#...its tangentially related anyway

[hahanoiwont]

i do not have polls yet but: i am considering making a little Gaster wartime backstory, because he was ambiguously alive during the human-monster war and had an interesting experience with it. It wouldn’t be as brutally bloody as most war aus, but might be pretty heavy in terms of how there’s a genocide in the background and Gaster, as a 20something, has to cope with it. He doesn’t know any of our other beloved characters yet, so it would pretty much just be him and some OCs, though I may make it interspersed with some flashes forward to his life later or something.

ANYWAY all this to say, is there interest in this? thoughts? or should I just jump into WWU’s spinoff sequel and finish my WIPs?

the sonic movies are fun but if they turn this into a fucked up cinematic universe im going to sink my claws into something. do not force me to Consume a million miniseries and spin-offs just so i can understand the plot of a single movie. do not ruin this for me

#soda offers you a can #look. early 2000s sonic games all tie into a larger narrative. but with the exception of shth you don't Need to play all of them #you can pick up sa2 and enjoy it on its own without sa1. you can pick up heroes and enjoy it one its own. same for 06 #shth rides on you knowing what happened in sa2 and a bit about heroes but it's a very exceptional game in many ways anyway #so it gets a pass. it's spiders george and we can have one of those #point being that i don't want these movies to become an impenetrable wall of lore #where you have to watch everything tangentially related to them to get the full experience #miniseries and shit are fine but i don't want to be required to Consume Consume Consume if i want to enjoy One Movie once every 3-5 years #without feeling like im missing key details and elements and shit #sorry i just thought about marvel for a bit and turned into a feral animal im good now

what is it about white guys who are complete assholes to everyone in the narrative that attracts absolute droves of fangirls who then take it as a personal offense when said asshole gets redeemed at the very last second and inevitably dies

#snape kylo izzy etc many such cases. at least izzy's redemption was done well #ofmd spoilers #tangentially related but its not like redemption cant end in death. death in fiction is not always moral #i dislike the take that redemption is 'thrown away' if the character dies #anyway. fascinating trend lowkey hope it never dies

guys i made a mistake.

#aka i scrolled through the entire becker siblings tag again on a whim and now im shinjichairpose.png #i dont even have specific thoughts theyre just rotating in my brain now #theres like. very small tidbits that i have stuck in there currently #like their weird thing with control(because i am thinking about that 24/7) #cyrus who needs control vs fawn who defers to it vs river who hates it #how they did that i dont know but im going to take a wild guess and say that its Very unhealthy #and also their relationship to both ortegas #i guess thats only tangentially related to the becker siblings but also like. the ortegas talking about the siblings together #getting drunk and grieving together and trading stories and blaming eachother for letting them die #getting out of their posthb messes because they dont have any (becker) siblings to depend on anymore so theyll have to settle for eachother #also in the survivor!river au im specifically haunted by the fact that river 'does not include ricardo in the package' when julia- #becomes his sibling #the resentment from All sides there??? holy shit #thats gotta blow up eventually right #like i can see ricardo feeling extremely guilty about river but at the same time???? him getting Angry #that river has the Audacity to steal his sister and not even treat him any better for it #so what if he lost his siblings? doesnt mean he has the right to have ricardos #Really funny fucked up reflection of fawns beef with julia but this time its the other way around #.anyway. <-experiencing normal thoughts and emotions #cyrus becker(s) #nmoc: fawn becker(s) #nmoc: river becker(s) #keeping up with the beckers #pulp speaks

this year i really had a module called "british culture" &i got my best grade on it out of all of them this semester

#wooed the corrector/maybe my professor if he was the one doing the correction bu laying out my Television Interest faxxxxx #that were in the textbook we had to read now i know so much about those Isles & i hate the english so much #& i am scotland & ireland biggest fan #i also found the contents of my textbook in some chinese learning(?) website that looked a million years old #like for chinese people who were probably going to the UK to learn about it & its history ETC #the reason why i even retained so much is because i got hooked by the mentions of my TV Interest sprinkled in & it developed from there #like cheese in a mouse trap #shockingly the most i retained is the history bit starting from the iron age to like now ( well the late 90s/2000s anyway ) #my professor was probably like wow she really did read the textbook. which i did but only because of the Mentions here & there #otherwise i would not really GAF as much as i did #i am physically incapable of caring about anything unless it is tangentially related to whatever my interest is #which is why i graduated highschool by a miracle from the Heavens last year because i literally had nothing but my Interest #in my mind no matter what i tried especially during prep days. i graduated with a 10/20 flat BTW that is 10.00 ... Trve Miracle

ive seen some posts like "xenologue!alcryst is the opposite of canon!alcryst but xenologue!céline is just normal céline but Extreme" but like. i dont think thats whays goin on here exactly

like, lets look at céline, yeah? her canon! character traits are, like, most prominently is her kindness, followed by her devotion to her people, followed by the least shown one, which would be how she's willing to do just about anything to protect her people.

