I stopped taking him seriously with his stupid haircut

[broken tartan]

Why do zelda games always have freaky characters

[marsh ibex]

tingle tingle kooloo limpah

[broken tartan]

True

[wheat sail]

i will lick your blood off my sword 😈 😜

[charred surge]

Do you want him to have a broccoli haircut?? Smh

[marsh ibex]

I want it to not be shit

[wheat sail]

frfr

[tawdry valley]

As opposed to what. Normal characters

[fiery burrow]

Reincarnation duh

[broken tartan]

Mayhaps

[tawdry valley]

Fuck that, I wanna see more of the village of people who eat rocks

[wheat sail]

maybe everyone looks like that in japan

[broken tartan]

Who knows

[marsh ibex]

gotta say it’s really funny that purah canonically fixed aging and no one seems to give a shit

[charred surge]

What if Girahim was named John and was a regular dude who worked in accounting (still tries to murder you and stuff he’s just way more polite and normal about it)

[wheat sail]

so its normal to them

[tawdry valley]

Bird people who have wings for hands and use bows instead of bombs

[opaque sigil]

I think the fact that ghirahim is a flunkie makes his goofiness justifiable

[broken tartan]

Bird people are real in japan tho

[marsh ibex]

I remember when botw introduced the rito and the zora existing at the same time and 500 theories were made for it to just not matter

[wheat sail]

the hint is lore doesnt matter

[fiery burrow]

One of them is a druglord

[charred surge]

What if the rito were called frito and made corn chips

[marsh ibex]

mfw people still complain about the timeline despite nintendo only making it cuz people complained about no timeline

[pine lotus]

is this convo zelda lore now

[wheat sail]

no

[fiery burrow]

why does the series that keeps wanting to reinvent itself not rigidly call back to the older games?

[wheat sail]

why do they want to reinvent themselves? are they stupid?

[charred surge]

The real timeline that Nintendo tries to hide from you!!

• skyward sword
• ocarina of time
• all the other stuff idc
• FTL : Faster Than Light

[wide quartz]

[fiery burrow]

its just OOT TP and WW

SS and MM as well I suppose

[wheat sail]

game theory please save legend of link lore

[marsh ibex]

there’re only a few games that need rigid placements

[tawdry valley]

Fuck you idiot, prosperity age is over,
you’re gonna get reincarnated to do this shit again - again

[marsh ibex]

Like minish cap is the first game after skyward sword which makes no fucking sense

why???

[opaque sigil]

ganon really got a helluva redesign

[marsh ibex]

How???

[fiery burrow]

are the new hyrule games connectged i dont really remember them

[marsh ibex]

the master sword just disappears and there’s an entirely new magic force and shit and it readily becomes irrelevant afterwards

[charred surge]

He got tired of using the whole “flood kingdom with monsters” thing and decided to resort to causing good ole political instability

[marsh ibex]

minish cap basically doesn’t matter and only needs to happen before the four swords games

Fuckin hate kinstones man

[fiery burrow]

who cares about 2d zelda though

[opaque sigil]

echoes of wisdom is so much worse than minish cap in that regard

and probably in every regard since it's mid as fuck but irrelevant

[marsh ibex]

does it share almost the exact same map as another game

[fiery burrow]

see not even nintendo cares

[marsh ibex]

*doesn’t it

[opaque sigil]

idk

[fiery burrow]

70 dollar DLC

is it $70

[opaque sigil]

60

I think

[warped rock]

nintendo excreting another $60 nothingburger remake game

[broken tartan]

Rich people paying $60+ dollars

[wheat sail]

and nintendrones eating the turds

[fiery burrow]

Nintendo is so peak

[wheat sail]

nintendo seal of quality

[broken tartan]

Nintendo would sue you for wearing a red hat

[fiery burrow]

Their games are good I mean

[warped rock]

pokemon series having 3 nuggets of change per generation, mario games are mostly the same, zelda is zelda, and metroid has no content

[broken tartan]

Nintendo peaked when the first splatoon released

[opaque sigil]

mario is way better than pokemon

[fiery burrow]

Pokemon

[opaque sigil]

and pokemon is made by gamefreak

[broken tartan]

Pokemon peaked when 5th generstion came out

[fiery burrow]

Wonder actually changed the identity

[charred surge]

Why don’t they make a pokemon game where you kill people smh

[opaque sigil]

pokemon is a flat line because it's all the same

[fiery burrow]

And 3D Mario has always been mixing things up

[rustic ore]

What do you think the Ghost type is?

