A-anime?
you know, sometimes I forget that Twst is actually an isekai that starts with the protagonist getting run over by an inexplicable horse-drawn carriage. and every time I'm reminded is a delight because that's AMAZING.
also. look. okay. there's a lot of very fun stuff in the trailer but I am obsessed with that Crowley surprised pikachu face. me when I spend all my keys and gems literally hours before they announce overblot SSRs and drop the anime trailer:
#twisted wonderland#twst anime#<- gonna use that for anime stuff in case anyone wishes to filter it#this is the point where i once again have to admit that i have not really read the manga#(i've liked what i've seen but it's very hard for me to keep up with stuff a lot of the time)#(the anime may actually be easier for me to absorb it in :')#god i GOTTA draw the manga yuus#i kept meaning to when yuuna got revealed but i didn't get around to it before 7-13 ate my brain 😭#anyway the bits they chose for the trailer are pretty interesting to me!#like i think chances are good it was mostly from that one sequence because given the timeline#they probably don't have a ton of 100% finished post-comp footage yet so they probably just took what they have#but also i'm thinking back to how deliberately vague all the game promo stuff was#and...okay again i don't really know how they did it in the manga but i am reminded of how overblotting was actually like. a twist.#a twst twist#like we were introduced to it in the prologue with the mine phantom#but riddle's overblot was an actual SURPRISE and like. an instant reveal that okay THIS is what the story's gonna be about#so i'm just kinda wondering if the anime promos might also like...actively try not to spoil everything#or if they're gonna go full anime-intro 'here's all the super spoilery scenes you can expect to see :)'#basically is the marketing gonna skew towards new viewers or established fans. both valid i'm just curious!#also excuse me for a moment as i reveal myself as a hugely pretentious snob but#oh my god the backgrounds actually have some texture and shape and are taking style cues from the game backgrounds#oh my god the castle exterior actually looks illustrative and fantastic and isn't just a 3d model they plopped in#it's hard to tell at this point how consistent that'll be since most of the trailer is in the mirror chamber#but i'm just SO happy to see it! hopefully this means they weren't crunched to fuck and are able to really go ham#(the pre-isekai scenes all look more generic modern anime so like...is that a conscious artistic choice they made)#(because that would be incredible. holy shit.)

Happy Birthday to Fallen London; My favourite British people beefing it with bats simulator.
#fallen london#ambition: nemesis#mr.cups#the grey mourner#Happy belated birthday to me: I finished my Nemesis ambition. I get to make a fun comic about it. THAT WAS THE DEAL!!!#...Is what I would have said had I not spent *four* days trying to draw a cool dramatic comic. This is all I have to show for it.#I also missed posting this on the Flondon anniversary so I'm double Smad and frustippointed at myself.#This is niche content but I know there are flondoners following me who will understand.#I had to make a second account because all my friends who I played with *also* picked Nemesis and dropped the game at various gates.#I failed every possible check at Knifegate. I was on the verge of madness. And yet I still love this game.#Little known secret about me: over 70% of the blogs I follow on tumblr are flondon rp blogs.#The cool art and character lore brings me a lot of joy!#With that said; what the hell is the coincidence that right as I finish Nemesis -#The flondon community starts a Nemesis Race.#Guys. it’s not worth it. It is a revenge quest about losing everything you have to see your task through.#All to culminate in the discovering that you are beefing it with a fanfiction writing bat.#That said; I do feel like this story was very satisfying for my melancholic doctor.#I knew I would get the choice between sparing or killing my nemesis (the bat) and I had a long time to think it through.#Someone who wants to save lives and (does as much as possible to do make things better for others) choosing against mercy?#Someone who never permitted themselves to let the city truly become a home because they were not a person - they were a tool for grief.#Alright..Yeah the ending was really good.#I will be back with a part two. Clearly I'm tenacious enough to commit to what I started.#If I am not excommunicated on sight by the flondon community I will be back with comics for the other ambitions.

