#the nostalgia feels i love it so much

[agrebel18]

friendly reminder that the hexsquad was initiated because of three kids of color who found love and acceptance in each other after being considered ‘freaks’ especially adding that they all got mistreaten by the very limiting school system

#and they’re all VERY neurodivergent coded people (luz more than the other two but still) #and luz and Willow are canonically queer plus I think Gus is too #i love amity and hunter ESPECIALLY after they joined the squad but I’m feeling the nostalgia right now #anyways. their friendship means so much to me <3 #I’m missing them right now #willow park #luz noceda #gus porter #hexsquad #hextrio #toh #the owl house #og hexsquad

so when are we gonna start appreciating undertale AUs for fueling a metric fuck ton of the creativity and longevity of the fandom because if i see one more person calling them the cringiest part of the last 8 years i might lose it

#trousled rants #been feeling a bit salty about this for a while but im letting it out now because i Can #but its insane seein ppl say “oh the fandom's mellowed out a lot its way more peaceful now” and agreeing bc it IS #and then “yeah now that AUs aren't so popular anymore its way more bearable” and its like :) okay #and if i told you that fan game you've been talking about for the past month is an au. what then #sighsghs its just like man i GET that a lot of aus are just edgy for the sake of it but shit dude!!! people were just having fun!!!!! #a lot of them were an avenue for ppl learning how to make their own stories!! even if they're not perfect or in character #making a shit ton of papyrus aus is one of the main things that helped me realize how much i love character design #and i KNOWWWW i'm not the only one and youre trying to tell me that's not awesome as hell!!!!! #yeah i probably i have nostalgia glasses but maybe i do kinda miss when everybody was a bit more insane actually . maybe i do #undertale

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that I am just....so unbelievably tired.

#pride and prejudice #jane austen #elizabeth bennet #fitzwilliam darcy #EDIT: #listen i am just so tired anymore #like its summer and i love that but i feel like I've reached my mental reserves #everything feels like too much and not enough all at the same time #everything feels like its on fire and so i just burrow into my little tumblr cave bc its safe and happy and there is no pressure #and yet its weird to try to squeeze back into this little place ive carved out for myself when i was less active for a while #but its like coming back to your childhood bedroom or any place that brings happiness and nostalgia and everything that good with the world #and i dont think want to leave it again #i want to make the fluffiest little nest and plop down for all eternity and recharge the entirety of me

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

hold on i need to get a thought and emotions out. so with Welcome Home, there seems to be a before and an after. obviously, we're in the after. the website is the after. and if it turns out that the story we see, the one where shit hits the fan and the show is practically erased, then... that already happened. whatever horrors we see, we'll know that there is no saving them. there is no happy ending - it happened, and it's tragic. the show is doomed to end and be scrubbed away. if any of the characters are revealed to be dead/gone by the website, then when/if we see them at an earlier point, we'll Know

and there's a special kind of dread and horror in that for us, the audience.

#im not articulating this the way i want to... #it's like going to see a tragic play. like romeo and juliet for instance. #we go into it knowing the end. they die. no matter what they die. every step they take leads to That End #every happy moment is undercut by the knowledge that it won't last #thinking about this makes me think that at some point learning more about the story/characters is gonna feel like digging up a grave #AGH I LOVE IT THOUGH I LOVE IT. IT HURTS SO MUCH BUT I LOVE IT #its a special feeling of dread/nostalgia/bittersweetness/resignation #and that is sensation in the chest that doesnt feel good but it also does somehow? it hurts but just enough to not be unbearable? #welcome home #welcome home speculation #welcome home puppet show #man i am so so so so scared for the puppets lmfao #i have some theories on the ways shit might go down. like little things. souring relationships and such #i also have a feeling that the story is really gonna hit home (ha) for me in Big Ways #like as soon as i saw clown say that it's kinda about 'when does a home become a house' and stuff #OOF. YIKES. WHEN DOES IT INDEED. i mean i know. ive lived it. im Living it. #this is gonna get unintentionally personal Real Fast in Several Fun And Festive Ways for me huh #i wonder if the story is gonna be uncovered linearly or not... #chewing on it chewing on it chewing on it #i can't wait to Understand the world/characters so that i can write fanfic. i want to so badly. i want to Explore #i want to hop into that grave and keep digging

