#YOU CAN?!?!? FUCKING RAD

[lilnasxvevo]

I am constantly thinking about the issue of Squirrel Girl where Doreen Green’s friend Nancy gets kidnapped and the only witness was a cat, and Doreen is Squirrel Girl and she can talk to squirrels so she figures that there’s gotta be a cat-themed hero who can talk to cats, and she’s running around the city with the cat in a cat carrier getting increasingly frustrated because it turns out ALL the cat-themed heroes are only cat-themed as a gimmick and none of them actually have any cat-related powers let alone the ability to communicate with cats

#finally she figures that Dr. Strange seems like someone who might have a spell for talking to cats lying around somewhere #so she goes to the Sorceror Supreme’s house #and Loki answers the door because APPARENTLY Loki is the current Sorceror Supreme #okay. whatever. it’s fine. hey Loki can you help me ask this cat a few questions #YOU CAN?!?!? FUCKING RAD #and then it turns out Nancy was kidnapped by aliens so DOREEN AND LOKI GO TO SPACE TOGETHER AND IT’S SO AWESOME

this genuinely breaks my heart

I’m so tired with people continuing to tag me in posts with tags in the posts implying I’m attempting to gatekeep dpxdc.

I’m just asking folks to read some wikis or maybe watch a DC tv show to get more ideas because the content in DC is so expansive. I’ve been trying to push this since July of 2022.

I’m writing it like this so people just understand. I just want to show folks the cool thing I enjoy and That theres so much more content to play with when you either do (or don’t idk at this point bro) choose to look more into the greater fandoms of the Crossover.

You can write whatever you want, I would just think it would be cool to see the looking into cool DC stuff by the community.

I’m not gatekeeping or trying to prevent people from writing fanfic. I read all forms of dpxdc fics at every level of fanon to canon to AUs to Ghost AUs.

I’m just trying to push a cool thing I like to show other people the cool thing I like?

#the amount of vague posting towards me has been fucking bananas lately and folks have tagged me in posts that are just not the point I’m- #trying to make. id just like to see cool funky Dc stuff and it’d be rad to see more Dc centered stuff like Animal Man or Hitman #dpxdc #bones rants #i have received only 8 death threats this time around in my DMs this time so I call that a win #people can have differing opinions and stuff like fuckin you do you bro #I’m simply expressing my opinion. i won’t reply More to this post to prevent it going into an argument chain but yeah. #sometimes it’s just agree to dissagree but we both like creating fanfic

People who use neo pronouns and neo genders are actually really awesome.

Like, not only do you understand yourself well enough to self identify your gender outside of what was assigned at birth, but you're creative and have enough self understanding to literally make up a new term that didn't exist before? That's some fantastic Shakespeare level shit.

Y'all are literally visionaries and people don't give you enough credit. It's so fucking amazing whenever people are literally able to find a term that they relate to despite the fact that that term is rare and has barely been talked about before.

Y'all are literally trailblazers and you are a vital part of the LGBTQIA+ community. MOGAI and neo identities are what are able to keep our community evolving to be more inclusive and just better for everyone in it.

Edit: I have a DNI list. Please respect it.

#trans #transgender #lgbtqia #neogender #neopronouns #mogai #gender #non binary #self identity #English is five languages in a trenchcoat trying to sneak into an r rated movie anyway #you're allowed to add new words and descriptions to the English language #people do it all the time that's why they added smize a few years back despite nobody using it anymore #you can literally name your gender whatever you want it's really fucking rad actually

I'm already know for being very opinionated and having some Hot Takes, but I still usually keep it in line and fairly reasonable. Typical "Unpopular (but still somewhat safe to voice) Opinion" territory, where I might get some blocks and some scowls, but like, nothing major.

However I'm... gonna be posting an uncharacteristically rancid take this time.

I cannot fucking STAND vibes based design. Its become a trend lately to explain game systems by vibes, and it feels EXACTLY like the tropification of romance novels. A thing so many other people have complained about far more than I have, where so many works of fiction are now just being advertise as "Its a queer little slow burn, found family story that features enemies to lovers" OKAY, BUT WHATS THE FUCKING BOOK ABOUT?

And I feel like over the past 15-20 years, the TTRPG industry has been having the exact same issue. I can go through dozens of listings on itch.io for indie games and not see a single fucking game mechanic mentioned, and its frustrating. "This game is about gathering your friends to turn your local farm into a sustainable commune!" WHAT KIND OF FUCKING DICE DOES THE GAME USE? DOES THE GAME EVEN HAVE A GM?

