Honestly, every single time the whole 'poppy playtime is a bendy rip-off' stuff ever shows up I find it all extremely unconvincing and silly.

For one thing, rip-off usually is meant to imply that it's a cheap lazy copy of a better more polished thing, and uh. Sorry but even from chapter 1? Poppy Playtime is a better game than Bendy, it has a simple but understandable story, the game manages to be thrilling, creepy, and very intense at times... I mean that Huggy chase in the vents ALONE puts it way above Batim for me.

I mean BATDR had the most slow stupid chase I've ever seen [and every other encounter with the ink demon is text telling u he's there and then a timer goes down and u get jumpscared] and batim's chases were either silly or just not nearly as theatric or terrifying as that.

When making the vent sequence I mean not only is it absolutely horrifying to realize how fast Huggy is in there but also it's so theatric and cool? The fact that you round a corner after thinking you escaped only to see a terrifying animation of that thing crawling toward you is awesome! I wish Bendy had stuff like that!

And all the stuff it shares with Bendy are generic things Bendy ripped from other horror games/media anyways. I'm not saying Poppy Playtime isn't inspired by Bendy I for sure think it is but Bendy is such a generic story that somehow fails to do tropes 100 other horror games have done any comparison only makes Poppy Playtime look better.

"It has employees being sacrificed for their company" That is not a concept Bendy invented, literally look at any of the sci-fi horror series Bendy is very inspired by. This is literally a twist in the original Alien.

"It has a scary woman forcing you to do tasks for her" Once again, not a concept Bendy invented, a scary mysterious person forcing you to do fetch-quests is a concept found in tons of horror media. And at least Poppy Playtime gave you a chase with her and let you defeat her, look at poor malice. She's barely on screen for more than 10 minutes before she gets stabbed.

"It has a cult worshipping the monster" This is something tons of horror games and media have done too. I mean In The Tall Grass has a guy who worships a giant magical rock in the middle of a grass maze, Bioshock [which Bendy has only been taking more and more direct inspiration from while failing to grab any of the compelling parts] also had a lot of themes of religion and cult-ish behavior, almost every horror media franchise has at one point done a cult thing.

Bendy couldn't even come up with a reason Sammy worships the ink demon, the best motivation we've ever gotten is just that 'he's crazzyyyy the ink made him insaneeee'. Who is the cheap rip-off here?

At least Poppy Playtime gave their cultist a motive for worshipping the monster + a proper boss fight that feels intense and looks awesome! Bendy didn't even let you kill Malice [she got stabbed in front of you and then just collapsed on the floor how thrilling] meanwhile you get to kill three of the villains in Poppy Playtime and the gameplay and action in those scenes have only gotten better as the game went on.

I mean Sammy walks into a room and goes "AAA SCARY I'M BEING MURDERED" then later shows up and for NO REASON sees a normal human man and assumes it's the ink demon before once again someone else kills him for you. In Poppy Playtime you defeat Catnap as he floods the world with this horrible nightmare-inducing gas that intensifies the color palette and his design. Fight off versions of him that are illusions that you need your flare gun for, then watch in a wonderful animation as he mistakes the monster for his savior before getting killed by it, in a brutal way I might add, which game are we accusing of being cheap, lazy garbage again?

I just find this argument to be people who Really Really need to find a reason to hate Poppy Playtime which I think is silly. The devs being weird, shady people is already enough reason to dislike the game, you don't need to invent reasons why secretly every part of the game is malicious or bad. But esp when I see Bendy fans saying they don't support Poppy Playtime or dislike it bc of its devs or even saying its cringe ummmm.

I have bad news about the fact Bendy's devs are worse and it took not one, but TWO over an hour long videos to cover it all. Plus the Bendy games are just the worse games in every aspect, if I could sell my batim copy for a copy of Poppy Playtime I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Saying this as a bendy fan, we have no right to be super judgy towards Poppy Playtime. If Poppy Playtime is embarrassing cringe, Bendy is too and is way more embarrassing of an interest. We shouldn't spread misinformation just because we all want to hate Poppy Playtime, you can dislike Poppy Playtime without making up a bunch of nonsense to justify it.