[broken tartan]

We need a pokemon open world game

[fiery burrow]

Nintendo is why I believe 2D games suck

[opaque sigil]

Scarlet and violet are that

[broken tartan]

Pokemon-themed Ark

[warped rock]

cannot tell the difference between majority of main line mario games

[charred surge]

Ghost types are cowardly souls who refuse to let go of their existence on the material plane

[fiery burrow]

do you play em because with the exception of 3D land/world they are pretty different

[warped rock]

bad and badder

[pine lotus]

question

[charred surge]

In Mario Odyssey he speaks Greek

[pine lotus]

if i were to get into pokemon where would i start

[opaque sigil]

ni no kuni: wrath of the white witch

[fiery burrow]

-# buying merch

[opaque sigil]

[charred surge]

Spin a wheel

[warped rock]

Pokemon became trash when it went past 1000 pokemons

Or even before that ngl

[tawdry valley]

64:
it’s Mario in 3d
Sunshine:
but you have a jet pack
Galaxy:
but it’s in space and gravity is weird and you have a mean ass right hook
Galaxy 2:
more of the same thing but Yoshi is here
3d world:
No more gravity shenanigans but we took away control of the camera to give you a fursuit and bowser a casino
Oddessy:
some hats are sentient, have mind control, and one is your friend now.

[high hedge]

Yeah but they want to kill people

[high hedge]

Did you like them

[warped rock]

i mean i played 20 minutes of a pokemon fangame on roblox but i doobt that counts

[fiery burrow]

newer Pokemon are too overdesigned 😔

[pine lotus]

ok

[fiery burrow]

skeledirge is too but I LOVE skeledirge

[high hedge]

I haven’t played any switch pokemon

[opaque sigil]

I thought they had good and bad ideas

[charred surge]

And also Mario can speak Greek in odyssey

[pine lotus]

noted

[tawdry valley]

Most recently we got dlc for how bowser felt about losing his casino

https://tenor.com/view/super-mario3d-world-bowsers-fury-giant-bowser-bowser-nintendo-switch-gif-19928630

[opaque sigil]

but the fact that they had any ideas at all for a pokemon game is astonishing

[charred surge]

I’ven’t played gen 9 but I love garganacl

[warped rock]

skeledirge is one of the ugliest pokemon i've ever laid my eyes upon

It could be 1331 + 1332 or 1332 + 1333

[wheat sail]

do you bet your life on that

1332 is the sum of both pages

[charred surge]

https://tenor.com/view/portal-2-portal-wheatley-portal-wheatley-true-gif-4523901449301764000

[fiery burrow]

i haven't played p2 since august wtf

[wheat sail]

pantheon 2??

pokemon 2??

[fiery burrow]

[broken tartan]

So basically 1332 is the square root of the book

[wheat sail]

cuh...

[broken tartan]

Smh im dropping out of kindergarten

[wheat sail]

the pages are paged consecutively

so he could be looking at page 3 and 4 for example

or 10 and 11

[broken tartan]

Yes i do understand

[wheat sail]

something like that

and thep age numbers multiply to 1332

[broken tartan]

My humor is too advanced for you to undrrdtand

County Cork (Irish: Contae Chorcaí) is the largest and the southernmost county of Ireland, named after the city of Cork, the state's second-largest city. It is in the province of Munster and the Southern Region.

[fiery burrow]

[runic atlas]

Buying what?

