#guys. i am loosing my mind.

[griancraft]

Hi guys, this is sort of my official "please, for the love of god, listen to Skyjacks with me” post because I’m losing my mind and all the content I can find is from the latest stuff right now, and I don’t want to spoil myself. I want to be able to talk about this with people!!!! I will make a watch (listen) party discord if there is enough interest. Just give it a chance; you won’t regret it. Also, some information may be wrong or outdated. I’m on episode 11 out of over 200.

Skyjacks is a ttrpg podcast about sky pirates in a world where there was a catastrophe about 200 years ago that left the sea unsafe to sail and maybe even damaged the entire world to the point where civilization is scattered and in small groups. There is very casual queer rep, and it’s casual to the point where it really just fits into the world perfectly.

A brief summary of the premise of the first episode will hopefully get you hooked. I’m really bad at summaries, but I promise it’s a billion times better than how I talked about it here:

Captain Orimar Vale is dead, and a mutiny will be on Gable, Jonnit, Travis, and Dref’s hands if they are unable to keep up the ruse of him being alive. To do this, necromancy (deeply forbidden magic) is performed by the Dref, the ship's doctor, to turn him into a semi-functional zombie. Captain Orimar is famous for his abilities as a captain; to replicate this will take great skill.

As they run out of supplies, they make a desperate decision: port on the land of one of Orimar’s scorned lovers or deal with the growing uneasiness of the rest of the crew. They haven’t seen their captain healthy in months, and whispers about his health are starting. However, greater danger will await them when they take to the skies again, lurking just beyond the clouds…

And more propaganda as to why I think you guys will like it:

There are unique and interesting gameplay mechanics they use to tell a really cool story, and if you like Hermitcraft or any other sorta storytelling-based SMP, I promise you’ll like it. Like. If you liked Boatem from Hermitcraft 8, you’ll love the characters in Skyjacks. The players are exceptionally good at playing their characters, their humour is unmatched by anything similar I’ve had the pleasure of seeing, and the story is prioritized, which I think is an amazing choice.

Best part? It’s still ongoing after, like, 5 years. Some people have left, but a good chunk of the OG cast has stayed. Not that leaving is bad, because holy crap, 5 years is a long time, and stories have to end at some point! It’s a good way of getting into something and knowing there is still a shit ton of content to be explored.

The music is good. The story is good. The characters and humour are amazing. The lore of the world is sprinkled throughout, and as you learn more about the world, the more excited you get. It’s incredible so far, and if you decide to listen to it, I will actually love you forever and ever. My boyfriend is on episode 190, and he finds it so funny every time I go. Oh my god, this is so cool.

Link to the podcast, but in a playlist (up to 180). So it’s in order and easy to find, since it’s a part of something else from the oneshot network:

#I need you guys to get into skyjacks I cannot do this alone #Can’t even look in the skyjacks tag for fan art to loose my mind about because I am literally over 200 1hr+ episodes BEHIND #I promise it is so worth it #I’m almost done episode 11 : #which is so so early so it would be very easy to catch up to me #I’m going to reblog this once a day or so I think #collapses in a heap of dust this post was never supposed to be this long #also please don’t spoil me if you’re ahead or get ahead guys istg i will kill you with my bare hands I’ll put my episode number in my pinne #ack tags too long #me when I infodump for 45 minutes straight when I should be working on my final essay #I’m dragging you fuckers kicking and screaming.

Was explaining to a friend how socially inept optimus is in tfp which devolved into a 20 minute long tedtalk where I just kept providing examples of megatron trying to engage in any semblance of banter while battling optimus and optimus’ only response is to frown bigger. He just keeps looking more and more intense until someone else comes in to relieve the social tension. Some may call it romantic/sexual tension between exes but in actuality optimus —“do you want to see something funny” “no”— prime is just incapable of holding any conversation and leaves megatron to flounder in this conversational void, turning every sentence said into an increasingly pathetic monologue. Megatron seems obsessed with optimus because he’ll say something insulting or set bait to goad optimus into a response but instead optimus just stares and frowns. And if there’s one thing megatron refuses to do it’s backtrack so he’ll just keep digging. The only time megatron is freed from this prison is when ratchet is there to insult him back but because megatron’s focus starts on optimus it just ends up turning into megatron and ratchet arguing over optimus’ honour while he’s off to the side pummelling whatever vehicon/corpse/seeker megatron has set on him, or is falling off a cliff because his legs are too long and in however many millennia it’s been he still can’t get used to the robot puberty the matrix put him through

