Just your standard tumblr blog manifesto

Hi! Whether you’re new to my dumb corner of Tumblr or a longer-term follower who just hasn’t particularly noticed (or cared) how I’m doing my thing here, I thought I should sum up my basic principles for this blog in a (somewhat?) useful fashion.  1) I try to always post spoiler tags for EVERY piece of official Danganronpa fiction before discussing any spoilery info OR sharing spoilery artwork. Why? Because it only takes a second to tag posts for people, and you never know who is new to the fandom/hasn’t gotten around to everything yet/is trying to still remain pure on certain subjects. For your spoiler-blocking needs, the tags for each are as follows:

2) I reblog (and occasionally even do original posts of) A LOOOOT of fan art here, but I make it a point to only share things either posted by the original artist OR which are shared with the permission of the artist. I had it impressed upon me earlier in my Tumblr career that some artists legitimately don’t want their stuff shared on other sites without permission, and I try to always respect that. (And yes, I realize that just saying “permission obtained from the artist” or something is HARDLY a foolproof system. We’re on the honor system here; we can only assume such disclaimers are honest.) If you catch me sharing art that is copied or posted by someone other than the artist without any expressed permission, please let me know — I’ll take it down! 

3) I’ll almost always respond to asks submitted to me, but I’m sorry if it takes a while. I’m typically WAAAAY behind on such things. Sometimes it takes me a few days or even, rarely, weeks. Sometimes I just don’t know what to say at first. But sometimes I’ll respond ASAP because the ask is easy to answer or just ignites a bunch of thoughts within me. Or on rare occasions I’ll, uh, never answer because I couldn’t think of anything to really say (sorry?) or because the ask is basically just a troll. 

4) I sometimes post asks/commentary that are very critical of certain characters as people (as in, not criticizing them as fictional characters or how they were written; criticizing their behavior as good/bad people). If you don’t like seeing your faves harshed on, I tag those criticism/negativity-centric posts for easy blocking, too! So feel free to block tags like #anti-kokichi ouma or #anti-hiyoko saionji or whomever. (But let’s be honest; Those are the two most common ones.) 

5) This Tumblr originated as a Naegiri-focused one, actually. That’s not something that comes up too terribly often these days, but.. you can definitely still expect me to heap extra attention on any Naegiri-centric content I come across (or, in rare instances, create myself). :) So... that’s just a heads-up.  6) If you came across this user handle elsewhere and are wondering if this blog is run by the same person, I can only confirm that the Hopey McHope on AO3 and the HopeyMcHope on FF.net are, in fact, me. Anyone else you see by this name might be the same person as me, or it might not. I guess you should just ask me here.

7) If I blocked you... I probably assumed you’re a bot. If you don’t have ANY posts or ANY reblogs or ANY profile pic or ANY heading wallpaper? I have to assume you’re a bot; it’s a problem around here. If you’re not a bot, please do something, anything to make your account look like a real person’s. Say two words on your blog, change your blog title to be ANYTHING else, give yourself a profile pic or even a header image that ISN’T the default... just, anything. 

Known rapist, sex trafficker, and self-proclaimed "alpha" Andrew Tate announes that men having sex with women is now "gay."

The only REAL men are those with tons of children. (And per his previous statements, it's also imperative that these REAL men don't financially or emotionally support any of these children.)

This level of being up one's own ass is so far beyond parody that it's one of the funniest fucking things I've seen in years.

Bitch, your so-called "genetic legacy" is gonna be disowning and denying any relation to you for centuries to come. Your primary "legacy" will be the standing pool of urine atop your grave.

That seems like a smart, low-risk way to help counter the breakable weapons. I suppose Totk came up with its own solution by making durability last longer via fusion and giving just REAMS of stuff we can fuse, but... I like your solution better, frankly.

Not only do I want to sell them my old weapons, I want to be able to BUY higher-end weapons instead of having to go hunting for them, too!

Honestly, I think the English VAs do a pretty excellent job almost across the board. There really is something endearing about the voices of Junpei, Yosuke, and Ryuji... and they're not the only ones, either. Though I guess I'd put Junpei at the bottom of that pile just because he's so antagonistic towards our player character during the early game that of course I needed more time to warm up to him.

I'd probably even say the same thing about the warmth I feel/hear in the voices of Michell Ruff's Yukari, Erin Fitzgerald's Chie, and Erika Halacher's Ann... but again, Yukari is probably the hardest of those to immediately feel cozy about.

I didn't play a ton of Innocent Sin, but I do remember Eikichi how sounded and acted perfectly ridiculous to match his character, so... not quite the same "warm and fuzzy feeling instilled" vibe, but still a very *appropriate* vibe. :P

Kotaku lists Danganronpa 3 as one of the "17 Best Video Game Movies and Shows"

I've made no secret of my deep love/appreciation for Danganronpa 3, and now Kotaku's staff has come out and listed it as one of their best adaptions of a video game to hit screens.

And I love to see that! ......... Though I do not love its writeup, sadly.

The author of its particular entry, Kenneth Shepard, says:

And THAT much is great!

.................but then he goes on to drop disses on the DR Wiki (linking to major spoilers without any warning while declaring the Fandom Wikia's purported info about the DR3 mastermind to be "factually incorrect" — a claim that's not without basis but is also very debatable), the English dub (I'd trade MULTIPLE body parts to see Internet weebs stop bitching about dubs in ways that reveal how little they comprehend what goes into them), and even declares that the show makes Ultra Despair Girls retroactively pointless/meaningless (WTF are you even fucking talking about), so uh... this is sort of a "YAY, someone else has publically appreciated the value/importance of DR3!" post combined with me saying "If you legitimately like it that much, maybe stop talking before you add a bunch of weird negative caveats."
