ok but I have Thoughts about the way Minecraft usernames translate to actual names, both irl and in fanfic. They’re definitely ‘obsessed with structure and grumpy at inconsistency flavor autism’ thoughts but still. I find it weird how we cut and paste the media we’re given to fit what we view as functional worldbuilding, and how that gets screwy when translating online names.
like, you’re working with several categories here. The person’s actual real name, their irl nickname, their gamer tag, a name possibly contained by or possibly the entirety of that gamer tag, and any extra pieces or symbols in the gamer tag. And you have the weird situation where those categories might not easily translate to a ‘First Name Last Name’ structure. For an example, we’ve got Phil Watson, who’s gamer tag is ‘Ph1LzA,’ and is called Philza Minecraft or Philza. The ‘Minecraft last name’ is a…. Bit? A joke? A reference to a bit of lore? It’s unclear. The ‘Za’ bit was put there for flair and is now an integral part of his name. Sometimes it’s his last name. Sometimes his real last name is chucked in there. the 1 in his actual username is literally never referenced in nicknames or fic it’s like it’s not even there. But that’s a simple one. What about Tubbo_? because we call him Tubbo Underscore. Like. We say the ‘_’ aloud. Why do we do that. What has possessed us to make that decision? What about FitMC? I’ve usually heard it said ‘Fit Emsee.’ Why say that, and not say ‘Minecraft? That’s not even really a last name, it’s just like…. His full first name. Fit is used more like a shortened nickname. BadBoyHalo. Like. ‘Bad boy’ is a slang term, not a name. It would make the most sense to call him Halo, that’s the distinct noun in the name, the term the ‘bad boy’ bit is referring to. Like ‘GoodTimesWithScar’ but noooo. Bad. Halo is usually a last name, if it’s there at all. Skeppy on the other hand is… just his name. No last name ever. Technoblade is also weird. Technoblade is his full name. We call him that. We ALSO call him ‘Techno,’ and use Blade as a last name. We also use Blade as a title. What the heck. GeminiTay. We call her Gem. We use Tay as a last name sometimes. Her name is a Zodiac constellation. Literally nowhere I’m have I seen that affect her naming conventions. IJevin. We just… remove the I. For everything. This wouldn’t bother me except we don’t do it with everyone and I’m starting to get annoyed by the inconsistency. GoodTimesWithScar. Ok. This one also bugs me. Like, most fics call him Scar Goodtimes when they need a name. I’m not gonna dig into it but that’s…. Why? Why that? Grian never gets a last name. Ranboo sometimes gets chopped into Ran and Boo but usually he’s an Underscore or he’s last nameless. Wilbur Soot functions wonderfully (until the get involved shhhh) but it’s too close to his real name it gets very confusing.
anyway, all of this sucks, I hate it all, we’re a terrible fandom /hj
all that nonsense aside, yknow who has a functional Firstname Lastname username? It’s even got a space, and proper capitals: Mumbo Jumbo. That’s who. Look at that. It’s perfect. Everyone should be more like Mumbo Jumbo. Thank you and good night.
.
Edit: I know about Ranboo Beloved and Grian Dreamslayer and the various other characters whose names I didn’t mention perfectly in this post. This was no piece of journalism, this was an old man shouts at cloud meme personified. I was very overstimulated and this was what happened to catch my autistic ire. I’m not upset, just figured I’d clarify, a lot of people seem distressed at my not mentioning Beloved. Hope y’all are having a lovely day 💜

You, good friendo, are my sole source of quality Donnie angst. I struggle to find a better one XD
just a lil thought I wanted to share: I imagine 2012 donnie looks rather similar to Rise Leo when in rise's style, just based off the similar face shape and body lanky-ness.
So imagine if somehow, 2012 Donnie gets trapped in the prison dimension. Like, maybe april is reassembling Donnie from the power inside her episode at the same time that Rise Mikey is closing the portal to the prison dimension, and he kind of gets flip-flopped in space, idk :T
Hes all "what? Huh? When?" And tries to find a way out, but there IS no way out. And he's trapped with a very angry looking Krang.
How do you think Krang Prime would react to this sort off Leo-shaped, confuzzled fellow?
This doesn't need to be answered, it's just a lil idea that's been knocking around in my brain that I wanted to share with you :D
I hate to break it to you but I am legally obligated to answer this.
I unintentionally left open a door between Rise&2012 and I would be remiss to ignore such a treat. Here I thought insane excuses to put Donnie in a world of pain and agony was just how my brain works <3
I AM NOT ALONE
ALSO MY BRAIN IS GOING PLACES
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LIKE I SAW IT AND I COULDN’T UNSEE IT AND SO I DID IT
AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT 🥺🤣😭
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO FEEL AND I LOVE IT
I think that we should consider the fact that Za-Naron is an all-powerful demon alien creature. So what if instead of merely erasing him, she decided to put him somewhere that no one could ever reach him? A dimension from where things are known never to return? A place where April could never get him back without her assistance?
Well. I think Krang Prime would be absolutely confuzzled by his arrival. But then thoroughly ticked off for obvious reasons.
Not Donnie being resurrected for five minutes in some random goth space area that apparently has air (??) only to save a half-dead Leon from a deadly beating only to get it himself because Krang Prime will not allow anyone to come between his vengeance but HECK NAH is Donnie going to stand by and let this kid be beaten to death.
Yk those fanfics where Leon is actually in there for weeks before his brothers portal him out because time difference?
