Making dubious purchases at bad times and by dubious purchases at bad times, I mean I’m purchasing Hit Game Ace Attorney’s™️ less successful cousin, Ghost Trick, while it’s still on sale on the Xbox One store bc I’m certain it will cure everything wrong with me and that I’ll no longer have mental illness if I play it

Sometimes I think I’d like to see That Little Guy™️ put in some angsty scenario but I remember that one time I was watching Legends of Avantris vods and Kremy loved unicorns and was about to go up to the unicorn carousel and he talking about “Do you think they let you ride it more than once?” “Oh which unicorn do I choose?”. And then I stopped watching the vod right then, right there and didn’t look at the series for a month bc I didn’t know if I could take it if he didn’t get Everything he wanted. I continued the series after a month and cried until he got up there and got to ride the unicorns and was happy.

As someone who likes to appear cool and tough, you can understand my distress-

Reopening all of my farming simulator games, trying to remember what I was doing in each one bc I started all of them at once and took a break. I don’t think I’m gonna make it.

TFW you write by the seat of your pants and you’re following your bullet points and it occurs to you that you have NO idea how to transition scenes here. Like the previous scene is OVER, it’s time for us to move into the Next Bullet Point but it is. Simply. Not going. At all. So you just sit there typing the characters bantering like “Fun character banter take the wheeeeeeel~ take it from my handssssss~ idk how to get this guy into this lady’s bed~—“

I cannot keep getting obsessed with random people’s OCs like this. There’s no fandom. It’s none of my friends’ specialties. None of them care. I can’t tell anyone how I spent two weeks hunting down the lore posts. I could draw fanart of it but also the person who made the OCs will Most Definitely see it and see me. And I imagine you can only draw so much fanart for OCs with no media except unconnected art pieces before it gets kinda weird. You can’t complain about there being no content bc you’re complaining about the one (1) person making the content and that’s mean. And I’M NOT DOING ANY BETTER WITH MY OWN OCS. There’s only so many compliments you can sting together. I can’t. I can’t keep doing this.

People who make OCs, out there, everywhere, know I care!!! I CARE!!!!!!! FRANKLY I CARE TOO MUCH!!!! KEEP MAKING OC STUFF!!!! Do what you want. Don’t let anyone stop you.

Dawg I just got the most diabolical idea that I shared about 2 years ago but imma share it here

Psimon fears hospitals. But Dev ends up in the hospital after a mission so he had to tough it out while simulatiously not have a mental breakdown and Onsalught is just so fucking concerned—-

(just sharing an angsty idea so you can suffer alongside me :3)

NOOOOOO I CANT DO ANGST Well I can but…okay, you see, I don’t read angst but I’ll write angst. That’s my relationship with angst.

That is sick and twisted though. And also romantic. But like! Poor Devastation! Poor Psimon! D: I strangely love hospitals but nearly everyone else in my family has medical phobias and like, that stuff is REAL. And have of them don’t even have an experience that made them afraid, but Psimon???? Oh no. Like…

Trudging through the cold, white lights. Through the sterile bleach and pine-cleaner smell that just reminds his disease and death now. Through the all too familiar, almost mocking noises of the hospital machinery that drove him insane all those years JUST TO BE BY DEVASTATION’S SIDE WAHH I CANT DO THIS whatever, whatever, something like that, they’re great. They’re in love. They’re evil. That’s all that matters.

Psimon doing everything he can to take care of Devastation, leaving nothing for the rest of Onslaught to do. But that’s okay bc the rest of Onslaught can just take care of Psimon. They’re gonna have to, he’s going to overextend himself and the hospital is going to Get To Him. 😔

Playing Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town! And the besties are Ripping Me To Shreds over the bed setup THAT I CANNOT CONTROL—

HELLO?????

I’m rewatching Young Justice and got to the episode “Secrets” and in disbelief that ghosts are a canon thing in this universe and only one ghost is shown ever (to my memory). So I will propose to you the sleep deprived and caffeine infused idea that has been plaguing my mind for the past few hours:

Onslaught encounters a temperamental ghost haunting there base….shenigans ensue

(Always Sunny in Philadelphia Theme Plays)

PLEASE, that’d be so fun. I gotta rewatch that episode. I don’t know the exact details, but if Greta is the only ghost we see (I’m guessing things like the spirits of people in the Fate helmet are different things and she’s our only example) …idk…ghosts can’t speak much if at all, they float, disappear, reappear, touch some things but other things go through her? Manifest images with enough effort. I’d assume they get telekinesis privileges.

