Sorry For The Rant - Blog Posts
LITERALLY!
Like sorry she isn't going to be making the best moral decisions all of the time. She is a traumatised child whose been put underneath a bunch of stress.
I never understood why people were so angry at Poppy at the end of chapter 4.
We have to remember that she'd just been told that Ollie (someone she's known for years!) was actually The Prototype, and had just threatened her!
I interpreted her leaving us as less than a "betrayal" and more like a moment of weakness. Poppy's head was clouded with panic and fear and did what most scared kids do.
Run away.
People want a flawed female character and yet they can't even handle Poppy.
"Poppy is evil" theories here and "I wanna punt Poppy" there
So sad. Poppy is a traumatized kid who got experimented on over and over again, got contacted by the Prototype disguised as Ollie to find out every bit about her while they were both constantly being taken apart. So he could later use that against her. The Prototype lied to her, saying they would leave after The Hour of Joy, which is why she initially agreed, only to then be told after The Hour that they would stay there forever since leaving would have people know they exist. People would continue to hurt them and people would be experimented on just like they had been. And she knew he was right. She just misses her dad, Ludwig.
But because she disagreed with whatever experiments he and Harley were doing, the Prototype locks her inside that case for years where only we finally let her out.
Initially she just wants to let us leave, but after defeating two Bigger Bodies? Defeating Huggy Wuggy might have just been luck, but defeating Huggy Wuggy AND Mommy Long Legs? That's skill. So she decides we are her best bet against the Prototype.
She has decided the Prototype's way isn't the right way, but killing everyone would be better. The human orphans are important, they can still be saved. But the Prototype, she herself and any other toy needs to die so this can never happen again. She doesn't like it, but it's the only way out she sees. Otherwise, she will just continue letting toys cannibalism one another like the Prototype currently is.
But then everything goes up in flames. Suddenly everyone is dead, she only has us and Kissy. She wouldn't suspect Ollie of any potential sabotage. She has known him for over 10 years! Since before The Hour of Joy. The Prototype would never have manipulated her for that long. But he has. And he threatens her with putting her back inside a prison she cannot escape from. So she runs, because she is still a scared little girl that has been trying to put on a brave face
You can disagree with her actions, but it's not like she had no reasons to do them. All the kids we met were put through the ringer and trying to act like Poppy is some evil bitch rather than a scared little girl when the game has shown the lengths these kids go to time and time again? That's missing the point
Genuinely wondering what the FUCK wizards is on
HALF THE FUCKING SETS???? I DONT FUCKING NEED YOUR FINAL FANTASY BULLSHIT GIVE ME ACTUAL STORY AND ORIGINALITY. Like, secret lair was fine. Nobody was going to be hurt by a walking dead card drop, nobody lost anything to secret lair. In my opinion, the implementation of jurassic park into lost caverns was done great! Rarely, you'd get a collaboration card that was on theme for the set! (same thing with the brothers war thing) But with these new sets this is going to ruin the game. I think that lord of the rings and battle for baldurs gate are fine because of how much the interest overlaps, assassins creed is pushing it, but has fantasy elements that honestly line up with a lot of magic. I also want to make it clear that I'm fine with a crossover set here and there, that can be cool and interesting, but having it be a core part of the game is so fucking stupid. I'm honestly happy for the people who are getting what they want through this, magic is made so people can have fun, not just people like me, but I know that my opinion is shared by other people, and I think that it fundamentally ruins magic to have half the sets be collaborations.
Current Mood: Scared. Guilty. Nervous.
As you all know school for the most of us is either over or just finishing up which means report cards. (Yay.) Just to keep it brief, this school year has been the best for me, despite it’s ups and downs, mostly ups for me.
Now, as you guys can imagine I’m scared half to death, even, about the report cards coming out, I’ve never been homeschooled before, so it was all new to me as to many others. But that’s not the reason on why I’m scared, the reason on why I’m scared is because of missing work. Now with missing work it’s pain to get it done and then graded and updated, if your teachers use a site to do it on, which mine do. Now, I turned in all of my things before this happened, a couple of math tests, science I can’t do because the thing I use it for (flipgrid) barely worked for me half of the time, (that I expect to get a bad grade on along with Math, because maths a bitch.) and I was sick those days, it was just to make up some tests. Again, for me the virus was only in China and just seemed something like the flu as the way the news was protaling it back then and the way I saw it as well.
I stayed after school for those ‘make -up’ days, the teacher was in there and knew that I was doing the work and all, keep that in mind, anyways, I finished the math work up, placed it on his desk and left. Now, I didn’t expect him to grade it right away he has his class, my class, and another class, his class being the biggest out of the two, so whatever, right? He’ll just go into his computer and tick it off, right? Right? Now, don’t get me wrong I get that people are busy and all and I of course just pushed it off we were also getting ready for MAPS testing and stage forward testing along with getting placed in classes for high school, so you can imagine all the chaos going around, so I didn’t talk to him and I just assumed that he had them all ticket off. Again, fast forward this time being after or around spring break, I can’t remember, but we were all quartined and I then took this opportunity to see the missing work I had and you probably guessed it, the missing work from math, still missing. Did I say anything about it? Nope, cause I assumed that the site was just bugging out, (it often did that) so I just shrugged it off.
