ANGST HIHIHIHI.

okokok so, what about a scenario where the reader shows purely comforting and platonic affection to Jeff. Like placing their hand on his cheek, gently rubbing their thumb and saying ''you're not as bad as everyone puts you out to be. You're beautiful Jeff.'' and jeff being the desperate incel he is falls inlove with the unsuspecting reader. BUT!!!!!!!! BUT! the reader is taken by Toby! and boy are they an affectionate pair!!! so jeff cant have reader!!!

-🃏

OH GAWD.THIS IS GONNA HURT AS HES MAH FAVVVV 😭

I don't deserve love,do I ?

Jeffery was tired. He really was. He always has been. He had never shown it to his family. He couldn't. He didnt want to. But, ever since that incident..the"night of murder" in forest lawn,he has needed someone he could vent to. Someone...who would listen without getting scared of his face.

And then..he met...You. You listened,without giving a damn about his face. You took care of him. And today,while he was crying,you,like usual,were patting his back. While your other hand was on his cheek, softly caressing his cheek.. "Oh.Jeff. Stop crying! Im sure Liu didnt mean it! Your not as bad as everyone thinks you are Jeffery. ...Yoy deserve love." "N-no..I don- Don't. ...I dont-" "You do! Please dont say such things!" You said arguing back.

It was quite. Silence filled the air. "F-fine." His voice shaky. He looked at you. His icy blue eyes were a little red,red from crying,as a single tear rolled down. You smiled at him and wiped that tear with your index finger.

His carved smile widened,but not creepily,rather sweetly. A slight pink tint on his porcelain skin. He love you...didnt he?

1 month later-

Taking a walk in the garden around the mansion was a rare thing for Jeff to do. Especially without troubling or humiliating someone. But maybe,there was something special? Oh yes,yes it was. Walking with a bouquet a your favorite flowers in hand,Jeff was walking up to the place where you mostly sat. A bench surrounded by roses,peonies,lillies and various other flowers.

After 3 minutes or so,he reached. But what he saw,made his already broken heart hurt even more. You...with...Toby. KISSING HIM. You both kissed for a good while,then stopped,looked at each other and then hugged. "I love ya Toby!". You exclaimed. " I-I d-do too".

Jeff was hurt...his bouquets of your favorite flowers falling to the ground,tears welling up in his eyes. Wrong...Oh how WRONG he was. HOW..how could he even THINK that such a SWEETHEART like you would love a MONSTER like him. Oh how foolish of him to think about a future filled with love. "I hate Toby. I hate him. I'll fucking murder him and Take Y/N away and then make them mine-"Stop.

All the voices in his head came to a stop as he heard you giggling. His eyes snapped back to you and Toby. It seemed like Toby had cracked a joke. Oh the way you were laughing. It...made.Jeff's heart feel SO GOOD. But it also made him stop feeling jealous or hurt. He loved you. But..you loved Toby. And..if..he took Toby...Away...You could never love him nor be happy.

And he didnt want you to be sad. The same laugh that he loved...he knew it would be taken away if he killed Toby. So...no...he wont. He will never hurt him.He took a turn and left. He didnt want to see more.

Walking back...He realized. He was right. He really was..wasn't he?

"I don't deserve love....don't I?"

OMG OPEN INBOX I THINK??? SO EXCITED!!!! COULD YOU MAYBE TALK ABOUT THE PUPPETEER OR HELEN,,, MAYBE TOGETHER POSSIBLY X3

RAHHH I NEVER GET TO WRITE FOR THESE STINKERS BUT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH <333

Thank you so much for requesting!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

General headcanons!

The puppeteer

He's around 5'10

Im kind of 50/50 on his sexuality, I'd like to say hes bi, but idk i feel like hes straight

We'll go bi with a fem lean

Pronouns are he/him, he's cis

He's american

His aesthetic is a mix of grunge and mall goth

I feel like he'd be a vengeful spirit/ghost

He likes to pretend he's moved on from that first girl, but he really hasn't

He died at age 21, and would be around 26 if he would have continued aging

But due to him not letting go of that "unfinished buisness" he hasn't aged

He smells like general cologne and maybe a tiny bit of laundry detergent

He's kinda lanky and thin

Hes kind of annoying tbh

Soooo whiney and mopey omg

"If i never would have died I might've found someone new 😭 she took everything away from me 😔😔😔"

"Dude stfu im literally just trying to get some soda" -jeff probably

His proxy tattoo is on his right shoulder

He's supringly really clean

Literally everything else about him is fine, he's just a major bummer to be around

and also kind of an incel

His hobbies include listening to midwest emo bands, writing "poetry" and watching south park

Occasionally you'll see him warming up some pizza bagels and he'll try to pretend he's all mysterious and such a bad boy by shimmying away

Im going to be so for real with you, he probably idolizes jeff and tim

Theyre just so manly 😱😱

Also really wants what bella and edward have

Can you guess which one he wants to be in that situation?

Thats right!! Its edward!!

Like i said, incel

The bloody painter

He's 5'8

He doesn't really take a romantic interest in people, so most of the time I'd say he's aroace

But idk man, theres something in the way he looks at men and constantly draws them thats a little...💅...yk?

Like he'd never want to actually have a relationship with anyone, or engage in any physical intimacy with anyone, he just thinks that the male figure is especially beautiful

Pronouns are they/he, poor dude has had soooo many identity crises

The conclusion he came to was that he doesnt mind being a boy, he DEFINETLY does not wanna be a girl, but he does like expressing his gender with more fluidity

He's 22 years old, and he's french

He has a really heavy french accent, and pnly really speaks english when needed

He has an obsession with circle shaped choclate

Specifically circle shaped

He is kind of skinny, with long fingers

He smells like rose petal deoderant, paint and fresh cotton

His proxy tattoo is on the back of his neck

He also has a little star tattoo on his wrist

I feel like he'd be very in love with the idea of multimedia art pieces

He wants to make a fashion line someday, he just needs to learn how to sew

He has his very own art studio on the first floor of the manor, the walls are completely windowed and there is canvases and unfinished works everywhere

He's generally very quiet and observant, only speaking when spoken to

His few friends include jane, liu, and ej

His relationship with ej is complicated though

He wants to be his friend but also....he is in LOVE with his structure

Ej has such a perfect face shape for and pil painting, combined with his gorgeous skin tones and dreadlocks that frame his face oh so beautifully??

Mwah. Chefs kiss

But will helen ever admit that? Nope

He has a little bird he's named "eros"

Such a silly little dude <333

ALSO HE HAS LOTS OF TRAUMA SURROUNDING BEING FEMININE AND GENDER ILL ONLG ELABORATW IF PEOPLE WANT ME TO TJOUGJ

#creepypasta #slender mansion #bloody painter #the puppeteer #creepypasta x y/n #creepypasta x you

i swear to god i am not an alarmist nor do i want to sound like one but time is a circle and history repeats blah blah but i think its important we recognize that the satanic panic IS back and we might be about to face those horrible fucking things all over again (imo satanic panic actually never ended but thats a tumblr essay for another day) researching the satanic panic was a fairly in-depth special interest of mine for a few years and i am seeing a number of very concerning headlines that lead me to believe the current conservative narrative paired with major headline murders will eventually lead to the same issues (or worse) than the 70s and 80s. tw for anything related to true crime/death below the fold im assuming this will get suppressed because of the topic also so feel free to reblog if you are so inclined.

there are two major court cases and one social media movement that lead me to this conclusion currently given their media coverage within a calendar year. i HOPE i am overexaggerating but i AM deeply concerned.

aiden fucci - this teen was recently sentenced after pleading guilty to murdering another teen in 2021. coverage of this case heightened when evidence was shown in the sentencing hearings which included "satanic" drawings. this was the first case i saw to raise my red flags.

the delphi murders which recently (like yesterday) had a major update which is what prompted me to make this post. this is a case of two girls in delphi, indiana who were murdered but managed to capture the potential killer on snapchat. the suspect was recently found and has now released a 100 page affidavit detailing why the girls were killed. this affidavit details sacrificial ceremonies and a cult of odinism. this case has received a large amount of interest over the years as it was long considered an unsolved case, this case will receive much larger attention nationally than cases like aiden fucci and may be the beginning of the panic "properly."

also worth mentioning is bryan kohberger - while this case has not taken the full panic on yet i am not counting it out as trial has not started. this is the idaho four murder suspect out of pellman washington. his case has gained notoriety and he is still awaiting trial as he just waived his speedy trial rights. you may have heard about this case prior to kohberger's arrest when a tiktok psychic claimed a professor committed the murders out of lesbian rage. this was proven to be untrue and kohberger is currently the only suspect on record. but how is this related to satanic panic? this case is currently being devoured by conservative journalists and "lone wolf" media figures who are convinced the entire case is a police cover-up for everything from drug abuse to cp to trafficking itself. major incel groups are flooding to content surrounding the case, littering their videos with dog whistles, to try and change the narrative. this is not currently a major satanic panic foundation to me but this coverage has gone so many different ways and the coverage is so fucked that i have my eye on it. as for social media, recent years have seen a rise in christian influencers. this has been, in-part though not solely because, "cringe" reaction channels or commentary channels have platformed many of these influencers. these influencers have used their newfound holy fame to create videos exposing "satan" in media. we may look at them and laugh but they are spreading true fear that at least some people believe. this is extremely harmful when we consider that real, convicted murder cases are supporting these ideas. we've seen this story before just decades earlier without the internet.

