Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

aegon is brokenstar coded (child fighting enjoyer) and joffrey is breezepelt coded do you think if they were warriorcats aegon would be joffrey's evil dark forest mentor

i don't really know how to word this but like i feel like i'm gonna forever have to deal with the pain and heartache of one of my very first pokémon games- the first 'normal' pokémon game i've ever played, that i will have lasting nostalgia and love for as a result of it being formative to my introduction into the series- being the one that will forever be looked down upon for bad graphics and technical issues as a result of the game having been rushed

like i honest to goodness want to scream and yell and cry into the void about how this means everything to me and will always be one of my fave games just in general. but how am i gonna do that without someone being like 'the broken overpriced mess? the one that's missing all this stuff from the older games that was great? the thing with all the cringe? that one?' or whatever. and the thing is they aren't wrong for their criticisms either like i know the fact that they rushed this wonderful game hardcore is a massive stain on its reputation and it hurts me too but like i cannot turn off the brain full of love in me and be a mean critic. or even an impartial one. i mean i criticize everything i love don't get me wrong i am constantly running my mouth about what i like and don't like. but at the end of the day i approach all media with an unusually optimistic mindset. if you see me talk a ton about something no matter what i'm saying you can bet it means i love it.

just. aaagh. it's always tough being a new fan of an old series. i'm like too embarrassed to express my opinions bc i feel like they're invalid y'know? i feel so exhausted every time i see something to the effect of like 'oh those poor kids these days having to deal with such bad quality everything what a bad time to be a fan of pokémon wow y'all make me feel so old' well see the thing is i actually am thriving and i love it here. and i'm also an adult myself so i have more critical thinking skills than people who played red when they were like five years old did. and even with the power of critical thinking i manage to be in love with this. join me in marvelling at the beauty of life

thinking about how absolutely masochistic it is to be a Colin fan in this fandom.

He never gets a narrative, never gets any real agency in stories, his reaction to discovering a close friend of his has been lying to him, destroyed his engagement without his say, fucked over his family, went Misogyny Barbie on main with her own cousin and her best friend, embarrassed him publicly is limited to either going into an inexplicable horny frenzy or to be spinelessly gentle in the face of harms committed against him. Never allowed to be angry unless it's for sex, never allowed to display neurodivergency in the form of misunderstanding his feelings, not knowing the right thing to say, not understanding what love is or entails. Constantly called stupid for truly batshit reasons. People reveling in him 'suffering' or the weird unbalanced 'penance' he needs to go through to 'prove' to Pen that he 'cares for her' (how very Catholic of y'all. interesting Pen never has to do the same for objectively worse). Denied having any depth whatsoever, in fact: no need for hobbies or friends or interests outside of those that serve Penelope and HER narrative.

Colin is meant to. . .what? Come out of several months in which his friend froze him out for seemingly no reason, assist her in fulfilling her dreams, support her endlessly, apologize profusely for one singular comment, and then find out she was the straight up villain in his life for three years running and go 'that's so sexy of you, babe'?

he's not a character in this ship. he's a cardboard cutout and it's SO unfulfilling and flat

i put pokemon card mystery packs on my etsy just now. just a stack of bulk from my year of collecting pokemon cards. i'll be turning in a bunch of bulk to the card shops, but I thought wouldnt it be fun to make my own mystery packs? i always loved goodie bags, grab bags, blind bags, and gacha. its a thrill of opening something and getting something unexpected more than the items themselves.

altho getting a $100 card is pretty neat. Here's the link if you're interested~ https://www.etsy.com/listing/1717302949/pokemon-tcg-bulk-mystery-goodie-pack-of

Top ten characters HRT could have saved

I think prob what i dont like abt the art is that its rendered, but like no thought was put into composition or anything else. Like it's just really really well rendered. It's an art style trend that I personally dislike.

It's kinda like when you see art with a blob guy/stickfigure but with like really really detailed eyes put onto it vibes but make it professional. It's not even a unique thing, because (to compare to another medium) it's like a trend I see in like animation memes where the art is really really good but then the tweening is stilted and janky.

Clearly the artist is skilled, just very specialized in one thing.

I've got zero knowledge of whatever rendering technique is being used lol so take my VERY novice opinion with a grain of salt but I'm actually not crazy about his rendering style. The way the fur is done gives it a very fuzzy almost blurry look to it that I personally don't care for.

I don't know if I necessarily agree he's specialized in one thing, his other artwork is super well done and fun to look at. I just think he's not being given enough time or direction (or maybe both?) to make more dynamic pieces. But that's my theory lol idk what's going on behind the scenes.

i havent been to the library in foreveeeerrrr (less than a month) im dying.... dyyyyiiiinnng.... neeeeedddd boooooookkkkkkssss.... (lives in a house thay contains more books than any other house on earth)

everytime i see a show focused on a female character and all the fandom obsessing over some other guy i get skeptical but holy shit is that old dude fascinating

last night i fucked up so bad in bg3 lol

spoilers for act 2 under the line

so i was exploring the shar gauntlet, found some rats, read too quickly through their lines and understood that if i left them alone, they would guide me to some treasure. so naturally, everywhere i saw the rats, i followed!!! i was doing some exploring along the way, did the trials (i was so mad at myself because i picked up the game one after one week of vacation and forgot that we could HIDE and had to restart the HIDING trial so. many. times UGH i'm so dumb) anyways

i followed the rats. now you remember that while you're exploring the shar temple Raphael has tasked us with killing an old foe of his in exchange for intel abaout astarion's scars right???? that's what i wanted to do. find the foe. kill him. make my vampire boyfriend happy.

but i fucked up. i fucked up so bad x)

i followed the rats down to some bone pit, where they promptly attacked me without warning. i killed them all. then the guy the rats were made of (?) appeared, he was the last dark justicar of the temple. i killed him too, naturally. he had some good stuff on him, i was happy.

I carry on exploring the temple, with difficulty. i stumble upon a room with some friendly (?) dudes and one big guy who turns out to be raphael's foe that he asked us to kill!!!!! but i don't know that when i find him chilling in his throne room. so i talk to him. turns out the dude has been fucked by raphael (of course), his contract specified that he had to kill every. last. dark justicar. in the temple. but he couldn't, because that guy turned into rats and hid forever!! and by killing that guy, i fulfilled that dude's contract, free him basically.

raphael pops up, is mad at me. because he lost his contracted guy.

astarion is mad at me cause now raphael won't tell him about the scars.

everyone's mad.

i was livid. x)

anyways i reloaded a MUCH earlier save, did not kill the rats, managed to find the big dude ambush by myself this time, promptly killed him without mercy (poor guy he was just being played by raphael in the end) and then at camp raphael showed up and astarion got what he wanted. also i wanna kill cazador so bad (((((((((((((:

and then i went again and killed the rats lol

moids will say the biggest nonsense with the world's whole confidence and continue with their days

danny literally has the same sense a humor as a dad but is completely unaware of this and i think if you pointed this out to him he'd be mortified by that lol

yknow what bugs me is when ppls criticism of YA media boils down to them just not knowing how teenage crushes work

me and my friend read the magic trick theory on discord and it felt like the spongebob disappointed sound