-Now to the present, I’m pretty great in school, I mostly managed to pull A’s, B’s and C’s and sometimes a D- in the process of things, mostly math. Now the thing I’m worried about is my parents. Like any parents they take this stuff seriously and with my falling out from last year, bad grades as you can guess, first time in forever, I wanted to try really hard this year and just looking at my grades now knowing that it’s gonna be the same, I’m just scared. The worse I can probably get off is a grounding and a lecture, along with summer school, which is whatever they’re just trying to help and I’m grateful for that but I know a lot of kids aren’t fournatue to have that which I think is just stupid, the abuse they get and all news flash not helping, technology isn’t always to blame, Karen and I could write and whole essay on how I think that all situation and situations are just stupid like yeah sure they failed but if you try to help or just lean in and act like you know what you’re doing, they’ll appreciate it, trust me it can go a long way for some, same goes with teachers and school staff, but listen like I said, I’m over all scared and just mad at myself and extremely guilty for letting my parents down, like I said I’ll try my best to get caught up but I doubt it’ll change.
I just need to word spew for a moment, so please forgive me those who have no idea what I’m talking about 🙏
⚠️SPOILERS BELOW, BEWARE!⚠️
If anybody seeing this knows who Bards of New York are (who can be found at this link on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@bardsofnewyork?si=eqxsWcKuSXeEb5yh check them out they are SO COOL), and saw their most recent Regolus: Dark Age session, you’ll probably have an idea of what I am freaking out about. I will be diving in with no explanation to the uninformed of this Gospel™, so buckle up those who are still reading and have never watched any of their content before.
First of all, to start with the somewhat lighter topic of the amount of shipping content we were fed, it was absolutely superb. It was so so so awesome to see Katari finally get her feelings about Synnove across to Synnove, but was the amount of angst really necessary? I still break out in near tears thinking about Synnove’s desire for simplicity, and Katari not being sure she can give that but trying her hardest. As well, if you were watching the stream live on Twitch, you may have seen in the chat someone breaking down over how Katari is unsure about her ability to love Synnove in the way Synnove wants and deserves, and Synnove unsure she can really give all that much love to anyone after Stella left (which, Stella appearing as the Phoenix at the end and landing on [I think] Synnove’s shoulder is a whole different conversation to be had, which I have had an equal number of breakdowns over in the past few days). Their relationship has just barely started and it’s made me break into ugly sobs an ungodly amount of times.
Secondly, the elephant in the room, if you have seen it. Aelys and Godsleep fusing together, to have them hold off Hareem and his army of automatons? Full on ugly sobbing frankly, I am still in denial about everyone else escaping into the Faded Realm and Aelys had to stay behind to hold the line. All for the damned beacons, which are so important but I can still be Upset™! (I’m glad Jon can take a vacation, even though Aelys losing herself and having to take the most drastic option makes me cry). This chapter went so quickly from admiring their pretty outfits and solving a centuries old murder mystery, to the ultimate sacrifice for one’s friends and loved ones. AND WHAT MAKES IT WORSE (if that’s even possible), is that Bards, on their Instagram, recently posted a story with a clip where Damien began to make a tiara/diadem for Aelys :( It literally made me want to burst into tears when I saw it, because we don’t know if Aelys will ever get said tiara/diadem that she was actually decently excited for, LET ALONE IF SHE WILL LIVE OR HAVE ENOUGH OF HERSELF LEFT TO FIND THE GOLDEN SENTINELS AGAIN!!!!
Sal is still missing (Though Sons of Üthevhenan was ✨So Good✨), we have NO CLUE where Damien was during all of this, so he could still be just right outside Disterra to see/experience the combined force of Aelys and Godsleep going against Hareem and his army, though he could also be missing or kidnapped, and we’d have no clue! Now, Katari, Synnove, JB, Valor, Theagus, and Gold are all in the Faded Realm and have to somehow find their way back to Regolus, to hopefully make it to the next Lighthouse in time to get the next beacon, but the next Lighthouse could be the same thing again, with Hareem laying in wait to take the beacon as soon as they’re done! I’m also supremely concerned about what will happen with Sentinel Frontline, and just Regolus in general with the Golden Sentinels in the Faded Realm.
This is barely brushing the surface of all that’s been swirling in my head since Wednesday, and I can’t wait until next week to see what happens next.
Jon, and the rest of Bards, if somehow you happen upon this unfiltered stream of consciousness that was this post, you guys are amazing and frankly if I could play DnD with you all even once, it would be the opportunity of a lifetime. To Jon in particular, if you somehow ever find this, have a good vacation! We in the community will miss you and Aelys very much, but we will be fine.
If you’ve made it this far and you haven’t seen anything made by Bards of New York, what are you doing? If you enjoy DnD, which given by the tags on this post you might, GO CHECK THEM OUT!!!! They are such good people, and right now is a really good time to hop on the bandwagon and start catching up to the current point in their most recent campaign, Regolus: Dark Age! They are just starting Book 3 Wednesday next week which gives you some time to watch a few episodes to get a feel of what’s going on! They have an amazing community, and it is so fun and welcoming over there I promise you will not regret it. Though maybe don’t take the route I took where I watched 29 chapters in about three weeks, with videos ranging from 3.5-7 hours long. Anyways, if you’re reading this, go watch!! And even if it’s not your thing, you’ll have tried anyways.
TL;DR: The most recent chapter of Regolus: Dark Age by Bards of New York made me cry, and feel things, and get mad. Quite a lot.
