replaying mystic messenger is so crazy because why am i gentle parenting these grown men and teaching them how to handle their feelings

#mystic messenger #mysme #jumin han #saeyoung choi #this post is mainly about those two #i get so mad whenever jumin enters a chatroom like get out of my face im not joking I DO NOT LIKE YOU #like i get it blah blah blah CEO with a cold heart trope and you melt his icy exterior But im so tired... #i don't want to explain workers rights to him #or... basic human rights actually #when he goes “jaehee i need you to work overtime again” and my face contorts in disgust and horror as a sitcom laugh track plays in the bac #also seven's route is so frustrating #like there's genuine reasons for him acting cold and whatever and i get it #but i actually dont want to watch you break a robot cat and then change ur pfp to a dark and broody photo of yourself #I ALSO CANT TALK TO ZEN IM SORRY I HATE HIM SO MUCH #zen lovers do not hate me... i am just a simple person #at one point in seven's route he was like “omg there's an explosive in the apartment? i should send a pic of myself to comfort you...” #I CANNOT HANDLE YOU GO LOG OFF YOUR PHONE #sorry wow im really into this game #i played it four years ago and now it's come back to me #also all of my points are nullified by the fact that saeran is my favorite #doing his route is like pulling teeth and eating socks #i say that with love

Something about how Heart is being compared to mythology, Minds referencing the bible & Soul being the one to use both of those things

#its so fun to my brain. its interesting to me #idk if that actually means anything i just find it neat #Heart being referenced as Juno [the greek moon goddess] #Mind referencing the bible [he does it mainly in TME but also the whole judgment & punishment talk as well] #then there's Soul with the end of Dream & all of Two Wuv [also a couple extra lines in TSE NMtK & such] #this has probably been said before but i still find it interesting #also to add in. Whole does none of those things really #not including some songs since they're more CJ centric/not Whole based [if that makes sense] #but Whole is much more literal non-metaphorical way of explaining things/singing #the most he talks about anything that's a metaphor is like the Time Machine bits in TMR #THO whats also kinda fun is that when he sorta talks less literal. its in the back & forth part in TWWaY #like showing all separate parts of HMS are there but as one person #again idk if im making sense #im rambling now but its interesting to me #chonny jash #moss post

Today I did a lot of doodles so I’m going to post them now because I haven’t been posting a lot!!

First, the crossover no one asked for

Second, Taranza picking a fight and being angry because part of my soul needs more bastard Taranza content DESPERATELY. Like guys… feed my soul.

Third, Susie Haltmann but a Gijinka based more or less on my own outfit today (I cannot write T’s very well I apologize if it looks like an R)

And last but not least a drawing of Susie Haltmann I started months ago and finally finished today

#I can talk so much about these #I hope you all like them #the Taranza drawing specifically though was named on my ipad: #why you trolling like a bitch ain’t you tired? #because I was listening to not like us by Kendrick Lamar #I thought that was a little silly #also that susie Haltmann design I made today was made while listening to creative control by SMG4 #you know you’re mentally ill when the line up is those two back to back #🌟 homestar art post 🌟 #kirby #🌟 homestar talker 🌟 #homestar runner #h*r #hsr #homestarrunner #kirby series #sorry for the mainly Kirby stuff Homestar fans #but your boy is there so I thought I’d feed the crowd officially #I promise to draw more Homestar soon #I just have to like… get drawing ideas which I only currently am having kirby ideas #new crossover au where Strong Bad teams up with Kracko the cloud to try and beat up Kirby #anyways #magolor #kirby art #kirby fanart #susie haltmann #taranza #dark meta knight

i actually didn't expect there's so many jayroses on tumblr omfg? finally my people.

anyway, still though let's be real. if rose was a white person (white man) this ship would've been more popular lmao ppl just don't like if their favorite male characters have canon female (character of color) love interests who are equally if not more powerful.

#coincidentally all of “villain” female love interests of dc superheroes are woc #mainly asian women #from talia al ghul #to jade nguyen #to rose wilson #wow #the fact that latter two are southeast female characters make me protective lol like those are my people #people whined about wanting morally grey or even villainous female characters #but they already have it #THEM #and they're treated like shits by their male love interest fandoms #but anyway! #jayrose #jason todd #rose wilson #but also #rant post #wallyslinda rants

Good evening gamers! I hope everyone's day has gone well! :>

As for me, I'm just thinking about all my familial f/os. Specially my kids and fankids-

