BONUS: put in the tags what industry you’re in (I work at a large chain coffee shop) and/or share a horror story from a recent customer interaction, and please reblog for a larger sample size!
the energy of danganronpa 2 is so funny because at least half of the cast just obviously isn’t paying attention. like you’re in the dining hall and you talk to gundham and he says some shit like ‘hmph… she’s got that wuthering heights pussy….’ and ibuki’s like ‘call that a kate bush!!’ and then you just. talk to chiaki to advance the plot
what is the lamest thing that ever genuinely scared you like either as a kid or adult. i got scared of those halloween cartoon scooby doo ass eye stickers ppl put on mirrors when i was 9 and screamed so hard i fainted
Sephora. Yes, like the makeup.
You see, when I was little, I had these neighbors- twin boys, three years older than me. I was like, 9 or so, when they introduced me to FF7 Advent Children.
Kadaj already freaked me the fuck out- excellent voice work, he sounded insane- but when it got to Cloud being stabbed by Sephiroth? I screamed and cried, really freaked out- as a lil kid who’d never seen realistically depicted blood would.
After that, I was TERRIFIED of Sephiroth. I think I saw one of those Sephiroth Sephora memes online? And for some reason I associated him with the place- didn’t even know Sephora was a makeup brand, thought it had something to do with Sephiroth.
So every time my mom would take me to the mall for a few years, I would get really anxious and hide behind her as we passed by Sephora.
Ironic that, over a decade later, I played FF7R- and fell in love with Sephiroth as a character. Guess I was just too little at the time to handle that kinda stuff, unlike the preteen boys that were my friends.
And that’s the story of why I had a severe phobia over a makeup brand.
I was cool with spiders and snakes and fire and stuff from a pretty young age. I thought the void of space and the depths of the ocean were fine. I was only a little bit scared of heights, much to my parents’ chagrin. There are three things I remember being super terrified of as a very young child.
One, emergency test broadcasts/tornado sirens. I don’t know if that counts as a lame thing to be afraid of, but the sound of the emergency test broadcast and the weather channel’s severe weather alert voice made my blood run cold and sent me fleeing the room to cower with my hands over my ears without fail.
Two, the ending of a CD-ROM game we had on the family computer where you had to go through a stone labyrinth to find dinosaur artifacts of some kind. There was a time limit, and at the end of the game, there was a scene of an asteroid falling on the world, obliterating everything. I don’t remember much about the game because as soon as I hit that fail state, I started crying out of sheer terror and refused to play again.
Three, and this is the really lame one, that one short set in the Toy Story universe with the nutcracker and the baby? The baby scared the shit out of me. I hated looking at it. I think it was Baby’s First Uncanny Valley, which is funny for someone reared at the turn of the century where there was so much bad CGI.
Okay, here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna see this post. And you’re gonna see my picture. After that, you’re gonna start reading this in my voice. Got that? Once you’ve read everything, you’re gonna reblog this post. Not like, reblog. And when you reblog, you’re gonna tag this post with “good post OP”. No more, no less. Once that’s done, I’m going to collect my notes and this whole mess will be done and over with. Now, I hope you remembered all that, because I’m not gonna repeat myself.
wikipedia vandalism is actually insane if it happens perfectly. at one point my brother edited a fictionalized version of himself into our town’s history, just as a random side character, and then some local historical societies lifted it without citing the source as wikipedia, and then wikipedia cited them, so now it’s true
this all goes to say “cite your sources because if even one link in a chain doesn’t cite, it can become an ouroboros”
This all reminds me of when a totally made up bow named Ichaival (a mistranslation of Yewfelle, the home of a Norse god Ullr) wielded by Odin was put in Wikipedia’s list of mythological objects for 2 years because of a mistranslation in Fire Emblem 4.
However, apparently that removal was seen as a mistake so it stayed up for another 3 years before someone realized Ichaival just didn’t exist prior to this game’s existence.
The funniest part though is that this led to several other pieces of media putting Ichaival in as some sort of artifact, such as Smite and Symphogear.
