I drew my best friend’s ( @satellite-runner ) boyfriend as a gift <3

never tried this rendering style before. also never drawn him before, but he’s fun to draw, maybe i’ll make other f1 fanart we’ll see

closeups -

see how much Andrew loves Lando? practically drooling over him 24/7

So I have a question about what is the relationship between king and Siffrin in the guard rouge au, like are they friends, mutuals, or did Siffrin just come to the king one day, said that he will help him and the king just rolled with it?

It’s complicated for sure- and it depends on which of the two you ask. But they are, to a certain degree, friends! It’s just that Siffrin is willing to die to protect the King, and the King is just as willing to kill Siffrin to further his own goals. I imagine they met before the King began to freeze Vaugarde, and Siffrin simply agreed to stay by his side. They’ve always been too loyal for their own good, and really, what else do they even have?

ranking fears by how great or not great it would be to be an avatar of that fear. lets go.

14. at the bottom of the list we got flesh. nasty. no thank you. someone else can grind up peoples bones. also how are u gonna go anywhere without being obviously supernatural. unoriginal attacks. 0/10 look forward to a friend circle with a radius of zero

13. extinction. what do u even do all day?? spend time waiting for things to happen? news flash we already do that

12. end. u get sadistic powers and ur emo all the time

11. buried. u squish people and thats it. thats ur whole job. half the time u dont even do it correctly.

10. desolation. ur hot (temperature-wise) and u can never hug anyone and that is no fun. and u will prolly have to join a cult of psychotic arsonist freaks who have never agreed on anything but u do get to smite ur enemies which is desolation ONLY thank u very much no i am not taking feedback

9. corruption. fix your family issues. you dont need the toxic (heh) love and validation of literal germs. if you wanna be devoured by what loves you see mr pitch or forever deep below creation please. however there is a wasps nest in my attic

8. stranger. lowk soooo fashion soooo skincare creepy magical girl identity crisis moment loving it. freakish tho.. get away from me i dont wanna hear abt ur untalented taxidermist friends... but jessica law <3 yeah she's why stranger is up here thats the only reason

7. eye. ooh this one is a toughie. obviously everybody else will see u as a prick forever (beholding is obnoxious by nature) but at the same time..... knowledge ???? yummy ?? however you will be absolutely insatiable and lose all your friends and become a monster addicted to sucking people's stories out of their souls and invading their dreams. so. there's that. the series has explored a lot of what it's like to be an eye avatar and i think in general it's not worth it. sure, you can win the occasional pub trivia, but in the long run knowing everything sort of removes the joy and meaning from life. jon was so depressed by the end and i feel like we don't talk about that enough.

6. slaughter. prepare to win a million dollars by becoming a boxing champion.

5. hunt. k i have lots of thoughts on this one. most prey cant run as long as you can like dont you get bored???? but u get to be hot and deadly so thats a plus. also i bet youd be really good at first-person shooters and laser tag or hide and seek. and finding lost objects. all in all a solid pastime, although you do have to hunt on a consistent basis to sustain yourself and thats probably a pain to do without getting noticed. 70/30 pros and cons

4. dark. hear me out on this one ok i feel like it would come with a huuuuge advantage in combat like u can probably literally blind your opponent and summon made-up child's monsters (fnaf?) to attack for you. also black goes well with anything. nat 20s every time youre a rogue. think about it

3. web. manipulation is not ok but its funny. just IMAGINE the PRANKS you could pull

2. spiral. fucky fuckin hands??? freaky architecture?? mysteries??? hallwaylighting doorkeeping monsterbossing???? sign me UP

1. THE VAST. FLYING. EXISTENTIALISM. THE CONCEPT OF INFINITY. ROCK CLIMBING. TROLLING PEOPLE VIA IMPROMPTU ROLLERCOASTER RIDES. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE

[urmomsgnocchi]

i'd love to agree with the people saying that they liked the episode because they didn't expect buddie canon anyway and the other characters should have screen time too, but someone please name a fleshed out, satisfying conclusion we got for any character in this finale? nothing has changed for anyone except bobby is dead and maddie had her baby. neither chim nor hen are captain, eddie and chris are seemingly back to normal in the home in la, ravi is still barely a side character. the only big change we see is that buck doesn't value the team anymore and is homeless??? no realistic resolutions, massive, season-spanning decisions made and milestones reached offscreen and quickly. there were no "seismic shifts" of any kind let alone buddie related ones.

Velika never died but came back wrong.

Ignore the Matoran body and the Karzhani mutilations. Something is wrong. Something is not how it was, something is unusual, something is confusing, something is different, something is wrong.

He speaks wrong. There's something weird in how he pronounces words, the way he marks accents, the structure of the sentences. It's all correct - grammar, morphology, phonology, syntax - but something is wrong.

He looks wrong. His true appearance is the same as it was but something is off on his posture and movements. He performs the action of looking at others wrong too: it's all miniscule details, eyes a little too still, a little too wide, pupils contracting and expanding a little too mechanically, a strange lack of feeling, a thin smile on his lips that never leaves them. It's always only small things, but something is wrong.

