Hello! I would like to request Variants with reader who likes to feed them as their love language, theyre not truing to baby them, they just find feeding their partner so domestic!

a/n: Hi, anon! I wasn’t sure if you meant feeding as in literally, physically feeding or if you were referring to preparing their food for them, so I decided to include both. 

He eats it up, and yes, pun intended. These Marks either didn’t get enough positive attention from their parents or lost it and yearns for that warmth once again.

He finds out early in your relationship that he enjoys getting spoonfed by you–only you. He’ll sneer at anyone who tries to do the same. Also, while he doesn’t demand that you make his food and drinks for him, he can’t help but expect that you always have something cooking on the stove every time he’s around. He also gets  grumpy when other people try to eat the food you prepared, in his mind, only he gets that privilege. 

flaxan, omni-mark, FULL MASK, target, no goggles

It’s not that he doesn’t appreciate it when you feed him, but at the same time it makes him competitive, because acts of service are a big part of how he expresses affection. When you bake him a pie, he feels pressured to bake you a cake. When you brew him expensive coffee in the morning, you’re getting freshly squeezed lemonade in the afternoon. When you cook fried chicken, he’s making spaghetti–you get the idea, right? 

shiesty, PRISONER, head cap

The normal ones. More or less. 

If you push a grape into his lips, he’s going to accept it graciously and it’s not going to feel any different from when he’s letting you take a sip of his smoothie. It doesn’t matter where the food is coming from or who is feeding who, the thing that matters most to him is that you are eating together.

maskless, sinister, mohawk, viltrumite

inside the little theatre (these are just random scenes that form in my head while i write but have no place to put in the actual fic, you may ignore them if you want)

setting: angstrom has gathered the alternate marks for war, but it’s lunch time

omni-mark: (takes out a boxed lunch wrapped in a pretty handkerchief)

shiesty: (peers at the contents and laughs) is the rice supposed to be shaped like a bear? what, did you steal that from a fifteen-year-old girl?

omni-mark: (meticulously sets down the expensive-looking lunchbox on the floor and pours himself tea from his insulated bottle) no, my dove made it for me (he says proudly)

the rest of the marks, revealing their own bento: so did mine. 

edit: I FORGOT TO ADD SINISTER OMG

another edit: AND HEAD CAP JKDSFS

🎃 new twst halloween illustrations + other stuff!! 🎃

***Please note:*** Sharing merch images + news is not intended to encourage and/or to pressure anyone into making purchases. It is up to the individual consumer to be informed and to choose how they spend their money.

New illustrations for new merch items themed around Glorious Masquerade and Stage in Playful Land! (There’s tons of stuff 💦 I tried to find as many images as possible!) There will be a Halloween Fair from the 21st of September to the 20th of October to show these items, but some are already available for preorder now.

One detail I enjoy is how the seated characters for GloMasq are the characters of higher rarity (the SSRs and SRs). (Edit: NEVER MIND I LIED, I forgot Riddle was the R 😭 I guess dorm leader overrides Deuce…) In the Playful Land artworks, you’ll notice that everyone is posed a little stiffly, almost like they’re puppets being pulled along on strings~ I LOVE HOW THEY INCLUDED GRIM DESIGNS, HE DESERVES IT BECAUSE HIS GLOMASQ AND PLAYFUL LAND COSTUMES ARE SO HECKING CUTE 😭

BHLFUVQVFQWOVDWvCSEFQGVASOUS3178r9bfonoasnfgviuSU I. Uh. Also appreciate that J word looks kinda bitchy and like he's giving you the "talk to the hand" pose... JUST LIEK THAT ONE DRAKE MEME DFIHLABPDSB HE'S SO SILLY....... .. . . .. ..... .. .... . . . .. . And that's with L*ona's expression there 💀 WHY'S JHE LOOKING LIKE THAT, IT'S A WEIR D CROSS BEYWEEN SMUG, RELDAXED, AND VAGUELY LOOKING DOWNA T YOU EVEN THOUG HE'S CLEARLY THE ONE BEING CONRTROLLED OTL

Another favorite is!! How Sebek and Silver especially Silber look posed beside a sitting Malleus. They look just like knights (probably because they are, lol) right out of a fairy tale 🥰 AGAIN, ESPECIALYL VSILVE R BECUASE HE'S GOT THT ONE HADN DOVER HIS CHEST ADBN DIS LOOKIGN RIGFHT AT YOU.... .. . ....... .. . . . . . ...... .. . How noble and valiant...

TWST is collabing with a Japanese fashion and lifestyle brand called Space a la Mode! They have long sleeve shirts with character motifs as well as fragrances inspired by each dorm as if we don’t already have a ton of those/j.

Finally, the last thing to note! There’s new Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles artwork in Gurihiru’s impactful comic book style! It will appear in a pop-up event, along with merch using it... including a plate with a Grim design!