So heres the thing about Dredge.
I think its a huge missed opportunity that the main character is the husband and not the wife.
the backstory doesnt come out fully until the end, but when it does, what you learn is this:
some amount of time ago, the player character was married. over the course of the game, you pick up notes from a woman, and at the end you learn that she was your wife.
*was*, because Cthulhu ate her.
you were a fisherman, and obsessed with the ocean, and she was not. you were superstitious, and she was not. And one day, she messed up and did something unlucky, and then she was lost at sea one night when she was on your boat.
it fucks you up so bad that you lose all your memory and end the world trying to save her.
so, obviously you're torn up about her, but also, it kinda didn't have anything to do with you. She fucked up and she got got. whoops! Oh well. It also didn't change very much about you: you're still a superstitious fisherman obsessed with the sea, except you're sad now.
But if you were the wife? If he died instead?
you were happily newlywed, but if you had one issue with your husband, it was that he was too married to the sea. He was too obsessed with fishing. He liked his boat too much, and he had all these sailor superstitions that you don't take seriously.
then one day, you ignore his superstitions. and a horrible eldritch force that you've never even dreamed of KILLS HIM.
your husband is DEAD and it is YOUR FAULT.
and it breaks you. So much that you take his boat, set sail, and spend your life at sea. Just like him. Embroiled in superstition and ocean magic. Just like him. Just like your least favorite parts about him. and you spend the rest of your life trying to undo the horrible thing you did, and only ever manage to end the world.
wouldn't that be so much fun?
#dredge#dredge spoilers#dredge game#i like this game but i do really think this would make the story more compelling#the inciting incident of the game... in the end it just doesnt have a lot to do w the main character and i think thats a missed opportunity#and ok its not like the backstory is that hugely important to the experience. it comes up very little until right at the end#but i think it could be *tastier*#for the void#ngl i first wrote this post like a year ago and every few months i come back and completely rewrite it#so im dusting it off and posting it finally since im clearly not going to stop thinking about it

honestly the older ive gotten the more ive become disillusioned with 'xyz white character but now they're brown!' and it sucks because i absolutely do not mean it in the usual 'weh weh making everything woke' way but rather that many people who seek to diversify casts of mostly white/pale people never think through the cultural implications of what they're penning down yknow. like to be honest if you just pick up a white character and go 'theyre brown now look at my awesome redesign' i kind of feel nothing because textually that is just a white person wearing the skin of a poc and it's not like. representation. at worst it gets straight up tokenising. maybe it's just because it's actually very easy to find 'diverse' media that is not written by some white dude that is writing every character from the perspective of a white dude (there are so many brown characters that just read as white because the author does not put any effort into distinguishing lived experiences) and i find it much more fulfilling to take somewhat underdeveloped characters that are clearly meant to be ethnic and rightfully elaborate on them rather than slap a stamp of approval on some white guy. Not to mention the fact that sometimes a character being white is actually very informative of their place in society and their inherited cultural bigotry but then people turn around and contradict that which is like, not something i'm critiquing from a "how dare you ruin this white character" standpoint but from a "you have to make very convoluted steps and bounds to explain why this brown character acts like a white bigot and it quickly gets very uncomfortable" one. yknow. and tangentially i think the same thing with people randomly headcanoning characters as trans. like sure you want to project but sometimes i think its worth asking yourself 'is this character a critique of cis white men and how does making them marginalised change the implications'. like people can have their fun but damn man sometimes it just gets in the way. does that make sense.
#very long post i have a lot of thoughts on this#like believe me sometimes im torn on this too! like i constantly think about a minor trend back in the day#that was like. oh lets make bachelor from patho central asian and its like. well being some russian white dude is fundamental to his#eagerness to be a coloniser and it directly ties into how the actual Textual indigenous people in the game are treated#and on one hand i think it cheapens everything about daniil and most importantly the poc in the actual story of patho#and the obvious thing to say about this as a general topic is like. obviously anyone can be racist. but its inherently different from a#non white standpoint. and people never accommodate for that. and sometimes i think accommodating for it#is so far removed from the initial point of a narrative that you might as well just save your points for an original story#DOES THAT MAKE SENSE. whatever.#.mid

