#mlp #My Little Pony #g1 #g2 #g3 #g3.5 #g4 #g4.5 #g5 #I had to think about this a while #personally my answer is no they are not dolls #it's true they were designed to be played with 'as if' they were dolls #like they are portrayed as intelligent creatures who talk #not mere pets #but that is also the case with Fluppy Dogs and Pound Puppies: they talked and even had fashion packs #and they are always called stuffed animals not dolls #I had a bunch of little cheap plastic zoo animals growing up (you know the kind) #and I gave them human personalities and imagined them talking and having adventures #but I wouldn't consider them dolls; I'd call them animal figures or just 'plastic animals' #to me 'doll' implies human or at least human looking (could be an alien or a monster or have a dog head like Pinkie Cooper etc) #but most importantly if someone says 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into My Little Ponies' #you instantly understand what they mean #whereas if someone said 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into Barbie' you'd be like 'wait what'

Insane to me when ppl criticize a mystery series having mysteries left “unfinished” at the end. Girl, it’s not “unfinished” it’s setting shit up for later, and, as someone joining in on a mystery series, you signed up for that being a possibility.

#aa opinions that annoy me #aa4 and dgs1 are not ‘unfinished’ they were meant to focus on a certain arc and set up things for a separate arc #aa4 just got shafted because capcom demanded an aa5 while Shu Takumi was too busy to write it but that’s not aa4s fault #and if you still feel that way about dgs1 knowing that it gets tied up it dgs2 youre insane #I can understand finding it worrying because of things that happen like the aa4 to aa5 transition #because gaming companies have ruined your trust #but to call it bad writing when you are playing a game you are well aware is part of a series #just sounds really short sighted #because the only alternative is to either simplify the story till it has lost so much that it isn’t the same anymore #or to haphazardly rush everything in one game #which would again take away a lot of other things and it would feel cheap #——— #DGS 1 & 2 spoilers coming up #Like say whatever you want about the pacing of dgs1 #(I loved it personally personally) #but so much of dgs2 would NOT have fucking hit the way it did without the character explorations in 1 and the time given to stew #If you think Kazuma dying in like episode 1 before we can get to know him at all #and then rushing Ryunosuke’s grief (which now surrounds a guy we arent nearly as endeared to) identity crisis and character development #through 1-2 1-3 and 1-4 so that you can get to a case 5 where ‘WHOAH that guy we dont know is back’ #and then rush through the ruinion and brewing tension and explainations that were in 2-4 and 2-5 now into one case #…is somehow better than properly exploring Ryuu’s growth and the people & relationships he makes along the way #while ​letting Kazuma haunt the narrative for a good chunk of the games before suddenly being there again but not how we remember #than…idk what to say

That said we have no morals or standards if we get paid enough for something so if you drop us something like $3 on Ko-fi then we are available to hash out details and we will have a go at just about Literally Anything.

#we speak #unless it is by someone we have previously interacted with and thus may consider a friend or something like a valued reviewer/neighbor #in which case we will at least try to have things like standards #because we do not particularly want to have time and money spent on a subpar product #which also means that our Range Of What We Will Do narrows just to things we're confident we can do but. not much to be done abt that #you can hire us for things that are wildly outside of our general stuff and we may not be good at it but we will try #we're currently on a few hundred bucks a month and a lot of that goes into things like food so we do appreciate the extra money #we dislike the “im trans and disabled give me money” things because it really feels like using it as cheap leverage for diversity points #and we don't really feel like being the kind of person that you donate to in order to feel better about yourself #if you're giving us money then it better be for your own damn self-indulgence in whatever you're ordering from us #we should be the sort of frivolous payment that is rightfully considered a questionable financial decision #people are already paying us for being disabled and unemployed. please do not put yourself on the level of the government. #be better. only give us money for the sake of extremely frivolous personal purchases that will temporarily brighten your day.

my toxic trait is I keep spending money even tho i JUST lost my full time job bc I just think "whatever I'll get another"

#tbh my main concern is actually ny insurance right now. my rent is shockingly cheap and ive been saving for a long time #specifically in case of an incident like this so i know i will be ok its just probably gonna be tight and is definitely a setback #but im really concerned about getting medicaid bc missouri is like very famously bad about #like. we were one of the only states that refused expansion under the ACA until a few years ago when we passed a referendum on it #like with flying fucking colors. not a close vote at all we decided to expand medicaid. and josh hawley threw a fit about it #and they refused to add any money to the health care budget until they were forced to comply basically #and a bit ago there was a whole big thing where they fucked some shit uo and purged thousands of people over night from the system #so these people just suddenly had no insurance. anyway wish me luck lmfao! with that or getting a job in Colorado which would also be cool

I really love how some double life people decide that soulbound pairs share injuries, not just damage, because it means that scar really went ‘wow my eye hurts and is bleeding ig’ and then looked over at grian and went this guy can’t possibly be my soulbound while acknowledging that they had the exact same injury.

