Prematurely prepping an itch page for my Astrea mod Made this for the cover image
You'll all see for yourselves when the mod is done and the page is up But I put more effort into making it look nice than I thought I would be. And that's filling me with motivation to keep going and finish it so i can get it out to everyone Added a screenshot feature just to get screenshots for the page too. Gamemaker has a function specifically for that which is pretty cool I'm also recording footage as I go for a trailer that i'll post when i'm done too
#undertale#undertale yellow#uty#undertale au#uty mod#I put alot of effort into making her pigtails look smooth#not that you can see it with her body in the way lol#but yeah things are going smooth#working on some of the other snowdin npcs first#then i'm gonna finish elsie's *basic* cutscenes#and then work on her house interior's decore#and some fun value stuff

big into taking that 60s retrofuturism utopian future that’s also got an inevitably dated sensibility that’s presented in tos and running with it. like sure we can cure nearly any physical ailment with ease and without any cost to the patient but we still call ptsd symptoms shell shock. we’re all free love but we’ve got a space navy so people can make up weird complexes about homosexuality for themselves. it’s the juice that tos remakes are missing i think. that and all the chunky buttons and beeping booping sounds
#star trek#txt#my thoughts. i like to take some of it at face value i think it’s fun to use the 60s viewpoint as a means for world building#like starfleets weird about fraternizing rules. or the enterprise has a smoking lounge like an airport. it’s good stuff to me

one sided // mutual
still obsessed with the intimacy of body language when the faces are obscured. inspired in part by Mead Schaefer's limitted palette paintings
#illustration#oc art#art#wolfgang#bastien#wolfien#happy wolfgang wednesday !! i wasnt sure i was gonna finish this but then i got possessed and wanted to do some fun value stuff#very happy with this though i did find out my new screen shows different colors than my phone :X hope it looks decent lol#still and forever in love with people looking at each other sorry. fav topic really#and! love changing people and how they are around each other even if they wont talk about it??#forever weak for how Bastien fell in love first but if Wolf never realized he would have died with that secret inside him i guess#and Wolfgang letting themself be more of a pathetic in love person than an Object of desire because they want to get closer to him#and Bastien barely keeping himself from touching them wahoo#anyway. i did Not work on the comic im gonna go whip myself goodnight

it probably is insane how much I wish I could express the thing about spones. the vibes about spones. Like there's the joking fun fandom vibes and I love them, I love to play with them, of course of course. but the THING. the CORE to me. i wish i could capture it and share it.
#like. the constancy. like the friction matters because it's hand in hand with the steadfastness you know? and it doesn't preclude tenderness#also climbing into the mind of the person you've been obsessed with understanding and being understood by.#and the fact that it's lifelong. and the teasing. and the fact that the growth is in the allowance of imperfections#allowing that imperfections exist in who you love allows you to love them allows you to love yourself#and i always love people knowing what you believe and bolstering it when you feel lost even when it's not their philosophy#(bones asking spock hope? isn't that a human failing? and him not allowing that#spock losing himself to emotion in all our yesterdays and bones reminding him how antithetical that is to him)#but even with all that seriousness - the TEASING. the plain fun. the constant reaching out regardless of their moods#the constant seeking each other out. the almost - given nature of the relationship.#it's not in some ways as dramatic as a Simple Feeling as the When I Think of You I Feel Shame.#it's bones growing into old age the human way one day at a time with spock#when people are like oh spock just put his katra in him because he was there - yeah. and he was always going to be the one who was there#this is why the earth moon sun metaphor works for the triumvirate so much better than sun moon stars imo#bones is the earth spock is the moon kirk is the sun#'the captain was indispensable'#the sun - a distant lifegiver to them and many others. they do revolve around it. have unique relationships to it#the earth revolutes the sun which brings it life. the moon has a face it only shows the sun#and the moon revolutes the earth. their gravity shapes each other. they reach out to each other. they formed in a collision outward#in some ways are entirely different but have the same stuff in them. spin the same.#idk it just makes so much sense for them all.#but even just getting back to them. again just the obsession with each others mind.#'i will never understand the medical mind' 'mathematically perfect brainwaves'#and then complimenting each other always so startlingly out of the blue with their own fields -#'you have a good bedside manner spock' 'perhaps if they had your ingenuity they would have'#the seeking each other's advice out even if it's just to argue with it lmao. the motif of their last words always going to each other#even wrath of khan - we know spock was talking to bones in his head. i do always wonder what was in their tsfs reunion scene#that shatner didn't want to happen.#I don't know and even this isn't the heart of it.#there's the families and the way they fit into each other's conception and value and weight of family#do i even tag this spones. this is just crazy rambling.