Well. Now he gets a friend 😏

Thoughts about Undertale Yellow
Greetings, I just returned from binging through Undertale Yellow, True Pacifist Route specifically, and am seeking a place to let out some thoughts (and steam). It's the first time I'm doing this type of "review" on my blog, but since my thoughts on it are quite strong, I thought, "hey, why the heck not"? Spoilers for the game and its ending ahead, fellas. Buckle up.
First off, let me begin by stating that, for the most part, I had a blast playing through it. The music is amazing, the boss themes real bangers, the environmental ones great as well. My favorite track was the OST that played in the Dunes: a really catchy western vibe with Flowey's theme in it as well, an earworm that filled me with Determination while running through the sandy fields. Then we have a beautiful pixel art style, gorgeous sceneries, great gameplay with challenging and fun boss fights (side note: although I couldn't fully appreciate Ceroba's fight since it had a couple pretty much unavoidable attacks. Or is it just skill issue on my part? Anyway, that part annoyed me more than it should have. Moving on, lmao.)
Furthermore, the game also has charming characters! They are the ones that kept me going and really ignited my interest. Not gonna lie, it took me until the town in the Dunes to become really invested in the game. Martlet is charming and cute, sure, but North Star and his gang, no, that guy specifically sold it for me. Charismatic, funny, very expressive sprites (well, all facial sprites are quite colorful, but it took me until North Star to appreciate/notice just how many there are for each character) and an interesting internal conflict with wanting to entertain others so they forget about the pain of being stuck underground, but at the same time being so absorbed in his persona that he temporarily acts like a douche towards his pals and forgets who he truly is. He also features my favorite joke in the game when he proudly proposes to the salesman that "he wants to buy a gun for the child". Freaking hilarious, love him, huehehue.
Story-wise, I was pleasantly surprised and taken aback by the dark twists of Ceroba and her husband Chujin. And I appreciated how the flashbacks got intigrated within her final boss fight. I don't know about you, but my biggest motivation to play RPGs are not just the gameplay, it's mainly the characters and the story. If the gameplay is amazing but the characters/plot boring, then I lose interest quickly. To me, the real rewards of a tough battle are story progression and seeing just what the characters will do next. Therefore, I greatly enjoyed the breaks between Ceroba's phases in which we saw parts of her backstory. They even made me cry!
...Although, to be honest, I don't exactly understand why we had that insight into her mind in the first place. Why did we survive so many hits to the point of 0.00001 HP? Where's that coming from all of a sudden? Why did time stop at some point like Za Warudo? Maybe that random plot armor (that happened the first time and never again) is explained in another route, but anyway, moving on-
This review-style blog entry only exists because of the True Pacifist ending. I'll be blunt, I hate it. Why?
So it ends with Clover sacrificing their soul for the monsters so they can eventually break free. Which is fine on its own. Clover is for the most part a blank slate of a character, only driven by their desire to seek the lost humans, that's basically it. Maybe it would have made a bit more sense for Clover to see an actual physical proof of their demise before they give up on them completely, but eh. I'm also wondering whether they are really okay with potentially another, possibly innocent human falling down sometime in the future only to get killed by the monsters. But oh well.
(You know, now that I think about it, I actually am a bit salty about Clover's decision to sacrifice themselves, lmao. Would've been kinda cool if it was up to the player, have another ending split.)
Anyways, the issue I'm having is how our cast of supporting characters, Martlet, North Star aka Starlo and Ceroba react to Clover's decision. They are shocked first, but... agree surprisingly quickly?? What?? Excuse me, the entire hassle we went through to get to this point was to stop Ceroba from taking Clover's soul. Now with Clover volunteering to sacrifice themselves, the gang is cool with it??
Of course they don't agree immediately, but are easily swayed within a few arguments back and forth. Man, what friends you are, guys. The reason I'm having this pet peeve in the first place is because we as the human, who has known these guys for just a day, did a lot for them, alright? They all tried to kill us at one point, but we took the beating, the hard battles, forgave them and were there for them during their internal conflicts. We were a pretty decent friend, if I may say so.
Especially with Ceroba! We did a lot to change her mind and path of self-destruction! Yet our so-called friends don't put in the same amount of effort when it comes to convincing us otherwise- or heck, use force if you must- get Clover away from there, lmao. Wouldn't it have been an interesting act of redemption on Ceroba's part, by the way, if she tried to stop us? Being touched by our mercy and refusal to give up on her, she does the same for us?
I suppose the reason I am so baffled by all this is because of Clover being a blank slate, the player character really felt like me, like I was going through the journey and not like I was controlling another character. It felt like my decision to spare them all, to talk to them and wanting to get to know them better. So the group of characters I have really grown to like giving up on me within about a minute of back-and-forth just felt... wow. Thanks, guys.
If I compare it to Undertale's True Pacifist in which every important supporting character gathers up after the confrontation with Asgore, all agreeing with the decision of me, the player, staying in the Underground with them, then oh boy, it really stings. Just would've been a cool, wholesome sign of friendship if Martlet, Starlo and Ceroba decided that "nah, even for the surface, we won't give up on Clover". By the way, in this game, we don't even really get to see why the monsters want to return to the surface so badly. They keep saying they want to, but what are the reasons exactly? More freedom, I suppose. Yet by expanding the Underground with the Dunes, the Mines, the Factory, and some of Snowdin, the Ruins and New Home, their habitat seemed so much larger than in the OG game- What I wanna say is, their desperation should've been shown way more instead of told, so the player can understand the monsters' aspiration better.
The thing is, it's a shockingly easy issue to fix if you really want "the canon ending" with Clover ending up dead and their soul taken: have Clover still have their moment of doubt and realization, remembering what the monsters told them throughout their journey. Then they go to Asgore with their gang, hoping to convince him. It doesn't work out, so Asgore starts a fight. During the battle, Clover realizes it's useless to fight back, it's better to have their soul taken for the monsters, so they allow Asgore to kill them. Their friends are not powerful enough to stop him. There ya have it.
