[pangur-and-grim]

always doing something annoying

[pangur-and-grim]

can I be honest? I was so pissed off by friends and family criticizing my soap choice that, for half a year, I did an experiment where I washed one hand with Palmolive and one with handsoap, to prove that it didn't make your skin any rougher. and do you know what the result is? it does make your skin rougher. and now I'm even more pissed off.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE WAS A DOCUMENT WITH A STEP BY STEP PLAN ON HOW TO TAKE DOWN SCOTT SMAJOR??????

[imnotasweetie]

im sorry. avid did all that and then he still signed up for MCC?

SCOTT SMAJOR'S MCC???

[iicor]

god dammit

actual serious talk under the cut

i'm really disappointed in both avid and marm. although i was not a huge watcher of their content personally, it really hurts to see youtubers i enjoyed turn out to not be the people i thought they were.

mcyt has always been a very tricky space for controversy. in many cases characters and creators are intertwined, and for those reasons the actions of a creator coming to light can heavily affect one's perception of a character. i will not try to recommend or make someone else's decisions on how they choose to proceed with avid's or marm's characters.

i personally will not be supporting their content or creating fan content with their characters in it, but i respect other creators' decisions to proceed as they wish.

to anyone who was much deeper into avid and marm's content, those who were especially fixated on it, or those who happen to be fictives, my heart goes out to you. my dms are always open if you need it.

stand with the real victims, regardless of how you choose to proceed with the characters.

[lavendermoon48]

as someone who genuinely enjoyed both marm and avids content and streams i am like you said disappointed but also disgusted.

this is the first time handling something like this as i wasn't in the more popular MCYT space for a really long time (i used to mostly was horror and arg videos and lowkey still do lol). needless to say this has felt like a real pickle to me especially considering that there were times where their streams comforted me in really hard and emotional times. i spent hours drawing them and hell my first fic i ever posted was avid-centric. i bought merch and spent so so much of my time on them.

what was done is so utterly disgusting that hearing some of it had genuinely made me sick to my stomach. i in no shape or form will ever support either of them ever again

i by no means have been affected to the level that others have but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. and i think it's okay to be hurt for a bit. but what's important is that you support the victims and like legs said, let them fade into oblivion

i am never immune to skyward sword link w/goggles propaganda

give me more pretty pretty please

getting scambot messages from random accounts that clearly used to be normal active blogs is sad enough. you know that there used to be a real person on that blog until they were tricked into handing their password to the digital fae.

but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.

and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.

RIP to the blog that used to DM me to tell me they liked my new chapters. Their last known words spoken before being turned, 17 hours ago: "Ggs!" They were praising someone's deadlift.

[ckret2]

the message they tried to get me with is probably the same message that got them, so for anybody who hasn't already been warned about the signs of a zombie account:

if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."

whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,

it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.

they got one of my treasured followers, and they can get you too. don't fall for their tricks. know the signs.

they're unreal engine-ifying my childhood game...nintendo hired that man....this is ocarina of time in 2013

[triforce-princess]

it looks greasy and stiff, the textures are overdone. i'm not sure about the armor he's wearing either, i could understand them adding that to adult link at some point but i don't see how it'll make sense for child link at this point in his life. and i'm assuming by having his hat and shoes off they want to make it make more sense for him to be in bed but if that was the case why does he have the armor on? why not just put him in an entirely different set of clothes as pajamas? plus making his bed sheet green against his green tunic is just bad art direction, he blends into the scene and feels like a disconnected shape.

i'm hoping they just showed this way too soon and this isn't a good shot to demonstrate their art direction but i'm not really sure how to feel about it yet.

(also maybe i'm slightly annoyed seeing so many people praise the look of this when probably many of those same people got upset at my hd OOT N64 gifs from several months ago. like ok when indie nonprofit modders do it it's cursed but when the multi billion dollar corporation does it it's awesome? and tbh the look of this really does remind me of those "unreal engine remakes" we'd see every few months in the 2010s that looked terrible but apparently that's what gamers wanted)

i'm sure there will be a couple of people that disagree with my sentiment or get upset with me in the comments but whatever, i'm gonna hold my full judgement until we see more footage. these teaser trailers always kind of suck

I think my brain was playing some word association game with this one but subnautica au anyone??

Grace is a scientist working with Alterra (unfortunately) and the only survivor of the Aurora crash, but finds Rocky who also crashed here while trying to investigate a distress call coming from the planet :)

Maybe there’s someone else here too who knows..
