My post canon HC for Princess Tutu is that after Gold Crown is restored the main cast just ends up reforming themselves through a bunch of modern music. Fakir goes from listening to MCR to switching it over to The Killers. Maybe even Paramore (something him and Rue would eventually bond over).

Meanwhile Ahiru ends up learning about Carly Rae Jepsen’s discography.

#princess tutu #ptutu #dia talks #post canon au #Mytho I have a hard time grasping because on one hand I can see him be a bland listener of Justin Timberlake or any pop milktoast singer #but on the OTHER HAND I can see him play some death metal or weirdcore shit alone in the car or in the middle of the night at 2 AM #wheres that vine of that white girl singing nonchalantly to death metal bcuz that's him #for the side character I can see Lillie also being either a Slipknot enthusiast or a Melanie Martinez stan #Pike would be into either Spice Girls or some local German pop bands like Banaroo or Tic Tac Toe #Uzura if she ends up visiting the IRL world would be absolutely into bubblegum pop - just nothing but Ch!pz and Schnappi #I bet Uzura made the bunny Cuddle song from 2008 a hit in Germany - I can see her televoting and spamming the song into number 1 #(((which fun fact actually happened they called it Kuschel song and it became a 1 hit in germany for a month straight)) #and Autor being the music snob just has EVERYTHING in his playlist #Autor is into Lady Gaga not because he stans her but because he finds her musical performance an experience (and I get it man Sheise is pog) #hes the one that starts Mytho in the music rabbithole and links him the weirdest things #Autor ends up sharing Mongolian throat chanting and him and Mytho spend 3 hours deep diving the genre #Autor would definitely have a youtube channel analysis every possible music genre

Just for a (hopefully) fun low-effort ask, what theriotype do you appreciate most that you would never design a personal sona around? For me, it's elephants, "working hooves", and basic (DnD-based) dragons. I love the shit out of other people's designs with them on both a visual and writing level, I just can't make any for me.

Either way, hope you're having a goddamn great week, you and SorrowTV have always been my favorite youtubers in your niche since I found your respective channels.

This is actually a really fun question. Cows being one? I think that I've seen a good amount of cow themed femboys, cow-girl types, or even hulking dilf types that are all pretty pog, but I could never. I used to say birds, but recently I learned during a pokemon Smash or pass stream that bird mating tactics work on me. So not sure what that means lmao. Plus recently I've started using Owlins in DND.

[decy-press]

thinking of starting a youtube channel where i do reactions to extremely broad, poetic stimuli. pogging in the thumbnail next to titles like "Reacting To The Sound Of Rain On Leaves" or "Reacting To Sacred Oneness Of Humankind"

[solarpunkani]

If you haven’t heard of crime pays but botany doesn’t on YouTube,,,I highly recommend it

I’ve heard of the channel! I’ve watched a few videos too!

Full honesty, the latin names and definitions kinda scramble my brain. He’s done a video or two in my state though so thats pog, and I cheer him on in what he does! If any fellow solarpunks haven’t watched some of his videos, go give em a shot!

#out of queue #answered asks #ani rambles #anonymous #my cringe fail brain hears a latin name and is like ‘aw fuck time to forget how to process language’

[br1ghtestlight]

i feel like when gene is older he'll make a youtube channel where he posts his music and like covers and parodies of popular songs and he gets SO popular like not internationally famous or anything but he certainly has an audience, also he does twitch streams on the weekends and ppl spam the pog emote whenever louise or tina walk into his bedroom

#specifically he gives me jon cozart vibes?? #he could be a popular makeup guru but i just dont think he has the patience for like actual makeup looks #txt #bob's burgers

[tagfer]

like yeah not to be a mondo hater but like, "SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated)" by Pannenkoek did not need a thumbnail of a white guy doing a half-pog face with big bold "HOW MANY A PRESSES??" and yet I'm sure most of you have seen it and loved it. i could actually give a ton of examples here but y'know.

so yeah i love when YouTubers do their stupid half pog pointing clickbait shit because that means I don't even have to think about it before permanently dismissing their channel. bye forever. don't even gotta watch a millisecond of your video, your vibes already told me I don't want you around.

why you would remove that ability is beyond me lmfao "what if i gave every video a fair chance" no thanks

【DEBUT STREAM】 LET ME TASTE YOUR DESIRES

PROFILE

An infamous succubus from the past who has victimized millions of both men and women into selling their soul for her benefits. She who is only known to be in tales and folklores was actually real.

HISTORY

Background

On May 25th, NIJISANJI EN has suddenly announced the upcoming debut of it's very first female solo Vtuber accompanied by a teaser featuring the new liver's design and voice.