Siiiiigh. Is it just me, being annoyed by that ending? As a whole, the finale felt a little... rushed? Was New Home always meant to be so empty? Is it to build up atmosphere? Yet there were two silly NPCs in the first screen of New Home, making me assume that maybe, there was another plan originally? (If it has been stated in a devlog or any other comment by the creators, then I apologize, I haven't read those fully.)
Anyways, if I didn't care about the game, this rant wouldn't even exist in the first place. I was really invested in the game until the ending just left me... kinda sad, not gonna lie. It will take me a while to process it all.
If you got this far, then thanks for reading. Am I the only one feeling this miffed about the ending? I might go back and edit this post if I find out there are things to be corrected. Buuuut as of now, happy holidays!

Finíto!
To svoje jméno, Mousetrap, jsem si fakt zasloužil. Ve tři ráno jsem ze stanu vyháněl myš, která se mi snažila ukusovat z mých M&Ms. Taky se mi zase promenádovala po obličeji. Opravdu je asi nějak přitahuji.
Sklízím poslední stanoviště. Poslední průsmyk, poslední kočičí dira. Poslední nabírání vody. Poslední míle…
A prázdno. Hodněkrát jsem si během šlapání představoval, jaké to bude tady na konci, ta poslední míle. Ale žádné emoční vypětí se nekonalo. Prostě prázdno, nic.
Tumblr media
Severní terminus! Kanadská hranice! Je to až neuvěřitelné. Když jsem začínal, nevěřil jsem, že dojdu až sem. Říkal jsem si, že mě zradí kolena nebo jiná část těla. Ale teď tu stojím! Heck yeah!
Každopádně, je to celkem hořkosladké vítězství. Část ze mě je ráda, že už to končí. Další části se ale ještě končit nechce a děsí se, co přijde teď. Je ale celkem příznačné, že jsem svou výpravu začal ve čtvrtek a taky čtvrtkem to skončí.
Už tu na mě čeká Stereo a za chvilku přijde i Stir it up. Dáme si oslavné pivo, které si neseme z Mazamy a užíváme si poslední společné chvíle. Stereo totiž ještě nemá hotovo, musí se vrátit a dojít asi 600 mil skrz Sierru a severní Kalifornii. My se Stirem jdeme přes hranici do Kanady.
Je mi to líto, nechci se loučit. Stereo, ač s námi byl jen skrz Washington, nám oběma přirostl k srdci. Je to fajn kluk. Jde na mě i smutek z toho, že za pár dní se budu loučit i se Stirem. Ten německý hippík je po tomhle všem pro mě jako starší nevlastní brácha.
Tumblr media
U terminusu se nakonec sejde celkem dost početná skupina, nakonec 10 hikerů. Naposledy si užívám tuhle neuvěřitelnou komunitu lidí. Většina jde zpět do Harts passu, Jen málokdo do Kanady.
Nás ostatní čeká dalších 8 mil než se dostaneme do Manning parku, první vesnice na druhé straně hranic. Asi nejtěžších 8 mil z celého trailu. I když, je to vůbec ještě stejný trail, a nebo už začátek dalšího dobrodružství?...
PS: Zajímalo by mě, kdo to dočetl až sem. Dejte prosím nějakou odezvu (koment nebo srdíčko), ať si můžu udělat představu. Dík!

Speculating on Legends: ZA beased on the game trailer.
AZ will make an appearance along Zygarde. The title being ZA just gives me that feeling.
What is the letter A in ZA referring to? The styled Z in Zygarde's colors plus pattern is clear. The surface of the A's legs seem to look like the vines of stylized leaves. A new Legendary?
Compared to Legends: Arceus, the game's theme will include tradition and change again, but more focused on the balance between nature and humans shaping their environment.
I can answer this now, I was busy watching something else -
1) I HOPE AZ comes into play here, it would be very weird if he didn't. Especially with ZA being AZ but reverse.
2) A new legendary could be very cool! If so I'm excited to see what they come up with. If not, I noticed how the A in the title looks like the ultimate weapon AZ used. Maybe this story has some ties to that 👀 Who knows.
3) ( nods ) I can see that yeah, especially when it comes to building lumious city. There also could be themes of class and capitalism, since those where themes in base XY. Heck it could be both, though I do hope they take their time with these themes and make them more clear, unlike what they did in XY ( imo )

Shuu’s Thoughts on Roppongi Division
Tumblr media
Kai Quinlan
“Kai-chan! We’ve been seeing him a lot lately with all the albums and songs we’ve been doing. And the other two are big meanies for forgetting about all he’s done for everyone! Especially sensei since he remembers like, nothing about him! But I know Kai-chan even more! Mostly because I’m banned from Gypsy’s Palace. Which like, boo! But it isn’t Kai-chan’s fault. If anything, it’s business between Mire-chan and me, so I don’t hate him.”
Mireya Quinlan
“And there she is~! Cranky, cranky Mire-chan! Hehe she was fun to tease when we weren’t talking about all the business stuff. But yeah, she doesn’t seem to like detectives. Must be something personal because she looked like she wanted to kick me out and into the trash. Which is totally unfair to think when you’re meeting someone for the first time! I mean, I was on a case to find a missing girl! Sure, I did find her… I just wasn’t expecting the owner of the club she frequented to have a problem. If only Mire-chan wasn’t quick to pay me off to kick me out. I’m pretty open to hearing from both sides of my case after all! Heck, you’d be surprised how many missing cases turn out to be runaways from abusive home situations… It’s a lot.”