And like, this isn't just about the feel good warm and fuzzy games. OSR is JUST as fucking guilty in this. "This game is a black metal death crawl through your worst nightmares." IS IT A RETROCLONE? IS IT A RULES LITE D6 SYSTEM? HOW THE FUCK DO I RESOLVE AN ACTION? DO ENEMIES USE STATBLOCKS?

If a video game showed absolutely no gameplay in any of its advertisements, only showing concept trailers and cutscenes and talking about its plot, you would probably shy away and think the game isn't worth playing if it can't even stand on the merits of its own gameplay. So why the fuck are we accepting that as the norm in TTRPGs?

#special shout out to Avery Alder #Avery I fucking love your games #The Quiet Year is one of my favorite games ever #its pretty much my go-to for any campaign of any kind to give players control over the worldbuilding pre-session 0 #BOB is so well designed and such a rad way to handle diceless/GM-less design #and I ABSOLUTE understand the need for queer designers like us to carve out a space and stand our ground #in a hobby that has historically housed people who want people like us dead in a ditch #but the idea that BOB can only support inherently queer/marginalized stories is ABSURD #and the way every BOB game advertises itself/is listed on your site makes me want to tear my skin off #please #you designed a game #AN INCREDIBLE ONE at that! #please please let it stand on the merits of its own design instead of just the vibe its built for #I was about to post this on my game design blog... #but I really dont have the heart to do that. This isn't actually about game design and the industry its just... personal frustration #and the fact that the thing that makes me autistic about games to the point to where I have spent like 25 years studying them #is just... no longer even the main focus it feels like

Hey radinclus is NOT the same thing as radqueer please don't act like it is thanks

#yeah random rant yeah #'radqueer/radinclus' dear those are different things #one is inclusive of queer people (radinclus) and the other supports shit like transautism #the notion that you can transition into being autistic. and I'll say it #that is fucking weird as fuck #the radqueer community has also stolen terms like transabled from people with BIID #a mental disorder that causes dysphoria surrounding having eye sight or a limb etc #(we support those with BIID in this house) #they've also stolen transage from the chronosian community I think #radqueers harm already fucked over communities and to say being accepting of mspec lesbians is the same thing is #...awful. absolutely disgusting #radinclu #rad inclus #radinclus #lgbtq #lgbt #queer

[slightlytoastedbagel]

actually On Your Feet gave us two good things (well. three if you like Realize which I do). Kohane's "it's frustrating" line and the great crack fic idea of Vivid Bad Squad getting cancelled online for skipping school to yell at The Kotaki Taiga as he was about to go back to America.

#no because. he went there to continue radder's dream yeah? the one about becoming world successful musicians #and they had a record label for a bit. they were definitely going to make it at least somewhat. #so we can assume taiga is at the very least a semi well known musician yeah? #one that someone about to either leave or enter japan might know about. who will see this musician they enjoy #being shouted at by a high school girl in her school uniform about how they will surpass him or something along those lines #with three other kids (in uniform from a different school) standing behind her #and then going onto sekai universe twitter to post about it and the taiga kotaki fans taking it by storm #taiga gets off the plane in america and finds he's trending and it's because people are making fun of a blurry picture of his ex pupil #meanwhile vivid bad squad just don't know because it was contained entirely on twitter and. #be honest can you see any of them having twitter because i can't. an maybe but akito doesn't have time for social media and toya is toya #and kohane is a tumblr girlie if i've ever seen one #however it does give the great concept of someone else seeing it and debating if they should say anything #because mmj definitely has an official account they could have seen it on and also there's ena shinonome and mizuki akiyama #but anyway this also means when they do put on the event to surpass rad weekend (or whatever their goal ends up being) #there will be a crowd of people looking at it and going “isn't that the group of kids that twitter made fun of ages ago?” #and then taiga kotaki stans on sekai universe twitter will be stunned because they did in fact surpass him #if it wasn't for the gcses i would write this but alas. enjoy my weird thoughts #bagel's rambles #project sekai #i am scared to main tag this one but. fuck it we ball

I can't believe there's people watching qsmp who hear the Spanish speakers and just go "well i don't know Spanish and there's nothing i can do about that. Guess I'll never know what they say". When Tahlulla said "then learn" cause quackity said he didn't speak Spanish, that was at y'all. If you can watch a 6 hour stream you can download doulingo and do a 5 minute Spanish lesson.

