currently thinking about how tommy said that ctommy waking up underwater every day in exile was a metaphor for his mental health, and that the further and further out to sea he got and the further he was sinking the more deteriorated he became and eventually he would end up unable to resurface had they not done something about cdream.

currently thinking about how if ctommy couldn't resurface, he'd drown in his own thoughts, believing his friends and family all hated him. nobody would see the kid they once knew in him anymore. maybe he'd never be seen again at all.

currently thinking about how ctommy saw one anxious, forgetful enderman lad, roped him into a crime, and took 100% of the fall when they didn't get away with it. ctommy could have ignored the situation. he didnt have to go to ctubbo and say "it was just me, man". as cranboo said, he could have said it was all him. there was evidence it was him.

but i think that after everything, ctommy would still be unable to live with himself if it'd been cranboo in exile instead of him. on the surface, he's a child. a soldier and a veteran and a criminal, yes, but still a child.

but beneath that, he's learnt. he's decided he'd rather throw himself into trouble than let his friends go through any amount of suffering.

i think that if cranboo were to ask, "why did you do that?" ctommy would sigh, that familiar shaky sigh we all know, and he'd speak quietly in reply, "i know what some of those bastards are capable of. i'd rather go through all that than have you do it for me. plus, it wasn't your fault."

or maybe that's just me.

I utterly DESPISE the reliance our government online systems have gotten on fucking Smartphones

What do you mean I can't access the Government Healthcare Website to do my shitty fucking little Online Appointment because literally the only option you offer is logging in with fucking Mobile Identification, which currently doesn't fucking work for me, with no backup options, you god damn whores?

I'm all for the convenience of Just Use Phone but for fucks sake have you heard of REDUNDANCIES??? OPTIONS???

[rinzydings]

Happy day, @naffeclipse !! (right click each for better quality fghgdf) Apex Polarity had me in a choke-hold and ough ;o; the ending was so intense and then so lovingly soft, I knew I wanted to draw it as soon as I was done reading. 3 days after starting it, here we go! It got away from me a bit at the end cause it was just meant to be a sketch comic but heehoo Thank you for such a lovely piece of fanfic!! <3 <3

[ganondoodle]

okay now, im a little pissed off- i wont be reblogging the post bc its and old shitpost and i dont want to attract more notes on it but

i am so fucking, and i mean FUCKING, tired of all the shit ass excuses some people try to make to defend ganondorf being a nothing burger character

this dumb ass comment really goes all in too, and here i painfully see how much damage skyward sword has done to him bc people cant fuking think i guess "as of skysw he doesnt have an true motivation of his own- hes evil just bc he is there nothing else to it" shut the fuck up man oh my god, you dont think thats a problem? you just accept that? no no OOT also already showed hes nothing but evil tm uwu he doesnt have a reason - AND THATS A PROBLEM YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON

if you think that giving ganondorf a miniscule amount of ANY sort of sensical reason to do what he does, a backstory, fucking anything 'changes him into a different character'- HOW in the FUCK do you not see the problem here

and my favorite (refernceing a different character) "If hes evil, like ganondorf, which means an absolute evil, then his backstory wouldn't matter a lick" HELLO??? HELL FUCKING O???? "absolute evil" do you know how you sound like??? also EVERYTHING MATTERS oh my god, but no no of course it wouldnt matter and make no difference if you knew more about a character, no, actually, knowing less of a character is better even! why even write anything tbh? you just give them a label of good or evil and then you dont need anythign else heehoo i cannot believe this shit is now hanging on one of my posts, im struggeling to even dismantle it bc its just so goddamn stupid what do you mean it woudnt matter???????? if i knew ganondorf had a personality (especially totk bc its the worst case), if i knew he had loved ones once upon a time, he laughed and was allowed to feel like a person, whatever made him go down a bad path to end up making you defeat him would mAKE IT ALL HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT (this is assuming that whatever path it is leads him to oppose you but also .. it doesnt have to mean hes evil or done all bad deeds, guess what, you the player could also be playing the real "villain", wouldnt that be a change of pace .. or it wouldnt, depending on how you look at it (oh NO shift of perspective???) it already is, even if i personally prefer it ALL being a spectrum and not just a label of good and bad and just rolling with this badly definable bunch of words)

do you know why i didnt give a flying fuck about the final battle in totk?? bc its all fucking NOTHING, ganondorf is a goal post with a face that got "BAD GUY" written on it in big red letters stapled on it and nothign more, you cant care about nothing and the point of any story at all is to fucking CARE

honestly a reason why i hate both "redeemable" and the good and evil descriptor is that its so ... limiting, redeemable, what does that even mean really?? it just sounds like you are applying some weirdo christian sins to make up for with good deeds shit onto characters that are, or should be, meant to make you feel something and be a pinnacle of jesus instead, like a checkbox, a scoreboard, and now its being mainly used as a negative word to dismiss legitimate criticism of boring or shitty writing bc giving any character any depth at all now automatically means you want to redeem them and thus absolve them of their sins or some shit, make them uwu perfect little good guys which is not the point (even if there are people like that, sicne guess what, theres lots of different ideas of things all around, inlcuding this hellhole- and yes there are shitty ways to give a character depth! the problem then isnt the motivation to give them depth, its the WRITING of it)

the whole good and evil thing also is just so darn limiting, what does evil even mean, who defines it matters alot, what does good mean, the definition is also really really bendable- link kills more living things than ganondorf ever has yet he isnt evil (bc hes on the side of hyrule, the designated good gouys uwu which means anythign they do is okay), the royal family having a torture dungeon and persecuting the shiekah into submission doesnt make them evil uwu but the gerudo have to suffer for the "crime" of having birthed ganondorf at some point for all eternity i guess