[olive bobcat]

Bonds

[wheat sail]

or stocks

[opaque sigil]

treasury bonds

[olive bobcat]

Tammo's sending our boys to war and making mothers weep

[opaque sigil]

best I can hope for is "compassionate doses" depending on how much I can cry during the phone call with the company

healthcare is sooooooo cool

they really hate you if you're chronically ill

[runic atlas]

[ionic arch]

they're a myth. or they're all true but at the same time in whirling proportion

[hollow shadow]

Hmm idk

I think I've spent my life grieving

I've had this one for 5 days

It's going away though

Sinusitis

[wheat sail]

[runic atlas]

A damn cold took me out for 2 weeks

[runic atlas]

I should

In just a moment

[wheat sail]

your mood is worse if youre tired

[runic atlas]

I don't feel ready to rest

Mentally I mean

[ionic arch]

even like chronic body pain is fucking awful but you can't think with a damn headache

used to have to get MRIs a lot because I had the worst headaches all the fuckin' time

turns out, unrelated, have a brain cyst conveniently between several lobes!

[runic atlas]

Oh

That's not good :dies:

[ionic arch]

so that was a cool thing in childhood since they didn't know if it was gonna be cancerous and grow or if it would burst one day and short-circuit me

so I mean at least I'm adjusted to my own mortality but I don't have to like the long painful way down

[runic atlas]

Mhmh

[ionic arch]

uhhhhhh but yeah headaches blow

glad I get them less often but they're still debilitating

[wheat sail]

sorry about your brain cyst 😔

[ionic arch]

ehh, it's okay. it's been chill for like 20 years, that's a lot longer than I thought I'd have

[wheat sail]

you got 20 more left in you and beyond 😺

[ionic arch]

I know suffering, but I know love. I will not forgive this world but I will take joy in all the best of it. And the like, world part of it? devoid of what people do? beautiful, incredible, fills me with joy.

there is good. it's a hard balance.

and for all I know the cyst will someday come back for revenge, but

made it this far

[wheat sail]

poet

[ionic arch]

can't do shit because nobody thinks there's still a plague and I'm immunocompromised, and 22% mortality for me is a lot higher than the 1% most people get to keep being lucky on

so all I can do is a little shred of whatever I can in a hostile world

I will not lay down hope even in whatever death I choose or is chosen for me

Honestly

We should start programs to create some weird ass animals

Give us extreme selective breeding

COMPETITIVE selective breeding

Guy that makes the coolest animal after 2000 generations wins

My ex used to say "Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."

Here's an animal that is just a stomach, eyeballs and nerve endings and it is always in extreme pain

We've been creating wack dogs for centuries

BORZOI 🙏

[tawdry valley]

First of all - ex dinosaurs

[opaque sigil]

well yes but we didn't do that

[tawdry valley]

Second: all of them have wings, most of them have feathers, not that many can fly

xkcd: Birds and Dinosaurs

Sure, T. rex is closer in height to Stegosaurus than a sparrow. But that doesn't tell you much; 'Dinosaur Comics' author Ryan North is closer in height to certain dinosaurs than to the average human.

Cladistics was the worst thing to ever happen to biology and taxonomy

[tawdry valley]

My urge to ignore everything said by Paleontologists is being overcome by my XKCD appreciation

Oh wait IT AGREES WITH ME

[rustic ore]

read what you post

[tawdry valley]

Fuck you, birds are dinosaurs, crocodiles are large lizards

[rustic ore]

are crocodiles squamates actually

[tawdry valley]

This makes perfect sense if you believe that both birds and dinosaurs are hoaxes made by the government

[violet path]

I agree

[violet path]

Is this real?

[wheat sail]

Dinosaurs are lizard

[opaque sigil]

well lizards are actually a different taxonomic class from crocodiles aren't they

[high hedge]

Tammodile

The Tammodile is Tammo and the modern Crocodile’s common ancestor

[livid tree]

peep my topsters

wait nvm i forgot i was gatekeeping

[tawdry valley]

You can convince a 5 year old that their hands are their feet. You can’t convince a 5 year old that crocodiles aren’t big lizards.
I have used this basis of thought for every fact I have ever learned, and I feel like doing pretty well (when I ask if a 5 year old would think I am)

[tawdry valley]

@high hedge by the way do all the sin city chapters have different credits because they’re different productions?
Or are the credits the same

[opaque sigil]

who is asleep and why did you kill them

[marsh ibex]

they bared their fangs at me

[marsh ibex]

sin city wasn’t made for you

[high hedge]

Ooo I hadn’t considered that. Maybe!