if you're reading this freaking out over the possibility of another widespread campaign to eliminate non-christians, queer people, and poc then i encourage you to read about the satanic panic of the past to better inform yourself. get better at identifying ai-generated articles, images, and conservative fear mongering. here are my personal reading recommendations. if i am afraid for no reason then hey at least you have some reading reccs. again i hope im wrong, i never want to see that shit repeated but fuck if i dont absolutely fear this next election year and what it may bring out. books on the satanic panic and/or its lead-up: unmask alice by rick emerson satan's silence by debbie nathan satanic panic: pop cultural paranoia in the 1980s chaos by tom o'neill books on misinformation or conspiracy: trust the plan by will sommer the midnight kingdom by jared sexton the storm is upon us by mike rothschild

not-books that you can also check out: you're wrong about the satanic panic conviction: american panic shanspeare 'doja cat and the return of the satanic panic'

#satanic panic #current events #misinformation #i dont want to tag this true crime but unfortunately it is #if i tag it with anything else its gonna get flagged so rip #michelle does txt

mannnn just found out abt the limbus company shit that went down - tldr korean mra incels (sizable, very loud group) got upset the game was being "too feminist", went on the warpath, made a target out of a female artist with years-old feminist / pro-choice tweets on a personal account, and. review-bombed lcb, harassed projmoon, and apparently showed up at the projmoon offices. and projmoon fired her and released an official apology

and i mean. obviously feeling like shit after learning all that bc wow. and also the Discourse already surrounding it has me so fucked up

like 80-90% of the reactions im seeing are centered around "ooooh do we crucify projmoon for their response or not. are you a bad person for [hating them / making any excuses for them / still playing or not playing or drawing or not drawing]. wow the feminism wasn't even extreme by our western standards, but in Korean Culture TM,"

...i feel like "oh, there's a large organized faction of alt-right fans. and they can easily enough make physical threats, and stage harassment campaigns. which the parent game company then caves to" is the central, really scary part here? and immediately launching into infighting, and guilt-tripping, and placing moral weight on the response of the (non-human, profit-oriented) company and not on the (human, malice-oriented) alt-right hate group is

okay so it's about the expected response from tumblr. sure

#rare vent poast bc fuck. mannn. holy shit

Im here to ask for some Riddler hc with a male s/o

Please all of the ones in the tag are just fem or just an extremely feminized reader. I just want to kiss the incel and not get dysphoria orz

I hope this is good! ^^

---

In the dim, neon green light, your eyes adjusted to your surroundings. You had once again been ordered over intercom to move from room to room into whatever hideout or safe house or riddle nightmare dungeon The Riddler had squatting in.

You hadn't known what had made the man pick you. You weren't necessarily out of the ordinary, didn't stand out more than any other citizen of Gotham. You weren't especially wealthy or powerful. The Riddler should have had no real reason to target you. In fact, you couldn't even recall having seen him before, outside of news reports.

The only thing you could call back to was the strange feeling that you had been watched for the past few months. You had waved it off as a paranoia, and now you had come to regret it. This was Gotham, after all. If someone felt as though they were being watched, there was at least a chance of it being true.

Though luck hadn't been on your side in that matter, it had at least been in your grasp during the riddle trials he subjected you to.

You awoke here, in the dark, in one of the seemingly endless rooms you found in the building Riddler stuck you in. It had taken a few minutes for you to truly wake, to shake the grog from your mind as you adjusted to the dim light.

Feeling your way around the room, you had found a letter. Squinting your eyes, you made out the message.

It is priceless, but it comes to you for free. What is it?

Your heart sunk, your eyes going wide and mouth dropping open in horror at your circumstance. Your heart radiated in your chest, breathing becoming shallow and fast as panic and adrenaline overtook you. It took everything within you to keep your legs from going weak and slumping to the floor in hopelessness.

Oh, God. Oh, God, why you? You hadn't even seen the guy in person before! What did he want from you?!

Trying to get your breathing under control, you read over the riddle again. It is priceless and comes to you for free...

Glancing to your side, you could spot the outline of a door that hadn't been visible to you before. And beside the door was a receiver, most likely in which to give your answer.

Slowly, you approached, note still in your shaky hands.

Priceless and free. Was it... Silence? Silence was golden, and it was free.

You took a shaky breath, slowly breathing out. "Silence?"

The speaker fizzled to life as you heard a voice imitating a buzzer. "Not quite! Try again."

If your mind could have made a noise at that moment, it would most assuredly be the sound of an old dialup computer as it tried to process what just happened.

The Riddler. The Riddler had spoken to you. Bad told you that you had gotten his answer wrong. And you were still alive. Not that you were complaining, but this was normally the part where he started killing people.

Try again. He wanted you to try again. Well, not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, you thought over the riddle again.

It is priceless, but it comes to you for free. What is it?

Your eyes practically burned a whole into the paper, as though hoping it would reveal some sort of secret. This wasn't even fucking fair, anyway. You could know every riddle on Earth, but put someone in a life-or-death situation, and it's no wonder they forget everything!

He was probably running out of patience. He could kill you at any moment.

Licking your lips, you decided on your answer.

"... Love?"

Almost immediately, you heard the sound of a lock being opened, and Edward's voice flooded into the room.

"You got it! I knew you would...~"

For a moment, you simply stared at the door, unblinking. You took in your situation, at what the criminal had just said, at the both terror and relief at still being alive.

Eventually, taking a deep, shaky breath, you forced yourself forward, hoping that once you stepped out of the door, you'd be free.

Of course it couldn't be that easy. You barely made it through the other trials Edward had put you through.

You were placed into another room, with another note.

I am round, thin and shiny, and often studded with stones; I am one symbol of a relationship. What am I?

A timer began to tick down as you took in the room. You knew you needed a ring - but which one?! The dark room was littered with them. On the floor, on tables, hung up on hooks. Metal rings, copper rings, rings that toss at carnival games. Throwing yourself to the floor, you dug and sifted through the different rings that were on the floor.

30...

You pawed at any of the rings on the floor, hoping that touching them would count as an answer.

25...

But what if that doesn't count? Did you need to wear them?! You began fumbling with them to put them on, sliding the bigger rings onto your wrists like bracelets.

20...

Your hands shook with adrenaline as you looked over the rings on the table. Your anxiety and the low light made all the circles blend into one blobby shape as you tried to figure out which one was the right one. You held back sobs as you tried to deduce which one was right - if there even was a right answer.

15...

You jumped, hearing a clicking noise to your left. Whipping your head about, you spotted it: One of the rings that were hung on a hook, suddenly illuminated in green lighting.

10...

You flung yourself over to it, your whole body shaking as you wrestled the other rings off a finger.

5...

You couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't hold the thing without dropping it, your vision going fuzzy with tears. This is it, you were dead!

5...

You managed to pick it up on your second near-blind swipe at the ring.

5...

Had... Had the timer stopped?

You never took your eyes off the timer as you put on the ring, unblinking.

Another unlocking noise.

"Such a smart cookie!" The Riddler spoke again. "And Batman has the audacity to say he's the smartest man in the city!"

You were pretty certain Batman had never said anything like that, but weren't exactly in a position to argue.

Another room, another life-or-death riddle.

When it comes to both you and matters of the heart, it can break you under the wrong amount of pressure. What am I?

Luckily, the walls closing in on you steadily lead you toward the answer rather quickly.

"A crush!" You screamed.

In an instant, the walls returned to their original positions. As the door unlocked, Riddler praised you once more.

"It's incredible how witty you are in dire circumstances. It seems we have a lot in common!"

And the final room. You head felt fuzzy as you tried to recall what happened before you lost consciousness.

A knife. And a note that read, What is mine, but only you can have?

A body on the ground. A woman. You felt sick. You knew that riddle. The answer was "my heart", but what was thr body for?

"My heart!" You announced.

"You're very close, dear."

You swallowed, turning your attention back to the woman's body. God, you felt like you were gonna vomit. Slowly, you searched the woman's pockets. She felt deathly cold even through her clothes. Pulling out a wallet, you opened it.

Maya. Maya Hart.

Your eyes flicked back to the knife, and an image flashed into your mind that made you retch.

No. No, no, no, no, please, God, don't let him make you do this. You didn't want to. Even if she was already dead, she was still a person...!

But, he'd never let you out of here if you didn't solve it.

You didn't even recall picking up the knife. Just the feel of it in your hands. The flash of metal in the dim light. The sick sounds and how her blood looked so black in the light. The feel of the already cold organ in your hands as you barely kept yourself from becoming sick.

My heart.

And then... You couldn't recall the next moments after that. The Riddler had probably stuck up on you, attacking from behind and knocking you out somehow, and here you were. Tied up in another room, restrained in a chair. Waiting for death. Or worse.

You kept your head hung, as it had been when you awoke, waiting for the inevitable. Or maybe stalling the inevitable. Either way, you waited in the darkness until the weight and strain of your position grew to be too much.

The cracking of your back hadn't made you gasp, but it sounded like someone else had. Someone in the same room as you.

Him.

He was here with you the whole time.

"Ah, finally! I've been waiting for you." The Riddler cooed as he looked upon you, helpless in your restraints.

With all the courage you could muster, you locked eyes with him. "What... What do you want from me?"

"Just one final riddle, my love. I promise."

Your eyes shot open wide, stuttering out a barely formed series of sounds. His... His love?

Before you could even process the previous sentence, he continued. "What is the fabric of your shirt made of?"