if the only footage youve seen of the game doesnt actually give you a good idea of what the game/story is like (like its from a parody video or is otherwise heavily edited for example) then it doesnt count as having watched the game and you should pick little to no actual exposure to the game. only interacting with the games content through fanart/fanfic/etc also counts as little to no actual exposure to the game

#okay heres another one. #now that im thinking about it i probably should have put a button for people who arent sonic fans to push #so they dont mess up the results. but again. no room. i used up all the space there was to have as many options as possible #so hopefully people who dont care about sonic will just scroll past this #sonic the hedgehog #sth #sonic forces #sonic polls #anyway ive played sonic forces in its entirety like 3 or 4 times at least . because theres something deeply wrong with me . #(to be clear i havent touched the game in a while. im not regularly playing sonic forces) #as for my opinion on it . there are aspects of it that i like and i admittedly have some nostalgia for the game #but i can also admit that its not very good and there are a lot of things about it that i dont like or wish were done differently #im just not a big fan of the 2010s era of sonic in general if im being honest #feels like not as much care and love was being put into the games as before i dont know how to explain it

Kelif - Meltwater Pulse?

Yesss my khajiit son🌙💙 Thank you for the request !

#palette challenge #eso #khajiit #kelif #my art #really happy about this one #at first i wasn't sure i would do it #i still love this chara but i have kinda complicated feelings about some pre-2019 related creations #and i was afraid this would just trigger some kinda meh nostalgia #but not at all ! #it was refreshing re-drawing my guy in current artstyle and with new artistic vibes ! #(this was very much influenced by witch hat atelier if you can't tell xD) #so thank you ! ♥ #the elder scrolls online

strange new worlds is not doing enough strange or new for me

#strange new worlds #snw critical #the nostalgia bait show is failing to both provide nostalgia or give me a new reason to watch #the writing is so solid overall and it’s so pretty and the cast is giving so much effort and yet it just feels stuck #and impeded by canon #and the episodic format both helps and hinders this #I get that it’s supposed to TOS-esque in that way but there’s a reason why I routinely forget half that show #as opposed to TNG or DS9 #also in this specific ep DSC did so much heavy lifting to give us a plausible new Spock and SNW Spock is….. #not right even just in comparison to his original appearance let alone TOS Spock #where’s his bitchiness and his love of science and his barely logically supported batshit ideas where did he go #it’s like for every five minutes Spock being himself #we get an episode of purposefully OOC Spock and it’s throwing me off #and that would be fine but other than him and Pike no one is getting substantial development #how was season 1 better with this im so very confused

#one from slightly further away under the cut so you can actually see the rest of their beak. but i thought the closer one was funnier #starly #this is another one of those “default early route birds” to me. though i think this is one of my faves just because of the feather patterns #the design is pretty. if i saw a bird in real life that looked like this i would think it's pretty. and i've always liked the sounds it does #i dunno maybe it's nostalgia talking bc gen 4 was the game i played a lot as a kid despite gen 6 being my favorite gen #but i don't even remember what the early-route bird *is* for gen 6. off the top of my head. at this moment. i don't even know #i can try to list them all in order #kanto‚ pidgey; johto……… uuuuhhhh……………… fffuck i'm already having a rough time. gen 3 is taillow. i know that. gen 4 starly‚ gen 5 the uhhh #bitch that evolves into unfezant i don't remember their name. gen 6 who fucking knows‚ gen 7 who fucking knows #okay wow i just googled a list i didn't even think of half of these as early route birds. pidgey‚ spearow‚ wingull?? i dunno #taillow feels more like an early route bird to me. starly‚ #PIDOVE that's their name‚ fletchling which i LOVE but i always just remember the fucking pidgey you always encounter first #pikipek whatever i didn't play gen 7 very much‚ rookidee i remembered evolves into corviknight and then i knew wattrel. bc i was like #wow it's an electric-type! i probably look like a total fake pokémon knower right now and well uh #i am. not. a fake pokémon knower. i'm a pokémaster i promise this just isn't a category of pokémon i think about very often

