look at how they are standing, so possessive of mira, legs intertwined so no one can get to her. polytrix has been planned from the beginning

[rainbowriddler]

Mira's hands are just hanging out on their asses.

So I just realized that Hazbin Hotel season 2 is really clever with Vox.

During the song where he is recruiting other overlords to his cause, he's constantly changing parts of himself to match who he's working on. Accent, clothing, whatever it takes.

And I totally just realized that it's an incredibly perfect detail. With Vox being the demon of modern media, it's essentially the perfect illustration of how big entertainment panders to audiences. It's a representation of how media companies include token characters--who are racially, sexually, or even physically diverse--to gain traction with those particular audiences.

But those representations are rarely, if ever, more than a superficial detail. A token statistic to gain viewers. "Look at our entertainment! We showed a gay couple for 2 seconds!"

"Check this out! We have a physically disabled character! (They'll probably be miraculously cured at some point, but it still counts)"

"Wow! Look at our cast of characters! The main character is still white, but the entirety of the supporting cast is super diverse! And we will put forth the bare minimum to represent those cultures!"

All this to say, Vox puts forth the minimum amount of effort to make the other overlords feel like he truly sees them, to coerce them to join his cause. Because if the masses support him then there will be no one to stand against him. He will truly be the most powerful sinner in Hell.

i feel like people aren't getting how dire ai is. we are running out of drinkable water. our brains aren't engaging as much with what we see and hear. people near data centers don't get clean water and experience electricity blackouts. it's being used to make pornography of underaged people and women. it often just lies. it affirms everything. it lies. it has made people kill themselves. it lies for gods sake. and people act as if im dramatic for being staunchly against it. 'now i KNOOW you hate ai and whatever, but look at this cute video' this isn't me being a new age puritan about internet videos, this is about the fucking earth and our future living on this planet. people are suffering now, people will suffer more, and my friends and parents will roll their eyes and think im annoying for despising ai so explicitly. we need to wake up because we cannot live like this

one of those things you have to record so people don't think you're lying when you tell them about it

[thickness-protection-program]

I want to go on record and say I really love when fanfic writers self-promote. First of all, my dash is so chaotic that chances are I actually didn’t see your fic the first time you posted about it. If you reblog it a few times at different times of day (or over multiple days!) I’m much more likely to see it! Second of all, even if I did see your post the first time (or even if I’ve seen it multiple times!) if I was busy or not in the mood for that particular kind of fic at the moment, there’s a good chance I haven’t actually read it yet. So the more times you reblog it the more times you are reminding me that hey, I actually did want to read that at some point. It helps me! And I appreciate it! So please, keep self promoting and self-reblogging!

So this is largely about Zoey and me trying to figure out how the physical nature of the kpdh universe works.

We gotta get the Honmoon Science Brigade on this stat! Ill try and rustle up some grant money for a study.

FIRST

Either honmoon weapons cut through demons like SOOO easily (like poking a balloon with a pin) and Huntrix has just gotta avoid getting hurt by demons while they poke them

Or Zoeys a fucking tank in a sleeper build. (All of them are honestly.) But Zoey fights with knives that dont even have handles. Shes cutting through torsos by pinching her shin-kals. (And yeah sometimes they just glide around without her even holding them but Im not sure if thats animated like that for ease or to depict fluidity or if thats meant to be canon. And I dont know what to do with that.) Regadless shes usually all pinching grip strength. Her forearms should be HUGE!

Rumis saingeom and Miras gok-do are big heavy weapons that transfer kinetic energy at impact. (Unless they acutally weight nothing or little. Fucking magic. But a real sword or polearm is heavy) And much of their cutting power comes from their mass. Heavy shit hits harder. Its why getting hit with a baseball is worse then a tennis ball even if theyre thrown by the same arm. But Zoeys shin-kals probably dont weight much at all. So her cutting power comes from her muscle (... or magic *hiss*). She should be an upper body beast.

Shes pinching all six in this image and cutting someone in half! Pinchy pinchy. 🦀

So its either magic or Zoeys muscle density is off the charts. Dont shake her hand. Do not challenge her to an arm wrestle. Avoid purple nurples from her or she'll tear your nurples off.

Id like to see that more in the sequel. Muscle her up like 20%. Little beef cake berserker cutie .

SECONDLY!!

I think a lot about the pink dust the demons poof into when killed(?).

