the thing they don't tell you about writing an IF is that suddenly every single story idea you have you end up being like..........damn this would make a cool IF.................
#author posting#though i've forbidden myself from starting a second project#until TLS is over#but i've got an idea i'm playing with#that i might work on after TLS#it would be tonally EXTREMELY DIFFERENT lmao#and would probably be my challenge to write something shorter#but it would be purely a fun sexy mess and that appeals to me#next to a heavily story and character driven game#like tls#anyway im still working on the next update#had some life stuff get in the way#i'll post a proper update soon here#hope everyone is doing well <3

Ya ever find it weird that Bahamut barely has his role talked about in game? How strange his role really is?
Bahamut, the bladekeeper
Bahamut, the draconian
Bahamut, the keeper of prophecies and creator of the crystal
Bahamut, the god of war
Bahamut, the god who never provided a real reason for why so much blood had to be spilled for his prophecy to come true
Bahamut, who misled Ardyn and Somnus both into petty violence
Bahamut, who told Ardyn to spread the scourge upon the world for decades
Bahamut, who let Ardyn go on a vengeful killing spree just long enough to really hate Lucis- but not get his revenge- and then let him go back on his merry way to Nifilheim and Verstael Besithia who had ambitions of war and tin soldiers powered by scourge
Bahamut, who enabled a war that killed nearly everyone on both sides not to mention those who were caught in the crossfire- a war that would not have been so bloody had Ardyn not had such a hand in it
Bahamut, who demanded a blood price 2,000 years in the making- who really demanded two sacrifices- Ardyn and Noctis- who did not need both for there is a world where Noctis at least lives and the sun rises and no one else needed to die for it.
Bahamut, the god of war, the creator of the crystal
It’s a strange pairing when taken with the story of ff15. That’s all.
#if I were a war god I sure as shit would have ulterior motives while writing prophecies#like I’m just saying it’s weird right#that Bahamut of all people is the one dishing out prophetic visions#that Bahamut is the one with both hands in the bloody bloody tragedy#despite the fact that literally any of the other gods could have been the figurehead#or they could have made it a group project#but it very clearly appears to be Bahamut’s work that the other gods just need to sign off on#which like- again that’s weird right#there’s no reason for the war god to have prophetic powers#there’s no real reason for Bahamut specifically to even be part of the game#he doesn’t even- far as I know- have a history of being prophetic#his history in the series is largely defined by being big and scary and smiting with megaflare#why not swap his and Ifrit’s places in the narrative?#after all Ifrit has better reasons to be messing around with kingdoms and prophecies#and Bahamut has better reasons to be driven mad with scourge#or go one step further in the tomfoolery#and have Shiva Bahamut and Ifrit trade roles (in that order)#my point here is that I stopped and thought about the prophecy and stopped taking it as the word of god truth#and it gets really weird really fast when you realize that the consequences of the prophecy are awful convenient for a war god#*insert that image of the guy with his conspiracy board*#nyx rambles#ffxv#ff15#final fantasy 15#final fantasy xv#bahamut#ffxv bahamut

ok! It took me about 6 tries to do the first short row shaping at the beginning (not the patterns fault it just took me 6 tries until I gave up and looked up a video on how to do my wrap and turns bc I was fucking up somewhere lmao) but we got there! Behold my little froggy is starting to form


This guy is actually a practice run, these are not the recommended yarn or needle size for the pattern but I knew I'd want to do a first go before my nice version and figured the larger size would be nice and he's actually not a bad size! I think I may stick with a worsted/dk weight rather than fingering and just go down a needle size or two to make him denser :]
#i just saw that theres more short rows for the nose shaping in a few rows and i need to go to bed thats tmws problem 😂#honestly it's probably good that i didnt get the chance to start this project at work on Thursday bc i would have driven myself crazy 😂#and depending on how fucked up my dear little practice guy ends up my friend K has already said her bf would love him 😂#apparently hes been really into frogs lately and i know he likes silly and weird things#i have more plans for accessories for the actual frog that will also probably need a test run so depending how it goes#he may end up with a little knight frog. or if hes super cute then ill keep him and make P his own with some weird yarn colours lol#make him a tropical poison tree frog 😂#projects#knitting#my projects#fuck i cant remember my project tag 😂#my textposts

