I live in an island, so yesterday we had a really bad mist (like silent hill style) around the city ‘cause of the ocean and things like that. So what happened to show up inside of the mist? THIS DUDE! THIS DUDE SHOWED UP FROM NOWHERE WEARING THIS SILENT HILL PYRAMID HEAD COSPLAY AND JUST STOOD THERE! IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE STREET! FUCK! I ALMOST DIED WHEN I SAW THAT! To make it worst it was 2AM!

Somewhere on this island, a cosplayer saw the mist roll in and thought “My time has come…”

[fortunesrevolver-deactivated202]

They saw their chance and they took it.

[the-mad-hattie]

Is it really just cosplay though? Did someone go out and check?

[oracleks44]

Oh someone checked alright, we just don’t know where they are now

Rebooting our Renta! Tumblr!✨

Is this thing still on? Guess it is, now.

Run by a weird frog, this Tumblr blog aims to cater to all manga fans, as we explore the gems hidden within the vast Renta! library together!

I'm determined not only to rant non-stop about manga, its history, the Japanese side of fandoms and the industry, but also to dispel misconceptions about fiction targeted at women, as this is a great part of the Renta! catalog. There'll be reviews, informational posts and, at every opportunity, event reports and much, much more. More than anything, this will be a safe space for fellow fans of manga to gather and potentially find their new favorite work!

The spark that restarted this Tumblr was seeing my shojo-loving friend perusing the bookstore shelves and realizing that she had no idea about the depth of content on the site I work for. As someone who grew up loving manga without anyone around me sharing the same interests, I figured Renta! could use a space like Tumblr for everyone to gather and read reviews, educational posts, and so on. Hence, this blog.

Even though my preferred genres are shonen and seinen, I’m passionate about manga as a whole, since it’s something I’ve studied on a professional level. Ever since joining Renta!, I’ve been granted the chance to delve into the wider spectrum of romance manga, challenge my own beliefs about this genre in fiction, and develop a passion for writing about it. I’m an angst aficionado, so you can find me eagerly ranting mostly about the darker stories out there. Since romance has never been a genre I naturally gravitate to, finding titles here that I come to like is always an adventure I’m excited for and my greatest wish is that you can join me on it, too.

TL;DR: Renta!'s back on Tumblr!

- i'm going to marry your mother so i can teach you how to behave in public

Can we all take a moment for Molly Weasley who knew her family so fucking well, she had “prison” as one of the options on her clock that told her where everyone was.

[syllarinfirinne]

Well to be fair to Molly: Arthur, regularly tinkered with enchanting muggle things, against the law Bill, curse breaker and tomb raider for private (goblin run) corporation. Almost certainly has raided tombs that the Egyptian MoM and muggle government weren’t happy about. Charlie: illegal dragon smuggler with buddies on the weekends, apparently. Fred and George. Enough said. Ron is best friends with Harry Potter. Harry is always on some Bull Shit. Ginny idolized the Twins growing up. Literally the only person who she doesn’t have to worry about getting arrested on a daily basis is Percy. Who commits treason in the 7th book.

how the fuck do yall relax in the presence of another human……how 2 stop performing 

[slimetony]

lets make a videogame how hard can it be

[slimetony]

nevermind you have to know shit about computers

[hthrthebear]

hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!! 

for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)

if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn

you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!

this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!

[auttoton]

I’m addin’ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If y’all have any questions about making games, you’re welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource

[slimetony]

It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.
