I would make the best Apperture Science test subject because I have, like, a monkey brain that makes it so when I see a puzzle I physically cannot help but try and solve it. A little while ago, I was playing a game with a puzzle where you had to move a bunch of boxes around so you could reach a door on the other side of the room, and I didn't even notice the door for the longest time I just saw boxes I could move around in a confined space and went "oooo box puzzle weeeeeeeee" and started pushing things around without having any idea of what the end goal was supposed to be. Like, I wouldn't even need the incentive of "cake" I would be content with my reward being more puzzles for all eternity.

I just love starting off a new video game by wandering around a small, open, flat area for thirty minutes because I received the first fetch quest and immediately forgot what the character asked for. Just... in one ear, out the other. And it took me way too long to find where the quest log was, despite it literally being on the first page of the pause menu. And also despite almost immediately receiving a tutorial for collecting the resource I needed because it's right there when you first enter the area. Nope, I just... ran around... for thirty minutes...

Off to a great start! :)

!Undertale True Pacifist Ending Spoilers!

I can't believe Undertale is turning ten years old this summer. I cannot stress how much my life changed after experiencing this silly little game.

Little Me had been playing video games their whole life, but had only really thought of them as fun things to do on weekends. I mean, I knew they could have storylines and stuff, but I hadn't really considered they could be stories in the same way as books or movies.

Then I found Undertale in the form of a YouTube lets-play. And at first I was like; "haha, this game's cute and funny". But the person I was watching was doing True Pacifist, and so it quickly turned into so much more than that.

A game where there are monsters and you don't have to fight them? Where you are encouraged to make friends with them? As a Neurodivergent tween who would write Pokemon fanfictions about cities ruled by humans and Pokemon together, and attempt to befriend Endermen in Minecraft by wearing pumpkins and placing cool blocks for them to pick up, it felt like finding someone who finally got it.

I couldn't stop thinking about it. I loved all the characters. I laughed so hard, even at the jokes I didn't really get. I was so invested.

It was the first time I ever cried at a video game. Comforting Asriel at the end was the most emotions I'd ever felt over a piece of media that wasn't a Pixar movie. I remember thinking; "wow, I didn't know video games could be like this".

I grew up with my parents playing games like Dragon Age and Uncharted, which Little Me couldn't comprehend in the slightest. And even as I started to understand more complex stories, I still didn't really think the plots or characters were part of the appeal of games like that. I thought my parents just liked stabbing and shooting things.

Undertale changed my perspective on video games as a whole. They could be like movies. They could be like novels. They could be art.

It was the gateway drug that got me into indie games (and made gaming one of my primary hobbies). I loved the music so much it got me into listening to video game soundtracks outside of their games. The "despite everything, it's still you" line will stay with me for the rest of my life. It had some of the first LGBTQIA+ representation I'd ever seen in media. It helped me find friends. Omega Flowey is still one of the most terrifying boss designs ever. It taught me how to spell "spaghetti". In every game I've ever experienced since, there has been at least one thing I can't help but compare to something in this one.

And, of course, it taught me to always stay determined.

Undertale did so much for me. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for this game.

Sorry for the long, sappy post. I just really can't believe it's been ten years already. Wow.

I was in Minecraft, just started a new world. Spawned right next to a large structure like some kinda dungeon building. It was surrounded by iron fences and had tinted windows. I could see a ton of hostile mobs inside. I made plans to set up some kinda pit trap around the building so I could just break a wall and release them all into the trap to kill them. There was a new entity in the game, which was a large pink egg that would float and move around. You could capture the egg by surrounding it with blocks. It hatched into a Spritzee eventually. You could tame it with flowers and it had the effect of luring mobs with its scent.

Hello there! (intro post)

I'm The Secret Beetle. You can call me Beetle. My pronouns are They/Them, It/Its. I am Non-Binary. I am also Neurodivergent (Autism and possible ADHD).

This blog is mostly for fandom-related stuff and some other random things I like/find amusing. I'll repost memes and cool fanarts I find. Memes and other posts could contain swearing and other 18+ topics, but there will be no lewds here. I might also occasionally repost things that resonate with my personal values and viewpoints.

I'm a writer working on the first draft of my first (hopefully) novel. I have a separate blog more dedicated to writing. I also play piano and compose music as a side hobby. Most of my art is traditional, and I probably won't post it often, as I have convinced myself from a young age that I suck at it.

I was also the editor of the Mob Psycho 100 fanfic "Broken and Healed" on Ao3.

When I'm not doing any of that stuff (or battling executive dysfunction), I'm probably gaming, reading, listening to music, or watching cartoons and anime.

My favorite game genres are; Platforming, puzzle, horror, and occasionally RPGs. I mostly play indie games, but I've been getting into more triple-A game franchises slowly, but surely.

As for specific fandoms, trust me - you'll know. I will mark posts with spoiler warnings as I see fit.

Basic DNI; no racists, sexists, ableists, homophobes, transphobes, pedophiles, proshippers, etc.

I'm not comfortable with DMs unless I know you personally. But asks are fine.

I believe that's about it. Don't really have any other socials - people scare me.

Remember to be kind to each other! :) - Beetle

Here's a fan art I did of Zagreus from Hades (Supergiant)

This is my favorite video game of all time.

Hello my friends, I am Hassan. I am 14 years old. My family and I live in hell-like conditions. In fact, it is the center of hell. I was supposed to go to school at my age, but the occupation took away my dream and the future I dreamed of creating. I am the student who is supposed to carry books and pens to teach to a child who was robbed of his dream, future, and freedom. My family and I struggle with death every day in all its forms, including bombing, displacement, hunger, and disease. We find difficulty in the simplest requirements of life. All I need is for you to help me donate to save me and my family from hunger. We buy food from donations. Help us buy food and save us from hunger and death. Share my post and pray for me.

I present to thee, Zahrina and her husband Wyll🥹.

I’ll drop some lore on Zahrina soon enough! But for now, bon app the meat 😭

Zaella Lavellan

{A lore drop pulled from the game + a little expansion of my own}

Clan Lavellan is known for its seemingly nomadic lifestyle, and their no contact with humans whom they share the cities with. The Dalish found comfort in their surroundings, and usually could be found near off skirts of cities to avoid unwarranted attention from Free March rulers

Zaella was born amongst this clan, and blessed (or cursed) by the Gods to be a mage. Her power grew by the day as she developed into childhood, then adolescence. Both parents saw the power Zaella had, and her inability to fully harness it, so they urged Zaella to seek the keeper of the clan: Keeper Deshanna Istimaethoriel Lavellan. Days turned to months of Zaella being in the care of Deshanna, and away from her family and friends.

When they did return with Zaella gaining better control over her abilities, the clan was facing another crisis as the Templars and Circle Mages clashed throughout the cities. The conflict was so bad it started to spill into the countrysides which pushed the clan to ditch their very temporary living situation, once again…

Zaella created most of her memories in the countryside, and dreaded the idea of moving; she knew no place would be save for them. Keeper Deshanna held similar sentiments toward the area they settled, and instead of picking up everything to leave, she went to Zaella, and a couple other pupils.

They were to go to the Conclaves, and figure out the severity of the situation under guises that would not further put the clan at risk. Zaella, and the others agreed… but along the way they turned back, and only Zaella followed through.