[tawdry valley]

[opaque sigil]

[violet path]

Got any advice

Im taking it tommorow

Im getting very close or slightly over the qualifying score pretty consistently in practice

[tawdry valley]

Started the second chapter just now. Man I really want to see how these read/look in the comic

[opaque sigil]

not really, there's the classic 'if you get stuck skip and come back'

Japanese 7/11 ads are insane

[opaque sigil]

isn't that japanese commercials in general

[violet path]

National merit qualifier

[high hedge]

True

[violet path]

What are they

[high hedge]

I just find it odd to see them centered around 7/11

[tawdry valley]

Idk what I could say besides the usual deal. Look at old problems and learn question patterns

If it’s the day before and you’ve done your prep, the best thing you could do is sleep early

[violet path]

I really dont wanna have to go to school in florida so national merit would be huge

[opaque sigil]

and if it's the day before and you haven't done your prep it's probably too late

[violet path]

Ive been prepping for a few weeks

Collegeboard only has 2 practice psats but ive done a few practice sats

[tawdry valley]

If you’re gonna review last minute, get a basic idea of every topic. Be able to answer at least the easiest questions

And then besides that, be sure to have a decent guessing strategy

[violet path]

Ya

[tawdry valley]

1/4 chance is only true if you guess at random

[opaque sigil]

more than I did and I did pretty well, you'll do fine and just try not to get psyched out by a fairly intimidating seeming affair

[violet path]

My worst questions are where its a reading question and theres 2 technically correct answers

[opaque sigil]

50/50

My brain freezes at picking which one is “more correct”

[tawdry valley]

@high hedge did I miss something or was chapter 2 like. 10 minutes.

[tawdry valley]

Sleep on time, wake up early

Revive your circadian rhythm i believe in you

[violet path]

All nighters aren't pleasant and are also useless

[violet path]

[tawdry valley]

Get out of here, dont you need to study for you scholarship

[olive bobcat]

But if I sleep then I ain't waking up

[violet path]

Ive done one in my life

At a sleepover

[violet path]

Nah its too late im just about to go bed but gotta listen to the new tyler the creator album

[tawdry valley]

They’re emergency buttons and if you’re smart you would never do one early in the week

If you’re smarter, you’d avoid them in the first place, but that’s why they’re emergency buttons

[violet path]

If i take a nap at like 6pm, wake up at 12, then dont go back to sleep does that count as an all nighter

[kindred pewter]

this sounds like a title of a song

[olive bobcat]

oh damn maybe that one was worth it

[kindred pewter]

It was solely because I procrastinated

Ambience is good tho

I hope they do some touch ups on the city of dis if they ever do a act 2 face lift

[quiet knot]

[carmine island]

No I gotta avoid getting a lobotomy with a hm harpoon

[fiery burrow]

those boxes in the backround ain't no city

Also they got to remaster the trees they're so ugly

Not in Heresy just across the entire game

[carmine island]

Fair

I always thought 5-3 looked awesome tho

[hollow shadow]

What's up anything except silksong discussion chat

[fiery burrow]

5-3 is definitely neat

I think the ocean effect in 5-2 could use a rework

the hands look wonky

okay but the cambrian SLAPS

if they can't accept that... idk

[ashen steeple]

ok but im just curious have we had any news in the past 3 years

its been 3 years since ive checked

If there were two guys on the moon and one killed the other with a rock, would that be fucked up or what?