#pan rambles #It mainly started bc I've seen that one rb game where you ask for headcanons of your f/os sexuality/gender #And since most of my kids (Minus Iris) are in their teens or 20s I think they're old enough to experiment with that sorta stuff-afksnfkdnf #And for my fankids... Usually I imagine them as very young (because the thought of them getting older makes me all emotional ;v;) #but I do sometimes imagine what they'd be like when they're older and have my own headcanons for their gender/sexuality #speaking of Fan kids...I need to talk about them more!!! #I have 3 of them! <3 #2 of them are my Snow fankids!! <3 I don't have names for those two but I do have a design for them both #They're the cutest and I love them so so much! They're pretty developed actually! I'm just bad with names-afksnfkdn #My other fankid is Soleil! She's my Dimitri fankid! I need to develop her a little more but she's very cool! #Also a heck I just realized...Xander also has a kid... #He's still only a crush but...If Xander becomes an official f/o then I'll have a new son boy! #Afksbfkd Anyways point of this post is that I love my kids (both fankids and official ones) and I'm proud of them all! #And that I should talk about them more often

#this is about uhh #brian may #who else? #john deacon #mainly those two yeah #if somebody bugs me about it i'll post the specific photo of brian that prompted this

[lulughoul]

I lowkey want to try posting more about other interests/fandoms of mine but ik no one would really care/understand

#Not that I'm mad about it ofc this is mostly a mh/rh account and I'm so happy to be able to connect with other fans of these two #But I have so many other mixed and different interests/comfort shows #and it's hard to post about those when my main audience is into something completely different #I occasionally do but it's mainly for me and my one braincell nodding in agreement

[turnandface]

Working on verses and background info tonight! I'm off work tomorrow, though, so I will be writing replies and ask answers >:3c

#miles and kieran are getting fallout verses. I cannot contain the brainrot #I am also trying to write out more about those two because currently I feel like there is Not Enough #if anyone would care to chime in :eyes: is there enough on my blog/ in their docs to get a good grasp of character with these two? #I might make this a separate post instead of accidentally burying it in the tags #I'm not sure whether I'm right to feel this way...or if it's something that just comes with the territory of writing ocs #(i've mainly been writing canon characters recently) #ooc. sol speaks

The way we see flashbacks of what Button House was through the years reminds me of the Drumshee books. I’m not sure how popular they were outside Ireland but the general idea was a series of unconnected stories all about the same plot of land. The first one was called Nuala and Her Secret Wolf set in the Iron Age and the last one is called millennium@drumshee and is set in 2000. I know I’ve seen the Titanic one all over the place but the others not so much. It’s just such an interesting concept because while the characters are sometimes related distantly the important thing is their connection no matter how brief, to the land that is Drumshee or Button House.

#I think those are the first and last ones anyway. or at least they were the oldest and most recent of the ones I read #but it has been many years and I borrowed them all from the library so it mainly depended on what ones they had at the time #I’d say they were all published in the mid to late nineties? they’re definitely not new #Cora Harrison the author has done some other really good books since #there was two book series about Drumshee but the other one focused on the same characters at one specific time in drumshee’s history and I #didn’t like those ones though annoying they’re the ones I own #bbc ghosts #anywya just thinking about the flashbacks of button house/higham house/bone manor #and how so much changed but yet it ties them all together #my own post

feeling SO SO NORMAL about the beloved BLADE GUNNBLADE

#could've waited to make this post but no i couldn't and why would i #there's little about them that inspires Restraint in this oeuvre #i've been on a feverish blade gunnblade quest like how last night was a feverish lucifer from the mysteries quest #these are NEW pics like we've seen a couple of similar shots to the couple familiar ones but not These specifically and whew #and THE TOP ONE...i got misty #weapons swap there....they do have a gun+blade weapon #although blade is presumably gendered she/her / as a woman in this performance. i'm just presuming Now they could be them/them nonbinary lol #also apparently the entire second part of the saga is Mainly abt blade. they get that conclusive battle & everything so i have to suppose. #and that there's also a brief but full Episode from that part two...but w/a prior(? or subsequent. maybe prior) diff actor #in which blade is a man so i have to suppose the gender is completely flexible. why wouldn't it be #me learning that blade's tragic backstory involves their adult spouse & infant child being killed by robots in front of them....soooo #😳👉👈 what i'm getting is that they're single? #one of those ''gay sex won't fix this situation & will probably make it worse but i think we should try it anyways'' things #blade gunnblade #asia kate dillon #kapow-i gogo #oh and i kept being surprised at overlap between this and the mysteries lol like what do you mean jesus is also here #(the connection is the flea theater / the bats....) #Yet More Media Of Asia Kate Dillon As Blade Gunnblade Being Out There Still: i believe in you #same goes for akd as lucifer in the mysteries #in the course of looking around for blade pics found a few pics of them from some completely other production too... #oh and frankly that's a handy ref to compare their right forearm tattoo there w/what lucifer seems to have (matches well enough i think) #the triumvirate here of lucifer / blade gunnblade / the adjudicator like HELLo. Hiyeee. Holy shit. #(that's not necessarily Respective. any/all goes for any/all of them)