#fun side note this brought both of us to tears from laughing #they’ve only seen the first season of tfp but honestly that’s enough #god optimus is #So Bad at holding conversations #Mac mumbles #I say all of this out of love #but man #this guy is so closed off and anti confrontational that he can’t even kill megatron to end the war #I am loosing my mind what is Wrong with him #transformers prime #tfp #optimus #tfp optimus #optimus prime #megatron #tfp megatron #maccadam

some ccs are just straight up nuts there’s no other explanation

#saw a comment on r/dwt2 and it made me look into the moonzy/draggie situation #this freak accused him of having ‘grooming tendencies’ when he was YOUNGER than her #he showed all their DMs and it was just reciprocated flirting ?? #he was initiated more but it seemed reciprocal to me? #she just got mad at him bc he replied to one of her tweets where she was flirting with Karl with ‘ouch’ #<- replied in DMs I mean #I guess bc she thought the flirting was a joke ?? #how is this an ‘experience’ you need to speak up about im loosing my mind #‘guy flirted with me I flirted back but I wasn’t really interested pls show ur sympathies and like and subscribe🥺’ #and in her statement she was talking about an anon who came out about their experiences prior #saying they had been groomed but draggie had fully debunked that years ago #so idk why she was bringing that up ?? #and ofc you have aim.sey and max and sniff in the replies with their heart emojis #straight up nuts I’m losing brain cells here #btw she’s the one who said something about how a lot of ccs didn’t support her #including big ones from that ‘stupid mine.craft server’ (meaning dsmp obv) #just nuts straight up nuts #negativity #like I have to be missing something (and if I am pls tell me but I don’t think I am???) #because saying this cringe flirting with someone YOUNGER THAN YOUUU is ‘groomer tendencies’ is fucking nuts #it’s just what is with these people like what’s wrong with them #why does mildly uncomfortable experience = horrible predator we need to inform the public about bc they’re a danger to society #sorry I’m done I’m just actually upset lol

Me: oh yeah I’ll just swing by my design team for a few hours to help out, then go back to my dorm to do homework.

It has been six hours. I went to the library afterwards to print and do homework. It is now one am.

I have an 8am tomorrow.

#I am having fun. especially since the transphobic guy left so he stopped making homophobic jokes #but a ton of this was designed by like one guy and he didn’t make any instructions or like. write anything down #and there is some cad he made but he didn’t update it with the final design #anyways I’m slowly loosing my mind

so like. lately I've been feeling like there's some kind of Thing living in this house with me, like a spirit or creature or something, and i feel like it's been here a long time bc of how long things have been going missing in this house with no explanation. and i noticed when i got really badly sick i lost something and it made me like. sob uncontrollably bc it was important. and then i started Finding things in odd places. so i started thanking the mysterious entity. and now I'm finding More Stuff more often. and like i feel strange for believing in this entity bc I've always been told believing in pagan things is childish (??????) and feel awkward thanking it but also i Want To bc it's polite. anyway i wanna like. leave a little offering or something but don't know what would be appropriate bc i also dont know what entity this is

#first thought is like. house fairies #I've always thought it was something fae related i think? #but like i. don't really know a lot about real fairy folklore bc of all the Media I've consumed #i don't really know what's accurate and what isn't #like sometimes fairies are depicted as extremely powerful and like. human sized #sometimes they're just tiny little trickster guys #and also i don't know what folklore like. applies to me if that makes sense????? #im White™ and whatever culture my ancestors had was scrubbed away to force jesus in instead and i don't know how much my blood matters #I'm mostly german and welsh and was raised like. loosely catholic #and the word appropriation has been watered down so much by The Internet that i can never tell if I'm Doing That anymore #I'm just scared to do literally anything bc what if someone says i am #but also i feel very very drawn to certain myths and stories and entities and feel like letting that go would tear me apart in a way #like I'd just lose something and there'd be a hole that couldn't be filled by any other belief #I've TRIED to fit in other beliefs but they just don't click #i dunno. im scared of doing something wrong but it feels like home to me #anyway i want to leave an offering to this Entity in my house to thank it for returning some things #but dunno what i could use #do you think a fairy would appreciate lactose free vanilla coffee creamer. we dont have normal milk #i also wonder if candy would work. i have a ton of chocolate and caramel #though i also wonder if the Entity is stealing candy from the jars on my windowsill #i wouldn't mind that i don't mind sharing