(as well as the very very obviously stupid turns and things ganondorf does and doesnt do literally just bc they needed him to do soemthign you could call bad even if it makes no sense at all, why would he attack his own fucking people out of nowhere, why destroy everything, literally what for, why give himself up if he wants to rule its jsut as stupidly nonsensical as the dumb magic pebbles that just gives random powers out just to force the outcome they wanted to happen)

redeemable, saveable, whatever, giving a character depth doesnt have to mean you want them to join the good tm guys either and im so fucking tired of this way of thinking, EVEN considering that hey ... it would be cool actually to have a ganondorf as the main guy, but we all should know that would only happen if he is a servant of hyrule, which i would consider to be more out of character than ... GIVIING HIM ANY SORT OF DEPTH??? to sympthaize, be conflicted or see the guy you need to defeat has a point is like, not a bad thing?? you can make someone be the most sympathetic guy of all time and still make you fight him ??? and i will repeat again, ganondorf being a nothing burger (espeically in totk) hurts EVERYTHING, everything suffers from shitty writing and lack of writing, the thing that link and zelda are almost just as flat istn .. isnt good either?? its also bad but hes got it way worse (and the racism oh bOI)!!! (there is a reason why ww ganondorf is widely seen as the best one and itse literally bc he says ONE or two lines that may make you think omg .. he is person.... he might FEEL OoO- man the bar really is below the ground isnt it)

and they dont even care to try to make him actually be dislikable, he doesnt tease zelda with killing her father or soemthing, he doesnt have any sort of connection to any of them, every line he says (in totk) is like a prepackaged microwave villain line, you could apply it to anyone, even rauru and it wouldnt seem out of place tbh (which is BAD), more depth would have connected him to the story, the world the literal everything which means people care which means a better story i dont know how to explain to you that you should be able to care about characters??????? he gets the stamp of "evil guy" on his head and they expect you to be happy with that, accept any stupid thing they make him do and others say about him without question? do you NOT feel at least a little insulted???

and like, this is still written, this is a piece of fiction, they had to sit down and write all that, or .. well, NOT write it, they decided to do it like this, despite the ocean of potential in front of them, you could do so many itneresting thigns with this world and they jsut dont and then theres people like this that are so entrechned into this boring ass writing they think that its the point, liek the point is its bad hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"but hes not meant to be a person he jsut ev-" SHUT the hell up, nevermind the whole curse thing is an englsih trnaslation thing and also perhaps not meant to be taken literally, you think that makes it ok? that well there was a demon once (who also doesnt get any sort of depth btw!!! problem shoved one place over but still the same problem!) so that means hes not actually a person but idk a demon puppet or soemthing- doesnt change anything imo, are you not bored? are you not tired? are you happy with not thinking? not being engaged with at all? to see chaarcters to utterly flavorless you fall asleep and choke on them? i am not, i love thinking, im addicted to it even, i think every day even, right now too, they got a convenient excuse to put not even the barest fucking minimum of writing care into a character and you are jsut going with it!! where are your tastebuds buddy??

[camthecatchameleon]

cranking the image description out for this one boys

lineups of the Crews from the two Legends of Avantris campaigns I’ve actually listened to with consistency (still not finished with EoM but I’m on 21 so I’m getting there dont worry) + artists notes

Highly suggested that you scroll below the cut for this. (my handwriting is not the best + its small + some hidden design notes too :eyes: )

Image 1: Carnivalé LeCroux (not drawn to scale lmao)

(from left to right)

Hootsie: least fun to draw (Boring shapes) (draw the least). Typically I imagine her as a horned owl owlbear so her canon “eyebrows” flatten out and connect to her neck. I just think it gives her a nice silhouette. Frost: least fun to draw (cat). I’ve been drawing him with Chinese/vaguely East Asian-inspired robes because he’s from the mountail of Yulong and you can’t just give me a place called “Yulong” and expect me NOT to go ham on the east asian inspiriation. (east asian artist here.) Gricko: don’t draw nearly enough, most fun to draw (hair). I gave him a permanent cowlick on his bangs and I think the shapes are nice. Chunks ripped out of his ears are from Hootsie when she was younger and couldn’t control her strength. Kremy: most fun to draw (lizord), draw the most, did the most reference study for. I may love to draw lizards but crocodylidae are so uniquely shaped. Scrolling back through my ouaw posts and you can see I am still getting used to it. Torbek: most inconsistent, stupid machinery doesn’t make sense. The shape of his canisters and the collar with a keyhole both are from the first time I drew him, which was without a reference, and they just. Stuck. Gideon: Big boob indulgence, stupid machinery doesn’t make sense. Drawing him with awkwardly long hair, post-trauma fat, and smile lines is my favorite passtime. His marriage rings are on a necklace because they get in the way of punching clowns. Twig (pre-death): draw the least (can’t figure out her shapes). Drawing her fractured glasses and refracted eye is my favorite time.

