That place where the things go

I'm Double, 25 years old from the Northeastern US! This is a personal blog where I post a little of everything, but mostly game fandom stuff. My favorite games include Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, and Ace Attorney, but you can expect to see other stuff as well, especially other Nintendo games! My switch friend code is SW-1365-2775-9891, let me know if you add me!

Huh!

Hey. Hope you don't mind me putting this all here. I worked for Team Aqua when the 2014 Kyogre event happened. The boss paid really well, and the other grunts in that group were the most friendly people I think I've ever met. They had me really, honestly convinced that flooding the world was a desirable goal to strive and fight for, and I honestly have a lot of trouble these days with those same thought processes that they instilled in us. I must have had taken out at least 40 Magmas all on my own before it was over. When the shit hit the fan, I fled to another region and changed my name. As far as any of them know, I died or went to some prison. Sending from a burner acc behind anon because I really, really don't want to be identified.

absolute worst brand of media criticism is when people start off making a reasonable point then jump straight to "and here's what SHOULD have happened: [something that actively makes the story worse]"

listen. this guy is the best character Pokemon’s ever introduced. his name is Larry. you have all these crazy-ass gym leaders and then there’s just just this one Normal Dude. he hasn’t slept in three days. he works a 9–5 office job and considers doing taxes fun. he wakes up and eats styrofoam on wheat toast for breakfast in the morning. he’s the only one who terastalizes his ace into a type it already has instead of a different type. his name is Larry

and then you find out that this milquetoast man

is also one of the best Pokemon battlers in Paldea

are some of the people newer to tumblr aware of the joys of theme customization on desktop? I know some ppl are just on mobile so they can’t really change things but like SO many blogs nowadays have 0 theme customization and just use the default theme and I’m beginning to wonder if they even know about the option. It’s one of the main reasons why I still use tumblr

[calypsolemon]

this post is not to be mean to people for not knowing btw. i just think its good for people to know bc page customization is one of the things that is slowly disappearing from the internet and i suspect that many ppl don’t even realize its something they can do on here bc they’re so used to their only customization options being like a pfp and maybe a header image. The option to do so here is something I desperately want to preserve since its a fantastic middle ground between the bare bones profile customization of twitter and like. coding an entire webpage from scratch.

[calypsolemon]

like for people who don’t know, this is what my blog looks like if you visit it on desktop, outside of the dashboard popups

desktop users who have no theme this is the life you could be living

[calypsolemon]

ppl in the tags asking how to do this, or who did not even know it was an option, here’s a very quick how to:

1. choose a theme. this is the easy part, search “blog themes” or “html themes” in the tumblr search bar, there are MANY blogs out there dedicated to curating lists of free tumblr themes. Find one you like and save the code in a seperate tab. I would probably check to make sure the theme was not created too long ago, as tumblr website changes over the years have broken some older codes/themes. I would also try to find a theme with lots of customization options, as this makes it easier to make your blog totally unique looking, even if you are unfamiliar with html.

2. either go to your blog’s actual page [YOUR-URL.tumblr.com] and click on the little paint palette icon that shows up in the top right corner, OR you go to your blog’s appearance settings, there should be a button that says “edit themes”

3. once you open the blog theme editor, there should be an option to edit html in the top left corner. Select and delete ALL of the present code. Then, paste in the code of your preferred tumblr theme and hit save. You may have to exit and reenter the customization page for the full effects to take place.

4. From this point on, customize to your heart’s content! Just make sure if you are using a theme made by someone else, that you don’t accidentally remove their credits. This can’t really happen unless you are editing the html directly though, so you likely don’t have to worry.

Keep in mind, messing around with tumblr themes still takes time, even if you’re not doing it all from scratch. Think of it like decorating an empty room. It will take time and effort, and it’s not at all necessary, but it’s worth it to make your space feel more like yours.

They closed the Death Wendy's over a year ago and I'm still mad about it. It was a Wendy's located in the middle of a six-way intersection, requiring many pedestrians to cross the street 3 times in a row in order to get to it

It was one of the city's top ten spots for car crashes, multiple people died there, and the service was terrible. I miss it dearly

you can take a random old fire emblem character named Lard from a japanese-only game called Fire Emblem: Nomenclature of the Boy Crusade and there will be somebody out there who loves them dearly and draws fan art of them every day

[setethsbigbaratitties]

woke up today and immediately had to draw my boy lard

lyon 😔💔 ...

this one was prompted by an anon ask, idk who it was obv but i hope u see this!

[melia-antifa-archive-deactivate]

i still think it's really funny that in fire emblem they revealed that this guy is gay

[melia-antifa-archive-deactivate]

"say HELLO to the death knight in the next update everyone... they're making him bisexual."

[goweninsane]

Can you romance him?

[melia-antifa-archive-deactivate]

Not only can M!Byleth romance him, they also profess their love for one another and get engaged in the middle of combat.

Oh I forgot to mention another kinda funny thing; this guy's sister is also gay. It just runs in the family.

[lefttobloom]

every time marth features in a new fire emblem game, they make him 10x as bishie-fied as the last iteration, which is hysterical but now i just feel like im looking at a different character.

this is what 32 years does to a mf.

[lefttobloom]

adding some of my favorite tags bc yea. yall are right

[inkskinned]

idk if it’s just how my very silly brain operates but does anybody else get like. a weird second wave of procrastination right before you finish something. like you already did 70-90% of the work, it realistically won’t take you that long to be done, but for some reason. u just can’t. like. time’s up on executive function. like. oh sorry did you want to not be worried about this? bc im going to make u have to be worried about this. thanks!

Literally this is on the most commonly-used evaluation form for adult ADHD

It’s the first item on the damn list!

suddenly it becomes clear why I’m stuck on chapter fourteen of fifteen of this novel-length

[im-a-sokka-for-you-ooh]

Haven’t finished a bunch of movies/tv shows/assignments and only leave abt 30min left of work on all of these and just never come around to finishing it.

[mananabuffins]

“Played this game for 300 hours but won’t finish the last quest. Why? Can’t do it.”

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

the funniest thing about fire emblem is that the series is named after a item in the first games so considering like half the games take place in completely seperate universes they had to keep making more and more fire emblems and theres like seven seperate fire emblems. one of them is a chainsaw.

A new Pokémon has been revealed, the Pokémon is called Gimmighoul and is a Ghost-type Pokémon. It has two forms, Roaming Form that you can see currently in Pokémon GO and a Chest Form. Chest Form has the ability Rattled. You will be able to connect Pokémon Go to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet in 2023. You won’t be able to send Pokémon from GO directly to Scarlet & Violet but linking will allow you to get Roaming Form Gimmighoul in Pokémon GO.

The part of the second Great Ace Attorney case where Susato breaks down why Sholme's snake theory is impossible is so much funnier if you know that everything Sholmes suggested was actually in the original story and the writers are calling out Arthur Conan Doyle for knowing nothing about snakes.