sorry hi last reblog has me thinking about how i havent played in awhile. i haven't been a fan of the recent updates they're far too 'content production'-y for me. but i just want to express i think many of the best moments in gw2 story have been when the writing is utter camp slop that the writers were clearly extremely emotionally invested in, completely regardless of their production timeframes or budget. my opinion basically is guild wars 2 is better when it's worse
#my stuff#technically id say pof had really high production value but it was also such an anomaly right#hot off the heels of HoT with both nothing and everything to lose#i admire their tactic of being like what can we do to redeem our objectively sort of mid mmo after our first xpac just bombed?#we know. kill the player character. [american psycho william dafoe forehead slap gif]#no but really i do think its a problem its trying to be more 'professional' now#its choking itself trying to do the same things that major riot and blizz releases do#where theyre really high budget polished formulaic. like a marvel movie#except gw2 doesnt even have that budget now still so what theyre effectively accomplishing is choking the soul out of it#while also making it less unique compared to every other comparable product out there#i dont think people really like mmos because theyre 'good' they like them because theyre fun and generally let you do whatever you want#i think ones that do a better job financially seem to be ones that focus foremost on how fun combat is#and secondly how much they can indulge the player in various silly whimsies. which involve money#this is often why the stories are great. and camp. because they are often shafted and therefore bad#and therefore some random gay writer can shoehorn in whatever weird eccentric horseslop they want#random stealth trans writer whos cubicle has dune figurines in it: yeah this chapter will mostly focus on the main characters emotional --#conflicts and bodily autonomy juxtaposed with the lore of our magic universe's growing entropy#execs: ok. well can that be gamified? is it toyetic?#writer: yeah sure#execs: right sounds fine we'll just ship whatever it is then#but then they start firing everyone and bringing in third parties who write based off 'market research' and not vibes or art#and thats when it gets actual bad bad

once in a while i contemplate what was going to happen to evan, back in season 1 when he asked for the Procedure to Make Him Normal. because, like, we realized that that's a lie, right? we realized at the big reveal that there isn't anything that makes someone capable or incapable of magic; everyone on earth could do magic if they were aware of it and were taught how to do it. there wasn't a thing that could be taken out or a switch that could be flipped; everyone was magic all along, had been even before some british assholes built a secret society on it. evan was never going to stop being magic.
so, like, what was philtrum's plan. were they going to just wipe evan's memories and drop him back where he was before? would they try to erase all of evan's memories that involve magic, including all the scary demon shit that happened throughout his life? or would they just cut out his knowledge of gowpenny, and essentially rewind him to before he got that first owl? if he doesn't remember gowpenny, he's not gonna remember that he was supposed to have a procedure that fixed him anyway, so what does it matter?
i don't remember clearly, but i believe (?) the whole procedure thing was one of the ways philtrum was trying to get the whole pilot program declared a failure, so maybe wiping all their memories and sending them back without knowledge of gowpenny or magic or each other was always part of her plan. but even if they no longer remember what magic is, they will still have the potential of magic, and that could be an issue with evan, right? philtrum and co. don't know everything about evan's demon stuff, but she must've noticed from the beginning that something about evan isn't right. evan's familiar is his own shadow; in every conversation with him, evan has spoken of magic as something that he had a pre-existing relationship with (namely, a bad relationship where he is scared of magic because it has caused bad stuff to happen to him). for all the others, if gowpenny was removed from their lives, may never cast another spell again, but it's hard to be sure of that with evan; philtrum didn't know concrete details about the demons, but she also didn't know that sam managed to charm them into leaving. what happens if Bad Magic Shit happens to evan again, and something leads evan to remembering or finding out about gowpenny anyway? evan could be some kind of prophecied dark wizard, which probably isn't a foreign concept for a headmistress who runs a school where there is a whole house for kids who've been labeled evil; if they return him to america and he's left to his own devices, how can they be sure that he doesn't Cause Problems for wizard society later?
what i mean is. we already know philtrum's tried multiple times to get evan killed; we know she feels contempt for the pilot program and want to get rid of them and protect the status quo. and evan has no family to go back to; the only people who would care enough to miss him would have no way of knowing where he's gone and what's happened to him, and hopefully would not remember him once this whole ordeal was over.
she was probably going to kill him, right? like, why waste time performing complex magic brain surgery on this kid? she's got no issues with lying, manipulation, and child murder. if evan had ended up going to the nebulous Appointment, philtrum was probably going to straight up kill him, or at least try to. and for the first time in his life, the shadows and demons wouldn't be around to protect him.
#laughs awkwardly#dimension 20#misfits and magic spoilers#anyway just some fun thoughts to chew on. man philtrum's corpse was such a funny saga#EDIT: i feel like maybe this is worth adding. at the core of all this is#regardless of whether or not there actually exists such a Procedure. philtrum has been trying to kill this kid this whole time#and he is now agreeing to go with her on his own and let magic stuff be done to him. why WOULDN'T she kill him#he's finally isolated and heading into a situation with the understanding that none of his friends would hear from him again. so like.#without public pressure of the big debate that the pilot program represents. what value does evan being alive provide to philtrum?