Image 2: Witchhunters!! (I think my headcanon height difference is funny)

Shortest to tallest (briggsy and farryn are the same height):

Briggsy: Still figuring out how to depict distinction from Kremy (gator). So far i’ve got more spikes and a thicker neck and thats about it. I’m working on it. Farryn: fun shapes! skinny L. Ever since learning how to draw body fat I’ve never gone back its actually so hard to draw skin-and-bones skinny people now. Marius: least consistent (can’t decide how curly her hair is), armor L. Yes I headcanon he/she marius do you have a problem with that? Bat-like ears because heehoo. I just realized the symbol I drew on his chestplate looks like the Horde symbol from she-ra FUCK can you tell I don’t look at references? Jericho: most fun to draw!!! (draw the most). I like to draw virgil!jericho with four-pointed-star slits instead of just orbs with pupils because I think shapes are fun. Lethica: drew her wrong for WAY too long. I hadn’t paid enough attention to her actual ref and covered up her chest initially I’m so sorry queen. shes so pretty though. Although I do think its infinitely funny to headcanon that she actually looks pretty average. Tall women my beloved. Yorgrim: least drawn, Beard + Big indulgence. No seriously I’ve only drawn him twice. Hes awesome though soft rectangular shapes ftw.

LIFESTUCK ?!?! (pt 2 here!) (pt 3)

i was sick a couple days ago and spent like 12 hours straight doing nothing but classpecting life series characters and then was like Yeah i have to draw this now. so here's some sillies 👍 (super long classpect ramble under cut because i spent far too long on it not to share hfshjf)

quick note: i really really love @/classpect-navelgazing's theories and used them for a lot of the ideas here. go check their blog out it rules :]

ok you guys flower ranchers (scott tango jimmy) are making me so insane for this au specifically because of this idea i had about doom/life players. doom in true canon is related to inevitability, fate, and knowledge of the specific rules that keep the characters trapped within their story, right. and life is sort of related to healing, physically and mentally, within the confines of the game. so within this au, the aspect of life refers to the rules within the game that the players can see and are aware of (last life’s trading lives system + boogeyman, third life’s soulmate mechanic, secret life’s tasks, etc.). life players have some amount of dominion over these elements (depending on their class, of course). doom on the other hand refers to everything surrounding the games (stuff like admin powers, the world barrier, and whatever happens to the players after they die). 

as a mage of doom, scot (his name is so funny to me. like yeah he sure is) has a bunch of intrinsic knowledge about the way the games function on a logistical level. he’s like a guy who read the script a while ago and forgot all the characters’ names but knows the basic plot and how it’s going to end. or who knows all the ins and outs of tech crew and for whom the apparent magic of the show for the audience is lost on, since he knows how it’s being done. the thing is, scot isn't especially able to act on this knowledge during the game. what director wants someone in the audience — or one of the actors — taking all the magic out of the show, spoiling how it works and how it ends? no, it’s best if they keep that knowledge to themselves — and so scot’s narratively unable to affect the stories of those around him, even his close friends who he’d want to help. he’s aware of this, of course, which makes him more than a little depressed, as he can see the futility of it all and can’t even explain to anyone what’s going on and how the game works. (the only story he’s able to affect, of course, is his own. which. depressed doom player + mage martyr complex + guy who Really cares about his friends is not necessarily a good combination.)

the amount of stock i put in the idea of gendered classes is close to zero so tangoe gets to be a maid of life because ohh my goodness. i like the theory (thanks classpect-navelgazing) of life as “the aspect of affluence,” where life players usually enter the game with some kind of material wealth or status that helps their position in some way. i also like the idea that maid players start the game with a surplus of their aspect but often end up feeling as if they’re only seen as a provider of that specific thing as a result of this, and so end up longing for something else instead. this primarily applies to last life tango because that’s the season i’m most familiar with lol, but i thought the way he started out with so many lives there and quickly dwindled as a result of everyone taking from him and only him was Really interesting. mans has all the luck of the game he could need, but only wants friends to actually be able to live with. being a life player also ties into his little gambling games and things (again, dominion over stuff within the overarching game/story, but nothing beyond that).

then we get to jimi (again fantastic name). the basic premise of an heir is that they’re played by their aspect, right and Oh Boy is jimmy played by life in the life series. i don’t personally know much about anything he’s done other than heehoo canary guy but along with the previously stated points it’s So fun to see him as a life player because it allows for some really clearly contrast between the way he interacts with tangoe and scot based on their aspects. i really like the idea of scot being like “you’re a life player jimi. it's in your name. the game is not going to let you die” and jimi like “you really think so? aw thanks man” neither of them knowing that dying as a life player in this game is literally like in the job description. (ok. i kind of feel like i’m letting jimi down by basing his story so far around other people.. but this is just for fun and i can always change it later)

(also i could easily have put tangoe and jimi as doom players too but for the fact that i don’t think they necessarily see through the game as much as scot does (or at all). and so life it is.)

feel free to ask me questions abt them!!! i have so many thoughts about this bro 

[collision-ant]

OMG- I am absolutely DYING for your Spamton art- just your portrayal of him in general-

The AU idea you posted about the other day, is that something you are going to expand on? Like- little mini comics, or maybe a full series?

