticed). Thank you for reading this (and sorry if you've already answered that question)!

Hi, sweetheart. Harry used to be on Twitter and IG a lot. And he was so funny and often very cheeky. When he went solo one of the things he said he did was try to “claw back” some of his privacy and not have every part of his life on display for the public. Part of this involved reducing his use of social media.

I think he also recognized how toxic it was and how unhealthy it was for him to have to read the things people said about him. Ultimately, his IG became strictly career focused with the very occasional personal post—like the 10-year 1D anniversary post—or, now and then, an IG story.

I just think he really has stopped giving the world so much of himself and now limits the glimpses we get of his personality to his concerts, an occasional interview, and his music.

Allie, I just saw H' insta story. Isn't it kinda offending and not cool. It's like he's taking a dig at us. It's your show bro, you should see to it that the prices are at a normal range. We aren't rich like you. I hate to compare Louis and Harry, but Louis is literally so good with what he's doing for affordability and fans in general. I really don't think H doesn't has any say in all these vip princing for his shows. It's all about principles I guess.

I don’t think it’s about that, I think people making it about price tickets are missing the point *completely* I’m sorry. Yes, Harry’s tickets are ridiculously expensive, like a lot of other artists that are as hyped as he is right now. Maybe Harry could try to do something about it and make it more affordable?? Absolutely! But to be honest I think he’s just playing the game and that’s how it is.

As for the sign… it was obviously a joke IMO, I have no idea if that person actually went into debt or whatever and that’s not my problem (or Harry’s). The point this person was trying to make (and when you translate the sign to portuguese this becomes so obvious) was that they did a lot to be there so they deserve to be noticed. Which is basically the same as those stupid signs he used to read in america “I ran over a deer on my way here” “I missed someone’s funeral to be here” “I got fired to be here”. It’s all the same thing, I have no idea why Harry encourages these kinds of signs so much, clearly most of them are not even real, it’s just people trying to be noticed. So IMO the sign is obviously a joke, but not a funny one. On top of that, and what’s more concerning, is that encourages the behaviour of competition of who is “real” fan, better fans are the ones going to every single show, no matter what. Real fans buy everything, go everywhere, stalk him, etc. It’s the only way of showing their love. It’s such a toxic fandom culture. I had an anon very recently talking about this kind of behaviour on twitter, it’s fucked up! So that’s why I hate it, it’s not that deep, but I don’t think he should be encouraging that anyway, I think it’s annoying.

Denmark, 0! (I'm so glad they added an all option!)

!!! ok here we go :D

1) what would their social media page/activity be like: i've discussed this w/ a friend but i think denmark is the most technologically capable after sweden! i think on twitter he's a little more professional (but he loves rting feel-good stuff) BUT he shines on insta. it's full of artsy pictures of the danish countryside and embarrassing videos of him and his friends on his stories :,)

2) what animal they remind me of: i don't care that it's predictable that man is a puppy!!!! manga denmark is a golden retriever but anime denmark is a yippy chihuahua with that fucking voice

3) my thoughts on their design/aesthetic alone: LOVE!! i think his canon outfit is really nice compared to.... whatever the other four are doing!! his hair is dumb but it's dumb /affectionate /i love him

4) physical headcanons: i got a few! he's an early bird!! and a light sleeper. physique-wise he's the second tallest nordic and he has BIG ass arms (an axe was his main weapon so!! makes sense to me!) he has a huge sweet tooth + he loves pastries!! but his favourite is whatever norway bakes because he's a softie :) as for actual food.... this man survives on sandwiches hot dogs and beer. get well soon x

5) social headcanons: denmark is the nordic with the most friends outside of the group!! finland comes close, because everyone loves finland and he has estonia & hungary, but i think denmark's outside friendships are more involved! a strip that really stuck with me is one during the denmark-norway period, where he goes to the netherlands and asks him to give him the buddy price on weaponry and ned agrees despite how he usually is :,) within the group, i see him as having an older-brother-but-kinda-dad relationship with iceland. sweden and him are close now and they're just the brothers who had a fallout but now r coping by insulting themselves jokingly (only when they're a few drinks in sometimes it's not a joke). he and fin only became close in later centuries but their personalities are super compatible so they're great friends!! and he and norway... oughghhg you're talking to dennor lover #1 here HAH to me they've been basically on-and-off in love for 1100 years or so :,) i'll go more into it in a future post so i'll stop here but!! yeah!!

