Not actually all that dark

Just readin' other people's Tumblrs. Reblogging what I find amusing or infuriating. I'm an adult (boy am I), but I don't blog NSFW stuff.  Maybe a bad word here and there.  Topics will be all over the map, but mostly video games, superheroes, dragons, cartoons (old and new), and dragons.  And Steven Universe. And cats!  So many cats! Also, dragons. Politics mostly reserved for my side-blog, darker-than-disco (formerly darker-than-discourse)

Capcom Spotlight (US) ｜June 2026 by Capcom USA

[darker-than-darkstorm]

I dreamed the other day that Capcom announced a specific new game! Let's see if it's actually on there. (It won't be, I know it won't be)

sorry I have some kind of brain disease

I suspect this was meant as a visual pun because this server is rated for 733 watts, almost exactly one metric horsepower

[creepymutelilbugger]

if it wasn’t for some kind of brain disease, we would all have forgotten this punchline. everyone say thank you some kind of brain disease

Sometimes when I go hundreds pages deep into people’s Tumblr archives, I find really funny posts and I weigh the pros and cons of liking/reblogging them.

Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious

Cons: They might think I’m creepy. Despite the fact that it’s public and on the Internet, it is not socially acceptable to let anyone know the extent that you creeped their archives.

[taymonbeal]

I hereby extend blanket permission for anyone to creep on my archive, and to like and reblog posts from it if they want to. It’s really quite flattering.

[brennacedria]

“it is not socially acceptable”

Wrong. It is not only acceptable but expected here. Adhere to whatever “etiquette” you will on other sites. Share and be shared here.

[alarajrogers]

Yeah, this isn’t a Tumblr thing. Everyone here loves it when they wake up to 97 notifications and they’re all likes and reblogs from the same person of shit you posted five years ago.

[awesomebutunpractical]

I love it when someone is obviously going through a specific tag of mine.

[nights-at-crystarium]

User that exhibits the actively curious, reblog-spamming, tag-digging behavior is an endangered species that must be preserved at all costs. No seriously I view this kinda stuff as a big, massive, yuuuuuge compliment. Please don’t let this culture die.

[viewparadise]

Yes, please, come on in here and dig in the depths!

[madenthusiasms]

Also, I really enjoy when someone reblogs a banger I’d forgotten long ago.

[darker-than-darkstorm]

Damn, looks like I'm blocking the Deltarune tag for a while. (I still haven't finished Chapter 4 - stuck at Jackenstein - let alone 5! And I won't have a chance until Sunday at the earliest)

(I'm sad about this. I want to play Chapter 5 SO MUCH!)

[devotedlystrangewizard]

i think everyone should program at least once just so you realise just how fucking stupid computers are. because theyre so fucking stupid. a computer wants to be told what to do and exactly that and if you make one typo or forget one detail it starts crying uncontrollably

[kagaintheskywithdiamonds]

[onemillionwordsofcrap]

Even playing around with a drag-and-drop interface like RPGMaker or Scratch is worthwhile if you've never done anything code-adjacent before. I didn't fully understand how stupid computers were until I started fiddling with Game Maker in like seventh or eighth grade.

Before that, computers were these vaguely magic boxes that could think, and they might do anything at any time, if they felt like it. After, I realized computers could not do anything without the most specific, granular instructions. It not only completely demystified them for me, but empowered me to get... pretty damn good at computers. (I built my boyfriend's gaming rig lol)

I love my job, but reblogging employment jelly for someone else I love.

Whenever I see a really off-the-wall take about the beatles I remember this adorable post from an older fan about how they used to play "Beatles" at recess but they were too young to really know who the beatles were so they just played house with British accents and I assume that's what a lot of people on this website are doing as well

[markadoo]

too young to really know who the beatles were

NO ONE is too young to know who the beatles were. its important to tell your children about the beatles as soon as they can understand language. My father told me when i turned two that the beatles were four men who sang and played music. over the years he added more details like girls loved the beatles and how some of them died. there is no excuse.

[good-to-drive]

[darker-than-darkstorm]

The Beatles broke up before I was born, but I still knew who they were and knew a lot of their songs, because those madlads made a *cartoon*.

Of *course* little me was going to watch a cartoon movie.

Look, this is my litmus test: I pretend I am the original Earl of Sandwich. I have asked for non-bread foods to be brought to me inside bread, that I might more easily consume them one-handed while gambling.

This does not enable my wretched regency habits. This is not what I asked for. I do not deign to grace it with the name of my house.

[dirkbolero]

This is the most important addition to the sandwich discourse I have ever read.

i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE ‘HACKED’ MANA DRAIN

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘DRINK SOME JUICE’

WHAT IS ‘LOW BLOOD SUGAR’

WHY IS THIS WORKING

I HATE YOU SO MUCH

[superjustaguyblog]

Okay but other direction can ALSO be a lot of fun

“What do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”

“Why can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is ‘quantum displacement awareness’???”

“You know HOW many spells? HOW? ... What do you mean ‘my spell book’?”

“Ooooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water... Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

I'll guess New Adventures of Batman, 1977, and he's talking to Batmite.

Just looking at their reactions in the shot after that line is enough to say that this was definitely the original intention

[darker-than-darkstorm]

The script explicitly says that, too.

Discussing baby’s future

[melodiusfaux]

They are both doing the "I want" chitter. They very much want to get up, but they have a sleeping baby cuddling with them. They must endure, but they will not be silent about it

[pb-dot]

Well well well, kitties. Looks like you want to get up but there's a little cat on you so you can't. Very frustrating situation there, can't imagine the burden of being held down by a little adorable kittycat. Couldn't, as the kids say, be me.
