i don't think it's wrong or bad to feel positively about your ocs but i think as a person i am incompatible with anyone who unironically describes their own oc with things like "cinnamon roll", "sweet angel", "innocent baby boy", or other descriptors that aim to introduce their character as intentionally endearing. if you say "check out my stinky little freak" and then show me a good-natured dumbass i trust you immediately.

Vanilla Gpose Tips

I get asked occasionally how I make my screenshots if I'm not using shaders or mods. The short answer: Patience. Gpose's suite of tools is a lot more robust than it used to be when it was first released. But if you want a screenshot to really shine without using third party add-ons, it's not something you can just go into gpose, take a printscreen and get back out. You might capture a moment with nice lighting that way, but it takes more than that. 1. Choosing a location and time of day is job one. What kind of mood are you trying to convey? Does your intended screenshot have a theme (or a prompt?) or are you just looking at your new glam and marveling at how fine your character looks in it? Does a lighter or darker setting suit the character better? Setting, time of day, and weather can affect this. 2. You can stop time and weather from changing. I keep this on by default because it can take upwards of 30 minutes IRL to fine tune a screenshot. The middle button below. Make sure it's highlighted.

3. Toggle battle effects on/off. It's the button right next to the time/weather stop, the icon of the guy holding the sword. If the icon is highlighted as it is in the screenshot, your battle effects are on. If you want to capture pure motion and not worry about battle effects, turn this off. 4. Wet effect. Use it, use it, use it. It doesn't just make clothes look wet and make skin glossy, it actually helps to bring out texture and detail on the character's outfit. Especially since the graphics updates in 7.1. I've found it also adds shine to hair and can help the eyes stand out more.

5. Sticker Mode. Yes, there are oodles of cute minion stickers, flags, and numbers, but there are also some great effects to be found in the Decorations category! Sparkles and twinkles, lens flare, among other things can help enhance metallic points on a glamour, AND they can be resized! So if you want a more subtle twinkle on the edge of your spectacles or earrings, you can tilt and downsize your desired sparkle. There are also cute flowers and hearts. 6. Quick Keys. If you're playing on a keyboard, the 1 on your top number row freezes the screenshot. This is extremely helpful if you're trying to catch a battle emote right at a specific moment. If you miss it, keep trying because emotes will continue to cycle until you change them. R and Scroll Lock will both hide/unhide the gpose controls. X will turn on lighting. Space Bar will toggle your character to stop them from facing the camera and vice versa. 7. Lighting Intensity is Dependent on Distance. The closer you're zoomed in on your character, the brighter the light is going to be when you turn it on. Try adjusting your zoom in or out and toggling the light to see if the illumination is to your liking. You can also adjust the RGB on the lights to fit the mood/environment. I also recommend turning on Manual Brightness. 8. Color Filter and Screen Effect. These two features, in my opinion, require the most patience. Not every color filter and screen effect will work well together in every scenario. Click through and preview all of them in your screenshots and see if some SE's work better with your preferred CF. You might find an unexpected combination that you love. Trailer and Echo color filters are great for flashbacks (no one uses Aetherometer, it's an eye bleeder). Use the Pencil or one of the monochrome CFs and Noise 2 SE to create a nice black and white film or photo effect. 9. Frames. Frames are one of the more limited features and not always needed in order to capture a great screenshot. Action poses benefit from the Cinema frames, however, while more lighthearted moments play well with the photo options.

10. Emotes. Before you enter Gpose, be sure to /groundsit to clear your most recent emotes. Summoning mounts and minions also count as emotes for the sake of Gpose. By the same token, you can use battle abilities before entering Gpose, and this is what it will cycle through. You can't activate a battle ability while IN Gpose. You will have access to all of your non-battle emotes and facial expressions, though. You can combine any emote with any facial expression by choosing the action first, and expression second, so you can /prettyplease and /awe at the same time to make your character look hilariously horrified. If you enter Gpose with an active battle ability, you can still apply a facial expression to it from within the tool. 11. Bits and Bobs. Enable Manual Focus and Depth of Field will help bring out the details of the background more, and will help to make a more cohesive screenshot. Manual Focus is great if you want your character in the frame, but you want to shift the focus elsewhere, to an object or another person in the background for example. In the same menu where you'll find emotes, click the second eye button to "Track Camera". Your character's eyes will follow the position of the camera. Lastly, again, have patience. Allow yourself time to play with all the tools Gpose has to offer. You're probably not going to get the winning screenshot after clicking Printscreen just one time, you should take multiple shots from different angles with different lighting and effects, then compare them all and pick the ones you like best. And remember, even if it's the true endgame, it's not a competition. Your screenshots are not "worse" or "boring" just because you're not using third party tools. I look forward to seeing what you create, and you should too.

