"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair."

"I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind."

"I hate it, I hate the way you're always right."

"I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry."

"I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call."

"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

"Some asshole paid me to take out this really great girl/guy/person."

"I screwed up. I, um, I fell for her/him/them."

"Make anyone cry today?"

"She/He/They never wanted me. She/He/They wanted (name) the whole time."

"Secondly, don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it."

"I don't like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own?"

"So you disappoint them from the start and then you're covered, right?"

"Just 'cause you're beautiful, that doesn't mean that you can treat people like they don't matter."

"Alright, wait a minute. No drinking, no drugs, no kissing, no tattoos, no piercings, NO ritual animal slaughters of any kind."

"Oh, God, I'm giving them ideas."

"You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know?"

"I guess in this society, being male and an asshole makes you worthy of our time."

"Someday, you gonna get bitch-slapped and I'm not gonna do a thing to stop it."

"Otherwise known as an orgy?"

"And hell is just a sauna."

"Expressing my opinion is not a terrorist action."

"I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls."

"Now, I know Shakespeare's a dead white guy, but he knows his shit, so we can overlook that."

"Yes, Miss/Mister/Mx "I Have An Opinion About Everything"?"

"I know how difficult it must be for you to overcome all those years of upper middle-class suburban oppression. Must be tough."

"Well maybe you're not afraid of me but I'm sure you've thought about me naked, huh?"

"Am I that transparent? I want you, I *need* you, oh baby, oh baby."

"Romantic? Hemingway? He was an abusive, alcoholic misogynist who squandered half of his life hanging around Picasso trying to nail his leftovers."

"All right, not that I give a damn, but how was everybody's weekend?"

"She's/He's/They're meeting some bikers. Big ones. Full of sperm."

"Ooh, see that, there. Who needs affection when I have blind hatred?"

"Well, that's what she/he/they would have said if she/he/they wasn't/weren't so doped up!

"Don't touch anything! You may get hepatitis."

"Should you be drinking alcohol when you don't have a liver?"

"Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?"

"Hey listen, assail your ears for one night."

"She/He/They has/have a pair of black underwear, if that helps."

"Don't, for one minute, think that you had any effect whatsoever on my panties."

"Sweating like a pig actually and yourself?"

"Obviously I struck your fancy so you see it worked. The world makes sense again."

"Hey, no, hey. I don't wanna hear that defeatist attitude... I wanna hear you upbeat!"

"Maybe if we were the last two people alive, and there were no sheep. Are there sheep?"

"Only so we can have these moments together. Should I, uh, hit the lights?"

""Hates him with the fire of a thousand suns." That's a direct quote."

"Something true... I hate peas."

"You're sweet, and sexy, and completely hot for me."

"What is it, Asshole Day?"

"Leave it to you to use big words when you're smashed."

"Same little asswipe shit-for-brains everywhere."

"I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?"

"I don't know. Maybe it is up your ass?"

"I learned French for you!"

""Heinous bitch" is the term used most often."

"The shit hath hitith the fan... ith."

"You don't always have to be who they want you to be, you know?"

"I happen to like being adored, thank you!"

"She/He/They, my friend, is what we will spend the rest of our lives not having, Put her/him/them in your "Spank Bank" and move on."

"You're wrong about her/him/them. I mean, you know, not about the spanking, but the rest, you're wrong!

"I warned him that if he told anyone, the cheerleading squad would find out how tiny his dick is!"

"It's not quite the crisis situation you imagine."

"Can we, for two seconds, ignore the fact that you're severely unhinged."

"That was until she/he/they kissed me."

""Quivering member." I like that."

"You are amazingly self-assured, has anyone ever told you that?"

"And I didn't sleep with a Spice Girl... I think."

"You're 18, you don't know what you want. And you won't know what you want 'til you're 45, and even if you get it, you'll be too old to use it."

"My insurance does not cover PMS!"

"You don't buy black lingerie unless you want someone to see it."

"Well, the night I take you places you've never been before."

"Sacrifice yourself on the altar of dignity and even the score."

"You're asking me out? That's so cute! What's your name again?"

"I have a dick on my face, don't I?"

"Do you even know my name screwboy?"