Emmanuelle's YouTube channel was created on May 31st, and her Twitter account also created in the same day. Her first tweet was made on April 1st, 2022.

Debut

Emmanuelle made her debut on April 10, 2022 as part of a special debut program hosted on the NIJISANJI EN channel, with commentary provided by Alban Knox and Sonny Brisko from NIJISANJI EN's Noctyx. After her debut stream in her channel, Emmanuelle appeared on the main channel.

Emmanuelle's first original song, "Entice", was released shortly after the program. This song was written and produced by ChibaNyan, who previously wrote and produced Ethyria's debut song "God Sees All" and Luxiem's debut song "Hope In The Dark".

FANS AND MASCOT

Emmanuelle's fans are called "Evies"

However, Emmanuelle usually call them "Cuties" on a daily basis.

She has a smoke creature hidden in her magic ball that was made out of all the mixed souls she took. She calls it 'Lither' who is also one of her moderators.

Quotes

"My, my... how cute. I wonder if you'll be cuter after I have a little taste." - Debut Trailer

"Ara ara~"

"O-kawaii koto."

Species: Hell entity

Occupation: Succubus

• Emmanuelle is able to speak English, Nihonggo, Tagalog, German, and Man.

• She can also write and translate Latin.

Lore

Emmanuelle Nicholaides was once a human who died of sexual assault. She became a succubus after the Demon of Lust, Asmodeus, saw her potential. Humans summon her to make their dreams come true, in exchange of their souls. Emmanuelle eats off these human souls after reserved for a hundred days. Once she gobbles it up, the human body slowly dies.

Emmanuelle then met a powerful man during her peak of being a succubus. She seduced him to fall head over heels for her, before she used his connections to get herself more food. One normal day at his place, Emmanuelle was sucked into a portal while she was taking a shower. She then came to the present world without her succubus powers, but still with her beauty and prowess. She then saw a poster of a few Vtubers who's beauty can be compared to her.

Emmanuelle thought to herself that maybe she could use the media to seduce more people and get herself more food, as well as to earn money to fend off her living expenses.

Itadori's Kitchen

Summary: think of Julien Solomita's cooking vids, specifically the one where he bakes a cake w Jenna. This plus Yuuji and Fushiguro :) no romance, just reader interacting with them in a highly specific scenario.

Warnings: silly goofy times, cursing

A/N: uploaded this on AO3, but thought tumblr users might enjoy it

The red light of the camera blinks to signal the start of the recording.

“Am I in focus?”

You step towards the camera to look at the viewfinder. Itadori’s scrunched-up face shows up on the screen with the background blurred. Giving him a thumbs up, he smiles and claps his hands.

“Awesome! Thanks for agreeing to this. No one else wanted to help out.” His little frown adds to his pity party.

“Don’t sweat it. Didn’t have much else to do today. Kugisaki dipped on our movie plans to drag Maki with her to the shopping center,” you say, rolling your eyes at the memory of her reasoning being the spring sales starting and not wanting to look through the ugly garments after the first day. Itadori rummages through the drawers of the kitchenette to find whatever utensil he needs.

“Well, no need to fret! I, Itadori Yuuji, shall be your entertainment!” he declares with spatula and wooden spoon held towards the ceiling. You chuckle at his excitement as he winks at you.

“Okay, okay. So what’s on the agenda, head chef?” you ask while grabbing your phone for the list Itadori had sent you a few hours before when you agreed to help him film for his YouTube channel.

“Well, I usually have Fushiguro help me stay on track with the ideas I have lined up on that list. I try to put them in an order that makes sense.”

The said list is composed of the standard ‘film intro,’ ‘make cake,’ and ‘get friends to try’ formula most of Itadori’s videos followed. The occasional ‘fart noise’ or ‘insert meme here’ was scattered in the list. It seemed easy enough to follow.

“This is doable. So I’m just your help? Or can I talk with you?”

Looking up from your phone, you see him struggling with putting the apron over his head. You wait it out and watch him try to stick his arm through the head loop. Visible confusion washes over his face when he realizes this. He sees a flash towards him and looks at you, a grin on your face and phone in hand.

“It feels like Fushiguro never left,” Itadori sighs, trying to fix his apron.

“Oh, I’m Fushiguro now? I guess I have to act all emotionally unavailable and pretend I’m uninterested in everything, huh?” you joke.

“Ah, don’t forget making me think I’m doing something wrong by giving me very vague responses,” he says matter of factly. “You act like you don’t even watch my channel!” Itadori says like you’ve told him his chicken meatballs are awful and also spit on them. His hand clutches his chest in pretend pain.