The unlabeled flag picked from this one frame of Zuko!!
#fuck it. be indecipherable#/j#atla zuko#zuko atla#prince zuko#zuko#colorpicked flags#pride flag#lgbtq#lgbtqia#lgbtq community#a:tla#atla#avatar: the last airbender#avatar the last airbender#sometime further along the atla timeline. i like to think that zuko had identified as unalabled for some time#however short or however long it had been. it was surely a time of polotical gossip lmfao#like#'the grandson of firelord who abolished same sex relationships was seen near councilman sokka!? the word msit spread'#<- that kinda stuff wouldve definitely have been fun. imagining my poor guy just straight up confused as well#like he does not know that well either but hes somewhere there and pretty ok with it. and not helping the gossip lmfao#unlabeled#unlabeled sexuality#unlabeled gender#unlabaled pride#unlabeled flag#honestly he'd slay hard as a kyoshi warrior. and out-of-toch fire nation mediums would go crazy#especially not knowing the cultural value of it lol#imo zuko wouldn't mind identifying as unlabeled all that much. would it had been troubling in his teens? yes and also later on#just some fun hc and political shenanigans w/ unable to define lgbt identities getting sprinkled in the tags again :>

So outside of the bond quest events and main story, the characters in Azuma get pretty shallow characterization, huh?
#guardians of azuma#goa#goa spoilers#idk if it counts as spoilers but better safe than sorry lol#i didn't notice it as much when i still had main story stuff to get through but damn interacting with these characters day-to-day is boring#and like every game like this is going to reach a point eventually where you run out of new stuff and it's the same lines over and over#that's the nature of being constructs of humans who couldn't create infinite conversation possibilities after all#but that's not the problem happening here#the daily conversations are at the level of idle small talk at best#the hangout feature (which couldve been real nice) does nothing to put these characters in context (especially not for the low-level hangou#just a five second silent cutscene and an 'i liked this/i hated this'#great you wanna elaborate on that? no?#i ask you about your family and i dont get to learn more about your family or your aversion to the topic?#why even bother then? if thats the feature that means we dont get interesting chats then i wish they'd have just dropped it#and dont even get me started on the fun facts on everyone's profiles#this stuff would've formed the basis for the daily convos in other games but now it's just a little blurb#that you might get a little more context on through events if you're lucky#like murasame's apparently scared of birds? that's sure never come up outside of his character profile from what ive seen#and with ulalaka so intent looking out for him and her having her little bird there was certainly opportunities to at least mention it#even if it's not a little skit maybe a line like 'yeah i tried to get him to slow down but he went running when he saw plenty :('#or however normally cool calm collected murasame actually reacts to birds but now i just have to guess because its not in context#a small detail to get hung up on as an example maybe but small details like that are what make the convos in other games more entertaining#like jones has 4-5 daily conversations on why he hates tomato juice but is trying to aversion therapy himself anyway in 4#that's way more interesting than reading a little fun fact#it's just wasted potential and that's disappointing#like the game is trying to rush you through to the dating/marriage phase and discounting the value of the little everyday buildups#hell i started dating kaguya and at the bare minimum i would think she would get some more romantic lines mixed in to the normal list#but nope she's still saying the exact same things she was before i started dating her but with one extra line in there to summarize one of#her character events (not adding any interesting comment on the event just summarizing it)#if i just wanted a dating sim i would go play a dating sim