"I was watching you out there, before. I've never seen you look so sexy."

"Has the fact that you're completely psycho managed to escape your attention?"

"You're not as vile as I thought you were."

"You're looking at this from entirely the wrong perspective. We're making a statement."

"Oh goody, something new and different for us!"

"Oh, I'll stay away from (name), but I can't guarantee she'll/he'll/they'll stay away from me."

"Oh wait... was that... did your hairline just recede?"

"I'm getting trashed, man. Isn't that what you're supposed to do at a party?"

"I don't know. I say do what you wanna do."

"French food. We could eat some together Saturday night?"

Wanna hear something funny? Everyone knows the human body as a machine is kinda difficult to put down in the sense it evolved with survival instincts that will completely overrule your own consciousness if needed to stay alive.

I wanna remind u about this logic DBH

Androids, in theory, are supposed to do things human can do but without these survival instincts in order to reach maximum efficiency, since they're machines, computer tools specifically to handle the lack of animal survival we evolved with.

But that's... Not really 100% true. Androids were programmed with "survival instincts" but in prol of the owner. It's more about avoiding damage so the owner doesn't ain't in disadvantage rather than the android surviving for themselves.

Mix that with the fact CyberLife's motto is "imitation to perfection" and now u get where 80% of the deviant cases come from. That's why it's important remembering already existent things lead to deviancy since they start getting out of control, not the opposite.

But then u would ask "But Marcus, how much control an android got over their own system?"

And that's a good question. How much of these "unconscious" systems they're aware of and are able to interfere? Since, well, they're supposed to be literal and straight to a point, irrelevant things ignored. So I would say, much like they got a metaphorical wall keeping 'em inside 'em masters orders, they can't simply control everything, they ain't even supposed to notice it unless it's relevant for the master or task. And if what I mentioned by the survival instinct is 100% true, then they can't interfere in these impulses either, can't shut it down, turn it off - it'll be triggered and they'll have to deal with it. The red flag tho is in not doing for the sake of a human, which in most cases can end up with laws or orders being directly ignored or disobeyed, it's were deviancy happens.

If the android is lucky enough they're like Connor, since his master lets him make multiple decisions alone, what keeps him in "non deviant" state while struggling with the concept of life and death. If the android is unlucky enough they're like 2012's Kara, who the first impulse when opening her eyes is start to question things even to the point she fights the assembly machine over fear of dying. Well, u could be like Markus having all the philosophical and social issues shoved inside his ass for a decade by an old man while trynna remind himself he's an android while his master wants a person - is that luck or lack of luck?

Or maybe they're all just unlucky for having degree of consciousness they were hard-coded told wasn't a genuine thing at all. Even your dumbest security model who can't say shit without sounding the most robotic and awkward mf on Earth got an unnecessary degree of consciousness enough when emotions knock 'em door. The environment asked for it, the conflicts forced it, the AI adapted malfunctioned fast - but I'd argue they're doing exactly what they were supposed to do.

INTRO TO SCRAP (3rd edition)

no i didnt copy and paste my previous intro but with dividers i like better whaat

hi im scrap aka quill (if u still call me mel out of habit its fine lol) (he/they but im open to other stuff.) most people on here call me some variation of scrap (scrap, scrappy, etc.) im going through a tiny identity crisis (prepare for new and more consistent branding!!)

i came to be in an ancient time in an ancient land. we didnt have to worry about stupid stuff like the government or gender back then. it was pretty chill. then a bunch of shit happened, and, somehow (i think there was some time travel happening in there idk it all sorta blurred together) i ended up here, in a land far across the ocean, where i do have to worry about the government and gender. yippee.

i think humans are generally pretty cool though! and i see how difficult it is for you in this world. thats why im on the internet. its a pretty good way to talk to people about it.