There are also plans to make plushies based on the Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles designs. Azul’s forehead is so prominent, it’s sending me— 😭

Jabberwock's B's-Log Pages!

Sorry for the horrifically blurry text. It's the best I can do, but feel free to ask for something zoomed in. I can easily provide!

Rough TL of what I considered important text under the cut.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional TLer, and this hasn't been proofread by another. I prioritized speed and therefore may have made mistakes. If you see them, please let me know. This is meant to be a very quick TL so people can have a rough idea of what to expect! TL notes are included on certain lines.

EDIT: I totally forgot to add like, a full two sentences. Those are there now. Im so sorry.

Main Story Summary: The members of Jabberwock, struggling to stay out of the red, head to a mission at the 'Father Farm' in order to make some cash! The farm has a labour shortage following each of its staff members quitting in succession. Furthermore, every retiree mentions the existence of a strange 'cat'. Even Ren, who usually hates troublesome work, agrees to go along, assuming it'll be easier than taking care of the anomalous animals. However... 'Father Farm' is a parody of a real life amusement park thing called 'Mother Park'. You get to do fun farm things like sheep shearing, racing pigs, a duckling procession, etc.

- Little Haru Image: "The heck happened to you guys?! When did you get so gigantic?!" Haru is so hard to translate I am Not up to date on my kansai…

-

Outfit Blurb: The Jabberwock members go on an undercover investigation! Here's a sneak peek at their super cute and colourful outfits! The actual outfit notes aren't that interesting, so I didn't translate them

-

Haru Sheep Blurb: The bright and cheerful voice of the announcer echos across the park, attracting visitors towards it. The MC is in charge of the capybara, Towa in charge of the sheep, and Ren in charge of the ducks! But their peaceful time quickly disappears as the fence containing the ducks breaks, leading to them escape....?!

Image Dialogue: "Welcome in, don't be shy! C'mon, everybody! Come on in, see the bang for your buck!"

-

Haru On Knees Blurb: At the farm, the temporary staff's main tasks obviously include taking care of the animals, but they also include helping to organise the events and shows! Due to that, the uniforms are cute work clothes that take after various animals. I honestly can't tell if their animal characteristics are fake or not… maybe they're anomalous? Shrugs.

Image Dialogue: "What the hell are these outfits…" (Ren, probably)

"R-Ren and Towa too huh? You look great in those matching outfits!" (Haru) I split this into two sentences because I think he's doing two thoughts… otherwise, it's 'Y-You guys look great in those matching outfits!' or something like that

"～～、～～……." (Towa)

- Towa Image: "Hehe~. Since Dandelion looks pretty, I'll protect her~."

I ADORE YOU. MORE ABUNDANCE YANQING AND YAOSHI. PLEASE.

So, can you please learn more tell about this theory?

(You draw beautifully.)

GAAAGHHHH this was the first thing I saw in the morning omg tsym <333 dw I've got my mitts on and I'll get to cooking o7 I assume you're asking me to explain the theory? Which I'll gladly do. Very long post incoming.

Essentially, the general idea is that Yanqing is related to abundance in some way, be it simply second-hand association, or he himself being an abomination/denizen of abundance himself - I personally believe in the latter. While I've made art of Yaoshi and Yanqing in a parental dynamic, it's not something I see as a viable theory, so much as it's just a fun little crack theory. Yaoshi is more likely a passive creator than an actual loving parent. There's a bunch of different interpretations for what Yanqing is and how he came to be based on the little pieces of evidence found in canon. One piece of evidence is his blonde hair.

As far as I can tell, the only other blonde Xianzhou characters are Dan Shu and Luocha (Luocha isn't a Xianzhou native himself, but he was a part of the quest so I'm including him anyway), both directly associated with the abundance, as well as Yaoshi themselves.

Interestingly enough, Dan Shu has the same hair part as Yanqing, but that could just be chalked up to design cohesion and framing the face/mask, rather than anything meaningful.

Edit: someone pointed out to me that Dan Shu's hair was initially brown, but after joining the disciples, it turned blonde.

Edit: I somehow forgot to include Phantylia, who has blonde hair in her third phase, and even a hair part. There's also a disciple of Sanctus Medicus in a cell in the shackling prison who also has blonde hair. Every character I've found who has blonde hair is either a disciple, or canonically connected to Yaoshi

(I considered adding Hongling, the fanatic fan in the stands of the Skysplitter, but I think his hair might just be dyed, which isn't too crazy an idea for a stan. Still mentioning him though, since he's a really weird character)

If you look closely at Yanqing's clothes, there's a reoccurring vine-esc pattern on all layers of his hanfu. They can also be seen on his sword. It doesn't necessarily mean much by itself, but it's an interesting detail I and others have noticed.