“Anyways, I took the money and kinda broke on the deal. I mean can you blame me? I had two pretty ladies crying from both sides! B-But it’s not like I forced anything to happen! I just found little missy outside of the club and told her that when she’s ready, she should eventually make a decision on what to do about her mom. Laws here are pretty nasty when it comes to children so poor girl can get found by someone less forgiving than me and forced back to her mother. Even if she’s close to being an independent adult, which is so unfair. So I gave her my advice: If she feels safe, she calls her mother to negotiate. If not, move. I mean… If I found her, the next guy that gets hired is gonna find her too. I haven’t heard from the daughter since, but man did I get an earful from the mom! And who do I gotta blame for getting me in trouble with clients? It’s all these goodie-goodie people like Mire-chan that just have to make my job so difficult! More than it needs to be!”
Zakari Hiroya
“Zakari Hiroya, age 22, stands at 177 centimeters and weighs 77 kilograms…Uuugh I can’t be mean towards Za-chan! I just… I got curious about him after I just happened to spot him in Roppongi. I mean most people might miss him normally, but I saw him when I was making this risky escape from some bad guys. I didn’t expect to see anyone on the rooftops with me and I don’t think he did either since he didn’t notice me that day. But he was so cool! He was jumping from roof to roof before he disappeared into the night like a pro!”
“So after that, I maybe sorta followed him around whenever work lead me to Roppongi. I know its not nice to do, but I can’t help it! Especially when he finally confronted me, he didn’t threaten me or shoo me away like some creep. He actually said he felt honored that someone was interested in him! E-Even if I lied to him, it made me feel happy that he wasn’t weirded out by me. Since then, we’ve been friendly with each other so I’ve stopped sneaking around him as much. I still have yet to see Za-chan actually perform, but its mostly because I’m kinda afraid of stepping on Mire-chan’s toes.”
Private Party
“Ehehe the name perfectly suits them! Especially if they banished little ol me from ever coming into Gypsy’s Palace… But I’m only saying that so they can keep thinking they totally succeeded in stopping me from doing my job. Hey, I have my ways to get into places even after I’ve been kicked! Ah, but me admitting that on air means Mire-chan’s going to be on alert for me again, huh? Hopefully my cases don’t take me there anytime soon! I’d hate to throw a rap battle in the middle of their club. It would like, totally suck!”

Underrated Real Time Fandub Lines: Sonic Adventure 2
“Za Warudo!”
“I’ll make you eat those words!”
Sonic trades barbs faster than his mind can process them.
“THAT’S RIGHT, SONIC! I’M TAKING IT FROM THE oh wait, Sonic isn’t here. Knuckles, I’m taking your emerald.”
Eggman fails to account for the Master Emerald’s guardian.
“SHADOW.”
“Thanks, I forgot who this was! Did we ever establish our names? Hi, I’m Sonic!”
All said in the same angry tone of voice.
“F*** you, moon! You never had the cheese I wanted!”
Doctor Ivo Robotnik, IQ of 300.
“I’m sorry, did you not consent to me saving your life? I’ll put you back down, I’m sorry!”
Knuckles knows not to push his boundaries.
“And now I will control the universe! AND EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH splatoon2letsplays BY EGGMAN! NOW GET IN THE F***ING ROOM!”
I feel like it would’ve been easier to put it on the news while you were taking everyone’s Best Buys, but you do you, buddy.
“THANKS, JESUS!”
Knuckles and the big man upstairs go way back.
“You know I’ve seen my fair share of piss rocks~”
“…You said that really sensually!”
I quote Sonic’s response constantly.
“What you see is what you get! Just a guy who loves piss rocks…and adventure. I’m gonna run now.”
“What the f***.”
From Shadow, that kinda hurts.
“It’s been seventeen days…”
Cut to later…
“THREE YEARS! I’VE BEEN IN HERE FOR THREE YEARS!”
How much time passed between those fades?
“Please stop, Ivo.”
“Uh…HOW DID YOU KNOW MY MIDDLE NAME?”
This can go one of three ways. Either Eggman’s lying to cover his tracks, his full name is Ivo Ivo Robotnik (his actual name is pronounced “Eee-Voh”), or he’s just named “Doctor”.
“I put hot sauce on everything-”
“No.”
Alfred immediately catches on to what Ryan’s going for.
“WOOP! WOOP! THAT’S THE SOUND OF THE POLICE!”
“That rap! It reminds me of her!”
I really want to know what the heck crimes Maria committed.
“I’m here to show you what Ninten can do…and what Za WaruDON’T!”
“That doesn’t even make any sense.”
Shadow as he prepares his epic Earthbound Beginnings/Jojo crossover fanfiction.
“My follower base!”
“And yet they still can’t figure out how to get nazis off their site.”
In which Shadow utterly scorches the entire platform.
“As long as I get my weed back, I don’t really care.”
“I don’t have a character motive.”
The best part is that since Shadow’s been shot down to Earth for reasons completely unrelated to G.U.N., he really doesn’t have a character motive other than being a troll.
“Are you my mom?”
“No? What? The f***?”
Amy the Hedgehog to Tails, who is a boy, a fox, and far younger than her.
“Yes, Rouge. Thank you for listening to my insane ramblings about peeing in a Hot Topic.”
You can just hear the realization hit him.
“NOW GET OUT OF MY F***ING FACE! BEFORE I PISS ON YOU TOO.”
Odd as it may be to put a line from the moon rant in an “underrated lines” compilation, nobody talks about how brilliant a conclusion this is.