If so, I can't fucking wait omg-

If not, that's cool too, now I have another thing running around in my brain to occupy me, lol

Yes yes yes! I am very invested in this AU atm and planning on drawing more sketches, doodles, and even short comics about it!

In fact, I'm working on one right now! Here's a little sneak peak, heehoo

[lynn-tged-posting]

tged webtoon ep 169 spoilers and thoughts that i'm incredibly late on because finals are coming up but it's okay we ball and more below the cut

.

.

.

two little creatures,,, i really like this little panel,,, why is he crouch like that,,, heehee silly guy

nothing too drastic happened in this ep but there's a lot to talk about (and a ton of thoughts i have abt the execution of it) sooo ya here we go!!!!

the expressions and the art in this ep were all REALLY good i really liked these HAHAHAA hes so fucking menacing,,,

JAVIER WAS ALSO FUN I LOVE WHEN HE PLAYS THE STRAIGHTMAN HAHAHAHA

javier ilysm "i have so many things to say,,, but i wont,,," LOL

the heavenly demon kings were cool too! though very short-lived,,, i will have more to say on that,,, their designs are pretty varied and i like that a lot!!! tho seriously why are there eight of them what happened to warrant eight LMFAO

ALSO LLOYD IMMEDIATELY SUBDUING THE DEMON KINGS BY SINGING LMFAOOOOOOOOOO he's got a weapon he's gonna fucking use it LAKJFDLSJKDF

zero hesitation he just blasted them,,, it's like taking an airhorn and firing it immediately in someone's ear,,, how evil,,, lloyd u bastard /aff

AND ARTANIS ARTANIS WAAAAHHH SHES SOOO PRETTY i love characters with horns like that ive had my fair share of OCs with those horns and together w her hair and expression and eyes i love her a lot <3 i hope she gets more sillies

it seems like she's the only one with mind reading abilities maybe its a demon king thing? javier did mention that she has a LOT more power than she lets on so maybe theres more to it? her introduction and her request for help came VERY quick she was quick to cry and while it absolutely makes sense that its bc her people really, REALLY need help, im also wondering if there's something more to it,,, she was very fast to trust lloyd; what else does her mind reading let her see, to what extent? not saying that she's an antagonist or anything, i do believe that she wants to help her people i'm just curious at how. fast this is. though it may just be because of a pacing issue thats causing this confusion in me,,, which i will talk about later below cause i wanna get thru these panels heehee

and lastly, OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE FORMER/FIRST DEMON KING CREDOS!!! and apparently he just. stopped invading and focused on farming!!!

one) i love collecting little bits of lore like this it makes me go heehee yay worldbuilding

and two) THIS IS WHAT BRIDGES TGED TO THE NEW PREQUEL THAT THE AUTHOR IS WRITING!!! AAAHH YESSS YES YEEESS I LOVE THAT A LOT

if you didn't already know, the author is currently publishing another webnovel set in Lorasia, and it's supposed to take place when tyrannus was a kid, basically a long LONG time ago

AND ISN'T THAT FAMILIAR? A DEMON KING WHO STOPPED INVADING AND WENT FARMING,,, THATS THE BITCH!!!

(it says here there were four heavenly demon kings here tho i wonder why they doubled HAHA)

i love love LOVE that the pieces were set up like this, idk if credos is mentioned in the novel at all but little building blocks that create bridges (however small) between works in the same universe are my favorite thing ever i like collecting those it's my favorite kind of worldbuilding thing bc it's like putting pieces together heehoo

i'll ABSOLUTELY be making a post yapping about this prequel and the Everything that is Lorasia soon, so i'll leave this off here for now :3 but just know IM VERY EXCITED/HAPPY ABOUT THIS LITTLE LORE BIT IN PARTICULAR

ok that's all the panels i wanted to talk about ,,, i was gonna dive into worldbuild yapping/speculations but again i wanna make a separate post dedicated to that

now,,, about the pacing of this episode,,, as aforementioned, it feels really, REALLY fast! it feels like we're speedrunning the build-up part of the journey, like within the episode it's like "oh we got new characters, we get to know them- oh okay yeah they're not bad people actually - oh new powerful character let's work together okay cool moving on"

and it's a shame because i really really like the art and gags for this ep, i think they're really silly and i think i could have really come to like these new characters with more time, but because we're going through this process so fast it's like,,, the setup is barely there, which makes the punchlines just short of satisfying,,,

i wanted more out of this episode, i expected something else. i haven't read the novel so i couldn't tell you how i'd adapt it or what the something i expected was but,, idk it feels like the pacing is off,,, lloyd was quick to piece together the status of the overworld demons based on their attire and behavior but i really wish it went about in a different way. i wish we could have had more time with the heavenly eight demon kings before they were just. subdued? and the two children too, are we gonna see them again? with how fast they were introduced and how fast they were set aside, i'm worried they won't show up again

i also kind of wish artanis' reveal was,,, more. i don't know how to explain what that means. maybe more ominous? more mysterious? just a little more, more hints to her character or her relationship with other characters or something,,, though maybe this is too soon and we'll see more of her later and i'll be more satisfied? i'm not totally sure

this episode just didn't hit the same, and that really upsets me because i really wanted to like this episode! i've read more manhwa than novel currently so even with it's flaws i still really like the manhwa, and i want to be able to continue liking the manhwa,,, i really hope that this pacing thing and these fast-paced bits is just within this one episode and that it'll be okay as we go forward. i really want to continue enjoying reading this!!!