i like to write about people and about the world. i also draw sometimes even though i rarely post any art lol. i also wanna get more into making music but writing is the main thing for me

also, as an ancient being in the form of an 18 year old, im legally old enough to sue people 🔥🔥 so minors you can be here thats fine. just if you interact with me be mindful of the fact that i am no longer among your ranks 👍

this blog is cool with:

people of any race, ethnicity, culture, whatever

people of any sex or gender

lgbtq+ people (duh im one of u) (yes the whole community but the weird illegal ones dont count)

people of any religion/spiritual belief (just be chill about it)

disabled people (including neurodivergent people)

people struggling with mental health

anti genocide

anti genAI

PUNCHING NAZIS

and doing everything on main

so if you have a problem with any of that lowkey what are you doing here either go away or get educated

also if you ask me for money i will block you. if you are a hateful person who posts hateful things i will block you. if you make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe i will block you. thankfully i havent interacted with many hateful people on here. i would like to keep it that way

current hyperfixation song bc i need more people to know about my absolutely peak music taste: from the river to the sea by sister wife sex strike AND communism in space by the window smashing job creators. i just think its fun

anyway now for the fun part :DDDD

(a small fraction of) MY WIPS

Fairfable

click on the title for more info and lmk if you want to be on the taglist :D

What will hopefully become an indie animated series about young broke fantasy creatures moving into a tree together as part of a chain of events fated to occur. They all have their own issues, and all they think they're getting is some roommates to share the financial burden of their new home. Little do they know that there's a lot more in store for them.

Lynx is hoping that having her own space will make everything feel less overwhelming. Sal wants to be anywhere but his mother's house. Zing's there for shits and giggles—at least that's what they tell everyone—and Shailyn likes the tree too much to just leave it at the mercy of new tenants. And Nema's inexplicable visions seem to be pointing toward a future that brings them all together in ways that even she can't imagine.

Gildamore

click on the title for the intro post (ignore the content label idk why its there) and lmk if you want to be on the taglist :D

It always starts when you turn fifteen.

[insert super cool and intriguing blurb here cause i fear i still havent written one (the old one is outdated cause the story has gone through so many changes lol)]

Gildamore has a long and convoluted origin story, but I'll spare you the details for now. It's become what will be a series of 5 novels about two characters getting shipped off to magic school and becoming besties very early on. Unfortunately they also both begin crushing on each other at the same time. They are terrible at hiding it, but Lav has no ability at all to pick up on social cues, and Aeryth is just clueless in general (i love her sm.) This one's probably gonna be more slice of life (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA OH MY HAHAHA NO ITS FUCKING NOT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), and it was always gonna end up being at least 75% fluff (ok thats still true but THAT 25% HAHAHAHAHAHAA.) Gildamore is entirely my excuse to write cute romance with a side of emotional devastation and they save the world cause they're cool like that™. Well, not exactly "save the world," but close enough. And when I say emotional devastation I mean after reading one of the scenes my friend said smth to the effect of "i want to both cry and punch you" so yeah lol

my cousin (not the one im gonna force into helping me with fairfable music. different cousin. this one is a party pooper. he would make a poop joke right here because i said that. hes a grown ass man. i love him lmao) is mad about it being ya tho. its not even ya. throughout the series the characters ages range from 15 to like 20. also there are more no no words than the typical ya fantasy book. the magic system is cool as shit tho im really proud of it

Still Shine The Stars

can i draw my own characters consistently: the saga (click on title for intro and lmk if u wanna be on the taglist) :D

Do you hate capitalism? Do you think oligarchy is a terrible way to run a country? Do you think Donald Trump should get impeached and go suck a cock? (update as of november 2025 turns out he already did that lmao) Well then have I got the political cartoon disguised as a high fantasy story for you!

Life is good for Beatrix. Sure, they won't let her learn magic even though she's of age because she's "not ready." But, as the king's niece, she's entitled to a lot of perks.

But all that changes when her chambers are broken into one night by two masked strangers, and she is torn away from the life she's always known. The two strangers—Kyren and Silas—take her out into the wider world, where she learns that maybe life isn't all it's cracked up to be in the confines of noble society. And when a lifelong street urchin named Madge joins their group in search of a way out, Beatrix comes face to face with the cosmic gap between Madge's life and her own. It unsettles her.

So their little rebellion has four members now.

That's the premise for the first volume anyway. Each of the five main characters (I really like doing a main 5 don't I) gets one (yes I know there's only 4 in the synopsis. Elodia comes in later.) Yet another huge long-term project. But that's what happens when you want to overthrow an entire regime of old men too rich for their own and anyone else's good.