6) psychological headcanons: i feel like i covered most of this in my denmark analysis!! but hm yeah for me his greateast fear is for sure isolating his family again. and despite how carefree he acts, i think he weighs his decisions very carefully because of what happened in the past when he didn't. i think he's actually really good with dealing with anger in modern day (he's had a lot of practice) but he regrets how he used to be before. speaking of before!! i love to think abt him from the viking era to approximately the late 1500s just... cocky bloodthirsty denmark is really fun to explore and i think people should play it up more instead of making him p much as sweet as in modern times! i dont think he wouldve been anything like that to anyone but his family and own people (also animals btw this guy loves animals 100%)

7) ship(s) with them that i like or at least consider: in terms of like... my version of canon i'm a dennor soloshipper i think :,) BUT i find denmark/norway/finland/sweden fun to think about!! also denmark/estonia is a rarepair i think is veryvery cute. and some classic nedden never hurt anyone!

8) made-up connections with other characters that weren't in the canon (friends, enemies, whatever): yes!! estonia as i just mentioned! he was danish land once and he's a nordic fanboy now so they have to have some kind of relationship! also prussia; i know they do have the whole awesome trio thing going on, BUT i think historical denmark & prussia is not spoken about enough. the 2 were on the same side all the time back then!! finally i find it really funny if he and poland get on each others nerves HAH again because of historical reasons!

9) headcanons about their past: again covered a lot of these already but!! here's one that's a little different. denmark was the first to become christian, and i think he would've annoyed the fuck out of norway and sweden (who were still norse pagan) about it! sometimes it just got him exasperated eye rolls, sometimes it got him beheaded, yk how it goes

10) content about them I'd like to see more of: anything i love denmark sosososo much more iceland & denmark content!!! i adore norway & iceland don't get me wrong but they for sure overshadow ice & dan when it comes to familial dynamics and it's a shame! also i think a lot of the historical content focuses on the viking era, the fall of the kalmar union or 1814, and i'd like to see more of him in the 1500s-1700s!! he was up to interesting stuff!!

#long post #THIS WAS REALLY FUN THANK YOU!!!!! aaahh i love talking about the nordics sm :))#maia talks #ask

something I think is funny about tumblr culture is the way we gush over our mutuals and can't believe any of them follow us back. They're like gods/goddesses to us all

I can't think of any other social media site where that happens that way.

Twitter - bunch of people screaming at each other about random stuff

Facebook - a place that reminds you of everyone's birthdays because you'd forget otherwise

insta - no thoughts, just pictures

Idk...I'm not on that many social media sites anymore so maybe I'm missing something that compares, but it's definitely unique

#rambling thoughts #observations #the way we're all a bunch of nerds who love each other

As much as the boys find their musicallys cringey I kinda love them, maybe because most of them are adorable. They tried so hard and at times clearly had fun with it, though I can understand why they stopped. It was a fun time full of content back then though compared to now where we get barely anything for months on end and then suddenly a huge content drop as we approach October.

what's so funny is YEARS ago, back when i first joined the fandom, there was a video that had all of their musicallys in it, and it was an hour and thirty minutes long. it got deleted or removed a couple years back. so as someone that watched all of their musicallys at one point, ngl.... most of them aren't that cringey. i don't think they're non-embarrassing either, but i don't think they are like 'wake up in a cold sweat from a dream' type of cringe lol

tbh they were just doing what everyone else was doing. i actually think their tiktoks from the trap house 2.0 era are more embarrassing bc they were trying too hard to be funny.

i get why things are more spaced out now. i think in a way they ran themselves thin doing what they used to do. bc at one point, they were posting on twitter once a day, once a day on insta, and then sometimes twice a week on youtube. then things calmed down a little, but they would still post once a week on every platform and that can be exhausting and really time consuming. not to mention the internet isn't exactly the most lovely place to be on all the time, so it's mentally taxing to do it like that anymore. colby outwardly admitted to being unable to read comments all that much anymore so.... i get it. it sucks, but i get it.

lol so as i have literally no life [before the quarantine, during the quarantine, after the quarantine] but especially during the quarantine, i have created a burner insta to literally just look at pretty pictures and follow drag. so the number of lives that i watch is ridiculous [up from zero as of like 2? weeks ago]. anyways i am in TEARS bc lagoona and rose were on live prepping for the insta thing and jan just pops into the comments trying to get their attention [and they don’t see it so she asks for help getting attention] and suddenly everyone is all like JAN NEEDS YOU TO CALL HER and it was just the funniest thing to me.