[mysticsnoopy]

i feel there's... such a weird duality of older tmnt fans not liking rottmnt for it's changes and new tmnt fans not being open to older versions of tmnt because their introduction was rottmnt.

#snoopy babbles #i say this as someone who was aware of some tmnt stuff but rottmnt was my formal introduction to the series #but i still love older and newer versions of tmnt! i still gotta watch like... a whole backlog of stuff to watch #but i feel that if you get caught up in the nostalgia or the shiny new wrapper youre gonna miss so much of whats so enjoyable about them #tmnt

[kiisaes]

every now and again i reread "always raining here" and get so got dam emotional !!! FUCK !!! that's my EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BL WEBCOMIC RIGHT THERE !!!!!!!!

CHECK IT OUT AND SUPPORT THE CREATORS IF U FEEL INCLINED

#THE GOAT OF GOATS #THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL #as a 14 y/o i loved it for the narrative and the characters #but now as a 21 y/o i appreciate it so much for like. everything it is #it's a product of its time but still stands strong more than a decade later #a down to earth and snarky story about two teenage boys .. full of heart ... full of drama ... full of laffs ... #the art steals my breath away every time too especially as the comic goes on #i'm glad that this was my first original bl series bc while my feelings for it now are definitely fueled by nostalgia #it's also just. genuinely a nice piece of fiction. and helped me a lot as an insufferable teen #GRRRAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH #always raining here #becki rambles about stuff

[faragonreblogs]

I have a feeling I'm the only human being on this entire planet who unironically loves the male Au Ra running animation. I hate when people say the devs should change it cause I legitimately don't want them to.

Like, I dunno mang, with every other race I feel like I'm doing a light lil baby jog through the park, but with my au ra I'm RUNNIN!! I'M GOIN PLACES!! I'M ON A MISSION!!! HELP IS ON THA WAY DEAR!!!

Anyways this corner is lonely but idfc I like how my boy runs. rant over.

#ffxiv #au ra #there I said it #idc what anyone says #I love how my boy runs and I wouldn't trade it. #also as an animator I don't find it that comparable to 'crash bandicoot' running animation. #I feel like everyone hopped on that comparison cause one person said it and then everyone just went with that. #it's got way more of a Jak from Jak and Daxter vibe to me... even the way they jump is the same. Much more bouncy and leaning forward etc #It's hitting that nostalgia aspect for me cause of that. maybe that's why I love it so much. #ramble #rant #sorry had to get it off my chest #Was in a vc with some people all complaining about how 'ugly' the male au ra run is and I just had to sit there and take it. It sucked.

those two shots from the first episode of oniakashi showing satoko's reflection as her witch self, as she observes rena spacing out because of her home problems, and the second shot where she's presumably thinking of how she's going to inject rena at the nurse office struck me. satoko is so alienated from her surroundings after looping through her trauma for so long that it feels to her like everything is a 'dream'. she's so emotionally disconnected from the people she cares about as if she were separated by a glass wall. it's a literal interpretation of depersonalization/derealization.

satoko has now entirely compartmentalized the idea that she's doing anything bad. she's completely distanced herself from the violence she's committing towards herself and others. this is no different from a club game or one of her many traps. nothing is real including her friends until she's happy. until the reality wherein she can survive is within her grasp. everything else is a delusion and her friends are just pieces on the gameboard.

