Spoiler warning a bit

Like last year or a couple years ago idk I'm bad with time I had this idea for Disability Pride Month (which is July I think?) to have different characters I had special interest in, who had allegorical and/or literal narratives of disability that really struck me, especially those that included rage against ableism, against the system, and taking their power back in some way (maybe bc of all the jokes about Wrath Month). And then ironically I never got around to it because of my messy ADHD

I was gonna do studies with each character and wrote little notes about how their story arcs involved disability, etc.

Shed 17 struck me hard from a disability perspective, both because the biofused had such brutal physical things happening to their bodies (Thomas moving without fuel by his own strength nearly killing him, and the horrible things that happen when the engines organic parts malfunction, for examples) AND because they were simultaneously being exploited and left to die. I felt Thomas's rage at the end of Project G-1, the pain of being taken advantage of in so many ways, finally breaking through and laying blame on his abusers and "allies" who watched and did nothing alike.

He sighed

Young Thomas Gotze !

Enjoy !

Football pictures re-imagined as (Hallmark) Christmas movies :[because I was stuck in the airport for 3 hours and too much time on hand]

Merry Christmas to anyone that celebrates and happy holidays to everyone ❤❤

Inspiration for this cringe fest —: 1. Just in Time for Christmas as Just in Time for Croatia. 2. A Princess for Christmas as A Midfielder for England. 3. The Christmas House as The Football House. 4. Chatue Christmas as League Cup Christmas (I don't regret it one bit). 5. One Royal Holiday as One Bayern Holiday. 6. The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. 7. Write Before Christmas as Write Before World Cup. 8. Christmas Comes Twice. 9. A Very Merry Mix-up as A very Spurs Mix-up. 10. A Bride for Christmas as A Defender for Madrid

I wanna laugh...but I don't know if I'm allowed..

cora’s bad time hell simulation steps or how to play “sprite station for girl” “harvest moon ds cute” the wrong way

(all ways are wrong this game is Accursed)

ok so here’s what my disorganized “guide” to myself for harvest moon ds for girl (aka indecipherable notes i wrote to myself as i played and revised as i tested various things and restarted due to mistakes) looks like. at some point when i become a real gamer i will write a legible guide meant for eyes to look at but uhhh this is how i play this accursed game personally

i’m not sure if anything i wrote will make any sense since i wrote it as notes to myself so probably definitely use fogu and fc2 jonason wiki (may not work but some pages should be archived) instead

ALSO if you’ve never played or barely played the game it won’t make sense at all! hmds was my first harvest moon so i am used to various horrors!

my play style is probably not fun in general HOWEVER if you are a grinding hell goblin like me then it’s GREAT!!!! if not you may still find it amusing that the game gives you permission to play like this

(it’s a great background task game while doing like productive stuff but otherwise playing this way would probably be unbearable)

(image limit)

anyway after that the days go a lot faster, you’ll get the island on summer 1, so on spring 30 i put all my money into million G tickets and sell 200 of em, do the 5x money thing, and save the rest. so when thomas comes the next day to sell you the 900 million G island you can just sell 180 tickets and do the 5x money thing again with like ~600 million G tickets left over. it takes up inventory but you’ll get the shelf in a few days. basically you just need to remember to order from the TV shopping every saturday and place orders with gotz and gray whenever they finish stuff.

random tips

after unlocking the fuckass hot spring sprites (the ones that require you to spend a total of 700 1 hour sessions in the hot springs) i usually grind grazing points— if you put your animals outside for 5 hours you get a “Love Point”, but if you interact with them after they earn that LP then the timer switches over and you can get another LP after 5 more hours. if you wear the time ring the whole time it’s 2.5 hours. i’m not very good at explaining this but basically if you’re super efficient you can get way more animal LP than you realistically should, which is great because the touch glove petting minigame is Bad!!!!

i usually wait on getting the rest of the purple sprites (the ones that require you to hire the purple team and ask for healing) until i’m totally done with the indigo team, cuz i wanna get HG’s purple heart event asap, but you can switch the order if you want

by summer y1 you’ll basically have a feel for everything. aside from Skye, Leia, HG and WP everyone can be married early-mid autumn if you want

if you want to Gay (in the japanese version only) keira is the quickest to marry. leia is the quickest to max affection but it’s impossible to get leia year 1 because the bottle you need to fish up can only be caught in spring. you have to wait until at least year 5 for WP and iirc year 6 for HG.

🌟Thomas Gotz is with us again... And now he's in a nuthouse...

I need help finding this blonde German soccer player that was active in 2014 (idk if he plaid in the world cup). He is NOT Neuer, Trapp, Reus, Schweinger, Mario Gotze, or the Polish guy.

