#because i'm damn excited

[sheyhem]

Just got a letter informing me that my good friend Jonathan is going on a business trip to Transylvania in a bit under two weeks! I'm sure he will have a wonderful time on his travels! Can't wait to hear all about it through his letters!

#dracula daily #dracula #re: dracula #jonathan harker #artists on tumblr #digital art #i found 'bite' on spotify and listening to it on loop gave me the inspiration to draw #i'm so damn excited for re: dracula and dracula daily this year #can you tell #also here you can see the shey sheyhem trademark: every drawing of a character having a different design because i'm indecisive #might stick to this one in the future if i draw jonathan again #my art #shey art #also sorry if the quality is wack but changing a 300dpi file to 144dpi has that effect #and i don't trust uploading full quality files of my art lmao #'for so if time be long queue may be delayed; and it will not matter when the sun set'

The fact that Despair Time CH2's one year anniversary is this month is crazy to me

#late january to early april was basically the highlight of my 2023 purely because of DRDT #Every friday was like a damn celebration #I remember sitting in the corner of my room in shock after CH2-11's cliffhanger #I really hope DRDT comes back this year (no rush to the dev obviously I'm just excited lmao) #danganronpa despair time #drdt #haru chats about drdt

“Oh, that’s a big tree,” Margaret observes, coming up so quick behind Buck he nearly scrambles out of his skin. She laughs it off. “The living room is already full. Where’s it going to go?”  Eddie smiles. “Bend over and I’ll show you,” he says, rubbing Buck’s shoulder when he inevitably bursts into a coughing fit at hide a bark of laughter.  She frowns. “Excuse me?”  “I didn’t say anything,” he replies, shrugs, and turns to face Buck. “I think if we go in through the backdoor, it’d be easier. We don’t have to move the table or take any photos off the wall.”  Buck, red-faced from holding back his laughter, nods. “Perfect idea, sweetheart.”

Please do share the notes with us 👀

Okay, let me transcribe *exactly* word for word what I wrote down in my journal for you all (Again, bear in mind that my bestie and I have NOT finished the game yet, so this isn't the full list, I will be adding more):

(The whole dialogue exchange between Henry and Brenner when Henry's getting his tattoo touched up and calls Brenner a parasite because *chef's kiss*)

Orange for Lunch??

Freedom in mind void to ability suppression

Windows

Russian Spies?

Losing Control of the hivemind?

Eleven makes him emotional?

Control over the hivemind is fickle?

"Creepy Henry" by the other kids

Mind Flayer bullies him

Using the hivemind to hunt for Eleven

"Obsession is how you love"

Eating dinner away from the rest of the family as a child

Comic books

Eggs?

Flies around like Spider-Man with the vines

Corpses = Trophies

Spiders = Muse

Mind Flayer communicates to Henry with Brenner's voice

"Most human thing about him" is feeling time

"Tied down like your mother" ??

Physically inside brains?

Obsession with the past

Obsession the only way he can connect

Influence only goes as far as the corruption

Ants? Spiders eat ants?

Chapter 2 says November 1983

Mind Flayer wants to devour everything

Will the key

Chapter 3 The Possession of Will Byers

Vecna in communication with Will

Manipulates Will's memories?

"I understand you more than anybody else"

Can possess technology?

Sows seeds of doubt

"You'll finally matter to someone, Will"

Fascinated by environment (nerd)

Mind Flayer absorbs Henry's memories

Studies Henry

Brenner said he'd take the chip out

Stole some of the Flayer's power?

Mind Flayer is a DICK

Keeps escaping Mind Flayer's influence

Rewarded for hurting things

Saw Eleven like a sister - "Alice"

Eleven was the "replacement?"

Mind Flayer deadass pulls out a "rate your emotions" chart

Henry corrupts the Upside Down

We stopped in the middle of the memory nexus loop since the headset was dying and it was getting late, but that's what I've written down so far. I'll update this once we finish the game and then maybe come up with a more comprehensive analysis post.

#as you can tell my train of thought is interesting #the notes don't accurately portray the wide array of thoughts I had but I tried #i'm so excited to finish the game but it likely won't be for a couple days because 'somebody' has shit to do apparently #i'd have written down more visual details but the stream feed was like looking at a damn mosaic picture it was so grainy #also here's where i'm gonna choose to praise jcb's voice work becayse GYAT #sir you did not need to say some of those lines the way you did this shit's gonna get clipped so hard #i'm upset that i got butterflies so much #anyways #fishgills speaks #anonymous asks #stranger things #stranger things vr #st vr #stranger things vr game #st vr spoilers #stranger things vr spoilers #stranger things spoilers #henry creel

