"Open Up Your Eyes, See The World From Where I Stand

"Open up your eyes, see the world from where I stand

Me among the mighty; you caged at my command

Open up your eyes, give up your sweet fantasy land

It's time to grow up and get wise..."

No, I'm not dead (I'll outlive every one of you whippersnappers), I'm just... not here. Due to a horrible combination of personal shit, I haven't drawn anything in months, but I was determined to produce SOMETHING for Inktober. I painted this with india ink and JESYS CHRIST, NEVER AGAIN.

The fact that IntSys had all the plot points necessary to make Gunther an amazing villain in Rev and chose not to is proof to me that they're simply incapable of decent writing. Their villains are shit, so there's no hope of a decent narrative from them (here's hoping 3H has decent gameplay, at least...)

“Do you like that show?”

“I certainly enjoy the self indulgent version of it I wrote in my head after it began to disappoint me.”

I mean, Corrin is literally the child of their god? The one who founded Valla and created the royal family in the first place? Rulers in the real world have been using "I'm a god" or "I was chosen by God" as an excuse to lord power over people for millenia. In a world where dragons are revered as gods, if the one person who's actually a dragon and thus literally a god says "I'm your king now" I don't think anyone would question them.

Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation post game

I found these tags on that post asking adults to list their age. This is one of many who seem to agree with OP’s sentiment.

I think kids on the internet these days–and by “kids” I mean anyone under 18 honestly–need to be re-taught about internet safety and keeping your personal life away from your internet life, for safety reasons. I’ve been noticing this a lot lately, but I’ve found that the younger generations just never learned about Internet safety and keeping your personal information… well, personal.

Listen. I am a 90s kid in my late 20s. Yes, I do list my age on my description, because I feel comfortable doing so. But lately, there’s been an alarming trend where you, the younger generations, expect us to cater to all of your needs and keep you safe. And more, even.

The internet is a big, scary place. People my age and older, and some a little younger, grew up with the internet. We grew up with the dial-up noise and “get off the internet so I can use the phone!” and being limited in the way we interacted with the internet because it was expensive and strange and modems were not a thing. We also grew up with massive internet safety campaigns and worried parents scared of the unknown. Scared of the predator on the other side of the screen. It was normal for parents to be worried and assume predator until proven otherwise. 

As such, everyone in my generation and older grew up with a massive internet safety awareness. Don’t give out your personal information, don’t tell them where you live, your name, your age, where you study or what. Say nothing. Share nothing. Most of us have created for ourselves internet personas, much in the way that I am Saku on the internet but someone else in real life.

Yes, the line has blurred somewhat, and over time people have lost the alarm and concern that the internet caused in them. But most of us still remember what it was like back then. Most of us remember the safety rules, remember the techniques and tactics to tell if someone was or wasn’t telling the truth, remember the golden rule about not sharing personal information on the internet.

Because the internet back then was a big, scary place. And the internet now? It still is a big, scary place. It’s just more…. normal. More a part of our everyday lives that we all just sort of take for granted. 

What you kids are missing now is that we, as the older generations on the internet, the generations that grew up with the internet, still remember what it was like back then. And we still abide by our internet safety rules.

You all may think that sharing your age on the internet is not a big deal, but it is. Whatever you post on the internet can be used against you, regardless of how “safe” you feel. And one way or another, we are not responsible for you or your internet experiences. We protected ourselves back then, we policed and monitored our own internet content and use, and so should you.

The internet is not yours, it’s all of ours. And we got here first, way before you were even born, in some cases. I’ve been on the internet since I was 9, and that’s well over a decade and a half ago. If anything, fandom spaces are made up primarily of adults. Who do you think writes the good content that you consume? Who do you think produces the best art and the best fics? Who do you think writes the well-written, hot, sexy smut you shouldn’t be reading at 3 in the morning?

When we got here, we all assumed that everyone was older than us on the internet. For some reason that’s changed, and now people assume that everyone’s younger, or their age. But we’re all still here. We’ve been here for the past 15, 20 years. Even longer.

There is nothing wrong with us. We don’t owe you anything. You make your own safety on the internet, and you are the one responsible for making sure you’re safe. That’s not on us, it’s on you. 

If you’re uncomfortable talking to an adult on the internet, then you’re more than welcome to unfollow, or block, or whatever. But it’s not our responsibility that you do so. If you want to know something, ask.

Most importantly, we’re not all predators. Don’t shame or fault us for existing on the Internet. We were here before you, and we enjoy things just as you do. They aren’t yours, you don’t own them any more than we do. And we have a right to be here too, without having to bend over backwards for you just for existing.

Moon was the worst game I ever spent my money on. Who the fuck plays pokemon to take a back seat to SOMEONE ELSE'S story? The only story pokemon needs to tell is of a 10 year old decimating everything that stands in the way of their path to glory- leave that other worlds, outer space hokum for the spinoffs.

real question why are people suddenly acting like pokemon is a dying franchise and lets go is the change gamefreak needs to revive it. it is literally the highest grossing media franchise currently on planet earth