#also the jan is a lightweight moment #i can relate #parasocial interaction is real guys #it's funny tho bc i have zero posts bc i am not in a place in my life where i take photos #and i don't really like posting photos #i prefer posting thoughts #see: twitter / tumblr #listen if i could clone myself and do photoshoots w myself i would #but i can't #so here we are #do i have an old insta sure #but the thing is i follow a lot of people i am not close w anymore and they follow me #and i know you can get sneaky on insta #i also dont like to compare myself to others #and im not actually good at vista either #so #i dont like who this quarantine has made me but anyways

The thing that most people comment about my relationship with Lee is our height difference. Most of the time we don't really care about it, and it doesn't affects us in any way, but, we can't just ignore it. It's there, and it makes it's presence when I'm on tip toes trying to get something from the heightest shelf in kitchen, or when we're on a plane and he doesn't really fit much of the space. Sometimes I call him "big bird" when he is annoying me, and he calls me "shortcake" all the time. Also, when we're walking our dog out people gives us funny looks. And I'm not even that short, I'm 5'4, but everyone is short around my boyfriend's 6'5 tall figure.

It's hella cute to see a big man as Lee, walking a tiny black flat coated retriever on the streets. Even though walking Gus out drives attention, being seen around with me gives people enough to talk about, so we just have been avoiding to get out of the house together. Long enough to people start speculating we broke up. Which is funny, because we just got engaged.

"Gus, go tell your father that dinner is ready," I said to the dog beside me, that went running out of the kitchen.

We're celebrating our "one week engagement", so I made Swedish meatballs with spaghetti for the occasion. I'm not very good at the kitchen, and that's one of the reasons I still ask myself "what have this man seen in me?", but I still try to impress him. Lee on the other hand is a great cooker. I wonder if there's something he can't do.

After I set the table, I poured us some wine and waited for my fiancé while scrolling through my twitter time-line. It's funny to read people's theories about our "possible break-up".

"HI honey, I'm sorry it took me so long," Lee says while walking down the stairs. He comes in my direction and leans down to leave a peck in my lips. "What are you reading?" He points to my phone.

"People are saying you're one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood at the moment," I smirked at him and he scoffed rolling his eyes.

"Please, it's only have been four months since we're last seen together. I don't understand how people can jump to that "break-up" conclusion so fast," Lee commented, taking a full fork of spaghetti to his mouth.

"To be fair, you've been only posting pictures of Gus on your insta..." I shrugged.

"It's your fault, shortcake. You say you don't like to exposes us so much," He raised one brow at me.

"Yeah, I don't like to see people saying the same things all the time. It's kinda frustrating having everyone pointing out our height difference in the comments of every single picture of us," I mumbled and he took his hand to meet mine in a supportive way, his thumb caressing the back of my hand.

"I know, I'm sorry baby. You know I would shrink myself for you if I could," Lee said and I snorted, sipping from my glass of wine.

"You're so silly, big bird" I looked at him with a silly smile on my face.

"And yet, you love me madly. I must've been doing something right," He shrugged and I bit my lip.

"I can think a couple things you're doing just right," I murmured under my breath as I sipped from the wine, and I could feel his burning gaze at me, just as well his wicked smirk.

"Oh, really? Mind to list those things for me?" Lee said in his low voice, putting down his cutlery. I finished my glass, feeling a little more naughty because of the alcohol.

"I could spend the rest of the night listining all the great things you do to me, or... we could just go to our room so I can show you in practice," I bit my lip harder as I pressed my thighs together, and I watched his look getting darker in lust.

"Oh shortcake, I'm about to add some more things to your list."

HIIII it's 3 am and i'm trying to sleep but brain went brr with ideas n shit and oh well- thing is ; i was wondering if i could make my first request? (smth simple if u want to, no need to be very long or anything + pls don't rush nd take ur time AND don't feel pressured to actually do my request :] ! ) maybe smth ab faceless art streamer! y/n [they/them]?? (if u could add that the reader is like an indie game dev or works for smth like that u'd be sosososososo cool omg) with maybe quackity, tommy, dream, ranboo, niki and/or jack?? idk brain did the storming and its all messy hsdnshhfjsjz (btw! i know it's a lot of CCs so feel free to remove some or do the ones ur only comfy with !!! take care nd stay safe !!! luv ya <3 (/p))

AS SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO GAME DESIGN, CHARACTER, AND PLOT DESIGN YOU BET I CAN MAKE THE READER AND INDIE GAME DEV (and aaaa ty for adding jack!!! I think he's really neat and not enough people acknowledge him :))!!)

Multiple x indie game dev!artist!y/n

pairings: quackity, tommy, dream, ranboo, niki, jack manifold (separate) x indie game dev!artist!y/n

pronouns: they/them

other information on the reader:

. faceless

. knows how to code

. artist

. streams them drawing video game characters

. minor

. makes indie / horror games

form: headcanons

genre: platonic, fluff(??)

warnings: horror games / horror mods, ranboo enderwalk lore in his section

abbreviations: y/n -> your name

quackity

okay let's get the obvious out of the way; definitely going to be the type of person that's like "I'm going to play this game first after you're finished" yk? playfully ofc, n playfully fight with anyone who says the same thing (*cough* Wilbur, tommy, dream *cough*)

he probably wouldn't be on your art streams often – he doesn't really enjoy watching people draw, but he would want to see the finished pics

he would happily be on voice chat with you while you're drawing though!! :D

would be proud to answer any questions you have about character / scene / etc designs!!

