Villain Trust Stories playlist

Finally uploaded all my Villain trust story recordings onto Youtube! I will upload event stories on another day lol

Also-- I don't have Overhaul or Nagant in MHUI asghjk. So don't expect their stories to be listed here.

#bnha #mhui #mhui: video #i will update this playlist as i get more characters lol #(tho i will keep posting on tumblr first ff) #ALSO where is s/pinner i KNOW he can be a support unit or something what the heck 😭🔪🔪

[spandexual]

this probably won't gain any traction because I'm not a popular blogger who reblogs things with giant text and shouty language but ffs dudes and dudettes grow up and use ytdlp instead of relying on dodgy sites and ridiculously complex tumblr tutorials by people who think they're a lot smarter than they actually are. here's an interface that makes it super easy. you can download videos from basically any site with this. youtube. rutube. dailymotion. youku. niche japanese gay porn websites. probably not niche japanese pro wrestling livestreams? doesn't work on wrestle universe at least. fucking idk PRETTY much whatever you want. it does playlists and video>audio too. you copy the video url. you click where it says to paste the url. it downloads. that's it. you can make it more complex if you want. but I always believe in the sacred and just rule of K.I.S.S

I'm in deep shit and everything i own might be looked through by CPS so i need to log out of my side emails for a bit and shit and omfg why did life do this to me

That night I got high, my friend decided to tell the office 'one of her friends' (who they guessed was me) said a various amount of things in snap messages, which she read most of them out loud and played the audio from that video of my parents arguing

She said she didn't intend for it to go too far, and that she only wanted them to get a gist of what was happening and not guess who it was (just incase they did need to step in or if I actually really badly hurt or killed myself). But they called me in for the counselor, and now CPS is involved since my friend read one of our messages where i said i didn't feel safe in my home

So CPS came to my house today after telling me they would at my school, and now they're coming here AGAIN later to LOOK THROUGH MY ROOM AND EVEN MY DEVICES TO SEE SHIT ON MY SOCIALS AND IF I POSE A DANGER TO MYSELF

they all know i lied to my parents and said that the person who reported me reported a couple other people, and were trying to start drama. Idk if the principal knows all of this but I'm gonna try to lie to him because:

My father called the school to know who called CPS and the principal told him i had a trans bf, and that i said i was in the LGBTQ

THE PRINCIPAL OUTED ME FFS I WAS AVOIDING THIS ALL YEAR

HE HAS NO FUCKING RIGHT TO OUT ME HE HAS NO FUCKING RIGHT

CPS is coming back and idk when, but i have a plan and it's my only hope..it's such a small hope and the chances of it working need a fucking miracle, but if this doesn't work? I will literally kill myself. If CPS doesn't take me away at that point, life would be miserable. My father is convinced that I'm only wanting to attend that vocational school next year because my 'sick girlfriend' is going and I want to be with 'her'. So if he gets in, then my father said that I can't attend it. He literally told me to go and tell my bf to call off attending the vocational school and if he doesn't, then he'd be ruining my dreams of a career

MY FATHER IS GOING TO RUIN MY WHOLE FUCKING FUTURE IF SOME TRANS GUY GETS INTO THE SCHOOL I WANT TO ATTEND AND HES TRYING TO MAKE ME BLAME HIM

TO. HIS. FACE.

But thankfully, my little inkling of hope has appeared and I might be able to cover this all up. But, after all of this, me and my bf will have to hide in public, and I won't be able to be out at school at all.

I'm not going through my plan here, I'm just telling you guys your part. I need this or else my life is on the line. Quite literally, it's fucking scary.

First, I'm logging out of all of my secrets Gmails, and making a new Tumblr account. I need the people who I'm writing stories with to make alt accounts (@oatsynalliums and @technicolor-chocolate) that pretend to be either indiscrete or just blatantly not LGBTQ, and pretend like we've been talking about our stories for a while in our messages

Second, never ever interact with any accounts that might link back to my main, or yours. And try to avoid LGBTQ content so that it won't pop up on my dashboard due to you interacting with it

Three, someone TRUSTWORTHY keep track of my Gmail passwords and write them down to tell me later so that they won't get found on anything I own, so I can log back into them later

Four, someone who's smart and knows a lot about the internet and how sites work, answer me some questions in messages

This is DIRE. I could DIE. I am begging you guys to go alon with this part of the plan, and don't question anything since I am scrambling like crazy to put this whole thing into motion I EVEN INTERRUPTED MY FRIEND IN THE MIDDLE OF HER JOB TO CALL HER ON SNAP AND SHE NEEDED TO GET AN EXCUSE FROM HER MANAGER SO I CAN TALK TO HER CUZ ITS THIS URGENT I COULDNT EVEN WAIT UNTIL SHE WAS OFF OF WORK

PLEASE FUCKING HELP IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE

Don't know why i'm writing this, maybe it could be cathartic, maybe it could help me find some other friends here.

