Monster Characters as Social Media Influencers

My mind has been plagued by the worst thoughts

Kenzo Tenma: He’s fine. He’s not online. He is fighting a losing battle to convince everyone else to reduce social media consumption

Eva Heinemann: Fashion TikTok/instagrammer who talks about thrifting and selling pieces for like $400 girlboss style, promotes MLMs

Heinrich Lunge: Full time internet sleuth, part time doxxer

Wolfgang Grimmer: Niche video essayist, big “this is just a brief look into the topic....don’t look at the video length” energy

Johan Liebert: NFT and crypto rugpull schemer, for the fun of it

Nina Fortner: Streamer who reacts to videos / drama / discourse / events and pulls out her schooling in law when applicable

Lotte Frank: Twitter/TikTok journalist of the “I asked random people about ___” variety where it frames the people being asked as stupid to make her point

Rudi Gillen: True Crime podcaster

Roberto: Alpha Male lifestyle coach

#naoki urasawa's monster #sorry this is terrible #this was all brought on by 'what if gillen true crime podcaster' and I wanted to know everyone else's horrible modern online personas lol #also idk where those fashion people actually post I assume it's tiktok and insta but I don't use either of those. I just know they exist #if tenma was actually an influencer it would probably be for like genuine health and help but its funnier having him be Not Online #anyway this is crack and probably not as funny as it was in my head

I drew something for TBoCI for the first time in what feels like forever even though it’s only been a month

Something something AU where instead of sending each kid to the Magical Islands FT keeps all them with him and Perry as well so they ALL end up on Cold Island pre-collapse… Alternatively here’s four canon characters and two fanmade characters, guess whos who (all of that was sarcasm)

In other words I decided I will starting this over from the ground-up. It’s been over a year and my motivation is finally, FINALLY back. I will be keeping all of the current stuff on @theballadofcoldisland but that ask blog is officially shut down and is now just an archive.

Instead of being one long and strange story that only focuses on characters that honestly have nothing to do with the title, I will split TBoCI into several smaller stories that give a MUCH better insight on the motivations, groups, and the like. I will inevitably share the original files, drafts, and ideas.

This is the part where I get somewhat emotional and sincere apologies in advance to plushii, who I might mention in there. All good things, my friend. All good things.

I think this is the best course of action. There are a lot of characters in this story that despite being incredibly important, are not addressed properly or not at all until the last chapter that only exists in my notes. I mean… A massive amount of this story has only been discussed in a discord chat with a person I cannot contact anymore. It’s a massive mess of an idea that sounds stupider everytime I think of it.

And then a long while ago now, I was on Pony Town and talking to a friend I has just made. I distinctly remember they were in a Celestial skin. I think at some point they’d asked what “TBoCI” meant in my name, and I explained my story to them. They said they were writing a fanstory for MSM as well. I encouraged them to post it.

Now I daily see wonderful, wonderful content for that story, both from the creator and the fans. I finally understood what I did wrong. TBoCI was incoherent and messy where Fallen Stars was clean and consistent. I had so much in my mind that I had spilled it all out to One Person, and now there exists only two people in the world who know who the hell Kane is (possibly only one person now)!

What I’m trying to say is, in short, thanks @plushii-gutz . There’s a few factors to me being able to write TBoCI again, but you’re definitely the biggest part of that. Our encounter was a blessing.

And to everyone, please look forward to a much smoother ride. This is a fun one.

#*cracks knuckles* here i go embarrassing myself on the embarrassment website again #my singing monsters #the ballad of cold island #fallen stars msm #really surreal seeing those tagged side by side. really surreal #serious post #sorry for how much i speak i really needed to make things clear #first part will be to decide the new protagonist #it fucking. changed each chapter #i think because of how important this character inevitably becomes its gotta be.. #either Ripple or someone in Troupe Bungie or Sammy #Sammy would be a really good protagonist but the ANGST POTENTIAL if a TB member is it is OFF THE CHARTS #and Ripple is. Ripple is the MAIN FACTOR in what ending we get. all good options #i’ll think on that some more. main antagonist ..??? #main antag depends on whos the protag.. if ripple then society/self for the two for one combo #if sammy? felon. if a TB member then that ALSO depends #its kinda like.. against each other but ALSO time itself and/or felon. oh god #ok yeah sammy is def the best option for a general story structure and in every scene possible that hes in. ok? ok #i’ll do more thinkin. love how casual these tags are compared to. *checks notes* #.a comment on whether or not an actual person is alive or dead. *rips notes* oKaY

Sometimes I'm surprised that monster hunter isn't more popular among the creature design and spec evo corners of tumblr, at least the portions that also play video games, and then I remember that it's just about as hard as soulsborne games (I'd argue some specific entries are even harder) but doesn't have any of the atmospheric or story elements to attract people. It gets by on sheer gameplay alone and isn't a pvp game either. There is no way to make the game easier besides picking one of the less mechanically complex weapons and git gud. If it wasn't for the neat dinosaurs I couldn't think of a game less alluring to the average tumblr user