"quackity!! so for this character – check your dms for a current picture – would red or purple antenna be better? also, two or four antenna?"

"*gasp* you're asking me?? 🥺" /j

"y'know what, nevermind, chat wh-"

"NO WAIT WAIT"

"so what do you think?"

also, if you do end up sending him the finished pics of the art he will hype you tf up !!!!

would try to get you make joke games – not like actually, it's just an ongoing bit between you two!

if you make a game for him – or give him a sneak peek of a game before anyone else he's going to freak out!! and he won't really know what to say bc putting feelings into words is hard

if y'all ever meet up and you're fine w hugs he's gonna give you a huge hug, hoping that makes up for the lack of words to describe how just,, proud of you he is bc he really really is!!

you're not even in your 20s yet and you can make video games, or help with them?? not to mention how creative you are with the characters and story line??? he's amazed by you

might actually cry /pos if you base a character off of him

like let's say a part of a puzzle is to get a rubber duck and place it into a pond to get the next hint or thing you need – only when he plays it on stream, he doesn't know anything about the game, so you're watching and waiting for him to get there

when he does get there – he finds out the duck has a beanie and has a white ring appear around it that flashes to life before fading out after picking it up, signifying it was the right thing to get

at first he doesn't really notice the ring, "oh! that animation is different than normal" he notes, but mainly focuses on the beanie, comparing it to himself before he glances at chat to see them freaking out over the planet duck reference

then he's just talking about it, shocked of course but flattered, and then you type in chat "you helped me a ton with things I couldn't decide during this game, I couldn't not add you! :)" everyone's just :(((( !!! /pos

overall supportive n proud, maybe a bit loud about games in progress, but just a really nice guy in general :)

tommy

he is ABSOLUTELY loud about your games in progress!! if you don't want something said you have to tell that to him before telling him or else he's going to brag about how cool it is the next time he streams

"chat!! chat, y/n is making this new game and they told me that one of the outfits you can collect for the player is going to be based off me!- right!! that sounds pog!!"

if he ever accidentally let's anything slip on stream that he was supposed to say, everyone who's a fan of you is just like "wow! suddenly! I cannot hear anymore!", sometimes they're like that even if it was okay to say

the just like being surprised :)

as for art streams, he'll try his best to tune in but obviously won't be there all the time! he's usually very active in chat too! likes being on call with you while you do art streams if you let him!

he once convinced you to make a texture pack and a shader (meant for both to be active at the same time), the fans loved it and a lot of them use it more often than the original!!

tommy however, not to much, proud of you bc that must've been a ton of work!! but at some time it slipped his mind that you make indie and horror games; I think we all know he doesn't do well with horror games

so you liking horror and such made the textures look more ominous and just make it look like and area you don't want to be in, and the spook goes up even more with the shader!! it's darker than usual, there's unusual fog, the portals look too dangerous now, so on and so forth yk

so,, tommy didn't use the texture pack for long;;

if you ever raid him after you're done streaming and he has a question, he's literally just gonna ask you on stream

"y/n raid? oh! are they still here?" when you confirm you're in chat, he continues "great! okay I had a question about your new game that's going to be available soon and how to download it-"

fans love how casual you guys are about game information, like you had to teach him how to export a game character he made on the website you usually make yours on (it was for a fun stream) and it was just a simple back and forth but everyone's like omg :((( omg them :((

also if you're the type of person to go insane over tiny details in other games, he will absolutely tease you for it

like you can just be going on and on about how this game had a sentence at the start that had a backhanded meaning by the end and he's just gonna call you a nerd (genuinely thinks is cool how much of the small things you notice in games though)

dream

COMPLAINING ABOUT CODING AND HOW HARD IT IS 🤝🤝

and if you took other coding classes hoping that I'd help with video game coding he'd just listen to you talk about it

"I actually took robotics for a while before because the school didn't have any video game coding classes and I was hoping it'd help either way" "oh?" "it,, it didn't help, it's so hard to code robots and considering how fast I caught onto video game code you think it'd be easier to understand the robot code" "yeah, that sounds reasonable" "NOPE,, WHY R THEY SO DIFFERENT I ALMOST FAILED" "D:"

fanartists like those moments, if one of those talks happen expect a bit of fanart of just dream and you chilling while you talk and he listens, the art always gives off comfy vibes n it's just cute :)

offering him to play a semi-rough draft of the demo so that he could see if it's good or what you needed to do to make it more enticing for the player

power duo fr fr o/

people like comparing y'all to hackers sometimes bc y'all know how to code???

