Figured it was time to update that commission post.

Signal boosts appreciated! <3

‘cozy games need an edge’ nooo. edgy games need cozy stuff. not in a ‘what if disco elysium was about a young witch finding her neighbor’s lost cat in the alps’ kinda way but in a ‘your torture simulator 5000 should have a fishing minigame’ kinda way

researching the history of education in japan and learning that, pre–Meiji Restoration, peasants/commoners formed their own schools to become educated because it was the best way of fighting tax fraud.

That is, when an official told you, a rice farmer, that you owed more taxes than you really did, it was very useful if you were good enough at math to know he was lying (and could prove it) and if you were good enough at writing to write a letter to your government defending your case.

all of which is to say it's crazy that mega-corporations are now pushing education to be "what if you paid us whatever we tell you to for the rest of your life and never do math or write anything ever again"

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol

sazandorable

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

Lord us Korra fans are gonna have to endure so much until the show does the misdirect

#Yeah let's be honest they're absolutely setting things up for a big twist on what REALLY happened #Can't wait to see people learn in real time that narratives can lie

#No Pharmacy your stupid AI assistant who can't even say their name right half the time doesn't make my phone call for refills any easier! 🙃

Stream's Done!

We mostly explored and tried to find spots we couldn't get through before. But we did eventually meet up with our mermaid friend and went on a scanvenger hunt for some orbs that I'm sure were totally separated for non-ominous reasons!

We will continue on Tuesday provided nothing comes up, see yinz then!

Watch this video on Twitch Live

With torpedoes and a baby sea monster named Swish at our side, we continue searching for our dad!

It's really fun when there's a character creator and the choices you make in there are acknowledged.

So, since the newest update added an intro skip, I decided to round up all the species' commentary in the beginning. Theo's is my favorite of the bunch.

Though apparently Gustavo comments on your selected farmer later too? I might look into that later.

#Grimshire #Aww the sheep one is cute.#And Jack and Poppy's make me laugh #They're such kid reactions ya know?

#The Amazing Digital Circus #TADC Spoilers #This is what it should mean when people ask for representation in media #Having multiple characters show different experiences #Zooble being out and proud probably contributed to how strongly they held onto their humanity #Meanwhile you have Jax who refuses to accept her real self treating her own life and everything/one around as a cartoon with no consequences #I actually had the thought of how Jax's repression was a factor in her and Zooble's dynamic #That there was an element of jealousy from Jax as well as the fact that Zooble didn’t put up with her bullshit #Anyway: regardless of what you think of the characters themselves #It is a good thing for a piece of media to have two characters under the trans umbrella as important characters #And also being character foils to each other

Zelda Reacts Part 15 - The Hero of Time

a very special episode of Zelda Reacts to celebrate the Ocarina of Time remake!! I hope I did this outfit justice, I'm a pretty new Zelda fan and I've never played this game (but I have read the manga and loved it!!)

Part 14: Hylian set <<<