However, I want to point attention to Yanqing's phone case, because it's actually super interesting, and probably the most convincing piece of evidence imo. Not only does it relay the vine motif, but that to me looks like a leaf detaching from a branch and transforming into a swallow. If the characters' phone cases are meant to reflect their personality/reference lore elements, then this is probably the most blatant in terms of potential lore.

Edit: the little decals on the camera lense are in the image of Yanqing's hair ornament, which happens to look like a pair of leaves, midribs and all.

Speaking of swallows, has anyone noticed that there's flocks of golden swallows inside the roots of the arbor? I only noticed on my second playthrough, but I haven't stopped thinking about them since. How odd is it that out of any other bird, the arbor has swallows specifically. Of course, Swallows aren't Yanqing's motif alone, as the wardance teaser silhouette's have what look like swallows in the background art, but I still think it's important to bring up, considering Yanqing is literally COVERED in them, from his ornaments, to his swallow tail-shaped coat tail, to his entire playstyle.

Low-quality ss of the swallows for reference.

Luocha also has a line about Yanqing that, setting aside any theory-crafting, seems pointless. He has nothing to say, which, if he was truly genuine, what purpose does this line even serve? I can't infer much from the delivery of the other languages, since I have no knowledge on them or their social cues, but in en, the tone is very... discreet? It's just the way he says it is very off, like he's being dishonest. Too quick; too matter-of-fact; It's artificial honesty. I hope you get what I mean lol. I can only assume the va was directed to say it that way for a reason.

A passage from Yanqing's 2nd char story reads: "It's recorded in the military annals of the Cloud Knights how Jing Yuan came to discover the young boy, stood his ground against public opinion, and incorporated him into the armed forces. However, in the family lineage column, Yanqing's lineage was relegated to the category of unknown."

From Yanqing's 4th char story: "Some speculated that he [Jing Yuan] was cultivating an heir, others claimed he only kept him around just to use this kid as a secret weapon. Jing Yuan never offered a response."

Jing Yuan is really suspicious. Like, incredibly suspicious. Even more than Luocha. Yanqing is already known to be an orphan, but the lack of clarity over the details of Jy discovering him, as well as the fact that he has no known relatives in their database is very odd. Speaking to Jing Yuan's npc in-game allows the player to inquire about Yanqing's origin, but Jing Yuan's response is far from helpful. You'd think the man who decks out his Lieutenant in protective charms and locks, and who raised the kid from, at oldest, toddler years, would be a little more eager to spurge on about stories from Yanqing's childhood, but he instead chooses to dance around the topic and make light-hearted remarks about Qingzu's furphies. Obviously, you can't and shouldn't expect to get all of a characters lore in one serving, but revealing so little definitely implies a lot more, as we've seen with Luocha.

These details are the reason why, if Yanqing does turn out to be related to the abundance, be it a spawn of the arbor, or a creation of Yaoshi themselves, I believe that at least Jing Yuan knows and is keeping it all under wraps. Maybe the whole reason Jing Yuan assigned him as his aide in the first place was to keep a close eye on him. Rather ironic a general of the hunt would risk everything to protect the thing he's sworn to destroy.

But that's just my two cents. Thank you anon for giving me a reason to spurge about this theory finally, as it's become so dear to my heart.

More art will be posted as I go along, so don't touch that dial.

Gloomy Bear Hugs

These poses were a commission for VampyrieDoll! Six couple poses for use with a Gloomy Bear object, plus all-in-ones. Three of the poses use a tongue accessory, but I've also made versions without (there are also separate all-in-ones for tongue acc/no tongue acc). Sometimes I just can't be bothered to go into CAS and find an accessory so I'm catering to my future self here lmao. I seem to have used an older version of their tongue acc because that's the one I had; I haven't checked to see if the newer versions are compatible.

Poses were made with masc rigs and as always there may be clipping or floating depending on Sim body type or clothing.

Eyelids are still glitched in game and now seem to be worse after the 22/10/24 update, so the closed eyes in these poses may not appear in game as they do in Blender! 🥲

Edit: I completely forgot to take an image to show teleporter placement! Just place two teleporters on the same spot as the Gloomy Bear, all facing the same direction.

SECOND EDIT: omg I also forgot to include one of the poses in the pose preview. 🥲 My brain isn't working lately.

You will need: - Pose Player - Teleport Any Sim - Gloomy Bear object by CursedCC - tongue acc by RedHeadSims (optional)

Download here (always free): SFS | Patreon

TOU: you may adjust for personal use to avoid clipping etc., but please do not reupload/paywall/claim as your own.

I’d love to see them used! You can tag me on Bluesky, Instagram, or Tumblr. I repost. ❤️

You can easily browse more of my posepacks using my Ko-Fi gallery. Want to commission me and help support my work? Details here! Want to leave a suggestion for poses you'd like to see? Form here!