He thinks wrong. It's hard to explain. The way he poses himself, the way he talks, the way he feels, the way he listens, the way he moves, the way he reacts to things, the way he replies to questions, the way his body responds to stimuli, the way his reflexes trigger, the way his glands activate, the way his muscles contract or relax, the way his heart beats, they way his breaths sound. None of it is so overtly, obviously, painfully different, but something is wrong.

Some liked him, some hated him, doesn't matter. It's so clear.

Of course, Velika never died.

This Velika is not Velika. This Velika is wrong. This Velika is not right. This Velika cannot be Velika.

Velika never died, of course.

But Velika came back, and Velika came back wrong.

It would be too easy otherwise, I suppose.

To change without being changed.

Okay so like

Glisten was a DHMIS OC before Dandy's World was a thing, right?

HC'ing that Glisten's 'teacher' role would've been something along the lines of friendship / fitting in for the gang? Something similar to a mix of the Love episode from the webseries and Jobs and Family from the TV show (Having a community of people who care about you + fitting into an environment or mold or dynamic) - a whole bunch of Yada Yada about 'this stuff makes you likeable and this stuff doesn't!!!' and 'look at all of MY friends, aren't I popular, isn't it fun being liked by people?? Don't you want to fit in with us??'

I'm uh. NOT REALLY GOOD WITH GORE PLACEMENT SO IDK WHERE IT WOULD FIT INTO THE EPISODE IF IT WOULD EXIST?? There's almost always some gore element to the episodes- But yeah basically he is the epitome of toxic friendships / being toxic to yourself by forcing yourself into a little perfect box so that others like you. And then a lot of his Oh Shoot™️ moment that most Teachers seem to have would be breaking down from that 'perfect little box' in front of the main cast.

Anywayyyys. Red Guy is unintentionally the most popular of the bunch, Duck is constantly peeved that people aren't 'respecting' him by being his friend and is trying to steal Red's thunder, and Yellow is just. Barely even trying to fit in the whole time, he mainly wants to do his own thing.

And then that probably gets him sucked into seeing Glisten's REALLY BAD Oh Shoot™️ mental break moment from questioning why and how Yellow is still perfectly happy doing his own thing and just liking his own little group of the ✨️Three Of Us✨️ instead of a huge group of 'friends,' and then questioning why he himself is even doing all of that acting for a group of people in the first place (maybe in the episode his group of 'friends' are the ones who get attached to Red and ditch him? As a show and tell for how these types of people are just. Awful. And they latch onto Red because he's the latest thing that's caught their eyes and Glisten is old news. Just a dusty mirror. And for the rest of the episode after this happens, he's trying to get himself back to being the star of the show and potentially attempting to recruit Yellow to help him do it).

Anyways there's some brainrot for all of us fine Dandy's World / Don't Hug Me I'm Scared fans on this fine Thursday the 12th, because I have been thinking about this non-stop since I found out about this fact.

^ Art from Qwel about what Glisten would've looked like in DHMIS. Put him with the butterfly and the lamp in the Skittles Squad /lh /silly. Would've loved to know what he would've been as a teacher if he'd have stayed on the DHMIS OC route.

Gleba

What's this? More Gleba content on my blog that's becoming increasingly Factorio focused?

Yes. Today we're focusing on everyone's favorite Gleba intermediary BIOFLUX. I've been working on some new designs for it for my MP game. We're hitting the late game and my previous base with around 90 SPM isn't cutting it anymore. We're routinely having Lime Science as our bottleneck, and it's not helped that every shipment of bioflux out stalls our science production. So I've been looking into creating a new build for producing bioflux in mass, with attention being paid to late-game technologies. So I am designing with consideration for beacons, modules, & stack inserters (though these designs feature none of them. Instead I try to get the basics down, so they can be upgraded with quality, surrounded by beacons, & have stack inserters placed in as well). Since I've gone to the trouble of designing 2/3 of my planned layouts (I had a third layout, which I've decided to abandon in favor of testing the other two).

So with the idea that we want this to be a late game build, we're running with a few constraints and other considerations.

No Quality

Bioflux here is being produced primarily for export. As biter spawners don't benefit from quality bioflux, it's not worth complicating the build for, or trading off the below point.

Maximize freshness

We want to maximize the viable time of the bioflux on Nauvis. Easiest way to do that is to maximize freshness, and have a good spaceship (Which... is a different topic altogether. Perhaps a post for another day).

Space for Beacons

I want there to be space for at least a beacon for every single machine. We're beginning to regularly roll out fairly decent quality modules of the speed/prod variety, and I'm planning on building a much larger Gleba, so using modules is on the board. Plus my current issue with power on Gleba is actually having too much chemical fuel, and not enough usage, as my heating towers are throttled for better efficiency... so I have spoilage backups. Weird problem to say "I have too much power" but I do.

