Norse Ambiance

Any of you heard of ambient-mixer.com? It’s a site that lets you create and listen to all kinds of ambient soundscapes. They’ve got a ton of stuff on there.

Here’s the Norse Mythology ambients I’ve made over the past year or two to listen to while I’m drawing/working:

Norse Shore: https://beach.ambient-mixer.com/norse-shore

Midgard Forest: https://forest.ambient-mixer.com/midgard-forest

Niflheim: https://environment-other.ambient-mixer.com/niflheim

Feel free to listen to these while you draw/read/write/meditate/study/battle the demons of anxiety that assault us all/cook/clean/etc… Or modify them to suit your needs. I might make some more in the future (like Folkvangr or something to do with Fenrir), and I’ll add them to this post.

My favorite dynamic in both platonic and romantic ships are “we share the braincell” or “they are both very smart until you put them together and then they’re dumbasses.”

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

@pigcatapult when they said OVD and Akuma couldn't fight their way out of wet paper bags, this is what they meant.

what's the tour montarvaprpawrqr or whatever french shit that word is?

ok im gonna infodump about fucked up buildings for a second so this is probably gonna be long

tour montparnasse in paris is my least favourite building in the entire world and i am slightly obsessed with it just bc of how much it sucks. its an office building and if you saw it from up close you might think ok this is a building. like its a little bland but theres nothing special about it

but then you zoom out a little 

wow!!! what the fuck. that is so ugly. it literally looks like someone jammed a tv remote into the earth and i hate it so much. also this is paris so this monstrosity is within BLOCKS of the eiffel tower and just completely destroys the view. its so evil that there is now an 8 storey building limit in the area to prevent anything this criminal from happening again

some other shitty buildings i like include marina city chicago aka the corn cob buildings, which were designed with the idea in mind of a building with no right angles since ‘right angles do not appear in nature’

and rainier tower in seattle, which honestly just makes me anxious

but my FAVOURITE shitty building is part of the sydney university of technology (uts) campus

not just because it looks like someone made a building out of wet cardboard, but because the original design sketch is a work of art and it makes me cry laughing every time i look at it

behold 

fucking impeccable. thank u for listening

[gynspiration]

I hate this website because I heard “Thinking Out Loud” by Edward Sheeran and all I could think about was that one fucking video you know the one

You know what garbage Heroic Trope I am sick to death of?

“To defeat your enemy, who gets everything he wants because he’s evil, by being evil, and sees no consequences, you must sacrifice what little bit of happiness you have managed to find in your angst-ridden grimdark brooding hero journey.”

And nine times out of ten, that happy thing that has to be sacrificed is a woman. Especially a romantic relationship with a woman.

What I wouldn’t fucking give to see instead “To defeat your enemy, you need to grow the fuck up and act like an adult, communicate with the people around you, treat your significant other like an adult person capable of making their own choices and deserving of all the information and options actually available to them, and try to actually retain your humanity and hold on happiness/hope because what’s the fucking point otherwise.”

EPIPHANY MUSE

[I need an adult.]

Can we get some non-pervy adults in here?

 CRICKETS

 CRICKETS perv on Onion

 ORION

...I...I'm scared of b-bugs... make them stop...

 EPIPHANY grins

THIS WILL HAPPEN ON DoF, I SWEAR IT.

MOVIE ABOUT A PERSON WHO FALLS IN LOVE WITH DEATH AND CONTINUOUSLY COMMITS MURDER IN ORDER TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM UNTIL DEATH IS FINALLY LIKE “YOU ARE MAKING MY JOB SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT NEEDS TO BE LETS JUST GO OUT FOR A COFFEE OR SOMETHING JESUS FUCK”

"He took out both guns, held them stupidly, and sprayed a bunch of bullets at the party haphazardly."

we need corri's version to do the same thing with crossbows

and have him try to shoot Ghostryn and Penryn

Ghostryn: What the hell are you doing? I'm a GHOST. I'm ALREADY DEAD.

Penryn: I'm honestly more scared for the person next to me.