Aftg Hunger Games au with Jean as Katniss because in the end Elodie dies anyway
#Kevin as Gale and Jeremy as Peeta#do you see the vision#the rest of the characters can be loosely based and even have their stories played with a bit#like maybe Kevin lived in the Capitol for a while before running away because he heard Jean’s district was where his father was#but do you seeeeeeee it#anyway I’m going back to sleep now bc it’s 4am#oh and the au is All For The Hunger Games#and Jeremy’s family are the mayoral family and while Jeremy is struggling with using that’s when Noah gets picked but because of Bryson and#Annalise’s accident they can’t volunteer so everyone expects Jeremy to and he doesn’t and Noah ends it right off the bat by stepping off#the pedestal. Jeremy’s using gets worse before the forced therapy and everything#but he’s always seen Jean around and always been kind to him—tosses him a loaf or does some equivalent of that idk#and then post hunger games he relapses and Rhemman (Hamich) who’s always been somewhat close to Jeremy sees what’s happening and decides#that it’s hypocritical but he’s got to help this kid. so he and Jeremy help each other to overcome their addictions#and maybe Jeremy’s family demand a huge share of his winnings claiming it’s the least he can do for all the grief he’s brought to them#Hunger Games aus are just so brilliant to write hcs for#aftg#tsc#trc#the hunger games au#Jeremy Knox#Jean Moreau#elodie moreau#noah wilshire#noah knox#james rhemann

No spoilers, but Sunrise on the Reaping has some of the most insane lore drops I've ever read and I'm only 7 chapters in.
Suzanne Collins, no one will ever be able to touch you.
To perfectly balance Easter eggs and connecting together four different books from two different periods of time while still making sure the story stands on it's own and delivers its biting and all too real critique of current events?
Bow down to the queen.
#the hunger games#sunrise on the reaping#thg#suzanne collins#haymitch abernathy#sunrise on the reaping spoilers#not really but I just want to be on the safe side#once this book has been out for long enough I'll do a super in depth analysis of it in connection to the other books#and it's themes in relation to current American politics#which is wild because she wrote this before he became president#but if she didn't completely and totally call what would happen#and the use of propaganda#and the way he uses fear to control people into not fighting back#and is slowly stripping us of our rights#convincing average people that somehow the wealthy and powerful know best#when that couldn't be further from the truth#if you don't see Tr*mp and El*n and the Republican party as the evil Capitol dictators they are then you're an idiot#you cannot support those people and be a Hunger Games fan#they are the evil the Hunger Games has been warning us about for 17 years#end of story#my post

BG3 has taken over my personal life haha so here's a sketch dump of my Tav! She's a half-elf Rogue with a Sage background. I wanted to go for an archeologist/explorer background - like a mix of Evelyn and Rick from The Mummy :)! I stole lots of paintings and it always made me laugh the animation of Tav stuffing a huge painting into her inventory so I had to do a comic of her actually trying to sneak one out haha
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gale dekarios#gale x tav#astarion ancunin#bg3 astarion#bg3 gale#bg3 raphael#her name is Layla :) it was fun to come up with a background for her but basically she's studying Netheril and netherese artifacts!#I don't know a lot about Baldur's Gate or DnD but I had a lot of fun! And want to know more!#And it's been fun trying to figure out how to draw the characters!#and i love a wizard especially a dorky one XD#I already started another game with a different character haha but I have a soft place in my heart for Layla and the story I made for her :#my art#my fanart#digital art#i haven't posted in ages but I have been drawing! I just need to get back into posting more regularly!