Don't know why i'm using all these photos to write this post.

It's been ages since I last posted on this platform, and it was about a completely different subject.

Nothing wrong with that, of course. but my tumblr's nickname is based on that very person, so it's strange to change all of a sudden.

I've always felt a particular connection with music. It helped me through a lot: when I was being bullied at school for my weight, when nobody wanted me, when everything at university seemed to be falling apart.

But i've always been a little bit reluctant to try new singers and bands. That's when my friends came to stop this habit of mine.

They sent me photos of this fella right there in these photos, and I was like "ok, he's hot but does he make good music?". It turned out that yes, he makes good music. But I was only listening to 2 or 3 songs, so I didn't really had that much to judge.

But my friends, who are big fans of The 1975, practically forced me to buy a ticket to go to the SATVB Tour in Milan. It would have been an occasion for us to reunite (I live in Turin, they live in Milan and we don't see each other that often now that we work). So we bought tickets like a year ago and almost forgot about it.

The day of the concert was coming and honestly, I was feeling a little bit under the weather because of some things that were happening in my life last month. I had to drive for an hour and half (back and forth) to go there and I was alone in the car. Tiredness, money, time: everything was worrying me.

But I went anyway. Just to see my precious friends.

I started to study the setlist some days before the concert, just to shout some other lyrics rather than the only ones I knew. I was stunned by the verses, the words they used, the voice Matty has and the melodies the band uses in their songs. I went to the concert not knowing what to expect, maybe one of the usual concert I went to.

But boy, was I wrong.

Singing those song was liberating. I took some videos and then I tried to enjoy the rest of the show. Sometimes I was just admiring the stage, admiring Matty and how well he performes and owns the scene. My friends was like: "are you still on this Earth?". That was the right question, because I felt like I was being moved to another dimension where just the band and me were there. Nobody else existed.

I was unthinkingly worshipping Matty.

In the next days, I also recouped all the interviews, claiming that it was just to "practice my listening skills with British accent" - I work in an English private school and I've studied foreing languages at university. But it wasn't just that, ofc.

That's how my "obsession" started lol

All this wall of text to say that I need to make friends here. Because I noticed a lot of wonderful users that 1) write ff so beautifully 2) are so damn funny 3) have my same interests 4) helped me with my obsession lol

Since I'm new to this fanclub, I would like to chat with somebody who could explain me all the inside jokes or all the memes that sometimes I find on IG. And why not, practice my English as well.

My inbox is always open!

Love ya all.

*trigger warning racism, extreme anger, slurs, suicide baiting, bullying, harassment and more*

So now there’s been made a screenshot of me using a horrible racist slur.

This screenshot is FAKE!

I DID NOT USE THAT SLUR! NOR WOULD I EVER!! Let’s see the rest! The convo where I wrote such a thing. It doesn’t exist! This is a campaign in wanting me terminated. Why would I ever say such a thing? In what scenario would that ever apply?? THINK! Don’t just take what these ppl are saying and run with it - IT IS NOT TRUE!

There’s a group with a core of maybe 1-3 ppl that’s been obsessing and harassing me to no ends for months now and I haven’t addressed it cus I didn’t wanna give them what they so desperately crave; attention! I would never use the n-word, and I’m just.. blown away by how evil and conniving ppl can be. For what reason?? To constantly be bombarded by this person/people and I still genuinely do not know why!? WHY???

What the FUCK have I done to deserve this?

Why do I deserve this?

To log on and see — This. Among so many other messages I’ve stopped counting. To be greeted with this when I log on. WHY? I haven’t done anything ffs!! I am a “racist, transphobic antisemite”? Seriously?? And the proof is a screenshot that’s not even real!??

They’ve also relentlessly called me every name under the sun; fat, ugly, have combared my face to someone else, made videos mocking my appearance, mocked my mental health, anxiety depression and me being on disability because of it, mocking me for being on medication for said illnesses, that I’m a ‘pathetic jealous cunt’, called me a bad person cus I’m pro choice etc. I didn’t bite because I started to genuinely feel bad for this person/ppl. Not in the sarcastic “aww this is sad” but no seriously! Because this is not lots of ppl, it’s a few who makes account upon account and who does not stop talking about me and making up everything under the sun to have me terminated. That’s their ultimate goal. And that is sad! It’s sad that I have to even make this post! Please don’t believe their bs!

