forgot to turn off automatic updates on wi-fi and tumblr updated to the latest monstrosity version where you can't see the full note count (awful), thankfully figured out how to install an earlier version of the app and it's fine now, back to january version, but geez, way to get a jumpscare, do not update the app if you are attached to the old interface.

And honestly? And this is just my opinion. I prefer one world over Olive town. Olive town was a huge disappointment and I found myself enjoying One World WAAAY more, actually playing it for several hours straight several days in a row. With Olive Town, I forced myself to play it. I was bored of the story and ALMOST every character. I find One Worlds cast of candidates a ton more interesting. AND THE TOWNS!!! I LOVE THAT THEY’RE NAMED AFTER DESSERTS FROM DIFFERENT PLACES, AND ARE THEN BASED ON SAID PLACES. I’ve been playing the series since about 3rd grade and in my opinion, One World is fitting the old harvest moon style better than Olive Town.

But look, if you like Olive Town, then great! Glad you do! Please leave us who like One World alone?? Please stop actively hating on the game and making others feel bad for liking it?

Also look at One Worlds Harvest Goddess she is so very fine I just. I. She’s SO FINE.

Hello, I am back!

The past few months were hellish. There was a bunch of family drama happening at the same time, I got sick, I fell into the rabbit hole that is BTS. But last weekend, I managed to write the latest chapter of my Youtube AU fic, and I couldn't be more relieved. I am hoping I can write more now that I got my shit together.

I can't say I'd be active on tumblr, but I would be on my Twitter. It is almost exclusively a BTS stan account by now but don't hesitate to say hi ❤

And here's the update. I hope you enjoy. We only have another 2 chapters to go 💕

Also guess what. I am getting into Kimetsu No Yaiba lately haha another rabbit hole...

so because of the crossover danny williams exists in the ncis'verse and sam hanna has actually met him in that very crossover but scott is going to be playing a different character that's not danny and sam hanna is just gonna work with this guy who is a doppelganger of the jersey cop he's met in hawai'i 15 years ago ... make it make sense

recent tumblr changes that I absolutely hate:

hiding the edit and delete buttons on posts

apparently you can't delete unanswered asks now? (the block/delete menu disappeared)

can't open privacy dashboard from the app anymore

I'm gonna need to know more about the show those gifs are from. For research purposes,,, obviously 🤭

*rubs hands* certainly! i am glad to have an excuse to talk about one of the best shows that is sooo severely underrated. this got long, i'm sorry, and I barely scratched the surface.

the gifs in question are from a TV show called wynonna earp, it ran between 2016-2021 in canada and on syfy channel in the US, consists of 4 seasons, season 1 with 13 the rest with 12 episodes, and there's also a movie that came out in 2024 on tubi.

the show is based on comics, it's gothic western horror/action/thriller/suspense/comedy/drama monster-of-the-week type of show with an overarching arc and its own lore that keeps developing with each season. it's kind of like supernatural if it didn't hate women and was actually good. as someone who grew up with xena and charmed this show was exactly up my alley from the start.

the titular character is wynonna earp, who is a descendant of the legendary gunslinger wyatt earp, and she's destined to put down 77 revenant demons (outlaws that her ancestor killed with his magic gun peacemaker) in order to break the family curse, revenants are former humans that come back from hell as demons. this is just the starting point, it gets much better and more complex. wynonna is a loveable screw-up and a badass at the same time.

for lovers of old men and implied yaoi there's john henry holliday aka actual doc holliday from history and he's an immortal but also spent almost 150 years down a well as a result of an insane psycho-sexual love triangle between wyatt earp, himself and another guy (it's not explicit but it's basically what happened lmao, and they do 'jokingly' call him 'wyatt earp's boyfriend' at least once), he also happens to be wynonna's on again off again love interest but everyone is bi vibes and flirting on this show not including characters that are explicitly gay/queer.

there's a bunch of loveable main and recurring characters (honestly love everyone in this bar) but of course the main draw has always been the relationship between waverly earp (baby sister of wynonna and saying more about who she is would be spoilery) and officer and later sheriff nicole haught, known as wayhaught. they are basically the show's main romantic couple and they get the main couple treatment which was a first for me with a wlw couple. epic story and epic chemistry and it gets explored. they are basically known as horny monsters but also so in love that cupid himself commented on how in love they are. it's super refreshing to see two women who are allowed to be unabashedly horny for each other, the show doesn't shy away from that, and at the same time their relationship develops and grows deeper every season.

the thing is this show came on scene in 2016, at the height of the backlash to queerbaiting and the bury your gays trope in tv shows (2015-2016 season was particularly egregious with something like over 20 lesbian/bisexual women killed off across many different tv shows) and the fans were hurting and mistrustful, and the showrunner emily andras and the crew and everyone behind the show went 'no, we got you, we are not doing that', first they said that wayhaught will definitely happen without fear of spoiling their show (you have to understand the show barely started, it was like around second episode when nicole and waverly have their meet cute, one of the best ever, imo, and people watching the show, me including, were like 'aw they have such great chemistry, too bad it's not good to happen' and yet the showrunner told us that it will, right away).

and the second most important point is that they said outright that they will not kill off their lesbian/bisexual characters, so when nicole gets shot in S1 she is wearing a bullet proof west specifically as a response to other lesbian characters of other shows that weren't. this show embraced and welcomed a traumatised audience, the one that usually gets overlooked (remember how often shows that cater to queer women get cancelled) and was loved back dearly in return.

it will always have a special place in my heart and i wish it had 15 seasons to explore the lore and story they barely scratched the surface of. but even what we do have is wonderful and infinitely rewatchable, this is a rare show that loves its fans back and has no disdain for enthusiastic people who kept it on the air (there were campaigns too).

tl;dr: it's a great show that i highly recommend. one of my all time faves. found family, monster of the week, it's hilarious, it has heart and multiple queer characters. more people should watch it.

ps. if you have specific questions i'd be happy to answer it was just difficult to explain it all in one post and it got so long anyway.
