#obscure nerd shit

[red-catmander]

in light of recent news

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #secrets of the obscure #elementalists the time for nerd shit is long past. it is time to start blasting #Youtube

[foxghost]

Back in 2009, Samsung sold these netbooks that shipped with win7 starter that could boot to something called "phoenix hyperspace". This is fascinating if you're a nerd.

#fox is a nerd #phoenix hyperspace #this is a deep dive into an obscure operating system #and a cool piece of random history now i guess #it's such a haphazard #and twisted way to do things #it's VERY 2009 #can you imagine it was also the year of the dragon age #dragon age was happening while netbooks were pulling this shit #queued #it was also an instant dual-boot #which is magical and uh #kind of metamophoses like

[lexicals]

ooh ooh 🎮 I love knowing about characters hobbies owo

Heehee thank you!!

I will answer for njoki cause she's the main and nerine literally does not do anything except work lmao

She is a Gamer. Her favourite series is sonic the hedgehog but she also likes platformers and racing games! Among others lol

I think she likes to draw even if she's not technically very good at it. She just likes doodling on stuff or drawing characters she likes sometimes

I was struggling for a third one but actually this girl definitely writes fanfiction. She absolutely has a massive archive of star trek femslash at LEAST

#asks #istillplaywithdolls #ask meme #grim chances #I think for the others as well anjali also likes games (more of the fps variety) but also colouring books and sewing #Daz is the kind of person who would probably fix up old mechanical stuff or electronics for fun I think lmao. Also birdwatching #Fen picks up old dolls and stuff from antique/charity shops and restores and sells them! They're also a fibrecrafts person #And james is a film nerd lmao. But not even for obscure stuff it's all basic shit lol

yet another “quality over quantity” record haul 💕posting this cause the 10cc find obviously made me think of @modernmanblues

#WHEN I TELL YOU I CANT BELIEVE I FOUND FLO AND EDDIE #IF I WASNT IN PUBLIC IDVE SCREAMED #I WAS LITERALLY SPECIFICALLY HOPING TO FIND MOVING TARGETS BUT ILL TAKE ALL THE FLO AND EDDIE I CAN FIND #the 10cc one was a happy accident bonus #AND ITS SEALEDDDDDDDD #I don’t know if I can bring myself to break the seal 😅😅😅😅 #i think I’ll leave it for now like it is and eventually if I decide to break the seal we’ll get there if we get there #if you can’t tell I am in the early stages of a Flo and Eddie hyperfixation #don’t ask me why. they just HITTTTTTTTTTTT #actually I do know why. my brain likes many things but it cannot obsess over anything that isn’t Weird or has ever been considered Cool #normie shit slaps too but give me the nerd rock and the weird ass obscure bands I guess

[torra-and-the-toons]

thank god for people reselling the old cartoon network comics on ebay bc amazon literally wants like $100 for one and that’s ridiculous...

#torra rambles #yes I'm gonna start collecting the issues with eene comics #bc I'm a hyperfixating nerd #I didn't know cartoon network issued comics under DC wtf #I tried to look for them at my local comic shop but it was too obscure v.v #and they have some obscure shit lmao #anyways I ordered Block Party 8 15 and 47 to start #reasonably piced too #like less than 20 dollars

What’s new in my life:

Well, figured out I was aro. Quite the realization to come to

Chopped off my hair

I can no longer do digital art (unless I’m willing to use my phone, which I’m not), and am now exclusively a traditional artist

DID YOU KNOW THAT I LIKE TRANSFORMERS?!?? TRANSFORMERS IS FANTASTIC AND OPTIMUS PRIME (specifically transformers: prime Optimus) IS THE DEFINITION OF FATHER FIGURE HHKFJSGFAHAKGD I LOVE HIM