Some More TF Sketches (G1/IDW Mainly)

Hi. Been seeing a lot of Ratchet on my dash recently and wanted to join in the fray.

I'm posting so often probably because I hadn't been able to draw for a long while (entrance exams, college in general--because for some goddamn reason the written testing for entrance exams and also the beginning of college take place in the same year in this country??? (Feb.~Mar. for written tests and Apr. for actual college)) so excuse my aggressive wave of TF posts but hey, more food for all of us amirite?

Eat up friends <3<3<3

As always, press/click for quality and the whole image! (forgot to say that last few posts whoopsies) Also for the full text because I wrote a lot of notes on the images themselves,,

This is all drawn on one page, but I divided them and (hastily) erased the surrounding sketches so they're easier to see, and also because I feel shameful for posting a comic-strip-formatted sketch sheet every time.

(Mainly because I don't like the zoom function on mobile but I might just be impatient oops;;;)

Please ignore the clear blemishes on the images because of my simple editing lol;;;

Do y'all prefer this format or the entire sheet scan in one image?

Anyway.

I just wanted to draw Dratchet and Megs with glasses (and the obligatory MegOp bc we're all still starving for it me included huehuehuehuehueh)

Current struggle: Drift and Rodimus are so hard to draw for me but I won't get better unless I draw them!!!! Anyone have any tips for drawing their heads?

[princechaikka]

I've never done a proper character lineup before but I recently got super into the magnus archives (it was recommended to me by a friend!), so I gave a lineup a shot with fan designs of the series! The original file was higher resolution but it was too large to upload unfortunately OTL. I'll put smaller bits of the lineup at full resolution below the cut (and maybe some design notes too). I also made a few secondary versions of the characters below the cut, but they do contain spoilers.

There will be more detailed ALT image descriptions below the cut as well since i have a character limit that's probably too small to fit all the characters in this image.

(honestly this took me like two months to do (I did a lot of it WHILE listening to tma and then also tmp lmao), and I've been sitting on the finished product for a few months thereafter because I wasn't certain if I would still like it after I left it alone for awhile... but I'm tired of keepin it in my files)

Check ALT text for details on the individual designs including specific clothing item names or facial inspirations. Overall notes for the design layout would be that: these are meant to be a "base" of the characters. I intended to draw everyone in an appearance that would suit them at their normal job whenever we first meet them, which means the characters who join the institute later are not dressed in institute attire. For those who were, however, I incorporated a name tag with an official magnus institute symbol (eye-shaped) and a bar code (for access to storage and whatnot). They're also dressed in professional wear, though I tried to differentiate what they'd wear from person to person to help incorporate their personality.

(Edit I forgot to add some details to this section cause I'm sleepy)

Some other general stuff:

As a neat little detail, I tried to keep all the people who made it to the eyepocalypse have an exposed middle forehead. I thought a visible "third eye" position would be a neat visual indicator. I also have some color-coding at play where Green represents The Eye, Purple represents The Web, Blue represents The Lonely.... And I actually had it more fleshed-out but then I accidentally saved over the document where I noted this all down (exploding on the inside). Either way it's why Martin has a periwinkle sweater since it's a delightful color but also a nice recognizable form of blue x purple 👍

What's this? Bonus doodles? Bonus doodles! (as a heads up there's a spider in the third batch down)

black holes aren't black (with caveats)

The name is such a misnomer! In fact black holes in our universe tend to be some of the brightest things there are!

Why? because the immense gravity of a black hole tends to pull matter towards it, in tight orbits, and once close enough, into a whirlpool of sorts that enters into the black hole. Matter including things like stars! so a black hole might not itself produce light but it is surrounded by a bunch of things there are. Saying a black hole is a "light ring with a black inside" would actually be more physically accurate.

In addition, that matter, as it accretes around the black hole, it gets super hot and actually glows. This forms quasars, which are (I'm pretty sure) the most energy-efficient way to turn matter into energy in the universe, and hopefully one day we can control this process artificially with mirrors to extract this energy for human use. Here is what quasars look like:

By ESO/M. Kornmesser - http://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1122a/, CC BY 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=15700804

So black holes aren't black. Yes, anything within the event horizon (Schwarzschild radius) is black but black holes in general look more like Gargantua in Interstellar than pure black regions of space.

EDIT: Something I forgot to mention but even if black holes don't have gas clouds/matter in their immediate vicinity, you would still definitely "see" them. This is because of gravitational lensing; the gravity of a black hole means that photons travelling from the rest of the universe follow curved paths around them, resulting in a lens-like effect. See here (I didn't make this but it's super cool!) for a very nice visualization. And yes, technically neutron stars also cause gravitational lensing, all things with mass do, but it is the most visible with black holes.