“Excuse you, I am Chef Itadori’s number one fan!” you retort at him, pointer finger showing up in the viewfinder.

“Says who?”

“Says my damn username!”

Itadori gasps, his hands coming together and sparkles appearing in his eyes.

“Show me! Show me! Show me!”

“Okay okay! Jeez, give me a second to pull it up,” you tell him. It’s almost like trying to get an overly excited puppy to sit and stay.

“Wait! You gotta show the camera, too! As proof,” he orders, threatening you with his wooden spoon.

“Here, look. My profile name is exactly what I said.”

Itadori leans over the counter to get a better look. His eyes squint to try to see the small text. The smile on his face after seeing your username rivals the sun and the ring light set up next to him. He does a little dance and makes you show the camera the screen.

“It’s actually “Chef Itadori’s Number One Fan,” guys! Pog!” he shouts.

“I’m glad I’ve entertained you so much. Now, entertain me with your baking, Chef,” you command. “I’m gonna sit my buns in this chair and watch. I feel like I’m in Jun’s Kitchen. Let me sniff that flour, nya.”

“Okay, dry and wet go together to form the superior cake batter. A cake batter to dominate the baking industry. I am the cake boss, now,” he says to himself whilst mixing the ingredients in a bowl.

“Oh yes. Bakeries around Tokyo are trembling now that they feel the power of your batter. You’re too powerful.”

“Thank you for noticing my magnificent batter and my baking prowess. They’re both quite impressive, yes?” he asks, accidentally flinging batter on the floor when gesturing to you. “Oh.”

“Which one of us is cleaning that up before Demon gets to it?” you ask, fully knowing that it’s you who’s going to do so. Damn Fushiguro and his very adorable, yet abnormally large canine.

“Well, you’re the sous chef here. How can I, the executive chef, be responsible for such a menial mess when I’m in charge of this powerful batter, the one to dominate and destroy all cake batters.” Itadori seems to be in his own world as he finishes his statement.

“I knew it,” you deadpan, standing up to get a paper towel. Itadori dons a playful smirk, satisfied at the outcome of his actions.

The layers of cake are carefully set into the small oven. Curse Japan’s lack of full size ovens. Itadori and you laze around on the couch, waiting for the timer to ring.

“So what do we do now?” you ask, sitting with your legs on the back of the couch.

“I guess just wait. We never film the little break that’s in between the prep and the decorating.” He looks towards the ceiling with pursed lips. “Do you wanna go annoy Fushiguro to let us play with Demon?” He knows the answer before he asks. Your struggle of an attempt to swing your legs around the couch confirms it.

“Where’s the damn dog?”

“Okay, now let’s decorate!” Itadori yells while throwing his arms up.

You move the camera towards the different sprinkles and icing splayed on the counter. Somehow, Itadori convinced Fushiguro to join in the fun, on camera. How would the viewers react to the appearance of the illusive cameraman?

“Yo, you want the day off after this? I’m willing to edit,” you offer, panning the camera to the two of them shuffling about, trying to kick the other’s foot. Itadori’s head shoots up and he grins.

“Bet! I need a break after doing all the work today.”

A slap to the head knocks the smile off his face.

“And what am I?” Fushiguro asks flatly. His face holds no emotion.

“You’re the eye candy. Duh,” Itadori states like it’s the obvious, wrist flicking an offset spatula with sass to match.

“What do you think this is? A magic show?”

“Well-” another slap.

You hold back your laughs at their interactions and struggle to hold the camera still. If Kugisaki was here, it’d be even more chaotic. Itadori’s little frown tells all as he starts to ice the cake with a crumb coat of blue icing.

“I guess someone isn’t getting a piece of cake later. And it’s not my fault in the slightest,” Itadori says with lips pursed. His concentration on not ripping any cake out has his eyes squinting as if it’d help his hands.

“Like I’d want to eat it, you big baby.” Rolling his eyes at his friend’s childish antics, Fushiguro grabs an offset spatula to help smooth out the icing.

“God, I hate it when dad and dad fight,” you groan behind the camera. They both look at you, one with disappointment and the other, distress.

“Look what you’re doing! Tearing this family apart? How could you?” laments Itadori. With puppy dog eyes, he stares at Fushiguro and pouts.

“Look what you’re doing. Tearing this damn cake apart,” Fushiguro deadpans, pointing out the obvious hole that has been left by Itadori’s distracted hand.

“Ah! My cake!” You share a look with the spikey-haired man, both of you shaking your heads while Itadori tries to salvage what’s left of the spongey cake to patch the hole.