// Bro the fuck you mean Ice Nine Kills used AI Art to promote a fucking merch sale, even though I'm pretty sure their drummer is their merch designer. instead of backpedaling and apologizing, THEY DOUBLED DOWN AND CALLED THE PEOPLE CALLING THEM OUT REDDITTORS AND MADE ANOTHER AI IMAGE. WHY COULDNT THEY JUST HAVE FUCKING PAID AN ARTIST?

do not try to be an AI art dickrider and try to harass me. Fucking disappointed in Spencer Charnas mainly because he is THE FACE/HEAD of the band because he has the balls to comment "Keep crying" in the post

Fucking pathetic man. They could have easily commissioned an artist but they didn't.

When Iruka entered the Hokage office, Hound was already there, standing at attention. He looked at him, and then at the Hokage, but said nothing.

The Sandaime, however, explained to Iruka that he was to go the north-west border of the country, near takigakure, to bring back a scroll with border patrol reports.

However, he continued, the last report had been lost, and the chunin that carried the mission was missing in action. In theory, this was supposed to be a C-rank, but the reality was that it was B-rank, possibly more. For this reason, Hound would be shadowing him. He was to carry out the mission as if he didn't know the ANBU was there, and defer to his orders if necessary.

"Any questions?" the man asked in the end.

Hound shifted uncomfortably.

Kenji has a pale blue lab gown on. He had found a way out of the lab a while ago and had been wandering around for a while now, trying to find someone or some place.

“Hey sir! Mr. Fancy hat! You! You got somethin’ on your mouth there!”

-@labaukenji

Uh... you okay, kid?

//Yeyeyeye its awesome!!!!! The pfp also has blood lol- he pretty much always has some dw :3

just tbc, the reason we can know Team Phone (captained by nat) was not coordinating with Team Kill (captained by mari) is bc Team Phone also had misty as a key participant and one of mari's most consistent traits is zero tolerance for misty quigley. she's gone back and forth on almost everyone else but was always firmly anti-misty. she had already rejected her the previous ep after seeing her first meet with "Team Crazy". van could be willing to work with misty on nat's say-so alone (and is herself something of a Team Crazy defector) but mari would take more to trust misty. nat knows misty can't betray her bc it would mean mutually assured destruction with her knowing what misty did to the black box, but mari would want to know what the secret nat had on misty was to understand its power and telling her would defeat the purpose of keeping it secret while the nature of the revelation would only make mari hate misty more and possibly distract her with anger over what misty did.

meanwhile, i think it should be more clear nat was not in on mari and co.'s plan with her reaction to the dead animals and confusion when mari, her newfound ally, said they hadn't spilled enough blood bc the others were all "enemies", but the reason i know she couldn't have been brought into the murder conspiracy after that is bc nat wouldn't have wanted to murder any teammates even if she arguably had the most cause to strike back against shauna. natalie, who still felt guilt for the death of her abusive pos father who totally had it coming, who was shattered by killing coach ben at his own request, and who looked uncomfortable after hitting misty just once cared more about ending the bloodshed and getting everybody back home, shauna included, than she would about revenge against shauna. she certainly wouldn't have wanted lottie and taissa killed too, tho i'm not even convinced gen was meant to do more than distract tai and seperate her from shauna. (on her own, how much of a threat is she? she's never had the influence of lottie or intimidation factor of shauna, and her only time in a leadership position was the failed hike which nearly got van eaten by a wolf. plus, i assume they're all still cool with van so unsure they'd want to hurt her that way.) if the hunt somehow ended in mari escaping but shauna and/or lottie dead on nat's behalf to make her leader again, she would probably feel not too unlike lottie did when she learned javi had been killed and cooked in her name.

oh, but speaking of lottie, did she not start conditioning them wrt shauna when she let shauna beat the ever living shit outta her, to the point she almost died, and commanded everyone else to stand aside? they all just had to stand there and witness it, and boy did that learned helplessness stick, while the beating didn't even take away shauna's rage. tragically it's natalie, already product of an abusive home life, who has to stand up to shauna the most, who looked most like she wanted to interfere in shauna's postpartum beatdown of lottie and tried to talk to her when she pointed a gun at melissa. others may have agreed with her, but in the moment of each shauna outburst, they could never be sure who would support them if one more spoke up. better just to stay out of shauna's way, not draw her attention to yourself instead, vote how she wants when she yells about it. mari never voted against ben but she still could only show her support of natalie's mercy killing by whispering in halting code while others were distracted. no wonder they were too divided and distrusting, could only unite in small groups with differing personal goals, not letting any secret agreements spread too far to someone they were unsure of. no wonder they thought they needed the anonymity of masks and frenzy of a hunt to attack shauna.

It has come to my attention that some of you are being sad sacks over certain messages, so I'm calling an emergency crew meeting. Common room six, get your asses over there.

Nastya, you have a grace period, but if you're not down here in two sphours I'm dragging you out of the vents by the fucking ankles.

*Jonny is ticked off. The messages hadn't bothered him, if he's entirely honest, but the way they targeted the others? Yeah, he's pissed. And he's currently channelling that energy into dragging armfuls of blankets and cushions into common room six, along with copious amounts of alcohol from their restocked stores.*