That’d be chaos. Idk if a ghost could even harm Onslaught but oh, the psychological warfare would be so effective. It would drive them crazy. I don’t think any of their powers could even work on a ghost either so they just can’t do anything about it.

I honestly think it would straight up take them days to consider “Oh hey, maybe we should help the ghost rest or something.” As opposed to violence. Which is unfortunate for them since that looks to be…like…the ONLY way to fix a haunting. XD oh man it’d be chaos

Just finished Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, chapter 2! Thoughts and opinions:

I am Loving these hitmen. Nearsighted Jeego, One Step Ahead Tengo, I hope there’s more, I hope they all come back….though I also kinda hope it doesn’t become a problem for me. Oh, Capcom game dogs named Missile, my beloved. Very endearing dog. <3 I’m not usually automatically endeared to animals so it’s saying something.

wdym that purple haired lil girl isn’t Lynne’s sister??? WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE????? They DO seem to have a sisterly dynamic, like we meet Lynne and think she’s the hapless, funny klutz one and then we meet Kamila, and Lynne calls her up already sick of her nonsense. That’s sisterly love. I know this, I am the himbo, comedic older sister. I like them both sm.

omg detectives detecting detectives

GANT ACE ATTORNEY??? TWINKED UP ON A TUESDAY NIGHT????

omg detectives detecting detectives detecting detectives

and they were detectives

very endeared to everyone rn. Green suit and blue suit detectives, my beloved. Weird prissy family with unknown drama, my beloved. Lynne and Kamila and Missile, my beloved. SISSEL MY BELOVED we got his name. I love how his corpse is just labeled “Sissel”. Like yeah, nothing unusual here. He’s got so much swag, so much rizz, he’s also so stupid, I wanna be him, peak male form.

Being only somewhat familar with the Walten Files rn is so fun.

Me, upon being asked if ik the Walten Files: Yes, yes, the white men, Buddy Holly and dad, and the five nights at Freddy’s pt 2 and the lesbians. We all know them.

Me seeing it on my For You page:

Ghost trick fan ghost trick fan ghost trick fan!!

YEAHHHHHHH GHOST TRICK MENTION!‼️‼️‼️!!!!!🦅🦅👻👻 WHAT…what th…what the f…what’s an identity, I don’t-

My wifi is quitting and the only video that will play is an edit of Nagito Komeda. Do you even realize the effect this can have on a person’s psyche?

Man, I got too many clips of Onslaught in my camera roll. You know it’s bad when your phone won’t let you open your dang camera, email, glitches you delete stuff, crashes your browsers (tho that may have to do with the 1849 tabs but I digress)

I would delete them but also you just can’t find Young Justice clips anywhere. I’m assuming they got a legal team of assassins back there-

Trying my darnedest to not reblog anyone’s post from 19 years ago just to be careful bc idk how that’s taken on tumblr as opposed to other social media but I did tell Tumblr to not do ANY algorithm things (e.g. recommend me things based on my likes) ALSO just to be safe so that’s 90% of what gets recommended to me and the other 10% is it throwing darts in the dark.

What's your favourite evil literary trope and favourite good literary trope, and if they battled which would win?

YOOOO. Yo. Yo. I’m already so excited to answer this, this is such a good question, even though I’m not …100% sure what this means. If I misconstrue what you’re saying or something I mention doesn’t qualify or you wanna hear about…idk, second favorites, you can totally ask again. I love talking about. Media. oughhh…hmmmm…oh, I’m gonna go on a while aren’t I? Sorry in advance.

Okay, like, any trope that occurs in books? Most of my favorite tropes are the same across any medium. Does like, a character trope work? Like an archetype? Bc I do have a lot of favorite archetypes if they count. They’re usually my favorite kinds of tropes and easier to label as good or evil.

My favorite type of evil character is probably the good ol’ mad scientist. I’m SUCH a sucker for them. Anyone who knows me will tell you.

As for good, heroic character…hm…is strong woman a trope? Like lady knights, buff ladies, the one woman in the military squad that does not get Love Interest-Ed and probably dies….I think it’s kinda a trope, a rarer one, but it’s there.