Once There Were Dragons

a fanfic to replace the monstrosity that is dragons the nine realms. click on the title to read it on ao3 :D

Once, there were dragons. Supposedly. Sigrid doesn’t actually believe any of the stories. Who would? She isn’t a child anymore, and she’s outgrown myths at this point. Of course, all of that changes when she discovers that maybe there’s some truth in the legend.

It all starts with an exceptionally strong earthquake.

With the help of a new scaly companion and the new kid on Berk, she embarks on a quest to protect new discoveries against all odds and prepare the world for an impossible but necessary change.

I don't update this fic often (my sincerest apologies to the three whole people who have bookmarked it.) I promise I do intend to finish it at some point. You're just gonna have to wait 3-5 business months between chapters. (*coughs in i havent posted a new chapter since may*)

TAGS WAIT ACTUALLY

check out my MASTERPOST for tags and taglists!! just interact with one of the taglist posts if you want to be added to the taglist

so yeah thats about it

i will update this when needed

if you think im cool dont be afraid to let me know as i am severely attention starved from having no friends as a kid and i compensate for that by being annoying to strangers online

my asks are always open! if you put the 🍃 emoji in your ask i will try to answer in elvish. i will not translate. you'll have to do that yourself when i make the textbook and dictionary :)

any interaction is welcome i literally start giggling and clapping my hands with glee whenever i make a new friend on here. like genuinely thats not a joke im just a dork 💀

i love yapping and i love when other people yap please yap with me i want to hear about your shit too

anyway so long nerds im off to not do any work and sit on my bed listening to the same 3 songs on repeat

btw the main dividers are from here and each individual wip divider is credited at the bottom of its respective intro post except for the otwd divider which can be found here :)

The Great BNHA Review: We Live in a Society

The world of fiction! The place where everything in the story happens. So when you're worldbuilding there are many things to take into consideration to make the world of your story feel alive.

From the people that inhabits it, the cities, towns, villages, and locations the characters live in. And even having a set of rules to follow to avoid plot holes and help the world they live in make sense.

Much like how despite technology being more advanced compared to real life, yet still not being able to have flying cars or advanced robots. Those kind of things can sometimes break immersion in the story, and as a writer you would want to avoid that as much as possible.

HOWEVER! The world BNHA takes place in doesn't make a lick of sense when you think about it for more than thirty seconds, and the foundation of the world breaks the more you think about it.

Case in point, UA!

I think at this point we all can agree that UA wasn't an actual school and instead a glorified boot camp to train child soldiers to fight. And for a series called MY HERO ACADEMIA!! There's hardly any academia in it at all.

Apparently Hori didn't wanna bother with that part of the series and being forced to write "boring" scenes and just get back to the exciting battles. Like where're the scenes of the class studying for their latest tests? Where're the scenes of the kids doing their favorite activities? Where're the scenes of them bonding with their superiors?

WHERE'S THE FUCKING ACADEMIA PART OF THIS GOD FORSAKEN SERIES!?!?!

You can't just name it My Hero Academia and only give us 20% of what the show is called! It just feels like false advertising at this point!

Also about the whole child soldier thing? Yeah let's go deeper into that.

Why are we relying on TEENAGERS to fight in these big battles and save the world when they've only been in hero school for a single year? That's literally like forcing teenagers to discover a cure of a disease when they've only taken a year of biology class!

And yeah, I get it, it's an anime so it's expecting you to suspend your disbelief, and they already had experience with fighting villains before so it would make sense to recruit them. But again, these are fucking teenagers and we shouldn't be relying on them to fight battles the adults should be able to handle!

This is one of the biggest problems of having your story take place in a world similar to modern real life, because here adults actually gives a shit as to what children go through and knows it would be fucked up to send them to fight in war! And the excuse of it taking place in Japan and thus how they do things is different compared to most countries is NOT GOING TO CUT IT!

These grown ass adults should KNOW bringing kids to fight in a war is fucked up and should NOT be encouraged! But since they're so desperate they choose to get them involved! The only exception to this is Rock Lock since he already knows this!

Okay, let's step away from the whole child soldier thing and focus on something the story never gave us introspection of... the fact that we never got to see how quirkless people are really treated.