Like, it’s not that he only glanced at grian, he CANONICALLY NOTICES AND COMMENTS ON GRIAN HAVING AN ARROW IN HIS EYE.

and with this headcanon he’s looking at the most obvious sign ever, LITERALLY THE UNIVERSE POINTING A BIG BLINKING BILBOARD SAYING ‘THIS GUY IS YOUR SOULMATE’ AND HE GOES ‘hmm. that’s a weird coincidence. really fun idea to build over the outpost tho...’

#double life smp #goodtimeswithscar #desertduo #mcyt #so you're telling me this man couldn't tell that grian was his soulmate #but immediately sussed out grian having a secret soulmate??? #the duality of scar #if scar were a detective #he'd be the kind of guy to have one case where he only figured it out because the guy pretty much told on himself #and another where it's the hardest case ever and was mind bogglingly difficult for viewers and he goes #'i knew it from the moment they walked in.' #and these episodes happen consecutively (the more difficult case happened first) #and the fandom isn't even like 'oh that one was cheap >:C ' or 'my brain hurt pls make it super obvious again' they just accept it. #they're like 'oh that's just the charm <3'

"free two day shipping" but three shipping days later we're still at "label created"

#improving #I caved and bought an otterbox for my phone because #the phone I use is so unpopular that the only cases I can find are cheap breakable ones and a black otterbox #also according to ob the two genders are: black and pink #which is annoying needless to say #anyway I already bought a popsocket and my hands hurt. please give me my case now

I know I have a severe case of dematillomania and trichotillomania bc I think ab getting surgical tools like multiple times a year when I have a particularly stubborn DEEP hair

#marquilla #i need: localized anesthetic. tiiiiiny scalpel. tiiiiiny hemostats. tiiiiny clamps. okay mostly i want a scalpel #ive thought ab using an exacto blade more than once. only thing stopping me is the probability of hitting an artery or blood vessel :/ #it's too high. my fear of blood is severely diminished when im digging out a hair but it comes back when i see a gush from digging too far #well the pain also stops me i should add that. but mostly the blood vessel thing #i know i have a severe case but i dont intend on stopping bc none of the suggested coping mechanisms and alternatives help me #listen man it's this or smoking. i need something and this does less damage to my body #i can have a little self destructive coping mechanism as a treat #it'd be drinking if i could stomach alcohol. too self aware/cheap to do drugs. seriously consider smoking hence why this is my alternative #and why i dont talk to my therapists ab it anymore. and im too not poor but uhhh financially aware? to gamble #like ive gambled at carnivals lol and my mom will play this one game for hours if we let her (which is funny bc throughout my childhood the #guy running that booth every year was our neighbor we had beef with. we preteneded to not know each other during the carnival agsgdgdggd #i seriously consider smoking like 6x a year but the cosmetic damage (yellow teeth. yellow brittle nails. whatever the hell it does to fuck #up your skin) are more heavy deterrents than the health aspects. also im cheap and hate the smell of smoke sgdgdggd so lucky me huh? #so i need SOME unhealthy coping mechanism so this is better than the other options. besides this is KEEPING me from those so..