How To Get Multiple Colors in a Text

warning this is might be long due to my over-explanation!!!

Some time ago I got a comment on my post asking how I got the color fading effect in my text and used non-default text colors, like the title above. I also got a few messages about this.

I swear wanted to respond sooner, but I completely forgot. When I finally got the time to reply, I noticed my response turned into an essay! So, I decided it would be easier to make a post instead, and if you're like me and are a visual learner don't worry I included images!

Also, I have ADHD and over-explain things. I realized that while drafting my reply, it came across as patronizing. So if I sound that way in this post, I assure you it's not my intention; I just tend to explain things in detail because I prefer having things explained to me like that with the smallest details addressed. I tried to make it super simple for those who are new to Tumblr.

Here is the website I used: https://patorjk.com/text-color-fader/

If you got how it works congrats, If not, and you're confused, feel free to read the steps I take when using it!

HOW TO GET THE CODE!

1.) The first step is to enter your text which is done here!

2.) Choose the number of colors you want your text to have. At least 2 colors are needed for your text to have a fade effect. For using just one color without fading, refer to 3.c.

3.a) Choose your colors from the presets which btw automatically change the number of colors used but you could simply change it.

3.b) If you would like to choose your own colors, ignore the presets and simply click on the color to edit the Hex code. Keep in mind that the order of the colors, as shown above, is the same order in which they will appear in the text when the code is generated.

3.c) To use a single color without any fade effect, set the color amount to 2, which is the minimum allowed. Then edit the two colors to have an identical hex code.

4.a) You can choose your Fade type using the below options. For this post, I will be using the horizontal fade type, as it's the one I prefer. I haven't explored the other options much, so feel free to experiment and choose whatever you like!

4.b) For the output code ALWAYS KEEP IT AS HTML when using it on Tumblr. Unless something changes with the website, HTML is the default, so you don't need to worry about making any changes.

5.a) Click the generate button at the bottom of the page to create the code.

5.b) This is how the results will appear with multiple colors and just one color. By default, the background color is set to black, but you can change it to white or another color to test how your text will look. This option can be found at the lower right side of the results, titled "View Against Background." (NOTE: The background color does not affect the code and is not included in the code itself.)

5.c) If you want to edit something, simply press the "create new fade" button at the bottom. Don’t worry; it won't reset anything; it will just take you back to the previous page!

6.) When you are okay with the results copy the code. To do this press the select all at the bottom right of the code. This will just highlight the code so you will need to either press ctrl c, ⌘ c, or whatever you do to copy text on your device!

NOW, HOW TO PUT THE CODE INTO TUMBLR!

7.a) Head over to Tumblr and create a post! Make sure you're editing using HTML by pressing the little setting button on the upper right side of your post.

7.b) Scroll down to the text editor. The default should be rich text. Press the dropdown and choose HTML.

7.c) Paste the code in the HTML editor. Then save it as a draft to make sure it looks good before posting.

8.) Here's how it should look. Be aware that the HTML editor does mess up your image placements a bit when editing, but that's an easy fix. You just edit the draft and drag the images back to where you wanted them, and it won't mess with the code.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM YOU MIGHT FACE

You might get a warning like this when using bulky paragraphs with color-fading text on Tumblr, as it wrongfully considers them to exceed the character limit. This warning doesn't appear for single-colored text. When I switched to a single color, the warning disappeared, allowing me to save my draft. When this warning appears, you will not be able to save your draft at all, which puts you at risk of losing all your work. What I usually do when I get this warning and am unable to save the draft is change the text editor, use HTML, and save the draft from there.

Please be aware of two minor issues with this hack: First, HTML can interfere with your images. If your images are stacked, that's fine; however, if they are side by side, HTML will change them to a stacked format. Second, the "read more" link will be deleted by HTML. While both issues can often be resolved using the rich text editor, you won't be able to fix them in this scenario because the rich text editor won't let you save the draft or post due to incorrectly seeing the character limit.

To work around this issue, I sometimes save the draft as HTML on my computer to bypass character limits. Then, I use the Tumblr app on my phone to adjust the image placement and re-add the “read more” link. This may not always work so just be aware of these potential issues!

That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to comment or message me, I'm kind of new at this too so bear with me!

PS, @angel-dustspo I’m so sorry for the late reply!!

Hi. I've made a post about this before, but I have more information now (and hopefully I can organize it better).

Ghoul is a n//zi. Only censoring because I tried to make this post already and it didn't show up.

Here is a list of all the social media accounts I could find that he uses so you can block/avoid him.

There is a possible tumblr sideblog I might be unaware of (edit: this has been found!). Click the read more for more details/evidence.