Et Fin ✨
" A bad workman always blames his tools " - Ye Olde Proverb
To paraphrase Demi Lovato, I am coming back and more honest than ever. It has been a while since I have decided to seek validation on this platform. I know, I know, what sort of self-respecting person would want attention in the toxic wastelands of the wide world web. Well, jokes on you and ... me, I guess since I do seek the coveted 5 minutes of fame. As such, I return with quite an interesting tale to astonish.
Let us turn back the clock to a time that might as well have been yesterday for some and literally a thousand years for others. It is September 19th 2017, the date when Star Trek: Discovery has premiered and when thousands of fans cried out in anguish. Some of you might wonder why is that. Well, the reality is that Alex Kurtzman really screwed the pooch with this one folks and to be honest this isn't even his first time working with the Star Trek franchise. Oh no, the guy had his hands in the creation of Star Trek Into Darkness, a lukewarm movie adaption of The Wrath of Khan. He really learned all the wrong lessons from good old J.J. Abrams and then some, considering that most fans were not really impressed with the show from the first season until the last. To be fair, Discovery had some good to it, but the bad and ugly far outweighed even Anson Mount's performance as Captain Christopher Pike in season 2 and the return to the roots of the franchise in season 4. As such, one might wonder, are all creators unable to work outside of their own headcanons or is it just some of them. To answer that question let us turn our attention to Ron Gilbert's Return to Monkey Island.
Ron Gilbert is the original creator of the first two games in the Monkey Island series and was a creative consultant for Telltale's entry into the franchise, Tales of Monkey Island. As you can see the story moved on from Ronnie's original plans over the span of three additional games of which only two bear mentioning. However, he managed to convince the media overlord Disney to let him try his hand at creating his own version of the third game that would casually reset the canon back to the where Le Chuck's Revenge left off. Over the spawn of two years, he and his team have worked in secret to create the game and in an earlier build of it, the idea was that our favourite pairing of the Elaine Marley, former Governor of the Tri-Island Area and Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, would be on the verge of breaking up after years of being blissfully married. You can imagine that the testers they brought in weren't too happy to learn that Captain Gilbert was planning on sinking their ship and they made their outrage known. Ron saw the writing on the wall and wisely decided to compromise on his vision with what the fans wanted, as such he and his team switched gears and now aimed to find a way to canonize most of what fans loved about the games that came after the canonical two.
With all of this in mind, you can see why Discovery and Picard were not all that well received since they eschewed what fans loved about the franchise in favor of being generic Hollywood Action Dramas with so much angst about current sociopolitical events that they forgot that the Gene Roddenberry created an sociopolitical commentary that was dressed like an Science Fiction Adventure series who sought to educate people of moral values that can make all the difference for a brighter tomorrow. Alex sought to pitch his own personal tunnel vision to an audience that was tired of being stuck in a bleak world. In other words he was a bad worksman since he had no understanding of his tools nor the experience to select the best options. If he wanted to succeed he should have done what an entrepreneur would do and basically ask his audience about their lives and see what is missing from their day-to-day lives or what could be improved about it, but he learned that lesson too late in the game. To be fair to the guy, he did manage to get Strange, New Worlds close enough to what fans wanted that he could be excused for doing his best impression of a monkey that doesn't see or hear others. But enough bashing a dead horse, let's get to the fun part of the show. Let's get dangerous and create our retelling of Discovery's story in order to get it more in line with what we Trekkies would want. I would also give my two cents about Picard, but that show was soo out-of-continuity that I don't think even Alan Moore would know how to save it from damnation.
First things first, I will present some of the general headcanons that I think would have made more sense from a lore perspective and which justify the changes made to the original version of events. I think that the implication that the office of the Klingon Chancellor didn't exist before the ending of the season 1 finale contradicted too much lore established in Star Trek: Enterprise and therefore I prefer to think that the events that T'Kuvma set in motion were just a prelude to his ascendancy as Chancellor-Elect and the whole war would have been his chance to prove his worth to the Empire. I wilfully choose to ignore the existence of time crystals and the mushrooms hyperspace dimension and those are some hills that I will gladly die on since both are very poor plot devices that can easily be replaced with ideas taken from previous entries in the franchise, more on that later. On the subject of Michael Burnham, I think she and her mother were survivors of a Klingon raid on a research colony that claimed the lives of the rest of the family and in order to escape their trauma they ran all the way to Vulcan, where there wasn't that much of a human presence due to the Vulcan's passive aggressive form of xenophobia and as such whatever person from Earth who lived there was part of a very tight community. With that in mind and applying some childhood neglect on part of Michael's mother, it would make sense that she would spend a lot of time around Amanda Grayson's family to the point of being considered as part of it. Also the plot point of Control going rogue is a cliché that I chose to ignore and therefore Section 31 will simply become more like Cerberus from Mass Effect following the Klingon War. Got all of that? No? Good enough, we have a lot more ground to cover, but I think I ran out of space for this post and will most likely have to do a second one so stay tuned for that.

" WHY BE THE [Little Sponge] WHO HATES ITS [$4.99] LIFE
WHEN YOU CAN BE A
[BIG SHOT!!!] " ~ Spamton , Deltarune
Greetings and bienvenue , loyal customers . Today , do I have the deal for you . Now you may think to yourself : " This guy again . Ugh , I thought you got the message . No one cares ! " . To which , I say : " Bah ! " . But enough , about the haters and naysayers . Let's talk about something people love to hate . Self - Insert fanfiction .
