Hey. I'm Ryan (35 yo) and this is just a personal blog of mine. On here, I'll make posts concerning Sonic the Hedgehog, my website or other random stuff I feel like posting or reblogging.
RPG MUSOU
So far, we’ve had The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Fire Emblem get the Dynasty Warriors treatment. Which role-playing series should be next?
I remember reading about this guy when I was researching about the early weeb fandom in the US. Like the article says he was one of the main organizers in the 1980s NYC anime fandom and iirc AMVs were directly inspired by the legendary Daicon III opening animation and Kaposztas’ desire to make similar music video style anime-mashup shorts but obviously didn’t have access to an animation team so he did the next best thing and used his video editing skills (I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an early fansubber)
I discussed this on the Twitter as well - in the early 2000′s AMV’s were the peak of ‘intense’ fandom in Anime, they were the highlight event of cons, people learned about shows from them, memes were born from them, etc. Its niche but Kaposztas is an innovator who played a role in building a slice of culture, its a real achievement.
Also love that the Kotaku article just puts the Evangelion/Tribute Mash-up AMV in at the end just because why not, that video dominates, definitely watch it.
i personally feel shipping is best left up to fans. I don't mind shipteasing here and there, but I wouldn't want to see Sonic actually dating and being in a romantic relationship with someone in canon, or getting married.
happy earth day. don’t forget that someone else’s outdoor cat is your indoor cat
A few years ago I picked up a cat at an apartment across town because tenants said the owner had threatened to shoot her. They’d been feeding this cat for five or six months. She’d just shown up one day, friendly as can be, and never left. I asked if anybody had tried finding an owner - they said no, but that she did have a collar on when she first showed up. They just assumed she was some outdoor cat or abandoned. The first thing I did the next morning was take her to the shelter to scan for a microchip, which she had. Her owner was so happy when we contacted her. Her cat had escaped while moving and she’d looked for her for months before resigning herself to the reality that her cat was probably dead. If those tenants had seen a friendly cat show up and immediately taken her to the shelter, it would have saved this person months of heartache, and this poor cat months of fear, ear mites, ticks, and fleas.
This is why I hate outdoor cats. Yes, they cause environmental damage. Yes, they’re going to be killed by cars or coyotes or assholes. But on a completely selfish level, I know that because of people’s normalization of outdoor cats if my indoor, microchipped cats ever got out there’s a good chance I’d never see them again. People see a loose dog running around and they assume it’s lost. They try to catch it or call the dog warden. People see a cat running around and they ignore it. Maybe they feed it for months and never even think that that cat might have someone out there worried sick.
So yeah, if I see an outdoor cat I will catch it and make sure it’s not chipped, and, in accordance to my local laws (make sure you check yours), I will feed that cat for three days, making it my (soon to be indoor) cat.
went to a bar with some coworkers on Friday- ran into one of them today as he was playing cards with a coworker who didn’t go to the bar.
he says “are you feeling better? we kept each other up pretty late this weekend,” which, out of context?? bro. you CANNOT say that bro. bro. bro. bro. bro. bro.
