The Horror and the Wild CD Booklet

Gonna share some of my initial pages from my booklet cos it's not done but other people's excitement is driving me. I'm still considering colours for the opening pages but I'm really pleased with how The Rockrose and the Thistle & Horror and the Wild turned out!

Charles Rowland x Stick Around - Nolune

Dedicated to @babyseraphim, who introduced me to this song back in September and prompted a mutual spiral into insanity over the sheer Charles-ness of the lyrics. They spurned me to create this comic with their unending enthusiasm and repeated promises to lose their mind if I did. Here’s to you bestie; thank you for never losing faith in me and this comic, and my condolences to your sanity. <3

Also for @charles-rowland-week day 7: free day. This very possibly would have sat as half-finished linework forever if my desire to contribute something to the event (along with Nimm’s encouragement) hadn’t pushed me into finally picking it up again, so thank you enormously to the event organizers for that <3

Did you know that every taiko game on DS line of systems has touch controls!

They were often bundled with two styluses to take advantage of this! Its honestly quite the comfortable set up once you get used to it.

Apologies for this frankly... underwhelming video

the set up I utilized to record this isnt the most ideal in terms of input lag haha... but you can see on the bottom screen where im tapping!

me: *found some bespoke tailoring guy making suits on youtube*

tailoring guy: *using just so much jargon*

me: bro, I know sewing stuff and even I don't know wtf you're saying, how are the cis guys who have never touched a needle meant to follow this

me: well, I guess maybe there's some guys rly into suit construction on sewing reddi-

me: wait a minute- I'm on sewing reddit! I know there is barely anyone doing suit construction on there! My point stands!!!

🌊🦦 Summer Beach Time 🦦🌊

soooo i made comments in the tags of another piece i made about how i want to go to the beach (or a lake tbh, he's a lake guy) with him, and watch him get the zoomies in the water and just. walk around and make the 🥺 face at me when i'm sitting at the edge of the water and he wants to be close.

(i'm obsessed with this pair of dino pattern trunks... ren core...)

The amount of third part programs you have to download just to get Windows 11 to be slightly less of a flaming bag of dicks is ridiculous.

[wildwood-faun]

installed gboard to get the fun emoji mashups but if it doesn't pick up what words I like to use in what order soon I'm going to ditch it again

[wyverncult]

everyone remind me to stop trying to line in CSP its ruining my life

[ssruis]

I was gonna say “rui kamishiro graphic design arc… critiquing the design of random flyers he’s just like me” and then I remembered how atrociously ugly his coat/robot designs are (said fondly). Ykw rui I don’t want to hear graphic design thoughts from someone who seems fundamentally incapable of putting together a color palette that doesn’t hurt my eyes.

Reading a manual and it being wrong is one of the worst things ever

[arolesbianism]

Hello oni lore fans, I have been fighting for my life to solve a lil mystery and I decided to finally clean up one of the logs I copy and pasted from the code so I can hopefully find someone else who's seen it in game before. It's called "a seed is planted" and I'm pretty sure it was in the research notes section, but in the code it's placed alongside the story trait logs so I'm not 100% confident where it's supposed to be found. I first saw it in a save that I was using sandbox mode to hunt for lore with, and it stuck around for a lil while before disappearing, and then it randomly came back for a lil bit before all my lore logs got wiped with the recent update. I have no idea how I got it in the first place nor what made it disappear and come back, so I'm basically just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with this particular log (or any logs for that matter)

I have copy and pasted the log under the cut, although the formatting might be a bit off as this was cleaned up from a copy paste directly from the code itself

"A Seed is Planted"

[LOG BEGINS]

Three days ago, we completed our first non-fatal Duplicant trial of Nikola's comprehensive synapse microanalysis and mirroring process. Five hours from now, Subject #901 will make history as our first human test subject.

Even at the Vertex Institute, which is twice Gravitas's size, I could've spent half my career waiting for approval to advance to human trials for such an invasive process! But Director Stern is too invested in this work to let it stagnate.

My darling Bruce always said that when you're on the right path, the universe conspires to help you. He'd be so proud of the work we do here.

[LOG ENDS]

[LOG BEGINS]

My bio-printed multi-cerebral storage chambers (or "mega minds" as I've been calling them) are working! Just in time to save my job.

The Director's been getting increasingly impatient about our struggle to maintain the integrity of our growing datasets during extraction and processing. The other day, she held my report over a Bunsen burner until the flames reached her fingertips.

I can only imagine how much stress she's under.

The whole world is counting on us.

[LOG BEGINS]

On a hunch, I added dream content analysis to the data and...wow. Oneirology may be scientifically "fluffy", but integrating subconscious narratives has produced a new type of brainmap - one with more latent potential for complex processing.

If these results are replicable, we might be on the verge of unlocking the secret to creating synthetic life forms with the capacity to evolve beyond blindly following commands.

Nikola says that's irrelevant for our purposes. Surely Director Stern would disagree.

[LOG ENDS]

[LOG BEGINS]

Nikola gave me a dataset to plug into the mega minds. He wouldn't say where it came from, but even if he had...nothing could have prepared me for what it contained.

When he saw my face, he muttered something about how people should call me "Tremors," not "Nails" and sent me on my lunch break.

All I could think about was those poor souls.

Did they have souls?

...do we?

[LOG ENDS]

[LOG BEGINS]

It's done. My adjustments to the memory transfer protocol are hardcoded into the machine.

I finished just as Nikola stormed in.

I may be too much of a coward to stand up for those unfortunate creatures, but with these new parameters in place...someday, they might be able to stand up for themselves.

Sometimes I wish there was a "Canadian English" option on keyboards because we generally sort of use a mix of US and UK phrases and spellings, so no matter what we do we're always fighting with autocorrect.

never in my life did i think i need to makeout with a piece of software so badly but here we are i guess