The fabric of your shirt? What the hell? You could barely even remember where you had bought the thing, let alone what it was made of! What were shirts usually made of? Cotton? Polyester? A mix of both-

As you feverishly wracked your brain for an answer, The Riddler used that distraction to swiftly move in, swooping down to your sitting position to press his lips against yours. A gloved hand rose to cup your cheek, a thumb stroking softly at your jawline. He hummed into the kiss, pressing even deeper into it, before pulling away.

Edward chuckled at the shocked look on your face, grinning wide ad he gave you the answer.

"One hundred percent boyfriend material."

Incel! Shinsou x F! Reader Part 4

I still wanted to have a bit of the Sports Festival just to clear up a few things. The next half of this will be surrounding the after math of sports Festival, meaning normal day to day life, or as normal as it can get when you go to a prestigious school like UA.

"You've been inside my mind. And I can't seem to shut my eyes. She haunts me in the colour red. And I can't get you out of my head" - (Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Johnny Goth)

Part 3: Incel!Shinsou x F!Reader (2/2)

Part 5: Incel!Shinsou x F! Reader

The cold was never a problem for Shinsou, it was more comforting than the heat. To have warmth suggests that you’re safe and right now that’s far from what he feels. He's never felt safe, even when his dad would hold him in his arms and tell him bedtime stories as a child, even when his Aunt Kayama and Uncle Yamada would buy him stuff animals, specifically cats, to keep the nightmares away when his dad was at the hospital working overtime. He felt warmth in the necessity sense but never in the form of a want. His dad always said that he needed to learn to distinguish what a "want" and a "need" was, to his little 6 year old head, these things were one and the same. Wasn't he wrong.

He didn’t see you but he heard you. This was the only interaction he had pulled from you since his fuck up and he isn’t sure if you did it out of pity. Oh well, it’s not like he’ll speak to you since you’re so adamant in avoiding him. He’s not going to look for you today at least, he’s still to embarrassed to want to deal with anyone. Shinsou was so distracted with his own thoughts he didn't hear footsteps coming towards him.

“Hey, can we talk for a bit Shinsou?” Midoriya walked slowly toward Shinsou's form on the ground. He lowers himself to then throw his whole weight to the side in order to sit down. The trail of blood coming out of his nose still fresh and actively dripping with a red river following it.

“What do you want, Midoriya?” Shinsou isn’t up for an argument or trash talk right now. Why couldn't he just leave him alone?

"I wanted to say...that its not my place to speak about what happened between you and y/n. But you're both my friends and want what's best for the both you. You're clearly not fine, so if you ever need to speak to anyone, you can count on me." It was impossible to hate Midoriya, especially when he was considerate of others. Here he was, still bleeding from his nose and yet comforting and willing to listen to him. What a jerk.

"How did you even know that something happened between us?" Shinsou honestly expects him to say that you told him, he kind of deserves to be misplaced again by his own friends after everything.

"Oh, she didn't say anything to me, i promise. It was actually Kacchan who told me." That didn't land well with him. It makes it sound like you trusted the blonde fu- no, no, stop. It made it sound like you trusted the blonde...guy with the situation between you and him. Shinsou isn't angry but he does feel weird. Why would you trust Bakugo, especially Bakugo?

"And how did he find out?"

"Not sure, but he's been vocal about how he doesn't really like you since then. I think its best if you two stay away from each other." Shinsou agrees, staying away from Bakugo would keep him safe but also let him figure out what to do when it comes to fixing his non existing friendship with you.

"Yeah, i'll stay away from h-"

"Im not talking about Bakugo." Midoriya's face and welcoming presence shifted suddenly. He's said it before and he'll say it again, Midoriya is blessed. Blessed with the ability to shift tones so quickly and smoothly. To think the sweet little (not so little anymore) Midoriya was the same person standing in front of him looking like he'll challenge you into a fight and would win. God he was scary, Shinsou couldn't help but shudder a bit.

"Then who-"

"Y/n, i'm talking about y/n. Don't try to "fix" anything with her. You might have noticed already but she doesn't really show up to classes anymore and its going to affect her grades eventually. Please leave her alone."

"I understand but i-"

"Then if you understand you'll leave her alone and let her move on at her own pace. Don't push your presence on to her. She'll deal with you when she can." With that Midoriya doesn't let Shinsou talk and gets up from his place on the ground.

"Welp, i have to go to the Wellness Center, see yeah later Shinsou!" He dusted himself off and walks away with a endearing smile on his face. Yeah, Midoriya was scary.

Shinsou didn't necessarily know what he was going to do. He didn't have to stick around to watch the the final rounds of the last game, so he decided to walk back to his locker, get his wallet and walk around the food stands surrounding the Colosseum. He just needed a distraction from having cried to himself after his match and get rid of the lingering embarrassment that clung to him.

As he walked around, people would turn and stare at him as he went about his business. Some people would complement him, others would make rude comments, he understands fully. He doesn't blame anyone for the comments they make. Constructive criticism is great, criticism isn't really but it's still a comment that he can keep in mind incase it holds some value. Overall, he was enjoying his time, he saw Midoriya's fight with Todoroki and all he can say was "Shit, he recked my ass by throwing me over his shoulder and i thought that was bad. Todoroki's at a whole other level of terrifying with those combat skills he has.", and he also got to get his hands on some mochi that was being sold at one of the stands. It had multiple different flavors but also came in animal designs, naturally he bought as many cat designed ones for himself and his dad.

Walking back to the Colosseum was pleasant, the weather was nice, the people were great, everything was right for once. Shinsou turned his head to face the big screens on top of the massive arched doorway. He saw the faces of the winners and as the camera panned over the cheering crowd. He smiled at just how happy everyone looked, then the camera panned over the classes. You where standing up cheering and yelling out in support for the winners. You looked so happy. Why where you happy? Why couldn't he be the same? He's bitter again, he's misplacing his anger. He needs to leave before he fucks up even more, before he has another outburst.

Once off campus, Shinsou walked to the convenient store that was on his way home. He's greeted by the cashier and goes to the back of the store to grab a large sub for his dad plus a box of canned cold coffees for the both of them. He knows the feeling in his chest is shame, he will admit that, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to get rid of it. He heads to the counter and lets he cashier scan his items.

"It's nice to see you after the festival, how was it? Did you meet any company reps?" The cashier was a friendly guy a year above him from a school in the area. Always smiling, always kind. Everything Shinsou wasn't and still isn't.

"It was pretty good, ah, i did get to see some reps but they're not going to focus on anyone that isn't in the Art course or STEM."

"Aww man, that sucks. Well, you definitely left an impression, at least on the public! The entire time i was on the edge of my seat! I couldn't believe that was you, the guy thats always brooding while that girl friend of yours is all cheers and support."

"Don't- It-Stop! Its not like that!" Shinosu's cheeks don't flush but the top of his ears do, a beautiful and shy pink that slowly starts to burn hot.

"Sorry, man. No need to get tense. I meant your girl-friend. You know, girl who is a friend. Maybe more woman since she's an adult and im calling you man, but i also call her man even though she's not, well i don't know if she identifies as a man, or maybe she's fluid gender wise. No, wait! I asked her the first time because i didn't know and she said she goes by she. So yeah, i'm right. But it would totally be ok if that wasn't the case because as long as the person is cool and nice it doesn't matter-" This guy goes on and on, tripping over his own words of support and indetification. Shinsou thinks it's cute but also heavily grateful that the cashier is now focused on something other than his relationship with you. Even when he's not in school he still lives with your presence. He leaves the money on the counter, takes his stuff, and leaves for home.

Once there, he puts everything in the fridge, including the cat mochi he bought, and heads up to his room. He showers, takes a moment to put on deodorant, and goes to sit at his desk.

"I don't understand why you invest so much time online but can't bother to have a normal interaction with me that isn't you insulting my person. I'm here to work on the project you ass. I exist you know?" You looked annoyed at the purple headed man. He's been doing something on his computer for the majority of the time you've been here, not even bothering to ask if you wanted a glass of water. Not that you would take it if he offered, you're always on high alert when around him and you dob't have plans to change that any time soon.

"I don't have to tell you shit, if you want to leave you can."

"Wow, ok bitch, guess i'll leave and take my notes too." You're not about to deal with a man child, you're already stressing over you're own part of the project and its unfair that he thinks he can waste your time like this while he plays around on his computer. You get up and pack your things by throwing them into your bag, with that you head to his door.

Shinsou hears you moving around but doesn't do anything about it. You're probably just moving stuff around or something. Theres no way you're going to leave- shit, you're leaving! He shoots up from his desk and trips on his way towards you. He grabs your arm as a way to get you to stop but if anything it makes you tense up and turn quickly to look at him.

"Don't touch me!" He doesn't understand why the sound of your voice being so panicked makes him feel panic, and stressed (maybe a bit concerned?). He lets go immediately once he makes eye contact with you, the fear that oozes from your eyes and slips to run down your cheek makes his breathing stunt. He doesn't say anything, moron, instead letting you go to give you your space. You take this as a way to escape, quickly running out of his house and walking quickly once you're outside. Shinsou doesn't sleep that night, not like he does most nights, but this time its more because of you. The fear you showed as well as the vulnerability, it has his head spinning. He didn't enjoy it, the look, the feeling. You two had managed to make progress in your relationship, this feels like a step back and a really negative step back. Will you come back? Will you drop him as a project partner? He doesn't know. If he wasn't so proud,( more stubborn then anything) he would have apologized the next day in class. Instead, he sits down at his desk and watches you periodically through the day. He doesn't ask and he doesn't speak. You two don't go back to his house but to the library during lunch.

