i was goofing around with clip studio paint models and i am not sure what happened between point a and point b

[mixed-up-metaphors]

this started as eye practice and as usual devolved into nonsense

I think the people should know. What are the Top Five Cool Things about each of your hyperfixations, and why should we play them?

*cracks knuckles* Metaphor: ReFantazio (i haven't actually finished this one so consider this an incomplete list)

FOUND FAMILY ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!

YOU CAN COOK WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!

heismay is the sad old man adopts lost children trope and i will die on this hill

medieval rapping (see Pringus McDingus' video)

highly breakable. imagine giving the iron wall of your team healing skills

Why You Should Play It: can't speak for the plot as i haven't finished it but overall very enjoyable experience thus far. i like almost all the characters a lot, which is rare for me. several of them have surprised me. also fun gameplay!!

Persona Five (Royal)

ASETHETIC. SLAPS

MUSIC. SLAPS (beneath the mask and the songs for the spoiler royal dungeon live rent free in my mind, among others)

yusuke.

i want to hug. All of them (ryuji :( )

FOUND FAMILY!!!

Why You Should Play It:

found family team of traumatized misfits go on adventures and also stop some corrupt people along the way. i especially love the base final boss (yabbadabbadoo?), the preceding cutscenes, and its trope inversion. there are also...certain plot twists, especially in Royal's DLC that were a fantastic gut punch.

Persona Four (Golden)

some of the story's later arcs took a steel chair to my emotions and went ham. (the seventh dungeon especially)

a seven year old somehow manages to found family someone who is already biologically related to her as a cousin into being her older brother. How. What is this power.

i love some of the more ominous, melancholy or somber tracks in this game (favorite examples include this one, this one, and ESPECIALLY this one)

the whole ost slaps for that matter, heartbeat heartbreak hhnNghhHG

this one's found family to me too and i will also die on this hill (excepting maybe Kanji and Naoto my beloved, i do ship them a little)

Why You Should Play It: same reasons as P5(R) but murder mystery this time. characters feel a bit more interconnected than P5's, and i found the plot and storyline very impactful and meaningful. also, you can fight people with household items such as a guitar, a steel chair, fish, corn on the cob, a tambourine, roller skates. by contrast, there is exactly one character who uses almost exclusively actual weapons and placing said character amidst the household item wielding ones makes for some very funny disparity.

(i have yet to play persona 3 reload but it is next on my list and i predict it is going to be my favorite of the persona games. stay tuned lol)

FE:3H

i think all of the story's paths have a unique perspective and i enjoyed all of them (though i can't speak for SS, never played it). i admit readily though that AM will forever be my favorite as i find it deals most directly with themes like loss, regret/shame/guilt, forgiveness and facing the past, which are all favorite themes of mine.

i want to protect and adopt every character in this game forever

all of the games i've listed thus far have fantastic voice acting but 3H especially stands out to me in this department. i could go on for a while on this one.

YOU CAN COOK MEALS WITH YOUR STUDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BONDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INTER-CHARACTER SUPPORTS!!!!!!!!!! I CAN WATCH MY BELOVED GOOFY GOOBERS DO SILLY THINGS WITH EACH OTHER!!! or watch them cry with each other but hey i mean tomato tomahto

Why You Should Play It: admittedly, i don't think this is really the reason most people enjoy the game, but i personally loved going through the game like it was my solemn duty to protect and care for every student i was teaching. recruiting them read as a matter of life and death to me so i approached it with a certain ferocity. 3H is sort of an RPG/5D-Rock-Paper-Scissors-Chess/Optional Dating Sim(??) so there's probably something for everyone. i ESPECIALLY love relationships between all the characters, Caspar/Linhardt, Raphael/Ignatz and Dimitri/Dedue/Ashe are easily my favorites but there are so so many others to enjoy here too. also you can class characters as something that is wildly unfitting for them. SHOULD Hubert be a brawler? probably not, given that the man has the physical strength of a soggy napkin, but you can train him to do so!!

i think that about sums it up!! thank u maude for the question!!

[mixed-up-metaphors]

weird practice doodle comic thing idk 1/2

(second part is over here, had to break it in two due to length lollllll)

eh idk man i make doodle ""comics"""""" to practice getting faces right OR because there is an idea plaguing me that will eat my brain if i don't draw it (bonus basic art practice included!) and well idk i went ham this has stunted dialogue and i feel it strays further from """canon"" than i intended but oh well!

uh anyway here i don't know how to introduce this. about a month ago i realized ashe and dimitri both have problems relating to ghosts in a weird hardly related sort of way and well now i can't stop thinking about it and blowing it out of proportion so i scribbled out this...thing lol