I joined the school esports team and now play overwatch almost every day

I found out i have dyscalculia, so that’s…cool ig

And again, I go by June now :D

#daily rambles #I’ve somehow become an even bigger nerd #just for more obscure fandoms #being a 17 year old girl and saying you like transformers is like walking on glass #dangerous and it makes other people cringe and question what is wrong with you #even worse when you throw in the I SEE OPTIMUS PRIME AS A FATHER FIGURE line #people lose their shit over that one

I will continue to add years as I work my way though

This link is the easy to read check list

and this link is a more in depth spreadsheet with ratings and notes

#Disney #I don't know how to make this information fun and exciting to the general public #im just doing what I can #books #bookblr #nerd shit #Look #sometimes I like to take things i like and make a big project out of it #heyo #chat with me about any of this stuff #:) #questions or reccs #let me know if your actually going to try out any of these books or movies or if you already have #and if you have any disney park info that pertains to any obscure movies OH MY GOD GIMMIE GIMMIE #movies #movie #disneyland

[stabbylambchop]

probably the weirdest internet whiplash I've experienced is going from being embarrassed that I like something morbid or niche or whatever the fuck to being afraid to admit I like something mainstream lol

#like this isn't me trying to be a hipster douchebag or anything #this is me annoyed with the hypocrisy and how ppl are using it to be even more toxic to each other #nerds are insufferable and want to use being bullied to act superior and do the very shit they say they lobby against #and that's speaking as a bullied nerd myself lol #like what's the point. what's the fucking goddamn point #tumblr should just say 'you ain't allowed to like shit sorry lol' and move on it would literally save so much time #pls never let me get that up my own ass just bc I like slightly more obscure slashers or analog horror over like sports or some shit idk #do not reblog #not for reblogging #I'm sleep-deprived and annoyed whatever

[the-adas]

i'm not named after any particular character for media but there are right and wrong characters to guess I'm named after

#the adas speak #there's the shit i grew up with nerd shit and shit so nerdy/obscure it goes back to being respectable #nerd shit gets you a loud incorrect buzzer. fuck you #not actually. being a nerd is fine. but you are incorrect

[midnight-rice]

they say looking through someone's trash tells you a lot about their life, so does their search history

#this says i am a huge nerd with endometriosis and friends in other time zones #who doesnt know anything normal or practical about life just obscure game knowledge #btw did you know that garlic can turn green or blue when cooked??? scared the shit out of me #also rip superredgaming osts from youtube. they're only on the internet archive now 😔😔

celebrating 4/13 by closet-cosplaying dave strider B)

Late night

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!reader

summary: Derek asks spencer about a late night he had.

warnings: mentions of smut, but just fluff

a/n:(obviously) I'm rewatching, and I got to episode 1x10 and I had to write about this scene(please tell me someone remembers it)

"Easy there tough guy, have some coffee with your sugar, "Derek said, a smirk appearing on his face as soon as he got a glimpse of the obscene amount of sweetener Spencer was putting in his coffee.

"I need something to wake me up" Spence explained, not showing signs of stopping.

He was tired,

God, he was tired,

He wasn't used to this, no, not at all,

and it wasn't like he was complaining, he had the time of his life last night,

He felt like he was dreaming, or hallucinating really,

it just didn't make any sense.

You didn't make any sense.

He was a nerd, a weirdo, a robot, things that until now, he had learned weren't appealing to the ladies,

but still,

there you were,

somehow interested in him,

enough to spend the night with him,

enough to let him get a mere 3 hours of sleep last night.

"late night?" Derek asked, grinning widely.

"very" Spencer couldn't help but smile, as flashbacks invaded his mind.

his mouth on yours, the taste of your tongue, the feel of his hands on you, of your soft skin, of your curves, the feel of you, and then finally of your voice, your sweet sweet voice murmuring his name, and moaning loudly into the thick air.

"my man" Derek said proudly, making Spencer cuss himself internally.

shit, that's right,

he wasn't supposed to know about it,

nobody was,

not until you knew what it was,

not until you were ready.