“I can’t believe he came to his intervention drunk.”
Really? Because it sounds just like him.
“Here comes the WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!”
DJ Inexplicable Talking Gemstone’s new hit rock song.
“Wait, I know you! I saw your dick on Twitter!”
That’s one heck of a way to introduce yourself, Amy.
“When I see you, it is ON SIGHT! IT IS ON! SIGHT-”
“Yeah, piss off.”
The Ultimate Life Form cares not for your threats.
“What the f***, you Hot Topic hot sauce motherf***er, why would you even say anything!?”
“There’s nothing hotter than hot sauce, Rouge.”
That’s not even remotely an answer to the question she asked you!
“But I wanted the last thing I breathe to be pot!”
I always used to mishear it as “pie”.
“I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO REEEAD!”
“That’s not really a surprise!”
Amy’s line was golden as is. Tails’ barely audible snapback is just icing.
“And that is why I! Am the true owner of the world! That’s right! All that you see before you? Everything the piss touches? That is your kingdom! And you, my son, shall go forth and inherit it!”
…what?
“MAN, THOSE BALLS SURE ARE SHAKING.”
Yes, thank you, Knuckles.
“Ah gave birth.”
Another great throwaway line.
“As we know, my dick is on my hand.”
This guy’s about to jack off…
“If I gave Shadow fifteen apples…and then Amy gave Shadow another sixTEEEN…and then Tails took away three…my question is…what is the total mass of the sun?”
“As Obama told me, it’s THREE!”
“YOU FIGURED IT OOOOUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu…ah.”
“Why does it sound like he’s getting further away-this is stupid.”
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful binge watch.
“Wait, that’s no moon, that’s a space station!”
“Nice reference. I also love Star Trek.”
Oh, Shadow.
“Shadow didn’t deserve to die for his piss-”
“Yeah he did!”
“-but here we are.”
She’s not wrong.
“My shoes-my shoes in my reflection are opaque, bye!”
Again, she’s not wrong.
“I’m not understanding any of this, but here’s a gloog.”
We all need a gloog in our life.
“So if we were to all drink piss, does that make you or me?”
“It makes us both avid piss drinkers.”
This explains so much.
“Can I ask you, um-”
“No. Make sure to like, comment and subs-”
No is one of the greatest words in the English language.
“This is a Big McIntosh…”
“Eeyup.”
It took me years to catch that reference.
“This is wagyu steak. Named after the dog, because wagyu tail?”
“WHAT?”
…I got hit by a “deez nuts” joke.
“I’m gonna get a paper towel.” (Grabs a jar of pickles)
Eh, close enough.
“Don’t worry, this one literally has gold on it, so you will die if you eat it.”
“Good, that was the goal.”
Talk about a rich flavor.
“You hit me in my nose! That’s the spot where I don’t like being hit!”
“Well then that’s where I’ll hit you on repeated instances!”
Sonic being a menace to society.
“Hey, that’s some good bars man, y’know I’m coming to kill you right now.”
“…Can you not do that?”
“Uhhh, for how long?”
“Give me at least…y’know fifteen, sixteen…years.”
Followed shortly by Eggman trying to gaslight Sonic into thinking he destroyed the world.
“If they did make a prune juice cocktail, like half prune juice, half vodka, that would be called the ‘factory reset’.”
I have no idea how they started talking about prune juice, but whatever.
“I HAVE…REEFER MADNESS!”
The Dark Story version of Rouge and Knuckles’ encounter is…strange to say the least.
“Hey that’s…”
“Hey, that’s…”
“Hey, that’s…”
“Hey, that’s!”
I think Shadow’s the fake hedgehog around here.
“I’m gonna kill you, and I’m sober now, ‘cause I went to my own intervention!”
Sometimes it just be like that.
“That was completely unnecessary. My back hurts now.”
Screaming for three consecutive years finally caught up with him.
“I diagnose you with DEAD, Wazowski!”
The entire Roz sequence came out of nowhere, and I love it for that.
“IS THIS WHAT HOT TOPIC IS NOW?!”
Not pictured: the epilogue to the Piss Saga.

i honestly want to share my thoughts on apritello bc i’m tired of people hating on it …
i personally don’t think they’re toxic. i used to, during my teen years. i had stopped watching the show because i had nothing to watch it on (didn’t have cable). and everyone online was complaining about apritello like it was the worst. so i took their word for it and didn’t really look into it myself.
but rewatching it recently has made me reflect on it more, and honestly?? while i recognize that they made tons of mistakes in their relationship from season 1 to mid-season 3, i can’t really hate either of them for it. they were KIDS. and kids (and heck, even adults) will make mistakes when dealing with romance for the first time. what matters is that they come to an understanding, meet in the middle, and grow to be better. and watching the second half of season 3 onward, i was convinced by their actions towards each other that they had grown! both as individuals and as a duo. donnie backed off while still caring for her and supporting her, and april had his back too, letting him know when he was too much and showing him care and affection when he needed it.
Tumblr media
actually there’s a quick scene in season 4 episode 1 where in the background, right after casey and donnie hug april in celebration, april gives donnie a look and he backs away apologetically. and then she smiles at him and they continue to celebrate. she’s giving herself boundaries for both of them, and he’s respecting that.
