Virtual Weddings, Weird Creatures, and Grim Tales
Hello, my Freaky Darlings! Personal Shit My niece got married this weekend! Even though she and most of my family were in New Zealand and I was stuck here in South Africa dealing with power issues thanks to the endemic corruption that has crippled our power utility company and no water for the weekend, I was still able to be there virtually thanks to Zoom. Isn’t modern technology amazing? It was…

The lava monster issue
There was a certain weird aspect about the lava monster. The concept of him and his backstory is simple, what makes him relatable episodic character, but only on the surface level, because as soon you start to think and analyze the details and how it sticks to the premise of setting, you will realize that there's something wrong either with the character or with something around him.
Tumblr media
First of all, ironically, but exactly this lava warrior is the first human Jack ever kills. Yes, Jack just helped him to rest in peace, so the guy died mostly due to his age, so he is in Valgalla now as he wanted, but still. Jack became the reason of his death, hence he killed a human before his encounter with bounty hunters from 5 episode of 4 season.
Tumblr media
Second, how this warrior mentions, the monster (of course, Aku) imprisoned him in crystal, but the warrior's spirit was strong enough so this "prison" stone became his body basically, and he is able to fight and even control stones and lava... And instead of a battle against Aku for avenging his family and maybe even helping to other enslaved ones he creates various traps for a warriors, who would kill him, so he would go to Valgalla through honorable duel... What?! There's no mention that he can't leave these mountains! He literally created all these traps, i.e. he went on outside of the mountains! Yes, he is trapped in the stone body, but he doesn't mention that he can't leave these lands! He can do various weapons from own body just like Aku does! What a heck?! He is the earth/lava bender straight up!
Tumblr media
And, well, with omiting some details for a while, this warrior did nothing wrong and was pretty good guy, who protected his people. Why the three alien gods from "Birth of Evil" did nothing?! Why they didn't help to this guy to save his family?! Why they didn't give him a weapon against "the monster"?! Why they were okay with him being cursed and trapped for eons?! And third, his backstory raises lots of questions. Of course, since this guy exists for eons, and he learnt lava/earth bending after many centuries of lying in the cursed trap, his memories about the past could be mostly erased and become very vague, i.e. he remembers only certain vague parts, but not details and full events (and, well, we remember the example of Emperor's words about his confrontation with Aku in 1 episode of 1 season and what really happened in "Birth of Evil" between him and Aku). But still. Like, he mentions that the black moon made the solar eclipse and started to grow, so the darkness absorbed skies and woods and then "the monster born from the darkness attacked" and began to destroy the warrior's kingdom.
Tumblr media
Ah... why Aku decided to teleport(?) exactly this way? Moreover, why Aku was there alone and decided to attack exactly them and exactly to burn these lands with its human habitants?! This event clearly happened after Jack was sent to the future, 'cause before this Aku chilled only in Emperor's lands (and after he was free from the stone tree, he attacked exactly Emperor's kingdom). You really don't see the problem? Well, if Aku started to take over the world, he had to be with the large armies of robots and demons, i.e. the warrior would remember small demons and "giant iron insects/people" or whatever. Plus, the people mostly would be enslaved, not killed. Another aspect — how, according to the lava warrior, Aku mocked on him "You'll never join your family/friends!" and hence trapped him in the magical crystal forever just because the warrior attacked him (and again this parallel with arrows).
Tumblr media
Ah... I don't know, but such a brutal punishment "for eternity" would be more suitable for Jack's parents, especially Jack's father, not just some random dude from thousands Aku will see in the future (although, Aku could see some parallel — like, the guy clearly was a chief in his tribe and had a wife and two sons, but nah, here Aku just demonstrates that black cynical humor some mythical creatures/spirits had). Simply saying, the guy not only has almost erased and vague memories about these events, but also he doesn't know the whole story, 'cause he arrived exactly after the attack already happened.

About Me: Favorite Animal Crossing Villagers
By now most of you should be aware I love Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Not only did I put it on my list of favorite games, I hosted at least a dozen different polls here on my blog because I couldn’t decide who should live on my island. It's just been a struggle figuring out who I like, what designs I vibe with, and all that. This is my first AC game, after all.
