Sorry if this is really old but I was wondering if you completed that comic about Vi and gender?

oh heck that IS really old!!! i never posted it?? i really appreciate someone is still waiting for it. it feels nice to know someone likes my art!!!!!!

here anon, for you

is not this huge poetic piece about gender or anything, is just that Vi reminds me of myself when I was her age so I projected some gender stuff onto her. dysphoria! and also just some nice stuff about Kabbu and Leif supporting her

Why be part of one fandom when you can constantly jump between a couple of them?

Decided to play bug fables again sooo made some sketches during my hard mode play through. Oh and here's a bonus (wonky) Leif I crocheted a couple of months back:

@jelloapocalypse just finished a fully-voiced playthrough of Bug Fables, which was already good before it introduced Randy, the Home-Depot-garden-section-employee-turned-isekai-victim-turned-zombie-mushroom-turned-party-member-somehow. Leif hates this and I can't get enough.

Hey guys, not a Seedling post but a PSA here. Recently, a batch of counterfeit medals have started circulating on the market, and wearing them causes terrible health complications. Four bugs have already been hospitalized from this. So just a reminder: ONLY buy medals from verifiable, reputable sources, for your own sake. Stay safe out there everyone.

Very sorry, but I think I just asked you a follow up question on this blog when the original question was on your other blog (I'm almost certain seven-oh-four.tumblr.com is you). Once again, I apologize.

i don’t have enough evidence to make this an actual big post but i still wanted to put it out into the wild, but honestly ever since approaching (some of) bug fables’ world from the perspective of underspecification, i’ve been much less frustrated with it. it’s also fun to contrast the underspecification of bug fables’ world with the inference heavy world of hollow knight.

what i mean by underspecification is the deliberate act of saying something while leaving out certain aspects that are assumed to be common knowledge. one of the more prominent examples i can think of is eggs; when you say ‘egg,’ it’s almost always understood that you mean chicken eggs, and not duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, or even turtle eggs. this is because of the high prevalence of using chicken eggs in recipes due to the domestication of chickens, and so saying ‘chicken egg’ is redundant unless more than one type of egg is used. in contrast, inference is when there is no shared knowledge, but there are clues in what is said or in the environment that point to a certain fact.

in the context of bug fables, i find the idea of underspecification to be particularly useful with the world of the four kingdoms. i’ve wondered for a while now why the ant kingdom is so catered to what team snakemouth needs as an explorer team, while none of the rest of the ant kingdom is shown; for a kingdom supposedly as great and as prosperous as the ant kingdom is, we do not see any sprawling residential areas, nor a schooling area (ann isn’t even in school, and apparently never is), nor even a graveyard to bury the dead. none of the hallmarks of settlements seem to be accessible to team snakemouth. but when i look at this from the perspective of underspecification, it both makes more sense and is more interesting than criticizing an indie dev team for what they likely did not have the time and budget to make. we do not have access to the broader residential area, the schoolyard, the graveyard, and other parts of the ant kingdom because team snakemouth already knows where they are, and there is no need to point it out. they have no need to wander in the residential area because there is nothing they need there. they have no need to go to the schoolyard because it’s not relevant to their mission. it would be nice to have that option as a player, but to team snakemouth, everyone already knows where all of these locations are, so why point them out? it would be redundant and weird.

conversely, in hollow knight, the knight is not presented as a local resident of the area. they do not know hallownest or anything about the general area. though not all information is freely given to them, there are aspects of the environment that do allow them to piece together the history of hallownest, particularly with areas like the white palace. so underspecification isn’t particularly useful here since there’s no shared knowledge, but there is a lot you can infer from.

this is messy but idk, the concept of underspecification is fascinating. i think it’s more fun to work with than the alternative.