Everyone wants to be a [BIG SHOT ! ] . [ BIG SHOT !! ] . [ BIG SHOT !!! ] . But barely anyone wants to put in the elbow grease or has the moral flexibility of a piece of chewed gum in order to become one . As such , they tend to default to their favorite pop culture franchise and then ask themselves the question : " What if ... I was part of the story ? " . Now , as most fanfiction aficionados know and more casual readers are just finding out , this type of fan work is very self-indulgent . You might ask naively : "How self-indulgent can they be ?" . The sad answer is that they can quickly get into porn without plot territory or even cross into the forbidden realm of ... Mary Sues !
If your curious what a Mary Sue is , then ... look it up on TV Tropes . Honestly , I am an used idea salesman not a walking pop culture encyclopedia . But , long story short , they are overpowered little goody two-shoes with supercomputers for brains and who can do no wrong . Some authors tend to start as subversions to this idea , but slowly as the plot thickness they tend to cross the point of no return and become the very thing they swore to avoid . And this idea is not even exclusive to fanfiction , since it can be the main plot point of a TV show or a book . While not a literal Mary Sue , the titular mecha of Megas XLR is a literal fighting machine that can do anything and it cannot be defeated , although it's pilot is anything but that since he is a gearhead from New Jersey with the appetite of an entire nation .
Anyways , derailing this train of thought for now . Getting back on track of the original topic , Self - Insert stories tend to have a very common elements of how the plot evolves from the reincarnation or insertion of the main character into the target franchise by a random omnipotent being , the hero's journey to meeting the cast of their favourite piece of media , their attempts at using their seemingly infinite knowledge of the series to influence the narrative to their own goals , the emo phase where the main character angsts about missing the people back in their dimension , the reveal of their status as an interdimensional immigrant , romancing one of the characters from the fictional universe , the reveal of some edgy backstory and then either creating a alternative universe or following the same plot points of the original stories , but with extra steps . There is also the other variety of Self - Inserts that end up in Harem situations or desire to do their very best Doctor Doom impression and try to take over the Universe ! As you can see , it is rather self-indulgent if I do say so myself .
Now admittedly there are some Self - Insert stories that manage to make this narrative easier to digest and be fun at the same time , both for the writer to drone on about and for the random online person to read . One such story would be " This Bites ! " , a Self - Insert story about a random guy getting dragged into the One Piece universe , where he joins the infamous Straw Hat pirates , but rather than being a poor man's wet dream , it is an interesting retelling of the original universe , which adverts some of the more ... iffy parts of a Self - Insert narrative such as the aforementioned romancing whatever fictional character you happen to have a crush on and the big drama over being from another dimension . The latter being beautifully subverted by One Piece's main character himself , Luffy D. Monkey , who pretty much tells the main character in no uncertain terms to keep it to himself if it doesn't endanger the crew . Simply marvelous .
Admittedly , I am rather biased about this whole mess , since I read so many Self - Inserts that were obviously pulled from someone's private diary , that I grew jaded with the whole concept . You would too , after reading so many fanfictions about being a rather influential character in Harry Potter or Naruto and you are romancing the titular characters regardless of gender orientation or care for the original material . I mean , what deal would a civilian musician have with a military operation , even if Commander Sheppard recruited an archeologist and a tech-savvy vagrant , both of them were literally informants to an ongoing investigation and had their lives in danger . There is no sense , it is like the random omnipotent being gave the main character a +1 to their charisma or something , since they managed that feat of luck . Or just importing a flipping lightsaber and barely changing some terminology . Honestly , if you gave me five minutes and gave me some time to read through the codex , I could write something more believable from an in-story perspective with just the available lore . Like instead of magic space crystals , just say that it is a graphene blade that is created from a micro - forge in the hilt and agitated by mass effect fields to the point of being a high frequency blade . It stays true to canon and it is original , which are both good things . Then there is the whole sub-genre of " The Gamer " fusion fiction , which all I have to say is , go play a video game rather than read about it . Also , how could a person memorise an entire wikia page about a series to the point of being able to make a minor character's astrological chart without having their memories of the past erased just to make space ? And how can they just adapt to their new circumstances with no issues ? It's not like people of the modern era speak the same languages that were spoken in the Renaissance or even know how to operate future technology that requires information that didn't exist yet . It just boggles the mind to think about .
As you can all see , I happen to have opinions and those writers also have some "interesting" opinions of their own . Maybe , I am reading too much into the whole thing and lost track of the original desire of just reading something for fun . After all , fans tend to become rather toxic when someone threatens their headcanons . But enough about that . Rather than tell you about ideas I dislike , I will tell you about ideas I like . As such , I would rather read a story about a casual fan of a series being sent to their favourite piece of pop culture , where they have some general knowledge of how things will turn up , but not the entire series bibble worth of it , who will ultimately end up living their own adventures of learning about themselves and other through interacting with alien cultures and traditions , which haven't been explored in the lore rather than be shanghaied into the more action packed main plot . Their life story might intersect with the original narrative at some junctions , but it is more self-contained since the self - insert is having a blast with a plethora of original characters rather than worrying about some omnious doom only few know about . On the subject of their knowledge , I would rather skip the part of the whole dramatic reveal of their origins since at this point it is rather insignificant and serves only to burden the characters with a self-awareness that is just ripped out of the 90's . I don't say that the confidants of the inserted player couldn't be notified of this in order to reinforce the bonds they have , but it is a rather dead horse trope that needs to be left to rot in peace .