I have swapped out a few dozen animals in my journey of self-discovery, and on said journey I've discovered a few things. For example, I find the best Lazy and Cranky villagers to be ugly old bastards as opposed to cute ones, though there are exceptions to this rule. I've also found that, with few exceptions, I just can't stand Jocks; I find their personalities to be extremely grating, and even though there's a few I like the whole personality type has some of the blandest designs. This is something that effects Normal villagers too, but at least they have a few standouts like Coco; if Pigleg was still in the series, I wouldn't call Jocks the worst personality, but alas we do not live in that world.
Smug and Snooty villagers tend to be my favorite, as I find their designs and their characterization the most enjoyable. Not far behind is Cranky, those loveable curmudgeons. Everything else save Jocks are fine by me, and even then there are a handful of Jocks I enjoy... just not enough to want to keep them around.
As for animals... I'm a big fan of the rabbits and cats, that's for sure. Wolves too; I don't think there's a bad wolf in the series. There's also not a single bad octopus, but seeing as there's only four of them it would be hard to fuck them up too much. A lot of other species tend to be hit or miss for me, like mice, rhinos, hippos, alligators, and horses; some designs are great, others are just boring or bad. I really am not a fan of kangaroos, especially the female ones, and I find monkeys to be really bland (even Tiansheng, one of the only Jocks I like, has a really boring design despite the cool inspiration behind it). Tigers are pretty dull as well, and every hamster that isn't Marlo or Clay is just really unpleasant to look at.
Still, I think ducks and birds are my least favorite of them all, as I hate just about every single one of them. Ostriches and eagles are cool, penguins are fine, but ducks and birds are just utterly repulsive to me. But I think the fun of this series is that no matter how weird or ugly I personally find an animal, there's gonna be a whole bunch of people who love it.
There’s actually 4 categories of honorable mentions this time! The first is villagers I met on my wife’s island but never moved to my own; these are Octavian, Tia, Lily, Sprocket, and Raymond. The second is villagers I like but who aren’t in this game, which would be Ganon, Medli, Inkwell, and Pigleg. Then there is the final category, villagers who have never moved to my island: Wart Jr., Freya, Chief, Merry, Monique, Apollo, Tabby, Hopkins, Bettina, Cesar, Louie, and Stinky. The final category is villagers I have had but who didn’t make the cut: Chèvre, Gladys, Clay, Bob, Pietro, and Walt.
30. Barold
Tumblr media
Barold is perhaps the ugliest bastard of all, looking like Lester from GTAV, but that and his disturbing wall of camera feeds he has in his house makes him the most hilarious Lazy villager around.
29. Fang
Tumblr media
As far as wolves go, Fang is incredibly basic, but it's hard not to like this cute Cranky in his adorable sweater.
28. Roscoe
Tumblr media
Talk about an ensemble dark horse! Roscoe is the only Cranky horse, but his chess motif and his striking red eyes make him the only Cranky horse you could ever need.
27. Tiansheng
Tumblr media
The only Jock who makes my list, by token of being inspired by Sun Wukong. It's a shame he has one of the worst houses of the 2.0 update villagers, or he may have been higher on this list.
26. Drago
Tumblr media
Looking for a cool alligator village? Enter this dragon, a Lazy beast with one of the better houses for a mythical creature villager.
25. Julian
Tumblr media
Julian is a Smug, feminine unicorn boy with impeccable style. Unfortunately, much like his fellow mythological creature villager Hans, he is saddled with a terrible house, but his good looks make up for it.
24. Ione
Tumblr media
She's a glow in the dark starry gamer girl squirrel whose birthday is on 9/11. Literally everything about her is perfect.
23. Sasha
Tumblr media
The ever-popular twink rabbit makes my list, but he's pretty low because I find the weird, sloppy manchild dialogue weird coming from someone this incredibly cute. It's an odd juxtaposition, but maybe it bothers me because combined with his love of stuffed animals he reminds me too much of myself ten years ago.