it could be that the adapter is experiencing some kind of burnout, it has been quite a long time since the start of tged. i really hope they take their time with adapting the rest, i really wouldn't mind another break. if another hiatus is needed for the adapter to pace the story and the artist to draw the panels in a way that feels better or less rushed, i'd accept the hiatus fully

anyway that's all i have to say right now,,, ep 170 really feels like a gamble right now and im praying that it goes well, if i have more thoughts ill probably rb with more yapping idk

i'll see y'all next week (aka tmrw) (because this post is a lil bit late LOL) im praying im praying,,, manifesting that this ep was just a lil awkward and that everything else is fine,,, please,,,

[2n2n]

ch 123

here we GOOOOOOOOO. whoaaaa 'cat' what does that chapter title mean? How strange.

*gets distracted immediately* ahuao *crawls under the desk*

I'm thankful for the immediate problems lol. We can't let it be too easy.... leaves me suspended in curiosity for what could be going on with those fools... clockkeepa..

heehao

hahaha heehee *clap clap clap clap*!! heehee!! AOOO haha uueee ee ee ouuuuu they are like little small sachels with elastic threading around their skirts, they grab things and then tighten themselves up into little sacks of goodies... HEEHOO!!!!! I aaouuu I love them they are koooooot

*was SHOOKT*

little white sockies......

little teefers....

🫵WHAT IS THAT 🫵🫵🫵🫵

a BLESSING FOR ME PERSONALLY, for me Avvy, to ENJOY, some sort of CLOCKWORK KITTEN some sort of YUGI IN A CAT FORM. feralized yugi.... here, ALONE, with NENE-CHAN

IN MY WILDEST DREAMS I COULDN'T IMAGINE THIS--!!!

nibble nibble...

how do I not post every panel

misssschievoussss scamperous wonderfully delightfully drawn...

Aida-sensei is a talent beyond all renown...

I'm fascinated by a Yugi self-referring as "poor, pitiful"... you're going to not understand or agree, but it makes me inclined towards this being Tsukasa. It's just difficult to imagine Amane identifying himself that way...

I like that these this dapper little outfit evokes the gakuran's flowery ends, the same thick rim & ornate cut edges. Meanwhile, the white paws evoke the hands just peeking out from the black pajama body, down to the backfeet still being black like the shoes.

however, both Yugi wore the gakuran in life. But we're definitely having a 'hanako-like' aesthetic, atmosphere, intentionally.

but then, doesn't the Yugi-sensei in the Red House have a Tsukasa-like atmosphere? it would be interesting if the two's stations were so reversed. It would make one reflect on the similarity of the Yugi, and their situations, behaviors, as circumstantial.

There is so much overlap, and so much of their lives is a consequence of the hands they were dealt.

uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it's a really nice panel isn't it. *collapses in on myself like a folding table*

Nene-chan's pure heart is transfixing. Don't you want to help her?

I guess I'll be honest, it reminds me of the kinds of pauses Tsukasa takes on Nene-chan.

ughhh obsessed with every little panel

this flirtyyyyyyyyyy dainty kitty kitty .... aaouuurhghh.. I think it has the seductive energy of Tsukasa 💢 that's my present stance... I could be wrong...!

isn't it too girlish 💢

somehow.... I think of Tsukasa are moreso this externalizing his thoughts and ponderings openly, honestly admitting things easily. Amane keeps everything locked up inside of himself, or reveals it as riddles or something...

reminds me of this boy.

😭 kowaiiii

ermmmm what a cute pair//// sooo cute to hold kitty like this eeeuuuuu

uuhgghfff. I feel this is a Tsukasa-like expression... don't you?

I really love this soft moment with Nene-chan... whichever this is, so sweet.

well, there's my bets hedged, perhaps humiliatingly if I wind up wrong... let's be honest though, it's more fun that way!!! To just dream!!

To get into it a little more,

narratively speaking, I think it makes the most sense to be Tsukasa.

if 'Hanako' in this timeline has become a Red House haunting, well-serving cursed entity, a Tsukasa-like position,

then the 'Tsukasa' should be similarly opposite to our expectations, and perhaps be bound to the school in a Hanako-like position.

I think the Yugi are more similar than different, and, this arc may be attempting to put a pin in that, and challenge who we ally with, and why. If any Yugi can be flung into unfortunate circumstance, why should we give up on any of them? Is it right for any one to be banished to the shredded existence, given no sympathy? Can't Nene-chan bond with either of them? If Tsukasa was put into a position to protect or save Nene-chan, would he do so, like his brother?

We have already spent plenty of time this arc sympathizing with Yugi-sensei. I don't personally believe Tsukasa would be flattened into nothing but a ghoul, at least ... I believe his place in this world would be as developed & considered as Amane's. I do not feel we would breeze past it. Especially when we have recently been allowing Nene-chan & Tsukasa to have so many loaded, leading interactions, surrounding the clockkeepers... I have to believe those are all building up to something, bestowing Nene-chan with more contemplation on Tsukasa. Since Nene-chan is typically our audience surrogate, we should mirror her curiosity.