In conclusion , we all have something to trash talk something out of a need to vent the frustrations caused by an unrelated incidents from our real lives . What's important is to be a constructive critic , since you can moan about your hate boners all you want , but if you don't tell people how to improve , then your just contributing to the problem .
Now that I got off my high horse , you can comb this essay for whatever ideas you want to use for the low price of your attention span .

So, I can’t believe I have to say this but when drawing on sites like Magma.com or whiteboard. PLEASE, do not start tracing over or color someone’s art—Especially when said person is in the middle of doing it their self, like—Why?
So, just a simple reminder to be respectful of your fellow artists when drawing together. <3
Really simple rant post, but gods was it almost surreal to have happen.
new headcanon
i like the idea that dust hides in clothes, like his hood and scarf hides his face but he also wears gloves and is one of the few sanses who wears pants instead of shorts. Basically, he constantly has all hint of bone hidden Dust felt like he had to hide from his empty world, from the "dust" that covered every inch of his au. BUT Killer didnt care at all he didnt care to hide, he saw his empty world as more of a freedom especially since he lost his emotions. so since no one is around why should he bother covering up? it started as just sleeping in the nude, to wandering around the house nude, to just grabbing something from grillbys nude till eventually, he has been alone so long that he is just like "Why bother all the clothes are dirty anyway and who would i be washing them for." too lazy to do chores he just goes bare boned 24/7. imagine him and Nightmare first meeting, Killer at this point just forgets about his natural state and Nightmare has to make rules about going out he has to wear clothes. OR what if NM spent a couple centuries alone and thinks this is the new norm for skeletons and just lets Killer be. its not till they recruit Dust OR Nightmare hears rumors that he has a "poor abused captive that he doesnt allow clothes." NM realizes that Killer is just weird and has to force Killer to wear clothes. Killer would definitely take to it like a chihuahua being forced to wear those tiny dog shoes, he would HATE it. Both Dust and Nightmare would carry shorts to make Killer wear when he inevitably "loses" his clothes.
Top 10 characters that deserved to survive danganronpa
[ Huge spoiler warning for all the games! Reminder this is my personal opinion, take it or leave it ]
10. Peko Pekoyama
Peko’s execution had to be one of the most painful executions of all the danganronpa games- even though it wasn’t very physically painful, the fact that she hurt the person she cared about most (Fuyuhiko) without wanting to, is what hurt the most. I didn’t really have enough time to get attached to her, however I really liked her personality and she deserved better.
9. Kaede Akamatsu
I’m not a huge fan of Kaede, her character was kinda bland and very similar to Makoto’s, her design was underwelming and I didnt find her an intresting character at all, however her execution was hands down the worst from all the games. The fucking fact that it carried on for 8 hours and everyone of her classmates had to witness that was really disgusting, but the fact that she never even meant to kill anyone of her classmates in the first place (she was planning to kill the mastermind) but was just THAT unlucky to kill Rantaro instead- that’s a whole other level of misfortune.
8. Mukuro Ikusaba
I still cant get over the fact that Mukuro was killed by her own fucking sister? And when she was expecting it the least. She thought that her and Junko were going to continue her plan together, and was actually the first to be killed at the start of Trigger Happy Havoc. The fact that Junko didn’t even show any fucking remorse to any of this makes her an even more twisted character.
7. Chihiro Fujisaki
Chihiro’s death pissed me off a lot. The reason he died especially, Mondo’s “reason” for killing him was absolute bullshit (ok we get it you have anger issues but like). Chihiro managed to help the remaining of his classmates even AFTER his death, and he’s an absolute king for that.
6. Celestia Ludenberg
Okok, hear me out here. Celestia by far had one of the smartest plans for a murder from all of the games. Her plan was executed perfectly and no one suspected a thing. I was secretly rooting for her to win, because her plan required such a high level of intelligence to come up with- her motives were kinda dubious though.
5. K1-B0
By the last chapter of V3, I was honestly relieved that Kiibo was one of the survivors. Or at least WAS GOING to be one of the survivors- stupidly enough, kiibo still destroys everything and kills himself and Tsumugi through self destruction. 3 survivors are Maki, Shuichi, and Himiko, and it's kinda bs. LITERALLY WHAT IS UP WITH EVERYONE SACRIFICING THEMSELVES
4. Chiaki Nanami
Chiaki was one of my favorite characters, and her death was really unfair. Same as Kaede, she never meant to kill anyone except for the culprit. She deserved way better, and she was one of the characters that I really wanted to survive until the end. Some crimes can be forgiven 😁
3. Nagito Komaeda
Nagito’s death came as a fucking shock to me, but was even more disturbing is that he did it all to himself. He sacrificed himself in order to kill the Remnants of Despair. He set up a "suicide" to cause Chiaki Nanami, the traitor and not a Remnant of Despair, to unknowingly deal the killing blow, and therefore become the blackened. He deserved better.
2. Sakura Ogami
Honestly, Sakura was the last one I’d ever expect to be the traitor. I loved her character and she deserved way better, however due to her death, she did manage to help Naegi and the others uncover the mastermind.
