THIS is how you ally. THIS is how you use your privilege to help us. THIS is how you earn our respect. The White college students in Cape Town, South Africa knew the police would not shoot or harm them so they created a human shield to protect the Black protestors. I’m crying. I’m crying.
Ok so I love how this brands superman icecream has “a mix of our black cherry, blue moon, and vanilla flavor icecreams” on the front and then you look at the blue moon one like wtf is blue moon and its just…
“sky blue icecream with blue flavor to match”
excuse me.
what is blue flavor.
Bubble gum or cotton candy depending on who is selling.
I’m serious, that’s a problem. Let’s say I want to collect 5 feathers. I go onto my map, and place a marker. Why use the map to place a marker? Because otherwise I’ll never find them, because the map is too big.
It looks like I’m really close to this feather. Guess what, it’s 145 meters away. That’s about a minute of travel time. And when I get to the item, I just pick it up. Go back to my map, pick the next item 200+ meters away, and go back to collecting.
And that’s it.
I used to play a bundle of games on the PS1 and PS2, most of which where “collect the things” type games. In those, you would start the level, see a thing. Go over to the thing, turns out there is a challenge to get the thing. Complete the challenge, earn the thing. Takes 15 seconds to get to the thing, and about 1 minute+ to earn it.
That’s the annoying part now. Taking time out of your main missions to drive/ run/ swim/ fly, to the item is how you earn it. No “What is the answer to this riddle. No Destroy the enemies guarding it. No “play this rhythm game for two minutes.” It’s “Get to the thing, and win.”
Which leads to a final conclusion.
The collecting? It’s a chore now. Not a part of the game.It’s a method to fill an otherwise way to big game map with stuff to make it look like you’re doing a lot. There is no longer a reward, or incentive to collect things. In Spyro, you had to go and collect the Dragons to play the next level. In Crash you had to break the boxes to get the gems to open up the other missions. In Jak and Daxter you had to collect the Precursor orbs to get the Power Cells. In Ratchet and Clank you had to collect the bolts to get your guns.
That’s not the case now.
The maps are too big. Now the only problem is how long it takes to get from point A to point B.
That was one of the reasons old collectathons were good. Due to limitations, each map was fairly small and there were ways to travel quickly between maps. And when you needed something from one map to be in another map, it wasn’t some super arduous trek. It was more like solving a puzzle to open a fast door.
So I made a joke post a few days ago about a Gravity Falls Au where everything was the same except Ford was bad at drawing. Someone asked for journal pages from this Au so I took a quick whack at the Unicorn page
So apparently it’s canon that Stan was there when the twins were born-so just Imagine..
Imagine him crying when he finds out they’re twins
Imagine the nurses and doctors being unable to tell why the babies won’t stop crying-
And imagine Stan getting them to stop by just scooting them close enough to one another that they touch-
Imagine Stan finding out Dipper had a birth defect like ford with his birth mark and holds Dipper extra long cause he misses Ford-
Imagine Stan talking quietly to Dipper and telling him he’s strong and brave to make it out okay (since I read that Dipper had a blue face cause he might have been choked by the umbilical cord?)
Also Stan getting to like Mabel since she was very prone to make grabby hands at him when he would hold her-
Just- imagine everything’s nice and the apocalypse isn’t happening!