you play into the bit with the fans though and honestly it's so fun !!!

fans: omg,, hackers (affectionate),,,

you next time you stream: hacker voice; I'm in

AND THEY GOT SHOCKED??? LIKE THEY FORGOT YOU CAN SEE THE STUFF THEY POST????

wouldn't be able to watch your art streams for long because he would get side tracked, the streams are just too under stimulating for his brain to focus on, but he'd hang around as long as he could though :)

would be glad to be on call with you while you're doing an art stream – though if he has is game sounds on you may occasionally have to repeat a question that was aimed at him

you're also in his streams when you can :)

also, you like sending donations to communicate rather than chat

one stream dream turned off his donos because you wouldn't stop giving him money 💀

being friends with such a popular creator and being a game creator yourself has it's downs as well

nothing thats too hard to deal with – the most common one is actually kinda funny – some people will slide in your dms acting like they're dream and just got locked out of his account, trying to get you to make them a game

like ??? do they think that dream would mssg you over Twitter or insta?? he has your phone number bro ,😭

also!!! when dream plays through new games you made he complements the small things and complements how hard something must've been to code :)

and I'm ngl, he kinda sucks with every game he plays at first but he's a quick learner so dw :)

would be glad to help if you're having a difficult time choosing between things too! except he'll answer right away without any teasing

"dreammm" "y/nnnn" "for this area should I do like shattered stone walls or mossy stone walls like with vines n stuff?" "depends on the vibe you want, shattered stone would give it a dangerous and uneasy undertone and mossy stone would be more of ominous, if that makes sense?" "oh! okay, thank youuu!!"

ofc if you didn't have a specific vibe or couldn't choose which was better he would just give a straight up answer so you didn't stress out trying to choose one \o/

would absolutely like being a guest in a drawing stream, he isn't the best at art or character design but it's fun to see him try

maybe you both plus some friends do a "drawing Minecraft mobs from memory" stream? ,, with that the thing is; his would mostly be relatively accurate if you could understand wtf he was drawing 😭

dream may or may or have some of your art as his phone homescreen, he loves your style so much :(( /pos

ranboo

first off; he's incredibly impressed!! like!!! you made this game?? this playable game, completely from scratch??? how??

also you may or may not have made a small Minecraft mod for him to tryout on stream,, little gift from you to both chat n ranboo 🤲

its literally all based off his lore,, if you get close to obsidian and crying obsidian fallen down from Undertale starts playing, if you splash water on yourself 1) you get hurt 2) your screen blacks out and when it comes back, your in a different place than before, some things art taken, maybe a few extra things are added

and there's a 50% chance that when you go into your "enderwalk" state (the blackout) you blow something up, so there may or may not be an explosion somewhere nearby, you also have a 20% chance of building something small in you enderwalk state :)

he found it so incredibly cool!!! chat was crying while complementing you while ranboo thanked you and complemented you over n over again

he won't shut up about how cool the mod is for several weeks, maybe even a few months, it's just so cool!!

will absolutely use it as a comeback if you let him; "oh? you got first place? well y/n made me a really really cool mod, so who's the actual winner here?"

will absolutely play every single game you come out with – it doesn't matter if it's his style or not – and he thoroughly enjoys all of the games as well

as for art streams, he will absolutely try to tune in every time he can!! active in chat and donos!!

doesn't really like being in art streams – like in call is fine but actually drawing? not really, he just doesn't love drawing in front of a ton of people

but will join an art stream if you ask

will listen to you rant about whatever, even if he doesn't understand it! like will listen to you go on and on about how well a game set up the atmosphere or maybe talking about how difficult coding is, and he'll converse back with you but won't really understand yk?

"ranboo I just played a really cool game do you wanna hear about it?" "yeah yeah- of course!!" "ok so like, the atmosphere was so well put together- like it was a horror game and I didn't even see the monster but the vibe was so well put together that it was still unnerving!!" "that's awesome! how did the atmosphere get set up the best and when you saw the monster, was it scarier?"

