I recently saw a year-old post remarking that the opening bars of "Holding Out For a Hero" kind of sound like Touhou music, and it occurred to me that both the Touhou series and Jim Steinman's body of work are situated in liminal spaces characterised by a sort of perpetual adolescence, but, like, in diametrically opposite directions.

I was about to make a joke about a milieu swap AU that casts Marisa Kirisame as a a thirtysomething dirtbag who peaked in high school trapped in a spiral of self-destructive nostalgia for a version of the 1980s that never happened, and also she has a really cool motorcycle, but then I realised that this would be unironically be peak fiction.

“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.

Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress

[grootficguy]

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.

Hey, no homo, but I am sitting on the broken swing set out back in the perfect, quiet, 2:00am blackness and picturing the softness of your voice and the darkness of your eyes with such perfect and terrible clarity that it feels like I'm choking on my own heartbeat.

Now I'm eating croutons straight out of the bag.

[le-panda-chocovore]

Still no homo ?

[c3rvida3]

I'm gonna level with you, friend: I am eating these croutons gay style.

Soulslike boss where when you get them below 20% hit points it triggers a taunt where they refer to themselves in the third person, and the name they say is completely different from the label on the on-screen health bar. The game immediately pauses, buffers, then displays a popup informing you that someone else's health bar has been shown in error and apologising for the inconvenience. The depleted health bar is then replaced with the correct (full) health bar, and the fight resumes.

It has been exactly one decade since I last posted on this blog. Have this.

It's a college AU of this already tenuous premise for a blog. I did this in a week. Do whatever you want.

the other day i was telling my partner about my new coworkers and the spirit moved me to start inserting characters from Piano Man

[iwilleatyourenglish]

i did it for a bit before he noticed. Paul, the single real estate novelist, and John, who got me a drink for free, went by undetected, but there really is no easy way to sneak in Davey, who's still in the navy and probably will be for life

[iwilleatyourenglish]

he got really exasperated and went "hang on, NO. i KNOW Davey."