"not that kind of late night" he lied, and surprisingly, it was convincing, no pitching of the voice, or weird hand ticks, nothing, just his usual self.

"ok so tell me" Derek walked up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, and right at that moment, you entered the kitchen "what does keep young dr. Reid awake at night?"

You stopped in your tracks, your lips involuntarily twitching into a smile as you heard those words.

Spencer glanced at you, his cheeks immediately turning a brighter shade of pink,

"wait let me guess" Derek started, thankfully too deep into his thoughts to notice the not-so-subtle looks just exchanged "memorizing some obscure textbook?"

You bit down a grin, going to pour some coffee for yourself.

sure,

if by memorizing a textbook he meant every single inch of your body,

"no, no, no." Morgan waved his hands, correcting himself " working on cold fusion" he tried again

You had to bring the mug up to your mouth to cover the wide smile on your lips, as you looked at the scene, Spencer's cheeks continued to redden as he felt your eyes on him.

"no, I got it, I got it, I got it" Derek tried to guess again

"watching star trek and laughing at the physics mistakes"

You couldn't help it this time,

a small laugh escaped your throat, and you opened your mouth to justify yourself once both the men turned to look at you, but Spencer interrupted you "Actually, there aren't that many scientific errors in star trek, especially considering how long ago it was made. there are certain improbabilities, but not that many outright errors."

Morgan raised his eyebrows at you, his eyes expressing very clearly -this guy huh?-, and you smiled knowingly, your eyes, in turn, saying -I know, trust me I know-

Derek smiled at your expression before going back to Spence "Right" he said, patting his shoulder before leaving quickly, not wanting to hear one more second of his rambling.

You smiled, walking closer to the now-beaming man.

"so, late night huh?" you asked

"the best of my life"

blerd!ony…💭

been wanting to write about my sweetheart + I needed something self indulgent today so here we are! 🩷

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══ ══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖

you never really liked talking anime or nerd culture with men!…a strange thought but a true one nonetheless. It was always one exhausting conversation after the next. From being giving random pop quizzes about this series or a lecture about how that one doesn’t measure up to the solidified greats. That was until you met blerd!ony…the gentle, kindhearted cashier in the store you frequented on a daily basis. Blerd!ony, who recognized the t-shirt you were wearing immediately from that very obscure yet classic anime you loved so much, became absolutely ecstatic to talk to you from that day on. The tall, gorgeous male with a smile like the stars, the most beautiful complexion you’ve ever seen and a voice like honey had given you even more of a reason to gush over him. “You gotta give me your top five right now. I always see your keychains and shit. You got good taste..” you were a bit hesitant because this was always the point where things went left but blerd!ony surprised you by praising your choices and even saying he’d check out the ones you’d put him on to. blerd!ony, who had a sleeve full of video game themed tattoos took pride in showing off his pieces when you happened to catch him outside on smoke break one night. Telling you how he played all the time and even streamed a bit in his free time. “I do alright, you should check me out.” blerd!ony, who was always holding up the line just to chat with his favorite customer about the new series he just started. “I’m talking to my girl, y’all can wait—anyways, did you see that new episode? Shit was crazy.” it wasn’t long before he was asking for your socials and hoping to keep the communication going on days even when he couldn’t see you. blerd!ony, who couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the girl who came in his store with sweatpants and a DBZ shirt all dolled up in your cosplays..some a lot more revealing than others. blerd!ony, who’d always wanted to try the hobby but was afraid had some questions..among other things the next time he saw you. “I see how it is, best friend. You be putting that shit on.” you were infatuated with his humor and laid back personality so naturally, when he invited you to an anime cafe in your city, you accepted. blerd!ony, who was the perfect gentleman ensured that you had the best time as you two chopped it up about all things nerdy, making you laugh more than you had in a long time.

