by Laerte Coutinho
btw this is laerte. She is 73 now! Making art and being happy! It's never too late to transition
@redsterthegamer since you asked so nicely
Just wanna say every time I read your fics or see your art it brings a smile to my face, I love the silly penguin game way too much and seeing fan content of this caliber makes me really happy :D
jdhsjdhskdhs aaaaaa thank you so much!!! there's no better compliment to me than hearing something I created made someone happy :3
I love making Club Penguin stuff. ever since it shutdown in 2017 drawing fanart of it (and in more recent years writing my fic series) has been a huge outlet to celebrate just how much I love this game, and somehow my ideas always develop into these crazy long projects involving dozen of illustrations or several hundred thousand words of fanfiction lol
and we all know Club Penguin is a comparatively small fandom, especially on Ao3, so I'll always cherish everyone who takes a moment to read my stuff and leave some kind words about it <3 thank you so much, Red!
i may not be a very fast artist, but there's still so many works about this silly penguin game I plan on turning into reality, and I'm not going anywhere until I do!
i know this has been remarked upon before but it really is hilarious how the whole "ditto keeps the same face when it transforms" thing was originally presented as a failing of one specific ditto in the anime, only for pokemon to immediately realize that being able to slap a ditto face onto literally anything was actually an incredibly strong marketing tool and backpedaling on it so hard that nearly thirty years later we're getting an entire game marketed nearly entirely off the inherent appeal of the ditto face.
I want to write my fanfic <- isn’t writing my fanfic
“there’s no platonic explanation for this”
Well there is actually, they’re friends. They’re friends and they love each other and it doesn’t mean any less than if they were dating and they loved each other. They’re friends and that means devotion and affection and loyalty and love, and there is no point in which that love reaches a level that immediately indicates that their relationship must be romantic.
question, how rude is it to not write a fanfic when the core premise and nearly the entire plot has been granted to you in a dream
Finally got around to play Legends Arceus
For the longest time I thought I wouldn't like it that much since there are barely any trainer battles in it and it's more focused on catching stuff, while in my usual pokémon playthroughs I just enjoy battling everyone I see and pretty much never catch anything beyond six pokémon to be my main team but after completing a pokédex for the first time in ZA I thought I might as well give it a try and honestly good thing I did because even without as many battles as I would have liked I still had tons of fun with this game. My brain REALLY enjoyed completing the little checklists of stuff to do with each pokémon
Anyway this now makes for two completed pokédexes on my gaming resume
People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.
Cute trick
I STILL DONT GET IT
Theory on why Tofu hates Markiplier
If you are unfamiliar with Tofu, please read this post or watch this playlist about the snake who hates Markiplier.
tl;dr- under the Markiplier gif.
From the videos you can see she tries to figure out what is upsetting Tofu, and found that it's not just streamers, or just his voice, or the stream. This specific snake very much does not like Markiplier, and appears to recognize him visually and from his voice.
He does not like Markiplier specifically which is demonstrated by him squaring up with Mark, striking, and tail buzzing at him. He recognizes Mark specifically as a scary threat.
Animals have been shown to recognize human faces, and Tofu's reaction to Markiplier's face (and only his face as shown by the printout) is strong evidence that he recognizes Mark's face and differentiates him from other faces. With crows, they've been shown to hold grudges and have that grudge extend to other crows.
So Tofu has a negative association with Mark, and specifically Mark. The question is why? My theory is: perceived threat after a perceived dangerous situation. Some have theorized Tofu was mistreated by someone who looked like Mark- if they were while in his keeper's care she'd know. If it was his breeder, he'd more likely be afraid of all humans and need to first get over this negative perception (basing this on how Sakura reacted with massive trauma that took years for her to overcome, and to this day she's still jumpy. A breeder doesn't socialize their snakes so they'd only know humans to be abusive before being adopted, and his current keeper would very much notice that terrified trauma behavior to herself.)
One thing important to know about snakes is they are not only capable of learning from each other, but are protective of each other. I've seen this with my girls interacting with each other (yes snakes have friends and remember their family), learning from watching the other and copying her actions, as well as behavior I've observed on the Rattlecam with wild snakes. Adult snakes teach younger snakes, as well as are protective of them- even if they aren't their own babies. A female was shown on the rattlecam watching over a group of slitherlings that were obviously not her offspring as she was heavily pregnant. IIRC that same female ushered babies to safety after a hawk attack before worrying about her own safety. I've seen it in person as well with my girls, who have shielded each other from perceived danger, and scoria also squared up to something scary in the hall as though she were protecting me. And when it left she immediately went back to being relaxed and cuddly and happy. Snakes have friends that are snakes. It's an outdated belief snakes cannot bond with their keepers, as many do and seek them out for attention. These observations of snake behavior are part of what play into my theory basis.
So what could Mark himself have done? If you watch streamers you'll know Markiplier is known for playing jumpscare games with his FNAF let's plays being some of his most well known. Tofu's owner knows Markiplier, and is actively watching Markiplier with Tofu. More than likely she regularly watches Mark, has watched jumpscare videos, and had Tofu around while doing this.
It's a reasonable assumption. And if Tofu's keeper reacts to Mark's jump scare videos by flinching, looking frightened, or making frightened sounds, it's quite likely Tofu's sees Markiplier is involved every time... and blames Mark. Seeing his keeper get startled, Tofu doesn't understand it's a fun video or that humans enjoy being jumpscared (honestly I don't think I could explain it to him either) so he's learning from his human that Markiplier is a scary threat.
And from Tofu's point of view? He's right! Markiplier is a regular threat that not only (probably) scared his human, but regularly appears to stare him down and even went after him in his own home! And when his keeper scolds him? It's likely the same misunderstanding that dogs have when their owners yell at them to be quiet- they think the human has joined in! Clearly his keeper is joining him in being upset at Mark!
So in Tofu's mind? Mark is a diabolical threat to his family's safety that he must defend them against, and they are united with their keeper in their efforts to drive away that scary scary guy. You are very brave Tofu, and we are all very proud of you.
scene from a fic i will definitely finish writing somewhere in the near future
incredible addition, thank you