22. Olivia
Tumblr media
Much like most Snooty cats, Olivia serves cunt. Just look at her. I love the pattern on her feet, which look like a pair of mismatched socks, and her big cat eyes.
21. Beardo
Tumblr media
He looks like a 70s porn star, he dresses like a Victorian detective, and I once caught him trying to rope Muffy into his weird mommy fetish... Literally what's not to love about this nutjob?
20. Hans
Tumblr media
My first Smug villager, the most dapper yeti around. His house sucked unfortunately, but there never has been a villager quite as groovy as he was.
19. Dobie
Tumblr media
Seeing as he is a grumpy old writer, Dobie is essentially literally me from the future. He has such a delightful wise old grandpa design.
18. Marina
Tumblr media
There are no bad octopuses, that much I can say for sure, and even then Marina stands out among them for being overwhelmingly pink and sweet.
17. Whitney
Tumblr media
The wolf who serves the most cunt. Whitney has a rather basic design, but the white fur, blue eyes, and love of gorgeous dresses make her extremely appealing. It doesn't feel right having her without Apollo, though.
16. Boris
Tumblr media
Boris is frequently at the bottom of the popularity polls, and I get it. His house has an Egyptian theme for some reason and he's not the prettiest guy around. But if Boris only has one fan, that fan is me.
15. Shino
Tumblr media
2.0 brought us this demon deer with that traditional Japanese style. She's a little basic if I'm being honest, but the personality and her inability to close her eyes all the way and her cute little fangs make her appealing as all hell.
14. Muffy
Tumblr media
She's a goth sheep. That's fucking awesome.
13. Petri
Tumblr media
The red and blue ears and literal lab rat style are plenty appealing, but I think Petri's finest quality is how she has the prettiest eyes hidden behind those big mad scientist specs.
12. Marshal
Tumblr media
This pint-sized Smug caffeine addict was my wife’s first Smug villager, and she disliked him so much she gave him to me… and I replaced him. It’s one of my biggest regrets now, because I love this little bastard so much. Maybe someday he’ll return.
11. Ruby
Tumblr media
Being an albino bunny gives her a rather striking design, and she has an awesome moon-themed house. My daughter really loved her too, but she loves any bunny she sees.
10. Tucker
Tumblr media
Somehow this guy is consistently near the bottom of the NH popularity poll... why? He's one of the most unique villagers in the series, being a caveman wooly mammoth! Why do people hate this lad?
9. Vic
Tumblr media
Look at this fucking majestic picture. Look at this viking bull. He has a pirate theme in his house, too, so he might very well be the most perfect Cranky villager ever. What a badass.
8. Kidd
Tumblr media
This handsome boy is currently residing on my island, and as much as I miss Marshal, I'm very happy with this purple goat. I mean, he has a lava lamp in his house, that counts for a lot.
7. Tiffany
Tumblr media
Out of every cunt-serving Snooty villager, Tiffany might be my favorite (even if she's not exactly popular). I love her old-time stripper look, and her casino/game room-themed house, and just the huge amount of personality in her design. She's almost my favorite bunny.
6. Coco
Tumblr media
That honor, however, goes to Coco. I love the weird and unique villagers with really out-there concepts, like Stitches the living teddy bear or Hopkins the living pool toy, but Coco the haniwa bunny really takes the cake. The fact she's also a Normal villager despite being a living clay statue is absolutely hilarious.
5. Cherry
Tumblr media
Cherry is a villager I wasn't sure I really liked at first because of the odd placement of her mouth, but she definitely grew on me. She's got impeccable fashion and has the rare Big Sister personality on her, two things that really go well together.
4. Phoebe
Tumblr media
A fiery Big Sister phoenix, and one of my starter villagers. She probably has the best house of any of the mythical creatures, seeing as it's an awesome lava cave. For a long time she was absent from my island, but finally she has returned, and I couldn't be happier. I missed this pretty bird.
3. Cephalobot
Tumblr media
I have had so many moments of doubt regarding this robot buddy. I've considered sending him away, replacing him with another Smug villager... but my god, he is too damn cute and sweet! He's given me his photo twice and constantly says that I'm his best friend! How could I ever get rid of him?