black sails is still so insane like yeah! here you go! fun pirate show! heres the utter torment that is being queer in this time period. heres several episodes setting up an m - f - m love triangle before they reveal it was far FAR more complicated than that. here are lesbians. everyone fucking sucks. have fun

#lesbians taken loosely because i do genuinely adore that they keep all of it vague #this was my heartstopper guys. does that explain a lot about me. yes #but you need to understand the PROFOUND effect that scene had on me. like just. all of it #the way the entire season sets up a 'ohohoho hes having an affair with his best friend's wife' ONLY TO TURN ALL OF THAT ON ITS HEAD #AND NOT ONLY THAT. THE ENDING? #DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE AMOUNT OF QUEER REP I HAD SEEN IN FICTION WHEN I WAS 14. ESPECIALLY ON TV #THIS WAS PRE HEARTSTOPPER. PRE WWDITS. PRE TMA AND WTNV. I LOST MY MIND #black sails means SO much to me i cant put into words the effect it had on me as a kid. but also if this show released now #i would bet actual money that the young queers of now would cancel it for problematic queer people <3 #all the sex & violence... flint being. flint. #this entire show is what im talking about when i say i want less sanitized queer rep. this. iwtv. hannibal. like theyre all fucked up #but they contain incredibly flawed people. ESPECIALLY black sails has character depth #like these people do awful things and they mess up and their love sometimes isnt PURE and theyre PIRATES. THEYRE PIRATES #like i wouldnt exactly recommend it 'if you liked ofmd' but if you liked ofmd and hannibal/iwtv. and you havent seen this. #i cant recommend it to people who just like ofmd the genre is too different. like yeah its a queer pirate show but its also a period drama. #i am so incoherent rn i love this show

[hazeism]

I understand you Demerzel treating Cleon I like a little poppet is the most fun ever. many tentative and shifting designs.

#he's perfect to meeeeeeeee #he's sooooo pathetic I draw him at least once a day #guy who loves/hates to develop a psychosexual obsession with his political counsel #his color used to be statesman blue but then I realized like. oh duh. he's imperial purple. i was so silly! #some of these are based loosely on things that i am writing but most of these are just completely made the fuck up. i hate character design #asimov chronology #Cleon I #Eto Demerzel #Prelude to Foundation #Forward the Foundation #visual #doodle #semi-finished #queue #I think those are all the tags yeah #some of these cleons are teenager-ish because how fucking crazy is it that demerzel was some sort of inherited artifact from his father #how long did he live in his mind. jesus christ #the colored one btw is not ven my headcanon i jjst like drawing men in the pseudo-Aegean fashion

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

Once again I've been a fool who thought i knew everything there is to be known about Warsaw

Only to be humbled by discovering a slight but ??? interaction that Bomba and Misto have in like the first 2 mins of Jellicle songs

It's ??? cuz she seems to be making out or smth with a pole she's holding on to, Skimble seems to be confused/judgy when he notices and she stops when Misto, who stands below her, like look up at her and looks around?

Idk, maybe it counts as an interaction or not, but I know i had no fucking idea she was even in that spot and i've watched this boot literally hundreds of times in the last over 3 years so there's that

#i was just wanting to skim it to see if he got any kittens between his legs at any point cuz thats one of the adulthood signs in warsaw XD #98 i think only had it happen to munk once but in warsaw it happens a lot XD #and you can tell if someone's a kitten or adult by which side they fall on XD #anyway XD #cats warsaw and it's infinate amout of stuff everyone in the background is doing am i right XD #cats the musical #cats warsaw #warsaw guy talks #just some late night loosing my mind over warsaw time
