Reading the notes section of Marvel fanfiction on ao3 from before no way home is like watching a car crash in slow motion unable to stop it.

snapscube answered:
Audio Technica and Sony are usually my go-to brands when it comes to headphones. Audio Technica has great studio options on a budget that sound great and have relatively flat EQ so you can assume what you’re hearing is closer to intention, and Sony has some wonderful options for casual listening and comfort in many price ranges.
Microphones are a case where you REAALLYYYY do not want to go out and drop 400 bucks on a Shure SM7B or something similar if you’re just starting out. The thing about mics is that an audience’s perception of mic quality actually has a LOT more to do with post-processing and, MOST importantly, the acoustic space you are recording in as opposed to How Expensive it is. Generally if you’re new to sound equipment, you’re gonna get better results with a cheaper microphone in a better acoustic space that you’ve invested the REST of your budget into, rather than dropping everything on industry standard heavy hitters. My starting recommendation would honestly be something like the Elgato Wave:3. You get a great sounding condenser microphone AND all of the benefit of Elgato’s dedicated Wave Link software (that lets you split your PC audio into separate channels for better control over your stream audio) for around $150 iirc.
LISTEN UP AGAIN KIDS

“The prince just fell in love with Cinderella because of her looks!”
Wrong. Okay, picture this–
So there’s the prince, okay? He’s like, smack dab in the center of the ballroom, and he is like, horrifically aware that this whole ball thing is a result of his dad falling into a panic about the royal lineage or whatever and he’s stuck listening to highborn girl after highborn girl, all lined up, introducing themselves like, “Oh yeah my family’s been a longtime supporter of the crown, and I think you’re cute, *cough* I’ve been told I have child-bearing hips *cough* Who said that? Anyway–” and Princey boy is just smiling through it, he has been the center of attention for entirely too long, he misses his emotional support horse, and is just internally like “Someone please kill me now.” And then… he sees her–This isn’t a love at first sight thing, this is a ‘what the hell is going on over there’ thing, because this girl has not gotten into the Debutante line for a solid 45 minutes.
She’s just at the hors d’oeuvres table going HAM on the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, and like, she’s polite about it, she’s happy to move aside for other people grabbing punch and canapes (and she’s really so sweet with the wait staff, it’s kind of cute because they’re like… definitely not used to being acknowledged) but it’s like, “Damn girl, did you not eat today?” and then the prince is kind of stuck with the uncomfortable thought of ‘how many girls starved themselves to fit into a corset for this.’ And then the Prince realizes he’s missed the past 4 Debutante introductions because he’s watching Mystery girl hork down crab rangoons. So he’s like, “Excuse me” and manages to break free from the never-ending parade of girls who will hop on his dick for status.
And as he’s approaching Mystery Girl, it’s kind of hitting him that something’s not quite natural about her. Not fake, but not quite real. But at the same time this whole evening’s been just a whole circus of people acting fake as hell, so like, someone seeming a little off doesn’t seem bad, necessarily. And he sidles up to her like, “Hi,” and she’s like, “Oh–hey, have you tried the tapenade?” and she points to one of the plates, and at this point, he could hit her with the “You don’t know who I am, do you?” deal or the “Very funny, I see your play” deal, but at this point it occurs to him that, no, he hasn’t had anything to eat throughout this whole damn ball, partially because of being stuck in the debutante parade, partially because of nerves, and there’s something so disarming about the question that he grabs a crostini and she still seems so food-focused that it doesn’t seem possible that this is a play. So they both grab little plates and ditch the party.
She pretty much clears her plate in under two minutes and then has half of his plate, he’s cool with it, mostly he’s just absolutely fascinated listening to her.
See here’s the thing about Cinderella:
1. She doesn’t know he’s the prince. Like yeah, he’s been at the center of the room, but she’s kind of spent half the party eagerly looking around everywhere she’s allowed to go (”Have you seen rose garden? Have you seen the solarium??” further confirmation that she doesn’t know who she’s talking to) and the other half stuffing her face with food.
2. She assumes she’s never going to see anyone here tonight again, and no one recognizes her, so she has no filter.
So she’s just talking about whatever with this guy. He seems cool. She talks about her friends, who are rats. She makes little outfits for them. Sometimes they bring her little gifts. She is already the coolest person the prince has ever met because of this. She pretty much offhandedly talks about whatever is fucked up about the kingdom that would take his advisors two hours of hemming and hawing and watering down to address. She just says it like it’s nothing, just funky little things she’s observed, and again, she’s not aware that he’s the prince, but it’s still pretty damn bold to bring up at a literal royal ball.
She… seems to have the majority of graces that lots of girls from Respectable Families™ have, but there’s something strange about it, something simultaneously broken and hardened, like the way you can see where ice has thawed and re-frozen. Also the way she talks about her family, and the way she avoids talking about her family– is raising several red flags, not in the “Oh this is another person trying to take advantage of me” sense, but in the “Oh fuck, something’s gone really wrong and you need help” sense and also lowkey a ‘damn is she even getting fed?’ sense. But he can’t say, ‘Hey, that’s not fucking normal for people to say that to you or treat you that way. We need to get you out of there,’ without sounding crazy himself, so for now, he’s just going to chill, make sure she’s comfortable, and keep enjoying the evening. She’s somehow befriended like 4 of the waitstaff so they’re willing to cover for them while they disappear for a little bit, and they get plenty of time to talk, but eventually it hits her that she hasn’t danced yet and she’s like “Come on! I bet we can make the prince jealous!” and he just bursts out laughing at that like “hell yeah, let’s make the prince jealous. He’s a real asshole.” Like clearly she’s having a good time, so who is he to make it weird? So they head back to the ballroom and they dance. And our girl, Mystery Girl, Cinderella, while they’re dancing, becomes acutely aware that everyone is staring. That doesn’t seem quite right. Like, yeah she’s hot, she knows she’s hot, but at least a good third of the party should still be focused on the prince, right? Where is that guy, anyway?
Oh.
Oh wait.
Oh shit.
And Princey Boy actually picks up on her realization and they whisper argue for like 3 minutes. “Why didn’t you tell me?! Now I feel like a goddamn idiot!” “I dunno it was nice being treated like a normal person” “Well me treating you like a normal person makes me a goddamn felon or something did you consider that?!” “Hey–Hey–it’s cool–you’re cool–I think you’re amazing, and if anyone says shit about you, I can shut it down.” “Well I don’t like that! That’s fucked up!” “I agree. It is fucked up, but I believe in you, and I think you should have a chance, and I’m here to back you up. I know power is fucked up right now. I know. But are you cool with working with me to change that?” And our girl Cindy pauses on that for a couple seconds, because.. she’s just spent hours with this guy and like.. she knows he’s a good guy, she knows he means well, so she’s like, “I don’t know how long I can actually work with you.” and the prince is like “Look, I know your home situation is complicated right now, but I really think we can–”
And then the bell starts ringing.
It’s midnight.
And then she takes off in a panic, and our prince just met the coolest person ever, and like, he’s pretty sure whatever situation they’re headed back to is fucked up, and all he’s got going to find her is a shoe. A shoe.
always reblog Cinderella’s prince
When Utonium first creates the girls, he immediately panics about how to take care of them and drives to the store to get supplies and, literally, the First thing he says when he gets back is “good parents don’t leave their children home alone.”
Like Utonium went from Scientist to Dad faster than the explosion that created his superpowered daughters.
So… you’re telling The PowerPuff girls is basically just a Frankenstein AU wherein he takes some goddamn responsibility for his creation for once?
That is a powerful take right there
Theres a reason he is Professor Utonium and the other is Mr. Frankenstein
Senpai says you’re welcome
Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.
Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.
You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?
3 - My current icon is the final boss and main antagonist of a DnD campaign that I’ll never run.
8/10
I’m shorter than Ruby is so I’d appreciate the extra height. Dog ears might take some getting use to.
Well, as a Faunus, you would also get night vision.
Hm… I’m a loving mom that is canonically dead… 7/10
Always a beautiful memory of you, and you’re a legend, so there’s the plus.
9/10 The powers of a fully grown dragon and a metal shell I can sleep in whenever? Fantastic!
Having to duck under door frames and suck in the gut for small spaces? An inconvenience but manageable I suppose
Plus, you’d leave a sticky trail wherever you go.
Cool robot with an iconic tune
Nice
Like Spark Mandrill or Storm Eagle?
Protoman from the original mega man games
It’s why my name is blues
Ah
I am the edgy wine batman and all the women want me (8)