my favourite writing device is having an un-Rei-liable narrator
#rei#volo#cheren#// tikposting#// character meta#the crowd booes me off the stage#forgive the pun XDDD his name is too easy to pun on#the way i write it it's not a conscious choice. it's just how the pov character (rei) experiences and contextualises the world#revealing backstory and personality and mindset through narration !!!!#not necessarily out of malice it's just. how he views things#interpreting new and foreign experiences through the lens of what came before...#conversations which read differently to different people.#in the context of rei that's stuff like unease around authority figures#always choosing his words carefully to project an image of competence (he has to be needed)#distrust and not taking things at face value but also paradoxically a fragile and nurtured sense of almost blind optimism#when it comes to friendships. like volo. (everyone turned on me when the sky turned red but it all resolved itself in the end didn't it?)#(what makes this different? / a lot of things. / i choose to believe)#volo [directly]: “i won't be stopped from my goal” rei thoughts: we can work with this!!!!#and everything with Arceus too and his divine blessings and a plan that will work out in the end#if Rei can just... figure out what part he's meant to play. interpreting events as a narrative hurtling towards some unknown conclusion#i am talking about rei here specifically but this writing device is so good in general#would be fun to try get inside volo's head. there's so much going on there i don't understand yet#quite fond of that one analysis post about how volo lacks emotional intelligence and sees relationships as transactions#not necessarily out of malice it's just how he views things. whether because of past experience or brain chemistry#also need to give a shout to cheren my guy who is an outsider pov who projects his own experiences onto new things so that he Understands#(an outsider to Hilbert and N's clash of truth and ideals. life changing experience and knowledge but felt just a little off to the left)#(the narrative repeated again with new heroes. all he can do is help them but it falls on their shoulders in the end)#(no wonder he tries to insert himself into Situations)#anyway tag ramble over feel free to also ramble to me about your takes XD#rei pokemon

actually first ep of Voyager where Janeway talks to Tuvok about how his family misses him is that when she says they Worry about him Tuvok contradicts her and claims that Vulcans don't do that but when she corrects and says they Miss him he accepts this and admits he misses them too; implying perhaps a pedantic difference between 'Vulcans do not Feel Emotions' (false) and 'Vulcans do not Act Out of Emotion' (accurate) -> 'Miss/Longing' is an emotion, but 'Worry' is an action one does out of emotion -> one Vulcans do; one Vulcans do not.
#N posts stuff#continuation of thoughts from my last post bc i can smell the counterarguments of 'vulcans are not emotional and are#therefore not impulsive and therefore no vulcan child Would run off unattended' which is Wrong#but also a half formulated thought regarding: how often characters will CLAIM that 'vulcans don't do X' and how often#people take that at face value instead of accepting it as like. a character motivated Lie that is being told lol#ie) when Spock claims 'Vulcans don't Have emotions' this is a lie he tells because 1) it's funny to him or 2) this is an Exaggerated#expectation he feels put on him BC other vulcans are more ready to judge his behavior based purely on the knowledge of his#half human genetics -> Spock is forced to hold a Higher standard just to get others to acknowledge they are Minimally equal#ALT: we do Know that Vulcan emotions are deeper/more intense than they visibly show; it doesn't feel Standardized to me that#daily Vulcan culture would DENY the existence of emotions entirely (unless one undergoes Kohlinar which seems to be a Rarer#and more Intense lifestyle Choice SOME vulcans make) bc that Feels like it would be a Lie which wouldn't be Logical to uphold#BUT i Can see conversations About those emotions being one of those things Vulcans keep extraordinarily close to their chest#in Amok Time Spock was ready to Die before he'd tell anyone about a biochemical process his body was experiencing; I can see#emotions as a whole being an almost Equally intimate thing to share w/ outsiders -> hence the 'Vulcans Don't experience emotion'#claim being made in broader Outside society ; you'd talk about it w/ other vulcans but Not with a bunch of humans#(Spock being an arguable Exception to this standard BC of the 'has to uphold a Higher Standard just to be permitted on even ground)#this post is a lot of thinking aloud idk how much coherence there is here but it's fun to think about on many paths