On everything I hold holy, I would never ever say such a thing to anyone! Ever!

~ As I’ve said time and time again, I use tumblr as an escape! I make moodboards because it’s therapeutic to me (- not for clout (?) who makes mb’s for clout?!). I don’t sit here with racist, transphobic and antisemitic agendas while I’m hiding under some “cottagecore cover”. I just want to escape my life for a little while and hopefully have others do the same in the process! It’s that simple!

#im stunned by all this #luckily ppl see this bs for what it is: bs! #it was my grandfather who passed away btw #a grandfather I loved dearly #I have been suicidal for years #would it make u happy if I actually died? like seriously? #please tell me what I did to ever deserve this

[physicsfox7]

You sly dog, you got me monologuing!

Why not?

So I've gotten back into FFXIV pretty hard since I tried it last year. A few friends really pushed me, and I'm enjoying it. Good story, good music. The combat still feels a little bit wonky, but I'm an old school FF player and this is my first MMORPG.

The best times are when my friends aren't busy and they can run dungeons with me, or we explore areas they've seen 100 times and as I explore this new place they tell me about it's history and memories they have of it.

The game is mindblowingly gorgeous. Every time I revisit Gridania and sneak back to my favorite perch at The Hawthorne Hut, I am entranced by the leaves flowing in the wind, the rain falling on a roof, or the ridiculous amount of stars shining in the night sky.

(I know, anyone who's played already knows this, sue me; I am sprout.)

A couple of weeks ago we ran the Alexander raids together, and it was an absolute joy to watch experts play and simultaneously nurture their adopted sprout. Yesterday we visited Ivalice, and I was able to fall in love with the FFT soundtrack all over again and see old friends.

The community has been extremely kind. When my friends are busy, or trying to find some peace for themselves (or hitting the new expansion hard!) and I am left to my own devices, I have come across almost universal support. New job class and running a dungeon for the first time? They'll give you tips, let you run at your own pace, and when you screw up? They pick you up, dust you off, and encourage you to try again.

An unintentional side effect of immersing myself in another FF universe is RP. And no, not ERP. Although that exists, I have not had an opportunity to explore it. (I'm 100x more shy in a video game than on Tumblr, go figure)

We go to a quiet bar, torment ourselves with exotic food that we don't get to eat and drinks that sound terrifying or delectable. Sometimes both. And we talk. We talk to each other, as our characters. Intricate backstories that span a whole game and four expansions, almost 1000 primary quests. These folks have spent years perfecting their characters story.

Now, I had no concept of how in depth this was when I walked into that bar. A simple question about where you're from can spawn conversations that run for hours, with everyone having an opinion on the country you're from. Just don't be Garlean. My first night, I was asked what I do for a living. I said adventurer, because that's a fairly typical answer. I was immediately swept under their wing, to be given tips on how to clear Copperbell more efficiently, what weapon I should be carrying, where to find the cheapest gear that will protect you and look good.

My god, the clothes in this game. Hundreds of articles for each portion of the body. There's a whole website dedicated to picking out the perfect outfit for your gunslinger or white mage.

The best trick? Have loving friends who send you the really sick Converse/Vans, despite your protests. When you push them for why? Because I wanted them. (For reference, decent boots run 30k gil on the market board, the Converse/Vans run 750k because the materials are hard to come by. Needless to say, I have run the last 28 levels wearing orange sneakers, and I look fucking good doing it.

So back to the RP, the original point of this post. Last week, I was sitting in the bar talking about places I wanted to visit (in character, I have already been there for the quests). Mor Dhona was mentioned, as it's the site of on of the most pivotal moments in the story: The Calamity.

When it was recommended to me, my character pulled out a worn leather journal and wrote it down. An innocuous but important detail, to make the immersion feel deeper. The journal was passed around, returned to me, and eventually put away. Not even a physical thing, it spurned a long conversation about the adventurer's life, and the trials they undergo.

Then, my brain said something to me a couple of days ago. What if the journal was real? Tangible, physical, something detailing my characters adventures as that happen, stuffed with "drawings" (my character can draw, I cannot. At all. I have an ink jet printer and an app that converts jpegs into very convincing sketches) and souvenirs from his adventure's?

Sounds a bit silly, but it would be an easy way for me to track the details of conversations, and giving me a little arts and crafts project, as a treat.

So I did it. I bought a (frankly overpriced) leather journal with a compass rose sewn onto the cover with black thread. Beautiful sturdy leather and crisp cream pages.

