Chat Noir: Hey, my lady? Quick question: why was Argos multitasking during patrol and trying to solve a cryptex? He said he got it from you.

Ladybug, casually: Oh, it’s from my latest treasure hunt I made for him.

Chat Noir: …You give him treasure hunts? Why?

Ladybug: I still don’t totally trust him not to pull another ‘Red Moon’ incident so I figured if I give him enrichment, he’s gonna be spending his time solving puzzles and figuring out clues that take him all over the city instead of potentially becoming a supervillain again.

Chat Noir, who watched Félix spend several hours to solving riddles last night: …Huh. Does he know..?

Ladybug: 90% sure, yes. I don’t think he cares that much, he’s pretty invested in it and I’m great at creating complex systems with clues to follow so— it works out. Plus usually there is something to find at the end of the trail. Usually Kagami.

And because it's New Years eve with only a few hours left of Australian 2024, might as well treat myself and upload some Researcher!Sif concept art too!

Non-textured version under the cut

[essektheylyss]

I was thinking about how you'd go about adapting for the Nein show with regard to the alluded-to D-plot following whatever Essek was up to with his Assembly contacts prior to the Nein showing up given that the general sense I get is that the cast does hope to adapt campaign 3 as well, and Ludinus was his main point of contact. If he is not the eventual villain, it isn't tight enough for that format (which is super limited in comparison!) if you don't alter that, since that just ends up feeling like a loose end.

Personally, if I was doing the adapting, I'd probably switch Essek's contact to one of the other collaborators that he listed. Trent seems like the obvious first choice, since it does later tie him to Caleb, but I think you run into trouble there, because it becomes too personal in a way that's harder to reconcile, especially in the time the show allots. It's certainly doable, but I'd personally think it causes more problems than it solves. It would also require threading a needle in terms of his willingness to collaborate with Trent; you could go the A:TLA season 1 route and set him up to be an obviously much worse person, but I think that makes it too clean cut. That's very sensible for a kid's show where you do have an antagonistic teenager who you want the audience to sympathize with, but you can make the dynamic more complex than that in adult media.

Which brings us to the final candidate: Vess Derogna. It took me a minute to think this one through, but this is actually brilliant. You sprinkle her in from the get-go, rather than only vaguely alluding to her through Cree up until Felderwin, and you don't run into nearly as much complication in eventually settling Caleb's distrust of Essek as you would if he had mainly been working with Trent, nor do you risk defanging Essek by juxtaposing him against a blatantly horrific guy. You also ratchet up the horror of Lucien killing her, because she will have been such an uneasily menacing contact for so long, so the audience if not the Nein fully understand how powerful she is and how much influence she has, and he just waltzes in and offs her. That is already pretty powerful in the campaign just by knowing that she's a member of the Assembly, but it hits harder when this person has been an imposition for four seasons straight.

And most importantly, it takes the "What happened to Vess Derogna?" exchange up from funny to fucking hysterical.

Now look what you made her do

You can’t live with this kind of knowledge

She’ll make sure of it

NEVER make your fictional language riddle a plain replacement cipher!!!! I made it out of an escape room having NEVER FOUND THE KEY TO THE CIPHER because “the” and “always” are EXTREMELY identifiable words. Always make a full language. A cipher is breakable in 15 minutes when you are like me and Siobhan Thompson

I mean really Brennan. That was STUPID.

Of all games why this one

Would

(go to one of his theatrical broadway-wannabe concerts or perhaps a late night gameshow comedy hour sketch performance. I’m not too picky I’d be willing to pay money just to see him perform anything period)

Yea I felt like doing something silly in order to break away from the dread of finals week coming up. What can I say? I’m a professional procrastinator. But man oh man it was a good call this time around—I mean just look as this scrumptious masterpiece right here. Time well spent for sure. Genuinely I believe to have cooked with it chat /j

This is a version without the added stars by the way. And the second one is obviously just raw image reference/the original “bereal concert meme” source. I was very tempted to put Puzzles in that same exact outfit—however I decided it would be overly time consuming to make two separate versions. Maybe once finals are over I’ll be able to do that :)

rough estimate on the order of caitlyns scenes based on her lip scar on the bottom lip (and her uniform). the 5th photo is from the original 12 second teaser. i just saw caitlyns end scene at the end of episode 9 and it became certain in my head that it wasn’t from Jinx knocking her out. (not certain on 6 n 7 as its hard to see if her lips been hit yet in theses shots)

i don't think i've talked a lot about my puzzle stuff on my tumblr but i'm actually really into puzzlehunting!! i was going to write an aroace agender puzzle, but unfortunately these past few months have been kind of bad :( but keep an eye out next year :3

deltarune tomorrow soon TOMORROW!!!

(link to usual pinned post)

so i want to give a heads up beforehand that i will most likely be liveblogging deltarune chapters 3 and 4 when they release. everything will be tagged thoroughly for spoilers - i will NOT be using the main 'deltarune' tag as i don't want to flood it, but i've listed the tags i'll be using below, so people can blacklist them ahead of time

also, please please please don't spoil me - even vaguely. like if i post 'oh i wonder if xyz thing will happen' and people start commenting even just like ':)' or 'oh i cant wait' or things like that, even without actually saying a spoiler, that will pretty much confirm to me that said thing will be happening

ik being ominous is fun as hell but i really prefer to go into things blind and i don't want to have to rush through the game to get through it before i can get spoiled. this also includes giving me hints unless i specifically ask for them for a specific part of the game. tysm for understanding!

tags i will be using: deltarune spoilers, deltarune chapter [number], deltarune chapter [number] spoilers

as well as my usual liveblog tags: russ plays deltarune, liveblog tag, deltarune liveblog

prismo!
