#and they're not even fun scary

[lyxchen]

I really do love the 11th doctor but why are so many of his episodes just horror and darkness? Like I know that Doctor Who also often has an element of horror but I don't remember it being that much. Where are the fun silly filler episodes? Why are all the filler episodes so scary now?

#and they're not even fun scary #or interesting to think about scary #they're really just scaring me #and that makes it hard to keep watching #like i want to keep watching but every episode is so dark now #abd the constantly do these mind twists and tricks that are very emotionally hard to watch #like that episode with the two amys? #i can't keep doing the 'which one is the right one? which one should i pick?' #but #i do Adore river song!!!!!! #i wish there was more of her tho :(( #lea's random thoughts #doctor who

my favorite setup for a sizeswap is having it be like a freaky friday type situation where the giant and the tiny are jealous of the other's size. picture a human and borrower who've known eachother for a while, the borrower is obviously jealous of the human who gets to go outside and talk to other humans and basically do everything from the borrower's perspective. but maybe the human has a really shitty job or a hectic schedule and is jealous of the borrower for not having to deal with pesky human responsibilities, or maybe they're a celebrity who's tired of the attention and wishes they could just be invisible and unknown to the world like the borrower. then all of a sudden they wake up (bonus points if it's after they have a talk or an argument about how good they think the other one has it) and bam! get sizeswapped idiots. so now they get to see eachother's struggles and realise that no it's not all sunshine and rainbows on the other side actually.

#plus they're not accustomed to being the other's size so they'd face difficulties the other one didn't even have #the human turned borrower being fucking terrified because holy shit everything's huge and scary #the borrower not really knowing how to blend into human society and talk to people #i love sizeswaps they're so fun #g/t #giant/tiny #g/t community #g/t idea #borrowers #sizeswap

What would the Dairy Islands be without their Dairy Sea?

So I am beyond excited to share with you the animal helping to keep it clean and pure:

You know em, you love em: the Milky Manta Ray!

Honestly, I am beyond happy with them! There was no question, i had to draw the animal a major character was referencing.

It was a big struggle until my twin suggested using the drink Grant made in Dirty Laundry once, the Queen's Punch, for inspiration and that opened my third eye!

They swim in their favoured territory, where another body of "water" meets the Dairy Sea and filter the milk, feeding on those nutrients in the process. This gives each Manta Ray a distinct colouration. Once the liquid has passed through their bodies enough to have returned to pure milk it is then released through the ends of their wings, fins and tail.

Got enough milk?

#dimension 20 #a crown of candy #the ravening war #calorum fauna #dairy islands animal #milky manta ray #d20 #acoc #dimension 20 trw #alt text #image description #i love these so much #i learned so many cool fun facts about manta rays too #they're terrifying creatures in theory even tho they're gentle giants #to me at least bc the ocean is scary #sorry this is so long i just cant stop talking about this concept!

physical pain when i realize a neurotypical has subconsciously clocked me as neurodivergent and they immediately start treating me just slightly different. there's this slight head tilt and then a small unintentionally condescending smile and then they're not looking down at me because i'm short as fuck they're looking down on me and they're talking slightly differently, slightly slower, and .. i can't explain it i just know. and it's like oh fuck i've blown my cover. they will never look at me like normal ever again

#text #it happened today i'm still thinking about it. like man. i'm twenty years old #and i know it's usually subconscious and they don't even know they're doing it but that's almost WORSE #and when it's NOT. well that's just scary bc they will probably make fun of me later

Reading The Whispering Skull and I don't think I'll ever be over L&C getting canceled. It hits so much harder now reading the books. If nothing else, at least the one season it got led me to read these, I never would have found them otherwise

#if you're thinking about reading these do it #they're genuinely so fun and actually scary at times #if being middle grade books puts you off it shouldn't #they're better written than half of the adult fiction out there #I'm 28 and mainly read adult sci-fi/fiction and this series absolutely does not feel like a step down in quality or even subject matter tbh #lockwood and co #lockwood & co #booklr

