I am: name of Ivy, eminently poisonous; ‘toxic’ in the legal vernacular. Often dooming; always blooming. Some would call me thorny, but I think they just need to work a little harder for the nectar. Who are you? 🔍
Oh shit you have a nice lil themed intro and everything
Uh I’m just some dork with a few hyperspecific interests and a lot of atrocious contrarianesque takes. Trading in social ineptitude and depression, prone to using way too many fuckin words when a sentence will sufficr ✨
I’m somewhat deep into multichannel music (as well as audio gear in general) which is terrible, and I like building stupid computers a lot which is really normal, but the easy #1 for freak interests is whatever the hell this is, the weird queer novels
Weird contrarian treat takes
It’s usually video games that make me an angry reactionary for no reason, any given take I have on games will be insane. Symphony of the Night is bad and Assassin’s Creed was never good either! Conversely, I am weird and like almost every single Yes album, bar Open Your Eyes and Tormato. Tales from Topographic Oceans, Talk and Magnification are top three. Just really weird and unpleasant shit generally. Bonus!
I have now embarrassed myself sufficiently I spend most of my time ruining this webzone by badposting =)
Thank you for sharing with me. I had seen a couple of these through the grapevine, specifically the trans literature list. I read Nevada ages ago; it was probably the first instance of queer and explicitly trans people in media I had ever experienced, in fact. (this is probably a common thread among thirty-something trans folks in the US, I reckon)
It is not a freak thing at all to be into books, and in fact I’m giving you anti-freak points for it, you freak.
I disagree heavily with your sotn take, but I like all Castlevania- even the “bad” n64 & ps2 ones. I won’t ever decry anyone their taste in music, but I suppose you did warn me. We are presumably all adults here, and we can agree to disagree. I still love you, new friend-stranger. ❤️
Ohhhhhh hey, wow!!! Yours is supposed to be the standard issue experience for reading Nevada, yeah :) It was also the first time I read anything queer & trans, except I was 15 years old when I read it which was awesome. I don’t meet that many people who have read it!
Yeah well the dominant narrative is that Symphony good and everyone loves it, but it boggles my brain how Symphony screws up backtracking/exploration that both System Shock and Resident Evil handled with more grace years prior.
I will say you are spot on with the mist/wolf/bat stuff…I never liked any of that. It’s nothing like Metroid power-ups, which are relevant from the point you get them to the end in all kinds of fun and novel ways. The animal transformations are just pointless; you never use them after their road blocks, not really.
I had to be…gosh I was 22 when I read Nevada for the first time, in 2014. Those were my baby trans years. I’m so happy for younger people who get to figure themselves out much sooner than I did. Being a sorta-elder trans rules; I am entering my milf era as we speak. (can you be a milf without kids? is that just a cougar…whatever)😎
The modern Castlevanias would continue to feature pointless powers like this going forward, such as the box pushing in Circle and the touchscreen bs in Dawn, which bugs the hell out of me. Maybe Metroid is cool…
Nice! And yeah, I’m incredibly lucky and thankful, in ways things are getting better. (Also you can totally be a milf without kids )
Who are you tho?

What are your hyper specific interests? Tell me some of your contrarianesque takes, if you’d like.
Freak interests

Proggers… Thanks, you too…