It's explained that 20% of the population is quirkless, so almost a quarter are born without it. And from what we saw of Izuku's life with it, discrimination must be a common thing in their society. So it would make sense to explore that since it's tied to the main character's backstory and how he's going to make things better for others like him.

... Except that's not how it goes.

We never get to see how the life of a quirkless person is like, we never get to canonically see Izuku interacting with someone like him with the only exception being Melissa. But the thing about her is that she grew up on an island and her father a respected scientist, so it's kind of difficult to tell how the quirkless life is like if this is the only example we get... and it's not a good one.

But wait! There is a canon major character that was also quirkless like Izuku! And it's Yuga Aoyama. And how did the story treated him?

Oh it was revealed real late into the story with no awareness and treated him like shit for being an unwilling traitor, then replace him with Shinsou who whined and complained his way into the Hero Course.

Uhh, what the fuck?

And the worst part about all this is that Izuku has no reaction or acknowledgement whatsoever! He doesn't sympathize or feel less alone, he doesn't comment or say anything about this! So it's like what's even the point!?

Oh don't worry, we'll come back to this whole Izuku not acknowledging his past later in the review! But there's one more thing I wanna talk about in this world.

Is how blatantly biased society is to the Heroics occupation.

From what we've seen and learned, people are not allowed to use their quirks in public. And that the only way would be able to legally use them is to have a provisional license... which is only obtained if you're training to be a hero.

Uhh, but what if you don't wanna go into heroics? What if there is a person who wants to be a comedian? A layer? A construction worker? What if they have quirks that they think would help them in their jobs? Would they get in trouble if they tried using their quirks on the job? Is the Provisional License exam the only way to be able to use your quirk freely? Is there another test people can take to get one if they don't want to go into heroics?

Yeah you see what I'm trying to say here?

Since Hori's so focused on getting to the next big battle that he barely thinks about the world BNHA takes place in and leaves holes in the process. The world of BNHA feels more like a dystopia where heroics is all that matters and that anything else is boring and not as interesting. And since the world itself is so flawed, that I don't feel immersed into it at all and all I have are these questions on how things are run.

So in the next part, we'll be taking a look into the themes and messages the story tries to tell it's readers... but oh boy, did it really fumble with it's messages.

[christianpuppetshow]

ok i'm doing it!!! because i can!!!! you can't stop me!!! (pls don't shout at me or be annoyed i will cry x)

2. who would you trust to decorate your house, dan or phil?

i feel like i would trust neither of them alone, they need to balance each other out. think i would lean more towards phil though as i love a plant and a splash of green, and i'm not a monochrome girly - no black, white or grey please. but then he would bring something obscenely outlandish and ugly without dan's input which scares me. feel like they're very much modern, japanese style, smart house vibes and i am a whimsical little goblin who wants to live in an old cottage by the forest, filled to the brim with antiques. it needs to look like a fairy lives there and they don't give that energy, yk?

3. if dnp were plants/flowers, what do you think they'd be?

this is where my complete lack of botany knowledge rears its head. this is no think, just vibe. dan = snowdrop. phil = bluebell. don't ask me why cos idfk.

4. what's you're favourite dnp fic trope?

i am only just getting into dnp fics, but i basically have completed the wolfstar tag on ao3. i like a happy ending, i'm not huge on smut, just something nice and whimsical and well written and a bit fluffy. i just read where we belong by parentaladvisorybullshitcontent on ao3 and i fucking looooved it - that's my shit, i just wish it had been longer cos i enjoyed it so much.

6. if you could gift dnp a wild animal for a pet what would you give them?

northern snow hog. or i would just domesticate steve and scraggy for them so they could have them at the phouse.

7. what's a silly dnp conspiracy you genuinely believed at one point?

that they were actually in a relationship wtf as if - gross!! (just kidding don't call me a phan denier in the comments)

9. have YOU ever nearly died?

eh probably

10. do you think you are more dan coded, phil coded or a mix of both?

i'm definitely a mix. i have daniel's depressive tendencies and philip's whimsy lol. i, too, never leave the house, but that's the borderline agoraphobia more than anything.

11. what era of dnp makes you the most nostalgic?

peak britcrew era when they worked at the bbc - my babies. makes me wanna cry.

