the girl on the left could be way gother than you you can't tell just by looking at her. there's no uniform for being goth you just have to like the music. maybe shes vibing to goth music every day in her room. maybe she does have goth clothes and she just didn't have the energy to get gothed up today. or maybe she's a baby bat who hasn't learned how to do the makeup yet. don't be judgemental. and girl on the right, where's YOUR official goth license? that's what i thought. plus you have a wolf cut and you're wearing a hello kitty shirt and blush on your cheeks. you're not exactly traddy mctradgoth either are you. you don't really have a leg to stand on here. you're being mean and elitist when you could be holding hands and kissing.

#goth #if you don't have pointy ears and white eyes you're a POSER!!!!

[extremelyputridfishbreath]

so like. im not gonna beat around the bush- ARE WE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS. ARE WE??

*SLAMS THIS ON THE TABLE*

I AM CONVINCED THIS MAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING! THINK ABOUT IT:

The hover discs Aunt Arctic mentions automatically despawn after you use them to place the detectors/transmitters in both episodes they appear in. With the knowledge that Gary does not test his inventions often, to the point where Aunt Arctic feels the need to warn you...is that intentional feature(keep in mind you use them to access higher up areas like the ceiling of the Sea Caves)...or a bug because he did not test them? Keep in mind the discs disappear near-immediately once you're done placing objects, so you CAN end up free-falling to the ground afterwards from several feet above in the air.

Knowing this, what else is this man hiding? Sure, we know that the Auto-Warbler 3000 works...but is that because this is an invention he personally tested, or in spite of being untested? Did the Jet Tube's avoidance systems have glitches because of an unforeseen bug Gary happened to run into...or is this something he made, gave to Rookie and didn't test for whatever reason?

Keeping this tidbit in mind, is Gary knocking down Herbert's defenses because he is SO smart, or did he just get lucky? Is he better at programming than making inventions? Or does he actually test his coding skills more than his inventions? If so, why?

IF this 'brilliant penguin' was intended to be Gary (which I'm fairly certain it is but hey, CPI closed down before it's time so who knows for sure?)

Is the reason the Party Sub ended up sitting in the Sea Caves related to his tendency to not regularly test his inventions? Or was it simply because it broke while he was testing it?

Because he does not test things as rigorously as his Club Penguin counterpart (who, as we know makes up to 3000 versions of his inventions before they are considered done, and asides from some examples like Mascbot's being used at their 'near-perfect' 2999th iteration or prototypes like the Electromagnet 1000 are rarely used until then)... does Club Penguin Island Gary name his inventions with the '3000' at the end because they have been tested, or for aesthetic reasons?

#club penguin island #club penguin #gary the gadget guy #as an aside: im thinking of cpi more since i picked it back up and played through most of the adventures again #considering changing gin to an /amur/ leopard for cpi because it feels like a change that would've been made tbh #although sonata would still be an arctic fox...just drawn with a summer coat instead. i dont think id change penelope into a different #owl though...maybe? idk depends if i see any compelling swaps for her cpi counterpart #real talk i cannot believe people were dragging gary prime (as in original game gary) for the test sled when it's informed consent that #you're using a prototype when this motherfucker (affectionate) IS LETTING YOU RUN AROUND WITH INVENTIONS OF DUBIOUS QUALITY #i say this as someone with adhd when i say this man has adhd <3 working on so many projects and so many dont get finished #although tbf to ME <3 at least ive been chipping away at my lore documents lately. i mean i still struggle but yk #and yk be slacking off writing down stuff so i dont forgor isnt like. me handing out inventions that probably arent safe like candy <3 #i could be writing down important stuff right now :') oh well * points and laugh at cpi!gary * THIS MAN IS A POSER

[because-its-eurovision]

I fully get the anxiety of feeling like you don’t deserve to go to a show. It comes with the whole competetive fandom stuff.

Honestly, as someone who has performed on a lot of stages with varying kinds of crowds, the most important thing isn’t if you’re the biggest fan or if you know the lyrics or some choreography or bring gifts. The thing that is the most valuable is that you go to the show to have a good time. That’s all the artists are generally looking for. That people enjoy their music, enjoy the show, are excited to be there.

Some people may be disappointed that they don’t get a ticket, sure. But it’s not you taking that ticket away from them. Not everyone can have everything. Sometime people don’t get concert tickets. That is not your fault for buying. It is a thing that happens when everyone has the right to buy concert tickets instead of them being raffeled off or gifted. If the show was just for the biggest fans, tickets would be give out as competition prices, not to the person who buys them.

And there is no right way to enjoy the show. Some superfans never learn lyrics because they don’t particularly care. Some people buy tickets to go see random artists just for the experience. Some people just love to give gifts and find that to be the best way of interacting. Your way of doing it is just as valid as all that. You don’t have to earn any right to be there, that is what the tickets are for.

And honestly, you’d be surprised by the number of people who have never even heard of an artist or band who just show up for the show because they had a day off and it could be fun. It’s not about deserving to be there. It’s about wanting to go and getting the chance to actually do that.

I don’t know if this little pep talk eases your mind at all, but I hope it does. Learning to let go of the competetive mindset and attitude when it comes to regular life stuff is a chore and a half. I just want you to know that I would love for you to go to the show.