(kinda hard to see but here it is in the background)
Tumblr media
i think the main reason that people feel so icky about them is because there was no scene where the two of them talked about their relationship on camera.
i personally don’t need to see them talk to believe that they grew closer based on their actions alone, but i can see why it would confuse people. but i do believe they talked off camera.
the writers obviously wanted to focus on other plot things instead of on the drama that is apritello, and i blame a lot of that on nickelodeon thinking that they’ll lose viewers if they show a human and a mutant get together.
the only time in the second half of the show where their relationship reaches a danger zone was the whole aeon crystal situation, but i don’t blame april or donnie for what happened. april obviously couldn’t control herself very well, and donnie was trying to respect her boundaries while still making sure she was okay, which proved difficult.
but they got through that. donnie forgave her and never gave up on her, and it was through her affection for him that she beat za-naron. actually even before she was completely possessed, there were moments when she had unbridled rage (toward shinigami), and donnie was the one to take her out of it.
Tumblr media
and from then on they’re almost constantly next to each other.
i do wish we could’ve seen them like,,, actually get together on camera, but i am basically convinced they were dating during season 5.

Took me longer than anticipated to get back to this. Let's see how far I can get through Volume 3 tonight. Hopefully, I'll at least pass Puppetman up....

Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for TriMax Vol. 3, Chapters 4-5 below.
Chapter 4: Emilio the Player
Oh, hey. We're starting back with Brad instead of with Vash or Wolfwood or the girls.
"Something must've happened to them." Do I want to know? I probably don't want to know. Am I gonna find out anyway? Of course I am.
I still don't know who Emilio is. But it just occurred to me that "player" can also mean "actor," and Puppetman thinks of what he is doing in terms of a play, so that might be it.
Puppetman is talking about winning, but Vash has already lost. He has lost so much already. This isn't a fight where Vash comes out on top. It's one where he tries to survive while somehow keeping the core of his being intact. But I'd hesitate to call the bare basics of getting through this a true "win" scenario.
Ugh, Vash with the girl he accidentally shot. I love how his coat is just... going nuts behind him. What is physics? It doesn't matter anymore. Coat is now a part of him and it reaches out both like a defensive shell and like grasping claw, ready to tear apart whatever threatens them next.
Tumblr media
Oh, good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know who the heck Emilio is.
LOL, NOBODY knows who Emilio is.
Dude. Did Vash just get in Puppetman's brain??
Ooh, Puppetman didn't like the name Isabel. What's more, Vash knew he wouldn't like it, and deliberately paused before delivering it.
Puppetman's having a meltdown. Good for him. Please melt more.
VASHU ZA STAMPEEEEEEDOOOOOOO!!!!
🎵 It's raining men! 🎵 🎵 Hallelujah, it's raining... wait, those are just doll parts. That's not as fun.
"Why are there so many?" Please, Brad. Stop asking questions neither of us want the answer to.
Mmm, that's bad. Looks like maybe Puppetman got the doc. Oh, gods. Just thinking about what the equivalent would be in Stampede makes me want to curl up into a little ball and die.
I wonder if in all this, some part of Vash wished Wolfwood was just a bit closer to speed things along. Then again, I don't think Vash would linger on such a thought. Not while cradling a girl he accidentally shot in his arm. Not when Wolfwood might make a similar mistake with a far greater chance of fatality.
Oh, so Emilio doesn't know he's Emilio. Dang. NO ONE. NO ONE KNOWS WHO EMILIO IS.
LOL, he forgot about his little doll boy whose name I already forgot.
Tumblr media
Is... Puppetman melting? I thought Ninelives had the monopoly on self-inflicted body horror this round.
Where'd the girl go?
Did... Vash set off the sprinklers?? With a Molotov cocktail???
Tasty shot of Vash silhouette in the sprinkler rain. Pure art, this.
Tumblr media
Six miles of string? That's too much string.
Wet, angry Vash!
Don't grind your teeth until they crack, kids. You need your teeth for the rest of your life.
RIP Puppetman's hands. I bet he wasn't a fan of his own blood circulation, anyway.
Wet, tired Vash. Someone get this man a warn towel and a hot beverage.
Tumblr media
Vash isn't doing so hot, is he....
Uhhh, what are all these little cross boxes???
Thank you, Brad, for asking a question that's actually helpful this time.
Oh, that must be Isabel.
Chapter 5: The Long Goodbye
Oh, shoot. She's awake.... -ish.
Ah, let's just upgrade that "oh, shoot," to an "oh, shit." Brad's in, like, the WORST possible place to be right now.
Eyyyy, it's my boi Wolfwood! He looks tiiiiiired. But maybe Ninelives is out of lives? Maybe? Possibly???
Ew, he has PEOPLE in him!
LOL, Wolfwood just punching the shit out of the weird little people. I don't blame him, TBH. I'd have had enough of this creep show already.
Strangling the old man-baby thing.... As priests do....
GoshDARNIT, this thing won't DIE!!!
Ms. Bingo?? I don't know if that's supposed to be her name or if Brad's making a pun on how she's the thing they needed to find in all this.
Oops, Puppetman knocked over all his precious boxes 'cause he was pissed at Brad.
Tumblr media
Ah, that box does not, in fact, appear to be full of doll. Brad's reaction to its contents is... reasonable.
I know Brad is kind of a jerk, but I do hope he gets out of here ok. I'm glad he's keeping his head about him in spite of everything.
Ok, I don't know what's going on here. The... ship is... coming apart... I think??
Ah, yeah. There goes a chunk.
Puppetman, saved by his strings.
Wait, Vash!? Ugh, babygirl....
Messy-haired Vash! Messy-haired Vash!!!
Tumblr media
Yeah, there's a reason we don't tie MILES of string to our fingers. You can take a little physical pain to your hands, Puppetman. And losing your doll lady, too. I'm cool with that.
WTF, now there are mini-puppets? And they're attacking Vash?! No! Go away, mini-puppet!
I guess that's one way to commit suicide.