yk what I mean? like engages in convo so you don't feel bad about talking so much, plus shows his interest without the constant "hm?" "cool" etc a lot of people do and even though he does talk more than the acknowledgment sounds many people make he also manages to almost never sidetrack you and when he does it's on accident :)

if your way of learning is teaching then he'll gladly be the person you teach it to if you want! most likely won't use the information therefore his brain won't retain it but that's not on you, and the whole reason is so you can learn, not him, so! ^^

will make sure to take care of yourself, and he has a through way of telling if you have or not bc he's known you for long enough to know that even if you try to hide it a little bit of your tired voice shows so he knows if you've been sleeping like you should

also friends with you on discord, where you have your Spotify attached,, you like listening to music while you work on things that aren't sound related and if it's active later than it should be he's going to confront you

overall wholesome mixed in with a little pain bc both of you are like "ah yes, lore <3" and like to see fans cry /lh

niki

I feel like this is expected but if you need to get extra motivation she would probably be your go-to

she hypes you up but like, in a sweet and quiet kinda way, where as everyone else here would probably be relatively loud ;;

honored to be on an art stream if you invite her :')

and would absolutely watch your art streams when she can :D hypes you up in chat

also compliments, tons of compliments!

might call you a prodigy? bc you're so young but can already make games?? and make income off of them?? and do really good art??? and so much more??? like tell me that's not prodigy energy,

if you make a video game character based off her she might cry,, like in a positive way obviously but like at the same time :(( no don't cry!!

I say might bc it's dependant on how she feels that day yk? like she might just have the almost-cry wobble to her voice or she might actually, if that makes sense?

she genuinely loves your art style!! even if it's pointy and kinda creepy she really likes it!!

yk the "awww (name) :(" /pos she does sometimes? 100% does that with you

there are a few compilations of just "aww y/nnn" on YouTube and all the comments on those videos are just crying over y'all /pos

would be happy to help if you're stuck between some options in a game, but would feel kinda bad bc it's your game, you're supposed to be the one choosing the stuff

assure her that it's okay n stuff n she'll be ok tho !

I can't decide if she would play your games or not

bc on one hand she's a huge supporter of you and your work and would like to experience it first hand

but on the other hand she isn't the best with scry games,,

so maybe she'd do both? maybe she'd react on stream to a playthrough, maybe your playthrough? or maybe she would only play some of your games? I haven't decided so up to you I suppose!

jack manifold

genuinely amazed by your talent and will make it quite clear!!

can and will go on tangents about you on stream if someone brings it up

everyone is so :(( <333 /pos bc of it

will play the games you've made as soon as he can

if there are different games that line up in a story he'll make sure to play them in order :)

people also sometimes compare you two to hackers bc you code a ton and he kinda looks like a hacker

difference here is that both of you play into the bit, it's tons of fun!!

listen, I know he doesn't draw much but I am a firm believer that he will doodle his favorite character(s) from your games after he's done playing them

like after he plays a game of yours then expect a small doodle in your texts :)

you compiled a bunch of these doodles into one picture and made it you phone background and he only found out after y'all met irl and it caught the corner of his eye and he registered "oh hey wait that looks familiar"

he found out while recording the vlog n when editing, the editor was like "hey let's leave this in, it'd be funny if the fans knew right?" ,, the fans were crying for two weeks,, /pos

and speaking of drawings; he would like to be on a drawing stream with you, thinks it's be tons of fun!! :D

and he's usually free to call while your streaming and doesn't mind so if you wanna talk to him while drawing just call :)

and he will watch the streams he can make it to!! he may leave a bit early but he stays for the majority of it

if you make a character based off of him he's going to constantly thank you and brag about how cool you are anywhere he can

"hello manifolders, if you haven't done it already go download (game name)! I'm there!" with a ss of his character from the game and he'll reply to the tweet on his alt to talk more about the game and how much he really liked it :)

another that'll help you were you need it! he'll make it into a joke before anything else, but he'll get to the point

taglist (sorry i forgot to do it on the past two): @cvsmixplant // @l0ver0fj0y // @youngstarfishdinosaur

Enjoying all the people trying to TAKE DOWN cynical takes comparing all the crypto ads in 2022's Super Bowl to all the Dot-Com ads in 2000's Super Bowl & in the process revealing that they. Have no idea what "Dot Com" actually means

Like hohoho, you say Dot Coms fell, but you're posting this on Twitter, on your iPhone, and posting on Insta and-

None of those were? Dot Coms? Apple is a hardware company from the 70s, and the others came about years after the Dot Com boom.

Like, "Dot Com" doesn't...mean...all online commerce. They aren't saying internet shopping fell somehow. It specifically means the massive wave of e-commerce businesses in the late 90s and early 00s where terrible ideas got outrageous funding, or good ideas (a lot of modern delivery apps have Dot Com precursors) expanded too quickly, only to inevitably fail. Like, a lot of them spent that funding on ads and vanished after.