now lests look at alcryst. most notable: his imposter syndrome and utter self hatred, his love/caring/admiration/whatever the word im looking for is for people, specifically his family (esp diamant) (to the point where its his personal skill), and finally, barely shown, he is shown to be... maybe not like full on bloodthirsty but like yknow? (thinking mainly about how he ends up threatening ivy in the chapter 11 post battle talk) (also about how luna (negates/ignore's half of foe's defense and resistance) is a skill locked to him) (probably as a counterpart to sol (which is locked to diamant), but oddly fitting)

in both cases, the second trait at least a little bit informs the first and the third, yeah? so to me it looks like the scale has been reversed, really, rather than their xenologue counterparts being their opposites. like, theey are, but like on the same sliding scale or smth yknow?

#i really hope thats the right accent on her name #mia's mumblings #fire emblem engage #do note that i have been a dumbass in regards to posts about this game before so take all i say with a grain of salt yeah? #tangentially related- i love love love sun and moon symbolism like i cannot talk about it (or much else) due to no thoughts but like #yknow? #~~also smth smth moonlight is just reflected sunlight which in this context- OUCH- but yknow~~ #come to think of it. wow i went on a few tangents lmao #dont mind my wording and the typos its 2 in the morning and i have brainrot #also you can see that im not at all normal about alcryst #anyways. excuse my rambling lmao #also speaking of him can we talk. about how several of his exploration/somniel quotes seem to deal with suicidal ideation/thoughts. #i feel like thats important #''how does his (whatever the word is) for people inform his sealf loathing'' constant comparing himself to them negatively whats how

what happened to cracking open a cold one with the boys. we should bring that back

sometimes i go a little bit insane thinking about the towns of early western america and how many just aren’t there anymore people’s whole lives washed away by sand and sun with nothing but dry, old wood and stone foundations and mines, now empty, to prove they’d ever been there.

sometimes i go a bit nuts thinking about all the cemeteries no one has visited in decades because they are miles from any development, now. wooden headstones reduced to kindling and the stone ones worn down so far that you’re lucky to make out a single letter. fences that have long since stopped serving their purpose.

places built to be temporary but even still were at one point were full of people’s friends and family and hope. i don’t know. a little crazy about it rn

#every time i think about cowboys i am like overcome with. i don't even know #something about how the media has given them so much more credit than they deserve but also by doing so obscured their genuine role #the diminished importance of the miner whos life often ended violently and abruptly #the hundreds of ancedotes we will never be privy to #standing in what is essentially the living corpse of something that once was.... #am i even making sense #i dont know #this was brought on bc i was thinking about tumble town. again. #i never have anything interesting to say about tumble town but its a wonderful catalyst for me losing my mind over ghost towns #i get to bring up the highwayman as a little treat. to myself. bc the highwayman is SUCH a good western au fic #i'm not an expert. NOR am i going to hold the highwayman up as a paragon of historical accuracy bc that's just not what its aiming for #nor should it have to #but it is so much more grounded than a lot of western fics. it is so atmospheric and at least to me it captured the vibe #of being out in that kind of enviroment SO well #LIKE! i don't even know how to describe it. just vibes!!!! #it reminded me of what it was like standing in one of those old towns. the way things were laid out and everything. idk! i like the highwaym #have i made that clear LOL #ANYWAY! #this post that is only tangentially related to the blog's subject is sponsored by the dutch bros drink i ALSO got myself as a treat!

Imagine Mandroid does something drastic and uses a portal machine to send every Cybertronian to the dead universe only for it to go horribly wrong with him being killed by a fusion cannon shot from a TFP version of Megatron as the machine brings in the TFP, TFA, Cyberverse and WFC versions of the Autobots and Decepticons.

hi. ive read and reread this ask 5 times and i still dont know what to say to this

#ask #multi-muse-transect #transformers #is this tangentially related to the earthspark spoilers i posted??? im so lost #anyways i really do hope mandroid isn't the main s1 villain i dont know if i wanna see him again #its worth it tho. if it means we get to see [spoilers]

im going to have NO drawing tablet for the next 4 days so that means i can add NO new animatic frames because im unable to draw with the mouse. absolutely demolished rn