Then I set about bringing it half way to destroyed. A leather journal carried in the field, through the rain and rivers, into combat, through the snow and up mountains does not stay immaculate for long. My character has had the journal for about 4 months, so I needed to beat it up and give myself a head start. Scuff the leather, soften the edges, curl the whole thing so it never sits flat. Drip a little bit of sealing wax on the cover, put small punctures into the back and knicks out of the corners.

The pages? Some got the tea treatment, to try to age them. No dice, this damn modern paper is resistant to stains. Water stains are forthcoming, but I am an impatient being and already started writing in it. Then a revelation came to me.

I am an absolutely massive fan of FFVIII. Obsessed with it. I know the names of every song in the OST and where each song is used, I have the Lionheart necklace and ring, I have beaten Omega on multiple occasions for fun. Anyone who knows me know I am an FFVIII nerd, and I ain't sorry.

So when I was designing my character last year, the face has scar options. Well, what better choice than Squall's scar? I'll have some of that I said.

Well, my character is from a small, relatively peaceful fishing village. Where the hell did he get that ridiculous scar?! The first job he took, of course! But alas, he was carrying his journal with him when he was injured, and it seems it soaked up quite a bit of blood. Some recommended beet juice. I tried raspberry tea, cherry juice, pomegranate concentrate. Nothing. Oddly, the tea dyed the test page blue.

What time of the year is it? Halloween of course! So we buy some fake blood and I'll be damned if it doesn't look like the real thing. It stains the pages, and the rough parts of the leather.

Now, just 4 or 5 days later, it has a leaf from Gridania from the day my character arrived there, drawings of the aetheryte station, some of the people he's met along the way and some of the more impressive geographic features (the ones that coincidentally took my breath away), and even a Triple Triad card. There are plans to visit the Sea of Clouds and meet the Vanu Vanu, so we'll be tucking a feather into the pages. So many other things await.

This has become a (probably for you, dear reader, painfully) long post about my current autistic obsession. I am particularly proud of this journal. While I was inspired by another persons comment, the execution was all mine. So, having gotten to the bottom of this essay, either by scrolling or reading, I have but one question: Do you wanna see the journal?

edit: it will literally only take one person saying yes.

#ffxiv #ffxiv rp #final fantasy #no spoilers #cosplay prop?? #arts and crafts #self promotion #i can't help it im obsessed and i wanna share and i love my friends so much for being so supportive and now youre stuck with me #just scrolled back and damn this is long #loooooong posting #im half sorry if you read through this #but seriously #wanna see the journal?

Ellie williams as an artist I love

Ellie ily but istg you aren't similar to any artist i listen to, bar one.

that one is PVRIS who I have had a soul consuming obsession with for over a year to the point where my pinterest is filled of her and so is my spotify. lemme explain why

k while lynn from pvris has had almost every single haircut known to man there is a specific era that really gives ellie vibes to the point im convinced young lynn gunn could've played ellie in the tv show.

idt yknow just how far i had to scroll on my pinterest to find this picture but like, ISN'T THIS SO SIMILAR???

LIKE FUCKIN HELL THIS ERA ALWAYS SENDS ME INTO GAY PANIC BUT IT IS SO ELLIE!!

she's not only really hot she's also super dorky

i just really love her okay?????? she's adorable and weird and really hot and basically everything everyone on tumblr says about ellie.

now for the SONGS

this girl has a lotta songs out (i have all of them liked there's like 4 albums, 2 EP's and several singles.

I can't take it over and over Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder Nothing changes, I'm getting colder

*bangs my head against the keyboard in ellie would so listen to this song

i also learnt this song on drums

like this needs no explanation, just go listen to it, watch the music video, i will take arguments if you try to convince me she's not ellie. THERE'S ZOMBIES IN THE MUSIC VIDEO FFS

How could you let them turn you into a monster? Your bridge started to burn when you ran all across it I guess you never learn 'til you live and you lost it

this song kinda made me cry when i made the association of this with ellie but it fuckin fits and the music video and the whole aesthetic of this song is so much darker than she usually is which scared me shitless for a bit. but it is so. fucking. good.

No I never sold my soul If I ever do throw my bones to the wolves No I never sold my soul

I know it's so wrong but I'm so far gone Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical Quit being so over-skeptical Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable

long lyrics bc i need you to understand that this is santa barbara traumatized ellie.

just. ellie as pvris, this has been stuck in my head for ages and i needed to get it out.

playlist or nah?

[theharlotofferelden]

The bg3 fandom on here is more tiring than reddit sometimes ffs (which is pretty bad if you like the Emperor, weirdest hate boner for the squid on reddit, they are inventing their own headcanons contradicting canon to hate on him, lol).

