Feb. 22nd, 2026 03:46 amshamanicshayminThank god I only engage in Deltarune fandom through close friends and a few specific servers, ‘cause dude. The current Deltarune Twitter drama is fucking insane.
Basically, the fandom is having a meltdown because a popular Spamtenna artist admitted she never played the game (not even watched an LP) and half the fandom is either calling for her cancellation or rabidly defending her. On top of that, there’s people bitching about fans being into Spamtenna and the popular characters (ex. Spamton, the Mikes) One guy was even like “Why aren’t you into the MCs instead of the stupid male joke characters!?” then proceeds to demonize Kerdly. Like what do you want, man? People will claim Spamtenna fans are misogynistic fangirls who only care about yaoi slop while completely ignoring that Spamtenna yuri is a subgenre of its own, and it’s basically yaoi vs. yuri wars all over again. Also, Spamton ties deeper into the plot than you realize? Like, are you even paying attention to the game? Now with the revelation that it’s likely they didn’t even play it and are just going off of fanon and tumblr posts, it explains so much where all this wank comes from.
"spamtenna is about to become the first canon ship that is so slandered and misrepresented in fanon that it collectively gets perceived as a crackship without any evidence in the source material. i hate it here"
Geez, calm down, man.
Basically, if anyone tries to police you over what characters and ships you like in Deltarune, you have even more incentive to tell them to fuck off. If they don’t even engage with the original canon, why should their word be held to any sort of authority? brb fangirling Spamton and my ships with him even more out of sheer spite

Feb. 21st, 2026 12:19 amkallowayOn Wednesday, my father pulled up a flyer on Facebook for a nerd-show next weekend and incredibly nearby. Even though I have a fairly strict no-winter-shows rule because, uh, weather, this is close enough and cheap enough that I figured if I get a table and nothing comes of it, I at least got to hang out with other nerds for a few hours. Anyway, got a table, lol, and will spend some of this weekend/coming week sorting out some stuff to take. This looks like it might become ~monthly and if it takes off and I can maintain a table, it'll really help the clear-out. (The only other table I have booked this year is Semmex and that's not a personal table. I also don't want to spend every weekend this year trying to sell my stuff but I really do need to do the cleanout. Blrgh. Blrrrrgh.)
Finished up the KO GM and it's... okay. Some parts sucked to build but overall it's fine. I was thinking he needed a friend and was looking up other GMs and then suddenly remembered maybe I had one in the back of a cabinet? Sure enough... It is a very old HGUC kit and the nubs have yellowed like I've seen on a lot of old Gundam Wing kits. Since this GM has probably been in the back of the cabinet since being built, I can only assume it's age + plastic quality. Anyway, the GMs can be slightly messy friends, lol.
Going to work on the Destiny Astray today and maybe get the body done this weekend? I'm hopeful. IDK what my next kit will be but it will be Bandai so it at least will go together without extensive modification and/or pain.

Feb. 21st, 2026 12:12 pmmuscle_wizardLife has been busy orz. I got sick and then I got hit with a migraine. I'm doing better now but it's looking like we're going to get another foot of snow (or more) Sunday into Monday. Godddddddddd, I'm over it. Work has been crazy due to logistical reasons outside our control - the glamour of being a contractor lol.
Nice Things: spent Valentine's day driving up to Kam Nam and H Mart in MA, bought a lot of wonderful groceries and ate good food with my wife and our friend (I affectionately refer to us hanging out as our throuple time lol.)
I took the time to learn how to navigate the PostCrossing forums and joined some tags and round robins, already mailed some stuff out. Sending and receiving mail has become my happy place as of late c:
I have read SO MUCH Heated Rivalry fanfiction. The mistaken identity Jane(+/)Lily fics have been especially delightful <3_<3
Otherwise I finished working on my Stuff I Love: Top Ten Edition Challenge 2. Here it is in all its fashionably late glory /o/
Top Ten Series: Mixed Media Edition
1. The Golden Girls (Television)
--> "Jean thinks she's in love with Rose."
2. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Television)
--> Season 5 Episode 17 Cold Open
3. Fire Emblem (Video Game)
--> FE7 Recruitment Theme: Together We Ride
--> Together We Ride: SSBB Version
4. Shin Megami Tensei (Video Game)
--> SMT Nocturne Title Loop
--> SMTIV Main Theme
--> SMTV Vengeance Hallucination
5. Silent Hill (Video Game)
--> Silent Hill 2 Theme of Laura
--> Silent Hill 2 Theme of Laura II
6. Yu Yu Hakusho (Anime)
--> Yusuke: What the - That guy's got horns! That's not normal. Oh well. Not gonna ruin my day.
7. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (Anime+Manga)
--> Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
--> Part 7: Steel Ball Run
--> Part 2: Battle Tendency
8. Saiyuki by Kazuya Minekura (Manga)
--> Gojyo: "[.....] if letting him die is the kind thing to do... then I... must be one selfish bastard."
9. Antique Bakery by Fumi Yoshinaga (Manga)
--> Mechademia 2: Networks of Desire: In an interview, she said that "I want to show the people who didn't win, whose dreams didn't come true. It is not possible for everybody to get first prize. I want my readers to understand the happiness that people can get from trying hard, going through the process, and getting frustrated."
10. Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle (Book)
--> A Wind In The Door: Proginoskes probed gently and thoughtfully into her mind. "I don't understand your feelings. I'm trying to, but I don't. It must be extremely unpleasant to have feelings."

Feb. 21st, 2026 09:56 amshamanicshayminI finished gathering all my threesentenceficathon fills and compiled them here! Despite my burnout, this has been my most productive ficathon yet... 36 total fills! I even maxed out the 75 tag limit, whoops. XD Notable fandoms include LISA and Deltarune, and me crying about Moon: Remix RPG Adventure. Nanquest popped up a fair bit at the final stretch too. It's also my 100th upload to AO3! Figured that'd be worth celebrating. :D
Three chapters into the Wuthering Heights audiobook. Wish me luck!