1. Kokichi Ouma
I don’t think this is gonna come as a surprise to any of you lmao. Kokichi is one of the most hated but loved characters of all danganronpa- some say he had it coming but others try to act as if he’s some sort of fucking angel. Truth is, Kokichi fits in neither of those categories, which is what makes him such a great antagonist. He never knew how to express his emotions, and was extremely scared of opening up to people, hence his title of being a “liar”. He commited suicide to win and *RUIN* the killing game. Yes, ruin. He did this to *ruin* the killing game. What makes the whole deal a lot sadder is, that he died thinking that the only person he ever loved (Shuichi) hated him. *cries in kokichi kinnie*
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
You know, I don’t feel sorry for those people that get their marriage proposals rejected in public. Obviously, they didn’t discuss anything with their partners before that, so it’s their fault really. Who makes that kind of decision like that? It’s not like marriage is serious, am I right? Nooo, let me just propose to this girl in a football field during the finals, because why wouldn’t she be ecstatic??? I’m a catch, bro. This isn’t the 19th century. Talk to your partners, you idiots.
The marvel rivals season numbering convention irks me a lot so you have the FIRST season which would reasonably be called season 1 because we are a intelligent society who know that the FIRST thing is always number one but instead in some Gregorian ass sick twist of fate the people up at marvel rivals decide to choose to label their first season as season 0 which I don’t mind too much it’s the only other semi-reasonable option, it will make things a lot more confusing, but alas we move on to season 1 which means they are progressing in WHOLE numbers this will be important for the next season season one… POINT FIVE WHY JUST WHY IF MARVEL RIVALS WANTED TO GO BY .5s THEN THEY COULDVE CALLED THE SECOND SEASON (season 1?) SEASON 0.5 IF YOU WANT TO BE CONFUSING ABOUT IT AT LEAST MAKE IT CONSISTENT. I’m just saying all this trouble could’ve been avoided if you 1.started off with .5s and 2. Ignore number one because it would’ve been much simpler just going 1,2,3,4 so on and so forth like any baby can do in their first half decade in life.
Guys it's been months since my last piece on here, but school is a bitch. A real bitch.
I re-opened Tumblr to check my notifications after a long time of absence and the fact that we're 400 notes from 10k shocks me. It really does.
It's one of my worst pieces if I have to be honest, but knowing my art skills atm I wouldnt be able to sketch it again. School has literally drained all of my energy from my body and as summer is rapidly approaching I feel like I can breathe again. I'm working like crazy to get decent marks, as in a year I will be completing my final year of high school and. Idk. It feels weird to know I have to enter university.
Thank you if you've been sticking out with a dead blog, thank you if you have ever supported me with a like or with a reblog. Just thank you. I'll be back soon, I promise.
I deleted the old version cause it looked strange??????
I know, i suck at backgrounds lmao
This is my first real attempt at digital art so please, if it’s ugly, be gentle lmao

The Journey:Yukio’s Rant
It feels like just yesterday when the idea of welcoming a cat into my life seemed like a distant fantasy, a shimmering mirage on the horizon of my imagination. Now, that dream has unfurled into reality, but not without its share of trials and tribulations.
I recall a conversation with him, my boyfriend, just moments ago. His voice was a soothing balm, assuring me that everything would be alright—that we would weather this storm together. He had chosen the runt of the litter, a delicate creature already teetering on the brink of existence. The little one was weak and fragile, a whisper of life that seemed to fade with every passing moment.
Tending to her before placing her in my care was no small feat; it felt like walking a tightrope over an abyss. There were nights when I lay awake, heart pounding, fearing that I would awaken to find her breathless and still. I kept my worries hidden beneath layers of hope until I could no longer contain them.
But today, as I look at Yukio—named after a character from Deadpool. The truth of her struggle is now a story I share openly to him and grateful for the unwavering faith he had in me. That faith belonged to him—her foster father, who nurtured her before entrusting her to my care.
The notion of co-parenting a cat was never etched into my plans; it was an unexpected twist in the narrative of my life. I had always envisioned myself as an independent figure, navigating the world solo with my feline companion. Yet here I am, sharing this journey with him—a dream that peaks into traditional boundaries.
Yukio now has two homes filled with love and attention from two humans. I am not merely a single mother like the Internet portrays these days; rather, I am part of a duo—a feminine spirit nurturing a cat who receives equal affection from both her foster parents.
I am grateful for Yukio’s presence in my life, just as I am thankful for him—the man who knows exactly what to say to remind me that I deserve this happiness. His words are like gentle waves lapping at the shores of my insecurities, assuring me that love is abundant and shared.

i think it's ok not to be social media famous, but my mistake was sort of... Assuming it would happen anyway, like as a side effect.
Like, I found Matt Gray's tumblr the other day, and it's got barely any notes compared to other stuff (yes i know it's also a bad example because he's inactive now, but) I was weirded out because he's famous irl, so I'd have thought that would make some difference? I'm fine with just existing here, but if the bounciest man on the internet isn't tumblr-semi-famous at least, I hope you can see why I'm having a bit of an existential crisis
I hate when people say that “humans discovered fire”. No we didn’t. We didn’t discover ice or plants. We discovered how to make it and use it. Fire is natural and naturally occurring and we probably used it before we knew how to make it.
And I know some of you are gonna say “obviously, everyone knows that” but no! I’ve seen people talk about it as if humans just magically made fire one day and now we have fire.
