Found the portal, expect my corpse to arrive in 17-20 hours.

What

What the hell

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

Theory on why we headcanon specific characters as trans more often than others, using the Fizzlebeans as evidence.

Warning this is EXTREMELY LONG

Ah, Perry the platypus! I see you have laid your eyes upon my my ace-inator! You see, when I was in college, I loved going to my classes in comfortable clothing. But all the other students laughed at me for not looking "good enough" for the ladies! So, I decided to completely eradicate all standards of appeal by using my ace-inator! And soon, everyone in the entire tri-state area will be asexual!! Nobody will feel any sex appeal towards anyone anymore!!!!

It could be worse. You could get sent to the Northeast Border, and Dynastic Chinese officials on the borderlands were scared shitless of Koreans they saw as killing machines that the dynasty can barely control. Some of the choice things recorded are: they maintain eye contact with our sword hands while making greetings, they pre-emptively get into sword-drawing stance while bowing for greeting, they always look at the exit to the tent while drinking every few minutes, as if they're ready to bolt after attacking.

"Have you seen those fucking turtle ships? I am not fucking with that. Just calculate the rice tributary taxes and keep your head down."

"And don't get me started on organ guns that shoot hundreds of gunpower-propelled flaming arrows per minute. we're lucky there's like, just 1 peninsula of them and we have a good thing going."

September 1991. ‘Fashion’s sending in the clowns.’

did tumblr staff delete the “Ron DeSantis is on heat suppressants” post

Just in case

i said it before and i’ll say it again: we NEED to make desantis address the omega allegations.

unlike the homophobic ‘DRUMPH is GAY for PUTIN’ shit, desantis will actually feel compelled to address our reasonable, logical, measured concerns about his secondary orientation. that’s because he’s the first candidate who’s at once too online and not online enough. he’s an animated version of your least favorite uncle’s facebook feed. but he still does not have the poster’s spirit. all around him he has an army of the worst remoras in the world making fashwave fancams and desantis wojaks, and it’s still not enough to give him swag. he gets flustered when pressed. he has to be taught not to make weird faces in public and he actually listens to the people teaching him (instead of leaning into it, as trump might do). he’s beholden to the internet, a slave to it, and is still terrible at it. so not only would he actually respond to the omega stuff if we talk about it enough, he’d respond in the funniest possible way.

And Now, An Unnecessarily Long Post Guesstimating How Long The Events Of Bugsnax Took Place

TLDR: My best guess for how long Bugsnax transpires is either between a couple months at least or a year at most.

So here’s the thing. The reason I even did all this meticulous research was to answer a question someone had in a Discord server. I figured I should probably make my inane ramblings a public post as a means of archiving for future usage, so here I am.

Please keep in mind that these are all educated guesses. I have both researched in my own time and scoured the depths of the Bugsnax Wiki to try to put together a coherent explanation of my thoughts. So inevitably there will be things I've messed up on or left out altogether. Any feedback or additions are appreciated!

In addition, this post will contain spoilers for the events of Bugsnax. If you haven't already gone through the main story, I strongly advise you not to read onwards, so as not to spoil your playing experience.

With all that jargon out of the way, let’s dive in!

Be careful of Asexuals y'all, I heard they aren't fucking around

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

To wit:

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

i was explaining my sexuality to my coworkers abt how im both asexual and into kink culture, and after a minute my coworker said "Oh! It's like, you don't play the FNaF games, but you like the lore!" and i haven't recovered

Cackling.

Folks, seriously.

PLEASE.

Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.

URGING you to consider firework alternatives:

- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky

- dropping a stack of large books on the floor

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

Late tonight a bunch of staff are playing a game called role call and if you thought fugitive was wild just w a i t until i tell you how this goes cause role call is absolutely terrifying

We aren’t letting the campers play it so that lets us up the scare factor by 147%

Ok so the game had to be pushed back a few days so we can figure out scheduling so heres the gist of it.

The more people you have for this game, the better. It has to happen at night. The people get into a straight line, and begin to walk in that line all around the area. They cannot turn around and look at each other, and cannot speak; with the exception of the person at the front of the line.

That persons job is to begin the role call. They simply say, “Role Call!” And their name, then each person down the line says their name in turn.

Here’s the kicker: there’s one person not included in the line. The Taker. They have the job of stealing away the person at the end of the line as silently as possible. The game’s sole purpose is to instill a sense of fear and paranoia in whoever is in front, because as more people get taken, there are less and less people to say their names during the Role Call.

The front person decides when they want to start the Role Call. Obviously, the more often it’s said, the less scary it is. But as more and more people disappear, they become Takers and can then do more damage than just the one.

Some Takers can replace the person they stole, making the person directly in front of them either incredibly paranoid or safe. At least until the Role Call. Takers cannot say anything during it, so it usually ends up more terrifying to know that the person behind you is silent. Again, everyone in the line cannot make a sound except responding to the Role Call.

The game is over when the person in front is taken. There is no winning, only waiting. Waiting for your turn to go. Imagine the fear that person in front has, when they softly announce “Role Call” only to find that everyone behind them is gone.

Not exactly a game for the weak willed.

My reactions to this, in order 1. What The Hell Kind of Creepy Horror Movie Punishment Game Bullshittery is this?

2. I want to play it Right The Fuck Now.

thinkin about how the fandom likes insisting that Data has emotions despite him insisting that he doesn’t. like i dont get why people want to insist that Data isn’t right about his own experiences, which are complex, and different from others, but no less valid. to be honest, data is awesome aroace and aplatonic rep. he doesnt have love for his friends, but he still is attached to them, his life is made better by their presence, he desires a life partner, children, even though he knows he doesn’t feel about them the same way that is expected. in the episode where he tried dating, he told counselor troi, don’t i have a lot to offer someone, even though i don’t have emotions? and he was right, he does!!!! Data doesn’t need to secretly have emotions that he doesn’t understand to be perfect as he is. We can take him at his word. And, I support his desire to acquire emotions, if thats what he wants, but its sad that he was made to feel incomplete for not having them. If anything, I wish his storyline had gotten to a place where he didnt want to be human anymore, where he realized that he liked who he was, and his own unique experience, even though he was inspired by humans. But anyway, yeah, I think Data is great aplatonic rep and shows how you can be aplatonic and have friends if you want them.