Honestly seeing people just blatantly be unfairly mean to Poppy Playtime only makes its critics look worse and makes it hard to take any backlash to the games seriously. Because surprise surprise if you spread misinformation to make a point people will quickly stop listening to Anything you have to say bc they won't trust you're telling the truth anymore.

#feel free to reblog but Im not gonna tag this its way too rambley at least for my taste to go in the main tags #ramblez #also man can I say I didnt want to make this post super long but theres so many other points I could make in poppys favor #the fact we got to see the hour of joy and it was terrifying we dont even know if joey actually killed anyone anymore #the gameplay itself is more diverse and fun then batim which is a walking simulator that pretends to have fighting n stealth mechanics #at least Poppy n Missys friendship gives u a reason to care for missys safety before shes put in danger #Missy can actually express unlike Boris who sits there looking cute with no proper expressions until he gets yoinked and ur supposed to car #bc he was uh adorable? And therefore you spend an entire chapter tryna get him and get an extremely bad boss fight in return- #also soundtrack wise I like poppys tracks more theyre unique and fun and you can tell which part of the game they come from #bendy has so many dramatic reveal stingers and tracks that are really hard to tell which part of the game they come from #bertrums boss fight has my favorite theme bc its so specifically crafted for him and unique and meanwhile Norman has one of the worst imo #a lot of Bendys soundtrack if I played it for you right now it would be hard to guess where its from bc it all kinda sounds the same #the reveal music for the machine for bendy land for heavenly toys for alices domain all sound the same x_x #its just so frustrating but yeah my point is can we all stop making up new reasons to shit on poppy playtime its just kinda dumb #it feels less like actual criticism and at this point just feels like elaborate justification for cringe culture which I hate #okay thats it bye sorry this is 10 pages long-

i know love triangles are a contentious topic but sometimes a love triangle shoujosei manga will create the best most pathetic wonderfully embarassing little man BUT he's only this good Because theres a love triangle that gave him that character arc. or sometimes they'll give you the greatest gal pal on earth but only after she tries to kill the main character because they both have a crush on the same guy. i understand love triangles can be frustrating but sometimes they are. a necessary evil

#this is about mashimo from 200m saki no netsu. highly recommend its a great manga #i love that the main character wants a sub boyfriend so bad. i hope she gets it #actually specifically. i hope she gets two. i really adore her relationship with 40 year old puppy man hirara. but also #mashimo gets more and more embarassing and pathetic each chapter and i really love him. come on mashimo we can throuple this #im sure hirara would be down hes probably experimented in his 40 years. we can throuple this #but for real honestly i dont mind love triangles. tbh most of the hate for em seems to come from like #fans of ya novels and stuff so i understand. i also didnt really like the way love triangles were written in most ya novels i read in #middle school either. but i like em in shoujo manga i think they can be like #hilarious or sometimes really dramatic and tense or sometimes goofy as hell #or sometimes you desperately want all three to get together. and sometimes it makes the most embarrassing guy on earth <3 #mashimo youre such a dumbass <3 <3 <3 i want to see your downfall so bad #NOT because hes bad or anything hes a kind character i just want to see him dissolve into the saddest pile of embarrassment on earth #awesome character type. i hope kikka gets to see him like this more too im sure she would enjoy it #losing in a love triangle really is a great way to build character LOL

current state of politics really got me swerving wildly between "yes I want to present as a man" and "oh god is this even worth it maybe I'm not even really trans" and it's bringing me to my limit

