my designs for the mains

more below

honestly astro's default skin looks bald so i made his hat longer (like star time. i like his star time skin he's the reason i bought it) and gave him more markings i guess... also fluffy blanket

i wanted shelly to feel more like an explorer cause yknow fossils n stuff. i was kind of inspired by grant from jurassic park but yeah also she has a tail and sharp teeth because i think it's cool

sprout should have had a snout propaganda idk where i saw this first but it STUCK with me and it looks awesome. he's mostly the same other than having a tail and spikier hair. also he's mad which is literally me whenever i play as him

honestly i didn't know what to do with vee other than give her a proper outfit because she is a gamehost. WHERE is her glamour!!! also she has heels i guess

lastly is pebble and i think he's perfect the way he is. the bow is optional but i thought it was nice. made him look more uneven and rocky

anyway i hope you liked them and if you didn't then idk design your own, i like seeing everyone's interpretations ok BYE

why do kids cartoons always have the best most nuanced and layered plots and characters and adult cartoons are always just “fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck”

Vector, Shadow, & Knuckles, do not enjoy your "aren't you a little too old to be trick-or-treating" comment.

Ignore the fact that I'm... Very late with posting this.

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

Man, watching how the villagers in Kamura treat your hunter is nerve wracking. I mean, they call you their savior and have held so many high hopes and expectations of you since even before you became an official guild certified hunter. In game, no amount of failed quests changes that opinion.

But in the hunter’s mind, what happens when they fail? Not all failed hunts end in death, but if the villagers see their “savior” constantly fail, then what happens to that faith?

God forbid your hunter has any form of anxiety or imposter syndrome. That would take such a massive toll on their mental state.

……..

Definitely not the thought I had when creating Lynn in Wilds for the first time. It takes her a bit, but she does get better with support from her fellow guildmates.

youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower

from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way

Kazutora and Keisuke fall in love very differently.

Kazutora falls in love easily and quickly. It's like Cupid himself pointed his arrows at the poor young man and shot at him wih scary accuracy when Kazutora first laid his eyes on you. Loving you is easy for Kazutora; one might even say it's like breathing air or fish swimming. It's natural. It comes easy to Kazutora. Perhaps it comes as a consequence for his need for a safe space, or the want to loved as intensely as he does. Whatever the case may be, it wouldn't take long for you to catch on to his adoration towards you. From him hitting you up whenever he can, to showing interest in your hobbies to inivting you to hang out one on one, Kazutora is not afraid to make you feel loved.

As for Keisuke, love isn't as easy. I like to think of him as a non-romantic; he doesn't seek it out actively, and neither does he fall in love at first sight. Keisuke might even scoff at romace, finding it sappy and boring and perghaps, even unrealistic. Sure, he'd die for his friends, but romantic love surely wasn't in the books for him. Or was it? For him, love is like building a ladder. First comes, you become an acquaintance, then a friend, eventually a best friend before he falls for you. It will take him some time to realize his feelings, and even more to confess. Though, the fear of complicating and ruining a good friendship might linger in his mind before he gets his act together, the need to come clean will overpower his doubts, especially when he thinks to recognize your subtle ways of affection as a confirmation of your reciprocal feelings.

Something I think is extremely interesting thematically when it comes to connecting what Downfall and the ideas it tackled to the overarching narrative of campaign three is that the things Downfall made a point to showcase of Aeor—Cassida, Hallis, the visual of an aeormaton proposing to her partner, the specific and intentional decision to shed light on a far from insignificant amount of the population being civilians or refugees—is that it plays in perfect parallel across from what is happening (and, really, has been happening) to the ruidusborn on Exandria in present.

Bear with me for a moment. Aeor is ultimately a city that was collectively punished for the decisions of its leadership. We could (and, judging by the amount of discourse around this particular topic already, probably will) argue about what the Gods’ motivation for all of this was—whether it be that they could not, in the end, bear to kill their siblings or that they were terrified at the prospect of mortality—for me it is a very healthy dose of both—but for this I am much more interested in the latter. They were scared. That, really, is the driving force behind both this arc and their role in c3 as a whole.

Why I point this out is: It is far more interesting to me, especially as we go back to Bells Hells this week, to dissect the Gods and their decisions not purely on sympathetic motivation alone but as beings in the highest seat of power in the highest social class in Exandria.

So, having established that the Gods (in relation to mortals) are more a higher social class than anything we could compare to our real life understanding of divinity and that Aeor was eviscerated largely because of their fear—what is the difference between those innocents in Aeor caught in the trappings of their autocratic government leadership and a divine war on the ground, and those of the ruidusborn being manipulated both by Ludinus and by the very thing that inspired such visceral fear in the Gods to start with. I would argue very little.

I think of Cassida, doing what she genuinely thought was right and good and would save people, her son, and the object of her worship—and how that did not matter enough to any of them to spare her because of the fear they held at the very concept of mortality. I think of Liliana and Imogen, one of which we know begged for the gods to help her or send her a sign for years on years, and how every single one of their largest struggles could have been avoided had the gods loved them, their supposed children, as much as they feared what they could be. I think of how the thing that did save Imogen, in the end, was a woman who herself existed in direct defiance of the gods will. I think of that young boy, sixteen years old, that Laudna exalted on Ruidus.

I think it’s completely fair to judge Aeor’s overall society as deeply corrupt—it was!—but its leadership and police force are not a reflection of every one of its citizens. Similarly, it is fair to judge the Ruby Vanguard as corrupt—it is!—but its multiple heads of leadership and even the god-eater further are not a reflection of every one of its members.

Notably, and what I think the Hells will latch onto, this did not matter to the Gods. It did not matter that Cassida was trying to help. She was still too much of a risk. Will it matter, what Imogen does? Will it matter, if that young boy is in the blast radius when they decide to take no further chances?

I’ve seen a lot of people say that the Hells will side with the gods and I don’t think I agree. Especially as Imogen has been scolded and villainized over and over for daring to try and save her mother—who herself has been seen by some as an irredeemable evil in spite of her drive being the exact same—her family—but when it’s the Gods it’s justified? When it’s the Gods, it’s sympathetic? Too sympathetic to criticize further than “they’re family”?

I obviously do not think the Gods should die or be eaten or what have you, and I certainly don’t agree with Ludinus (though I find him much more compelling than just a variation of hubris wizard), but when talking about the Gods in Aeor and in present it isn’t really at all about their motivation or their family. It can’t be. Too many people, including our active protagonists, lives have been effected for it to be as cut and dry as “they’re family”. These are your children. They are your family, too.
