who up sinning their fest

#one of my worst recent hyperfixations i'll admit #and i dont even have an excuse like ohhh i used to read this back in the late 2000s before all the terf shit #no i got into it in late 2023 this school year cause i stumbled across the tvtropes page #and i was like 'sinfest'? isnt that the name of that terf Twitter comic? but the cover image showed a sick ass artstyle so i read it #and im just obsessed with it now its such a strange spectacle. its like a political cartoon and a newspaper comic at the same time #my fav era has gotta be late 2000s maybe early 2010s sinfest... hell maybe even mid 2010s sinfest if i ignore the sisterhood #now every strip is just about jewish people or calling trans women groomers #and almost every once-likable character is now canonically a terf and/or racist and/or antivaxxer etc #or theyre just not in the comic at all anymore like my dear criminy and fuschia #i hope we never get another appearance from them godbless #cause last time we saw criminy he was helping squig and slick break a terf out of she/her penitentiary. with fuschia's permission #theyre definitely the best part of 2010s sinfest. a bygone era #the best part of 2000s sinfest is the sharp artstyle and lil e just being evil #and the best part of 2020s sinfest seems to be. um. laughing at how ridiculous it is? its kind of hard to enjoy though. #i intend to stay updated on it because i like being able to say i've read all of sinfest start to finish #but man i gotta get an adblocker soon cause i read it on the official website cause idk how else to read it online and the ads are constant #really funny when ur reading a strip criticizing the prevalence of ads in our day to day life #not as funny when you remember tatsuya is probably making money off of them. so yeah im gonna install ublock #but the problem is i usually read it on my school computer to pass time. and that technically isnt my computer so i cant download ublock #anyways. i could ramble on about how much i love and hate and am obsessed w sinfest all day but heres some fanart of the characters. #id like to make my own headcanon version of sinfest aka sinfest if it was good #but headcanons arent enough... i need to kill tatsuya ishida #sinfest #squigley sinfest #monique sinfest #lil e sinfest #the devil sinfest #tangerine sinfest #images that are horrid to see and look at #mspaint

Never bbefore seen digital circus lore straight from my fuckin subconscious apparently

#my art #Tadc #the amazing digital circus #This was just like a tiny segment from it before it just fucked off and became something entirely different #The setting made it feel like TADC was legitimately made alot earlier than it was maybe in the mid 2000s #Felt moreee official??? Like it wasn't made by a small team on the internet #Anyways the “circus” interior looked more like of a big ass slightly dreary castle with big windows so alot of “natural” light came in #Said “natural” light was more of that good ol blue in the early morning and night #Made the Ex girlfriend look a bit more unnerving

[pochapal]

they should invent a phd that doesn't have numerous pressing deadlines. just for me. <3

#:) #my activity kind of dropped off again but that's because last week i was told i need 5000 words of my thesis in by mid december #*and* i've got this other thing with an early january deadline so it's A Lot rn #something like 8000 words of writing and like 2000 pages of reading in the next 4 weeks. kind of overwhelming a little lol #i'm handling it but handling it and navigating Horrors and also other things doesn't leave you with much spare breathing room i gotta say #if i play my cards right i might get a day or two next week free #if that happens that should be enough wiggle room to finally get the umineko writeup done #very mad about that in particular not being finished because i'm like 2000 words max away from being done there #literally all i need is a good three to six uninterrupted hours of work and that's handled #absolute worst case my christmas break is december 18 through january 8 so i'll figure something out then

that one lyric from boygenius' song leonard cohen that goes 'I never thought you'd happen to me' is so adam at lawrence coded but also the reverse

it also kind of reminds me of a happier version of shotgunshipping lol--amanda saying that to lynn on like,, a road trip six months after johns death

have you ever wondered what andrew and co. were listening to at Eden's Twilight?? well then do i have the playlist for you! here's a mix of Nicky's Club Bangers that he made for the monsters nights out. there's enough songs to have you dancing until dawn, exactly the way nicky would want.

unlike my other mixes, this doesn't have anything to do with him as a person or his ~feelings, this is purely a mix of songs i think nicky would jam to at the club. there's a whole mix of genres and languages but they're all made to PARTY. basically, this is every song that makes nicky go 'that's my JAM' while running to the dance floor.

hope y'all enjoy!

#this is a fun one #it's a pride mix if you squint #bc i'm gay and so is nicky and i think he would LOVE these songs #nicky said No Sad Songs Here and i agree #nothing's worse than when a dj tries to throw in an adele remix #just give me the bangers please !!! #this mix is definitely NOT period accurate but there ARE a ton of early/mid-2000s jams on there #just because of who i am as a person #AND there are songs in multiple languages bc nicky wouldn't let something like a language barrier stop him from grooving #and neither should you #i hope y'all enjoy #nicky hemmick #aftg #all for the game #the monsters #eden's twilight #fanmix #picture from a walk the moon concert i went to in 2015 lmao

What would you change about htf if you had control of the show?

oh, easy. i would expand handy and mole (ESPECIALLY mole) as characters, and turn them into something more than one note "haha, disabled people are funny!" jokes