And humans didn’t just show up one day. There weren’t humans who never saw or heard of fire in their life. Monkeys know about fire, pre historic humans knew about fire and we know about fire.
People are stupid and we didn’t discover fire.
I’m curious as to if a sociologist has compiled the phenomenon that occurs when people aren’t able to reply to a post. A lot get irrationally angry and screenshot the post to reply anyway. It’s weird seeing people’s response to not having access to a complete stranger’s account.
I believe the internet has conditioned people into thinking they parasocially deserve access to complete strangers at all times. If that access is denied it triggers some weird stimuli in the brain to make them find a way to reply anyway.
You can see this with muting and blocking too. “Of course that account blocked me!” Well maybe things need to be said without dealing with the ramblings of rude/ malicious replies.
You deserve to have an opinion. But I also deserve to not hear your opinion, if I don’t want to hear it.
It takes some people literal decades to grasp this concept. You aren’t entitled to have access to others.

Joker 2 is spiteful mess. I understand the message perfectly fine. It’s still not a good delivery of the message. Especially since Arthur only drops his Joker persona shortly after being molested.
I’m quite disgusted with that sequence of events. Joker 2 continues the trend of sequels being spiteful messes.
“Oh you mildly enjoyed the first film? Well fuck you.”
For the love of Chaplain , will these pretentious directors get off their high horse? You should be grateful that your film succeeded on such a small budget. Especially when your two previous films were Grown ups 3 and The Road Trip.
Shitlibs will try to invalidate your experience just because they haven’t personally experienced it. These same people talk over POC, disabled, neurodivergent, and LGBTQ members because they haven’t personally experienced a specific thing. Congrats! The world doesn’t revolve around you. Quit being a jerk and open your ears. Shut your mouth.
It’s wild to me that people complain when people turn off replies. Social media has really conditioned people into believing everything requires a response and pointless debate. Sometimes people want to say something without being subjected to others wild misunderstanding of their statement. Sometimes things need to be said without an “erm actually” being thrown into the comments section. If anything replies being turned off has killed trolling and trolls see the most pissed off.
tears over beers
you put too much effort into relationships and the girl you genuinely had feelings for broke your heart, even now after knowing about what she done, your friends still choose her over you.
because of this you relapsed.
and lost yourself again.
until one night three women find you in the woods about to take your life.
TRIGGER WARNING
self harm, suicide attempt, alcoholism, drug use, swearing, past relationship trauma, eating disorder, body dysphoria. (totally not writing just to vent..yes that’s exactly what I’m doing)
IF YOU ARE EASILY TRIGGERED PLEASE DONT READ THIS
(I see you little depressed bitches who are going to ignore this message, if this is you please reach out to me or anyone for that matter, I know what your going through, even if I don’t I will try and help)
tears run down your face, you bring your stained hoodies sleeve up to your crimson coloured cheeks, the once dry, blue hoodie, now damp and a deep blue colour. you wipe the salty tears off of your face.
blurred vision and a bottle of beer in your hand, the tears fall faster than ever, you can almost sense the panic attack that is coming for the 5th time in the past 4 hours.
the thing about you is that when you seriously genuinely like someone, you do anything in your power to keep them.

you where 16 and freshly out of a emotionally abusive relationship, first year of college, your time to shine.
two of your closest friends from secondary school managed to stay in the same friend group as you, from that you built a whole new friendship group, different people from your friends classes joined.
about half way through your first year of college you developed feelings for a girl who recently discovered her own sexuality. Through her discovering herself she managed to split the group which was once a big group into two, the other half of the group studied a different course than your side and now the two groups barely talk.
upon telling your best friend about your newfound feelings, she tells you that the girl sees you in the same light as you see her.
a few weeks later the girl you liked and one of your closets friends texted you saying they both had feelings for you. Upon this a massive wave of guilt engulfed your mind. You had liked your close friend for years before when you where both in secondary school yet you still liked this new friend.
you had told them both that you where confused and couldn’t make your decision so soon. Your close friend Em told you to take your time and that if it was her you where willing to choose that she would wait forever for you, on the other hand, your other friend Kai told you that you had to choose and that it wasn’t fair.
you tried so hard to choose but you couldn’t.
once both of them and your best friend wanted to go see the same movie so you invited them all to see it together as it would’ve been easier. To make it even more awkward your younger brother decided to tag along.
during the movie Em held your hand because she recognised your anxiety about the cinema, along with the scary scene that was playing before you, for the next hour, the two of you held hands. Then the same on the bus ride, once Kai left, Em took the opportunity to hold your hand, then kissing it once you reached her stop.
Throughout the rest of the year Kai begged for your attention and love while Em worked for your love.
and guess who you picked
if you thought Em
you thought wrong.
stupidly you picked Kai because Em was at another college and the two of you barely saw each other, whereas even though she never put in effort Kai saw you everyday.
A few month of sharing hoodies and you putting in the most effort to make sure Kai is having a good time while she is going through things, you wanted to ask the question. ‘what are we?’
you ended up asking her through text what she wanted from the talking stage, after that she told you she needed space.
this was the first time she hurt you, broke you even.
you sat on a table alone as your friends went to talk to her, they left all their stuff with you, you sat and silently sobbed while they laughed with her.
Summer finally broke out and you had the girl unadded for the whole time, your friends hung out with her while you were either on holiday or alone in your room reading comic books of super heroes with the dream love story.