12. what are your comfort dnp videos?

any of the relatable ones. and the pontoon experience.

14. if you had five minutes with 2009 dnp what would you tell them?

prepare yourself for a whole load of bullshit and craziness and invasion of your privacy. it's going to be so shit and so beautiful and so difficult but you'll have each other and it will all be okay in the end. and go easy on yourselves, don't try to mould yourself to anyone else's expectations.

17. favourite live moments from either younow or radio show eras?

this isn't younow or radio but when they're streaming on the gaming channel and dan so obviously checks phil out and looks him up and down and they both look at the camera - love that. also the stereos, i'm listening to them at the minute and dan's laugh warms my heart so much, they're both so giggly in them i love it.

18. favourite tour? tatinof, ii, wad or tit?

tit. i went to tatinof and can't remember it lol but the tit era is just unmatched.

19. who did you discover first, dan or phil?

danny boy, i think i found him through charlieissocoollike?? somehow? maybe on the sidebar or something. i was obsessed with charlotte then i stumbled on dan's channel and watched basically everything he had uploaded during an all nighter when i was like 12?

Heya! :3 I have some weird asks for you. 8, 15, 21 27, and 44. This is probably a lot, but I dunno the ask limit. Or if there even is one. XD;; But the questions are fun lol. *dances away*

I need to dish out a few of these myself but dude there is no limit on asks for me. nwn Ask me any, ask me all, I love doing these! Will put it under the cut though cause I got a little rambly. ^^;;

15) What's the weirdest thing that's happened to you? Hmmmm... hard to say.. -3- There's a lot of ways I could answer this honestly but I don't wanna worry or depress anyone either.

Let's just keep it simple and say *one of* the weirdest things that's happened to me was working at Walmart and hauling carts before lunch. And a coworker, that I've never spoken to, comes up to me and starts as if it was the middle of a conversation- "Yeah so ever since my wife died I've just been having such a hard time connecting with my 18 year-old son..."

Like....??????????????????? Okay???????????? Thank you for dumping that on me????? XD;; Life of an empath..

21) Your first celebrity crush? Uhhhhhhh.....??? XD;;; Hmm... Good question... I don't really pay a lot of attention to celebrities like actors and shit, unless they themselves really stand apart from others. Otherwise they all just kinda blur together in my head.

I guess... I guess you could probably say- AH! no! Got it! Collin Firth! Him playing Mr. Darcy?? OH my gosh <3333

But see it's normally cause of the characters they play, and less about the actor. XD; Like I was about to also say Harrison Ford but that's cause he played Lionel Larraby in Sabrina. So... *(shrugs)* XD;;

27) Books or films?

Don't do this to me... XD;; Please don't.. You know I barely consume either anymore... *(Sighs and dons my glasses like a nerd)* Alright... Let's go over the pros and cons.

Between books and films, books definitely offer a greater possibility for character exploration, world building, set ups for larger narratives, and hold more prose than what a movie could do. They can be a bit difficult to get through some times, especially if you have a damaged attention span like I do, but you're allowed to go at your own pace. Picking up a good book can absolutely change your life, and I can not recommend the Mythadventures by Robert Aspirin enough.

I'd dare say the worst con about reading a book however is picking up a new novel and getting heavily into it, only to realize it really wasn't worth the time. :P My worst experiences with reading I'd say was reading nothing but dystopic political things back to back to back to back for home school.. =_= Following up Alas Babylon with Farenheit 451, 1984, Animal Farm, *and* Hunger Games was a lot to take in and it's largely why I hate hearing about politics.. And don't get me wrong, they're all amazing stories and absolutely worth knowing about. Just... maybe not back to back... DX A film on the other hand sets the pace for you. They only take (on average) an hour and a half to get through. For all the purple prose you find in a book a movie will have visuals to show you instead. And my goodness there is so much love and effort put into a good movie. Everything from set to make up, to costume, to sound design.. A film is a terrific medium that can absolutely bring a book to life. But you only get 90 minutes. 90 minutes to get in, understand what this world is, connect with the characters, and see them through their journey. A book can do so much more about telling the story properly at the right pace, but a film will have you subject to its pacing and that can be the greatest thing, or the worst thing about a film. On the other hand, a film' also gives room for more visual experiences than what a novel can do. Everything from prat falls to meaningful pauses can convey so much, much more effectively than what a book could do. A picture says a thousand words and a good movie will have the words a novel couldn't find.