2. Audie
Tumblr media
Another one of my favorite villains from my wife's island, she appeared on my island early before being replaced because I didn't want to copy my wife. Needless to say, this was a stupid decision, and when she appeared to me again she triumphantly returned and is here to stay. This foxy lady is easily my favorite wolf of them all.
Ankha
Tumblr media
Ankha was a village my wife and I time travelled extensively for, hunting the campsite and praying for her to appear, and when I got my own copy of New Horizons my wife let me take her in for my own island. Essentially, Ankha is my best friend in this game, and I have a very big emotional attachment to her, especially since she's the first villager who ever gave me a photo.

4 - mythical creatue you think/believe is real?
5 - favourite form of potato?
25 - would you say you have good taste in music?
Hi friend!!!
Re: this post
4. Mermaids, sea serpents and dragons! 👁👄👁
5. Oh gosh why is this the most difficult question?! 😭 For me, it’s a toss up between baked potato and roasted.
25. Yes! I’m very confident in this. My ears and heart are open to audio experiences of all kind. But My good taste, I think, has something to do with how I understand music as a professional musician. How my ear was trained to pick up on central frequencies. I honestly feel like a good taste in music is based on science.
Thank you for the asks!

💌: 4, 18, 20
4. Mythical creatue i believe is real: ooo. Okay, so Im all about the crytpids and totally believe that things like Bigfoot and aliens and Nessie are real.
I'd ve tira to say that mermaids are debatable, but also like we've explored such a tiny percentage of the ocean so like, who knows, ya know?
18. Boba/tea order: There's this delicious boba place near me that has fruit ones. I get the Strawberry/Pineapple with either tapioca bobas or the popping Strawberry ones. If they offer milk alternatives, I like the black tea or like a thai tea with coconut milk.
20. Fave disney princess movie: See previous. But also, I love Aladdin too.
Thanks love!

Banshees and Crime
Hello, my Freaky Darlings! How have you been? Read anything interesting this week? Anyway … This week, I’m particularly fascinated by the female spirit from Irish folklore and a harbinger of death and doom – The Banshee. So … do you think the Banshee is an ancestral spirit simply trying to warn her descendants, or is she an evil bitch having a laugh as she lures people to their doom? There’s…

PSA: ABOUT TANUKIS
-They are NOT! Raccoons/Trash Pandas
-Yes They share a mask like a raccoon, Yes they have Raccoon’s in their name like a normal one but they are NOT Raccoon’s -Its like calling apple’s oranges because they grow on tress and they are fruit sorry but no.
-Tanuki’s/ Japanese Raccoon are Canine, (dog family) But they are not dogs, so what are they more like? Foxes, yup Tanukis a more closely related to a fox than a Raccoon.  Source Source2 Source3
-Btw The Mythological Tanuki’s you know the ones with the magic balls like from Pom Poko, they still are the normal “real” tanuki’s/ Raccoon dogs. just Ones Magical and ones a non magical fluff ball.
- Also calling out the artists out there who probably don’t know this BUT, yeah tanuki’s do NOT have ring tails like a raccoon does, i mean you can keep it if its a style  thing or apart of your character or someone else character or if they are a hybrid of a tanuki and a raccoon sure but 100%
Tumblr media
 This is what a tanuki looks like
Tumblr media
And this isn’t, this is just a trash panda. plus how do they look the same? <_> please explain I’m extremely confused.
- Other tips to tell a tanuki from a raccoon, the sounds they makes Tanuki’s go AWOO (sometimes moo) while Raccoons goes chitter samples.
Tanuki
youtube
Raccoon
youtube
Made this thing because it HURTS to see people call, or draw Tanuki’s as Trash Pandas yet they are not the same despite the name and (Barely) the looks.
Also there was a much better Tumblr post but i guess its MIA ;3; but ill do mines for now to spread the proper info.
Plus i mean come on guys just google search up the info and looks for Tanukis and raccoons >~> its not that troubling.