#a lot of other games it's a combination of escaping into another world with stuff like immersion and story #monster hunter as an ip adamantly refuses to elaborate about the world it takes place in #there is no overarching story and there's basically no lore with few exceptions e.g. fatalis but even that's really barebones #mh is just like. you're a hunter. now go kick the shit out of dinosaurs with your giant guts sword #there have been a lot of memes over the years about how it also doesn't have a tutorial it just expects you to figure it out #it has extensive ''explain how this works'' popups but they only exist for certain mechanics #and somehow half the time manage to communicate nothing of use #but actually important stuff like ''how do i use this weapon'' are not explained ANYWHERE within the game itself #and it has some of the most complicated mechanics i've ever seen in a real-time combat game i.e. charge blade and hunting horn pre rise #it just does the equivalent of giving you a gun you need a master's degree to operate at full potential and throws you to the wolves #and if you try to naively look up how some of the weapons work you get multi-page hard-to-parse essays #i STILL don't know how hunting horn works pre-rise because every time i try to read a guide my eyes glaze over #like there are perhaps few other franchises more unfriendly to an ''easy mode my beloved''-type person #not to rag on those people. there's nothing wrong with that but some games are just NOT going to work with you in that way #i pretty much only like it because i'm unfortunately a Tryhard Gamer #and the feeling of being a small human killing a dragon god by sheer skill and willpower is like crack cocaine to me #i would be more frustrated by mh's lack of any lore to speak of if it weren't for the gameplay injecting dopamine straight into my brain

Honestly I wish we’d gotten more scenes with Hawks and Dabi acting all buddy-buddy. The amount of shenanigans you could do with that, when they never trusted each other from the start and yet still kept up the act until the Raid, is so funny to think about

#being friendly with each other until one of them cracks #arms around each other acting like they've been friends for years #dodging each other's questions about their Tragic Pasts and laughing stuff off goodnaturedly #even tho they're seconds from breaking from their acts to beat the shit out of each other #when The Betrayal finally comes and dabi shoots fire into the room and admits he never trusted him #hawks: oh yeah? well i never liked your singing! #dabi: i only sang because i knew you hated it! #hawks: just so you know i destroyed those friendship necklaces you stole! on purpose! #dabi: when you went to the meeting with twice? you DID have food stuck in your teeth! #hawks: *GASPS* you MONSTER!! #twice: *just trying to fucking survive* #we could have had it all #bnha #dabi todoroki #hawks #mettys posts #metty posts

the more i learn about stranger things the more i realize that it is really just one long scp tale that was slightly altered for consumption of the general public.

#like weird sience experiemnts being made on children with powers(TM) #weird facilities and ?government? scientists #a fucking paralell dimension that is just a mirror of our world but with a toxic atmosphere and weird slimy tissue an everything #and a weird monster #all in one #also its a bit less depressing #because scp tales have a tendency to be either crack or the most profound and heartwrenching piece of literature you have ever read #im still not entirely recovered from reading major tom #and those guys in the hazmat suits that get sent into the upsidedown in the beginning might as well just be mobile taskforce agents #they certainly die like they are #mtf agents dont last that long #idk like in universe they are always treated as really important and idk #but in the actual files and stories they always fucking die #or get like stuck in gehenna for the rest or eternity #wich is basically dying #also i am trying really hard to resis the urge to write essie p instead of scp #anyways i just finished the first season so yeah #that show will probably go off the rails a bit in the next seasons #idk what to expect lol #but i will watch it because i have nothing else to do rn #and i wanna stop myself from binge reading the entire sandman series #because i think that would cause my brain to melt before the summer break even starts #wich btw is really soon and i am excited but also scared #because its my last summer break #after that comes q12 and then i will graduate #wich is low key scary #stuff #text #scp #idk

i honestly think wild blue yonder might be my least favorite donna episode (its been a while since i revisted season 4 so no promises but... im pretty confident) and whats getting me is its like they pulled the scary parts from stuff like waters of mars and midnight and then took out the things that make those episodes good which is the OTHER PEOPLE

#honestly i thought they were gonna be the midnight monsters somehow. which wouldve been bad so im glad that wasnt it #r.txt #dw #again the fact that i hate the body horror element. which is what i would call it even though i suppose its mild as body horror goes. #but maybe not idk. its something i avoid. #anyway that did not help with my enjoyment #but if it had been a GOOD EPISODE i couldve gotten over it #the cracked skin in waters of mars is very hard for me to look at but its one of the best episodes of the show #im also a hell bent hater btw and i dont think this is similar per se but like i dont tend to like episodes without a lot of characters #and im a bottle episode enjoyer like put those guys in a pressure cooker yes #but do something INTERESTING. and this was not interesting.