Shinsou's desk is no longer cluttered with empty cans and dirty plates. It's clean, just like the rest of his room. Tomorrow will be a new day, maybe he'll see you in class. Probably not, but it's still good to think positively.

The day after, he walks onto campus with anxiety creeping on his shoulders. He lashed out on Midoriya on live television in front of hundreds of people. In front of his classmates who he deals with on a day to day bases. He quickly makes his way inside and briskly walks towards his homeroom class. The moment he opens the door everyones eyes are on him, no one moves or even says anything, they just stare. He gets inside and sits down at his desk putting his head down, he doesn't want anyone interacting with him.

"Hey man, you were great yesterday!"

"Yeah, you looked so cool out there especially with your fight with Midoriya. You really showed them that even General studies can be packed with talent!" Slowly his classmates came up to him to congratulate him on his performance at the Sports Festival. Amongst those people you stood in the back watching as Shinsou rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. You slowly make your way through the small crowd and finally making it to the front.

"Congrats, Shinsou. You did pretty good out there. Hopefully it'll be enough for a transfer." You two lock eyes and you give him a little smile that you use for strangers. Thats what you two are now, strangers. You've doubted everything in the friendship you two had, maybe it was never a friendship to begin with and you were to stupid to figure that out, who knows. With that you walk away from him and allow your other classmates to swarm him with complements.

Shinsou held his breath as you spoke. Your sweet voice graced him for the second time in almost weeks of not hearing it and your gaze, your eyes, finally connect with his. His heart flutters a bit, his heartbeat skipping as you pay attention to him. This is what he wanted, what he craved.

Yet he was slow, he didn't get enough time to reply to your comment. And so you left. But this time he was left with your nice words. No venom and no emptiness. You gave him sincere praise and oh boy was he basking in it. He was going to fix things, he promises.

Still surrounded the Sports Festival but we got out and now are working towards a new arc. Next time we have a new opportunity for you both to interact and truly see what Shinsou's art is like.

(Some of the theater stuff won't be fully correct so please forgive me. I'm mostly going off of what my classmates and friends have told me theater is like and mostly the shows I've watched and have been part of. My stuff mostly focuses on animation and drawings so again i'm sorry if i'm not fully correct on some things.)

as i know Nothing: what are "-pilled" words? what does it mean for a word to end in "-pilled?"

ever heard of “taking the red pill”? it comes from a scene in the Matrix (1999) where the main character either has to choose going back to lazily and mindlessly living in a simulation (the blue pill) or awakening to the truth of his affair and fight to live in the real world (the red pill). in the early 2010′s being “redpilled” came to associate the user with “A small fundamentalist internet subculture of angry, thirsty, mostly white, conservative males who blame all their romantic and social failures on women.” (quote from an urban dictionary entry by user DigitalArtery on July 15, 2015) Not to mention the love affair with eugenics, libertarianism, transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc. etc. and working out (cuz it made them feel more alpha or whatever). here’s the knowyourmeme entry for it.many were loudly atheist. im sure you can guess that being bluepilled meant being a tumblr sjw communist or a normie or whatever outgroup theyve put non-incels in. remember those memes where redditors wore fedoras and were men’s rights activists and campaigned for gamergate and stuff? that was essentially the main subculture this was tied to. redpill-ers were one of the many prototypes for today’s alt-right incel culture.fun fact: the founder of the r/RedPill subreddit was none other than Republican New Hampshire state representative Robert Fisher! imagine that.

that whole pro-white conservative straight men, anti-everything else bundle of values was widely treasured by the citizens of 4chan, of course. the politics of someone who was redpilled on 4chan was not centered on reddit’s championed libertarianism but were utterly fascist, “alt-right” values. being redpilled came to mean seeing the “truth” of the world through that alt-right lens along with all those other values mentioned above (which one could argue are the same thing, i guess). the last few years saw these alt-right 4chan redpill memers coming into the public eye where they’ve since been comfortably buying guns, working out, harassing twitter people, and crafting pink wojack memes when the stock market crashes.

as for how -pilled is used in general, it’s sort of like this: Xpilled means “to realize the truth about X.” sometimes that X is only abstractly related, like in “blackpilled” or “whitepilled” where the colors are representing different responses to a nihilistic wordview. a lot of tumblr people will ironically and nonsensically use the -pilled suffix with random words to poke fun at the incels that use it seriously. well, incels use it “ironically” but they really do mean it. they dont want you to know they mean it but they do. today “redpilled” is sometimes found in the phrase “based and redpilled” which is used in praising a usually controversial statement. ive only seen that used ironically because i am surrounded by well-meaning tumblr jokesters and funnymen. (or am i?)

but yeah! thats the history and social context of it as far as i know.

IMPOSTER- PART TWO

summery ❤︎ Nobody has any quirks and are stuck on a ship like among us

pairings ❤︎ Imposter!Dabi x Reader

content warnings ❤︎ major character death

| prev. |

you sobbed into dabi's chest as hawks and ingeniumu covered thirteens body with a sheet, everyone looking over, some with tears, and some with just a blank look, like they were still processing it.

it was silent for a long time before ingeniumu cleared his throat and looked up, everyone seeing the ghost of tears in his eyes, "we have to call h-headquarters," his voice cracked but he stood tall, he would make a great captain one day, even with his pushover attitude.

you were crowded in the cafeteria, a computer resting on the table with headquarters on the line.

"im sorry to say this but you have an imposter."

you shook your head, you refused to believe it, how could these people, your FRIENDS, who you've lived with for a year, how could they be imposters?

though you shouldnt be surprised, the league has been gaining members, rarely any ship didnt have at least ONE imposter, some even having as much as three, you just thought you guys were the exception.

"twice, hawks, you searched thirteens body correct?" a voice came through the screen.

"yes sir," hawks quietly muttered.

"was everything in place?"

"he didnt have the vent key."

the vent key, really easy to pass through, was originally made for people to quickly go from room to rooms, but after the rise of imposters who started using it to sneak up on people, only one person was allowed to use it per day.

the voice cursed, "very well." a sigh could be heard, "well you know the drill," you did, you just didnt like it, "if you suspect someone, send them out and let them die," you gulped.

you didnt know if you could do that, even knowing that someone here murdered thirteen, you learned to care for each of them, even weirdo itchy snatch tomura. you didnt know if you could just send them into space to suffocate. even the thought made you sick.

"until then, we'll need you to finish your tasks fast, we'll have you home by the end of the day, which means the imposter will probably try to kill faster today. watch out." with that a beep was heard, signaling that you were disconnected.

a grim silence filled the room.

hawks finally spoke up, "which one of you assholes did it?"

dabi glared at the taller man, "fuck you dude, how do we know you didnt do it?"

hawks took a step closer, "bold accusations from someone who seems to hate everyone!"

"why would I kill one of the only people I actually like in this shithole?"

"because he had the vent key dumbass!"

"hey!" twice yelled.

hawks glowered at him, "oh yeah, how could we forget twice here? you found the body right? meaning you were the last one to see him? why DID you decide to check on him huh?"

"why would I come to you guys then?!"

"i dunno, to throw off suspicion maybe?"

you finally snapped "stop it!" everyone's heads shot towards you, "thirteen is dead," you choked out, "and I know thay we're all upset but we just have to finish today's tasks and then we're back home, okay?"

everyone stared, until deku started nodding, "y-yeah! just today's tasks left! then we'll go home and catch the imposter and we'll be fine!"

"what makes you so sure we'll catch him once we get home idiot?"

deku stared up confusingly at kaachan, "dont we have cameras?"

ingeniumu looked at his friend "obviously deku but whatre you getting at?"

"our cameras have memory sticks," shoto spoke up quietly, "when they're connected into one of headquarters machines, you can access all of what it caught,"

deku nodded rapidly, "exactly!"

your eyes lit up, "deku your a genius!" you grabbed his head and gave him a big smooch on the forehead, leaving him a red and stuttering mess.

dabi tsk'ed, "c'mere,' he grabbed you hand and pulled you towards him, wrapping you hands around you and resting his head on your shoulder.

you rolled your eyes playfully at his jealous nature.

"fine. we finish our task but if another person is found dead we're booting someone off." with that, hawks stormed off.

you tried not to go too harsh on him, you knew hawks looked up to thirteen, and beneath that cocky demeanor, he really was soft.

knowing that though, you couldnt help but feel some fear and resentment.

fear because you didnt think you could kill off one of your own and resentment because you knew hawks would make you do exactly that.

"we should have a plan," ingeniumu speaks up, "4 groups of two who continue on and do their tasks, and I think twice should be on security, just incase the imposter attacks again," everyone nods.

"i'll go with wonder," dabi states, already grabbing your hand,

"dont you think you'll get distracted with...other things?" tomura smirks, dabi clenching your hand in his.

"fuck. off."

"oo feisty~"

dabi glares, "yknow you dont really seem to care much that thirteens dead!"

tomura's eyes flash a dangerous color and he leans forward.

"the FUCK did you just say?"

"you heard me you fucking incel,"

"stop!" ingeniumu yells, "tomura is right, you guys do get quite distracted, wonder is with hawks, dabi your with shoto. ill go with tomura and that leaves deku and kaachan, with twice on security. let's go!"

dabi grumbles but goes with his brother as you lightly kiss him on the cheek and go with hawks.

you cant help but think about how amazing that kid is gonna be when hes older as a captain of his own ship.

you and hawks head off, both of you checking your list and stopping by rooms, the other waiting as they finish their task and repeating, until hawks sighed.