one of the things i'm really loving about Fourever You is the cross-wise friendships that are building- Hill does not hesitate to give North rides when he picks up Ter and is always happy to see him and have him around and make it clear that he's welcome to spend time with him and Ter and that he isn't imposing or unwanted; Johan can see Ter's insecurities about his relationship with Hill because of their history, and is quietly reassuring and supportive and encourages Ter to have confidence and take the steps he needs to take to be with Hill. Johan especially is definitely the grumpy cat character of the group, and North is his person, but he is also so soft with Ter and it's really nice to see. the four of them gel really well as a subset of the larger web of friend groups, and i'm looking forward to when they can expand out into the other set of boys and everyone gets to hang out together.
#this show is so chill#it's not moving super fast and in other shows that's driven me nuts but for some reason it's fine here idk#is my love of Earth Katsamonnat lulling me into tolerating this when shows like We Are drive me crazy? maybe#either way i like these boys a lot so here we are#fourever you#fourever you the series#fourever you project#mia watches things

your blood is not even worth spilling.
#GPOSE.#*dawntread#oc: meteor#zenos yae galvus#this was going to be way worse but then i realized 1) i hate posing zenos 2) i still don't get weapons in brio#and 3) i didn't have the time to figure it out i was racing against the clock (eepy)#i wanted to make it more blatantly homoerotic but see point 1#''homoerotic? op i thought you didnt ship wolzenos'' correct#but i love using erotic/s*xual imagery when it comes to the wol&zenos dynamic#because i think its a way of. getting at zenos' voraciously selfish desire for the wol. regardless of what they actually want or feel#believing even that he knows their own thoughts and feelings better than they do#wanting to consume each other and die in so doing#what makes the meteor version of this dynamic so interesting is he's not on paper or at first glance a very good zenos foil#as in he's not really the type of wol i imagine having Something with zenos#he does not relish fighting truly#he starts lamenting his reputation as the eikon slayer pretty much right out of the gate#it never feels heroic to him. it's only tragedy.#he still doesn't regret being the wol he still embraces it because in his mind if he doesn't who will#and there many things he does enjoy and take pride in about it#the death he leaves in his wake is not it.#but zenos knows or believes that he's capable of it. the slaughter. that he's denying himself enjoyment of it. clinging to morality#so it takes on a new flavor of not just zenos doing everything he does for the *opportunity* to fight meteor. it's to bring out what#he believes is meteor's ''true self''#he's so desperate for connection that he projects himself onto this guy that's really his complete opposite#even when meteor engages in violence - willingly. even when meteor is driven to revenge like in HW. it is not done with pleasure.#zenos doesn't see that though

WHAT?! Is the anniversary of Bionicle?
And here I am, without much to share visually AAAAAA BUT HEY! I decided to compile my fav bunch of art I did during those years of the Reboot/G2 that made me rediscover such a cool franchise (and the last artworks are two of the most modern ones).
Plus, I can really say that without these art experimentations, I wouldn't have developed so many of my modern rendering techniques!
So, cheers to it and everyone that keeps enjoying it and/or found a muse in it like I did x)
This brand too has the privilege of being my true first robot hell bahaha
#myart#lego bionicle#bionicle#bionicle day#810nicle#whenifellinrobothell#legends to keep telling#idk what i have a journal if i dont use the calendar RIP#still not the first anniversary i missed this year same happened with digimon's skdfhksjf orz#but in all seriously: the range of art styles this brand made me try during 2-3 years of what the reboot lasted was the craziest thing ever#to this day i cant believe the amount of experimentation i poured in each piece#not showcased here but i tried too sequential art/mute comics and is WOHA for me#Windy of the past had lots of fun without doubt#im glad for her: i know i did it because was during my first stressing year of the career#this was a great escape for my brain and art skills that wasnt as perfectionism-driven like my graphic design projects#-squinting at the “recent art”- cheeses one of two years and one of the past year#TIME FLIES TOO FAST

Did I make a whole poll asking you guys what you wanted to see first cause I couldn't decide?
Yes.
Did I also finish my exams, Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Boom causing my brain to go down an unintended path??
Also yes.
#I'm working on project hedgehog. scout's honor#but also it's very story driven and I didn't plan it out the best so I'm working on it

also the fact that you can't criticise rtd as a showrunner without somebody popping out of a hole in the ground to be like "oh but steven moffatt also had issues as a showrunner—" can you shut the fuck up for a second this isn't "sherlock is garbage and here's why" i'm talking about a different guy entirely
#dw#i do think steve's writing has been frequently misogynistic and a lot of his plot arcs suck balls.#but now that i've got that mandatory disclaimer out of the way#i have never heard anything bad about behind the scenes conditions on his era of the show#actors who worked with him on dw are generally positive about him and happy to work with him on other projects#nobody got forced off the show or driven to quit acting#nobody got like. flashed or molested or forcibly kissed by their co-stars#and yet people physically cannot stop bringing up moffatt like 'his writing is annoying sometimes' is an issue on the same level.#like idk i don't read/watch interviews much or keep up with news about actors so maybe there is criticism that i missed!#but there doesn't seem to be anything on the level of the bullshit chris eccleston in particular put up with under rtd