something I appreciate arcane for above all else is the perspective it takes on violence and change. it would have been so easy for this show to take a ‘violence is never the answer’ stance, wherein silco’s aggression and terrorism only make things worse for the people of zaun and his anger gets in the way of resolution. likewise, it also would’ve been very easy for this show to take a ‘violence is always the answer’ approach, leaning harder on the revolution aspect and taking the stance that compromise with oppressors is always failure. but instead, it approaches these themes with a lot more nuance, showing how violence can both aid and hinder progress, and how brokering peace can often only solve conflict in the short term

this is represented most keenly via vander and silco. we’re positioned to like vander, and his goals are sympathetic; he has an uneasy peace with the enforcers, which keeps the undercity in poverty but saves them from more tyrannical violence. it’s understandable why he wants this, after having lost so much in a previous revolution, but it ultimately hurts the city in the long run. constantly making peace with piltover leads to dissent amongst his own people, and his inaction is the catalyst that allows silco to take over. that puts the people of zaun in even more peril

but silco also represents change. he’s a ruthless kingpin who ravages his own people with shimmer, but the power he holds is what ultimately gives zaun a chance at independence. the council would never have entertained this when vander was in charge, because he bowed to their every whim. by becoming a genuine threat, silco gained bargaining power, and very nearly gained the independence he’d spent years grasping for

I really like that the thing which dooms zaun and piltover’s prospect of peace is not silco’s destructive nature. it’s his benevolence - his love for his daughter, who he refuses to give up. but on the other side of this, it is jinx’s violence that ultimately shatters any chance of peace between the two nations, when she makes the decision to attack the council

there are just so many layers to it, and this theme is present in more than just silco and vander’s characters too. we see how horrified jayce is when he accidentally - but brutally - kills a child in the undercity, but we also know that the council’s ongoing negligence towards zaun kills far more children, and he was happy to ignore that for years. we see how heimerdinger cautions against developing hextech for fear of the destruction it could cause, yet ignores the day-to-day suffering that hextech might alleviate, because he is privileged enough to turn away from it.

arcane is one of very few stories that successfully takes a big-picture look at how violence and peace are not necessarily polar opposites, and how sometimes brokering a peace to maintain an oppressive system is the most violent thing you can do. it manages to capture the nuances of how violence can both help and hinder a cause, without ever giving us an easy answer of how to resolve things. i love it so much and I hope that complexity carries through into the next season

#arcane #i just finished watching it for the second time and damn it really just is so good #that final episode is incredible #i'm glad silco died at the end of season 1 because it's the perfect arc for him #but I don't think any villian in future could ever be as good #there are lots of things that are good about arcane obviously #but silco is just so /integral/ to the story and he gives it so much intrigue #i've made peace with the fact that season 1 will probably always be the best one #but i'm excited for the future of arcane either way

Woah...

Uhhh...

Okay Wow brain reboot please what the fuck

This... This might have awaken something in me????

Truth be told I've never been sexually attracted to something (idk if it's I'm on the ace spectrum or just lack of experience or whatever, trying to figure that out) even with guys or celebrities that I find good looking, including Nick as himself, who is fucking gorgeous

But my first reaction upon seeing this was

1, to throw my phone onto the bed and laugh, shouting "HELLO SLUT"

2, think "I wanna straddle him and bite his lip off"

... Yeah so I guess that's a thing now thanks George!

#mary and george #george villiers #nicholas galitzine #“the seducer” DAMN RIGHT #I feel complicated about M&G because of me missing what RWRB could have had #But ultimately put that aside I'm freaking excited

[niinnyu]

With the constant change in the itafushi pictures in the ed in recent episodes, pictures that are taken by none other than The Kugisaki Nobara, I'll explode if they do a big change after that episode.

#like idk taking out all the pictures she took? #or maybe itll be only pictures she took #idk man I'm already dreading it #its been so nice with her around (as much as she is) #but im also excited because damn i love her and shes so cool #yeah.. hope I'm wromg tho #heh #kugisaki nobara #itadori yuuji #fushiguro megumi #tokyo trio #jjk spoilers #jujutsu kaisen spoilers #no nickel for niinnyu's thoughts

Okay so after reading a bunch of theories on Deep Cover and rewatching the MV about 30 times, my only coherrant thought is that I want Kotoko Yuzuriha to be fucking okay

#haru chats about milgram #She really do be thinking that there is no going back huh #that killing that serial killer cursed the rest of her life and that she can only be this huh #I was excited for her in Trial 3 but now I'm just afraid #I know that none of these guys are going to get a happy ending. At best they'll get a bittersweet one #But there is zero happy ending in sight for Kotoko because she literally refuses to let herself have one #And that makes me so??? damn sad??? #Honestly the only hope I have now is that she doesn't die but I honestly can't even feel safe believing that #In fact from a narrative perspective I think she is the character that would make the most sense to die at the end of all of this #And that scares me !!! Jesus Christ !! #milgram project #milgram #kotoko yuzuriha #yuzuriha kotoko #milgram kotoko

[running-in-the-dark]

so I'm feeling kinda not great again. and since I'm trying to learn from my past mistakes, I'm going to get myself some food now. don't feel hungry but I didn't last night either and it was still the problem. so. hope it works again!

