There's Something About This Light Cone That Has Been Driving Me Wild And Clown Bonkers For A Good While

i sit in a room blindfolded. scientists hold up cards with various characters without telling me what the character is or indicating that the card exists, and i respond with "smash" or "pass". my answers are used to write a program in pure binary which ends up compiling into a perfect copy of team fortress 2

carrying all the groceries up so my wife doesnt have to

a warm meal

Some random headcanons because I'm bored and I should really post more often.

Pierro: genuinely does not like the vast majority of the other Harbingers. He tries his best to get along with them but dear god half of them cannot shut the fuck up to save their life

Capitano: Likes hot cocoa and puts like a weird amount of effort into making them. Like you know those extremely long tiktok recepies for (Insert country name)-hot cocoa that take hours but taste the same as regular hot cocoa? Yeah, Capitano has made all of them at some point and he swears theres a difference

Dottore: addicted to sugar. Addicted to a lot of things, actually. Younger segments get sugar rush. Youngest segment is an ipad-kid. Gets distracted extremely easily. I have too many headcanons about this guy.

Columbina: can sleep ANYWHERE. Girl goes skydiving and sleeps in the sky. Rollercoaster? You mean a moving bed?

Arlecchino: bad at math no i wont explain myself. Tried making candy herself once and it went horribly wrong.

Clervie: scared of clowns. terrified even.

Crucabena: Likes playing rhythm games. Her children are reenacting the hungergames and she's in the background just playing pjsk or osu or smth. Also collects Pokemon cards, loves them more than her children. Very good at masking, but has autism (like every other harbinger). Nr. 1 enabler for the other Harbingers, but especially Dottore. Used to bite people as a child. Was, in general, the most feral child you can imagine. Dottore calls her Crucy and she despises it.

Pulcinella: hates hot temperatures. Cannot stand anything above 15° Celsius

Scaramouche: sometimes forgets that time is in fact passing. It's a result of his time in the Abyss, but also connected to his immortality. Speaking of which, he has no idea how old he actually is, he just knows he was created after the cataclysm.

Sandrone: goes nonverbal when overwhelmed. Also has a one-sided rivalry going with Dottore.

Signora: i have so many german-aunt headcanons about her - positives of having characters inspired by your culture i guess. Lots of my headcankns abt her are inspired by my own aunts lol. Can do tricks with a bottle of wine. Used to have a lil space where she raised chicken and other animals back in Mondstadt, but didn't keep them after Rostams death

Pantalone: weird relationship with dottore also translates into weird relationship with Scaramouche. Both of them have seen each other in..lets say compromising positions. They have a pact to never ever speak of it. Also very jealous of Scaramouche and Crucabena (despite the latter being dead) due to their relationships with Dottore. Extremely posessive.

Childe: has once thrown a snowball at Pierro. Was very lucky that no one figured out it was him. Somewhat scared of Dottore. No one ever told him which Harbinger joined when, so he doesnt know how old anyone is (minus Arlecchino)

Mr Elvis werent you dead

I got better

congratulations!

Last post im making about this. this shit is tiring to see "aventurine isn't a real romani person, we dont know for sure if thats what hoyoverse intended! how could they have known that a well known slur is actually a slur? this is fiction, dont get upset by fiction. he ain't real a real person anyways, so what hoyo is doing doesn't hurt anyone. touch grass" yes, its a fictional story in hsr, and yes aventurine isn't a real person - no ones saying he is real or is actually romani (ive seen some claim that 2nd one but thats probs just their own headcanons, its not smth ive seen more then like 2 people admit to believing). but he is Clearly a Stand-in for such peoples. please actually read for once in your lives, and don't cherry pick/skim: the word itself Isn't fictional, the name of his planet/people is a literal irl slur against romani people, easy to find from a quick google search. and the genoside aventurine's people face is similar to the ones the romani went through. even if he "wasn't intended" to be a "1 to 1" rep for romani, you CAN'T deny that hoyo knew what they were doing. no way they didnt know the name they used as a slur when trying to find words for their oppressed/enslaved race with stuff like that. that info ain't hidden or some sort of new thing - its been going on and being recorded for a VERY long time. and even IF they weren't aware of that words' negative origins, they should still be held accountable. their an extremely rich company, and thus have all sorts of resources - we know they have internet access, not like any of the writers couldn't have fact checked. they just didn't want to, because they don't care. hoyoverse ain't gonna fuck you/praise you for defending them, companys don't care about or understand fandom/their customers. aventurine's story was written well, and hell - i even almost cried at some parts and had a lot of fun, but the usage of the slur and making it the most prominent word in that story arc/the most important part of avenrturines life even now that he's free (i.e.: sparkle using the slur at him casually without repercussions while she knew his past), was not good and isn't justifiable. y'all send death threats and drive random people off of the platform for minor stuff when they are just young and aspiring creators & thus of course make mistakes when making their own stories and accidentally making them parallel closely to irl history, but y'all are willing to excuse a well established company (who have a history of white-ifying poc cultures for "the aesthetic" and "good banner sales" with nations and characters and have publicly admitted it without shame), with many writers/developers who are full grown adults when they do the exact same thing - or even worse - with evidence to back up that they arent innocent uwu babies who "just didn't know any better"? give me a fucking break.

"they wouldn't make it 100% romani based cuz they are worried about getting info wrong" if they actually cared about that, they wouldn't have chosen a romani slur, or just any slur, as the primary name of his people/planet. "cherry picking" isn't an excuse. sumeru was nearly completely whiteified despite being based on poc cultures, with the only poc npcs being 1 blacksmith, all erimite enemies you have to KIll for missions, the story quest, and white character level up materals. they also only have 2 characters whos skintones aren't quarts, and one isn't even out yet/is quite late to the sumeru story as a whole. hell, they even very shamelessly lighten the skin of their dark characters in official art, even when theres no excusable "light source" to pin blame on. theres a reason why people are upset. it was something many poc fans picked up on rather fast as soon as that word showed up on screen. i know that 98% of the fanbase is white, probably all the people who will ever see this post are some sort of white (i know for a fact the only people ive seen make posts on this topic trying to defense the slur's usage in universe admited to be white at the top of their rants. legit a "im white, but-" nonstop.) but that doesn't mean anything if the majority is shortsighted and shitty. majoriy isn't always right. just cuz your white, thats no excuse to be ignorant and refuse to take 5 seconds to google search something in order to understand the context behind such social outcry. people who are defending shit like this make me shamed to be white (well, many things do that - but not the point here).

i know for a fact hoyoverse will never change this, its making them money and giving them attention - so why would they ?(any publicity is seen as "good" publicity by many businesses), and will probs keep doing stuff like this from other cultures. something i came to terms with, but just because ive accepted that reality - that doesn't mean im gonna be happy about it, or praise it like some supremacist dipshits are doing (luckily their few, but they still exist and that's an issue). im not gonna shame anyone who likes hoyo's games, as i myself am a fan of hsr and used to be super huge into genshin, but you shouldn't defend a money hungry corporation who will disregard you at every turn with no remorse.

since the new TMNT show is coming soon, i'd like to remind you all that Nickelodeon publicly supports Israel in its genodice against the Palestinian people. Furthermore, Nickelodeon is owned by Paramount, which donated 1M$ to Israel, all while spreading their disgusting zionist propaganda.

i don't give a fuck about how excited you are for the show, i don't give a fuck about your indecisiveness, i don't give a fuck if you don't think it will make any difference. it does, it has.

Boycott Israel and those that give it power.

(oh, and if you wanna watch the fucking show, do the grownup thing and pirate it.)

some tmnt sketchez i did today >3<