Wolfwood, behind you. WOLFWOOD, BEHIND YOU!!!
AAAAHHHH!!!! GIrls! Milly looks like she's having a blast. I'm so proud of them!
LOLOL, Wolfwood is shook.
Tumblr media
And Vash is here, too! The party is back together! Hooray!
I mean, THAT sure went from agony to pure silliness fast.... I might need a moment to process....

(Pokemon Presents spoilers)
Oh heck, didn't care for any of the other stuff but that final announcement was a total surprise. All the Unowns made me think something Johto-related was coming up. But it's Kalos and bringing back mega evos! (Which I actually do miss after they've been gone for ages now...)
The way the logo animation first showed "Z" alone actually brought back some of that old feeling of speculating Pokemon games and the "Crystal/Emerald/Platinum" entry for having trio versions again. (Though nowadays the novelty of that has died out for me)
I fondly remember people wishing for a Pokemon Z so we could see more love and lore for Zygarde. Gotta say, I am still a Zygarde fan myself.
But then the logo also showed an A afterward!
"ZA" being backwards "AZ" brings interesting story/lore possibilities to mind. I liked Legends Arceus way more than the main series Switch games so far. And with Kalos, X/Y did feel like weak games (to me) that had some lost story potential back in the 3DS days. I'd love to see what they do with that for a Legends game! Maybe stuff they couldn't fit into X/Y at the time?
Still nervous about release dates, though. I uh, heavily dislike TPCI's regulations and deadlines to force big Pokemon games every year or two (and primarily putting that on one dev company). Screw them. I want the franchise to have soul and love again. Legends Arceus really felt like that to me despite it feeling like it released too early too. Let the dev teams breathe, man.
(I have some criticisms toward how Gamefreak manages employees themselves too, though... )
Other than that, Idk if they're gonna attempt to jump onto some X/Y remake to pair with Legends ZA like they did to D/P... -sweats- For better or for worse, B/W would get skipped. With how the climate is right now for Pokemon, I lean on it being for the best. Gen 5 was peak for me. Even then, I don't think any of the original games should "deserve" a remake quite yet unless the development is handed to a different company and given a more reasonable deadline to not release one of the most unfinished games in Pokemon so far.
Felt so bad for a friend of mine who loves Gen 4 and Sinnoh a ton. Man, I'm sorry that happened to you guys in the Sinnoh apprecation/love camp. That was a disaster to witness. At least Legends Arceus was great? (We can pretend the DP remakes didn't happen and all we did need was PLA for a refreshing revisit to a Pokemon region...)

Ooh ooh for your writing prompts I would love to see how you do 6!! 🤩
Awww Zimmm you are EVIL xD xD That is, that is a prompt alright *squeezes squishable close.* Alas… I will play by the rules. Order coming right up~
(I actually had to pull out My Immortal to set my mood right. Bloody heck that song is an onion bomb to me.)
Warning that, just like your flu shot, this may pinch a little. This is not a good time.
He waited.
A long and looming figure lurched against the wall, inhumanly thin, twisted in proportion, drenching him in tar as it mirrored the pose he was in. It crossed its own arms and waited alongside him.
They waited.
They waited for the shock to turn to fury, to finally make the reins tethering Her down snap. She was always in there, unheard, dormant, stifled, like an animal snarled in the threads of his composition. They had been wire-thin once, portions of his defense Hollander’s dolls had gouged out. She had grazed the surface—so close to clawing out. He saw it, all those times when his teeth gritted, fingers clenching like a vice, the tube pumping Mako into his blood rattling against her weight.
And then it stopped.
All because of the boy… the godforsaken boy who always kept Her tied. Leeching onto his creation, repelling Her and siphoning the poison from his veins. Infecting him with his own disease.
He waited, watching every flicker in his son’s eyes, tracing the stillness of those monstrous pupils and the Mako islanding them, twin blades of green cutting through the dark. They quivered, and then they settled again.
She was behind them. Nourished by the venom seething inside him, and finally without anyone to keep Her captive.
He waited.
His breath rattled.
He waited.
He stopped.
He wai—
And a sharp, blood-curdling, horrible sound tore from Sephiroth’s lips, his legs failing below him as he was sent crumpling to the floor. The PHS slid from his hand, contacts still open. Plastic shattered, the echo silent, fissures running through the professor’s name.
And he cried, breaking all at once. In front of his father. For his treasure.
“No… no…” Sephiroth gathered the bundle of crimson clothes into his arms, the collar sopping under his trembling fingers. “Z… Za…” He enveloped him, swaddled him, crushed him, burying his head into his best friend’s neck, already gashed and torn agape, sanguine streams riding down blanched skin.
Wake me up… Gaia. Wake me up. WAKE ME UP!
He never heard himself scream before, and all at once it was so subdued. Swallowed in the ringing numbness surrounding him. There was somebody standing there, a shape in the corner. He didn’t see it. Couldn’t even begin to reach for recognition.
The only thing that mattered, the only thing that ever mattered, he held cradled to his chest.
Pale, damp eyes slid open then. Sheeted under glass, the oceans icy. Light could barely crack through… but he could feel. There was warmth cocooning him… a familiar sanctuary… a song pressed against his ear.
“S… Sph…” His gaze drifted upwards, limp. Just conscious enough to see green stars dancing against the haze.
Sephiroth choked on his breath, selfishly gulping in what Zack had none left of. “Yes…” he mumbled into the threads. “I’m right here…” He knew it was a lie, but it was all he could bring himself to say. He pressed him closer. “I’m here…”
I’ll always keep you safe… I promise.
I will protect you. You’re going to be okay.
