I feel sorry for your wife, if these are the kind of plugs you use

It always gets to 3:03, and I shout ACID TIME!!!

Then start posting bare weird shit on here, and talking to myself

[antandra]

1. Massive (Creates dope bass noises and fx)
2. Live Cut (Glitches shit to all hell. Great for resampling.)
3. Artillery (Lots of great fx you can trigger via midi)

[3za]

1. Massive (Creates dope bass noises and fx)

Any synth with effects and resampling can do this

2. Live Cut (Glitches shit to all hell. Great for resampling.)

You can chop, pitch, reverse, loop, stutter etc with your DAW built in audio editing.

3. Artillery (Lots of great fx you can trigger via midi)

You can automate the native effects to youe DAW (on/off wet/dry)

All these plugs give instant gratification, where there is lot more to be learnt, and exploured doing things manually. Nothing against these tools for intermediate/advance users, becuase sometimes you now you want that little stutter, and pluging xyz does it quicker, and easier. I use dblue glitch sometimes for a little stutter everynow, and again.

Jump balls deep into the rabbits hole, and don't be scared to suck. (zen wub moment #MakeMeMod I dare ya)

id recommend learning the stock plugins inside and out before buying any external ones

Good monitors
Room treatment
Time

although a high end reverb is rarely a mistake

This is good advice ^

I wouldn't recommend a plugin to anyone as a "must have" cos for me at least, the GUI, layout, routing and "fun factor" of a synth are more important for my workflow and creativity than a synth which is objectively the most powerful or popular.

Check some demos of synths and see what makes sense to you

I will say though: don't go and torrent Massive and a shit-ton of other complicated synths if you're just starting out. You're best off learning from the ground up, e.g with a fairly simple synth, like most stock ones.