I could see the clockkeepers choosing to conscript Tsukasa & wipe his memory, rather than completely eradicating him from all of existence. He's just a useful asset at that point, & this is plenty humiliating a position to put someone in, isn't it? If he has no power here, there's no issue...

if he has no memory, the simultaneous existence of Amane's "Tsukasa-kun" poses no issue. Just a random creepy weird ghost story.

If the cat was Amane, I guess I would question what that would add to the narrative, if we just spent so much time accepting the complexity of his fate. He seems to have so much going on as it is, and a continuity of existence that makes sense to me. I'm also not sure what shenanigans-that-resemble-normal-canon-but-slightly-different-with-Hanako kitty would really offer, other than just being parallel to our world. But isn't the point how this world is twisted, should make you think twice about everything around you? Betrays your expectation? Perhaps your hero is a villain and who you thought of as your villain could be your hero.

To respect Nene-chan's grieving over Hanako, I'd like this strange company to be Tsukasa! But I would love for him to remind her of Hanako... to remind us.

It would be easy to fall in love in this kind of circumstance, wouldn't it? Well, I mean, if you weren't already in love, anyway ......

[the-eyes-special-boy]

hey so what if in my ‘oh shit Zuko is the Avatar what do we do EVERYONE START PANICKING’ AU its Azula who does the life changing field trips.

Sibling bonding with Ran and Shaw.

Prison break featuring Azula who is so good at lying actually okay super useful and Suki is here!!! you guys!!! Suki!!! she’s here!!!! (Zukka is the thing but like. what if Azula has a lil crush on the leader of the Kyoshi warriors)

heehoo murder time except PSYCHE!! he gets to live with the crimes he committed have fun sleeping at night fuckstick!

and then crime time with Toph because damnit she deserves a life changing field trip too.

and all of this is sparked by Agni possessing Azula and peer pressuring her into going to aid the Avatar and yeah you should totally jump out this window and run off and you can trust me because I’m the sun god.

[faunusrights]

progression of an aufeis

not that anyone gives a shitttt but uh here's how each stage goes:

kidnapped: basically right when cinder comes to kill the traffickers jacques hired and finds weiss has done all the work for her YIPPEE!!! they shaved her head to try and hide that very distinctive hair but all that did was make it easier for her to bite their throats out heehoo!

kept: this is before weiss and cinder hash out exactly what their relationship going forward is. weiss has nothing to their name so it's TIME TO BORROW NEO'S ENTIRE WARDROBE. i'd say weiss is very depressed at this point but that would imply they feel anything at all. they're just sort of hovering around.

hired: after cinder and weiss start figuring out What They Are. weiss plays bodyguard whilst cinder chases down information on the traffickers and they do a genuinely dogshit job at it. they're very agitated and unpredictable.

owned: weiss is called aufeis now! it does everything cinder asks and finds life is great when you don't have to think :) no longer as aggressive because cinder gives it headpats when it's good, and it no longer has nightmares about being taken away because cinder has it gps chipped and can track it down to any square metre on remnant! it is such a handsome doggy yes it is yes it isssss

Hey so what’s your drawing process?

GET OUT MY HOU---

I have never been asked this b4! :-O Im drawing at the moment so it wouldnt hurt to explain how i do my refs for example heehoo

First i shallablamkdabdomdb I Think. I brainstorm. Im like. How does this character behave and act towards their everyday surroundings. 🤔🤨.... and then im like BAM I GOT YOU NOW!!!!! Sooo for the ram , for example- shes around 17 and is like ,, Shes very messy yet energetic ,, a god of war at her age makes her very energetic and outgoing since she has all this power (and well i guess it doesnt help she has adhd but-) so i was thinking about her pose as something rlly silly and dynamic

As i got used to drawing poses it was actually smth i learned from a couple of my moots- one of my moots got a similiar ask like this nd i took it with a big bag of rice and RAN ,,, Its all about me wanting to make dynamic poses- im not the best at fluid bests For Now but IM GETTING THERE ,

But yes sorry; thinking about my poses, sketch it twice, begin linearting- but after i finish lineart, i create different layers of coloring because my brain (ocd) tells me things and if i dont do This Thag Way I Will Be Killed On Spot With A Nuclear Ray From The Sky

I do lineart first, draw the face over on another layer, do hair color first, then body color under the hair color,, after im finished with that i then go HEEERRRM. NOW. Does it deserve a little razzle dazzling? A little speckle spackle? Do i want to render it? Do i want to change the lineart color to highlight the characters main color scheme? Yap yap yap my process isnt ALWAYS like this but its usually that way-

For allure though i can use a good example for this- when drawing allure—if i want to line their hair with the darker beige—i create two more layers and then draw over their hActually this doesnt make any sense I MEAN. WELL. I COULD PROBABLY JUST SHOW THE TIMELAPSE. Oh yeah I overuse the undo and redo button as well as using a FUCK ton of references from pinterest

But heres what my canvas looks like atm :-] if i want to make size comparisons i lower the opacity of the finished art and sketch over that with how tall or small the character is- aaliyah here is the shortest and smallest so to make sure i did her height and body size right i use the transform tool to slide her across the grid and go "is she smaller than i made her ??? Is she TALLER than i made her?? Did i manage to do her body weight correctly???" Etc etc

,,

Okay maybe nothing i said made actual senseMAYBE ILL TALK ABOUT MY OTHER EXAMPLES...? Im Digging