Today I saw someone suggest just talking about Mystra and her point of view etc is condoning abuse and turning it into "juicy" content. It was just dev notes giving more insight, but just talking about that means you support abuse now. Even when the poster was not denying the abuse. I'm too old for this honestly, had my fill with DAI, not letting weirdos destroy my favourite childhood game series like this. Never been closer with the block button. I need a nap.

I didn't see the whole "condoning Mystra's abuse" post, but I did see the post about the devnotes and agree with your assessment on what OP's intentions were. No one should have to add a disclaimer that they don't support fictitious abuse. It genuinely feels like we're regressing back to 2013 tumblr where even trying to talk about the mage/templar conflict from DA in a nuanced capacity was viewed as supporting abuse (or being ableist).

I really do not know how to make anyone here on tumblr understand that none of this shit is serious. We're talking about a fictional story in a video game. This is so not serious. And yet we have people contriving drama over someone posting devnotes giving insight into Mystra's character and motivations.

More below the cut

Imo this kind of behavior epitomizes fandom brainrot. You have folks who spend too much time on here getting worked up over shit that genuinely does. not. matter. The best way to avoid becoming like this is to not be on here as much, and to occasionally talk to people about the kind of shit that happens on here. The latter of which I have to do because I sometimes feel fucking crazy reading some of the discourse on here. Lemme tell you: nothing will wise you up to how inconsequential this shit is like trying to explain any of it to your mother in law.

RE: The Emperor -- The response reminds me a lot of how people responded to L/0ghain in DAO. I wasn't apart of fandom when I first played the game. But my experience while playing the game was like..... I didn't really hate him because I understood where he was coming from. When he sent assassins after me I was like "That's fair" because I understood why he did it. Yeah it sucked and I think that what he was doing was wrong, but I didn't take it personally (if anything I thought it was funny lol).

When I joined tumblr, people talked about him like he stole their lunch money or something. And like, I get it. L/0ghain is a morally ambiguous guy and a lot of the shit he does is genuinely terrible. But to me.....he's not a real person. He's not real. None of the things he does in the story have real world impact because all of it is fictional. We do not have to take anything he does to heart. I seriously do not understand why so many people get worked up over this shit.

With the Emperor though....i feel a lot of the hate is really overblown and I have no idea why. I feel some of it might be sourced in disgust over being able to romance him and knowing there's people who enjoyed doing so. But that's just a vibe I'm getting from it all and not really based on anything I've seen so far.

But yeah, I stopped checking any of the tags for BG3 3 weeks ago because it seems that some people can't just let their shit opinion languish in the drafts.

#fandom critical #bg3 critical #personal: replies #delete later maybe #i need a nap too anon #i am also too old for this shit #I've mostly been avoiding talking about any of this bc i'm trying to keep my space clear of negative vibes #but i saw this happen today too and it fucking bothers me #this shit is about video games #we're talking about video games here #fucking ridiculous

[whysojiminimnida]

jk in bed with jm "you're mine", then he changes room and go in tae's bed saying "you're mine". what a boyfriend (of?....i don't know, he has 2 boyfriends at this point)

Now there's a fanfiction for ya, anon. DISCLAIMER THIS IS AN ALL-ASK ANSWER AND IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS ANON OKAY OKAY ANYWAY HERE WE GOOOOO

Now personally I stan a poly king, I don't know your A/S/L (that's Old People Internet for age/sex/location) but as legal adults of as-yet-undetermined but definitely not 100% straight orientation, I'd say GET OFF THEIR DICKS AND LET PEOPLE LIVE.

FFS anon. You out here thinking Tae and Jimin wouldn't be getting it on if they wanted to? They absolutely would IF, and it's a really big IF, Tae was even into guys or Jimin was even interested like that.

But at no time before or since "get out of your imagination, it's not good there" has Taehyung EVER said he was into either of them like that. And if it was one of them it wouldn't be Kook. I MEAN SOULMATES OR WHATEVER Tae has to be all cool with everyone else but with Jimin he can let his derp face fly and let the pretty man steal his hat--

Meanwhile Jungkook will toy with y'all because YOU WANT HIM TO SO BADLY YOU SAY THAT SHIT IN HIS INSTAGRAM AND ON WEVERSE FFS you kids left boundaries back there in 2016 well before some of y'all knew what a tumblr even WAS. Oh sure. He jokes he giggles he flirts because IT IS HIS JOB and make no mistake HE IS AT WORK answering your asses, WFH is a thing, but sometimes he has enough because y'all literally cannot simply WATCH A VLIVE AND READ A ROOM.