Around 2 weeks till college starts she added you again with the plea to start talking again, of course you being a fucking idiot, you said yes because your friends wanted the group to be together again with you being the ‘glue’ of the group.
Your now in second year of college
through the use of the internet you found your diagnosis for depression and the internet keeps saying your neurodivergent.
She would send you relationship posts through tiktok and snapchat, yet the moment you ask for the second time what she wanted from the relationship, she fucked you over again.
But this time worse, she left you on opened before spending a week ignoring you, the friend group fell apart a bit more and you just stayed away as much as you could in fear you’d show yourself crying in front of them.
She eventually messaged you and the two of you stopped talking.
now not even two weeks later, you heard through a good friend that she has already moved on with one of your ex’s who also fucked you over.
In the coming weeks your life fell apart, you can’t find a job, your failing everything you do and your presence at college is near to never

your now sat in the woods with a bottle of your pills in your lap, unknowingly of the famed avengers’ new mission in your area.
Three of the avengers are stood watching you from behind you, without your knowledge. Your new apple airpod maxes placed upon your dark curly hair, music blaring.
After a few minutes of them watching you they start to whisper about your state as you pull up your sleeves, cursing at yourself for not bandaging your arms properly, blood runs down your forearms from the deep raging red lines that cover the entirety of your arms.
Upon seeing this you feel a pair of strong arms wrapping around your shoulders, hugging you from behind, you throw your headphones off, putting them on the floor. “Shh I’m here” a raspy Russian voice says while you melt into their hold. Another two people join the hug, “it’s okay detkà we’ve got you” another voice says, this time her voice is hinted with an old Slavic accent, lastly another female says “I’ve got you little one” in an American accent.

Tell me if you do this at all people:
Watches a live action show of a book/videogame
Hasn't seen any of the source material and has no idea if the show is good or not or if it's even "loyal" to the source material
Takes a peek at what Tumblr and other social medias say about it before forming an opinion
Secretly like the show itself while everyone else dunks on it, forcing you to hide your shameful positive opinion least you be ostracized by the many fans that want to take their rage out on something for this horrid indignity.
Eventually you absorb the hate and even though you like it you have to hate it.
Sooooo moral of the story is... I dunno. I don't really know where I was going with this but halfway through writing I wonder about something, if I had seen the source material beforehand would I still enjoy a show about it? Would I hate it for not being "loyal" if I had knowledge of every intricate detail of lore and the specific behaviours of each and every character?
Anyway, that my 36 hour of consciousness bored rant, night everybody
Don't you just fucking love when a little ass 8 year old walks a little too close behind you and you warn them NINE FUCKING TIMES and then THEY FUCKING LAUGH WHEN YOU WARN THEM
BUT FOUR MINUTES LATER THEY GET ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BY YOUR FADOKUS ASS WHILE SWINGING BECAUSE THEY RAN BEHIND YOU, START CRYING, TELL THEIR MOTHER, BLAME YOU, THEN YOU GETTING YOUR ASS CHEWED OUT BECAUSE 'They hit their head' AND THEN THE FUCKING PARK MANAGER HAS TO PULL UP FUCKING FOOTAGE OF YOU WARNING THE CHILD MULTIPLE TIMES, THEN GETTING HIT, SO THE MOTHER DOESNT 'press charges' BECAUSE THEIR FUCKING CHILD MADE FACIAL CONTACT WITH MY FAT APROACHING ASS DESPITE CLEARLY BEING WARNED!?
My fat fadonkus ass: 1
Dumb ass 8yo: 0
what all ai tech bros/ai artists/etc. seem to have in common is that they view art as a product to be sold or as content to be consumed, and not as what it actually is.
Because what art actually is, is an expression of human emotions. This is a very flexible definition, but that's also the point, because human emotions are very flexible and varied. Art can help you express and release emotions, be they joy or happiness, but also emotions like sadness, dispair or hatred. And I'm not just talking about high art, I'm including stuff like porn here, because lust is also a human emotion, and "self-gratification" is also just another word for "because it's fun".
AI artists aren't artists for many reasons. Not having the skills to make art isn't even necessarily one of them, but rather that they're completely unwilling to learn the skills, or even learn how to look at art like an artist, because let me tell you, there is very much a difference.
But the one reason, above all, why AI art isn't real art, is because it's not an expression of human emotions. By definition, it can't be. It's not made by a human, it's made by a statistical algorithm. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. Either on purpose, or unknowingly, including to themselves.
If AI art was real art, AI artists wouldn't be generating hundreds of thousands of pieces and not be satisfied with any single one.
The first reason for this is because they're not actually making it. They're giving their control over to a machine and turning their brain off.
The second reason is because there's no emotional release. They're not processing anything. They're not even learning anything.
THAT is why AI art is garbage.
//: can we jjust talk about anti-endos for a second?
//: it’s just like... imagine basically saying to someone, “you aren’t real” “ii don’t believe in your existence and you thinking you exist is harmful”
//: it feels hypocritical. it IS hypocritical. because thats what ssome closed-minded singlets say to traumagenics too, surely
//: just because we didn’t form from trauma doesn’t mean we didn’t form at all.
//: and so what? wwe’re just existing. we aren’t hurting anyone.
//: we understand why anti-endos believe what they do about us, and why they believe us eexisting is harmful to them, but it still isn’t right and it’s still hypocritical. y’know?