#RIP to the legacy post editor. you will be missed. while queueing this post and the last one it's removed the option for me to switch to the #old one and is making me use the new one. which is like not bad. it's not a bad editor. i just don't like change as most tumblr users don't #it also just appends the post you make directly to the top of the currently-displayed posts behind it even if it's not meant to go there #which is a little bit scary when i'm on the queue page and i click “add to queue” for a post that's supposed to go up on august 18th #to see it immediately appear above mega metagross. the legacy post editor didn't do that. it made you refresh the page if you wanted to see #your own new post on the dashboard. which i think was better!! honestly!! i've never Made a post using the new editor to see how it behaves #only ever queued up FFP using this thang. but that's also bc i feel like i don't post very much. i need smth Interesting to say when i post #on my main blog i mean. i don't make extraneous posts on here (usually) unless i'm answering an ask or something. which. still have yet to #miss one to this day. going strong #bibarel #can you tell idk what to say about this guy. what are they‚ water-type? big chance i'm fucking wrong and they're just pure normal #OKAY i was right. normal/water. semi-interesting typing and i get why they're a water-type. but. i never use. bibarel. even as a kid who #didn't understand or care about competitive. i knew bibarel was not very strong. it's a route 1 normal-type fucker. and maybe it's like #better than i think or something but tbqh it's a sinnoh 'mon and i already have another sinnoh water-type that has my heart. buizel #so bibarel was not so much in the cards for me. bro i should do like. a mono-type run of a pokémon game one day. that would be fu #do folks do that? is that a challenge run that actually exists? nuzlockes exist so i don't see why not. okay i'm doing it. my next replay o #any pokémon game is hereby decreed to be a water-type mono-type run. i may or may not liveblog it on my main blog #and it may or may not be nuzlocke. we shall see #hell maybe i'll stream it. maybe that could be fun. i don't know of *anyone* who would be interested in that but it tends to help me #actually go about completing games when i have someone there like. waiting for me to do so

the limit was seven pegs last night

#also moral of the story was to drink slowly not the 4 pegs i drank in 5 minutes because the aftermaths were disastrous #i kinda love what alcohol did to my nervous system #i think ill have better tolerance if i let it take over me instead of gulping it #had to induce emesis and vomit in volumes 3 times because i ate too much of gravy momos and manipuri cuisine #also this drink did not gave an hangover or headache today morning thats because it was super costly #its kinda magical the whole alcohol world and the science behind it #like there was this supermarket wholly for types of whiskey rum gin vodka brandy even costing upto 80k #and people just enter and purchase like wow #plus they're blended and fermented over years and years one was like 35 years #i passed out actually but it was so fun #the only scary part was thinking what if i die lmao #and to think this is a regular experience in boys hostel is like wow okay um youre ruining yourself #i could do this again me and a friend got a vodka we'll have it on her birthday #100/100 experience

[bongo-clash]

Okay this is a little bit of a weird one but hear me out here: Do you remember that bit at the beginning of 13 where Kitty gets stuck in the 'Unworld'??? I've seen some aus where Danny's like the GZ incarnate but what if he was the Unworld incarnate instead?? I just think it'd be really cool because it's this in-between/'other' dimension and embodying that could really come with some eldritch properties. Plus when he was caught in the portal he Was kind of stuck between the GZ and the living realm so it could make sense!!

#It'd make his dynamic with Vlad interesting too #Because Vlad wasn't caught in the unworld at all for his accident he was just blasted with ectoplasm straight from the GZ #So even though they're both in a similar boat in the sense that they're kind of human kind of ghost #Danny's something Entirely Different at the same time and that could be really cool #It'd also make him Really Scary to the other ghosts if they could tell #Because there's a whole thing in the wiki about it negating all human and/or ghost abilities and keeping you 'stuck forever' #So they might think he's like. A teenage black hole. Like he could just spirit them away if he gets tired of them #I just think it could be fun!!! #(Also if anyone wants to write this Please go ahead because I have no idea if I will lmao!! Would love to read a fic like this!!) #danny phantom #danny phantom au #dp au #danny phantom headcanon #dp headcanons #dp hc #Bongo's Aus!!!

[donnie-and-their-backup-turtles]

i kinda think part of why people treat donnie as less caring than he is is like. sometimes not knowing when he's joking? like that time he threatens to be "semi-lethal" when splinter's in the truck with meat sweats. like i'm sure most of you knew he was joking but like. do some of you realise he like, would not have done that? like remember how he was sad? when splinter actually got hurt? same with leo in the movie? and all of them at every other time?

like he's self proclaimed funniest. and also a mad scientist aesthetic doesn't make a character a villain by itself it's what you actually do with that (yes he has done bad things within that area (haunted stare towards mind meld) but you have to admit he like. did fix those. and feel bad and hopefully learn his lesson but hey that's another analysis)

i have mixed feelings on villain donnie stuff, as an example, because like. ANY character put in a situation where they lose their way is really fun and if in character is really interesting as to what could cause that.

but when it's treated as like. inevitable. who he is, or phrasing his brothers are the only thing stopping him being evil. it's like hm. ugh. kind of hurts a bit actually but that's probably because i relate to him ghfdjk

like the seen in snow day with the tech bo chainsaw like. all he really DOES is cut a snowman there but he's just like. leaning into being "evil" with the chainsaw but like he's just being silly with it. acting like that's proof of anything is wild to me, without any other data points.