#not to be agressive but #genuinely those who dont try to learn are actually missing out on So Much Content #qsmp #learning Spanish #even just bits where the translation fucks up. like during charlies violence arc yhe translation randomly said. Bucket #and its cause he was saying fuck it fuck it fuck it so it translated that into cangilón #i barely know spanish and even then i can manage to parse out what at least some of them are saying you dont need much #hell even just tune into a foolish stream cause hes actually been doing spanish lessons with leo and hes picking it up really well #and he says all of his thoughts on how or why parts of the language are how they are which kinda helps to understand it #like hes wrong sometimes very much so but its really really cool to judt sit and listen to a guy figure out how to speak another language #i played it while cooking the other day and when he would ask a question i also had id ask my roommate whos fluent #and just asking questions helps to learn. #sorry for the ramble im just fed up with the mentality that some foøks have with the spanish speakers #yes the translator is fucking rad but it doesnt catch everything and its kinda nicer to catch it as its spoken you know #leadning a new language is only hard at first. its very easy to become obsessed with understanding it

can you draw a small silly kitty

here’s a painting of one of my small silly kitties :3

#ask #cat #that’s mister darcy and i brought him home from school one day when a professor with a huge brain decided that they could get kittens #rehomed real fast if they just. brought them to school. and u know what they rehomed all of them by noon #he is crazy btw like wild he does backflips off the walls like up at eye level and if ur around he will do a backflip off u #sometimes the other cats too and they’re always like hey! hey! i’ve been assaulted! and we’ve gotta be like. sorry he’s just like that man #he’s also loud as fuck he like trills and chirps all day u can hold a conversation with him if you just hum along it’s rad

[characteroulette]

Okay okay okay okay

I have to write it down because I keep composing it while I work

(Everhood spoilers below the cut)

So I've seen a few people misinterpret the point behind killing everyone that Everhood forces onto you in order to reach the end, and I think it might be due to getting too caught up in the parallels to Undertale that are there

They think that it's taking the murder run and being like "see? This is bad!!" which they respond like "no duh but uh Undertale did that better"

But!!

That's not the point.

The point isn't the same Undertale makes, but it's a companion:

Sometimes, Mercy isn't the answer.

Sometimes, Mercy is a cruelty.

These beings have been trapped in the Everhood for over six. Million. Years. Some far longer, maybe a few shorter. They're all intimately aware that the only way out is the Incinerator, but they cling to their lives as desperately as anything living would. They aren't even close to human anymore, even if they never started out as human to begin with. They are undying and have existed for longer than the mind can comprehend. They've become bored, cruel, despairing, and complacent.

They have stagnated.

They exist and that's all they can do.

What you offer them is Mercy, even if it takes such an ugly form. They fight back and struggle, as all living things are wont to do, but what you offer them is ultimately Mercy.

It's ugly and harrowing for you, (for Pink), because no matter how merciful, it is still murder. Even if you're helping their souls return to the cycle of life, even if you're releasing them from their stagnation and despair and cruelty, you're still taking their lives against their wills.

No one wants to die, no matter how cursed the existence.

There will be reconciliation, no matter how ugly.

Hard choices will be justified in the end.

The only possible Mercy you're able to offer is the cruelest upon your own soul. (Pink's soul).

anyway yeah Everhood is really good go play it

#Everhood #Spoilers #Momo writes stuff #Momo talks about video games #I really love this game #Also!! It's okay if you didn't get this same message #Interpretations can differ!! #This is just what I saw #A small miscommunication happening due to an early misconception #It is tragedy #But it is necessary #Also it's rad as hell #I fucking love this game #This world needed a Red just as Undertale's needed a Frisk

Something I drew during the drawfee stream earlier today that I'm actually really proud of. I have basically no clue what I'm doing and I am sure there are a trillion mistakes, but I really wanted to start learning how to make art at the start of the year, and I've been in a rut with it over the last month. But I felt inspired tonight to make something and I really like how it came out!

