Other news from the BL world

❗️ The production company Studio WabiSabi announced that their actors Boun N., Prem W., Santa P., Sammy C., Yacht P. and Stamp P. have terminated their contracts and will no longer be artists under the company on April 15th. Shortly after, GMMTV announced the 6 of them as newly signed artists, along with the disclosure that BounPrem's upcoming BL Vampire Project is now being produced under GMMTV, who now also own all broadcasting rights; WabiSabi will function as a co-producer. New S. stated on Twitter that the decisions had been long in the making, as well as the fact that WabiSabi no longer functions as a management agency for actors and is now a mere production company. He also denied the rumors that the company is shutting down. Shortly after the transfer of the Wabi Sabi actors, actor Fluke Jeeratch (formerly Pongsakorn) joined GMMTV as well.

❗️ The Filipino BL Gameboys is getting a third season. An air date has not been confirmed.

❗️ P Ekkapop and Pan Jirachot, the lead actors from Kiseki Chapter 2, have announced a new project together. Details are unknown.

❗️ Actor Barcode Tinnasit has announced his departure from his agency Be On Cloud.

❗️ After some confusion, the Korean production company Studio X+U announced that their upcoming series Fragile - which was initially advertized as a Korean SKAM remake - is in fact not connected to the Norwegian web series and is instead a standalone series, which focuses on the life of a group of teenagers. According to ZUM News, there was supposed to be a Korean SKAM remake based on the Norwegian original, which was however cancelled due to unknown reasons. Fragile was created as a substitution.

for pokemon reviews, have you done diglett/dugtrio and their alolan forms?

Diglett is what I'd consider to be a quintessential Gen 1 design—no frills, barely any detail, just a wack-a-mole creature with a face. Visually, it's honestly pretty bland, but it helps compensate for this with its "gimmick", if you can call it that: you never see its entire body, with it being perpetually stuck half underground at all times. What the lower body even looks like is a meme in and of itself, even referenced by PMD:

However, I'd also consider this a result of Gen 1 design, and not in a good way this time. Diglett poking halfway out of the ground worked fine on a Gameboy game, because there were no backgrounds, or anything you could define as "ground" in general. But in recent games, Diglett and its dirt keep being rendered as separate from the ground, which really kills the entire concept. I'm not a game dev, but shouldn't it be possible to make it so the dirt part of Diglett's model automatically picks up the ground texture of wherever it spawns? It's 2024, I feel like we can do better than this. Or hell, just don't model in the dirt mound at all if that's too hard to do.

I'm not really that big on Dugtrio, just because this style of "copy/paste the same Pokemon twice" is... well, pretty boring. I'm not even opposed to the idea of multiplying Diglett to evolve it (it kind of ties back into the wack-a-mole thing, and really, what else would you do with it), but the design could've changed more in the process—different faces/expressions, different colors, different body lengths, that kind of thing.

For example, when their lookalikes Wiglett evolve, they change their position relative to the ground, change color, and change facial proportion. It's not a lot, but it's enough to differentiate the two, which is what I feel is missing here.

Speaking of being boring, Alolan Diglett is mostly just regular Diglett but with three blond hairs added. To its credit, I do get what they were going for progression-wise here, and it does change as much as it can about the base design; different, much more saturated colors and dark gray dirk and rocks resembling that of the volcanic minerals in a place like Alola, which is a nice touch. Still, I feel like you could've just skipped this one and done the Cubone thing, with regular Diglett just evolving straight into Alolan Dugtrio, and not really lost much.

I do find myself liking Alolan Dugtrio just a little more than the original. This might be a hot take, but if the original is going to be slightly silly, I'd rather just take the version that goes all the way with the silly. It also fixes the progression issue I had with regular Dugtrio, changing A. Diglett's individual hairs into long flowing surfer-dude manes.

As alluded to in the 'dex, the "hair" here isn't hair at all, but actually metallic whiskers. This in turn is a nod to Pele's hair, a type of volcanic formation found in Hawai'i, which is technically not also hair but is actually glass.

I like this concept, but at the same time, something about the line never quite sat 100% right with me. I think it's because Pele's hair doesn't really have anything to do with the Diglett line to begin with (I thought it maybe formed on the ground, but from what I understand it's actually partially airborne). Like, A. Marrowak turns into a fire dancer because of the bone, A. Vulpix is an arctic fox, G. Corsola is bleached coral, etc. Whether it be visually or conceptually, there's generally a connection between the original 'mon and the new theme, whereas here it just feels kind of random. You could technically slap that hair on any Pokemon and have it make as much sense, though it at least fits Dugtrio from a visual standpoint.

As a whole, Diglett is a fun 'mon with standard visuals but a neat visual quirk, even if it doesn't translate well into the games. Dugtrio is fairly bland, A. Diglett is fine but still kind of bland, and A. Dugtrio at least cranks the silliness up to 100.

Between all three Diglett and Diglett-related 'mons, I think I like Wiglett the best; it's a little plain and could've gotten the eel thing across better, but it has a fitting concept and evolves in a distinct way, which is something I like the actual Diglett line is lacking a bit.

I like how “thicker than” mc can have such high rizz(managed to hook up with tracy,freya and minjo in a single run. Dont ask me how, it just happened everyone is hot) but is such a genuine girlfailure.