also kind of separate but i think there's a dissonance between what is like. seen as evil? between me and like most people lol. like the scene in the movie as well with like "finally, man and machine, entwixt in perfect bionic synergy" someone i watched it with was like "haha evil moment" or whatever where i was just like. yeah real that would be rad as hell. honestly gender also.

not saying he's never done anything wrong but i am saying he immediately tries to fix all of those things

anyway he does have a really interesting relationship with morals in my eyes but like, at his core he really cares about people, you know?

this isn't hate to anyone btw i just care about donnie a lot as a character and as really layered autistic representation

#rottmnt #rottmnt donnie #donnie analysis #making that a tag now because i know what i'm like #rottmnt analysis #i can write so much about donnie. idk if it's good. or accurate. but i can write it #unrelated but it's so funny when people say donnie's cishet or homophobic even (the latter as a joke but. not my type of humor personally) #and then say he's villain coded. like lol. i laugh. i know it's probably different sets of people for the most part but yeah #especially if they compare him to megamind specifically. like okay #megamind famous bisexual neurodivergent and you know. no longer even a villain at the end #like i'm not saying you're wrong i'm saying that it's actually more than just surface level theater kid stuff there (that too though) #like donnie has people who care about him from the start. they're not “keeping him in check” (yikes?) they're caring about him. nuance #but yeah like. genuinely i think it's interesting how he's seen as villain-coded #like i know villains and queer-coding is a known thing but i'm just wondering. is that also a thing with autistic-coding #or do people just naturally not get autistic people in real life and find them scary and that just carries across in responses to fiction #idk #donnie villain fic where he sees how he's perceived anyway by fanon and just gives up on being good #joke but i guess you can steal that just write it well if you do. for me. idk if it'd even be a villain concept really there #he'd probably just be like. sad. and try even harder to be good. #also what about mikey villain fics huh. there's literally a cut episode that would be so fun to play with #anyway feedback appreciated #this was so train of thought i'm sure some of it's unclear

[mewkwota]

I had a Big Thinking Moment today. A lot of the discussion (or rather argument) around Smash Bros and their playable fighters tend to revolve around "popularity"-- which I've come to learn really means "personal familiarity which in turn determines their worth to you".

So I thought with my siblings as to how many of these characters we actually knew prior to any instance of them being mentioned in Smash, this includes if they were placed in discussion as a potential fighter. And I got a, I guess, fairly-decent score for myself.

It's very interesting to see all this now that I have it down on "paper". (With little tidbits on particular Yes-n-No's below.)

To note, my first Smash game was Melee. And I did not own an N64. That in turn already shapes how familiar I am with certain titles.

A lot of the big-mascot characters I knew in passing, save for Mario who I was first exposed through Super Mario World Advanced, and so everyone following after would be seen in passing-- or through Mario Kart.

My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess on the Wii... Very late, I know. I remembered seeing Toon Link from a Windwaker Wii Ad.

I first remembered seeing Kirby in some ad for Nightmare in Dreamland. For some reason I thought he was a badguy.

I first saw Meta-Knight, Dedede, and K.Rool as trophies in Melee.

I recognized Snake in his trailer as "the guy who my cousin showed me throw up on-screen". I do not know which title it was.

I grew up on A Lot of bootlegs. These included titles like Mario Land, Duck Hunt, and Rockman World.

Dark Pit makes no sense because Pit has a palette swap in Brawl that Dark Pit could be based from, but it's also not him exactly. I gave him a pass since he only existed so recently.

I believe my most early memory of Simon would be from some Newgrounds-esque video where he appears for a portion of the video. I would not know more about him until Captain N and after.

I was introduced to Richter's name through a friend's fan-fiction.

I have absolutely no recollection of Banjo's existence prior to discussion of people wanting him in Smash.

I have practically grown up with a majority of the Fighter Passes. My big childhood games include Tekken, Xeno(saga), and Kingdom Hearts-- it would be surprising if I did not recognize someone from a fighting game, I've played so many.

#totally not the “score” I expected but also not too bad I think #it was definitely fun trying to walk through memory lane on the many things I came across for video games #the triforce trio includes any incarnation and even then it's still a No in my memories #also the mii fighters are all grouped together since they're just miis as a whole #it would be kinda weird if you recognized a masculine mii but not a feminine one wouldn't it? they're all in the plaza (I'd hope) :T #anywho I'm glad I did something somewhat productive today #I hope my lack of knowing ye favorite old guy isn't too scary #smash bros #(I don't know how else to tag this)

my personal Media Genres tier ranking and also Neopets Species tiers. put together in the same post just due to being adjacently related because they're on the same website lol

