#not-bot stuff

[triangle-strategy-text-bot]

Pinned post!

As the title implies, this blog is run via bot! It currently creates one post every 23 hours, and pulls from a pool of dialogue from the main/side stories, the character stories, and the encampment exploration conversations. I'm planning to add more stuff later, particularly some of the miscellaneous flavor text like character profiles/war chronicle stuff/ability descriptions/etc.

Please feel free to let me know if you notice any problems with the posts! I did my best to clean up the data, but due to the sheer amount of dialogue in tri strat, chances are I mislabeled some things or did formatting stuff weird.

Some other nitty gritty details for anyone who's curious:

This bot was created using a Google Sheet and an Integromat scheduled scenario. The speakers and the actual dialogue text was pulled directly from the game files, but a lot of the context tags were things I added manually (and are therefore more likely to be incorrect).

Dialogue lines were processed chronologically and then grouped together by speaker, e.g. if Roland and Serenoa are talking and Roland has three lines before Serenoa gets his turn to talk, I combined those three lines together such that it became one piece of dialogue for the purposes of this bot. I did this because individual lines can be pretty short and often lack context when left alone (there are at least a few places where two dialogue boxes are essentially the same sentence with some punctuation slapped in the middle). However, this does sometimes link together mostly-unrelated sentences as well, so it's not perfect.

I arbitrarily removed a good amount of lines that were along the lines of: "Understood." "Thank you." "Indeed." and other simple responses. For Serenoa in particular, since he has a lot more dialogue than anyone else, I also removed longer lines that were vague/not super interesting/were repeated many times with slightly different wording (e.g. stuff like "How is he doing?" or "I've found what I was looking for. Time to consult with the others.").

Here's the spreadsheet the bot pulls from if anyone wants to see what's in there!

unsure if my ask went thru bc i didnt see the popup that said it sended over so i’m typing it out again

i NEEED NEEDD a tutorial on how you draw & design mechs bc the way you draw them is literally perfection in every way. this is from an anon who wants to make mech ocs but is unsure where to start theyre so complicated to design

dusting off my tutorial brain

my style of mech is very influenced by transformers (mix of different continuities and tf artists that I like) so I look at a lot of characters for inspiration

There's a lot of stuff you could add to it too like vents, pipes, antennas, fins, wires, joints, etc..

Lost Light sillies

TFOne Dratchet AU but Ratchet is very tired of Orion's shenanigans and Dee is there to make sure his BF has both arms again.

And before anyone is worried that the good Doctor is left alone, Drift had his Ratchet-is-getting-lonely senses tingling, so he arrives to save the day.

[ID: digitally drawn fanart of the cat from Flow. They're walking towards the left with a fish in their mouth, they look down to a puddle, in which they see their reflection accompanied by the friends they made along their adventure: the dog looking excitedly at the lemur and the capybara walking behind. End ID]

took a break from birbfest to draw some Flow fanart since i went to see the movie and loved it so much. i love when characters don't talk yet they say so much aaaa

i also made a little comic to my reaction at the end, which was mainly for instagram but i liked the face i gave my fursona so im posting it here too

[ID: digital drawing of an anthropomorphic cat sitting in a cinema room, watching a movie. They're crying as they eat candy from a bowl. There's a thought bubble coming from them that says "I fucking miss my friends". End ID]

i know the movie has some biblic stuff going on but i need more religious education to understand that and i haven't seen my friends in months

Eggs for Killie is over!

I award myself the 150th egg for all of the little bits of art. Thank you so much for inspiring me to make them! It’s been really amazing to see all the hard work and to truly appreciate the wide range of crafts and activities everyone can do. Bobbin lace? Shoemaking? Knife forging? Translating Irish? It’s genuinely incredible.

I also really appreciated the people who were taking a rest, too. Thank you for that as well.

And I SUPER, SUPER appreciate everyone who was going through saying encouraging words, leaving replies/reblogging with comments, or liking all these posts. That was also a huge outpouring of kindness and time. I saw you doing it (and tried to make sure OPs did too) and any credit for people feeling empowered? That’s for YOU.