Fred: *gets shot*

OGV: I think that's enough failspraying for today. You're not Chameleon Man. You can't aim both of those things at once.

Dreg: ...Can I kill him now?

PolterSkyest: No! That's MY job!

Penryn: Excuse you, Skye. He shot at ME.

Fred: He missed you. He hit the lighting guy!

The Demifiend: Actually, I'd like to kill him, too.

Fred: Can someone pull this arrow out of me?

Ghostryn: Why? It's not like we have sex scenes anymore, so we really don't need a lighting guy.

Fred: I used to like you >=[

Epiphany: [Pulling out the arrow is inadvisable. It'll make you bleed more.]

Fred: If I die, I'm taking the lights with me.

Penryn: Good! It'll save on wardrobe design and makeup.

Ghostryn: Not to mention, it'll save the audience from Corri's and Pamie's faces.

Pamie: Th--that's not very nice! Bawwwwwwwww!

Epiphany: [Wait. I like Fred. Can't we just call the paramedics?]

Ghostryn: I wish we could, but Pamie's been prank calling them.

Pamie: They weren't prank calls! I was seriously injured!

Ghostryn: It was a paper cut!

Pamie: Yeah, but it was bleeding! And it really hurt!

Ghostryn: ANYWAY, now they won't take calls from the studio.

Epiphany: [. . . I'll call a guy I know.]

Ghostryn: By the way, Epiphany, that demonectomy thing? We're good.

Dreg: Can you legally marry a ghost?

Ghostryn: ...you married my sister, didn't you?

Dreg: I, uh, thought she was you?

Ghostryn: *facepalm*

Lena: Firstly, you're a pig. Secondly, if you thought Penryn was Evryn, aren't you still legally married?

Dreg: Oh, yeah...

Dante: So how many dead people do we have on this show, anyway?

Ghostryn: *bristles* We're about to have another one if you don't shut up, kitten-eater.

Torin: Hey! That's my brother you're threatening!

Ghostryn: Oh, I'm sorry. We're about to have another TWO.

Akuma: Bawwwwww, why do you want to genocide my family?!

Ghostryn: Because, like your word usage, the Enzeru clan needs to be taken out and shot.

Dreg: *ch-chk!*

OGV: NOT on this set! If you're going to shoot someone, take it outside.

Sigyn: Did someone say we're shooting Dante? grin emoticon

Penryn: Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA! Where the fuck did you come from?!

Sigyn: Oh, I got bored waiting out at sea, so I came back kiki emoticon

Akuma: But that's not right! The prophecy said you were supposed to wait sixty years!

Cin: Oh, for the love of Odin. THAT WAS A SONG, NOT A FUCKING PROPHECY. THERE WAS NOTHING PROPHETIC ABOUT IT! IT WAS JUST A SONG THE WRITER WROTE OUT OF DESPAIR WHEN SHE'D GIVEN UP ON HER CHARACTER'S CHANCES OF A HAPPY ENDING!

Sigyn: If you're watching this, Blair, thanks. Thanks a lot.

{black screen with words: I brought you back, didn't I?}

Akuma: How come HER characters get happy endings and Corri's all get dead?!

Ghostryn: AHEM.

Just Died In Your Arms (songfic stuff)

Tokiomi needs to sing this re: Dushedy While the girls and PolterSkyest just facepalm and shake their heads.

Gun Terms for Writers

As someone who writes fics with action sequences and the use of guns, I thought maybe it would be helpful to pass some things on. Even though I’ve done lots of research and talked with family members (I live in WI which is a big hunting state and we have lots of guns), I still catch myself making mistakes with specific terms and their usage. Reading more James Bond fics lately, I catch others making mistakes also. So here is a little guide to help writers. 

A ‘clip’ is something that stores multiple rounds of ammunition. It is not what you would insert into a handgun to load it. Clips make loading into a magazine easier because they simply store the rounds. It helps with organization. 

A magazine is what feeds the ammunition into the barrel. Magazines vary in capacity. They, unlike clips, are spring-loaded, which helps the ammunition move in the gun. So, when you want a character to reload, they would use a pre-loaded magazine, NOT a clip. 