Twitter: xGOREGHOULx

Tumblr: previously d34d-d06-404, now gunk2d34th (warning for bright/eyestrain theme on desktop)

(Edit) Tumblr sideblog: fourexforevrrr

(Edit) Another Tumblr sideblog: dreamobjectshow

Discord server: OBJECTZSPACE

Discord username: gir4life

Pinterest: deranged_number4 + xX4_1STH3B35T1NT3G3RXx

Youtube: xGOREGUNK2009x + xGOREGHOULx

Soundcloud: xUR LOCAL GABBER KIDx + GORE GUNKZ

Pronouns.page: xGOREKIDx

Rentry: DERANGEDFOURNER (warning for bright/eyestrain/flashing gifs)

(Edit) Strawpage: gunksite (warning for flashing gifs/eyestrain)

Carrd: goreghoulquest (warning for moving/spinning/rotating background image. i'm dizzy/have a headache from it. it's a first person video game perspective of somebody spinning in circles in a brick maze.)

On October 21 2023, Ghoul posted these to his pinterest. I looked at the website page data in order to get that date, because I don't think pinterest has a clear way of showing when things were posted (and if it does, I don't know about it).

That's the n//zi salute from Kratcy (CFMOT) and n//zi uniform from Yoshka (CFMOT), complete with a red n//zi armband.

In the last one of Kratcy, the caption is HEIL, MEIN FÜHRER!!! In English, this means HAIL, MY LEADER!!! Führer is the title Hitler gave to himself when he came into power.

On October 22 2023, Ghoul posted this to his twitter.

Three drawings of Four (BFDI/BFB) wearing a n//zi armband. It's censored out in two of them, but Ghoul forgot to censor out the first one. This is an indication that he knew it was bad to draw/post, but did so anyway.

Later that day, he posted this.

Another drawing of Four wearing a n//zi armband, with a caption to spell it out for you.

On October 23 2023, he posted to his twitter again.

Another one.

On December 20 2023 (two months after all those posts), somebody on twitter pointed out the armband in Ghoul's post. The callout post got a little traction, some of the other art was found, and Ghoul was asked why he drew n//zi art. This was his "apology." I included the second screenshot so you know I'm not intentionally cutting anything out with the first screenshot.

Mania does not suddenly make you antisemetic. Mania does not suddenly compel you to draw n//zi imagery. Ghoul tried censoring two out of the three images, trying to hide it. He clearly knew it was a bad thing to do. He is using mental health issues to excuse his actions.

On December 21 2023, he answered this ask on his tumblr.

And then left this in the replies of the ask post.

Again, using mental health issues as an excuse. If you felt bad for it, wouldn't you have deleted it as soon as you got into a clear headspace? Would you not have addressed it sooner instead of waiting for people to call you out on it first? If you were truly trying to ruin your reputation, why did you try to censor some of it? It isn't "old art", either. It's from three months ago.

I'm including this screenshot so people know what the discord server looks like. I am not in this server, I only clicked the link to get the screenshot. I do not know if anybody is co-running this server along with Ghoul, or if it is only Ghoul himself running it.

I'm including this poll because I don't know if he ever made that sideblog or not. If he did, I don't know the url. If anybody does know it, please tell me. I'll leave your name out of it. I just want people to be able to block it if it exists.

(Edit) This sideblog has been found! It's @/fourexforevrrr

As of writing this post, it is January 7 2024. Ghoul has not said anything about this since and continues to post art like normal. I don't want this to be swept underneath the rug. I'm not allowing a n//zi to exist in the object show community. I don't care that he's a minor (16). This is vile.

this started as a joke and then a friend of mine who knows will willowmvp personally decided to get me confirmation on his relationship to homestuck so. now you all get to see this i guess.

A FEW NOTES ABOUT THIS

outside of the tiers that straight up say "CONFIRMED" in them I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE. I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE. i also do not keep a very close eye on the irl lives of most of these creators, so unless something is like, a well known fact about them, assume i most likely do not know it. if one of these creators has discussed homestuck and is in the wildly wrong place, whoops.

my decisions were based on a combination of age, what corner of the internet they're in (if they openly have a tumblr), and straight up vibes.

i know some of these creators much better than others, but if someone's not on here, it's because i don't feel like i have anything even approximating a grasp on their personalities or i have never watched them before.

OK ONE EDIT. i forgot lizzie and joel were like straight up scene kids. im not changing the list but idk keep that in mind. also zloy SHOULD be in the "confirmed has read homestuck" tier but in my defense. i forgor.

Part 2 of this post right here!