I know for a fact that people were following each other simply because they spotted one of their people through doing this. Thank you for being here - and being brave enough to find each other! 

If you have a project you were working on specifically for this, and missed the inbox, drop me a message - I don’t want to miss you.

150 eggs x 60g (weight of medium-large chicken egg) is 9000g of eggs.

That’s 16.8% of Killie’s body weight in eggs.

I am planning to write a book about Killie and I think it will be very VERY funny to acknowledge every single username who contributed in the acknowledgements…

…. Because I am planning to throw them back at you.

Now rest up, everyone. April Fools tomorrow, we gotta make the REST of the website unusable.

Ratchet, being interviewed: “I’ve seen the horrors of war. I’ve seen countless bots die in the battlefield, in space, in my arms. I’ve see bots being blown up, eviscerated, decapitated, drawn and quartered, tortured, beaten, and vivisected before my optics, but there is one thing I fear above all else.”

Human, coming in for the fourth time that week with an interfacing related injury: “Hey, Ratchet, it’s your favorite patient!”

Ratchet: “Primus, if you exist somewhere out there, take me now…”

Meanwhile, Rung in his office alone: ”Hmm? Oh strange, I thought someone called for me…Oh well.”

Continues his work from before.

★ Leona x Gn!Reader, Reader is Yuu here! Mentions of Grim too but like, BARELY. A little over 1k words!

★ SYNOPSIS: In short, you made realizations about your relationship with Leona that you probably should've had... months ago.

★ A little warning for possible OOC, bad writing, and grammar mistakes, hehe! Regardless, I hope you enjoy :D

Being sure of yourself was something that you took pride in. That was the case back on Earth and especially the case now that you were thrown into Twisted Wonderland— a place so unfamiliar that you might as well have been considered an alien.

Maybe you already were? You were magicless with a strange fire-hazard for a cat-raccoon thing. Even now as you walked towards the botanical garden, you were carrying Grim. It wasn't hard at that point to take into account the way the other students looked at you. With their scrutinizing eyes and avoidance, you figured that your guess isn't so far off from the general opinion of the public.

You didn't care, though! You're CONFIDENT that you've experienced enough to have already met the worst jerks that this “d!$ney-knockoff house of villains-ahh” college had to offer.

Well,

that is…

…until you met Leona Kingscholar.

The most prickly jerk you ever came to know. A man so VILE that you're on your way to meet up with him in the garden for your regularly scheduled naps.

Honest to whatever God your current world had, as much as you wanted to moan about how long the stick in Leona’s mud of a butt is, he's nooooot… the worst guy ever. Actually, deny it as you might, the prince of the Afterglow Savannah was more of a friend than a jerk to you.

Still a jerk though.

One heck of a comfortable one, at that (much to your dismay). In fact, in recent times, he's quite the substitute for a pillow, if you could say so yourself. And you do! You even insisted on meeting today just to nap because you sleep better when Leona is your pillow.

"Huh?"

You suddenly stop walking, hit with the reality and weight of your own thoughts.

You use... Leona as… a pillow?

You… you use Leona as a pillow…???

You… huh…????

????

‘I DO WHAT NOW???’ You suddenly drop Grim onto the floor in the middle of the hallway, hands flying to your head as a slow, slow, quiet crisis takes over you. It was as if you gained sentience the moment you thought too deeply about your relationship with him.

No, but seriously!? Now that you put more of a conscious effort to evaluate your actions, you realized that you've been so affectionate with Leona! Using him as a pillow, resting on his side, napping with him in the garden and in his bed…!?!? In his bed for goodness’ sake!

How come no one has told you that you do these things!? (Ace and Deuce have mentioned it before.)

Why has no one mentioned how weird it is for you to act that way with Leona!? (Many have mentioned it: Namely the Heartslabyul folks, the first years, and even Grim.)

Is this even legal!? (It is but you were not being rational at that moment.)

“OH MY GOD!?”

So much for being sure of yourself!

Thinking back to your entire relationship, you wouldn't be able to say when it all started. When did the frightening lion of a beastman stop being so… frightening?