Shoots for the Bioflux ratio of 6 bioflux -> 5 Yumako Mash & 2 Jellynut chambers

The ratio is honestly kinda awkward at first, trying to figure out a good way to lay it all out, but I realized after a bit there were some decent layouts possible.

Fits within a robo-port grid

Fairly self-explanatory goal. I like having my roboports laid out in a perfect square grid. If I can fit the build within that, even better

With that in mind, I'll move to the designs. I'm testing them on a Nauvis sandbox (because the sandbox puts you on Nauvis by default

The first module. I found it has some of the worst space efficiency, I can't evenly put beacons around most of it in a tilable manner, and then I realized I'd have to braid belts in for the yumako, bioflux, & spoilage unless I wanted to have a 5-item belt monstrosity... So it's either a triple-braid, a rotting sushi-belt, or the design gets canned. Admittedly, a triple braid is manageable, and could be worked in such a way to hit the machines in the right order I believe, but... the final nail in the coffin here is a weird one... I don't want to belt jelly if I can avoid it. So those things altogether made me decide the design was best stopped here. I chose to share it, as it's the only design that most of it can be used with an 8-8 beacon array. It might be a good starting point for a different design for someone else.

Despite the name indicating this is the B module, this was the third module designed. It got its name from its placement between module A and C during my initial designs, while I was searching for a placement method I could use to place the biochambers such that every chamber was adjacent to the biochambers needed in the production line. I'm using infinity chests to test that all chambers fire up correctly with no downtime while running, and then run the bioflux through a steel chest before into another infinity chest to delete them. That lets me get a look at the freshness of the outgoing bioflux, and I can get a rough idea of which design is "fresher". Now earlier I mentioned that beacons are a priority for these designs, and I didn't abandon that principle. Instead, what I realized would work best would be to run pairs of beacons in the center of the yumakos, on either side of the central inserter. There should be enough space to fit a single beacon (Unfortunately I can only fit one beacon in there, there's no way for a second beacon to reach the center chamber). Another note on this design, is that it's tileable, so it can be connected front or back. It's main pitfalls are the belt-braiding (I tried a mixed belt, it didn't work well), and the low number of beacons that can affect the center. Finally, I'll give the freshness rating, which came in at a nice 96% freshness (We use fresh fruit spawned in infinity chests, they don't begin rotting until the inserters pick them up and put them on the entry belts. I ran this while the other I worked on the other designs before adding the freshness counters. So the system was already "Hot")

I also flushed the design by stopping fruit coming in, and then later restarting it, to see if it could clean itself out, and recover from a stall. I think this is the better design, even though it doesn't have nutrient production, as nutrients are fine to be wasted in my eyes, are easy to mass-produce, and a base without flowing nutrients has bigger problems generally. I originally wanted it to be nutrient independent, and capable of restarting itself, but I'll likely just have to make the nutrient production contain a nutrient-rebooter. And... considering this is for biter eggs, it's not impossible I might decide to start shipping eggs over for overgrowth production, and using them as a primary nutrient source...

Finally is module C. So this module uses a jelly belt again, but it's a lot tighter in build than Module A. Also due to the positioning of the biochambers, it's possible to use a 4-4 beacon setup with it as well. However... I've decided that if this module ends up in my base, it's either going to be for nutrient rebooting. If you look at the top row, the belts are placed at distances where yellow would work, but I found that they both require red-belt levels of throughput to keep up with the jelly & bioflux productions. In fact, the Jelly production needs at least a blue-belt, and I think actually needs a green belt to *actually* work right. That's because each biochamber outputs 12 jelly per second, and together that 24 overwhelms the 22.5 items per second of a single express belt by just a small bit. Scaled up with a 4-4 beacon setup with legendary modules, beacons, & biochambers, I think it might overwhelm the throughput of a stacked turbo belt. I didn't move to test these in legendary form admittedly, because once I got both designs working, I watched them run and waited to see if flaws began to show up. And for this build, they did. I had to rearrange the spoilage out a few times, noticed the last two bioflux chambers weren't running, which again have stalled, this time due to no Yumako. They've been routinely having problems getting sufficient yumako mash or jelly. And then they had an output issue. Ultimately I came to the conclusion if the build was struggling at common quality with no beacons, it'd perform worse with beacons & modules & quality, and there's a chance stack inserters would not be enough to save it. Finally, there's the freshness results. This build had a lot more variability in it. It stabalized around 95% freshness, but had drops down to 80% which is likely due to the input starved machines.

Don't remember if I posted these little doodles o mine but might as well post them anyhow! If it DOES turn out I already posted at least one of these or god forbid BOTH of them I'll just stab myself in the chest with A SWORD to honor my family legacy and relieve them of my shame! Or maybe just use a memory wiping gun to relieve myself of my OWN shame!

I am Thinking about how Odysseus harmonizes with Scylla. I am Thinking about the shift from Polyphemus mimicing Odysseus' words back to him as his men die. Polyphemus being the cruel monster to Scylla and Odysseus harmonizing through the bloodshed of Their victims. He chose this he chose this he is this he