I love how you came to me for this 🤭

A quick Google gives the following suggestions:

Per Mertesacker

Matthias Ginter

André Schürrle

Toni Kroos

Christoph Kramer

Joshua Kimmich

Erik Durm

Thomas Müller

Sven Bender

Lars Bender

The fact that you're not sure whether they were in the wc squad that year doesn't help

If any of you have suggestions, let me know! I never followed Germany at international tournaments, kinda comes with being Dutch

Germany fail yet again at a World Cup

Paddy Morgan investigates why Germany failed to qualify for the knockout stages at both 2018 and 2022 World Cup.

Brazil

Germany won the 2014 World Cup after beating Argentina one nil. Mario Götze was the hero for Germany as he scored the winning goal against Argentina in extra-time. Germany went into the 2018 World Cup as defending champions and were drawn in the group stages against Mexico, South Korea and Sweden. Germany also went into the 2018 World Cup as number one in FIFA rankings after their success in 2014. Germany were under pressure to qualify to the knockout stages of 2018 World Cup after losing their first match against Mexico.

South Korea

A good response by Germany as they won their second group game against Sweden. They needed to win against South Korea in their final group stage game to advance to the last 16. It looked like that Germany vs South Korea was going to end in a draw but that changed as Korea scored two goals in added time. A bad defeat for Germany as they failed to advance to the knockout stages of 2018 World Cup. My opinion is that it’s always difficult to play well in the following World Cup as defending champions.

Fallout

2018 was the first time since the 1938 World Cup that Germany didn’t advance to the knockout stages. Joachim Low confirmed in March 2021 that Russia was his last World Cup as he decided to step down as Germany manager after Euro 2020. Low has been in charge since 2006 and his biggest highlight was when Germany won the 2014 World Cup. My opinion is things got a bit stale and it was the right time for change.

Experience

Five-time Champions League winner Toni Kroos decided to retire from Germany in 2021. Kroos was very influential for Germany as he played 106 times for his country. Kroos scored 17 goals for Germany and 31 is very early to retire with fellow Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric 37 still showing that class is permanent in Qatar. Kroos was remarkable in Real Madrid winning the 2021/2022 Champions League and my opinion is that calling time on his national team was a shock.

Team for Qatar

Hasmi Flick won the 2019/2020 Champions League with Bayern Munich and was appointed Germany manager for 2022 World Cup. Manuel Neuer 36 is still number one for Qatar and 2020/2021 Champions League winner with Chelsea Antonio Rudiger is a leader in defence. Germany midfield for Qatar included 2014 World Cup hero & 63 caps Mario Gotze, 62 caps & four-time Premier League winner with Manchester City Ilkay Gundogan and 70 caps Joshua Kimmich who won the 2019/2020 Champions League with Bayern Munich. The spine of the team is still strong with Rudiger, Gundogan, Kimmich and Neuer.

Forward

Serge Gnabury has pace on the wing and was in good form going into Qatar with scoring eight goals for Bayern Munich in the 2022/2023 Bundesliga. Chelsea forward Kai Havertz is capable in scoring a big goal as he scored the winner in the 2020/2021 Champions League Final. Other players in the forward line for Qatar were two-time Premier League winner with Man City Leroy Sane and 2014 World Cup winner Thomas Muller. Strong forward line for Qatar but they are without former Chelsea striker Timo Werner.

Qatar

Germany were drawn against Spain, Costa Rica and Japan for the group stages in Qatar. They took the lead against Japan but capitulated in the second half to lose by a score line of 2-1. Like Russia, Germany needed to win their second game against Spain. Germany played much better in the second half against Spain and equalised thanks to Niclas Fulikrug on 83 minutes. Germany finished the game strong against Spain but didn’t do enough to win the game. Germany needed to score eight goals and hoped Spain went through as group winners. Germany scored four goals against Costa Rica but went out after Japan got a historic win against Spain.

What’s next

Flick didn’t last long as Germany manager as he left after their failure in Qatar. As mentioned above, my opinion is that Germany still have a strong squad but Muller was forced to play up front in Qatar as they were without Werner. All things come around in different cycle’s and it won’t be long before Germany are contending at either World Cup’s or Euros again.

I drew Thomas Gotze from Shed 17 and Project G-1.

He looks so cute when he's normal but he's creepy when he's evil.

Guess who I drew

Yeah it’s Mr. Gotze

I’m very proud of this because it’s probably my first rendered drawing

We are a week into September (pre- October) and since my personal projects and school are not going to allow me to do art for Halloween I’m going to let you guys see a piece of fanart I did for shed17/ project-g1 last year. I don’t have a clear opinion on this particular side of the fandom. I watched it, I drew a thing and that’s it. It was my excuse to practice gore, scars and blood. So yeah that’s also the warning. Proceed on your own risk.