Inspired by the character Hikari from Octopath Traveler II and made in clip studio

#my art #y'all I am so happy with how this turned out #this is the first thing I've made where I've actively felt like I want to show it to other people because I think it's rad #tips and critiques welcome but please keep in mind I have no formal art training and have been basically teaching myself for 4 months or so #also #I do NOT give permission to train an AI with this #not that you really should but still that can fuck right off #drawfee #hikari #octopath traveler ii #octopath traveler fanart #octopath traveler 2 #art

[hard--headed--woman]

i saw a tv show some days ago where a young woman in the 60s/70s (don't remember exactly but it was either 60s or 70s, nothing else) was violently harrassed and bullied for being gender non conforming, for "looking like a man" (short hair, masculine clothes, no makeup, etc) and for liking "men things" (she loved cars, and was very good at mechanics, a subject she wanted to study), and her bullies were using the word "queer" against her, writing it on her chair, yelling it at her, etc (we learn later that she wasn't a lesbian, actually, but they thought she had to be one since she was masculine), at the end of the episode the girl is sent to conversion therapy, where they try to force her to become feminine, to act "like a woman", to wear make-up, etc., until they end up lobotomizing her (after several sessions of "electrical tests" supposed to "cure" her) because she resisted and was impossible to "cure". she dies short after that, and the very end of the episode takes place years and years later, decades later, and we see a girl with blue hair sitting on a chair with a big smile, proudly wearing a t-shirt saying "queer planet" with a lgbt flag.

if that doesn't represent very well the current lgbtqia+ community, i don't know what will, lol. this girl faced horrible violence and discrimination for being gender non conforming and because everyone thought she was a lesbian, they used the word queer, a slur, against her, and years later a teenager who doesn't know half of the things people went through decades ago for fighting and just being who they were comes with her blue hair proudly using this slur as if it was just a word.

people suffered decades ago for being same sex attracted and gender non conforming, they went through hell, the word queer was used against them as a slur, and now people who didn't go through any of that (which is a good thing of course) and don't know their history try to reclaim this term, to use it casually, to pretend it isn't a slur and should be used to describe the entire community. that's disgusting.

#i literally just saw someone say 'queer isn't a slur' and i am honestly shocked because how can you LIE like that? #i don't even care about what you think of the word queer #but it is a slur and it will always be #its meaning is insulting #and it has always been used as a slur #please stop fucking lying to everyone including yourselves #queer #q slur tw #queer is a slur #lgb #lgbt #lgbtqia #lgb history #lgbt history #lgbtq community #rad fem #radblr #radfem safe #radical feminism #radical feminist community #radical feminist safe #radical feminists do touch #radfem #radical feminists please touch #féminisme #féministe

Mercy 🔮

[ future scene ask ] @fuzzydreamin

I keep playing around with this post-game idea for Mercy where she stays in the Commonwealth, rather than wandering off like she normally does after a few months, & having her set up some sort of clinic for specialized services. She'd obviously offer standard medical care(albeit more ghoul-centric than other Commonwealth medical providers), medical supplies, chems, and she'd get into medical implants and probably some induced mutations as well.

I also think it'd be fun to let her play around with syringers at some point, and letting her make new experimental darts and maybe even offering those for sale when she decides they're consistent enough. She'd drag Reed, and potentially a few others, into doing field trials for those since her vision and long distance aim aren't the greatest.

I'm including a few screenshots here since I've been exploring potential locations where she could set up shop like this, and of course she's going to have all kinds of herbs and whatnot growing in the surrounding area/greenhouse/etc so she has a reliable source of supplies. These are from the Coastal Cottage build where I made this sick ass fungi cave under the house

#me? answering asks 800000 years after getting them? unheard of #god. this is so much not a scene it's SO incredibly vague and ???? #can you tell this is a VERY rough idea that i'm still working out? lmao #i just really want to let her play around with syringers and also meet her goal of using FEV in a legitimately beneficial manner #she goes out with Reed to do field trials and gives him some unlabeled darts all >:3 and he's like. well fuck. #mercy tag #fo4 screenshots #my screenshots #for context she wants to shift the whole FEV thing back towards medical cures and not super mutants/centaurs/etc #the induced mutations i had in mind are like. rad resistance. improved night vision. enhanced stats. etc etc #you get what i mean. like small changes to add perk abilities. nothing wild or extreme #i'm like 95% sure she just fuckin adopts Curie post-game. Curie's still a robot since Reed doesn't do the synth thing #fun fact about this cave build: everything there is harvestable. there's a mr handy clipping through a rock in one screenshot #because i didn't even see him down there until after i took screenshots. he's stuck down there idk how to get him out lmao