At this point if you're NOT picking up what the Jeon-Parks are throwing down EVERY TIME YOU SEE THEM then I honestly have to assume you are a virgin, stupid, or so repressed you can't see daylight. It's more than obvious to literally anyone who gets laid on the regular, goes outdoors and has friends. And it's beyond incomprehensible if you still don't get it. Honestly it's Theatre of the Absurd. Jungkook has to truly believe you're joking. HE HAS THE SUN (or perhaps a sunflower) TATTOOED ON HIS ARM WHERE A TIGER USED TO BE FFS. Like

do wish that Hangul made an all-caps version BUT IT DOESN'T AND WHY NOT I WANT TO KNOW but I digress. He did say this. Again. Fourth time in a row kids. And you don't think he gets fifty million Tae questions every time he goes live? He does. He only answers them when there has been a Meeting about Keeping It On The Low While The Exemptions Are Still In Legislation. Y'all think I'm kidding. I am not kidding. That happened.

Meeting or not, though, Jungkook is the man to tell you. Jimin is HIS. Not his, not heh-heh-that's-cute his, not we bffs casual his, HIS. Loudly. Dude bout yelled the airpods out my ears. And then goes on to play a little, flirt a little, give the fans what they want but eventually he has had enough. I mean y'all might not have noticed but THE VIDEO ENDED ON HIS TELLING PEOPLE OFF like damn, sir. We understand you are an adult. We got it. You're GROWN OKAY.

... And some of this fandom needs to get out of these men's assholes before they can't even get a proper colonoscopy because there's too many raging solo stans up in there telling a guy how to live. .

When did you become ARMY? and has Tae always been your bias?

AH, hello! You'd like my villain origin story, hm?

I guess I'll use a read more because I'm cursed by the inability to EVER shut up.

So back in 2020-2021 someone that I've been friends with for over 10 years and follow on tumblr became army. She was posting tons and tons of giftsets and vids every day as she began to work her way through the content. I didn't pay much attention at first but as the moths passed I somehow eventually started playing a little game with myself called "Is Jungkook in this/Can you find Jungkook" because that was her bias at the time and I only knew his name.

Somehow this expanded to one or two other members (I wanna say Jimin and Joon?) and it was just my private little game with myself when she would post.

I can tell you the exact moment I actually paid attention - she posted gifs of this moment:

I remember DISTINCTLY sitting up like wait, they're actually good/talented???

We got to the point where Dynamite was out and I'll be honest, I didn't really like it and I still don't. But after this moment I thought okay maybe I'm missing something.

So the summer of 2021 I dm'ed her and said, "Hey, want to rec me some BTS songs? My playlist feels stale."

She sent me Mic Drop (steve's version lol), Fake Love, and Truth Untold and I loved all three (they still remain among my top faves!). I asked for a few more. So on it went until I'd listened to the whole discography lol. Eventually she sent me like a list of their discography and I would watch the lyric video that lights up who's singing so I could 1) know what the lyrics were about and 2) kind of learn their voices. If I liked a song when I listened to the lyric video, I threw it in a giant playlist on Spotify. I ended up with uhhhhhhhh a lot of songs lol.

I also watched Run BTS from episode one all the way through during that summer. I watched Bon Voyage 1, 3, and 4 and watched 2 together with her later in the fall.

We went together to PTD LA (I flew from the east coast lol someone save jo) that December and saw Coldtan :')

The following March I started reading and writing ff and made this account :')

Anyway, was Taehyung my first bias - yes!! The first moment I was like "oh THAT ONE" was she had sent me a compilation of Taehyung saying insane shit with a straight face and I got to "that's the eyeliner" and had to pause to collect myself because him!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I also saw a gif from this moment (hi maggie lol) and I remember being like WAIT HOLLUP WHO IS THAT? ONE OF THE MEMBERS LOOKS LIKE THAT? WHO IS IT? and it was cemented. I alsoooooo remember DISTINCTLY losing my shit the first time I listened to Singularity because HIS VOICE!!!!! HIS VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEEPER THAN THE OCEAN IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO DROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway ahem we're all normal here.

However it was MAYBE only two weeks after Taehyung claimed me that I dm'ed her again like, "Why does my brain suddenly love Suga?" and she was like "I was waiting for that" and for the majority of my army time I have really considered myself a double-bias, at times feeling like maybe I was a Yoongi-ult but these days the taehyung chokehold is stronger, I'm afraid. At PTD LA Yoongi came to our corner of the stage in a leather jacket during soundcheck and I'm telling u I ascended I was not on this planet anymore i did not breathe air until he was gone again afjheaiufqiughijg

THEN of course Mr. Kim Namjoon had to absolute wreck my shit in the Indigo era and took over my entire existence SIGH.