when the plot developments hit just ✨wrong✨

#can’t believe the 2k24 plot has progressed to the point where the weekend has ended… s i g h #i don’t want the weekend to eeeeeeeeeenddddddddd #wasted yet another weekend reading a facepalm-worthy manhwa. i want my weekend back </3 #m an. the main plot point of that manhwa was just the entitled af sister poisoning everyone and evading consequences until the end #seriouslyyyyyyy first she poisoned the fl，then she tried to poison the fl’s husband (who was also her lover) #then she poisoned herself to bid farewell to her affair child. and th e n she poisoned her dad too bc he said no to her marrying the emperor #and *then* she poisoned the emperor himself with potato sprouts while trying to poison the fl *again* #and t h e n she was roped into a cheap plot to off the emperor by stabbing him with a poisoned needle by a (very meta tbh) guy #i mean. guy handed her the needle and was like ‘ok do what you’ve always been doing and poison the emperor for me.’ and she went ‘ok’ #and they had the 2 most pointless brother characters i’ve ever seen. #first bro was some 15 y.o. affair child bro of the fl’s first husband who p much just existed to inherit the husband’s estate #and the second bro was the affair child bro of the emperor: a perfectly nice young man who was unfairly hated by said emperor #and. like. l o l. the 2 pointless bros were like the only likeable characters in the entire story and they barely appeared in it #the first husband had every single possible undesirable trait a man could have rolled up into a single guy #and the emperor had a wafer-thin backbone and a mad case of babyface. like. the 15 year old boy looked older than him h e y #and the fl was somehow both a skilled opportunist and a master of missing opportunities at the same time #and man. the fl had just a single (1) maid who looked like tomoya enstrs (but with a bob cut) #i don’t even remember the maid’s name; i just called her ‘bob tomoya’. sorry for the slander tomochin you’re a cool dude #i’ve never seen a main cast as unlikeable as this one lmao. i mean. at least the [redacted] anime had juri #the plot was a pointless mess in general too. it went from 100 to 10000 in no time flat for no reason at all #it kinda felt like they were just throwing plot twists for the sake of throwing plot twists #and ofc the fl successfully resolved every problem that came her way bc o f c she did. flashtag girlboss and all ig #but the best part of it all (imo) was the improperly placed jewellery assets. they aren’t even angled consistently across progressive panels #they aren’t even shaded either. just plopped on there. it really takes you out of the setting esp if it’s during a serious scene #i liked how i kept getting an ad about cheating in marriages while reading it though. it really added to the experience #i’d rate that series a 2/10: needs more assets and half brothers #time to find a new overy melodramatic telenovella-esque series to binge next weekend ig… last week’s was better thoughhhh #at least that one had the villainess experience her downfall as consequences of her own actions and it was quite satisfying ngl #hm. ​i think i need a new hobby. before the word ‘villainess’ becomes a permanent part of my vocabulary

[simplyghosting]

I own a small amount, decent variety of fabric paint… and I have no idea what to do with it.

#ghost posts #I’ve used it a handful of times to make things for people #but not sure if I’ll use it again #or at least definitely not on those cheap scratchy shirts in the craft department #I am decent at working w it but idk #worst case I guess I could donate it #most of it was given to me by my cousin #I’ve only bought a few colors myself #wish I had photos of the pieces I made they were cute #I only have the concept pieces for them

[puncromancy]

My biggest takeaway from ff16 is that this writer should never be allowed to touch a woman ever again.

Important female characters are all either over the top ridiculously stupid evil, or basically a sad sexy lamp - and both are ultimately just a means to including rape in the story. Because you know. This is dangerous medieval magic Europe, where every girl got raped all the time!

The M rating on this game is actively hurting it.

#don't get me started on the rest of this writing #it's lazy writing #at best #gratuitous time skips instead of dealing with the interesting consequences of our actions #the fact Jill could be a lamp and change nothing #the fact i am pretty sure if it was just clive and torgal the story would be the same just without sadgirl heterobait #like the drake's breath stuff? i thought we'd play as jill they made such a big deal #but no it's another clive battle while fully transformed shiva... makes an ice wall and that's it #criminally under used as a character #she's like cheap knockoff ysayle - with any quality aside from sadgirl chopped off #the outfit is a knockoff and so is all her design #ysayle but shit #frankly at this point i think 15 did a better job - since there was only ONE girl to do wrong #but seriously this game's writing is... bad #ff16 spoilers #i don't know if anyone following me is playing but tag in case

Thisng that are being manifested : kaname changes state (preferably wakes up and maybe joins the cast) during the graduation events very quickly followed by himeru fs2 as they scramble to gather an understanding of themself to project outside of their self imposed role of HiMERU