It's just funny that one of crypto-nerd's rationalizations is rewriting the Dot Com boom to be some kind of rejection of the internet, Dot Com to just be any commerce website, and to see the continued popularity of any internet business as somehow evidence that Dot Coms never experienced a "fall"

Also the Dot Com ads had sock puppets in them while the crypto ads are universally smug and even defensive so, Dot Coms stay winning

The soc book fandom is much bigger than the sab one but in the grander scheme of things, neither of them hold a candle to the actual show's fandom now and even less to what it will become, from what I see on social media platforms, Tumblr but especially the bigger ones like twitter and Instagram, in terms of ships so far, darklina seems to be winning, there was even a hilarious tweet from an soc fan with like 1k likes about how they're bitter the books got made into a movie bc they knew darklina would be the biggest ship and it happened and they said we'll pay for it or something... 🤣 🤣. The soc books were/are popular but compared to big book franchises they're very very small, obviously a show on Netflix is gonna have much more exposure and so far darklina seems to be very beloved by the stans and the locals but also very hated which is quite funny and reminds me of reylo on a smaller scale, where we're busy making content and the rest of the people are holding pitchforks wanting to burn is a the altar for simply existing. My favorite thing about all of this besides the fact that we get do much great stuff and fanfiction will be our lord and savior after whatever shit they pull in S2 bc I've already read multiple with a better magic system, better characterization than lb could even muster in her lifetime, it's the fact that I am crossing my fingers that they got a review about the most popular things and it is again darklina and Aleksander if twitter/Tumblr/insta/imdb/YouTube are to go by, idk about tiktok that site is a hellscape full of the dumbest takes to ever manifest out of mankind so I do not venture there, anyway my point is, imagining lb fuming over this fact brings me some small measure of relief and satisfaction.And if these things were not based on books where we knew the ending and I've seen a lot of people unwilling to watch bc they know darklina will not be endgame, and if we weren't sliding towards a repeat of the 19th century where people but this time women are trying to tell us what to enjoy lest it corrupt our minds and we become whores (ie if this was the TVD/twilight era) the fandom would be at least twice as big and we could've been able to bully them by sheer size into a darklina endgame but more importantly a darkling redemption bc it's what he deserves.

I'm so dumb that hadn't really even thought about how many new fans would be joining from the Netflix show! I kind of assumed the only people who would be watching would be all the original trilogy fans and SoC fans and that maybe the show would spark some interest from people who've never heard of the books but that it would only be marginal ☠️

But judging solely on AO3, the number of fics for Darklina has shot through the roof. Like, I think prior to the show, we had maybe like 300 fics? And that was from the entirely of 2012-2020 and now it's surpassed 700 new fics in since the show's release 😂

The Darklina thirst is real 👀

I actually don't expect them to change the show's ending, but considering how the majority of the trilogy fandom was already fueled by a mountainous foundation of spite, tears, and rage after that garbage ending, it can really only mean MORE Darklina fics and content 🙇🏽‍♀️

#viv answers #darklina #i avoid twitter so idek what other platforms are like #like people tend not to write as much fic for canon ships #since like...it was canon so no one cares #its the ANGST of the unresolved romance that sparks the need to write spitefics lmao

Thanks for taking my ask. The context of it was some svfoe fan on Twitter kept trying to defend the ending and attacked people when they were criticizing it on its anniversary. I wouldn't mind him liking it but the fact he kept acting like the ending wasn't bad and star's actions were justified...yeah no. And going all "la la la! Can't hear you!!!" when people called him out on it just makes him a blind fanboy.

dude, awhile back i posted a really funny Belos (From toh) and Star comic (Thanks to my pal @mrevaunit42 ) that was about how star's actions in the finale could rival a villain and on my insta this one guy would not shut up about how wrong i was and how star did nothing wrong.

he even dmed me to say i was stupid and laughable and every time i told him "So you're ok with genocide?" he kept claiming, "NO I"M NOT OK WITH GENOCIDE' while simultaneously telling me magic was so bad apparently that star made the right move with genocide.

Look, even if you thought the "Magic is so evil" thing, i'd still think you would prefer star didn't kill off possibly millions for it to not be used and would agree she should've tried something else. I really do not understand this philosophy that "It's ok that star committed genocide because it was for the greater good and prevented more death" while simultaneously telling me "I don't agree with genocide".