A silencer is really a suppressor. ‘Silencer’ is a word that’s used in media to refer to a suppressor that doesn’t exist in real life. Guns that are suppressed will still be loud and have a sound. This is because compressed air will still leak out of the end of the barrel, you can’t silence a bullet moving extremely fast through the air, and you can’t silence the mechanical parts on a gun. There will be a noise, but it just won’t be as loud or more importantly, alert people in a nearby area that a gun was just fired. SO suppressor is a much more accurate term technically speaking. 

There are different kinds of suppressors. One important kind suppresses the muzzle flash. It’s likely a sniper would use this more than they would want to use a sound suppressor, as the muzzle flash more easily enables you to be spotted when you don’t want to be. These are simply referred to as flash suppressors. 

After a handgun runs out of ammunition, the slide will lock back into place and you will know that it is out. There is no ‘click’ signifying an empty weapon that is so dramatized in movies and tv. A more likely scenario that would prevent a gun from firing would be a jam. Or programming the gun to recognize certain palm prints. 

A great place for writers, in particular fanfic writers, who want information on guns is imfdb. You can find out what guns are used in movies and shows, and what guns characters use. You can also just search for guns. 

If you want to get really specific, check out YouTube. There are users who will post reviews of guns on there, which can be really helpful if you want to see how a particular gun looks or how to shoot it. 

So yeah! Here are just a few basic tips if you want to write a fic where a character uses guns.

we need to have Akuma enter covered in glitter and have someone sarcastically remark, "And what pain upon you so sparkles?"

Followup from this:

Seri Muse: Oh I am so getting myself abducted and starting a war, just out of SPITE  Cin: Geeet back here. Seri: Fine... *grumble*

Later: Seri: Why can't I go get kidnapped and start a war?

Penryn: Because war's expensive!

Seri: Jeez, you really are OVD's daughter. *grumble*

Dante’s Plotline (ssn. 5)

Aaaaand my friends and I have come up with a better, non-violent alternative: He should be forced to start a relationship with one of Corri’s Sues (who is actually just hired by Epiphany and/or Eugenie, and her name shall be Serimu). Every single week, he should have to save Serimu from peril. If he fails, he should have to endure two hours of Serimu ranting about how he didn’t care enough to save her, followed by two hours of lurid descriptions of the peril, followed by two hours of horribly-written sex scenes with overly-cloying declarations of love. And every time he tries to rebel, he should get a magical electric shock in the brain that makes him dizzy for the rest of the night. Then, just as he’s un-dizzying, Serimu should faint or be dragged of or run out crying and be replaced with another sock puppet accusing him of not doing well enough. And the kicker? He should ACTUALLY fall in love with Serimu but have nothing ever be good enough! 

As Piffy puts it, he’s forced to be a sucky Lee Expy in a parody of a parody series, and gets Stockholm Syndrome while he’s at it.

(and Illybrius will look up from Mother Maiden’s abode and say, “Alright, I get why he’s going through all of this, but what the hell did *I* do to deserve it?) (and Faye Leigh is all, “Ha-ha, you suck! All I had to do was make the Grim Reaper a sandwich!”) EPIPHANY [What does it say about our show that, WITHIN this show, doing the same stuff the guy who was ostensibly the male lead for the first couple seasons was doing during those seasons is being used as a karmic punishment?] PENRYN It means Berserker McRapeypants is a terrible person, but this [insert humourous censor-noises here] is even worse.

MARTY GRAW THE DEMON HUNTER What fucking shitballs from a hell-monkey’s ass came out of YOUR cock-spewing mouth, that our dingleberry censors FINALLY decided to be of some crap-swallowing use on this twatmongering show? PENRYN, glowering Something very appropriate and fitting, I can assure you.

[gynspiration]

AWRIGHT! In season 5 or 6, we will be having a war! Serimu will get herself kidnapped-- and I do mean she'll be planning it, yes-- JUST to spite DuShédy, who will then instigate a war with the realm whose denizen "kidnaps" Seri! And the in-metaverse producers will be sending DuShédy the bill, because war is expensive~