For something like this i actually kept th sketch BWAHAHA- i didnt really feel like tracing over it again (at least more or so properly-) so i shrugged, went Fuck It, then made my sketch the lineart layer. I put the flat color beneath it afterwards, put Alpha Lock on so i can shade, and bada bing Bada Boom ,, background comes after everything else (BAD HABIT) (COMPOSITION AND PERSPECTIVE R HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY WHERE MY CHARACTER STANDS-)

Uhh what elseOhYeah if its a standalone sheet for me or a friend- i draw the two poses that come to mind first, write down all the information i was provided (eithet myself or a friend), and then draw anything else i want to next to the poses if theres space left,, this is my brothers lamb and so i went back nd forth asking doll if what was okay and what wasnt okay to add-

ABSOLUTELY YAPFESTING . SORRY. I HOPE SOME OF THAT MADE SENSE. I know this wasnt an advice ask but if people ever needed advice from me i usually fuck it up cuz my Very Own process confuses me sometimes-

I usually either take 1 hour or 2 days to finish something (yes im That chronically online and insane to draw for 48 hours straight without sleeping)

That or if i hate something i go insane (negatively) over it and refuse to ask for peer review (at least sometimes-) so im like Okay Fuck This Wip. This Doesnt Exist Anymore

Happy Munday!

Hope everyone is doin well. I personally am recovering/on the upswing from being very sick so that’s my end of things heehoo

I don’t know if I have been… active or interesting enough lately to warrant a Proper™️ munday but ayyy We live We laugh… dare I say it? We love.

So if nothing else, I figured would post this thang:

@flake-n-rudy has a April fools “summary” event going on currently! Will end this week. It’s just me horribly summarizing the blog in horrible shitposts with my token bottom of da barrel humor heehoo!

@ask-eden also has a April fools event happening that will end this week! It’s uh… it’s Jarble related haha.. couldn’t resist the rot IS strong.

So yall could check those out if you desire content!

Otherwise, yall can ask questions about either blog here. Whether it be about the events themselves or other blog centric questions about those two!

Or not! You live your life babygirl and you live it well, I pay no mind. I myself am gonna see if I can drum up any munday questions to send to others… I’m always so shy n worried about bein annoying but I gotta move past that yippee

Hope everyone has a nice day otherwise!!

Hi hi it’s your favorite sleepy fic advisor/Kurapika stan!!! I’m playing hooky to go to the lake today fuck a minimum wage job in a capitalistic hell world heehoo

What do you think Kurapika’s love language(s) is/are? He’s a thoughtful dude, so I feel like gift giving is his time to shine, but at the same time acts of service when you’re overworking yourself- ugh he’s such a sweetheart lich rally the perfect man 😫💗

My own bf just snagged me a record player at a garage sale yesterday after years of having his own record collection and begging me to start one as well. The first thing I did was order Hozier’s new album. I could see Kurapika doing something similar, especially with how they both share an mbti type :’) cozy nights spent listening to vinyl music. He gets a gift that you’d love, not expect, and could enjoy for a long time together. He checks off the Perfect Gift Trifecta every time.

I’m all over the place here, it’s earlier than I normally wake up and my ADHD meds haven’t quite kicked in yet I apologize. Brainstorming with you and helping on Fixer Upper has been the highlight of my summer, seeing ideas we collaborate on come to life in real time is just *chefs kiss*

I gotta pack my bags now before I go but just thought I’d drop in here, pet the cats for me and hang in there, the weather will cool down soon enough!

-K.A.

How Kurapika shows his love:

Acts of service

Kurapika hasn’t always been there for you when you really needed him, meaning now that he is, he would do next to anything for you. He’ll run to the store to grab your favorite snacks when you aren’t feeling well, gently massages all your sore spots, accompanies you on shopping trips.

He wants to do things for you, even if it’s as simple as opening a jar of pickles, he feels so in love when he’s able to do little things that are of service to you.

Gift Giving

Kurapika is a gift giver, through and through. He has trouble holding himself back from buying every little thing that reminds him of you. That keychain with your favorite character on it, those shoes that would go nice with your favorite dress, and flowers of all kinds.

He also enjoys making you gifts, mostly consisting of clothing. He’s really good at sewing, and you taught him to knit, so he’s always making you new dresses that fit you perfectly. He’s weak for a good sundress, and when you’re wearing something he made you it’s hard for him to keep his hands to himself.

Words of Affirmation

Kurapika wants you to know how much he adores you, so compliments and little words of adoration are commonplace in your shared home.

It’s like he can’t go one second without telling you how amazing you are, and how in love with you he is. You’re his angel, his princess, the love of his life. He’ll plant kisses on your neck as he coos about how beautiful you are.

What he wants from his partner:

Physical Touch

As I’ve said before, Kurapika is TOUCH STARVED!! Before you, he hadn’t been held by another person since he was a child, so once he gets a taste of your touch he craves it.

His favorite thing is to lay his head in your lap, face buried in your tummy as you run your fingers through his hair. Kurapika could stay like this forever if you let him.

When he gets you pregnant, all he wants is to nuzzle against your baby bump, leaving kisses against your skin. He loves you so much!

He also enjoys just being held in your arms, with you rubbing soothing circles into his back. Kurapika can be a bit of a clinger once he gets comfortable around you, so he prepared!

