zeno's ultimate pokemiku tierlist ⁉️(it's all his opinion and he loves them all regardless⁉️)

#like arrfgggdiakaktmcksmsama this was literally all for me like they knew what they were doing #i love character design i love pokemon i love miku. and then you put ALL THREE TOGETHER.... #i will explain some of my choices here #poison miku is just too good but also i am a big sucker for freaky scientists with constant “worry” eyebrows #her design is just so out there and crazy (this is about the shoes. some understand the greatness of the shoes and some dont. and thats ok.) #every other miku in peak i think establishes their theme exeptionally well especially ghost bug and fighting #for ghost i already love spooky and gloomy looking characters and that miku delivers tenfold (of course shes designed by the GOAT take) #esp with the mix of ghostly and electronic/digital regarding the glitchy parts n the 01 hologram #she looks like shell invade my computer and give it a virus if i dont send the chainmail about her tragic file corruption to 10 friends #(in the best way possible) #for bug miku the big dress is a huge plus but also i just think shes adorable nuff said #for fighting - i love a delinquent character and she fits that really well. the half coat thing is a big highlight for me #also the leek theme is absolutely iconic #for the ones i didnt like as much - i honestly just think the koraidon one is a leeeeetle bit boring #dont get me wrong. it has really cool aspects like the hair and the koraidon like cape but idk #it feels like theres a lot going on but not that much at the same time? its still a really nice design tho esp the hair color #for the ones in yellow tier - i just dont like the color palletes very much . theyre still really nice designs esp fire miku #but all in all these are genuinely all amazing designs and i dont want to be too critical or mean to any of them esp seeing im not a pro #but this was really fun to see unfold!!! cant wait until the songs start dropping #in the topic of miku as well - hey muse dash where's my miku on the switch version.... #please dont make us wait too long 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

man, I love A Link Between Worlds... sometimes I remember it, its hyper-competent yet humble design and storytelling proposal, and I genuinely think that makes it among my favorite Zelda games ;;

#thoughts #albw #the dungeons are *so good* the level design is peak classic zelda formula imo #the very idea of its non-linearity #while maybe not executed to its fullest? #is sooo compelling to me #I think they were experimenting with design elements here that eventually led to botw's formula #(and I do prefer albw as far as non-linearity goes btw) #(I'm a “semi-open world/world in hub” truther u_u I believe it makes for more authorial and controlled set design which I prefer) #the near-folksy take on the more gothic alttp is really good #(yeah btw: I think alttp might be the most traditionally gothic zelda game to me? moreso than mm's or tp) #(alttp feels like a rotting world with one guiding faith dwindling against constant corruption/the dusk of better times) #(the world is so hostile and full of ruins and cold and dark and even the npcs are often against you! its ambiance is quite something) #(the rainy introduction and your uncle who fucking *dies* immediately... sorry I'm talking about alttp in my albw post now ;;) #and the LORE it introduces in regards to the triforce is so compelling and existentially shocking? #even if it hides itself very well #the characters also! not super developed but really charming #it's such a charming game #might be among my favorite 2D Zeldas if not my favorite honestly

now that dsmp season 1 has ended, are you gonna keep watching season 2?

ah i'm pretty sure the other members have more plot/lore/episodes planned before the end of volume 1, it's only wilbur's character's finale that's done. so there's still a bit of content planned for volume 1.

and to be honest, i probably won't keep up with volume 2. at least not in the way that i did for volume 1. regardless of criticisms people have about wilbur's finale, i think the fact that it Exists and was Released gave me the final bit of closure i needed to put the dsmp's content officially behind me. my life looks completely different now than it did two years ago, so i simply don't have the time or intense interest anymore. and i genuinely find it more fun to engage with the fan community we've built and the people i've met along the way than to spend hours and hours watching streams. im just here vibing in the garden i helped grow.

hope that's not too disappointing. tho i'm pretty sure no one here is following me for my dsmp content anyways loll

#i call it volumes not seasons bc in my mind seasons have already been defined #idk i was going through the list of ppl i follow and it says how long it's been since they've been online and seeing people who were around #during my peak activity in 2020-2021 be inactive for 2-3-4-6-12 months was just like ah yes. friends of a time past. #i really just like vibing in mcytblr honestly. i watch hc still when i get the time but the amount of dedication needed to keep up with #the dsmp is just too much i think? and there are like 2x/3x the viewership for dsmp now so im sure vol2 will flourish #im just here to reblog cool art make silly little jokes and cultivate good vibes every now and again #that's how this blog started and that's how it'll always be #sorry for the long winded post for what essentially boils down to 'no.' hahaha #anon #ty for the askkk :)

Girl help, I talked myself out of writing a fic because I was worried about being Harassed™