links to the specific tier makers: Media Genres --- Neopets

#(might have to right click open image in new tab to zoom and see some of them. tumblr always makes screenshots tiny) #Also I think this is why I have trouble finding things to watch/just don't watch media very often since I'm so so so hyper specific and #particular that I just end up disliking or neutrally not caring about like.. SO MANY things ghfg #Even being aware of my particular-ness I was still surprised to see how many were in the 'dislike' and 'not care' categories lol #Also it is so so so hard being an Action and Romance genre hater YET being a Fantasy and Historical genre lover ghhjb #EVERY fantasy story is also an action romance.. every historical story is a romance.. ouch oof taking psychic damage always #KIND of like how I LOOOOVE point and click mystery puzzle games but I also generally dislike the horror genre #but many point and click puzzle games I used to see would have horror elements or be 'scary' in some way #and it's like HHRgghh.. I just want to navigate a creepy old dilapidated mansion collecting secret codes from books but NOT in a scary way! #just like I want fantasy & historical content but NOT in an action romance way!! #Also.. NEOPETS.. I think my two favorites are both one of the most common choices and also one of the least lol #like EVERYONE loves aishas pretty much. I think they even won a favorite neopets poll on tumblr. But then nobody talks about vandagyres #or even cares about them (seemingly) and they have like so few clothes or good options because they're just irrelevant apparently #also I know it seems very uncharacteristic for the neopet that's basically A Cat to not be in my favorites but I just gjhjhbj #the eyebrows of the wocky bother me. it doesn't match everything else. Even in different paintrbsuh colors it will be #nice and cohesive and pastel or something and then two big dark lines. I aesthetically love thick dark eyebrows on people it just looks wei #rd on a cartoon cat. ANYWAY.. fun to think about #I love ranking things always #also curious to know if anyone has similar opinions... my fellow vandagyre lovers.. and action movie haters.. cutthroat kitchen fans.. :0c #AND as someone tired of romance in general & ESPECIALLY cardboard cutout cishet romances. yes I would of course like to see more lgbtq+ #stories in media etc. The genre is just not placed higher because so much seems to be Modern Young Adult Romance which of course I hate #those themes lol.. We need some drama comedies with a cast of gay 300yr old elves in victorian costume. please.. ghjgj.. (and like ACTUAL #300 yr olds. NOT 'is immortal bt still acts like an irrational 15yr old bc plot'. what abt jaded eccentric elder romance? hmM? lol) ANYWAY #always manifesting a 'high fantasy historical mystery comedy drama satire psychological character study (with vampires)' into existence lol #if I could make a tv show set in my world... the sheer power I would have.. and nobody would watch it because it would have NO action or #romance (at least none that was serious/was not framed as lame/goofy/comedic) & would have intricate complicated worldbuilding and be very #VERY broadly unmarketable.. but I would finally have a show that meets my tastes lol

oh god okay i understand that maybe not everyone is as indecisive/comfortable with saying "it depends!" as me, but like, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, but i just can't take people who call izzy a villain seriously

#he's a little annoying dude. i swear to fuck #'the real villain in the show is the system and izzy is siding with the system' babygirl he's a pirate 😭 he really isn't 😭 #he could NOT more clearly be -- he literally IS -- that kind of gay man who wears his leathers and anger as an armor because being scary ha #been his way of fighting The System => being consumed and destroyed by it; and who looks down and feels disgusted by flamboyant #and effeminate soft-handed gays because if they're this soft then they clearly haven't experienced this kind of abuse that would make them #harden up. ....you know what i mean. #like idk this show in general like... doesn't have a 'villain'? it's about stede (and ed's) journey and their development. not necessarily #about their Conflict With Someone/Something. i guess it might change in s2 but idk. there are just Situations in which they find themselves #and because of/md is a comedy no one really... holds things against other characters in a long-term way? izzy stabs stede and sells him #out to the english and ed punches him for the latter (which he says 'ok fair' about!!! like!!!) but does he go 'and for all the shit you've #done i'm Firing you as my first mate? no! he slams him against the wall and feeds him his toe but he's like. ok get up and back to work #and he doesn't seem particularly disgusted or upset with him in that final blackbeard's flag 2.0 moment. (nor manipulated; inb4) #like. it's a workplace romcom. the workplace is a pirate ship but it's a workplace and izzy is that annoying coworker who's a bitch and #often ruins everyone's fun but no one like... Seriously ostracizes him. more like applies some light bullying BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY. #COMEDY. do we remember that? #and like. it seems he's going to have a bit of a larger (?) role in s2... it really doesn't seem like the show sees him as a 'villain' or #even an active 'antagonist' either. like ok let's agree 2 disagree and may both sides block each others' asses into oblivion because god #knows both sides have some annoying people but mannnn sometimes... insisting that things Can be divided into Good and Bad... is worse? #shrimp thoughts #once again i wrote a tag novel about an incredibly silly thing. welcome to leatherbookmark