Quality Time

Once Kurapika comes around to his feelings for you, all he wants is to spend more and more time with you. He needs you to hold him, to want to do fun things with HIM!

His favorite thing is when you have him sit at the kitchen table while you bake, feeding him bits of frosting or jam. He also likes cuddling up with you on the couch, watching some random movie. He enjoys accompanying anywhere you wish to go, as long as he gets to spend time with you he’s happy!

Words of Affirmation

It may not seem like it, but Kurapika is actually pretty insecure about his body. He struggles with believing you’re attracted to him, even if you’re always heating up when he’s around you.

Praise him, tell him how pretty and handsome he is. He needs to know you find him attractive. There are many other men in your life that he thinks look way better than him, so reassure him that he’s the only one for you. It makes him swoon!

skimming videos both so i can mark them as played on my own account and so i can have more notes for my future Terrible Machinations:

forgot to mention in earlier reblog but fae AU for renchanting / third life makes sense to me now. martyn spends so much of those last few episodes going "i can't fight you until you hit me!!" and going for distractions and bargaining* and the. focusing on the technicalities of a rule in a life-or-death situation. looking for loopholes both here and in tango's game. it's not something i've thought through entirely but it's like. Yeah. I See It.

(note re the above: bargaining is a word which here means shouting demands up a hillside and getting basically ignored.)

sudden memory of watching the start of etho's 3rd life pov as it was coming out and getting so stressed about his tree burning down i stopped watching. (this was not the only reason i stopped watching but like. yeah. actually i do remember I Also Had To Adjust To This Game because i'd been watching hermitcraft before this.)

i could swear jimmy's eyes are a different colour than they are in later seasons

LITERALLY in the first episode martyn is already talking about defensible positions and what's best for a combat situation

this is jumping ahead because i just remembered: Important To Me that during that one confrontation with scar, when there is still Some plausible deniability re: martyn's loyalty to ren, he drops a golden apple into ren's inventory in anticipation of a fight. martyn....

"ex-squeeze me." / "uh, no thank you, i'm married."

yeah yeah my liege == my love, milord just as a matter of habit, etc etc, but he does spend like half the season calling ren boss. i think he calls ren boss at least one more time in the latter half of the season. like on one hand Martyn Is Like This The Whole Time and on the other hand It Matters To Me That He Doesn't Get To "My Liege" Until Later

sorry just got to a part where tango goes "shine on you crazy diamond" and i just wanted that written down

i'm sure this is in the pre-limlife mean gills post but. scott punching martyn into range to trigger a raid. i'm not really gonna do anything with that but it feels important that i note it happened.

JOEL AND MARTYN IS AN UNDERRATED DUO. I BELIEVE THIS FIRMLY EVEN IF THEY DON'T INTERACT ONE-ON-ONE THAT MUCH. the magic tree trick with flower husbands. joel very briefly in the red army. joel and his pack of dogs hunting martyn vs martyn who is the dog in this relatinoship. martyn going to joel's house and waiting for him there?? COW HEIST.

bdubs made the lower shield resource pack??? (i was surprised when i first learned this, i am surprised again now)

i need to watch etho's pov. this is true of nearly everyone but like. are etho and impulse hanging out?? are they friends (in character)?? etho's alliances are. bizarrely opaque to me.

end of episode FIVE and martyn tells etho he doesn't have a place -- "i'm still kind of living off the land" -- as if ren hasn't been calling martyn his business partner, as if he doesn't hop up on renchanting's roof like it's already home to him!! (i mean. okay. he also admits to "partly living out of renchanting." [gestures. you get the idea.])

he also lists "rescue grian" as one of the things on his todo list at the end of episode 5. augh......

jimmy's chick chance game is from before even 3rd life. i'm not convinced the math he describes is correct, but the game exists.

a bored and unattended martyn will do heists.

ep 6 is the crown. because of mcc. the red king exists because of mcc. i love mcrp. i fucking love it here.

ep 6: "As the hand of the king, i order you to stay put!"

martyn's REALLY good at conveying how stressful it is to have people in dogwarts

end of ep 7 for Excellent Bdubs Moment.

ep 8 martyn learns the pufferfish trick

it KEEPS HAPPENING!! people's bases get destroyed and they forced to go on the run!! (also thinking about double life) (this is weirder in limited life because the map is. such a wreck from the start. you can see the line from here to there, huh? people... give up on building beautiful things.)

oh yeah, side thought: bet it'd be interesting to look at how rules / game setup change between seasons and see what causes / effects are? thinking about: red-green alliances (REN GOING RED FOR DOGWARTS IS SO. AUGH.), and the fortress and village being there at all, and tnt recipe changes

people putting dead people's stuff in chests. i think they do this less as the season goes on? hm. putting stuff in a chest as minecraft funerary rite? this feels like an incomplete thought; perhaps will return to it later

etho should be Around for late dogwarts shenanigans more. admittedly i have a very skewed impression of the fandom's impression of dogwarts but. He Should Be There.

ren gets killed by scar and martyn dies less than a minute after.... Things That Make Me Want To Start Biting. i'll follow you to the ends of the earth, martyn said. through death and beyond........

HEY WHAT'S UP DID WE KNOW THAT THIRD LIFE IS SO SO SO SO GOOD.
