Oh boy here we go!!!! It's been like 10 months. I've been very busy D: Also I fear this is going to be LONG I'm sorry

Design notes:

Aly: "Alec looks blasé as all hell... Oh, wait, that's her sister...?! Must be a family thing, then." - Some bystander LMAO. She didn't have a lot of screentime but I could tell that she's very strong headed. She's basically a kid with an attitude, you know? And also brutally honest; she doesn't seem to be the type to mince her words a lot. She can talk to people, but I don't think she'd fully open up and show her inner world. I thought she'd be part of that closed off looking character trope that's into cute things, so I gave her this semi scene semi preppy look. I think, as a child, since you're still learning about yourself and building your identity, you tend to really want to look like certain people? I think Aly really wanted to do that when she saw scene kids online, so I gave her the hair, the makeup (sorta), the bow, the choker and the lean silhouette. She also likes cute stuff, and it translates visually with the bow as well, the pink, the oversized sweater, the skirt and the mary janes shoes. Facially, I got inspired by a family member! What I think she'd be into: BABYMETAL! Hanabie, Ladybaby, basically cute metal, plus it fits into that trope as well. Since we're still on the topic of songs; MCR, Paramore, 2010s Avril Lavigne could work too. She probably likes monster high, petshops, hello kitty, pucca, shopkins, basically 2000s-2010s things :D

-----------------------------------------------------

Evelyn: She seems to be the type to solely focus on efficiency and go on full-force when it comes to her goals. However, she was still taught to have manners and I bet she has housekeepers to style her appearance. Sure, she can get by the hair and the makeup– it makes her feel professional and well put together. However, the outfits? Uniforms are much more practical. It's stylish and formal and you don't need to think about what to wear the next day. So I had to. Slightly redesign some uniforms. In parallel. I can't lie I was about to rip my hair out. But I did it I guess

For her face; lord have mercy, I had a tough time for a couple months. Like in an older post I made, I thought she was gonna have sharper edges, but then I felt like it was a bit too brute, so I had to smooth it down. I basically sculpted her face. I also got slightlyyy inspired by Katniss Everdeen and Sophie from KOTLC. She's very uhh 2010s novel core but with a little twist, which makes her pretty unique I'd say! So to keep that vibe going on in my design, I overall wanted her to look like the kind of person people wrote beautiful descriptions about. Her pose, the lighting, I just wanted it to highlight her face, hair, basically her vibe.

I also got inspired by 2 ppl in my classes that are like, the studious hard working ppl who also take care of their appearance.

-----------------------------------------------------

Elijah: Taking ummpati's interpretation of him bc I thought it'd be cool and I really like how she wrote him! (we are good friends so I am taking that as immediate consent) (right Pati???? RIGHT???) He's in his 20s, looks like he doesn't shower (he doesn't), looks like a hoarder (most probably is!) and looks like he strolls outside all the time as well like he's homeless or some shit. I tried to make him look intimidating and composed. He has multiple faces, but I decided to just give him a neutral one; blank face but appears like he could do much worse.

I wanted him to look imposing, I wanted him to vaguely look like a VULTURE because he gets rid of corpses :))) #smart #symbolism #bigbrain #Im-Onto-Something-I-Swear. His coat looks like a normal winter coat but the fur is giving viking too, so it doesn't give much of a modern look, which I think works very well! He probably finds the military cool as hell; if Elijah was uh a bit more normal in the head, he'd probably be a soldier. I headcanon his coat, shoes and pants to be from his grandfather who's a war veteran.

I also personally really like how his messy and disorganised look is in parallel with Celeste (in terms of visual language), with the cowl neckline, the necklaces, the tattered pants, etc. On the contrary, Celeste has that zig zag silhouette but Elijah's is sharper, much more imposing. It's just fun seeing their common and opposing traits.

Oh and I added hidden weapons cause it's 1. unnecessary 2. SOOO ELIJAH. The glove you're seeing is a combat glove with gardening claws because he DIYs like that. I wanted claws bc 1. it helps digging a little bit 2. Claws!! Like the ones of a bird!! OF A VULTURE!!! He's a melee guy so I thought it'd be HILARIOUS to give him some weapons. He probably fantasizes about situations where he'd pull them out. He also probably names them.

For his face: I had a classmate who smoked and when my teacher found his electric cig, he was defending it saying that it's better than a normal kind. Needless to say, I used the right guy as a reference /j

Loved one got top surgery yesterday so I made this for him but I think y’all would appreciate it too

hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock

[flogisto]

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

"what if that homeless person you gave money to spends it on alcohol ???😱" first of all alcohol withdrawal kills people and if theyre not in a safe place to detox (unlikely if they dont have a fucking home) this is literally harm reduction. second of all if they are not in danger of withdrawal thats fine too because im not a little baby bitch who thinks people have to earn the right to have a fucking drink by passing the "must be this tall housed to ride" test. third of all i would have spent it on alcohol also. so now what.

I know what you're all definitely thinking. What if everyone from Gravity Falls was a chair. Well, I was bored enough at 3am to think about that too

Edit: part 2

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Over 6 months in the making (mostly bc procrastination) but I finally compiled my Kanto Gym Leader Magazine series. I love the idea of an in-universe style fashion publication where they all do interviews about their hobbies and stuff

Want something like this for your own OC? My commissions are open!!