[fiery burrow]

"Would you still love me if I was a Hallucigenia? 😭 "

[fiery burrow]

yeah

[warped rock]

i was born in the wrong generation

[ashen steeple]

oh nice

[fiery burrow]

Imagine low grav sword duels on the moon

[charred surge]

The fact that we were robbed of trilobites, which iirc was one of the most successful groups of animals in earth’s evolutionary history, is simply criminal

[ashen steeple]

i remember 7 years ago when they had a blog they would update every 5 months
i miss that

[fiery burrow]

Proof God is cruel

the unknowable everything is my only absolution

[fiery burrow]

andy at home

[quartz cave]

When you grow up make sure you're a clone of me

[marsh ibex]

mostly because I keep falling for women who do not like me

[quartz cave]

SOMEBODY has to create the army that will annoy the entire world into destruction i suppose

[marsh ibex]

I think I have a problem

[fiery burrow]

yeah if you fall on people they tend to not like that

Maybe knock it off

[marsh ibex]

shut up dorkus

[warped rock]

need to put more points into charisma, man

[charred surge]

No venting in general

[marsh ibex]

I’m very charismatic that is just outweighed by my disposition and sandpaper esque personality

[ionic arch]

oh there's a trick to that

[quartz cave]

Too much falling on your part, break their knees and see how theyll fall for you

[fiery burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/amongus-amongsdp-black-emergency-meeting-black-emergency-meeting-gif-18720662

[ionic arch]

the trick is:

fall for women who do like you

[wheat sail]

youll get it one day

[marsh ibex]

well when that happens I don’t believe it so I’m cooked

[ionic arch]

in fact, fucked up thought: get to know women first so you can get a sense whether or not they like you

[wheat sail]

just being friendly vs liking you isnt a huge difference on the outside

[silk zodiac]

that's crazy imagine doing that

[leaden delta]

i like girls

[charred surge]

[fiery burrow]

Also social interaction. Move to a house in the mountains

[kindred pewter]

it takes one to know one, cross-dress to have woman-senses and sense whether or not they like you

I should blacklist the

maybe if the hollow knight community was funny

[charred surge]

What the hell is your problem with definite articles

[fiery burrow]

and if #hk-general and #hk-meme didn't exist

[marsh ibex]

we should blacklist a new word every day and not tell users

idk what happened recently it reverted back to badtie moments

Fuck off star

if it's any consolation kirb this is the community I am the least hostile in

Netherlord added whimsy and humor to #hk-lore

You should've never unblocked him

Who is this so-called netherlord and what crimes did the specified individual commit

[marsh ibex]

I was like a zote you could talk to

[fiery burrow]

He was generally hostile to users for a looong time with no repercussions and only popped in to discuss how awesome the soul sanctum was

[ionic arch]

I do that as much as I can but I'm also chronically ill and trans in a world that hates me during an ongoing pandemic

chill isn't exactly in my constellation

granted I do enjoy being on the earth. wish I could do it with fewer nightmares and caveats and the uh. horrors of humanity

but I try to be a little chill! sometimes! like pretending or some shit!

[wheat sail]

he probably experiments on people too

[marsh ibex]

highlights of his lore career were saying that the soul sanctum were an uber powerful race of super bugs

[charred surge]

Tbf when I first played hollow knight and got to soul sanctum I thought it, especially its theme, was banging

[ionic arch]

it's better when I don't say real shit and just say FUCK

[marsh ibex]

“Actually the genocide they did was a good thing”

[ionic arch]

i can also draw a fucked up thing as penance

[marsh ibex]

“Why didn’t the soul sanctum just defeat all of PK’s forces”

[wheat sail]

they were the shit sanctum

[marsh ibex]

they’re a bunch of nerds who got swirlies in the communal toilets that’s why

[charred surge]

Um

Have you tried yoga

Oh

[fiery burrow]

no actually! not this time!

[carmine island]

What’s the best class?

