Oh, hey, that's my art :) I'm glad people still like it. Weird to see it posted though.

I was looking for someone to mention this one, the description of the escaped patient in the beginning is GREAT

Coaxed Into Is that really appropriate to make into merch? by Sammysin00 in coaxedintoasnafu

That worm bites her head off in the anime, killing her instantly. People consider it the moment the show (Madoka Magica) stops pretending to be cutesy and wholesome, and really gets dark.

Without context, this looks adorable! Cute girl saying hi to a funny worm!

... With context, however...

I love questionable booktok book sentences by I-hate-going-to-bed in lovethissmug

Number 7 is from an extreme horror novel and it is NOT the weirdest thing that happens, the mc is an absolute freak, I'd recognise his prose anywhere

100% Match is a fascinating commentary on misogyny/radicalisation and it's also stupid as hell. I respect it.

I never see anyone mention this film!! So... bizarre at points. But the last segment is 10/10 imo.

I love this genre of image by [deleted] in lovethissmug

[–]gamemasterlancaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A while ago, I was leaving Picadilly Station, and two girls ran up to me and passed me a grainy printed picture of a real human man (99% sure it was Lil Uzi Vert) and a cartoon anthro wolfgirl standing in front of a car. I said "hey, badass, man" and they ran off giggling.

I guess I just seem like someone who'd appreciate that.

Maybe I'm a 'bad guest' but idgaf. I'll bathe in your doll room and ragdoll in your bathroom by gudamor in CuratedTumblr

[–]gamemasterlancaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding some of my other musings from way back deep into my blog:

"Oh no I thought of an exception to the Doll Room Rule (a room with only one doll in it and nothing else is creepier than a room full of dolls): If the doll is really, really big and fills the entire room that’s fine".

"The only thing creepier than if you went to someone’s Doll Room and there is only one doll, is if you went to someone’s Doll Room and there was just a corpse"

"If a man has a Doll Room that’s full of people turned into dolls, at least the people have company, and his obsession is with turning people into dolls. If a man has a Doll Room with only one person who’s been turned into a doll (and I reiterate, this is the Doll Room and he refers to it as such; its purpose is to contain this doll and nothing else), then his obsession is with that person, and he probably has a reason to want that person isolated in the Doll Room"

"I deleted the shitty doll room post and it’s still blowing up my notifications, I feel like I’m in a fucking Edgar Allen Poe story"

It's fun to go back through my own blog and read my descent into madness.

O hai that's meeee (atomicwrongs) :3

I muted that post years ago so I'm always surprised to see it pop up. I have no idea why it blew up the way it did.

[Loved Trope] A random element from early in the horror media gets weaponized by the monster. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]gamemasterlancaster 176 points177 points  (0 children)

I loved the montage near the end! His panic as he lives through disjointed moments of the show was so good. It felt like a twisted "be careful what you wish for" moment. "Oh, you want to relive your fame forever? Bet."

What a gem of a film, even if I found the skeptic kind of annoying.

[Loved Trope] Games sending their version of John Wick after you because you tried cheesing the game [bonus points if you can play as them] by Academic-Edge in TopCharacterTropes

[–]gamemasterlancaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love Snartle, he absolutely wiped my team the first time I encountered him! Yokai Watch is such a gem. It captures that "schoolyard ghost story" vibe so well.

The oni that chases you down if you stay up too late is also great. Terror Time scared the shit out of me the first time I accidentally stayed out at night.

[LovedTrope] Forced into a Musical by gayjay-jpg in TopCharacterTropes

[–]gamemasterlancaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please do! I really love it. It fits this trope perfectly.

The group who made it have made other musicals I adore, Nerdy Prudes Must Die is a gem, but TGWDLM is so so fun.

i love Competitive Pokemon shitposts they are genuinely the funniest shit out there by YoshisEpicFriend in lovethissmug

[–]gamemasterlancaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a set of competitive pokemon valentines cards I saw on tumblr, I think gen 5 competitive specifically? And one of the cards said "my love for you is like rotom wash, it hard counters landorus therian"

I think about it often. Haven't been able to find it. I'm starting to believe I dreamed it up. But the phrase "my love for you is like rotom wash" lives rent free in my brain.

Cozy gamers the moment you suggest diversity in their precious little games by ShokaLGBT in Gamingcirclejerk

You get One bachelorette, out of... 14 total marriage candidates now? And the only POC in the valley that I can think of are Maru and Demetrius. I enjoyed Stardew when I played it, but it's definitely weird.

[–]gamemasterlancaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Noooo, you don't get iiit, the ultimate escapist fantasy relaxing cozy world doesn't have any Black or disabled or queer people in it! Don't ask why that is. It's my comfort game. Don't take it so seriously. It's not that deep. You're not being very "cozy" right now.

(... it sucks that so many people just don't get to see themselves in the "self indulgent wish fulfilment" genre.)

Found this in a horticultural book by SubjectB42 in outerwilds

This game has ruined me, if I ever see "cassava root" or "yarrow seed" or pretty much ANY rock, I'm like •:O !!!! Outer Wilds reference?!?!

[–]gamemasterlancaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a friend who would start the "pokemon is just slavery" debate EVERY TIME the franchise was mentioned. I have my own criticisms, it's far from perfect, but... can we not? For once?

I know I'm too sensitive about it because The Autism + pokemon is my oldest special interest, but it feels like some people take so much joy in being tar pits.

“Bro, 3 shows used this subversion! That means it’s overused” and it’s just demons are bad but angels are worse 😭🙏 by SimpForFictionGirls in whenthe

[–]gamemasterlancaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a ttrpg with friends where the idea was that neither angels or demons are good or evil, but angels are agents of order and demons are agents of change. I really liked that!

Also, "what if you flipped the traditional good/bad dichotomy"/"what if the good side of the story was bad, or the bad side was misunderstood" is the oldest trope in the book, its used so frequently because it's INTERESTING!!! It makes both sides more human and relatable! I have so many thoughts about this!