Them being like “I flirt cuz its a coping mechanism…..wait are they flirting back?!?!? Holy shit I didnt think this far ahead!!”

Homegirl has no idea wtf is happening 24/7 like “what do you mean Ive been dead and mind controlled for 5 years and now Im chosen to become the head of an entire domain with a creepy vampire child who plays a gameboy as my boss??? I WORK A 9-5 THE FUCK”

Also WHY IS EVERYONE HOT!!! I CANT CHOOSE A SINGLE PERSON TO ROMANCE CUZ I LOVE ALL OF THEM

Minjo appeared in the later chapters and I immediately went “babygirl I can treat you so right. Give me a chance plssss” the way she so down to flirt has me in a chokehold

This just in: Local vampire only realises she's hot after she's dead. Still not entirely sure what's going on, but enjoying the company of sexy ladies. More at eleven.

The Preferable Alternative- Prologue - Part 1

Start (you are here) - Previous (none) - Next

New au. I can't explain the main thought behind this without spoilers. And since i'm jumping straight into a multi-part comic, i won't be giving out any.

Basically vibes for this is that it's kinda creepy and maybe suspenseful with eventual hurt/comfort (if that doesn't make sense, im sorry, i have a hard time describing things). I'm also pretty mean to Donnie. Not "Donnie vs" mean, but unfortunately this idea wouldn't work with anyone else.

(for those that get anxious, like me. There is no main character death. (might not be death at all but we shall see. that depends on one character and even i'm not sure exactly what they'd do yet.) and no one's gets serious physical injuries. Definitely more hurt/comfort than plain angst. b/c that's how i roll. I can't do straight up angst.)

I'll write a proper summery once the prologue's done. I don't want to spoil it too much. For now, just know it's a PB&J duo story that happens during the 6 weeks before the Krang invasion.

[almondcroissantsandink]

so I heard there’s a non-canon RE game where a shapeshifter switches places with Leon and that sounds like a very scary plot point they should stick in one of the main games because WHAT 

[mazzystar24]

If anyone is wondering what Buck’s “like sea monkeys” comment is about:

Sea monkeys are the advertising name for brine shrimp which were sold basically as a sorta toy where you get three pooches (one of the eggs, one of nutrients, one of dye) and you pour it in and then you get these weird looking creatures

But the reason for bucks comment is that sea monkeys are actually an artificial breed made from hybridisation and they hatch from eggs that can remain dormant for years until exposed to water

So yeah Eddie😌like sea monkeys😌

Let the man cook next time🫡

[quicksilverdaisyday]

QUICK QUESTION!! do the lil turtl babis have any favorite sibs?? or things?? IDK JUST TLEL ME ABOUT THEM A

They don't really have favorites but these are some duos that spend more time with each other in general

- Uno and Moja

- Yi and Odyn

- Yi and Moja

Some of their favorite things:

- Odyn loves helping Mikey cook! Also it's a win because he gets to spend more time with his dad! His favorite things are getting kitchen supplies that are cute looking (he loves nessie the soup ladle).

- Yi's favorite thing is her fanny pack! she got one from Mikey so she could carry her tools around (She gets an actual tool belt growing up but when younger her funky hot pink fanny pack was the best thing ever)

- Moja's favorite thing in the world it's the vinyl player Mikey got her in one of their birthdays. It's a deep cherry red and it always carries a little post it note that says "YI DO NOT TOUCH IT ".

- Uno's favorite thing is his vintage™ nintendo switch lmao.

Happy (Late)9/9 Day!!

(Have the two nines interacting. Poor Donnie is so lost on Fred’s slang.) Fred prefers the company of animals to people/humanoids so their convo goes like this: Fred to Dilly: So rumors been going around that a duck took a crap on the establishment? Dilly: Quack. Fred: Heh. Metal, I salute you.

I'm really on a Legend of Zelda hyperfixation lately.....After Legend of Zelda 1986, and Zelda II : The Adventure of Link, I'm playing A Link to the Past.

And I'm having so much fun

[gregspectations]

I just think little Shiv was made of 80% rage

[grimmjowjaegerjaquez]

i still think about the idea of nart sequels but taking place in villages besides fucking konoha. let me see in depth the war crimes of the other kages, please.

[ladyraspberry-2540]

That's what you get for killing my Seaking! >:(

Filled black dots mean just that, that you've done enough damage to knock out your opponent, each represents 10 HP!

The game is Pokémon TCG (yes, I was also surprised that there exists a console version of it hehehe). I like it's very simple but pleasant colour scheme and illustrations ^^

[risingsunresistance]

feels weird to not have much to post, i feel like i basically disappeared off social media compared to how i used to post but. there is simultaneously so much going on (things that are boring/heavy and not fun to post about) and nothing at all going on (i have not been able to play anything very much and havent been watching anything besides random documentaries i stumble across), leading to me having nothing to say lmao

i did finally write down a bunch of hypixel worldbuilding headcanon junk instead of having it only be word-of-mouth between me and ark lol. only 1700 words, i can do better 👍 it was literally only about admin magic, what exactly it means to "hack," what a server is, and limbo kjgfhk. i might make a big post about the limbo section one day :]