The post I made about the brazillian Tangled fans editing Tangled with Barbie as The Island Princess songs got some attention from the TTS fandom here on Tumblr, but despite mentioning that they were using songs as a plural from the movie, I highlighted just one song a bit too much and let that information be left aside. And I came back to show another edit they made with Island Princess songs using Tangled. That is, taking into account that Rapunzel in Brazil shares the same voice actor with Barbie in this movie, so it's like Rapunzel is in fact singing. Her name is Sylvia Salustti and she is super talented! We love her here in Brazil

This song right here is called (in brazillian portuguese) "Como é bom sonhar", which translates to "How good it is to dream". It's a lullaby that the protagonist's mother taught her before they were separated and the princess protagonist never forgot. They only recognized eachother because they both knew how to sing the song and the queen had the missing pieces that the princess had long forgotten.

The songs from this movie of course are originally in english but to translate them to portuguese some changes were made, and I want to share with you guys what they mean in portuguese. The first image is sang by the princess and the second image starts the queen's turn! And they end together in a duo.

Since I thought the post wouldn't get much attention and didn't put much effort in making it, I didn't included a Tangled song in brazillian portuguese. I will add one here just in case someone is curious and wants to hear her VA singing in portuguese as Rapunzel. IN MY OPINION the brazillian translation makes this song even more beautiful than in english due to the small changes in the lyrics. And their voices are so-- ahh 😭💔💔 the title is changed. "And I finally see the light shine" Heartbreaking.

Cassandra's voice in portuguese also sounds like an angel but we havent gotten to that topic yet

SiIvaGunner SmashUp! 2 behind-the-scenes and/or post-mortem

Hello folks, I'm back on my bullshit here to talk about the thing I did. Check it out here if you haven't yet.

Work on SiIvaGunner SmashUp! 2 began almost right after the first one. Technically. It took a while for the wind of post-SmashUp hype to run out, but in that time, I started working on some of the new contestants, including Gedagedi, Pomni, Barbie, and some cut characters. Click "Keep reading" to see an early video recorded in May 2024.

After this, however, the burnout finally set in and I had to set things aside. I occasionally worked on SmashUp over the next few months, but work didn't really pick back up until November. Most of the characters who made the cut were either made or finished between Thanksgiving and the start of January. Why nothing after the start of January? Well, it's simple.

That's right! Those greedy fucks over at 2K decided to shut the servers for the game down. Being a mostly offline game, this doesn't affect most things, but one thing it does affect is that images can no longer be sent to the game using their online tool. This is bad for creating characters with complex or distinct textures; many wrestlers featured in SmashUp! use this function to some degree. This was already delayed from September 2024, so I lucked out, but it didn't give me a lot of time to finish every thing. It also meant that the new logo for SmashUp! 2 needed to be a bit of a rush order, but thankfully the wonderful @cherrystar-art was able to complete the task in time, as she had last year.

Since people always ask me about who got cut, a short list is as follows:

Jeffy (problematic)

Puppymonkeybaby (too many animals next to 8-Bit Beast, Naxx, Doge, Brainless Kitty)

Kuromi (too difficult to make look good)

Omori (made and forgot about him oops)

John Notwoodman (looked funny, but might show up in the future)

Inspector Gadget (got cut because getting his jacket accurate was too difficult. At one point a female version of him got made because the women have better jacket choices, but it wouldn't show up in-ring because of quirks of the game, and what is Inspector Gadget without the jacket?)

Burnice, a popular request, was never seriously considered as a contestant, especially since by the time most people were asking, the project was almost done. Also, complex anime designs look bad without putting in a lot of effort. Maybe next time, if WWE 2K25 wills it. (Disclaimer: the following image was made on a lark way after the fact.)

Once all the characters were done, it was time to record the matches. Well, not before giving all the new people entrances and movesets, but I don't have fun stories about that. Here's some fun inside scoop about the matches though:

Gedagedi vs Numberphile was one of the first non-Rumble matches that got decided. It was brainstormed and recorded before Numberphile got resurected, which is why the video still treats him as being dead.

Nutshackwoodman34 vs Naxx & Doge was (I believe) suggested by @keeby10 during the production of the Susie ARG and, by extention, Mystery of the Silcret Gunner. Reader was actually considered for the first SmashUp, and even had a wrestler started in his image, but the motivation to finish him wasn't there until work on NSWM34 content started up again. Despite the idea for Reader narrating the match being conceived as early as January, it was the last thing recorded for the video, and was edited days before its debut.

The Halfway-to-Halloween match was inspired by the potential idea of an SGW Halloween special which never panned out (maybe in the future). Despite being the most obscure entrant, The Mummer was actually one of the first wrestlers created for SmashUp! 2.

I don't have much to say about the Grand Rumble, but I will note that having Gangsta Mario at 7 and The Other Grand Dad at 17 were intentional. I also tried to keep to a good balance of old and new wrestlers, and most of the cuts and returns were decided on by an internal poll.