#ugh maybe I WILL just post it anonymously. and not link it here at all. and only send it to my friends. #honestly it's like. not even That Bad. but I know how people get and I will ABSOLUTELY get accused of 'romanticizing [bad thing]' #which like. I don't think people have the best grasp on what that term really means but. also that's...not the purpose of what I'm doing #anyway. like I don't want to go into specific detail but 100% the point of this is to work through an o/c/d thing but I KNOW people #are not going to see it that way. and it's just...like I understand there is nuance here. because talking about the WAY people #write and represent various issues (in fandom and out of it) is helpful I think. and there are a lot of insidious holdovers from various #types of prejudices occurring in those overall trends. but also like...no one except me knows what's going on in my head and what #my intention is. and I can try to make that clear but that's not always going to translate and also if something is meant to Work Through A #Thing then......I don't want to tell people what exactly it is that I'm working through. that is very private information that I don't want #ANYONE to know. and I don't think I should have to put that on display to be ''''allowed'''' to write this thing I'm writing. #it's also once again very funny to me how many people are like 'oh h*nnibal/h*nnigram peak tv true art™' and then like. get mad at someone #for writing something that's equally fucked up but in a different way #like why does this keep happening. #(I have an idea but I already made that post 2 years ago and I got one of my few instances of actual genuine anon hate over it) #ANYWAY

https://www.tumblr.com/famewolf/717956178790039552 the argument “you’re trans friends / jewish friends etc etc wont trust you” is so silly like i’ve never even met a trans or jewish person why does everyone assume we have them as friends :/

I'm baffled. The answer is simply, 'not everything ever said is about you'. No one assumed anything, but you sure did assume that this post was about you, despite you saying to yourself 'hey, I don't relate to this, why is this about me? Why are people talking about me?' This comment was towards "allies" who still put their friends and loved ones at risk because they lack basic fortitude. If you aren't friends with folks different from you, if you lack the ability to accept or understand people different from you, then I hope that one day you gain Empathy as an ability. Life without it is barely life at all.

#[static] #I honestly don't reply to anons but this ask was genuinely sad #you really gotta not have a very fulfilling life to have this take #to have community and to accept folks from different walks of life is literally peak humanity #without it you arent doing yourself any favors #you're not growing or learning or engaging in your ability to connect and care #and like ... that's on you #if you want to lead an existence that is empty of difference and color go right on ahead #but dont think anyone is ever talking about you ... you can't be apart of the convo if you don't even exist #you aren't cool or edgy for not having queer friends or friends from different cultures or beliefs lmao #sounds like Someone is boring #also youre literally on tumblr you Could have so many cool friends if you wanted to lmao #anyways this was an insane take that reeks of someone being so privileged they think everything is about them LOL can you imagine? #living in a world where everything is about you all the time so the moment its not you become confused or befuddled even #crashing about and asking why are people assuming things about you? you dont even HAVE friends #my good bro ... that was about people who DO have friends and who aren't showing up for them #get out of here and go learn some basic human empathy

heres my thoughts on persona 2 so far i genuonely cannot believe they chose to remake 3 over this one i mean i can because they changed all the lore in 3 but that game is NOTHING compared to this one. the TEDIUM. but hey when the maya's there, maya's there

#i used cheats to turn the encounter rate down& give myself the max stats otherwise i will kill myself genuinely #like im really eating this story which is going crazy and is it good..? like in a vaccuum maybe? still unsure? #but i like how crazy everything is #this is teaching me to never play an smt game. i hate jrpgs i hate jrpgs #also i made it to where jun joins i honestly cant see it getting any better from here so that is where we're at i feel we've peaked #but idk ANYTHING about this game

[psalmsofpsychosis]

I'm actually a super duper predictable and consistent person if you look at me from the right angle: basically my whole drive in life is to explore and discover things and people that noone else dares to explore, i live to bring in whatever is excluded and overlooked and kept off the table. Like, my whole entire head is so oriented towards inclusion that i'm always focused on what is [intentionally or unintentionally] left outside the door of a situation and i'll bring it in. I really have no interest in what is already integrated into a context and accounted for, well worn roads and well practised performances bore me to death. So like, the most consistent thing about me is however a scenario is and whatever way the people are behaving, i'm on the opposite side of it, often introducing supposed "conflict" by being a devil's advocate and a contrarian. What is already known and accepted cannot be really explored, it's already overdone, so i'm going down the road everyone drives past and avoids. Attending a funeral? you're gonna find me joking and laughing, not because i necessarily feel happy, but because it's a question noone asks and i love to explore, "are we accounting for the joys of humanity too?" and if there's a flood of performative positivity i'm gonna bring in gloom, it's almost an involuntary reflex. I need all contexts to be complex and inclusive, so i naturally work in the opposite team. It doesn't really mean that i'm with the team, it just means that i need the context to be diverse. I have zero appreciation for any kind homogenised, streamlined and scripted kind of existence.

Where this puts me in regards to parties is, ho boy i'm fun at parties, almost always guaranteed to be dragged into a fight that i did not intend to be in. But also it feels very, very lonely. 98.99% of people have no appreciation for discovery and exploring the mysteries of the world, and even if they eventually end up loving what you brought to the table, they dont love you for introducing something new and unfamiliar into their life, they find it threatening and uncomfortable.