#it's so damn weird. #I got really used to being hungry all the time but since I stopped taking the antidepressant I was on it's gone back to how it was before #basically I just don't feel hungry until I get super dizzy from it #so I guess I need to get used to eating on a schedule or something because otherwise I just don't. #I'm so damn excited about moving into our apartment. then I can finally eat what I want whenever I want again without being scared #well. we won't have a kitchen at first. but we'll have a fridge and stuff like that so while I can't have ANYTHING I want at least there'll #be SOMETHING #personal

#joel mchale #ken jeong #animal control fox #animal control #community nbc #community #sarah chalke #krystal smith #sarah chalke is playing yazmin #frank's ex who ghosted him #i'm probably the only person who cares but i'm so excited that we get to meet yazmin #figured we would since frank said her name when he first mentioned her #i don't know anything about sarah chalke but she's actually age appropriate for a damn change #and i'm just gonna start the #frank x roman #tag now because i'm gonna ship them and you just have to deal with it ok

[yoinkschief]

Whiteboard dump baby Been a minute :)

The lil guy who isn't Fartlord on the left is Emel :) I should post more about him soon, he's... kinda? relevant? to a semi-recent post of mine, once I explain him you'll understand

And the Edd to the right there is, you guessed it, from another AU living rent free in my head

For the most part all of the AUs I talk about are things that have either been in my head since I got back into the fandom in 2020 or since I first got in the fandom in... jeez when was it, some late 2010s, probably 14 or 15, I know it was before The End and all that, but yeah this has kinda been a meme in my head since 2017? 18? The "Join My Emo Band AU", is literally what I call it because of the meme "quit you job and join my emo band" and that conversation happening between Tom (the "leader"? of the band, the guy who formed it to begin with basically) to Tord (the newcomer they need cause none of them can sing,,, save for Matt but that's opera because his mom hates him or something I guess, not exactly fitting of their skapunk tone)

I have too many thoughts in my head about this god forsaken show and too much energy yet not enough ability to get it out my head

#reading that last bit back #definitely an ADHD thing #too much energy #not enough ability to sit still for five damn minutes and keep my train of thought SQUARELY on the task #no i gotta get ahead of myself and lose motivation because I'm getting too excited about what could be #ugh #anyway #jay draws #stromboli whiteboard #OC #emel #fartlord #fartlord romano #furutre fartlord #wtfuture fartlord #grimace shake #eddsworld #ew #ew edd #edd #art #fanart #i can't draw drums I'm sorry

When I started playing the new Final Horizon update I was expecting pure fun playing as Amy, Knuckles and Tails all while getting new story and a better final boss.... I wasn't expecting I was signing up for extra hard mode that made me feel very drained despite my setting being clearly set to normal difficulty.

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic #sonic frontiers #Sonic frontiers final horizon #I am bad at games I know this and can admit it #Sonic fans really don't deserve the wonderful treatment the Sonic Team has been giving up lately frfr #But Imma need them to tune this shit DOWN #I enjoyed playing as Amy Knuckles and Tails but I was excited to get back to Sonic admittedly #Mainly because I was of course familiar with him while I wasn't with the others #I thought I could go ahead and get the map all completed and do a lil cyberspace before I did the first tower #What I wasn't expecting was to get stuck trying to do my one and first CyberSpace level over and over because I kept failing #I mainly just kept failing at the last bit because it was falling platforms and they give you such little space and time that I cant handle #When i gave up on that i decided focus on the map then so I'll really know where I'm going and all that #Turns out the challenges to get your map filled up were also made to be just ridiculous #I gave up at a fuckin ball and hoop challenge because shit feels so inconsistently annoying #Not to mention the guardian i fought beforehand because Sonic actually has stats #Maxed out ones even #Now i know this one is definitely more of a skill issue on my part I'm sure but #I have max defense and I was at 999 rings #Bro i got down to under 100 rings during that damn fight cause i didn't know the right time to attack #I can be short tempered ngl shsh so shit has definitely brought my mood down and I'll probably actually watch the rest of the story #I really don't want to put myself through all that and more some it drains me more than having fun #Props to those who have fun with it #I cannot and I admire their strength amd determination #Plus I'm already seeing people talking about the towers you need to do with Sonic being absolute pains #Last time I saw that was with The End fight which the game took pity on me with how many times I died #Just uyguggugh #Whole ass rant in the tags #I'm tired and I do hope the new story full on is good and redeems what we had before