what if i said i actually love too weird to live, too rare to die and think it’s underrated. what then.
#idk at least the time i’ve lurked around p!atd fandom stuff it feels like no one ever brought up this album 😭😭#vices and virtues too but at least then there was still leftover ryan ross scraps to hold onto#but like. idk i like the dark las vegas vibes of twtltrtd#i’m not the biggest fan of this is gospel but once you get past it it’s got some bangers ngl#one super minor gripe with the album is that i think the brobecks version of far too young to die is better than the twtltrtd version#it’s minor but it’s true. listen to both versions of the song and you’ll understand#my only real complaints though are just with the lyrical content of girls/girls/boys and casual affair#i like the songs themselves but the lyrics….. who let them cook actually#what was brendon doing. why are you singing about affairs like that whilst you’re a fully married man. ????#but honestly the transition towards the end of the album to more romantic songs is nice#i think it fits well and is a good way to slowly die the energy down without completely squashing it#the end of all things is genuinely a beautiful song but an even more beautiful ending to the album#the lyrics are brendon’s wedding vows and the piano is very nice#i like the effects on the vocals and i think they were a good choice to make everything even more cohesive#it doesn’t take away from the emotional value of the song and it also makes it fit better on the album than if it were just a regular#kind of piano ballad#but then also having collar full be the song leading up to it? even better#i fucking love collar full and agh. having it lead into the end of all things is perfect for it#it’s fun on its own but it’s even better in context i think#anyways. too weird to live too rare to die is an alright pop rock album. go listen to it if you want#me.txt

#i was considering purchasing a fancy one to celebrate stuff but honestly idgaf about like... precious metals or whatever fdsjkl#gold is boring and idc about silver. copper is more interesting to me#idc about monetary value LOL i just like when things look nice and are fun ^_^#so i figured just making a necklace myself would be the better way to go. also it is cheaper LOL#and ! i get the satisfaction and joy of knowing i put it together myself !!#its like my necklace that i made by just looping some gears through a chain -#- when ppl compliment it and ask where i got it i get to tell them proudly that i made it myself :3 and theyre always so intrigued LOL#but then i get to tell them they can make one easily themselves too !! they just need to find a necklace chain and some gears!! easy peasy!#aaaanyways. i'm rambling. i'm excited about the charms though yayyy i've been meaning to do this for a few months LOL#i just. keep putting it off. bc going to stores is scary and tiring fdsjkl#dandy.cmd

”ah yes I love projecting on characters”
“Electra likes digging through vintage/thrift shops looking for random designer stuff”
#i have found some weirdly nice designer stuff at them#only thing i can’t project is looking for roberto cavalli because the very 70s looks work better on me vs them#(That brand doesn’t have good resale value and leads to fun stuff for cheap)

7 8 and 21 for Ann?
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
Hmm. There's a few things but tbh I really enjoy all the redesigns of her thief outfit people do! I really like the directions people take with it and honestly they are always better than the original. Also bonus I LOVE when people give her boots/shoes with toe beans. S tier design right there.
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
There's a few things I could say but I think aside from the obvious I think a lot of people underestimate her. Both intelligence wise and just character wise in general. They see her as "the lovers girl" or "the other dumb one" and idk she's way more than that.
21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?
I would not call myself a fic writer at all LMAO I have written snippets and obvs I'm working on my stuff but I have unfortunately not written enough of Ann (something I am trying to change lol).
#asks#latenitewaffles#this is kinda short sorry#ig for the last question i enjoy thinking about her friendship with riku does that count 💀#i have never written it but the head stories go hard trust me#does the second one make sense? idk i just people don't really let her be a character sometimes?#or like they just take her at face value THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY#and yeah the redesigns are always fun#i should try one myself but tbh i actually wouldn't change tooo much#just add some things and take stuff away#i am trying to write more but tbh i find it hard...#thanks for the ask teddy :]#ann my beloved. you may be my fav persona character#<- insane statement considering my history but no joke i think shes slightly taken the top spot#VERY VERY close though
