Ordo Draconum: The Lazarus Vial

[tcgates]

In honor of tax season.  If this doesn’t get you pumped to file, then I don’t know what will.  I love you guys for this.

Kingdom Hearts is dumb.  It’s childish, naive and shlocky.  It’s also a warm reminder of what it felt like to hope just for the sake of hope, to believe that optimism could win the day.  It’s that part of ourselves we lose once we experience that double-edged sword called growing up.  It’s the part of myself I cling to not from desperation, but from adoration for the days my troubles could be vanquished by simply being happy.  Kingdom Hearts is the representation of all the stupid things we did and thought as kids, but were responsible in shaping us into the adults we became.  It’s paste-eatingly, mouth-breathingly, chasing-kids-around-the-yard-with-dog-poo-on-a-stickingly dumb...and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[tcgates]

I don’t know what to say.  I loved the original RE2, adore it every time I replay it, and it’s hugely responsible for the person I’ve grown to be.  I didn’t have high hopes for the Remake, but it blew me away with how much love and care went into its creation.  It wasn’t the game I loved, it’s an entirely new one i fell in love with.  Despite its faults, I still enjoyed it immensely.  Good on you, Capcom.  You made me a kid again.

Happy First Day playing Vesperia!!!

[tcgates]

Whenever I post music, it’s like a recommendation to anyone who sees it.  I love music and it gets me in so many various moods.

[tcgates]

Tale of Vesperia, my favorite Tales game, is getting a re-release soon, and it always makes me think of these girls and their difficult to ignore chemistry throughout the game.  In hindsight, I think this was the first real moment I saw something special between two female characters that wasn’t intended.  Good times.

Whatever you celebrate, I hope you receive lots of presents and even more love. A kiss to anyone who reads this. 😘

The most gorgeous RE theme ever.  Goosebumps, ahoy!

The annoyance of being a Resident Evil fan is looking so forward to a release, yet knowing full well you’re going to dislike it.  Please be good.

Censored on tumblr

What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):

Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I can’t even read them. Right: when I try to go to someone’s dms from their blog.

Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags they’re in, even if they were before.

I can type things into replies, but it won’t actually post them.

Since it doesn’t seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. I’m probably getting deleted though

Tumblr is shadowbanning people and they aren’t even trying to be subtle about it.

Please spread the word.

[lovesicksick]

I’m glad this is spreading but simultaneously it makes it sound like the shadowban is much less severe than it is because I didn’t realize, and this shadowban is so severe I can’t even add on / tell anyone that.

All my likes, reblogs, and replies are hidden from the notes of EVERY post.

When I like or rb things it doesn’t show notes in someone’s activity / dash, except long-time followers (not sure about the exact cutoff/conditions).

If I reblogged and added something to this from a non-follower they wouldn’t even know. Check and see: my rb’s don’t even show up in the notes. So people couldn’t even find out I added something on by checking the notes either:

Not to mention: I’m hidden from all searches, can’t be @’d, past @’s of me are hidden from my notes, I don’t get notified when people reply to a post I replied to, my @’s don’t give notes, and every search on my blog is blanked. I can’t even ask/submit to myself even with anons, and lots more.

Oh, yeah, and: MY BLOG ISN’T EVEN MARKED NSFW. Every flagged post I’ve found was restored. But every flagged post you contest brings attention to you that risks you just getting shadowbanned randomly.

[lovesicksick]

THIS is the version that should get spread around…

Playing back through every Kingdom Hearts so I’m ready for 3.  Hey, I’ve only had THIRTEEN YEARS to prepare.

[tcgates]

So many people have told me that it’s impossible to write a good harem story and I feel like, at this point, that’s a challenge I might accept.

To anyone who’s read my book: I usually don’t assign songs to characters, but this would totally be Hellena’s ballad.

First day wearing my custom Shego hoodie. So warm.

Effing...adorable.