Like the other day Im looking up compilations of the bugs and glitches and people having fun with friends in the co-op with the glitches and stuff in the game to becoming attached to one of the main characters of the game because of his design and backstory and the whole story in general has a story that actually makes you feel that hurt yet warm feeling in you heart over moments like oh mY G O D I LOVE EVERYONE OF THE MAIN 3 CHARACTERS and then a lot of the pokemon designs are so cute , the fact two of them are joke evolutions yet ones that I just love so much but then it hurts knowing that Gamefreak devs were rushed to make this game and if there were no bugs this game more than likely wouldve been scored higher by online critics bUT WHATEVER Why am I ever caring about online critics when I never did anyhow in the past , just hate how artists and devs have been treated in the past few years but GOD its crazy how awesome and beautiful this story is even for how rushed the game was sadly but kfmfvbnjhtngrefvgbghtr

Sad Nostalgia

#These two gave me some of the best memories of my life #I was struggling a lot freshman year; and meeting these two really helped me step away from bad territory #We’ve had major fights that have ended badly #but we managed to path it all up; and we’re happy with where we are #I know Luna is living the dream rn #She has potential to get somewhere in life; make it big #I haven’t heard anything about Le and what they’re doing with their life or where they are #I can only hope they’re happy too; and are making it somewhere #Both of them are talented and were amazing friends. #I might just be talking to Luna right now; but hopefully me and Le catch up on some things #Now why am I posting it here? #mainly because I listened to old roblox music that just hit me hard #we used to play ”Work at a Pizza place” together a lot; and the Christmas theme always reminds me of those two 😭😭😭

Thanks for posting your kin essays, that takes a lot of vulnerability and introspection.

You're welcome.

#For the record and I didn't make this very clear for people who don't know the difference those two posts are about my experience as a #fictive with OSDD #first and foremost. And then about kinning as a practice. I mainly use it as a jumping off point in Part 1. Part 2 is about #my experience with a weird community gap in how people don't kin from One Piece. #They're kind of unrelated to be honest but the through-line that is not obvious at all to anybody else: #Is the fact our system feels safer in communities where fictionkin is more prevalent. #I also mainly use it as a reference point in Part 1 because when talking about my own experiences as a fictive I didn't want to dismiss #non-systems with a similar experience. I feel that would be unfair. #Due to my own experiences with fictionkin being the safest possible place to exist as a fictive. #asks #Stupid tag. Should've been “answered” what are you #a tool? #(Directed at alter who mainly runs this account.) #modposts

I want ppl to be meaner to them actually

#idk those notes and posts seemed so #consoling??? almost?? #like the way you treat a kid who ignored a safety warning yknow v #like ‘see this is what I didn’t want to happen’ #I want us to be angrier about it actually #the whole Republican gay ppl finally getting a fucking clue #like remember when that republican trans woman #I forgot her name #Kelly or kiley or some shit #the one who said there were happy slaves or whatever #remember when she made that bs apology and y’all jumped down blk ppls throats for not accepting it #like mainly blk and native (from my fyp) queer ppl were speaking about how that apology was shit #and even if it was good she’s not absolved of anything #and y’all were in their comments going ‘everyone makes mistakes’ #just for her to tweet ‘yeah that apology was be’ like two days later? #y’all need some more backbone actually #spineless behavior I’m sick of it #these niggas were MEAN. they wanted to KILL YOU #not just you but your friends #ur family and ur community #fucking act like it omg

a summar(ule)y of 196 culture

since the tumblr veterans have been kind enough to introduce us newbies to their site and culture, i think it is only fair that we explain the culture of our glorious former home to any tumblr users who might be interested in the #196 tag. keep in mind, all these things are based on my perspective of the situation.

first of all, some general information (that you might’ve already heard):

196 (r/196 on reddit) was a subreddit with only one (official) rule; "post before you leave." it was mainly a meme/shitposting sub, but it cultivated a large queer and left-leaning community. in protest of the recent api chances in reddit, 196 has shut down indefinitely until reddit reverts these changes.

now for some culture/references that you might come across

spronkus kronkus:

spronkus is this yellow, rabbit-like creature.

they were the mascot of our subreddit. their appearance can vary from images to image, but as far as i’m aware, their full outfit consists of a bandanna in the colours of the trans flag around their neck, a gun labelled as such (other wise you obviously wouldn’t know what you’re looking at), and an axe also coloured like the trans flag.

r/place:

this is a rare event on reddit where the entire website gets a huge white canvas and can start creating pixel art on it. 196 participated by collaboratively creating our mascot, spronkus with "196!" written next to them.

