Technoblade Never Dies

Van/Boon/Brian/Blade/Etc., 20s, he/it. Fanfic/meta writer for a few different fandoms, currently mostly MCYT but who knows :) drink your water!

[boonbeenblade]

I realized I should probably have a formal Pinned Post now that I’ve been on here a bit, so-

Hello! My name is Vanyel, or just Van (or Boon, or Ben, or How Dare You, or a thousand different things - yell any of them at me and I’ll prolly respond xD)

Mid-20′s, He/It pronouns, please :*)

There's gonna be a lot of writings on here, of a varied kind. Right now it's a lot of MCYT. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Most of my minifics are poetic-meta-analysis, which basically means I try to explain things how I see them, but in a cool way. I DO take requests!

Also if you're seeing my ramblings about Genshincraft, the masterpost is here!

I also write longer fics over on my AO3 account, including other fandoms as well.

Like what I do? I’ve got a ko-fi (no obligations, only gratitude :*) )

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

one of my favorite tidbits about speedrunning that comes up every time the games done quick marathons come around is how Wind Waker speedruns are about five hours long because of the giant wall in Hyrule that actually forces the runner to play the game because they’ve been throwing shit at this wall for over a decade and still can’t figure out a way past it. the wall in hyrule is entirely unglitchable and the only way past it is to play the game properly. the speedrun would be like one hour if they could get past this wall but nope, it’s five hours. fuck the wall.

[squishysnake]

and the comedy of this situation is exponentially amplified the more you know about skips and glitches in speedruns in general

as examples of how broken WW is elsewhere, you can clip through walls and go out of bounds to skip entire dungeon sequences pretty much anywhere with a ledge, use the Wind Waker to enter a state where you ignore physics and swim at 5000 miles an hour, and even fly infinitely into the sky after dying like some kind of helium zombie. do you know how many games could be broken wide open by an infinite height trick? TTYD would shave off 3 or 4 hours.

but this fucking barrier around Hyrule Castle, against all odds, is just completely insurmountable with any of this. Ganondorf is literally the most successful and powerful villain in gaming history and this Super Extendo Fuck You Shield™ is a shining testament to it

[ark-shifter]

This is the kind of information I want on my dash

[cozza-frenzy]

Okay but do you have any idea just how big the Super Extendo Fuck You Shield™ actually is? Try approximately four times the height of the castle itself.

And not only that, but even if you get over the invisible wall, there’s another barrier that causes damage and knockback. So even if you managed to get over the invisible wall part of the Nintendo Containment System™, there’s still an additional, cylinder-shaped barrier that will do damage to you and knock you back out, even if you try to get in from the top or bottom. That castle has more security measures than Fort fucking Knox and it’s all to give a middle finger to speedrunners wanting to finish the game in an hour. It’s fucking wild.

As of July 2019, the barrier has been defeated in all versions of the game, and the current World Record is 1hr 04m50s. The current method is to give yourself seventy invisible grappling hooks, which corrupts so much of the game’s memory that there’s not enough left over to load the barrier (or a lot of other things, like enemies or cutscenes. It’s amazing). You can just walk right trough where it’s supposed to be.

[unyanizedcatboys]

Cant believe the only way to beat The wall™ is to stop it from ever existing in the first place

[xcal1bur25]

The line “seventy invisible grappling hooks” killed me

I love how dated this is now.

• Shortly after the memory corruption method was found, they found there was basically a 1 pixel spot where the wall slightly overlaps itself to make the cylinder. Then through very specific and percise movements you could use the momentary speed granted by dropping a bomb colliding with Link to push through.

• The barrier doesn’t even matter anymore. Very recently, Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) was discovered in Wind Waker. ACE is a type of glitch found in multiple games where essentially you can use very specific controller inputs in specific areas to modify the code directly. Now basically by getting one of the earliest items. The run using this is now around the 20 minute mark because it warps straight to the credits (I have opinions on the validity of Credits Warping, but that’s neother here nor there). This puts it in the same ballpark as most other Console Zelda Speedruns which tend to be around an hour if not closer to the half hour mark.

Fun enough, Twilight Princess also has a Barrier. It still has yet to be broken and maintains a speedrun of just under 3 hours. There really aren’t really any leads to get around it because it makes Wind Waker’s barrier look like an opened door.

Every moment between rats smp/origins smp!Phil and Mrs. (Kristin) Icraga.

The tragedy of your soulmate belonging to another world, married to another man but you still feel the pull of the red string of fate.

[demonadelem]

canonically Mrs. Icraga doesn’t wear her wedding ring, it hangs on a hook beside the bed while he’s away so perhaps that tells you all you need to know about the Icraga marriage, if you can find the clip send me an ask.

So my theory is that perhaps she feels it too.

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

You hit a point of otp where you start saying stuff like “what if Phantom of the Opera AU” and that’s when you know you’re cooked

HOWEVER. In my defense. q!Vegetta would love to be a dark brooding Gothic Romance hero like the Phantom

As summer is approaching, I’d like to remind everyone that you are not entitled to ask someone to cover up their scars, self inflicted or not. I don’t care if they’re big, I don’t care if they’re noticeable, or purple, or all over their body, or what. You can’t police people’s bodies.

[asexual-amanita]

This also goes for my friends with feeding tubes, ostomy bags, central lines and urinary catheters. People are allowed exist in bodies that stray from the expected norm.

idk who needs to hear this, but your partner should be making your life better and easier than it is on your own. if your partner is making your life harder, they're constantly stressing you out, if they're not showing up for you? babe you gotta leave, life is so short and we only get one, so don't spend it with someone who makes you feel bad about your life, you deserve so much better than that