Granted, these people also tend to both make up stuff that are easily debunked in the show (This guy thought father time and gloss were brothers or something?) and think simply because gloss and hekapoo said it was ok (Which, same argument i have for why tom pushing starco bothers me, just because a character is trying to push for the audience to feel a certain way doesn't mean it actually works or makes any sense. ).....that means it's actually ok.

i really REALLY doubt gloss or heka speak for every magical being out there, even if we ignore how destroying magic is a bad idea for the show for many other reasons.

point being, i've never met someone whose die hard for cleaved who hasn't been both rude and extremely single-minded, literally makes stuff up to defend their points, and are unwilling to hear anyone out.

people can def claim those of us who do not like the finale are also single minded, but we do hear these defenses out, and we do explain the problems with them. Cleaved is simply not an easy thing to defend, it's an ending that both throws out everything before it and the more you pick it apart the more problems you notice.

i'm not looking to hate it, but i knew it was bad the first time i saw it. I am willing to defend the show in places others wouldn't but i can't defend that finale.

If I can't defend it, we have an issue here.

and to some extent i think the aus really show the different between what the fans wanted out of a finale compared to daron.

Daron really seemed to think an ending where dimensional travel is gone forever, there's no royal family anymore, and star is a non-magic regular human was somehow the ideal ending for this series when none of that is built up or nearly as interesting.

meanwhile the fans loved the magic, the many dimensions, the royal family, the mewman powers.

this ending wasn't just insulting to the series, but makes aus a lot less fun for people unless you plan to make one disecting these issues. Which can make longevity in a fanbase a lot less likely when there's nothing to enjoy.

Basically, i feel like daron never really knew what would be best for her series, or for the fans, nothing about that ending read to me that anyone really looked at this all that deep or if it made any sense.

star to me is full of great ideas and concept, there was a good story in here, but it's clear they didn't put as much thought into it as we did.

Cleaved is by far one of the worse finales i've seen to a show i like, i think it's currently THE worst, like even Phantom Planet at least had Danny saving the day in a way that wasn't crazy baffling.

I in no way, regret watching star vs, i love it to death, but i can't defend everything it did.

#star vs the force of evil ending #my thoughts

I love how tom is "so happy in the relationship" that he is having reoccurring dreams of getting a girl pregnant (i.e s*x dreams (we all know how getting pregnant requires) - censoring so you don't get your account in trouble by tumblr, not sure about the guideline but don't want some tomdaya to try to report the account🤣) and being happy to have a baby daughter with her even though its with a random girl! This proves it's PR! Because it shows how desperate he is to be in a stable long term relationship and how much he wants his own kids!

The only thing that is making me still a tom fan is know how he acted before the PR relationship that it is really him and also the astrologer and clairvoyant future wife reading (on faiths blog)! She sounds great, creative, happy, adventurous and down to earth, and i can't wait for that era for tom! I can't wait to see him be with someone who loves him fully and unconditionally! He is so sweet he deserves it! And I can't wait for everyone to support them and for their power couple moments! I just want to see him truly happy, and not the happy he is trying to be on Instagram and infront of paparazzi he called, like really genuinely happy! and not posting things on social media about their relationship and drawing attention to himself to make him trend on insta or twitter, or purposely kiss/hug/hold hands/laugh infront of a camera to draw attention! Just genuinely happy!

I can't imagine him leaving Hollywood for ever, i think he will just take a break and try to find balance within himself and they get back to making movies (hopefully with harry and maybe his future wife one day (astrologer and clairvoyant mentioned that)!!!!) So we can't blame tom because I would just listen to whats in the contract, because as the other anon said sony can either make or break you career and by tom following though it shows that he is going to keep making movies and acting - I think he is just warning us about him taking a break (which is 100% understandable) Also no hate to Zendaya her movies/performance haven't been doing the best and we also don't know what was threated against her in the PR contract! And we will never know! But all we can do is wait for it to finish and then more on!

I'm just not going to follow him during the press tour and take a break! I don't want to see him not acting like himself and having this persona to fit into their PR stunt! So I'm just going to let it go, and when the PR is over I'll support him again! I just don't want to deal with the toxicity anymore! The sad thing is, that him followers is going up due to this but you can see in the videos how much he is trying to act like his normal self - happy-go-lucky, positive, vibrant, chill, funny and energetic self; but he just looks sad, anxious, tired, uncomfortable and depressed (you can really tell the difference between the 2016-pre-PR videos, pics and content compared to the content were getting of him during the PR! I in a way want him to take a break and just focus on himself (not getting in a relationship, work or anything else thats stressing him out), just his mental health! Because when he sorts out his internal issues and challenges his external ones will positively change due to his positively changed mindset! So if he takes months off and goes to a mindfulness retreat where no one can access the internet or goes backpacking across Europe or lives in a small house in the middle of no where - it makes him improve and develop into a better version of himself then h can go as long as he needs🤣

"Because it shows how desperate he is to be in a stable long term relationship and how much he wants his own kids!" Anon you actually have a point specially with that phrase and the whole dream thing I know other people had talked about it but idk if it's the way you worded it or bc I don't have a headache now but it makes even more sense than before like 10x more 🤣