Thank you for reaching out. I really appreciate it ❤

#ik it's mostly in my head #I've always felt like I'm never good enough since early childhood #I think band fandoms have partly always been like this #about going to every show and learning all the lyrics and 'you are wearing their merch so name all the albums' or you are a poser #ig and twitter and maybe tiktok as well have just made it worse because now I can see it all the time #like there were people queuing for Tavastia at 6 am today already #and there are people who travel across the continent for the shows #and I do not have those kinds of possibilities because I can't afford it and I have a day job #which makes be both feel like a bad person because I can't sacrifice everything to be a fan #but also makes me reconsider if I'm too old to be a fan and I'm just embarassing myself by going to any shows at all ever #because clearly band fandoms are only meant for teens and people in their early twenties who can skip school and camp outside the venue #also i made the mistake of going to twitter and saw a thread about 'so what gifts have you guys made for the boys this time?' #and I was so shook because I had no idea that you're supposed to make gifts to give for the artists at EVERY show #and I can't make anything #I have no skills or money #I can't paint or sew or make crafts #so is it like I'm a lesser person because I only paid for the ticket #you see where I'm coming from? #asks

I know it's easy to say omg today's punk only do it for the style and claim to be anti establishment but don't actually stand for anything but like. there were ppl like that in the 70s too 😭

Of course Shen Yuan is a poser of the first grade, but reading vol. 4 (specifically the chapter with Shang Qinghua, Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu going on a mission together) really makes it clear that his predecessor, Shen Jiu, was also a massive poser. Keeping the streak alive <3

#honestly this increases my affection for him #shen jiu #poser prime #who put this joker in charge of a child #svsss #'you're holding your book upside down'

Can we see another instance of Most Pathetic Boy Vincent being the most pathetic & desperate whumper ever? Pretty please? 😟😟😟 Also you're AMAZING at this absurdly specific brand of whump, the unwilling cuddling scene will forever live rent free in my head

afsfdfd yes we can absolutely have this. i have been microwaving an idea for days and this is the perfect place to put it. also hehe thank you <3 i've grown a fondess for writing characters (but particularly whumpers) that are just like. so bad at their role. like literally what are you doing. anyway

This isn't the first gathering that Vincent has dragged Clary to, but it's certainly the most annoying one. Vincent seems to be getting more irritated by the second. Why does he even go if he doesn't want to see any of these people? At least no-one has fed from her this time. If she was more creative she'd think of a better metaphor about it than 'being drunk without the part where it's fun'.

"Nikolai Dezhnyov!" Vincent says suddenly, pulling Clary over towards another vampire. "It's nice to see you again."

Clary seems to perk up at the name.

"Mhm." Nikolai eyes him with zero interest. "Victor Maddox, was it?"

"Vincent," Vincent replies, trying not to grit his teeth. "Though last time we met you were much more fond of referring to me as a 'pathetic whelp'."

Nikolai's lips turn up into a smile. "Yes, that sounds like something I'd say to you. And I suppose you think dragging that poor girl around with you makes you worthy of being referred to as something else?"

"I--" Vincent's grip on Clary tightens. "I'd hope so."

"What's your name?" Nikolai asks, turning to Clary.

Vincent starts to answer. "Her name is--"

"I did not ask you," Nikolai says sharply.

Clary can't help giggling at Vincent's prompt mouth-shutting. "Clary Nikitin. Nikitina."

"Nikitina?" Nikolai says, then something Vincent doesn't understand.

Clary grins and replies. Oh. They must be speaking Russian. Vincent picks at his nails. What is this feeling?

Is he feeling jealous?

That's stupid. Why would he be feeling jealous that Clary is talking to a man who called him a brat? Clary laughs, and it isn't a spiteful or mocking laugh, it's just nice, and Vincent is suddenly furious.

"Excuse us," Vincent snaps, and pulls Clary away.

"A-Ah-- da svidania!" Clary calls, and receives a smile and a wave in return.

Vincent shoves her into an empty room and up against the wall by her shoulders.

"Don't do that again," Vincent hisses.

Clary stares at him like he's an idiot. "Do what?"

Vincent doesn't have the words to actually express what he wants, but Clary seems to get it after a short silence.

"Are you mad that we were speaking Russian?" Clary says, in total disbelief.

"Yes!" Vincent growls, hitting the wall beside her head. It doesn't make him feel better when she jumps.

"Did you feel left out?" Clary mostly wants to tell him that he's being an idiot, but she doesn't. "That's... you're being unreasonable."

"You're mine," Vincent says, as though he's trying to convince himself he has some control here. "I don't like it. I should know what you're saying and doing at all times. Don't do it again."

"What, so I'm banned from speaking a language now?" Clary snaps.

Vincent slaps her, hard enough that it stings his hand for a very brief moment. "You know that's not what I meant! Don't speak to me that way!"

Clary gently touches her nose, and her fingers come away bloody. "...fine."

this one in particular is pissing me off so much because like 1. the addams are fictional characters 2. do you think gothic as in the genre of literature and film is the same as goth the subculture. be so fucking real right now

#'reading jthm was goth' yes because it was a popular comic among goths in the early 2000s #and it borrowed heavily from the subculture. the comics are full of goth characters as in traditional 90s goths who dress goth #and listen to goth music. not sure why it's being used as a counter-example here #also this person has a nana o. icon from nana like oh so you're a poser poser. #ai yazawa would hate you

[hairtusk]

it really does totally and utterly baffle me that people are so stuck in their own boring lives that any action deemed even vaguely out of the norm is *clearly* a desperate grab for clout and attention from people like them.

#it was annoying at first but now it's borderline hilarious #like. wow. you seriously can't comprehend of any way of living that isn't in the dichotomy of :: #'my way (the normal way' and 'poser' #you people live like this? so terrifyed to break for social norms that you instinctively kick out at people who do ? #what sad small boring lives you all lead. no wonder you're going fucking insane.
