openvampire as special forces weapon Web Original
hi folks, i'm looking for a series of original fiction short stories, that i found posted on a forum i now can't remember the name of and read some time around 2015-18. as i recall, it was about an army medic who was violently turned into a vampire, and was then used as a living weapon by the US military and placed with a special forces strike team. the vampire was sentient but very much treated like an animal by the military — i seem to remember a collar or muzzle being involved? — and most of the stories were about his relationships with the strike team members. pretty sure it was explicit, or at least on the boundary. any help very much appreciated before i drive myself insane trying to search for it. thanks!
openVideo listing reasons why someone comes back into your life Web Original
A YouTube video that lists reasons why you should not forgive someone who comes back into your life, and the reasons why they come back.
The first is because the guilt they feel is selfish (regret would be a better word). They left in the first place, convinced that they'll find someone new, and only come back because they find that the relationships they start with other people feel hollow in comparison to you. To welcome them back would be to tell them that you are free to discard and come back to whenever they see fit.
Edited by SeaRoveropenSilly animated video on the Web? Web Original
So the page for Mundane Afterlife mentions a "silly animated video" without a title or link in the Web Animation section and I want to know what animation it is:
- There's a silly animated video on the Web, about a man who farts in his cubicle, gets sealed inside, and lights a match to read the pink slip he's been given (and farts again). When he goes to Heaven, he winds up in a cubicle.
openAPP Can’t remember the title Web Original
A Pokémon fanfiction on Wattpad. The premise is that there exist Pokémon-human hybrids (which, unusually for such fics, are shorter than humans if not the height of their Pokémon counterparts) who live in their own secret community in the woods. One day, two human kids wake up as Froakie and Fennekin hybrids and are forced to go to the town for safety and answers. The woods are also home to a “witch” (actually a benevolent hybrid). Early on, the new hybrids go through a natural biological process that enables them to use moves but also makes them “wilder”. I’ve been trying to find it but with no luck so far. Can you help?
open"Meme Town" short Web Original
I remember back in 2012-2013 I saw a Flash short named "Meme Town" where the plot was about two (or maybe three?) TV producers trying to pitch a TV show about memes. At a certain point one of the producers starts doing some freaky stuff, like he's been possessed by a demon or something, then he suddenly turns normal and reminds the rest of the team that the show should include Brony references.
I tried searching back that short (I wanted to make a sort of time capsule of things I watched a lot online years ago), but it seems like "Meme Town" is too generic for modern Internet to point to that one single short and brings only to random meme compilations.

I used to have this video cached on my iPod through iTube before it got stolen and I haven't been able to locate the video since; I'm hoping it's still on the internet SOMEWHERE, or at least someone can confirm that it's been wiped out. Background song was 'Read All About It Part 3', depicted what I believe was a Warriors OC with a shadow being possessing eerie glowing eyes behind them, covering their mouth with shadows.
The whole thing was always really striking to me, and I've never been able to let it go that I can't find it anymore.

open2000s Secret Agent Flash Music Video Web Original
(from this post
I made on the Lost Media Wiki forums)
I remember watching a secret agent-themed Flash cartoon/Animated Music Video when I was a kid in elementary school that had a style that reminded me of Poptropica (stylized characters, colored outlines). It featured a The Pink Panther-esque theme with a chorus which was something along the lines of "Go on mission, a mission, a top secret mission". It was on a piece of software known as ZAC Browser. For those unfamilar, it was a web browser targeted towards children with autism. It featured many games and videos, IIRC.
Here's a recreation I made of what the melody of the chorus part might have sounded.

Youtube Short that mentions the fourth wall breaking scene in Sonic Movie 3 felt out of place.