blerd!ony, who confided in you that he didn’t have many friends and especially ones into the things he was, told you how happy he was to have met you. “You cool as hell, we gotta do this more often.” a sentiment you agreed with heavily agreed with. Some time had passed and you two spoke nearly everyday. That’s when he revealed that he was not only interested in attending his first con but cosplaying as well, asked you accompany him..and pick a character! “I trust you, ma. Make me look good..” it was a no brainer as the two of you were huge fans of the Mortal Kombat series and decided to dress as Sindel and Shao Kahn. So the two of you spent days going to the fabric store and ordering materials to build props in your spare time..blerd!ony, who was turning heads the entire time when he revealed that Adonis like figure that had been hiding underneath that company polo everyday..you were nervous and even a little embarrassed walking beside someone so fine. but blerd!ony couldn’t keep his eyes off of you or hands..holding your left one, keeping you close and grasping the small of your back as he guided you through the crowds. Even carrying all of your bags and letting you rest your tired feet on his lap. blerd!ony, who had been eyeing you all day couldn’t help but to be entranced when it was time for the after party and the two of you were dancing with liquor in your system. “You full of surprises, huh mama?” “Try me and you might find out just how many.” blerd!ony, who couldn’t wait to get back to you guys’ hotel room, tore that costume open quicker than you could get the door open..leaving a trail of warm kisses down your neck as his fingers delved into your core, pinning you against the wall in the process. “You so fucking sexy..” muttering in your ear as he hiked your leg up and tugged his bottoms down. blerd!ony, who fucked you like a man starved that night had you grasping at things that weren’t even there..taking you from the mirror, to the dresser and eventually the bed, where he gave you deep backshots; grasping that platinum gray lace front on your head as he did so. “You don’t know how long I been wanting this..fuck..” blerd!ony, who had you fucking up the sheets all night, getting stretched by that thick cock with the curve, absolutely depleted you, so much so, you two barely made it around the convention the next day but he was glad that he had met the girl who loved the same things he did and the one of his dreams. <3

I went and played an IRL board game (Mansions of Madness) with my coworker and two of his friends on friday and was nicely surprised at it being fun instead of ‘uggh young gamer white boys’ like i was dreading after i told him i would come. And one of the others uses she/her pronouns, so hey, unexpected diversity!

I also got to punch cultists and was definitely way more excited about that (and also sarcastically bitter about many of the religious items/cards) than they were probably expecting. But as my coworker is very much naive and untraumatized by life and his friends seem the same, i tried to keep it surface-level laugh-off-able.

Goddamn it was exhausting though.

#my ramblings #also the number of ‘you’re fun’ and ‘you’re awesome’ was vaguely uncomfortable #i know y’all are apparently not used to New People but damn calm down #also the urge to go ‘thanks it’s the trauma and changling personality to suit the situation’ was so strong #also i have at least half a decade of nerd shit ahead of y’all at minimum #of course i know atla references #it’s not obscure pop culture references y’all are making ok

Look, I'm as salty about walled-garden Discords replacing public-facing forums as the next nerd, but you've gotta understand that the reason people generally aren't operating their own forums anymore isn't because they're lazy.

Entirely apart from the labour of moderating a forum without any infrastructure to fall back on – and that labour is considerable! – the fact of the matter is that most modern privately hosted forum communities only exist at all by virtue of their obscurity.

The ability of bad-faith actors to render a forum unusable vastly outstrips the ability of a typical private individual to combat those efforts. A privately hosted forum community survives right up until the moment it encounters That One Guy who's willing to spend every spare moment for the next several months launching DDoS attacks because someone disagreed with his weird reactionary politics one time or he got moderated for saying the N word – and in the modern era, the odds of encountering That One Guy are much greater than they were in the turn-of-the-millennium heyday of forum culture.

I genuinely don't know if there's a good solution to this problem, but it explains a whole lot about the contemporary move toward non-public-facing, invitation-only communities; for all their shortcomings, the fact that they generally don't have to deal with this shit is a big perk.