So either demons turn to dust when you cut em with a honmoon weapon OR they used dust instead of blood cause children are boring and cant handle bloodiness. Im imaging that large sections of the bodies still teleport back to gwimas moms basement or wherever gwima lives. But the blood remains cause... it fell out? Like if a demon takes a piss up here but then goes back to gwima the piss remains, right?

SO If they had stuck with blood (assuming dust is for classiness.) Zoey would be fucking caked in blood and guts at the end of fights cause her shin-kals require her to be so close to the demons shes evicerating. Mira would be pretty clean. Rumi would def have blood and guts on her. Zoey would need a fucking bath and her clothes would be ruined. Her shin-kals aren't even long enough to cut through a whole torso so she'd have her fucking hands in body cavities. Shed be walking gore at the ends of fights. (Kinda like wolverine.)

Do I want gore in the sequel? Kinda but no.

Twinsies!!

Just saying. Maybe Zoey gets a muscle glow up in the sequel.

This shit keeps me up at night.

Do other people think about this stuff? Has this already been addressed?

The notes are broken. This is what tumblr is all about apparently.

[atonau]

THE NOTES ARE BROKEN!  This has been reblogged so many times, Tumblr just shrugged and said “infinity”

[scp-threats-is-back]

Kinda wanna embed myself in eternity

[willgrahamscock]

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

[willgrahamscock]

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags

[willgrahamscock]

immediately adding ‘fandom conga lines’ to my vocab

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

not my tweet or my fic (and there’s a good chance of this comment being a bot) but yeah, don’t do this. sure, some writers wouldn’t mind having fanfics (or direct continuation) of their fanfics written by someone else. some may even be thrilled and happy. but the fandom etiquette is that if you want to write a fanfic or a continuation of someone’s fanfic, YOU POLITELY ASK THE WRITER FOR THEIR PERMISSION. not their readers.

also 5 months isn’t long at all. 5 months is 5 minutes when it comes to fanfics. I’ve waited years for my favorite fics to get updated (one of my favorite fanfics was updated by the author after 13 years) and I’ve never said anything to them about “it’s been ___ years, I don’t think it will get updated anymore”. because another fandom / fanfic etiquette is that fanfic writers write for free in their free time, they don’t owe you anything. maybe they will update one day. maybe they won’t. if you want your favorite fic to get updated, you comment something like “this is good!! I’m excited for what happens next” and maybe your positive comment will motivate the author to update. but you don’t say “it’s been ___ months or years”. fanfics writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. they’re just kind enough to let you read their works for free. stop being rude and entitled to fanfic writers.

Zoey: Bathroom now!

Rumira, rushing to the bathroom: Zoey whats wrong?!?

Zoey: Nothing’s wrong but take these.

Rumi: Are these…

Mira: Pregnancy tests?

Zoey: Yup! We’re going to film a tiktok!

Rumi: I am not taking a pregnancy test for your tiktok.

Zoey: It’s a trend and it’s only going on my private tiktok.

Rumi: 😑

Mira: 😑

Zoey: TWICE and KATSEYE already did it. It looks like so much fun!

Rumi: Fine.

Zoey: YAY!

Mira: Do we just take the tests, i don’t see how this is interesting.

Zoey: You take the tests but you don’t look at it. Then we put them in this cup. When we are all done we mix them up and reveal what they say. It’s pregnancy test roulette!

Multiple intro takes and some peeing later.

Zoey: All right pick a stick!

Rumi takes a second to pick one and Mira just grabs one randomly.

Zoey: Ok reveal in 3, 2, 1!

Mira: Negative!

Zoey: Negative!

Rumi: …

Mira: Uhh Rumi you have to say what you got.

Rumi just stares at the test.

Mira: Rumi?

Rumi: Positive…

Zoemira: shit

Mira: Zoey turn off the video.

Zoey: On it.

Zoey picks up then phone then slips and lands directly on her phone.

Rumi: omg Zoey are you ok?

Zoey: Yea I’m fine.

Intro of their video starts playing. They stare at the cracked phone screen that has their newly posted video playing on loop.

Mira: Is that… your official account???

Zoey: yup

Rumi: And now the whole world knows one of us is pregnant…

Zoey: yup

Huntr/x: shit.

Zoey: Do we tell Bobby?

Mira: He probably already knows.

Zoey: And Celine?

Rumi: I don’t want to even think about telling her.