"how are you dating that asshole?"

you laugh, "hes not too bad once he likes you,"

"and what? he just doesn't like me?"

"exactly."

"what if he didnt like thirteen?" your smile drops instantly.

"hawks..."

"I'm just saying!"

"well STOP saying! I know dabi and he wouldnt betray me like that, so whatever accusations you have against MY boyfriend, I dont wanna here it," you scowl as you check your notebook, and started heading forward, "c'mon. I have to do wires in electrical."

hawks stayed quiet through the walk, as you stormed forward, wanting to get as much away from him as possible without ACTUALLY losing him. if you were being honest you were scared of going off alone.

as you walked in electrical you instantly went towards the wires, not noticing hawks standing in the doorway,

"wonder?"

"yes hawks?" you snap.

"I just saw someone vent." you pause and turn around.

"where and who?!"

"I dont know! I just saw the vent close when we walked in here and since Thirteen had the key before he died, that means that only the imposter can vent!"

"fuck! why would they vent though?!"

hawks paused. "maybe they killed someone again."

tears filled your eyes as you started searching the dark room, almost tripping over something, you only briefly looked up but you choked back a sob.

it was a foot.

"hawks!"

he came running towards you from behind the wall and saw the foot, gulping as he turned on the flashlight.

there say ingeniumu, with his throat slashed.

you couldnt hold back the cry that left your throat as hawks pulled you in for a hug, mostly to hide his own tears.

"what's going on in here?" you heard dabi's voice and you lifted you head to see him and shoto.

he looked mad but when hawks gestured with his flashlight towards the body, the brief flash letting both of the boys see, dabi understood.

"c'mere baby," he grabbed you quickly and held you tight as you sobbed into his chest, dabi looked up at his brother, "shoto can you call a meeting?" he asked softly. you assumed shoto nodded because there were no other words spoken.

there you all sat again, in cafeteria.

you were sniffling as dabi played with your hair, you holding shoto close as he leaned into you, still in shock of seeing his friend's lifeless corpse like that.

deku stood tall and didnt bother to hide the tears streaming down his face and even kaachan was caught sniffling a bit.

twice sat quietly in the corner, with his elbows on his knees.

hawks though, was red in the face from anger. and the victim of his anger was none other than tomura.

"you were teamed up with him fuckface!"

tomura simply shrugged, "I got bored and wanted to check on twice, see if he was alive,"

"well he is! but your partner fucking isnt!" hawks jammed his finger against the other mans chest, "and I think YOURE the cause!"

tomura raised his eyebrows, "I was with twice, right twice?" he did a 180 to stare hard at twice who looked up slightly and slowly nodded. that seemed to please tomura though as he turned back around, "see?"

"that doesnt mean shit! you were supposed to be with him!"

"but I wasnt."

"but you WERE! that's why the kid is dead!"

"I say we vote." shoto's voice was muffled by your neck and dabi's chest, where he was currently crammed in, but it was still intelligible.

you raise your head and wipe a few stray tears, "I think that's smart sho,"

you all nod and murmur in agreement.

"fine then. let's vote." hawks glares at tomura one last time, "who says skip?"

tomura, twice and shoto raise their hands.

"i dont think theres enough evidence." shoto explains and you nod, quietly telling him that theres nothing wrong with his belief.

hawks has a slight triumph look on his face, "who says that tomura is a fucking psychopath who likes to murder children!"

"murder a child. thirteen is practically twice my age" tomura corrects, "and besides I didn't do it."

hawks rolls his eyes, "whatever, everyone just vote."

you, dabi, hawks, deku and kaachan raise your hand, making you guys the winner.

"perfect." hawks drags tomura over to the ejecting room, usually used for heavier garbage that didnt fit in the disposal.

as you all surrounding the glass wall that separated you and tomura you cried a bit more.

sure you hated this dude but you still KNEW him!

"anything left to say sicko?" hawks glared at the smiling tomura.

"maybe you arent as much of a bird brain as I thought hawks. good job, you win," he does a slight bow like this was a performance before hawks pulls the lever, tomura's body flying out before hawks closed it again.

"he admitted to it." deku stated simply.

"yeah."

dont wanna make this ask long bc i am tired and dont have the energy to be a well spoken (?) person rn but it probably will be long anyways, so sorry!! but like. as somebody who has hyperfixated on both idubbbz and schlatt (along with a plethora of other problematic content creators, i really know how to fuckn pick em!!) they absolutely foster a dogshit community, at least outside of platforms like tumblr, where like. you cant really avoid fandom culture like you can on twitter or ig, if that makes sense. on here, if you wanna post about your favorite youtuber, whether you tag it or not, other fans will likely see and if you say some bad shit, you will likely get called on it, whereas on ig basically only your followers will see it even if you use a hashtag and on twitter its like if you arent in a subtwt/fandom then you basically dont interact with any subtwt at all unless its an accident, ya know?

so like. i think what im trying to say here is that while ive met a lot of fans of both these creators, especially schlatt, who are great people as far as i can tell, i am also specifically on the fandom side of things and as soon as i step out of that space i realize that a lot of people who watch them are not actually minorities like me and my mutuals who can catch on to satire or who watch their more behind the scenes stuff where you can see them act like a decent person or even call out people for the things they usually joke about which just. fucking sucks. it sucks that, as much as i do believe schlatt is actually a good person (and sort of idubbbz, although i dont really watch him much anymore for a plethora of reasons, mostly related to the fact that i cant stand his jokes anymore even if he is playing a character as he's said before), he also keeps doing terrible fucking things and im really glad his actual friends have been calling him on it recently, especially after that jackbox video (which is a whole other thing on its own bc it literally seemed like nobody wanted to be there basically the entire video?? like as somebody who watched all the jackbox videos before that one, it was really fucking off in that call and the jokes were next level fucking upsetting), but sometimes it's just kinda like. exhausting. bc his community is already fucking bad now, you cant undo accidentally fostering a community of fucking racist homophobes who dont get that you're playing a character, unless you kinda drop off and build a whole new community from that, which would be stupid to do at this point in his career. not really sure where i was going with this tbh, but i thought i would chime in on this discussion as a viewer of mainly schlatt, but also a past idubbbz viewer who is basically a seasoned fucking vet at dealing with shitty fanbases because of him and many other dumb youtube white boys

(also, note on that anisa thing: ian's main fanbase was definitely pissed just bc she does sex work and a lot of them are too fucking young or just too fucking dense i guess to clock the fact that he's putting on an act bc, like i said before, they either dont watch his behind the scenes content, or they do and they kinda just miss those moments between still trying to entertain where he gets genuine. that being said, a lot of people outside of his fanbase were also pissy bc anisa is a less than spectacular lady if you really do your research on her, kind of a bad person but it's not something a lot of people know about, especially since one of the few videos made on it was by fucking creepshow art)

sorry for the rant again, i feel like i do this every other week now and i apologize, you just seem to have the best discourse and i enjoy partaking <3 hope you have a good rest of your day/night/whatever time you're reading this!

—🦷

Thank you for the input (don't mind the rant !) and I hope you have a good rest of your day too <3 For post length, I'll answer under the cut :)

Yeah, I get what you mean (I think ahdsufsd). Fandom as a concept is pretty... I don't even know how to describe it, but it's the kind of thing that I feel like white male Redditors would think of as pussy shit, y'know? Like the Ricegum gang isn't a fucking "fandom" they're a... well, a fandom, but they're not gonna admit to that. So when you step outside of a community like Tumblr (the queerest place on the internet TM) you come into contact with the faces of the fandom you're dealing with and oftentimes they're a lot less like you than you might've thought from the similar interest. It's like going to a Weezer concert and realizing you're surrounded by incels (this is a JOKE).

Satire's a rough topic because some people don't think it should exist at all. Like any words that can be directly interpreted as bigoted or problematic should not be uttered. I disagree with that, I think it's one of the most interesting forms of both social commentary and comedy, but I do see the problem. There are people who watched Filthy Frank (to take an example from that other anon) and didn't know or care what the point of his actions were (I don't know what they were tbh - I never watched him, but it sounds like he's a pretty decent dude) and instead read his jokes as-is. There are thousands upon thousands of people who aren't gonna get satire and that's a problem because if they're already bigoted they're gonna see people like Schlatt and iDubbz and whoever else as truly validating.

(Largely unrelated but yo, is iDubbz still going? Are the views alright? Is the adsense popping? Has he just kept going with Content Cops? I haven't heard about him since the girlfriend thing dropped.)

"you cant undo accidentally fostering a community of fucking racist homophobes who dont get that you're playing a character, unless you kinda drop off and build a whole new community from that"

I think this is what's pertinent when it comes to discussing Schlatt. After the Jackbox video (for me at least, he might've been there before) he put himself at a crossroads. If he'd apologized, said "sorry, I took it too far, that was a mistake" - yeah, plenty of people wouldn't have forgiven him and plenty of bigoted fans of his would've said that the apology was just to placate the snowflakes on Twitter, but to the sort of in-between people it would've shown that he's able to recognize and reconcile his mistakes. He could've transitioned into content that's A) actually good (when I say that the video was bad I don't just mean in terms of racism, I mean it straight up was not entertaining) and B) less "edgy" for the sake of. I wouldn't expect him to go uwu squeaky clean, but he's already reeled in the bad people, so if he really wanted to foster a good, progressive audience, he has to do something significant to show that.

But he didn't.