I also flirted with the idea of SmashUp! 2 having a "Fanchannel InVasion" angle starring crossovers with channels such as TTGD or Vavr, but this also never panned out because I was too scared to ask for permission, or something. I guess Barbie kinda sorta came out of this idea, but she was kept because of the movie tie-in event and SiIva more or less creating Scary Barbie!!!111!!!!. Maybe in the future?

Outside of the aforementioned Nutshackwoodman34 match, editing was slightly more straightforward this year than the year before, partly because of the experience of the previous year and the ability to re-use elements. That being said, it was still hella stressful to get done good and on-time. But I guess I did it? There's a few parts that could've used more time looking over, which were mostly the victim of an event you will read about in two paragraphs.

I would also like to quickly talk about the commentary team. Trofflesby and SSB_Seal both reprised their roles as Breen Gonda and Randall Shields, respectively, and I don't know about you, but I think this year ended up even better than the last. It was also wonderful working with @alexrochonva for the role of the ring announcer, even if it was basically me just giving him a list of lines and telling him to go to town LOL. While Chase Beck was meant to return in the role of a commentator, logistics didn't quite line up in the end, but I do hope that he can appear again in the next SmashUp (sorry again Chase I will make it up to you eventually). I would also like to shout out Janne Sala and Willie Weasel for reprising their roles as Naxx and Doge, especially since Doge hadn't appeared on SiIvaGunner in over half a decade. AND ZACH BECAUSE HE IS FUNNY

Unfortunately, tragedy struck the literal day before SmashUp! 2 was meant to be premiered. While I was working on the final touches of the video, one of my laptop's fans started malfunctioning, and while I was able to get the video rendered out and on YouTube, it was very stressful, and unfortunately put a damper on the premiere for me. But, people seem to like the end result, so maybe it was worth it? IDK. I don't like that my computer almost cooked itself to death, so. Right now I'm waiting for Micro Center to finish repairing it but fingers crossed that it goes ok (please send thoughts and prayers).

pictured: footage of my laptop fucking dying

Anyway, that's SiIvaGunner SmashUp! 2. It was a thing, that happened. I would love to say I'm already working on the next one, but being honest I just want to sleep man. So until next time, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[EP16] CAS Overrides for Lovestruck + 7 Addons - The End is Nigh!

🙀 8/14/2024 - There's a texture issue with some of my Addons in Live. I'll sort it out and push an update after I initial release AXGW.

⚔️ Requires TS4: Lovestruck Expansion Pack

🚀 Initial Release - 8/1/2024

🔄 Update 8/8/2024 - [✔️] I'm afraid to say EAxis will likely never fix CAS properly, so don't hold your breath. This isn't a new thing. It's been a problem for 10 years.

🎁 SFS - http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4832424/

🎁 CF - https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/cas-overrides-for-ep16-lovestruck

✒️ CAS is a mess. All of CAS is a mess. Every content release is a mess of wrong PartFlags that primarily affect transframe sims but also affect cisframe female and male sims. Ever noticed distortions on your clothing? That's cause you're wearing the wrong frame item because EAxis tagged it incorrectly or tagged something made with the male frame for female sims or vice versa because they couldn't be arsed to make two items.

🥂 This is the first major release under the new Endgame moniker. It feels good to be back. I will update all previous CAS Overrides but coming next is my initial release for AnimXGenWear and I'm hella excited!

💬 The very last image was edited to include the female and male icons for my CF thumbnail to give a simplistic visual representation of what to expect with this mod. I'm considering doing an actual in-game overlay.

🙀 I forgot to say what this does! In these DLC overrides that I do, I try to fix everything I find that needs fixing if I can fix it. If I can't fix it, I add a note for it in my big Endgame master post on Patreon for future tinkering. The fixes include but are not limited to, incorrect PartFlags, missing PartFlags, mesh errors, busted texture maps, removing Randomization from Accessories, Hats, Makeup, Skin Details, Tattoos, etc. AKA all the things that give us ridiculous-looking townies - it has evolved from just fixing the incorrect Restrict Opposite PartFlags that screw with transframe sims, to fixing everything. It needs a more detailed explanation, but for now, this should give you a fair enough idea what to expect. The main thing to note is that clothing no longer follows any real-world gender-stereotype nonsense. If it's made with the female frame it will show under the Feminine Fashion / Clothing filter and if it's made with the male frame it will show under the Masculine Fashion / Clothing filter. All clothing items are unrestricted, so you can choose to wear whatever you want. Use the appropriate filter or both or none. Makes sense? With heterosexual cis male sims in mind, I removed Randomization from "traditionally feminine" clothing, meaning you'll see dresses and skirts under the Masculine filter, but they won't randomize onto every male sim in the game. I'm gender-nonconforming so I don't care but I understand some simmers might so I've tried to configure this as inclusive as I can for everyone. This is what The Endgame is - it's CAS the way it should have been shipped. Not the mess that it currently is.