Replaying pmd (modded, obviously) and man. I love the tonal dissonance between the art and gameplay in this series, lol
Also this guy exists
#art#Pmd#Vulpix#Zoura#Wooper#Feels a little... sacrilegious to play this game again as different Pokémon ngl. My first team was so special to me#But also. This couple is so cute---#And the artist for the zoura portraits absolutely nailed it. Makes me wanna get back into pmd profile creation#The mod is kinda meh. It's focus is just pmd with more Pokémon + fairy type. The base game is definitely balanced better#This game needs more qol mods than anything tbh lmfao. But whatever my team is cute and the story is goofy as ever#Pokémon#Been making and posting a lot of art on my side blog btw. Mostly oc things

I never actually explained why I started playing the Silent Hill 2 remake. As many people have pointed out, it is an absolutely wild choice (complex, difficult, scary, LONG) for my first video game. (I’m a mobile gamer, I wasn’t allowed to play video games as a kid, etc.)
Since Jacksepticeye has come back to Tumblr, I’ll be a dork and say that I became a big fan of his channel over the last couple of years, and I started watching game playthroughs generally to wind down at night. I’ll basically watch anything he plays, and in October, he played the new remake. I was maybe 20 when the original came out, but I didn’t know shit about Silent Hill. Something about Pyramid Head, The Scariest Games Ever, not really my thing, but sure. I started watching and... didn’t really get into it. Planets weren’t aligned that day, idk. I let it keep running, went on to the second video, and then we hit THIS scene:
youtube
That music comes in out of NOWHERE like strong perfume and I was like, what the fuck is this game, why is the acting so good, what is HAPPENING, I love it.
For several weeks, I was obsessed with the Akira Yamaoka soundtrack (both versions) and the story. The Actual Autism fully kicked in, and it was better than dealing with the rest of November 2024. I watched multiple people play the game, learned everything about it, didn’t care about the combat, never thought I’d play it myself.
And then, two months into this... I kinda... I kinda wanted to fight a leg monster. A mannequin. THEY ARE SO SASSY AND THEY’RE SMART despite having no heads. I wanted to engage in noble fisticuffs (anklicuffs?) with these things. I am proud to say that I have gone from getting stuck in the parking lot on day one to actually being really good at fighting mannequins. (It’s the lying figures that get me. Fucking splash-damage motherfuckers.) Over ten hours of practice play in the first three levels of the game, I’ve only died twice so far (and both times were when the game BOXED ME IN and swarmed me with vomit monsters. Rude).
So anyway, I decided to play the game, and @idoherty451 and I started discussing it in excessive depth, and now I want to do a text commentary for sure, and a video gameplay (voice) commentary if I can get that up and running; I already have some rough reaction audio that I've been posting. I just want all this (and the software I’m learning) to be a new set of tools in my “having fun discussing media” box, really. That said, I don’t know how far I’ll actually take the practice run, now that it’s fulfilled its purpose and I’ve diagnosed that my hapless ass needs to be on light combat. I’ve even played South Vale 2-3 times to develop basic skills! I’m doing so good! So it’s helped to do a first run, get through “I’m lost for half an hour” snarls, and practice moving the camera more smoothly. I may leave off with playing ahead before I get to the last two bosses years from now at this rate and let y’all see that happen, for better or worse, without any prep.
The whole premise here is that I want to walk through the game and talk about all the lore and easter eggs and theories I’ve learned about. It will be the opposite of spoiler-free (minus That One Big Thing I won’t give away). If you would like to watch spoiler-free playthroughs of this long-ass game, I also recommend Marz (new to the franchise) and Gab Smolders (huge OG fan).
Anyway, this is what I’ll be doing tomorrow while actively ignoring U.S. politics. James Sunderland has some very specific problems, and unlike mine, he can hit most of them with a steel pipe. Wish me luck with Pyramid Head.
#sh2r playthrough#sometimes I feel really shy about saying I like something and being Perceived#which is real fuckin' useful for someone who writes about things they like#ANYWAY#that's the back story for my wild-ass choice of first game#video#gaming#long post