#ace rambles #happy tree friends #like i get that it's a web show from the early/mid 2000s but seriously #how many scenes do either of them have that aren't ''haha mole is blind'' or ''haha handy has no hands'' #anonymous

watching that movie made me, overwhelmingly, feel extremely good about my own AU and the choices I make and the tone and so on and so forth—

not that I've been down on my AU but rather, it made me say to myself, maybe this dream sequence I've written, or that fight scene or whatever else, they ARE on-the-nose, and heavy-handed, and sometimes (lbr, often) melodramatic, and sometimes even purposefully disorienting, and maybe it is kind of goofy to have a set-up with a specific song matched to a specific scene, and also, maybe that's a good thing. maybe heavy-handed symbolism and telegraphing your intent rules, actually, and allowing yourself to indulge in something lengthy and specifically tailored to your own tastes does, in fact, own, and other people might love it after all, and maybe there is an audience for it somewhere, even (especially) if it's just a dozen sicko-mode comic book weirdos. maybe having a scene where (this one's mine) the villain blasts the righteous brothers' version of "unchained melody" out of the Citi Field sound system—directly referencing the fact that he dies at Shea Stadium in the comics—is great actually, and I should not worry about whether or not people might think it's stupid or w/e else.

and here's the thing, I'm not saying Madame Web is like fanfiction (though I'm not saying it's not), I'm saying it's like my favorite comics which I suppose could be a terrible indictment for some, knowing my taste in comics, but imo it rules because that's why I like Spider-Man, that's what I'm here for!! I do want movies that are like comic books! Yes! And that's why I write my AU, so it's like, extremely on the same page as what I'm doing which is... a very self-indulgent mid-2000s period piece that's unreasonably long but which (probably) requires that length to actually tell the story I'm trying to tell (albeit with a lot of detours in my case) (lol) and which is very much invested in the trappings of the fiction, its aesthetics, its sounds, its motions...

it just feels very, like—someone else gets it! you know? and in some ways the flaws kind of add to that? like... the bad CGI kind of makes it better??? but it's like, I do have this specific taste in comics, and so it's really fun to see a movie that feels like it was very much tuned to that specific wavelength, which is a wavelength that a lot of people don't like (or straight up hate) but which I fucking adore—

idk, it makes me giddy! it was very much the right movie at the right time for me, i think, just in being able to have that weirdly specific Vibe Connection lmao

#nadia rambles #like these are things that I already knew BUT there is something about seeing a movie like this #which is clearly drawing a lot from very specific comics (early to mid 2000s) #like did you also read sensational spider-man as written by roberto aguirre-sacasa? and did you love it? because i love it #IS IT CORNY? YES. IS THE ACTING SOMETIMES NOT GREAT? YES. AND IT RULES. #i am.............. ecstatic #it's like... the most oblique form of external validation in a weird way

[useful-boy]

Glad You Came by The Wanted really is a great song

#i just love it a lot #i always love when im going through random music vids from like the early-mid 2000s and that comes up #i am nostalgic for the songs of my youth #i think avril lavigne would destroy me right now

Anon 2000s nostalgia

In the early 2000's I finished high school and went to college. I was so stressed out, and in many ways very stupid, and didn't appreciate it at the time. But god do I wish we could go back. Pop culture seemed so dumb, but today it's even dumber. The post 9/11 world seemed so dire, but today things feel even worse. The Patriot act was the height of tyranny! But it was just a stepping stone to even more authoritarianism. --- You know one thing I really miss? When most people still understood how important freedom of speech was! I think it was the height of free speech in my lifetime:

The Evangelical Christian Conservatives had lost the cultural power to enforce their prudishness and were mocked by comedians.

The 80's/90's PC movements from the leftist academics had not gained any traction, and were mocked by comedians.

People who got themselves all worked up and offended by things were rightfully mocked as the weak morons the are.

It was "anything goes" when it comes to comedy, horror, political discourse. And everyone recognized it as a good thing.

Xbox live voice chat.

But then at some point it seems like the progressives realized that the Christians Conservatives didn't have the power to censor anyone anymore, and that was the signal that the left no longer had to pretend to care about free speech. Thus began an ever growing snowball of political correctness which continues to this day and busted open the doors for all sorts of impending speech controls in the name of bullshit like "misinformation", "disinformation" and the new term they made up as an excuse to censor verifiably true things: "malinformation".

Dude you nailed it. You absolutely nailed how I feel about the 2000s. I also finished high school and also college in this decade. Our mid gen Y generation was raised on this idea that there were these conservative blockheads running the culture. We were raised to be so sensitive to it. At some point the progressives realised they completely won the culture war long ago, and over the next decade and a half went rampant with their authoritarianism. So while I miss the aesthetics of the 2000s, the risk taking innovative tech that wasn't too invasive in life, my youth at the time. The thing that sticks out the most is both sides of the political divide could respect each other's free speech. It went beyond that too, don't we miss when everything didn't have to be political?

tomb raider has always drawn its narratives from what can only be described as conspiracy theory heaven, the egyptian pyramids, the barkhang monastery, what have you. but as a very bold move on core design's part, they did not indulge in orientalism. quite often the conspiratorial myths are set in italy, england, france, and of course, area 51.

#i'm replaying the classic tomb raider games #the closest i get to nostalgia is pirated media from the late 90s #experienced posthumously in the early to mid 2000s #played and replayed over many a sweltering summer afternoon #the ceiling fan competing with the cpu fan #generating a dull ominous drone #that deepened the gloom of the deserted tombs #tomb raider #phenakistoskope.txt

What kind of obstacle that prevenrs beyond birthday from being on sexypedia then

B is probably not that mainstream or well known a character to most, and he also predates Tumblr's peak popularity and relevance too (he comes closer to MySpace days than Tumblr days)

#tumblr culture mostly came about in the early 2010s #death note was very mid 2000s #which is like myspace and 4chan etc #B is from like 2006-2007 #beyond birthday #ask #anon #p