#and honestly #i very very much miss being around people who appreciate me for what i find and bring back to the world of the living #but this post is particularly brought to you by me catching myself at a 3am #mauling over why i'm vehemently hunting for positivity and advocating for hope right now #even though i'm not particularly a positive person #in fact i'm not a negative person neither #i'm an extremely ''brings balance to a context by introducing the opposite of it'' kinda person #and right now we're in peak nihilism and cynicism culture #a pervasive undercurrent of meaninglessness and superficiality and shallow performative gore to everything #and i'm all about the empty spaces; what is absent from the context #so of course i'm looking for meaning and depth and intricate complex nuanced experiences #and the soft tenderness of life #and people around me are like ''oh so those are your values :) '' and they're not #i dont work with values i work with negative spaces and What Is Not Included #and i can switch teams very easily #by the simple fact that i'm a contrarian. Like the moment i feel clocked i start to get itchy #because i dont care for this or that; whatever is predominantly enforced i'm on the opposite side of it #i'm really just here for diversity and complexity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9 and 45 @shadowofthehost (The fact this is a blind choice makes me incredibly curious lol)

9. Heartbreak Feels So Good - Fall Out Boy

No matter what they tell you The future's up for grabs and no No matter what they sell you Is there a word for bad miracle? Nobody said the road was endless Nobody said the climb was friendless But could we please pretend this won't end?

There are moments when the differences between Vox and Vincent must become apparent. Vox sets rules for himself that Vincent pays no mind to, he discard parts of himself and the past in the name of progress. Here he is, making the future, determining everything that will happen from atop a neon tower.

No one ever sees beyond the veneer he creates... and then Astor comes along, and it it all becomes much harder to pretend that everything is perfectly fine. Astor feels like something new and interesting, a breath of fresh air compared to Valentino, who had, at one point, seemed saint and saviour; something new, something fascinating, someone he could love. Astor reaches out and gets shocked, and seems excited about it.

It is this turning point that creates so many problems, because Vox has protected himself through these walls, adjusted himself to the heartbreak and the repetitive notions of a lover he fools himself into thinking are acceptable. How long can he pretend that this state of affairs can last?

Heartbreak feels good, until it doesn't. Until he's looking at a living shadow who's somehow the brightest thing in his life.

45. La Seine - A Monster In Paris (Okay technically the one on my playlist is the original French version but shhhh, it's easier to use the English here. It's pretty much an identical song).

I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why That's how we are, La Seine and I I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why That's how we are, La Seine and I I feel alive when I'm beside La Seine, La Seine, La Seine From this angle like an angel La Seine, La Seine, La Seine

There is a lot that attracts Vincent to Astor initially and simultaneously, a lot that terrifies him. He's in Hell, he's looking at a him with a TV for a head, and a man who sweeps in and charms him with all the power of Times Square. But it is, fear aside, exhilarating. If you were to ask him before, he would have said he was not a man that falls in love easily, but here he is.

Staying with Astor doesn't mean dying, but it does mean Hell, and yet... he makes it worth it. He chooses to stay with him, because he feels more alive in Pentagram City than in the endless drudgery of a rat-race. There is a sense of Paradise in that.

He doesn't think that the fortune teller knew what she was doing when she sent him here, and in fairness, if it hadn't been for Astor being very unexpected, he would not have stayed. He would have fallen to a future wherein he was miserable but successful, and done nothing that did not lead him to the exact same fate. So perhaps it was coincidence, perhaps some destiny. He doesn't know, and probably never will, but he knows that he's gone on Astor in the same way that New York settled into place like a second skin.

#*cathode rays and rock and roll (vincent price) #shadowofthehost #two VERY different vibes! #In all honesty I did NOT realize I listened to La Seine this many times #it only entered into rotation in September #because of a fic I was writing #aaand here it is! #FOB is less surprising #they've been my top band for... at least two years in a row #*personnel file (hc) #honestly heartbreak feels so good has a few really good lyrics #and you know what if I'd thought about it then I could have done something with the Hudson River in NY #and Seine comparisons but too late now! #in either case Astor getting NY comparisons is peak compliments from Vincent

i have to say. now that i’m actually rewatching 11’s run from the start. i don’t remember him being this dark at the beginning?? it’s interesting!

#ivy.txt #doctor who #i like it! #i think it make sense as a progression from 10 tbh #he bottled up soooo much until the anger just kind of came exploding out in his last episodes #especially because he wasn’t really. finished being himself? #but then 11 is like….at the start he can be really short with people and blow up kind of easily! like he sort of has not time for bullshit #which i really did not remember! but makes sense #i’m honestly so much more excited about this era than i thought i would be?? #which is nice cause like. this was MY era as a kid it was the one airing at peak of my obsession <3 #edit: WOW there are a lot of typos in here my bad <3