So, idk. These days I feel like a Tae-ult with Yoongi wrecker and Joon wrecker-wrecker? But ot7 are soooo special and wonderful and amazing, like truly the universe aligned to take these seven more extraordinary humans and put them together!! Like?! they're so special, i love them a lot fr :')

ANYWAY did you learn to never ask me anything because I will talk until I die?! love you anon have a wonderful fridayyyyyyyy <3

[mishkakagehishka]

yeah no fr you get it. i notice so many little things that just feel weird when games try to be too realistic. like modern fallout games? you immediately notice when character's mouths or animations are wonky. tbh i play far too few super-realistic-games to really point out any ones i have flaws with but like!

final fantasy! 15 is pretty realistic but still keeps that anime vibe. prompto's hair is a little silly but hey, its ff! and it fits in the world and doesn't feel off. kh? entirely silly. even in kingdom hearts 3 where there's a lot more like "high-def" textures and stuff, all the characters are so silly and anime-esque that it still just works.

hell i sometimes think ts2 has more polish and personality than ts4, and that came out in approx 2004...

idk man i love my silly anime games and my clunky/chunky/low-poly graphics. realism is fun as are pretty graphics but man. i can look past shitty graphics if the story and characters are fun and i have a reason to care. but if the graphics are slowing my device down and i can barely play? that's just a pain.

on that note why are assassin's creed games so fucking big. i had to dl over 100gb for ac: valhalla awhile ago. is this even necessary anymore...? ngl i like ac4's graphics more than the more modern games sometimes...

sorry im a little passionate abt games. oopsies. ily corks

No, but exactly, that's why i brought up ff. It has a dash of realism to it, but the charas look so stylised in the anime way despite that, that flaws don't jump out as much as they do in the RE engine, to me. I very much remember wonky hair being a thing despite the fact that i played one (1) 3D final fantasy entry, and that was years ago, but it never struck me as odd, because... it was stylised, and it could get explained as part of the style. When you aim for photorealism, even the most minor flaw registers as - a flaw, cannot be explained by saying "it's stylised".

And, yeah, real. I can't tell you for Valhalla or Odyssey - I don't own them and don't really have an urge to get them either (not in an elitist "it's not a proper ac game", but just a bit of a side-eyeing "i play ac for certain reasons, and odyssey and valhalla took a path that removed those reasons"), but from what I hear they have a fuckton of content. I think Origins also took so much to download, it was ridiculous.

(And same tho. I made tumblr bc i wanted to be insane ab elder scrolls somewhere, enstars just kinda took over. But i've always been a video game freak)

#oh asscreed. idk i play it for the ''hey what if this historical event... actually went like this.....'' and then for the weird ass lore #they made but i feel like origins i barely accepted but then after origins it kinda took a nosedive for me #i love fantasy and i love historical fantasy but imo odyssey and valhalla went too far into fantasy and don't really have much on the #historical aspects - as that was my main draw to the franchise i don't feel much of an interest to those newest entries #besides the gameplay change. i'm still not quite used to origins - it just doesn't feel Right in my hands even tho i do prefer RPGs #but well! if it's fun it's fun #but black flag was beautiful #a lotta folks criticised it bc assassins couldn't be pirates #but i could write an essay on how it fits perfectly as an assassin's creed game. #it really is good i love it #throwback to the time i played it so much i developed a welsh accent #<- the charm of being a non-native speaker is that you tend to just absorb whatever accent you listen to the most #or at least such is my experience #asks

How can I live like before tiktok / influencers (like current-day ones), bizarre trends and oversharing on the internet was a thing like pre-2014. Social media was just starting out then and things were far less weird unless they were on, like, livejournal or tumblr. People openly OVERSHARE now online, film everything in public and strangers, make bizarre content for ads and their personal brands, and it's like there's no divide at all. People can act like weirdos online and no one bats an eye anymore. For the most part, social media was kind of just normal back before all this. You'd post a photo, see your friends' photos, maybe some funny tweets, and that's it (in typically NORMAL spaces at least). Is deleting my tiktok the answer? Deleting all social media and being on my phone less? I don't have FOMO, I just feel isolated because EVERYONE is always on their phones, ffs. Is there an answer to this? I just want to go back to a normal life again before all these micro-trends, bizarre content, and strange ads etc. before I get anymore immune to it. It's to the point where I watch movies now from like 2014 (I time I lived through) and go, "I miss those days." Like??? Do you also feel this way sometimes or know if it's common? I'd love any advice / help. Thank you bunches.

I do definitely feel this way, and I think a lot of other people share that feeling, as well. There's even a name for what's happened to the internet recently- it's called "enshittification".