still, satoko gives rena the grief and remorse she doesn't give to mion, because rena has always fought against fate - the same fate satoko believes mion has not had to suffer through before that she and rena always do. satoko makes rena much like herself, that way they can be together in this.

rena's reaction to rina and her feeling that she has to kill rina in oniakashi is a parallel to satoko's reaction to rika and st. lucia as a whole. it's this sense that no matter what nothing can get better unless you commit an absolute. a certainty. others will not change or be better if you talk things out with them. satoko sympathizes with rena because she sees much of herself in rena.

it's different with mion whom satoko injects out of curiosity, the curiosity to see something she's never seen before playing out, but that's also an expression of her resentment towards mion - resentment because mion never had to go through what she and the others did while also being complicit in her ostracization and othering as a sonozaki in her mind. there's jealousy there. a bite of biterness. it's why satoko loses all the sympathy she had for rena when she's dealing with mion. satoko feels guilt over making rena go L5, but all of this is goes out of the window when it comes to mion. that's purposeful.

every fragment satoko weaves with eua is just another duel!!!!!!

duels are all about making Duelists and Brides relive anthy and akio's problems. it validates akio's horrible solution as akio is looking for the power to reinforce his worldview that enables his abuse of women and anthy. eua is the same. eua has turned her despair + loneliness into boredom and she sees the world as a stage to relieve that, but she only counts on the cruelty of the children of man. the savagery of the loops reinforces her worldview and validates her manipulation of satoko and her perspective of people.

satoko and anthy are also making them relive their trauma in a similar way, but they're more justified. satoko and anthy are trying to escape, find love, destroy themselves and their loved one. [REDACTED] from umineko is like them too btw.

the akashis are all about the thematics and parallels. gousotsu as a whole is. very utena!

#higurashi #higurashi gou #higurashi sotsu #satoko houjou #gamo.txt #those arcs aren't mere retreads they're different takes on earlier arcs with differences and those differences serve an important purpose!! #gousotsu is simultaneously a thematic remake AND a sequel #and to engage with gousotsu you need to engage with the former as much as the latter #gousotsu is a love letter to the survivors who want to improve but still need to lean on this feeling again enough to prop themselves up #it's a walk through memories and nostalgia for us and for satoko #it's revisiting and re-enacting and trying to understand because problems still exist in different forms #it wants to simmer in those feelings and thoughts #it wants to simmer in what makes things worthwhile to revisit once again #it wants to simmer in what truly makes something a remake #it's going through all of those events again but this time from the specific angle of what they mean for satoko #the entire show is satoko soaking herself in all these events and feelings again #the akashis are really fun concepts to me because they're all about being different takes on arcs from the original #oniakashi is all about giving you a more sympathetic take on rina whom i'd argue was handled a little poorly as a sex worker in the origina #and i like how it implicitly addresses some of rena's internalized misogyny in doing so #wataakashi is all about addressing how mion has always been passive/cowardly to a fault while also giving her an arc of her own #it's where sotsu messed up the most but it's still fun to chew on these concepts and i like what it was going for! #tatariakashi is the culmination of the critique of satoko being a damsel in distress in the original and a deconstruction of that #it's a critique of the message of unity and forgiveness etc etc and recognizing traumas can't be erased and happy endings are elusive #because the harm was still done #people don't want to admit that the world rika created covered up the original problems especially for satoko #who got the short end of the stick in terms of a real higurashi ending which is why they see this as a sick joke #sorry if this makes no sense to anyone i may be insane

[thedarklordgivenofucks]

I just wanna go out on a limb and say that the Deadlands characters were probably the most lovable cast out of any oxventure series and I am desperately hoping for a season 2

#oxventure deadlands #oxventure #I mean I loved the bitd characters #and who wouldn't love the original cast if only out of nostalgia #but. the deadlands characters feel so well rounded #and they have so much chemistry #i love them #it's honestly so hard to pick a favorite

[inpursuitofnunchi]

Me: *decides to watch A Time Called You thinking it's a cute scifi romcom*