Maybe for the sake of his career, maybe because he likes those bigoted fans, maybe because he just doesn't get it - I don't know. I don't think we'll ever know. I spoke earlier about doing what is right over what is easy and in the case of Schlatt it just feels like he really did take the easy way out. Whoever he is in his personal life doesn't change how he's perceived online and the kinds of people that are idolizing him for it.

(And yeah I saw the video on Anisa when I Googled her to check if they were still dating, but then I saw who it was made by and I was like oh well whatever avhfdfkj)

#this is kind of rambly but oh well #angel answers #🦷 anon #discourse #negative #cc critical #idk how to tag this stuff just telae jsfkbg #long post

ok slept 17 hours so here's dreams

1. enter the down universe & kidnap a child for a good cause 2. i go back to prague but not really 3. weird sleeping feeling 4. genshin impact real im in it 5. weird neighbors & i go back to the down universe 6. incel calls anime protagonist racial slurs

1- some kind of alternate/below world, entered by dying? going through the trash? it picked up from where a different dream left off, top down rpg game, we were looking for a prophet or something & had a choice of 4 small cities to start at. the first place we went to there were just 2 small children who asked me to fix their teddy bears at the big capital city. second area there was a kid & his mother who was not very nice to him so we (my sister & I) were like fuck looking for the prophet we're taking care of this kid. as we stole him (he went with us eagerly) the island/house his evil mother lived on disintegrated & we thought she drowned. she didn't drown though unfortunately. we went to the main city & it was like a big open air market with tons of people _ the kid was like wow! this is so cool! we saw the mother searching for her son though & we headed deeper inland to some kind of restaurant crowded tried to lose her. it had red orange walls & was dimly lit kind of like a fancy italian place. we tried to escape out the back but I saw the mother about to follow where my sister & the kid went. she kind of looked like angela's mom from carole & tuesday up close. I decided to interrupt instead & be like "hello ma'am I'm so sorry to bother you but do you know where the bathroom is?" it was in the opposite direction of where my sister & the kid went so she led me over there. I was gonna text my sister from the bathroom "distracted the mom, i'll catch up just keep getting away" but the bathroom door had a big window in there & the mom (now transformed into a furry fsr) kept coming inside & staring at me, so I had to ask a waiter to make her leave.but restaurant waiters kept staring at me through the window instead so I wasn't able to text my sister. I did eventually reunite with her at the end of the day.

2- I was able to go back to prague for another 3 months & I was super excited about it. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to reread the dark tower series at like 3am instead, but I accidentally skipped books 2 & 3. I went upstairs to get them & then got in an argument with my mom & there were also goblins upstairs, but generally friendly? when I woke up from this dream I was upset bc I was really convinced I was gonna go back there.

3- every time I woke up I was still half asleep & I felt like I was surrounded with sketches of myself sleeping in different positions, colored in varying depending on what dream I had & where I was lying in my bed. I remember I rolled over bc I wasn't comfy & that put me in a dream that was barely sketched out. it made my throat itchy instead.

4- I was exploring the genshin impact world but it was kind of a theme park put together instead? first I was zhongli trying to slide down a waterfall, but I forgot I was zhongli & turned into myself. there were coat hooks hidden in the side of the waterfall for some reason. my sister was also there talking to a lady who was like a park ranger for the genshin impact area, & I decided to play in the mud instead. park ranger lady was like "do you have no friends lol" & I was like ??? my sister is literally right there & I LIKE playing in the mud. it was nighttime also. I mentioned the coat hooks to her & she laughed & was just like "yea

5- at my mom's house. my sister, my mom, & a few of my mom's side relatives decided to talk a walk around the block after the sun went down. all the blues & yellows of sky & streetlight were super intense. I remember I'd done this before & we got lots of prank calls so I was telling my sister about it. about 3/4 of the way through our neighbors called & said "ur dad died" & my sister started to get really worried but I was like "I've been through this before it's not real dw" & anyway we got home. nobody was there so we went to our neighbor's house. there was a big piece of cheese on the driveway for some reason, so we went in. the neighbors were having a birthda party for my dad & my dad was there eating cake. my sister & I were pissed off bc we had already planned on making a cake for our dad for his bday (& we are! strawberry cheesecake) & instead he just goes & eats chocolate caramel key like cheese cake (which sounded nasty) without thinking of all our effort instead. neighbor had two kids who were my sister & I's ages & they kept harassing us until we went "fuck it. have a good time at your birthday party with your neighbors dad" & went home. after we got home the neighbors kids did something that sent us back to the sunken world from the first dream, except we weren't in control of that world anymore - no longer top down navigation, we were just fuckin thrust into fantasy jungle swamp area with red vines & purple water & blue grass & etc. we weren't allowed to escape & escape was up through these pipes. this was all part of neighbor father's plan, though - he had hypnotized the rest of the family bc he was in love with my mom so this was all a scheme to get at her. he couldn't hypnotize her for whatever reason but he took everyone else away & pretended he was working hard to find us. some stuff happened. offscene, some animal spy agency sent their best assassin her name was angelica & she looked like a sneasel that an animated movie wanted to be female (long lashes, boobs & an hourglass figure etc) to go kill someone, some other animal. anyway we figured out where to go back up into the real world, but we needed to have a certain amount of "layers" to us that turnedus the color of cranberry juice. we had found & killed both the neighbors kids, they were secondary antagonists & also kind of like weird creatures, & they gave us the vital layers. we prepared to go up the tubes. cut back to angelica, whose mom was a squirrel lik scratt's girlfriend except with comically huge boobs in a stupid little dress. there was also a squirrel(?) some kind of weird fucking animal but doritos shaped like a HUNK who was disguised as a girl wearing a wmlong yellow wig & pink dress. this hunk animal was a serial killer for women with huge titties & almost killed angelica's mom but she got off the elevator at the right moment to go have a meeting with the spy leader. this hunk guy was angelica's target. anyway the way this worked was that the mom & "spy leader" talked out in person for cameras watching, but angelica & the actual spy leader were in the back, having the real discussion. angelica decided to screw me & my sister over in her attempt to assassinate hunk guy.

6- not a real dream shift but the scene changed again enough to warrant it. cut back to the courtyard area in front of the escape pipes. suddenly me & my sister are carol & tuesday & that weird stalker lesbian is there singing a "song" about how never trust your idols & etc. she's also friends with a character who looks like a caricature of a reddit incel. tuesday decides to take a stand & tell cybelle "jesus fucking christ get over yourself you're so goddamn weird I'm not your idol I'm not some kind of angel I'm literally just a person" & then the incel starts calling carole racial slurs, so she's like "I'm sick of this. what if I called you a cracker" & then STABBED HIM???? & then we all ran away & my sister & I were just there like can we leave please I need to save my mom from this weird british dad who we referred to the whole time as "mr. hippodimetron"

then I woke up & it was 6pm :-/ my genshin resin schedule will not recover from this

I'm gonna make a vent post here because I cannot actually talk to the people that love me about these things lest they no longer love me so im gonna post this here for them to read (personal shit, possibly tmi and mildly nsfw under the cut)

So my seasonal depression has been hitting me pretty bad this year (probably because I moved to a new house that is amazing in every regard except for the pollen producing plants surrounding it) and like every year a lot of it centers around the fact that I haven't experienced anything. Im turning 28 this year and I've never dated, had sex, or even been kissed. Things people half my age have done. And I know part of it is my step-dads weird fixation on me getting a girlfriend when I was a teen and him telling me it was weird to people that I never did (with some nice homophobia thrown in for good measure) but it still makes me feel like a loser. But I feel like I cant like openly talk about it because im afraid ill sound like an incel or something but its not that I'm feeled like I'm owed sex or love, I just feel like I'm a loser because I've never had any of that. And on top of all that I've been questioning whether I even want romantic love at all. I've been wondering recently if I might be aro or maybe greyro but can't separate how I feel about that from my weird emotional trauma. Sorry if this is sorta rambley I've just been trying to get my feelings out for a while and didn't know how to address it so its kinda all coming out at once. Also sorry for posting this to my main instead of my nsfw but I just want my close friends to know if I come across kinda weird its not because im trying to be its just my weird headspace rn but also I can't talk to people directly because this would make me emotionally vulnerable in a 1 on 1 setting and I'd rather die. This way I can vent knowing no one would read this mess of a thought process but I can pretend it has a purpose. Anyways sorry for being bad at this and just rambling. If you've read this far I love you and I'm sorry

im not saying this in an incel way i promise pls dont make it into that..but do u know how fucked up it makes u feel to be in ur 20s and never ever having one single person express any sort of romantic feelings/thoughts towards u.

Like literally everything u grow up w/ is surrounded by the idea of love/couples/romance, and its shown as accessible and almost as if its some sort of right of passage of being a human being lmao.

going from a kid thinking that thats just a normal step in the progression of life to being 24 and so romantically stunted that u dont even see urself as cabable of receiving love is not something u learn abt ever and i just wish someone would have warned me.

#the last time someone outwardly 'had a crush on me' was kindergarten and im p sure it wa s a joke anyways bc i was the new kid #once when someone was drunk they said they wanted to kiss me but it was a capital f Friend who was in a relationship at the time lmao #its not even the fact that i hate my body #bc i know damn well u can hate ur self and still find happiness in a relationship #idk man these weird times consistently have me feeling crazy like time isnt real and its kinda scary #also this isnt for sympathy its just word vomit pls dont hate i promise im not out here tyin to fish for compliments #just typin at 5 am

Steph Talks For Way Too Long About Sollux’s Harry Potter House

I havent been able to stop thinking or talking about this topic for like 60+ hours

first wanna say that it’s really hard to interpret how people are sorted because JK Rowling is apparently shitty at writing. So people seem to have wildly different opinions on why people are in the houses they’re in because they view the houses and their qualifications differently.