1/10. I am in a body of a schizophrenic guilt-ridden cybernetic supersoldier. But hey, at least my legs are OK.
But are they your legs, or a machine’s?
MKIII Cyberlegs, brotha. God’s last gift to himanity.
Use them well
Decently enough. Ill probably slip up from time to time but im fairly in line with her when im around other people. For a bit at least. Then im just unhinged
Wait, would your mind split between two bodies?
9/10
I’m shorter now, and praying for that my icon isn’t screeching in my body.
One can only hope
“This is fine”
That’s not physically or mentally possible
it is-
My parents would be like: She probably didn’t take her adhd pills or she’s singing.
Maybe screeching louder will do the trick?
My icon: hey betcha I can hit this note
Me: Nono- please don’t-
My icon: ah ah ah ah- AHHHHHHHHHHH!
A high F?
20/10. I am Superman…What more could you want?
To belong?
………..You’re enjoying roasting everyone’s choices…….Aren’t you?……………………………
Still like your content.
I’m not roasting anything. I’m giving my opinion on the matter.
And thank you
1/10 I’m going to need to relearn how to speak
I will give five video games one sentence out of context descriptions. Some will be harder then others. Do your best to guess what is what
I... can only figure out one.
I think I know a few
1. Overlord? Brutal Legend? Or Mount and Blade?
2. I have no idea
3. Persona? (I've never played it but I'm assuming)
4. God of War 2?
5. Doki Doki Literature Club?
3 is in the same series as Persona.
Is 3. Shin Megami Tensei?