#as moth ahs been saying to anyone who s willing to talk to thwm for more than 5 minutes um the only way for meru to significantly evolve in #their character arc is for kaname to not be in a coma as himeru is currently just stalling in the grieving process full of regrets that #they cant mourn for obvious reasons but they cant act anyway outside of the preset parameters of HiMERU just in case so they are stuck #they cant move on(?) #bc of the constant cloud of regrets and selfloathing/blame #and um while slowly watching them open up to crazy b is fun and all moth loves fictional characters in intenseemotional distress #and so with kaname waking up you get the relief of well kaname not being almost dead + a very direct callout of himerus plan being fucking #illogical and fueled by the worlds least healthy coping mechanism #+himeru not wanting to sacrifice the relationship theyve made with crazy b + but also just the whole mes s of youve been lying to us for a #year and the mixed feelings that come with that #and and and um moth is tired but majnly they just feel like meru is stalling in their development not really allowed to change almost just #survival instincts #oh and also if kaname dies idk it feels cheap almost like himeru and kanames relationship never gets fixed or atleast flattening out to a #more normal sibling dynamic #bc himeru regrets how they treated kaname and just need them to sort that out #god #moth is sorrybthey are rambling words have been difficult lately #hope this made sense as always #moth chitters #might delete later #oh this is vvvv himeru centric but honestly at this stage we can safely say teh si is specifically on himeru so no otehr characters exist #anyway the younger himeru sprite from obligato is wrong they re not a carbon copy of kaname and and mmm trust mlth they are happy elements

a lot of implausible, off-the-wall shit goes down in AA6 (not all of which is the good flavor of AA ridiculousness but like yes ok, that’s why we’re here) but one thing you absolutely cannot convince me of is that any of these motherfuckers understand anything about civil property disputes

phoenix wright telling the foreign courtroom he just broke into that he has “more than 10 years of experience” (as if he did not spend 7 of those years not practicing because he was, in fact, disbarred for fraud, the exact thing Khura’in’s laws purport to prevent), and expecting that to convince the judge of the trial he is interrupting to let him practice in a country he is not licensed in, has been present in for like an hour and a half, and knows exactly 0 laws of— fine.

phoenix wright reading and executing a contract? no. leave. that man knows one (1) law, and it’s that you’re not allowed to kill people. let go and move on.

#the way that this game is ostensibly about how public opinion can override/obfuscate the truth of things #and how manipulating public opinion can be just as effective as legal guilt or innocence #and this is NOT used as an opportunity to examine what it would actually be like for nick to try and restart his career #after 7 years of being a very public disgrace #astounds me #if you're going to insist on keeping him around as a main character at least do something with him #but also AA5-6 are also p transparently trying to hold AA4 nick under the water until the bubbles stop so what can u do #anyway i would like the civil case much better if it also wasn't a cheap 2-4 imitation #simply bc the notion that either nick or apollo know how any of this works is very funny to me #trucy is the only one in this house that reads contracts and that's a fact #the great ace attorney replay 2k22 #ace attorney spoilers

Extremely niche but extremely good genre of character is ‘shitty legendary hero in isekai/rpg fantasy story who bullies the protagonist & throws him out of the party’

#catching up on beast tamer atm and it’s still as bottom tier as it gets BUT arios is so cute<3 #no character of this type will ever dethrone motoyasu (who btw did nothing wrong in case you’ve forgotten. still so obsessed with him) #but he comes close :3c #someday I’ll watch season 2 of arifureta but i cba to research whether kouki goes thru with his big heel turn in it #and his arc is the only thing I care abt in that show bc he’s such an interesting version of this Type…… #txt #anyways so far ​beast tamer is a lot more watchable tone-wise than a more revenge-focused story like arifureta/shield hero #but i think that’s kind of all for naught because I still definitely come away with the impression that the mc deserves everything #that his original party did to him just bc he’s so unbearable to spend time with lol #so even though the SOL aspect is objectively more tolerable tonally it still ends up being just as bad a viewing experience #though my main fear going into this show (identical premise to shin no nakama = would end up as horrifically bad as that series) #hasn’t actually come to pass… BUT in shin no nakama’s case the SOL/romance was actually pretty good #so when it let me down there was actually somewhere to descend From. whereas beast tamer is in the dirt to begin with #man that show was insane. I’ll never recover from the imouto bullshit ever #anyways.. parting cheap shot… beast tamer still isn’t the worst of this season because Noukin Is Out There… #also ittoki sucks but it’s got more good bad stuff in it. kidou did nothing wrong<3