Thanks, Seph…
You’re always there for me…
He didn’t know what to do but to try and close the flaps of skin, viscous and cold and… fruitless. Sephiroth shook his head, crushing him as if to he some desperate, futile levee for his life. “I’m sorry…” His entire body trembled, the quaking tower of veins and muscles and all the way down to his cells. “I’m so sorry…”
If he had never roped Zack into his life… If he kept him…
Zack’s fingers twitched, he commanded them to with every fading ember of his strength, grasping a feeble bundle of leather. He felt the blood slipping from his hold, draining away. Leaking out. He knew he was dying… It was a strange, floating feeling. Like… like all this times he tried to swim in the deep end and couldn’t.
He just needed to reach a wall… then he could… pull himself out. Seph was sad. He was blaming himself. He couldn’t let him do that. He needed to get there. He needed to tell him it wasn’t his fault. That it had all happened so fast. The alert of loose monsters in the lab. Rushing down. A materia. Freezing. Silver blurs. Feeling freezing…
“Don’t…” Sephiroth waded through his throat. So many flashes in his mind, caught in the rapids. The tsunami of smiles and laughter and starlight… feathers drifting and glimpses of childhood and gentle, warm gauze wrapped around his heart. “Please, Zack… I need you.” Another choke. “I… I don’t want… Don’t leave me…”
Zack’s grip loosened, disobeying his stark command to tighten it. “I don’t w… nt to, bud…” He inched deeper into the soft, inky blackness, wriggling away from the numbness trying to claim him. Sweep him away like waves. Yet the foam was reaching his feet, brushing against him…
No. No… he couldn’t. Not yet. There was so much he had to say… Static hazed his mind, memories engulfed… thoughts falling… words slipping. He tried to force his lips to crack, fighting through the chattering, the numbness. He fought with all his might. All the strength he had been taught and bestowed, using the throbbing rhythm against his ear like a compass. Keeping him afloat. Just a moment longer.
He dissolved into Seph’s coat. “You’ll always be my very best friend…”
The wave crashed.
“Zack… Zack… enough. Zack…” Sephiroth’s words suffocated him. “No… No…”
And Hojo watched it all unfold, standing in the corner of the room. He couldn’t bring himself to move. Not with the growing realization that there was nothing to wait for, and that there would never be again. That he was too late.
She was gone; the boy had already killed Her.
The knife was dropped with a hollow, useless clatter, and Hojo finally walked away, leaving the broken image of his failure to drown in crimson light.

Assigning Star Rail cast the songs they would sing in Yakuza/Like a Dragon karaoke along with the cinamatics.
1. Tail - Bakamitai
He's the most unfamiliar with emotional attachment so he def the type to rather just sit in a room and drink helio-whiskey instead of showing any real affection as a green ball floating above a stool.
Of course the pictures being replaces with his moments with Huohuo in his mind cuz hes basically her family now 😭😭😭
Also its funny cuz Huohuo would be too scared to sing but the gang somehow got him to sing so she has to akwardly stand off the stage nearby so he has his wifi connection.
2. Caelus and/or Stelle Judgement -Shinpan-
Its all about breaking za law and they always say that "Rules are meant to be broken." They would be into that cheesy image of cool.
March (or even the other Trailblazer) would be in Nishiki's spot with Dan Heng or Welt as the keyboard player as they rock out.
3. Caelus - 24 Hour Cinderella
Of course both TBlazers can be interchange able but I like to think they have their own slight personality differences.
In their mind this would have a March theming in colors and outfits and who ever they first think up as the background dancers. He did this to out-idol and out-cute March, somehow gets a higher rating from the machine at the end.
4. Stelle - Machine Gun Kiss
Much like Caelus, this is her way of out-cooling Welt even though he sung a completely different genre of song. Also gets a higher rating but just barely. She especially would really ham it up especially on the end with the "aaaRRUUHHGGG!!!" like Adachi.
5. Clara and Svarog - OtoMetal MY LIFE
The name alone should be enough. Small child with a red and white color scheme with a menacing seemingly emotionless legendary guardian with a deep voice? Heck yeah it works.
First, she asked for him to participate in karaoke,
Then she asked he do the actual back up vocals instead of replaying the built in cheers. After a few songs, Svarog began to understand the energy he had to put into the vocals.
6. Sushang - The Future I Dreamed of
Both Ichiban and Sushang dream to be a hero who does good and with friends even if they have more heart than brains.
Basically are both shonen protags who hit things with metal objects with a big smile on their face and never back down even at impossible odds (unless its ghosts).
It wouldnt even matter if she could hit the notes either because she rarely sings due to her training, Sushang would put in alot of effort in her singing and that alone is enough.
7. Bronye and Seele - Like a Butterfly
Seele and butterflies, what else is there to say.
Bronya singing the softer vocals with Seele complimenting it with more "aggressive" back up matches their dynamic pretty well, also its funny imagining her going all out on a song and going "Oh yeahhhh."
8. Guinaifen - Spring Breeze
"All the pictures that I could take,
All the gigs these videos make,
None of it replaces the you that I know.
But they'll be there after you go."
I mean cmon, this is easily her singing to her SQUAD outside of her streaming stuff. 'Blazer, Sushang, Huohuo, they would all be in her imaginary MV as she sung. Would be one of the better singers in raw quality.
9. March - All Idol songs + 3x SHINE
I am certain she would be a bonafide idol if she had the opportunity. All the interjections are basically any of the Star Rail passangers minus Pom Pom unless she convinced him its an essential for the sake of the ride.
Even someone like Dan Heng would be going off with their interjections she just has that latent power.