[marsh ibex]

If I met my doppelgänger I’d explode and have them forcibly take my place

[ionic arch]

friend of a friend who did not pass my vibe check

and I was right

[marsh ibex]

if I had a shitty ex my lore would get 15 times better

[olive bobcat]

Me imagining how me and my clone would get along great (we would turn on each other instantly):

[ionic arch]

can confirm, I have decent lore and I have shitty exes

oh my god I'm ramona

[flat remnant]

alright you were just born and i've been looking for a way out a lot longer than you have, take my life i'm OUTTT

[ionic arch]

I feel like we'd just talk for a while

be curious about each other

maybe uh. get annoyed by each other

[charred surge]

If I met my clone we would plan many nefarious and chicanerous schemes together (and inevitably fail every time we try to execute said schemes)

[marsh ibex]

if I got sent back to the past and met my younger self I’d beat them to a . Pulp

[ionic arch]

I can't tell if I'd be like "oh my god actually I'm hot" or have like a crisis for a month

[smoky nebula]

if/when i meet the younger version of myself who's only been through mild bullying at the worst i'd give them a laundry list of things to avoid and hope time travel shenanigans work out in my favor

that or i just created a black hole caused by the selves interacting either option i'd be fine with

[warped rock]

the most relatable thing i've read in a hot second

What are you planning

[marsh ibex]

bro does not know the method

[charred surge]

What, y’all secretly have a time travel method?? And you’re excluding me???

[marsh ibex]

the more people know the method the more useless the method becomes

time is like a rubber band
scrumptious but prone to snapping back and hurting you

[smoky nebula]

Hey, if you end up going back in time, can you tell my past self something‽
She's a bit of a dumbass

[charred surge]

Then clearly y’all gotta find someone to replace with me

[leaden delta]

when i meet my younger self im giving her estrogen

[tawdry valley]

That’s cool and all but I’m giving 12 year me godlike stock options for as many years as I can and then I’m calling them a badass

[ionic arch]

yeah same

[leaden delta]

and she'll understand the assignment instantly

[smoky nebula]

Oh yeah that's a better idea

[ionic arch]

||honestly I'm probably intersex because when puberty pt. 1 struck... it wasn't sure what to do with me either||

[remote ibex]

How young cause I think she might die

[smoky nebula]

I was just going to tell my past self to not question why my friends like me, and save me a whole lot of heartbreak
But shoving some estrogen at her seems like a good idea

[flat remnant]

counterpoint when the first stock is purchased you'll be altering the timeline and all other options will be drastically affected

[leaden delta]

nah

im the fucking best actually my ass would not die

[ionic arch]

nah

[smoky nebula]

How's your back

[remote ibex]

Wtf injecting 1 month old baby with 10 litres of girl serum

[leaden delta]

oh yea u were there for the back pain arc

[ionic arch]

don't be ridiculous!

we'd use the patch

[remote ibex]

Wtf giving 1 month old baby a shit ton of girl serum

[flat remnant]

honestly what scares me about this scenario is the possibility that i am currently living the best timeline somehow and messing with the past would screw it up more

[ionic arch]

honestly same, I don't fuck with that shit

[smoky nebula]

Wait did you stop having back pain‽

[leaden delta]

. no

[ionic arch]

||even if I totally would have chosen estrogen instead of "mixed bag for you to puzzle out later"||

cool people have back pain

(ow)

[marsh ibex]

for time travel I’d probably tell the shithead like, five things

[ionic arch]

but I had that looooooong before

[marsh ibex]

Depending on when it happened it’d go to three things

[marsh ibex]

the two that disappeared would be stock stiff

I think we’re all thinking too limited; y’all are talking about trying to improve your younger selves’ lives or whatever but one could very easily recruit yourself from various points in time and commit various forms of fraud and con-artistry. Untapped hustling potential.