this version of the pixel art was recreated by me as i couldn't find a nice image of it. there were some changes between the first version and the end result, so this might not be exactly how it looked in the end

post titles/"rule":

reddit forces it's users to title every post they make. as most of the posts on 196 spoke for themselves, many user instead titled their posts "rule", to indicate that they followed the subreddit's only rule. some people also tried to make puns with the word or tried to include it in words that shared some letters (example: wor(ule)d).

anarcho-stripperism:

as the amount of cropped porn jokingly posted to the subreddit increased, the moderators decided that porn would be banned from the sub, with one exception: anarcho-stripperism. she made food fucking videos, in which she jokingly tested the fuckability of different food items (fruits, pasta, etc.)

bigotry showcase:

bigotry showcase was a post flair (basically the reddit equivalent of tags) on the subreddit and was later restricted to only be used on saturdays. under this flair people posted instances of different forms of bigotry to make fun it.

eating babies/hungryposting:

at some point, the subreddit started to pretend to like eating babies, which started a variety of memes regarding the subject. even a post flair called "hungrypost" was added because of this

goblinhog:

goblinhog is the most prominent and well-known member of the 196 moderation team. besides this, on 196 he was mostly known for changing people’s flair if you enjoyed him enough about it.

flairs:

flairs are little tags that are displayed under your name in posts or comments, they are also subreddit specific. most subreddits give their users a palette of preset flairs and the option to make your own custom flair. however, in 196 you only had the option to customize your flair during special events. if you wanted to customize your flair outside of those events (which was basically the entire time), you had to ask a mod to do it for you.

punching nazis:

from time to time, the same gif of a person with a nazi armband getting punched in the face, and promptly falling to the ground, was reposted to the subreddit. this became a sort of tradition.

discourse/drama

wasp discourse:

the wasp discourse was a one to two weeks long heated discussion that generally divided the subreddit into two factions. one side said that they were justified in killing wasps if they were attacked by them, while the other claimed that since wasps are just animals, they aren't aware of what they're doing in the same way humans are, and therefore should be spared.

drama about the british:

there was a time when jokes along the lines of "ew, british" became pretty frequent on the subreddit. as a response, some user claimed that this was akin to racism and tried to get others to stop with the jokes. a debate over whether or not it was important or necessary to stop followed afterwards.

pillar discourse:

this was a debate over which type of pillar should be considered the best (ionic; doric; corinthian). i have seen the question "which pillar is the best?" being used as a sort of greeting between 196 refugees on here.

related subreddits

195:

195 was the predecessor to 196, and also was a social experiment with the same premise as 196 (one rule, post before you leave). as the creators of 195 ended the experiment, the community wanted something with the same vibe to continue posting, and thus 196 was born.

197:

197 is another part of the 196 ecosystem and is commonly understood to be the more politically right-leaning and bigoted as 196, as some people who were banned from 196 continued posting there. besides that, the subreddits were essentially the same in terms of how they functioned.

19684:

this subreddit adds a second rule which banned all mentions of sex (that’s why it’s name is a pun on 1984). some people took this as banning all discussion of sexuality, which resulted in a community that was slightly less accepting of queer people. it is currently still up and running as the 196 moderation team wants a way to stay in contact with the community.

amendments to the posts:

u/femboy_expert:

another well-known 196 user. as the name suggests they're an expert on the subject of femboys, with their flair on 196 reading "phd in feminine boys". as the subreddit was somewhat obsessed with femboys, it's no wonder that they became popular.

u/shitcum_backup:

this was the main account of a pretty popular shitposter on the subreddit. although i didn't see them as much in the last few months, i remember them sometimes having a unique speaking pattern, in which they referred to themself in the third person.

u/monko74:

this user commented "Every day I thank god for not making me a r/196 celebrity," which led to many users of the subreddit treating them like a micro celebrity. there are even a few subreddits solely dedicated to u/monko74.

691:

a sister subreddit that inverts the rule of 196, here you would be (temporarily) banned for posting. some time ago the members of this sub initiated a rebellion/revolution against the bot who performed all the bans (roomba).

u/Smart_Calendar1874:

this wasn’t necessarily part of the subreddit, but it was a pretty popular meme. and since it’s getting posted on here again, and i know enough about it, i’ll add it to the post. this user made a post to r/AskReddit titled "How would you get a small cylinder (5.1in length, ~4.5in girth) unstuck from a mini M&Ms tube filled with butter and microwaved mashed banana? [sic]" it was pretty clear that they were referring to their penis, yet they continued to claim "it’s a cylinder," in the comment section. this lead to comments like "it is imperative that the cylinder […] remains unharmed," in response to people’s advice of cutting the m&m tube.

it's going to be very interesting to see which aspects of 196 culture are going to survive the tumblr migration, and which aspects won't be applicable on this site.

i'm obviously not the ultimate scholar on 196 lore. if i’ve missed or left out anything, or said something wrong, please comment it.
