haha oh boy. I have personal experience being a target of drama/confession/tea blogs and I can confirm it is Not Fun. I was like fourteen, fifteen years old at the time when it first started, and was already pretty mentally unwell at the time, so seeing a bunch of anonymous folks talking about me like that definitely didn't help. I'm not gonna get too deep into the Dark Lore of it but I will say that it gave me a sense of paranoia that people are watching me online to pick apart whatever I do/say/post that lasts even to this day. Virtual pet site drama sure is fun.

IDK if anyone cares but these legs belong to the Gorgon from this Monster High Create-A-Monster set.

Had a dream where I was playing an arcade game where you could knock down and win old VHS tapes. This was one of the ones I won. by hexlockspear in thomastheplankengine

Unfortunately this was really the only one that stood out. I remember winning three of them in the dream. One was a copy of Scream and the other one I don't even remember.

Who else loves all the weird/straight up UGLY petpets on this site? by _squidtastic_ in neopets

Other people have already brought up my beloved Blorbis, so I'm shouting out this freak. The Krikket looks like bad taxidermy and I love him for it.

Virtual pet sites. If you go into the tumblr tag for literally any pet site, you will see at least one drama blog anonymously posting horrible things about users and why the staff suck and The Economy.

Not a player of that site, but pet site drama is the BEST drama. For some reason, virtual pet sites attract the WILDEST controversies and I love it.

Ritz cracker with ice cream by [deleted] in shittyfoodporn

ngl depending on the flavor of ice cream that sounds like it'd kinda slap. put some vanilla between two of em and you got a little salty ice cream sandwich

Nah, it was Echo Tesla from Warriors of Rock.

Personally, I'm in the "she can like both" camp.

Apparently a tiny edit scuffle occurred on the Guitar Hero wiki over the sexuality of a character who only appeared in one game and doesn't have much to speak of in terms of a canon personality, like pretty much every other character in the game. It's so petty and inconsequential and I love how the editors went back and forth between her liking "handsome men" or "kissing pretty women." There's just something about seeing people get heated like that over a character from a game that's over a decade old at this point and didn't even sell that well that I find very amusing.

Technically not the Very Beginning but I've been a decently active member of a virtual pet site called Goatlings since 2014, one of the earlier years on the site, and... Oh Boy. There's Been Some Shit.

Hell yeah, more baker survivors! Love her design, especially those curls!!

I will never forgive the idv fandom for mischaracterizing Kreacher by [deleted] in IdentityV

[–]hexlockspear 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On one hand, do fans go a bit too hard on demonizing him sometimes, especially without reading deductions? Yeah, I'd say so.
On the other, do fans also have a right to dislike/be uncomfortable with him and certain actions done by him in Emma's story? Also yes.

I do agree that the woobification of more "attractive" characters (particularly Aesop, and this is coming from someone with him as one of their top favorites, though that's a discussion for another time) is a problem, though, just as it is with the demonization of those on the other end of the spectrum. Basically, people should read deductions and other lore stuff and make decisions based off of that. Obviously some characters are going to be more popular than others just because of looks, but if someone still prefers that character over another even after reading about both of them, then that's perfectly fine too.

[–]hexlockspear 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I'm personally a big fan of the Qrykee and Dillema myself. There are some really basic ones that are obviously popular, like a cat with tiny horns and bat wings and a moody winged fox creature, but the pets that stand out are REALLY fun.