Was it after the Octavinelle fiasco when the subtle touches— lingering and often leaving an explicable amount of warmth in an otherwise tepid patch of skin— started to come about? You never would've thought that you'd say this but forced-proximity does wonders with communication and you did stay in his room for a good while (but you still don't advocate for it…).

Or was it after VDC when the softness held behind each of your gazes when you come across one another reared its worrying head?

Worrying to the point that the once untouchable prince became within reach of your hands, of your heart, and of your mind to be consumed with him, him, and only him.

When did the two of you stop being hesitant but oh so very careful as to avoid any alarm?

When exactly did the sands of your friendship break down into something so… different yet all the same? Like a sandcastle broken by the heavy tides. The foundation may have been broken and yet the material was still, irrevocably, sand.

Who knew a crisis driven by cuddles could induce metaphors?

And metaphors aside, you like the beach, and the sand, and the waves. Very much. It was always so warm to the touch, just like h— Oh.

When did—

“Oi, Herbivore, eyes on me.”

Leona's voice snaps you out of your overactive mind in an instant, as if your entire being knew that its main focus should be the person right in front of you. The person that had your left cheek cupped in his hand that could easily cover your entire face up if he wanted to do so.

But he won't. Especially when you haven't flinched away when you both knew how keen you were with keeping to yourself.

He would've backed off the moment you showed any reluctance. After all, your comfort is his priority. But you haven't shown him the slightest bit of discomfort and he was willing to take the chance to assume that perhaps he wasn't just seeing things when he thought you looked at him in a way no way else had before.

And by the Sevens were the two of you so compatible as similarly, your brain had decided to grow blank with only one thought to entertain it with.

No beastman should ever look that soft.

And yet, he does.

Because of me.

What the hell were you thinking? You weren't even fully conscious when you dragged your body to find his after your little crisis half an hour ago.

You supposed that that was simply another thing you aren't sure of.

“Herbivore, c'mon. Look at me. You can't possibly ignore me when you were the one who insisted on meeting up.” He almost whispers and you could've sworn that your heart had melted faster than anything under the scorching sun.

You almost felt like defying him just to see how far he'll go.

But you look at him anyways— eyes peering right into his viridescent ones that shined so ethereally under the setting sun.

You met this vile, vile man's gaze, growing worried as the sound of birds chirping could've beaten the quiet volume your voice had taken. Still, you spoke, albeit without any thinking,

“Oh, God, I like you.”

And at this point? That was apparently the one thing you were sure of.

★ END NOTE: hiiii, I REALLY like Leona and SHORT YAP!! I always felt like he'll be the kind of love where you'll suddenly realize that you love him one day. Maybe the realization gets prompted because of how comforting he is, idk 👉👈 anyways!! header by me and stuff :D!

yooo it's the factory bots, i've never drawn these guys before so it was fun coming up with my take on them! i thought it would be cool to give them consistent differences in design based on how new/old they're implied to be: inspector and melter having ball joints and complex fingers, they're always being scrapped and rebuilt and have more involved tasks, versus the dredger being a bit closer to p03 in design since he's older and crustier (they all get the hover tech though, i feel like that was a factory-wide retrofit lol)

also jimmy is here! idk i think it's funny if he's just kind of around lmao

[saturns-rings-sys]

Octocon is a new app for systems. It's traumacentric and made by traumagenic systems. It also has a discord bot that is a lot easier to use than pk in my opinion. You can also sync your app and the bot so you can edit alters in the app. The app is on android already and coming to IOS soon. Hope this helps some people :)

(If you're in a server, I recommend adding this bot as more people are starting to use it instead of pk and tupperbox)

Apologies for any confusion, turns out they have a neutral stance on non traumagenic systems.

Snowbot/Monster hunter Shockwave: *probably smells like lavender or something* Yeah that's nice ^v^

Mecha/Spellbound Shockwave: *Stands three feets away with a spray bottle in hand* DO NOT TOUCH ME!!

Spellbound Shockwave would be so unbelievably sad if you were treating him like that.

How could you see him being like this and not want to give him a big warm hug?