Honestly, I'm really grateful that my brain isn't wired to jump from hyperfixation to hyperfixation. It has its own unique drawbacks, sure, but I've always found it really comforting that I know what to expect from myself.
#falling out of love with my own projects is something I find really oddly horrifying#but the only time I really ever stop loving something is if the thing itself gives me a reason not to like it#the only reason I ever really stopped doing VOH fanart is because the fandom for it dried up completely and my my job at the time demanded#all of my art attention#i've still drawn the characters a few times since then tho#I still love them with all of my heart lol#same with slayers and sailor moon#and ofc my love for dmc revs back up into action every time a new game comes out#(looking at the reboot) not you#been hyperfixated on resident evil since 1996 lol#killer instinct since 1994#god now that's a thing why have I never done modern killer instinct fanart? Sabrewulf's new design is a chef kiss#I've got my ancient KI fanart from the 90s have I ever posted it for you guys lmao it's amazing. all the love a 10 year old can pour#as we speak I have some of my voh doujin [hush you they're clean/story driven ones] on my desk bc I was reading through them again#anyway my point is... there's a few things I fell out of love with ofc#but those were all for actual 'story jumped the shark/tied to a bad experience' reasons#I'm thankful that my exact form of audhd doesn't come with jumping hyperfixations#ofc this means you're stuck with soli#stuck with it forever#(villainous thunderclash)#I love tumblr's post culture most of this post is in the goddamn tags

the stan twins both having giant egos juxtaposed with their crippling self worth and shame being a huge part of their lives...
#both being codependent and being stuck in that moment when they were 18....#truly the brothers of all time!!!#ford likely thinking he wasn't as dependent but the fact that most of his other relationships in his life was trying to fill that void#him truly caring for dipper but not him about to use his nephew as another replacement while projecting heavily on him😭#the mention that ford wouldn't be able to take care of that poor kid's anxiety and it would've just ended up with dipper becoming a wreck..#the stan twins both being canonically super unqualified to take care of kids lmao#soos being the son of all time#but like thank god his abuelita was such a big part of his life#the characterisation given to her in soos bday ep is genuinely great#that interview alex did when tbob was being made emphasising how ford was driven by shame#when did he finish writing the wheel of shame i wonder...#i understand what ford meant when he said being a twin is suffocating (even if he stated it in a terrible way kashdskdha)#i'm hardly that close with my sisters but i very much know what to feel like to be known as '[]'s sibling' for a huge chunk of my life#and being compared constantly and not really being seen as my own person at times#and im pretty sure my lil sis had it even worse#and meanwhile the stan twins only really had each other

last reblog is reminding me of how every single person I knew who was into Pokemon Infinite Fusion immediately dropped the game like a sack of shit when they announced they were gonna start using AI in the game
and I'm just like
are you guys deaf to what the indie communities have been saying about AI? how are you guys missing every hint that using generative stuff on your games is a death sentence?
#I know they back paddled on using AI in infinite fusion#but at that point your good will has been permanently damaged#and good will is what drives all indie projects#ESPECIALLY for a project like infinite fusion where such a gigantic part of the project is driven by artists#and there's so many people out there who would gladly help you with that work just for the sake of keeping the project alive and well#also if you're a pro ai chud coming across this post don't even bother commenting or messaging me that's an instant block

it's truly so evil and twisted (pos) that cao cao was so sweet on guan yu for that time he had him work under him
i love a man that commits to his bit and doesnt pander
#rotk posting#this is the kind of visionary that gets things done#though projecting this back onto the modern day there is indeed the fine line between being driven and being cemented in your ways#(continues to ruminate)#i love what this says about winning over people#ive been rotisserieing this concept in my head for a while on how people can never be convinced to change save choosing it for themselves#and how people choose their narratives to preserve their own ego#i'm hoping to explore some of these themes while writing svp but#hmm....

maybe Dan being mean to Phil annoys me because it reminds me of a part of myself which I don't like hajsndjkd
#in the split fiction videos it's like dan starts out going “oh my god come on how did you fuck that up” whenever Phil made a mistake#but then as the video goes on he works to just laugh it off and go “i believe in you. you got this phil”#and then the vibes improve#this is probably projection but i feel like dan has the same trauma-driven attack dog instinct as me#like in the reacting to ditl video where he said “i can be gentle now”#can anyone hear me#idk it's nice to see him trying to unlearn his hater instinct in videos like the split fiction videos#because the vibes really are so much better when he's being nice and encouraging to Phil#instead of just instantly calling him an idiot for not being able to do something#even if it is light-hearted