#damien.txt #sorry its like 5 am and i havent slept and wanna vent so. here inam #i really do be having a wild time bc ill have like. weeks at a time where ill be like. wait a second. what if im not trans actually #okay well. never in a 'im 100% not trans' way but in a 'maybe i shouldnt transition' way #and then ill have a day where i wake up and go. oh. i think that feeling is just coming from fear about. the current state of trans issues #because oh my FUCKING GOD am i scared like 24/7 bc of that shit #and so like. then im like. maybe i really am like. actually transmasc. fr. bc i like. literally have been feeling it my whole life. #and then i wake up a couple weeks later back at the beginning like hmm....... but..... what if.... #and im so tired of not knowing!! it's fucking exhausting questioning what the fuck is happening w me every 2 seconds #and im being dramatic abt it but idk. i think its a symptom of neurodivergence or something bc im like. so so scared abt being trans atm #at a level that is. certainly unhealthy. #and it really feels like something that is inhibiting me from doing things in life which is like. upsetting y'know! #but at the same time. the concept of going thru life as my birth gender is... bad. sort of inconceivable at this point. #and this is particularly hard bc like. really going back and forth on making decisions abt taking T. bc when i get in these spirals #abt maybe not being trans. i get the urge to not take it. but like. i cant fluctuate w a medicine like that that much! #but at the same time when i go back to being like oh yeah transmasc... my brain is like cool. take T again. so. fuck me i guess. #idk man. im just like. i just want to live my life without being perceived by others actually #my true gender is no one's business <3 thanks #i am. tired.

me: maybe they hate me but I don't care

me: okay maybe I do care

--- but I'm not going to let it affect me

and I'm going to pretend like I don't care and that nothings wrong and that I'm completely fine

me: *realizes everything's actually okay and that people's opinions won't affect your life as much as you think they do*

fake it till you make it.

its okay 😭

the more you harden your face and brush it off, the easier it becomes to live in a judgmental society. practice makes perfect. practice not caring about opinions of others that are irrelevant to your life.

#word vomit #dont mind me im just being dramatic #its actually not that bad lol #im just in the mood to talk like this and magnify #my feelings #even if they're irrational and im p sure no one #actually hates me #TT #cause i didn't do anything wrong #so i have nothing to feel sorry about #and if someone doesnt like that or doesnt like me for reasons that aren't important #then thats their problem

Tbh ppl here are so weird about tiktok users

#like yes tiktok bad and its kind of funny when ppl say things to get around an algorithm that doesn’t exist on here #but ppl being like ‘if youve ever said unalive I never want to talk to you’ need to get some perspective #like… they were on a platform where they had to say that shit sometimes to talk about things #they were the ppl being censored and thats how they got around it #(it wasnt just used for ‘im gonna unalive myself’ jokes ya know? its also used to talk about police killing ppl which tiktok often censors) #(like it was used to talk about important issues to spead information in a way that would get around censorship) #why are you acting like its their fault?? that does absolutely nothing to hurt tiktok?? and you are just kicking someone while they are down #just inform them that they dont have to do that #stop assuming you’re smarter than everyone I promise you are not <3 #also anyone saying tiktok doesn’t actually censor things and its just users being dramatic is lying #or is spreading misinfo #cmon ppl use your brains #YouTube has ‘protections’ for users speech that it breaks all the time we know this #it is inconsistent with who it does and does not censor #why would you think tiktok is any different? #of course the Washington post doing a ‘study’ isnt going to get censored because its a well known company #and censoring THEM would be massively reported and make tiktok look bad #not to mention the possibility that it was a mutually beneficial ‘test’ #tiktok would get a massive news company ‘disproving’ all the alligations of censorship #which is good for bezos who ownes the WP because people post videos of Amazon’s work place violations that get taken down #and now they’ll look less reliable if they talk about censorship which will then make everything they say seem less reliable

I read your tags on you Boone theory and I completly agree. I used to SH as a teen and young adult in college and I hate that everytime I see rep somewhere, it's a 'woe is me' sad teenage girl who cries while doing so and makes it dramatized as hell when if someone has actually gone through that, it's a casual thing like putting water on to boil. I'd love for once if it was mentioned by a character like Boone, talked about a bit as a tender topic in the past but something learned from, and then never used as something to pick him apart. Nothing like 'What if he does it again? He's fragile and I need to keep him with me to protect him'. As soon as things similar are brought up in a narrative, that's all the writers and Fandom seem to associate the character with and I'd love for Boone to be the outlier and the rep we deserve. Sorry for the rant/ agressive agreement, I'm really passionate about this from my past and Boone being my favorite character in any media.