I’ve also never read a harry potter book and havent watched a movie for like 5+ years maybe so i had to talk to like 3-4 people who went though huge harry potter phases and we talked for over 3 hours cumulatively for me to make up my mind.

I think it’s really important to say that because Sollux isn’t really a main character, there’s a lot we have to make guesses on. Hussie didn’t make a big sheet full of Sollux’s Dreams and Ambitions, Morals and Beliefs, so we have to fill in a lot of blanks on what we think those are based on a few things. Who he talks to, and associates himself with and what he does

The point being we don’t have a lot to work with.

It’s also pretty important to say that Sollux puts on a LOT of fronts and facades. He’s only truly mean and cruel to people he doesn’t like or care about Plus Karkat. He plays Fake Mean a lot, and if you dig even a centimeter under it, we see time and time again that he’s just pretending and does actually give many shits.

Sollux is also really passive in most things that he does. He doesn’t really question anyone’s authority or make a point to fight something out very often. The only time we ever see him resort to action to solve his problems are when dealing with Eridan. And even then, the first time we ever see them talk, it’s Eridan walking up to him and Feferi privately having a conversation and Sollux telling his gf to “make him go away.” And then after Eridan doesn’t go away, we see him resort to fighting. His PQ arc also has him antagonize Eridan and then drop a building on him, so like, yeah. Usually, when presented with conflict, Sollux either removes himself from the situation quickly, or if he’s unable to do so, makes it extremely clear that he doesn’t want to engage. In most cases, Sollux is by himself, sitting alone and not making attempts to talk to anyone else. It’s totally possible that he’s more social at other times and we only see him when he’s at his worst, but we dont see that so we can’t really speculate much on it. Point being, he’s very passive and self contained/oriented.

What i really want to put emphasis on is the people he associates with. His main friends we see him talk to willingly or at least show fondness for are Aradia, Feferi, Kanaya, Terezi, and Karkat. Three of these are considered main characters, or are at least given character arcs to some extent. These are the good guys. The guys who at least try to do good, and show compassion, and care about others. The characters we see him either avoid quietly, avoid loudly or vocally hate and commit violence against are the rest of the characters. Namely Vriska, Gamzee and Eridan. (im kinda gonna gloss over Vriska because his distaste/hatred/unpleasantness towards her doesn’t have to be a moral statement on his part. It’s pretty easy to assume that anyone with his past to her would have a similar if not identical stand point) These are characters that actively do bad things, they murder and harm others at worst and are gross nasty incels at best. And even the best case in that scenario is still blabberingly racist and, treats sollux and the people he cares about like shit. Sollux doesn’t associate with people that the comic have established are villains, or at least do things that are pretty unambiguously wrong or evil.

In Sollux’s pesterquest, Kanaya tells MSPA reader than when The Thing with Aradia first happened, Sollux refused contact with Kanaya because she didn’t cut off Vriska. He was upset at her for being associated with someone who traumatized him. This is very telling of sollux’s personality and his relationship with his friends, and it’s a side we don’t see of Sollux any other time in the comic or in his PQ arc. It’s only when she tells him that she doesn’t cut Vriska off due to romantic feelings for her does Sollux change his mind. He doesn’t bring up Vriska, Aradia, his grief or his trauma at any point while at his visit with her that we see. He doesn’t appear mad or reluctant to be there, he makes jokes, smiles, and reminisces memories with her fondly, even almost sleeps over at her place for the day. It’s like he’s completely forgotten about being upset at her at all, or is at least choosing not to bring it up out of respect for her.

Again, it’s unclear how much time has passed. But when you start his arc, the reason youre talking to him is because he’s been reclusive out of grief. He hasn’t been talking to people lately and his friends are worried about him. So clearly enough time has passed for him to be okay with seeing Kanaya, as that’s his sole purpose for leaving his hive that day at all, but not enough time for him to be fully recovered.

This moment in his arc showcases his loyalty that he has for Kanaya, and possibly his other friends. He seemed quick to forgive her, or at least bury whatever resentment he may have been harboring. One may say that his cold shoulder to Kanaya would be indicative of a lack of a loyalty trait at all, that if he were loyal to her, he wouldn’t be ready to possible end his relationship with her over this. But i kind of view it as a sort of bluff? Like Kanaya essentially told him that his trauma did not at all change the way she feels about her, Kanaya still has a crush on Vriska after hearing about what she did to one of her good friends. To some, this may have been a slap to the face, an entire dismissal of his trauma in it’s entirety. But instead, he sees it as a valid reason for not cutting her off, he shrugs it off. I feel like if he were serious about not wanting to be friends with Kanaya while she was talking to someone who hurt him greatly, her crush wouldn’t have been an excuse.

I also wanna touch on his loyalty to Aradia very quickly because you dont need me to tell you that he cares about her. Once again for like the third time, we have to make guesses on how much time has passed between events. From the time Aradia dies on Alternia, becomes a ghost with an entirely new personality, a robot with another personality, and then finally her alive Godtier self, Sollux’s feelings for her are very consistent. He seems to not really care for the ghost or robot versions of her, he even sits a chair away from her during Openbound on the meteor, and doesn’t talk to her much, is very cold towards her, and even tells her that she’s incapable of feeling when she tries to tell him goodbye when she explodes (it’s also worth noting he cries after this, which i think is the first and only time we see him do this). When Aradia comes back to the meteor, alive and herself again, Sollux immediately leaves the rest of his friends to go hang out with her. Even with Karkat begging him to stay, he just peaces out, without even really thinking about it. We have to assume that if it’s not written in the dialogue, it isn’t being said. So he doesn’t discuss wanting to leave with Aradia or with anyone else. He just decides he’s leaving, and then does. And he stays by her side for almost the rest of the time we see him. He ditches later for other reasons, but don’t worry, they’re back together by the time Collide is happening.

Point being, for the most part, he sticks by his friends unless they’re doing something he disagrees with morally. If he’s not down for what’s happening, he’s not down for sticking around. He even seems to be better friends with Nepeta now that this version of her isn’t really hanging out with Equius that much, someone Sollux would no doubt not get along with for many reasons.

Some of my friends pointed out that him sticking by his morals so strongly is something a Slytherin would do, coupled with the fact that he’s kind of a dick or something idk that much about Slytherins. But I think Huffliepuff is very much about comradery. We can tell a lot about Sollux based on who he surrounds himself with and what he does and doesn’t participate in. He doesn’t participate in trolling humans, he doesn’t participate in helping Vriska do something he doesn’t feel good about doing, he doesn’t participate in any of the relationship melodrama happening around him. But he helps his friends. He helps Kanaya open the viewfinder to see and talk to Rose, he helps Kanaya do little errands in his PQ route, he helps Terezi find out who Dave is, and he sacrifices himself to save the remainder of his group (which btw only contains the people I’ve previously stated he associates with minus feferi not that that means anything i just thought it was kind of fun to point out). I mean, he got better but its the thought that counts.

Someone could make a point that “If Sollux is so loyal, why didn’t he mourn Feferi even a little bit when he found out she was dead?” And yeah, that’s a good point to bring up, and i don’t really have anything to say about it other than….maybe he knew by this point that death doesn’t really mean anything? Maybe his euphoria of finally being lifting of the voices was happening at the same time? And also that he predicted he’d go blind like a million pages ago and now he can finally stop worrying about it? Is he happy that he’s talking to Terezi and right now that’s more important? It’s hard to tell. Sollux doesn’t really explain himself apart from “missing being her matesprite” when in Erisolsprite form talking to Fefetasprite form. It’s hard to tell what their relationship was at the time, or what his feelings truly were immediately afterward. I kinda think it was the foremost of those explanations, he probably knew that she’d come back as a ghost, or something?

Anyway, those are all the reasons i can think of at the moment for why I think Sollux would be Hufflepuff. A lot of his personality revolves around his friends, who he considers friends and who he doesn’t consider friends. Send me asks, message me, and do that shit if you wanna talk more, but i probably won’t have a whole lot to say lmao. Or ill just restate a lot of what i said here.

Props for getting this far. For the record, if Sollux for some reason was unable to be in Hufflepuff, I’d probably put him 50/50 Ravenclaw or Slytherin. I really don’t think he’s a Gryfindor because as I understand it, that house is very much about being courageous, and standing up for yourself and i went off for way to long about how he’s a little weenie man who does nothing mostly.

12 ‘Unpopular’ Viddy Game Opinions

I’ve seen this topic floating around a lot, but didn’t think I had enough ‘unpopular but maybe not’ opinions about games to make a post. Turns out I do! So if you see this and I say something blasphemous, remember it’s just my opinion and my personal experiences with the games I list. Hope you enjoy or hey, maybe even agree with some of this!

Note: Can’t stress enough. This is just me. Also, spoilers under the cut!

12. The opening of Kingdom Hearts II isn’t as terrible as everyone says

Okay, so it’s not brilliant, but at the same time, I don’t think it’s the worst. For those not in the know, KH2′s opening is a basically a massive slog where you play as a character you don’t know or care about with seemingly no real link to the events of the previous game. The general consensus is that there’s some interesting stuff in here, but it’s buried among endless dialogue that really doesn’t mean much. And they’re right, but I really think there’s some great stuff here that people tend to gloss over. The music and the motif of Twilight Town is atmospheric, there’s some genuinely intriguing plot elements that are woven into Roxas’ story and believe it or not, the stuff that happens here is intrinsic to the rest of the game. So yeah, it drags on a little, but I don’t think KH2 would be miles better without this opening.