Film adaptations of books are such a hit or miss.. And more often than not they tend to be misses. :P But when they hit, they hit hard, and it'd be difficult to imagine the story told any differently. And in the end, watching pictures move is easier to get through than a million words on paper.

But I think in the end I'd still have to side with books. Simply because at the end of the day, everything starts with a story. And that story needs to be written down in some way or another, lest you forget it.

44) Do you collect anything?

*(Looks at my manga)* *(My books)* *(My pokemon cards)* *(My movies)* *(My plushies and figurines)* *(My enamel pins and button badges)* *(My yarn and beads)* *(My knives)* *(My mugs)* *(My shoes)* *(My games)* *(My posters)* *(My ocs)*

Lol no but for reals though. XD;; I like collecting a lot of things. Can't help it. :P I think so far my favorite to work on is the cards. ^^ Things get expensive, but cards are cheap and I like sorting them and filling pages. nwn

Anyways. Thanks for the asks!! Sorry I got a little long there about books and film. X'D

i don't wanna put a damper on anyone else's fun or enjoyment of the new tamagotchi paradise but i got a few gripes about it

(tho, i'm still enjoying it unlike some people i've seen just absolutely shitting on it on reddit bc it's not like previous iterations of tamagotchi models.. to which i say, go back and play your other models then? kinda sucks to be a person who doesn't have any of the more advanced models and finally having a 'new gen' one and everyone hates it bc it's not xyz)

it takes ENTIRELY too much effort to dial zoom in and out and i'm not sure why they made this choice to require so much turning to zoom in and out when it's kinda crucial to taking care of the tama. (other than zooming out to planet but that's the time display either way) but it's not like the dial is really easy to accidentally turn if it's in your pocket or in a case or whatever so i don't know why they didn't allow for less turning to zoom, especially when it DEFAULTS to zoomed all the way out so even going to check your tama for a second you have to zoom all the way back in to cell mode to check it's stats. it's quite annoying. (even more so if you have a crocheted case on it bc it makes it a bit difficult to turn the dial)

to piggyback off of that one, i kinda wish the timeout time was either longer or required you to push a button to tell it to turn off bc i literally cannot stall for a second or two when taking care of it or it'll back out of menus i'm in or turn off completely. sometimes i just wanna sit and watch my tama bop around for a bit but the device desperately does not even want to be turned on and i feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of even having the device if the screen turns off almost immediately.

my third annoyance is... far.. too.. many.. confirmation prompts. don't ask me if i want to feed it this or that, just feed it to my tama. why are you asking if i'm sure i want to enter whatever code, yes obviously or i wouldn't have spent all that time scrolling to put in the 8 chara code in the first place, just go. why did they choose to put a game demo animation screen, another? kinda demo screen (i feel like? feels like there's two screens before it gets to..) and a 'how to play this mini game' screen on the mini games? i appreciate rules being upfront but i mean the manually explained how to do the games WITH the tama, why couldn't they have done that with the other mini games? (or, i don't know if it would have been possible, a 'playing for the first time how to play demo' and then stop? it's really annoying to have to press a button THREE TIMES just to get to a mini game. especially when these are the money grinding games so it takes so much longer to grind for money.)

i'm also confused why the mini games are separated. or why there's even a dial button. the mini games could've gone with the tama games, the sitter could've gone on the tama screen, the shop could've gone on the field screen, the cell research stuff could've gone on the cell screen, the user info and settings could've gone on the planet screen.

the whole thing is just overall very unintuitive to the point i'm like did anyone even beta test the fluidity of the usage of this device? cos it feels like such a hassle to navigate and get around with. even if ONE of these above things were changed, it'd be an overall much better experience but bc they wanted to be a little quirky with it, i guess, it's like such a struggle remembering where everything is + getting to it before the screen shuts off. as fun as i'm having with it, it feels like i spend most my time scrolling back and forth through menus trying to find things rather than getting to play with my tama.