I'm so glad someone agrees with me on this!

You make a great point with the fact that the fandom (and game developers, truthfully) tends to cling onto characters problems and not focus on anything else. Cait does DRUGS, and Preston is SUICIDAL, and like 10 different characters have DEAD WIVES and the rest of their personality gets forgotten about or overshadowed.

This tends to come naturally due to characters not having much time for plot development, hence why "Cait does drugs" is focused on a lot more often than "Nick has a dead wife", even though those are both the main points of their personal quest. Nick just has way more screen time and thus more personality traits and life experiences for the fandom to cling on to. Cait has 1900 dialogue lines and Nick has 2600 including Far Harbor, just to put it into perspective.

It almost makes me glad the idea of Boone's self harm never gets verbally brought up in game because I know it wouldn't be treated the way it should. Boone is stoic and strong and I know it'd butcher his entire character beyond repair if Bethesda tried to put in a "please stop cutting... for me? 🥺" bit between Six and Boone. Boone isn't a sensitive flower that cries and sheepishly pulls down his hoodie sleeves, he's a grown man who can talk and be talked to like an adult.

If Boone self harming ever did become canon the only way I could see the game dealing with it is the same way you mentioned - "a casual thing like putting water on to boil", because that's how Boone would view it. In a perfect world Boone would have scars visible on his arm that Six could bring up and the conversation would be as curt as literally everything else he says. Something like "Yeah, I used to cut myself. I stopped, though." It doesn't need to be any more than that, really.

It would mean the WORLD to me as someone who's been self harming for seven years now to see truly normal, CASUAL representation. My entire life I've had to cling onto dramatic or romanticized stories of self harm, the whole "she drew a picture on her wrist with a razor as her pen..." garbage just to see myself in any sort of fiction. Googling questions just to get hit with "Is your teen daughter self harming?" as the top results. I cannot think of a SINGLE character in media with visible self harm scars at all, not to mention ones whos self harm is treated respectfully.

At the very least I wish Boone self harming was a more common headcanon. It's hinted at in game and it would be the perfect representation if handled correctly

#SORRY FOR THIS BEING SO LONG! #i just have Many Thoughts on it #it would be different if there was literally any rep anywhere. or if it was normal to hc characters as self harmers #but its such a 'touchy' topic that only ever gets written correctly by actual self harmers #i feel like people would think im insane if i dropped something like 'danse cuts btw' into my headcanon list #when in reality sh is NORMAL. I walk around with short sleeves irl and thats okay and not weird or bad. #and if someone brings up my scars i do not start dramatically sobbing and telling them all my hardships #theres a huge difference between 'something being normal' and 'normalizing something bad' that non self harmers tend not to get #fnv #cw self harm #tw self harm #ask to tag

[thisgodwontforgiveyou]

i mean im overanalyzing waht is clearly a completely throwaway sequence on their development docket which is insane given its what final fantasy fans consider the most important and insane and epic part of the whole game EVAR!!!!! but um. well i think i can safely say i dont think this is a game made by people who respect their fans very much

#by god they shouldnt like they shouldnt they absolutely shouldnt its absolutely #the correct stance towards ff7 fans to take its just also having bizarre and annoying consequences to trying to experience this game as #just like. a game on its own terms knowing i dont have any more to play after this is done #like the insane aerti sequence around the plate collapse was clearly the only part of the dramatic story #not based around sephiroth having sex with cloud they actually really enjoyed making so far #but unfortunately i am kind of one of the guys who thinks jenova is Bad. Ass. and im as a result kind of mad at this part of the game #i like the blood tho :)