[marsh ibex]

why would I care about that if I have time travel

[smoky nebula]

Best case thing is give 12 year old me puberty blockers
No boy puberty

[marsh ibex]

you know how much stuff I could watch

Or eat?

the amount of cardboard in my system would be incredible

[charred surge]

I mean yeah, what do you think the Time-Travel-Clone-Fraud-Army is gonna help in? With all the money and impersonation, think of all the luxury you could afford yourself smh

[ionic arch]

I would tell my ass to get on adderall instead of waiting for a suicidal nightmare crisis in uni for things to get sorted

[flat remnant]

there's this webcomic about a guy who through shenanigans ends up living with 3 different time-displaced versions of himself

no con-artistry but it does play around with the concept in creative ways

[ionic arch]

fun

[smoky nebula]

I am not trying to get whatever timeline controling authority there is on my back

[charred surge]

Just don’t get caught

[ionic arch]

I really do think I'd screw up if I went back

I think I needed to happen this way for all the heartache

I am so loved now even in a cruel world

so allowed to be me at least in the small sliver of the world I'm able to occupy

that's still no small miracle

[smoky nebula]

The hands of time‽
The sons of time‽
Idk

[smoky nebula]

You overestimate my mental capacity
I am a dumbass

[leaden delta]

yall have no faith in urselves

[flat remnant]

if i saw 2 year old me i'd probably break down crying for multiple reasons but that's a rumination for another time

https://tenor.com/view/rat-eats-mm-rat-aardman-gif-25764900

[ionic arch]

that's not true!

[leaden delta]

me personally id do what id gotta do

[ionic arch]

I have a little! maybe!

[leaden delta]

no issues

[smoky nebula]

We can't all be blessed with the self esteem you do
We've all got our chains holding us down
You've got your back, I've got my self loathing

[flat remnant]

imagine your younger self asks if things are going to turn out well and you just look at em like this

[marsh ibex]

I think I’d do well

[marsh ibex]

Nah that’s when you hit them with the sensei wu

“That is up to you.”

[flat remnant]

tru tru

[ionic arch]

I feel like high school me would be like kinda shocked and thrilled to see me

honestly that would warm my heart

but I think high school me would be a little shit about it

[marsh ibex]

Every incarnation of me would be like

“How badly did we fuck it up!”

[warped rock]

i think my past self would be disgusted but my past self isn't a good person

[marsh ibex]

At every point in my life including elementary school

[ionic arch]

maybe you would kickstart your past self. if you're here you were always capable

[remote ibex]

How so

[marsh ibex]

honestly the thing I’d tell my past self is that I can give myself a break, it’s not my fault.

And then I’d slap that bitch in the face

[smoky nebula]

What did you do

[marsh ibex]

Nothing really

[flat remnant]

truthfully up until a year ago i always imagined it would go over pretty well to some degree

[marsh ibex]

It was only three orphanages

[flat remnant]

who's going to mourn those kids, their parents?

[smoky nebula]

Only 3‽
Rookie numbers

[warped rock]

i only came to the conclusions i did through extraneous means. i never used to take advice up until like 2 years ago

[flat remnant]

shit i'd tell my past self would be things like "avoid scooters" and "don't make social media acounts under any circumstances"

[ionic arch]

think I was based as fuck but be like "no predetermination makes me who I am, I'll do whatever I want!"

and I'll be like nooooooooo you should absolutely have pills for ADD and estradiol stat, all of your crushes are lesbians or way too straight for you and there's a REASON FOR THAT

actually idk how I'd take it tbh

I feel like past me would be like "what do you mean I'm already so queer"

[marsh ibex]

I’d also tell them about the incident I think

[smoky nebula]

I mean you wouldn't be here if you stayed off social media

[flat remnant]

the social media experience i've had could've been worse but i do legitimately think i and a lot of people would've been better off away from that rabbit hole

but that's just me

[leaden delta]

I honestly don’t know what my old self would think

she’d get it tho I think

I trust myself enough

[smoky nebula]

Yeah but this is you before your character development

[flat remnant]

on the other end of the time spectrum what would y'all ask your future selves

[leaden delta]

I’d simply ask how much fun she’s having

[smoky nebula]

Honestly same
No spoilers

[warped rock]

there isn't any spoilers, nothing ever happens to me

[flat remnant]

is this on the "if you know what will happen it won't happen" thing

[smoky nebula]

No I literally just want it to be a surprise what happens in life
Like there are things I desperately want to know, but not knowing is half the fun

[flat remnant]

i'd probably ask about regrets but knowing my personality i'll have regrets no matter what i do
