gamerbros be like “im not a transphobe but if you acknowledge that trans people exist in your game i will absolutely refuse to play it or stop immediately if i am currently playing it”
Is the post about that one boomer game reviewer who was seething over a game’s dlc having a scene with 2 10 pixel sized pride flags?
i think one big different between tumblr and other social media is the usernames. on other sites people will just add a lot of numbers to their username and here we all went “okay weird” and went nuts. you don’t make an account on instagram called motherfucker-unlimited, you do like ccsmith6.08 or whatever the fuck. here? usernames bigtiddygothgf and misha-collins-stan discuss special relativity with all the confidence of a thousand physics professors. a blog called sarah378 is a porn bot.
I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.
Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.
and theres a series of unwritten rules everyone follows
In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over 34 days, the 22-million-pound structure was moved 15 inch/hr… all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move.
professor sycamore when his hypothesis on the 18th type was confirmed after his findings were repeatedly rejected and laughed at by the heads of the kalos institute of pokebiology for over a decade
that post about gym leaders tweeting that rock and ground are the same type is funny but do you think this has ever been like a point of contention for biologists in the pokemon world. like the way the fairy type wasn’t discovered until recent years and was misclassified as normal type for most of history. do you think professors in the pokemon universe argue over whether certain pokemon have been mistyped or if certain types may actually not exist at all
Not to get all ‘Well actually’ over Pokemon, but I have to state some things. It would be incredibly easy to prove or disprove the existence of fairy types. Simply use a fighting type move on a Clefairy. If it deals massive damage, then it’s a normal type, if it deals very little damage then it isn’t. You could also use a dragon type move.
This actually brings up an interesting conundrum. The Clefairy in Gen I-V take massive damage from fighting-type moves, but very little damage in Gen VI-VIII. This is an objective fact, which means only one thing. There is something inherently different from a Clefairy in Gen III vs a Clefairy in Gen VI. This difference can’t be based on the region it lives in, because Hoenn Clefairy in gen III and Hoenn Clefairy in Gen VI take a different amount of damage from fighting type moves. This also means that it can’t be a time based thing where Clefairy suddenly changed from one type to another.
The good news is that there actually is a canon explanation for this. In ORAS’s Delta Episode you meet a person named Zinnia who explains that Pokemon exists within a multiverse
She describes a version of Hoenn without Mega Evolution, assumably this refers to the Gen III Hoenn. Therefore we can easily assume that there are multiple universes, one where fairy typesdo not exist at all and one where fairy types have always existed and been known about.
We can take this even further, Delta Episode contains a device that allows you to travel to another universe. Guess what it’s called?
A Link Cable
AKA, this thing:
This implies that not only does Gen III and Gen VI take place in alternate universes, but that every playthrough of Pokemon takes place in an alternate universe.
i will defend improvised storytelling till the day i fucking die i think stories told by people under pressure to do it fast, stories told in collaboration…. that shits gorgeous and ALIVE. have you ever gone to a writing workshop and someone writes the rawest shit in the entire world during a ten minute free write? playing dnd and some dialogue is so moving it makes you wonder how it came from your dumbass friends? got really into one of those ‘one sentence at a time’ campfire story games and ended up making something— totally unrecorded, lost except to the people who were there— that should have been in the fucking moma?
people are full to the BRIM with stories and honing that storytelling into a specific practice (ex. writing) is for sure a learned skill that takes tons of practice to do effectively but…… it’s there. it’s there and anyone can tap into it if they’re given opportunity and an audience to say it to.
look, the point of telling stories is to connect with other people. and all we’ve ever done throughout human history is connect connect connect so is it any wonder when you put a human being in front of an outlet and you say ‘tell me a story’, no one stays silent?
this is why i love DND. its improve storytelling at its finest. not only is each player improving their own story alongside the DM but also they improve based on the random chance that are dice roles and the collaborative effort always makes for a good time
“I’m a big PC gamer, and so I spend a lot of my time role playing games in the fantasy genre. I’ve played The Witcher 3 through, twice. This is the kind of thing I do in my free time, so the opportunity to work on this (The Witcher) for real and make it my job as well and get paid for doing my hobby stuff, was ideal. I also wanted to make sure that Geralt was represented as accurately as possible.” HenryCavill-#BigNerdEnergy.