“Hey, if this cake goes sideways, we can always turn them into cakepops or whatever-balls with icing.” You slowly pan the camera to the hole to show how Itadori is trying his hardest to make it look like nothing happened.

“But that’s not what this video is for! I made a cake. How could I betray those who depend on this cake for their mental wellbeing?” He slams his hands on the countertop while exclaiming.

Barking comes from the living room, Demon clearly upset at being woken up by the chaotic pink guy on the verge of fake tears. Fushiguro looks at his roomie before starting to count.

“Oh no…” Itadori’s eyes go wide. He carefully sets the tool down and books it for the window, narrowly avoiding Fushiguro’s grasp.

“No! Not there! I just-” you yell to the flash of pink, running towards him in false hopes of stopping him.

A crash of clay sounds out from the fire escape.

“Put my plants outside.”

Your defeated face looks toward the camera, exhaling deeply with hands on hips. Demon runs to the window before slipping on the hardwood because of lack of traction. Both you and Fushiguro wince as the dog smashes into the wall before scrambling to chase Itadori once more.

“Cut the camera! Deadass!” shouts the man in the window.

gonna be a while til sunday so just wanna yap a bit first but MAN watched the new uma musume anime and it's fucked up how much these dam horses get to me, like there was some times in s1 where I cried but that was like YEARS ago so I was like "it'll be fine I'm way more powerful now they won't get me again I'm ready" and they didn't but it was awfully close NOTE: you can watch it, for free, WITH en subs (and more) on the official uma musume youtube channel

but anyway wow it's good, like really good man I know I should've expected it since it's cygames' own studio and uma is their top grossing franchise but still visuals, music, voices it's all good what I was most impressed by was the character acting tho, ofc there's still the old (but still great) details of the super emotive tails and ears, but like the close up of top road nervous hand movements or that cut at the end of ep 2, it's just so good

also I'm a big fan of both ayabe and opera so this anime is an even bigger treat for me, god it feels so good seeing them in the spotlight like this, and seeing their dedicated artists I follow on twitter pog off about it is nice too

#anyway that was basically it I think #silver rants #one of the times that tag is extra true lol

"Child pog" ~Dreamwastaken

“Where,” Oregon blinked, “Where was Dream taken?”

“Who took him?” Nevada questioned.

“He was taken? What day was he kidnapped?” Washington interrogated, “How long has it been since anyone’s seen him free?”

“Why would the kidnapper take him in the first place? What was their motive?” Nevada mused to herself.

“According to Google, Dream’s a YouTuber. A faceless one,” New Mexico discovered, “Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?”

“Yeah!” Arizona nodded, “They kidnapped this guy and are forcing him to run a YouTube channel for their own profit! Keeping him faceless so the audience won’t see he’s in a dungeon or recognize him from the Missing Person posters!”

“Pst! Orlando! They’re onto us!” Florida quietly hissed into a walkie talkie, “Take Clay into a more secure location!”

[dungeonman]

The word “passion” comes from the Latin “passus sum” (literally “I have suffered”) and originally referred to the suffering of Jesus before his crucifixion. It was later given to a genus of South American flowers, passiflora, which Spanish missionaries thought looked like Christ’s Crown of Thorns.

Some of these flowers bear a fruit called the passion fruit.

In 1971, a Maui food product consultant named Mary Soon invented a drink made of mixed juice from passion fruit, orange and guava. After its ingredients, she named it POG. The drink was promoted using giveaway cardboard bottle caps; These caps were just merchandise and never actually used on bottles of POG.

The caps, a common promotional item for Hawaiian beverage companies at the time, were used to play a game called “milk caps”. Milk caps is a Hawaiian tradition which probably evolved from the 18th century card game menko, brought to Hawaii in the 1920s at the height of Japanese immigration.

In the early 1990s, an Oahu teacher used POG caps to teach her students the game of milk caps. Her students loved it, and the game resurged in popularity, spreading all across Hawaii and later to the Lower Forty-Eight. A licensed version of the caps, called Pogs, was produced by a Canadian game company and became an iconic part of 90s pop culture.

In 2011, a livestreamer called gootecks posted a video to his YouTube channel called “Pogs Championship”, in which he wins a game of Pogs. One year earlier, he had uploaded a completely unrelated video, a blooper reel. Around 2 minutes into the blooper reel, the camera operator bumps the tripod and gootecks makes this face:

Two years later, the face was cropped and added to Twitch as a global emote, named PogChamp after the unrelated Pogs video.

Shit’s weird man