In a fight, it’s probably easier to guess who’ll win since they’re characters but it still depends to me. If we’re allowed weapons, prep time, etc. etc…mad scientist is probably winning. They tends to have more plot armor too, while strong ladies Usually aren’t the protagonists but more dispensable side characters. Sudden fist fight tho? Idk if it matters what kind of strong warrior lady we go with, mad scientists are so regularly portrayed as having the constitution of a paper bag. I love both tropes sm tho, when a mad scientist is good, when a buff lady is evil, when they meet, when they don’t, when they’re enemies, when they’re friends, when they working for each other, when they’re kissinWho said that

Now, if we mean ANYTHING BUT character tropes uhh. Well thankfully I’ve been watching a lot of Overly Sarcastic Productions, I got some fresh in my mind.

okay…so like…a good plot trope and a evil plot trope? Mmm that’s harder, uh.

Ooo can I say when the bad guy gets a redemption? Power of friendship style? It’s probably a good trope. I love it sm, idc how cheesy it can get. As long as it’s slapdash and not just so the hero can make out sloppy style with the villain in good conscious, I always get incredibly soft about it. If its the hero winning them over with friendship, if they’re just genuinely working for good now to suit their own selfish means, if it’s just the villain realizing “oh…I have Not been as good as I thought.”, if they just get bound by some dare or curse to work for good now, etc. it’s always so fun to me.

As far as evil? It’s harder for me to think of an evil plot trope. I’m tempted say like, the plot twist where a main character was the evil one all along? But I specifically love the ones where THAT CHARACTER did not know it until the twist, due to amnesia or brainwashing or they were a sleeper agent. It IS evil but is it a trope? And also it’s like, a gateway into “redemption of a bad character” but AGAIN. How about “the horrors were manmade all along”? You see some scary monster or some eldtrich god or kaiju or malfunctioning robot overlord and wonder how this happened, and it’s eventually revealed that like “oh. Some scientist had a lot of hubris. Some military group wanted a better weapon. Just some rich guy was curious. Behind the monster was a Frankenstein.”. Pretty good stuff imo. And I think it qualifies as evil. The horror is usually malicious and the creator is usually evil or at least misguided in some definition. Man I’m a sucker for a hubristic downfall…probably why I love mad scientists sm. Or vise versa.

Now, in a fight? I think “the horrors were manmade, humanity destroyed itself, the downfall of your hubris” is absolutely Destroying “bad guy become good guy [brought to you by friendship <3]”. The horrors May be able to be converted but like. Fat chance.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk, IM SORRY I WENT ON SO LONG

I kept getting caught between ‘fanfic tag’ tropes (e.g. hurt/comfort, slow burn, fixit, only one bed, major character death, sickfic, etc.) and ‘that’s just whole genre of story’ tropes (e.g. noir detective, military group realizes they’ve been deceived and fighting for evil all along, uprising against big evil corporation, mundane boring guy doing mundane boring job is also an assassin, etc.) so I tried to keep it firmly in the middle, trying to think of normal book tropes. I’m hoping that’s what you meant? But if not, you can ask me again! I want to answer properly and I’ll happily go on again!…actually kinda hoping I got it wrong bc I disqualified so many tropes I adore while writing this, I’d love to rant about them XD maybe keep it more concise on any “next time”s though.

Thank you SM for such a good question! And if you or anyone else has their own they’d like to share, I’d be happy to listen :3c|

Not to bother you with more Psimon stuff but——

I was rewatching Steven universe, and Idk if you’ve seen it but there’s one where Lapis is trapped in a mirror and uses it to communicate w Steven, and the way she does so is by replaying certain words said throughout the day.

With the headcanon of Psimon communicating with radio waves/electricity, like imagine him telling Junior to do the dishes by manipulating the radio into saying “go do the dishes”

I have NOT seen Steven Universe but that sounds SO COOL OMG! That’d be absolutely hilarious like, idek if that’s within the reach of his powers but I wanna say yes just bc it’d be so funny.

And dw about bothering me! It may take me awhile to respond sometimes but it makes the void of tumblr feel a lot less empty XD I do appreciate it and I love to hear y’all’s thoughts! <3