^me when im drawing with the mouse

#the way my keyboard has me typing moues instead of moues f. did u see that. mousse. anyway the way its moues instead of mouse for a solid 5 #i GUESS i could ACTUALLY do my ACTUAL work which has been piling up....ooor. hear me out. i could continue working on the animatic...by #starting on coloring...which is v doable with the mouse! just a bit more of a pain #ohh ooor better yet. i can do actual sketches for the next parts instead of just having numbers and little lines show up shfflsdkjdsjk #ok that's it no work tonight only animatic /j #/hj #hmm. this doesnt qualify for a post which contains no art but also its a shitpost #artposting #nailed it #tagging these kinda things as artposting from now on #urgh i guess that's reason enough to update my pinned.....gotta add that i get into a silly goofy mood every now n then and post some a thes #tangentially art related things on occasion #later...not now #OH. or something thats very easy to do w the moues: getting an actually good quality piece of the song hslfdkjdjsdfs

it is really unfortunate the way suicidality is talked about nowadays because it’s either all a joke so it’s hard to discuss in a serious capacity or it’s so upsettingly serious that you can’t even discuss it without fear of like being institutionalized

#brot posts #im really glad to say this but ive had such a huge improvement this past month that like #for the first time in YEARS. i am not suicidal #dont know if its permanent but like it genuinely feels permanent because i have not gone this long without #thinking about it at least in passing #to go this long without a single thougjt of it at all feels like its permanent and i have to remind myself its literally been A Month #but anyway #sorry i saw a post thats only tangentially related to this but im like. irked right now #like its hard to stress this in the current har har i m gonna kill myself era. but like if you seriously think negatively about #people who are suicidal or have killed themselves; if you're religious and believe suicide is a mortal sin; if you cannot offer #any sort of reasonable sympathy for someone who is suicidal #then like. im sorry! but that is ableism! #it feels kinda wild to associate ableism with suicidality what with the current environment and weird funny-zation of being suicidal #but like legitimately. this is a mental illness. it is not a laughing matter and it should be met with kindness and an appropriate #level of weight that it deserves - not levity. not annoyance. and not brushing it off for whatever reason #im saying this with the clear head that i now have a month into zero suicidal thoughts after years of daily suicidal thoughts #having that stark contrast in the quality of my life really shines a light on just how utterly fucked it was to live like that #and it really smarts at me to finally reach the light at the end of the tunnel and then have people act like it wasnt as bad as it was #people who have never experienced it before themselves - like who are you to tell me my own life and experiences and illness? #to act like it wasnt even an illness in the first place?

Yea you do learn Ns name here you go, I've never played so I dunno XD

oh no i do know his full name! but as far as i remember said name was never actually IN the games, it was on game freak's website. at least thats what i'm getting from bulbapedia since it lists that as the source of n's full name and not an ingame quote or smth

while writing this i did remember the game reveals the harmonia part of his name but not the gropius part, or that n was short for anything

#asks #clai speaks #why give him a full name and never actually say it in game i've always wondered that #why is it shortened to just N anyway like is it a nickname? does he actually not like being called Natural? #its probably a math pun to make it just N but still. in universe why does he go by that #only tangentially related but tbh i like the name natural so much i almost stole it for myself #its such a nice name i'll never understand everyone saying n's full name is weird #maybe its bc i also have an unconventional name - Soapy - but i always feel icked when people rag on n's name #i'm getting offtopic but anyway. uh. n my beloved

ohhh my god the cheesecake recipe book is american so its AAALLLL cups and tsp (which i can deal with cause ive followed american recipes before) but they tried to make it idk. non-american inclusive by having a metric side but the metric is all mL. like it's ALL cups (solids/liquids) -> mL (liquids) with the except of lb/oz -> g (solids) and that is insane. like sorry americans but unfortunately my sugar and butter and biscuits are not measured in liquids. when i buy flour/other solids the quantity listed at the side (which lets me know if I've bought enough for the recipe) is in grams. beause its not liquid. and WHY is oz (a liquid measurement) translated to g (a solids measurement). I Think Stick To The American System

#like ??? #ik they probably didn't do it manually and just had a thing calculate all cups into mLs for ease's sake #because cups is volume and grams is mass and not everything has the same volume/mass ratio #so 50mL flour and 50mL cheese have different weights even tho they both occupy the same volume (50mL/less than a 1/4cup) #so I GET THAT ITS FOR EASE #however the non american or at least the european way of baking involves USING A SCALE !!! #AS IN GRAMS!! WHICH ARE INFINITELY MORE PRECISE THAN CUPS!!! #like putting everything in mL is Not helpful ?? like I don't see the point in trying to de americanise the measurements #when at the core of it you're still giving the measurement in volume and not mass #also tangentially related do americans not have scales. why is every ingredient in volume? #not anti american BTW bake how u want + it's easy enough to follow since I do have cups and tsps/tbsps. i just think this books system is #silly #there r 300+ recipes so it would be a pain to manually adjust each ingredient but like.. #anyway. ignoring the mL side bc im not busting out my cup for measuring L/mL #argentashes