As for what to do about it, I think instead of asking "how can I live like before social media" a better question might be "what do I wish I was doing instead?" In general, quitting things is really hard, and it's even harder to quit things when everyone around you is doing them. It's much easier to replace them with something else that's enjoyable and meaningful to you. Maybe that means joining more in-person activities, like an art class or cooking class, sports team, volunteer group, religious organization, or some other kind of club/group. For me, I joined a service that sends me on a surprise real-world activity once a month, and even that has done a lot for my feeling of being present in the real world. (If you follow my Instagram, you might have seen the one for this month- it was a pottery class I went to this morning!)

Maybe replacing social media means figuring out which hobbies you'd like to pursue on your own and putting more time into those- reading, making art or crafts, playing video games, whatever feels exciting to you. For me, writing this blog is one way that I replace mindless scrolling on social media, as is going to real-world meetups, doing interior decorating projects at my house, and doing craft projects.

Or maybe replacing social media just means installing a bunch of ad blockers and aggressively curating your social media experience so that you only see the types of content that feel like they're contributing to your life. You could even unfollow everyone except for people that you know personally. I've curated my social media this aggressively, especially on TikTok, and now most of the content I see there is academics talking about their work, people talking about interior decorating, people putting together outfits, and daily vlogs. This is hard, though, because you have to be super liberal with the "not interested" button, and you have to be able to realize when the algorithm is trying to push you down a rabbit hole of outrage.

In general, I think the more time we spend offline and the more we interact with people who aren't chronically online, the less chaotic the world feels and the easier it becomes to realize that social media isn't real life. A lot of the phenomena that seem so common when you spend a lot of time online are totally foreign to people who don't spend a lot of time online, and I think having that perspective can be really helpful.

Volt's Blog Introduction

Hello! I'm Volt, and I write a lot, but I also meme a lot too. And other things.

Anyway, this is a bit of a "master-directory" of mine where all the stuff I do, on and off here, will be linked. I will also add little updates, should anything come up. That kind of thing.

[Blog]

Anything tagged #volt's shit is essentially me meme-ing. I do a lot of edits on canva. Sometimes I'll mess around with video edits.

#volt's library is everything I write. Most of the time, it will be related to my fanfiction projects, or they will be fandom essays I post on here. Once I get into practicing my art, those will also be included.

(Here is the blog archive.)

[Fanfiction] - Current Project(s):

LYCOS (Wednesday; Ao3-only)

A Yellow Dress Forgotten (TWDG; Ao3, FFnet, Wattpad, Quotev, RoyalRoad)

Archive of Our Own | Fanfiction.net | Wattpad

(These are the primary three I use. Not everything is on Wattpad. I started on FF. Ao3 lets me play around with formatting, so certain fics like LYCOS will be Ao3-only.)

Quotev | RoyalRoad

(Don't post on these as often. But they're fun.)

Certain fics will have tags associated with them on Tumblr. These are bigger projects, and I just feel like letting them have their own space on my blog. With these tags, they're also a way to help me find any posts people make related to them. :D

LYCOS | tacet anima mea [#lycos fic] A Yellow Dress Forgotten [#aydf fic]

[Fandom Essays]

I will occasionally write an essay or two, and they are in-depth. The format of my blog is purely so that these are easier to read—if you want to read them, it's best to do that on the blog itself.

The following are the essays, with their fandoms and a brief summary.

TWDG | …so about that clementine comic

An analysis of TWDG & canonicity, as a rebuttal to the Clementine comics by Tillie Walden.

TWDG | …about the clementine comic (again)

Another analysis of TWDG in regards to the Clementine comics (by Tillie Walden), with a commentary of survival and linguistics.

TWDG | ERICSON’S WALLFLOWER

A deconstruction of Violet as a character, and Borderline Personality Disorder, as an exhaustive explanation as to why both her and the disorder are so often stigmatized.

Hope you enjoy those. :)

[Shop/Etc.]

Redbubble

(I'm not consistent about it, but I will post designs that I've edited, and eventually my art will go here as well.)

Ko-Fi

(...you don't have to, but it's here.)

[Update(s)]

I'm still a mess but whatever. As of now, gonna try my hand at ping-ponging between LYCOS and AYDF. We'll see how that goes. Lol.

The plan thus far is update AYDF's next chapter (DRAGON'S DEN), then return to LYCOS for its third chapter.

I have updated my theme so that my writing will not be as much of an endless scroll! >:D And with that…, I did write an essay for TWDG. So. Here's that.

With that. Hope you enjoy my stories, and my memes.

:)