11. I loved Breath of the Wild’s final boss

One of the problems I see talked about with Breath of the Wild is that the boss fights are fairly mediocre, especially the very last one, Dark Beast Ganon. And I couldn’t disagree more. I think every boss in the game is wonderfully crafted, intense, challenging and great for testing you on what you’ve learned throughout the game by encouraging you to make creative use of your slate powers and the flurry rush technique. And while Mr. Pig Man at the end here is sort of easy and short, it serves as a brilliantly epic finale to damn near perfect game. While the difficulty is mostly gone after the mammoth fight with Calamity Ganon, it’s still just as intense as you frantically fire off arrows into the massive beast in front of you. Plus, the design of this thing is one of the best looking monsters in the game, so I really don’t understand the dislike for this ending.

10. I really like Crash of the Titans

Okay, so maybe childhood nostalgia has something to do with this pick, but every Crash fan I’m aware of seems to hate this game. But I don’t really know where the hate comes from! I played the PS2 version of this and I thought it was a genuinely fun 3D platformer with a variety of locations, good visuals, well-designed boss battles and even a vague story you can sort of follow! The game’s main gameplay feature is also brilliantly integrated, as using Aku Aku to possess various monsters throughout the game keeps everything interesting. One thing I will say though, that tiger dude you have to fight about halfway through is the most annoying thing I’ve ever had to endure in a game.

9. Life Is Strange: Before the Storm is BAD

I loved Life Is Strange when it first dropped, so I was beyond excited when they announced a prequel from Chloe’s perspective. But I really think they dropped the ball and they dropped it hard. But everyone else seems to adore this game! For me, this wasn’t a touch on the original. For a start, they dropped out one of the main mechanics of the first game, the time travel, which they then replaced with a much less interesting ‘Backtalk’ feature, which was then only used about twice throughout the game. Instead of interesting, developed characters reacting to genuinely dangerous or heartfelt situations, it felt to me like a bunch of one-dimensional teenagers who are edgy for the sake of being edgy. Chloe spends the majority of the game being a dick to her mother and bunking off class to spend time with Rachel, who she has literally known for like a day and their sudden relationship drops out of nowhere. Not that I didn’t enjoy the emotional moments of their relationship, it just didn’t feel like it stemmed from anywhere, unlike Max and Chloe from the first game. And the game’s attempts at villains were also rubbish compared to the first, with Damien (random scary knife guy who doesn’t really tie into the plot that much) and Eliot (who doesn’t appear for the whole game and suddenly goes full incel on Chloe when she breaks into Rachel’s house). Yeah I think you can tell I had some problems with this one.

8. Dishonored: Death of the Outsider was also a hot mess

I LOVE the Dishonored series. The first game and its DLCs are amazing, the second game was arguably even better. And then this happened. In this one, you play as Billie Lurk, a character I love, and Daud comes back, a character I also love. But both of them are incredibly badly written and it doesn’t feel like there’s any development to them or even much reason for them to do what they’re doing. This entry took the mystery surrounding the Outsider and basically did a big poo on it, giving us the revelation that he was apparently HUMAN this whole time. I think that was the nail in the coffin that made me sort of think this was a bit rubbish. While the combat and side missions were as brilliant as ever, the level designs felt less creative than other entries in the series and lacked variety or colour, all the side characters were entirely forgettable and to wrap it all up, they killed Daud offscreen. Out of nowhere, they just killed him, mentioned it offhand in a cutscene and that was that. If you like this game, fair enough, but it kind of baffles me that more people don’t see this in the game.

7. Mario Galaxy 2 is good. It’s just sort of good

Some people cite this as being one of the best 3D platformers of all time, and that’s fair enough, but I just kind of see this one as ‘good’. Sure, it has a good, satisfying control scheme for the most part, the level design is creative and the bosses and puzzles are pretty standard for a Mario title, but still enjoyable. However, sometimes, the floaty physics and weird knockback effect from jumping into walls led to quite a lot of unfair deaths, especially if I’d been punished for messing up already by losing a life, only to then immediately be punished again by falling into the void. Plus, I found Yoshi near impossible to control at some points with the motion controls. So yeah, this one is genuinely enjoyable, but I don’t think I’d personally put it with the best of all time.

6. I LOVE Dragon Quest IX TO DEATH

This is a game in a legendary franchise that consistently almost always see ranked at the very bottom of the pile in the series. But I really don’t understand how or why. Okay so your protagonist and party are basically silent and don’t have a lot of character, but I don’t see this as a reason to totally write off the game! The side characters, villains and story are all amazing and well-developed, the world is huge, colourful and interesting, the monsters are brilliantly creative and Dragon Quest’s signature lame sense of humour is gratefully carried through the whole game. The music is always brilliant and atmospheric and the bosses are just as memorable as each character you meet. What was everyone’s problem?? This is genuinely one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played and if you haven’t had a chance to pick it up, it is so, so worth it.

5. Sonic Adventure is a broken mess

So before I kick this one off, I’m not someone who hates Sonic and I’m not here to slate the whole franchise, but considering this game is often considered to be one of the best in the series, I thought it was definitely worth addressing. When I first played this, I literally couldn’t believe this was made in 1998, AFTER Mario 64 and yet it’s so broken! The physics and control scheme are totally wonky and hard to control, the unending amount of glitches make a fair amount of the stages almost unplayable, the voice acting and facial animation is cringey and oddly broken and yet, this was all on the Dreamcast. The most powerful console of the time. And I don’t think I even need to mention how boring some of the later stages get, with Big the Cat’s fishing section being the main offender. I can’t vouch for Adventure 2 as I haven’t had a chance to play yet, but I really hope it isn’t like this.

4. Dragon Age Origins is the best Dragon Age

Dragon Age has always been a popular RPG series, but I think it properly shot to fame once Inquisition dropped in 2014. And don’t get me wrong, I liked Inquisition! The world was colourful and expansive and the characters were fairly memorable, but I still think the best experience you can get is in the series’ first entry, Origins. While it’s pretty easy to see that it’s slightly dated considering it’s ten years old now, the best characters and story in the series I think is here. Each companion you recruit is varied and developed and the story wraps up brilliantly in the end with each companion and army you meet playing a different role in the final battle. Plus, I kind of can’t forgive Inquisition for making Leliana lose her sense of humour and making her kinda boring.

3. Oblivion is better than Skyrim

Okay so I’m not sure exactly how unpopular this is, but I just thought Oblivion was miles better than Skyrim ended up being. Just to clear it up, I still love Skyrim and I thought it built on the series’ combat system and variety of enemies really well and still provided an enjoyable experience. But Oblivion feels like more of an adventure you feel at home in. The story is dense and full of twists and turns. The soundtrack has some of the most atmospheric music I’ve ever heard, the world is full of bright colours, each city is vastly different and has its own lore and I found some of this to be absent from Skyrim. I’d go into more detail, but I think the simple fact is that Oblivion had so much more I liked than Skyrim.

2. I don’t think The Witcher III is all that amazing (in some regards)

This by no means says that I don’t like the game, because I do, but I think it has more flaws than people let on. Now, don’t get me wrong, a lot of the stuff people praise about this game is true, the quests are in-depth and masterfully crafted, the characters, especially Geralt, are extremely memorable. In fact, Geralt is one of my favourite game protagonists. But most of the problems I had were in terms of the gameplay. The combat, while fast-paced and satisfying, can sometimes feel a little finicky, so a lot of precision is needed. However, I felt that the world itself didn’t particularly interest me and the music is often ambient but outside of combat, isn’t anything special. Mostly though, the leveling system I found to be a bit wonky. I did absolutely everything I could in the first area of the game; all the side quests, treasure hunts, killed a whole bunch of monsters etc. And then I arrive in the second area and find I’m too underleveled to do literally anything. The majority of the quests have too high a level cap, a lot of the monsters kill me very quickly. And because the bulk of EXP farming is in the quests, I’m sort of stuck in an endless loop of constantly not being strong enough to do anything. On top of that, all my equipment keeps breaking and I’m finding that repair kits are extremely few and far between and that makes me even WEAKER. It’s something I’m gonna need to persevere with I think, but hey, this is just my experience with it.

1. Ocarina of Time, as amazing as it is, may have overstayed its welcome as best game of all time

I reckon this might be the most controversial, so it’s number 1. Let me preface this by saying I really like Ocarina and I agree that it was innovative for the RPG genre at the time. There’s a hell of a lot in this game that we have to thank for the games we have today. But considering how far the gaming industry has come since then and the sheer amount of high quality games we’ve been getting year after year, is still fair to call this the best game ever? When more recent games have taken what Ocarina started and built upon it? Games like Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption II, God of War all gave us expansive, beautiful worlds and a story you can really get stuck into. And all the time, more and more games of this caliber are coming out. So yes, of course Ocarina of Time deserves a place in the hall of fame, it was revolutionary and still holds up really well today! I just can’t help but think there have been plenty of games since then, as flawed as some of them may be, that have improved upon the formula tenfold since Ocarina’s release.

Thanks for reading if you got this far! Just to reiterate, these are all just my opinions and my experiences with the games I mentioned, so pls don’t attack me. Got any viddy game opinions you think are sort of not popular? Drop them down below if you feel like it!
