when you're proved wrong immediately after speaking

[sacasone]

got some clockface posting

[furiarossa]

You should do a redesign of Clockwork, or Pariah Dark if you’ve already done Clockwork.

So let's start off big, shall we? Having to re-design one of the fandom's favorite characters... hmmm... prepare to see him completely butchered!

Or better... prepare to see them completely butchered. We love the idea of strong, elemental ghosts being sexless, genderless creatures, just forces of nature. Leeeet's go!

Here's our new babey:

Clockface

(Just as Clockwork does not show in his drawing any inner workings of mechanical devices, Clockface, obviously, does not show his face XD. Also, Clockwork would have been a very uncharacteristic name for the kind of stories we write, so we definitely had to change it)

Clockface is a nodal ghost (we'll expand on that later, for now the explanation is only available in Italian) with a chronokinetic core.

Appearance 

Clockface, like all nodal ghosts, has an inhuman appearance. 

They're conceptually connected to clocks, calendars, the concept of lost time, and the color purple. 

Despite being entirely composed of ectoplasm, their upper and lower body appear noticeably different: the upper, constantly ticking, resembles a steampunk robot, with gears and "metallic" parts, while the lower is more similar to that of a "common" spiritual entity, with a variable and smoky shape, but which becomes increasingly fragmented, and rotten and decaying, going lower. 

They wear a white mask, which does not hide any face, but only other gears, which in turn protect their core. Their eyes are not located on his head, but on his chest, and are a bright purple color, the same as their aura.

Trivia

They are not a particularly well-liked spirit, and as such there are many nicknames given to them by the other inhabitants of the Otherworld. One of these is simply his name, but without the L.

Clockface is not completely incapable of speaking without singing, but is so obsessed with the idea of ​​"keeping time" that they must sing it vocally. It seems that the metronome that is implanted in their chest was somehow not originally part of their body, but had it implanted.

Clockface is capable of possessing clocks, but has such respect for the passage of time that they always ends up not changing them in any way; a clock possessed by Clockface looks and acts like a normal clock.

Here are the sketches we used to build their design: (with some extra explanations and the visualization of what is the mask actually hiding!)

As you can see, at the start their design was much more similar to Clockwork, we just established that we wanted the weird clockwork-seethrough-head, and then slowly we worked to change it to the final result!

So, ta-da! From this to this:

We'll slowly post all the re-designed and re-written characters HERE. And we'll also post more art, concepts and worldbuilding related to them!

Also HERE the original post in which we talking about redesigning DP characters.

While I love that the Head will ignore practically everything screwed up in The City (ie. Lob Corp and post-Library of Ruina), but god forbid a sentient piece of code gets a smidgen of emotions or anyone attempts to bring back the dead with the practically limitless scope of technology the Districts possess...or not paying taxes, that's also a must. But with ongoing dilemma of what Dante is exactly (might count as AI since (forced) memory wipes don't work on him), it's only a matter of time before they send out the big guns for being a walking Taboo. I mean, the Limbus gang found Dante in D CORP, literally a block away from the Big Three and T Corp also being incredibly handsy with any and every clock in their home turf, but I'm pretty sure he's just going through a reverse Angela arc with all the implications sprinkled around. But hey, the parallels are still there so that's neat :)

[i-havenothingelsetopost]

one feature i enjoy in my current workplace is that it's full of clocks but only one of them is right more than twice a day

[hncdhnmfr]

Good Evening! I've been busy working on a large scale piece for Katana 0's 5th anniversary. But, I took a break to fulfill my word to make Dante from LCB! I think his arms look kind of awkward, but overall am happy with the outcome. See y'all around for the next one!

Working on one of the first re-designs requested in the asks: Clockwork.

(Or better, Clockface, hehe. New name for the guy comes with redesign)..

Missiles and Meal Service: The Hidden Toll of Flying in War-zones

Common occupational hazards in aviation; the not so new flight deck stressors would encompass turbulence, delayed pushbacks, and that one passanger having an issue with someone reclining their seat (this is so very common, believe me). Let’s not forget another one who thinks the seatbelt sign doesn’t apply to them while on active runway (because they are just itching for a snack they left inside their carry-on luggage in the overhead bin. Opens bin, then bag falls off on them and everyone around. SMH)

Back to business. Pilots and cabin crew flying over the Middle East lately, especially in and out of Qatar, well, there’s a new, less subtle source of anxiety: missile attacks. Who doesn’t know the news by now?

Yes, flying into Doha these days might involve dodging airspace closures, U.S. airbase targets, and the occasional Iranian and Israeli news. Glamorous, right?

Very.

While passengers worry about delayed in-flight meals and Wi-Fi speeds being too slow or disconnecting , the crew up front and in the aisles are dealing with something much much heavier: the psychological toll of flying through a region where geopolitics are very unpredictable, stormy, and always just over the horizon.

What Happened in Qatar Exactly, you ask?

In resent years, we’ve witnessed sensitive airspaces and in response, airlines have shut down their airspaces. Flights being rerouted faster than a teenager dodging chores have become commonplace, and airline dispatchers around the world had one collective panic attack.

Now just imagine this. Inflight, flight crew are prepping beverage carts while air defence systems light up the radar. Boom-Chaka-Boom! Just another day in the skies.

Cabin Pressure: Flying with a Side of Adrenaline

Yes, crew (deck crew and cabin crew) are trained to handle demarcates, but war is not an average Emmergency! It’s one thing to worry about fuel efficiency. It’s another to fly over a region where missiles are a real-time hazard.

There is a huge difference between trusting an aircraft, the team, and trusting geopolitics.

Constant anticipatory anxiety.

Hypervigilance, even on layovers.

The unsettling knowledge that their aircraft might share airspace with defense drones, military jets, and… well, more missiles.

Hospitality Meets Hostility

Cabin crew, as you know, are the face of calm, smile and all. Even so, smiling while you serve fish, beef and a gluten free meal on a flight skimming a conflict zone? That’s dark art right there.

Results:

Crew becoming emotionally disconnected from their jobs.

Guilt when evacuating people while others are left behind. 2020 clears throat!

Luxury inflight service inside a pressure cooker floating mid air at 40,000 feet while those on ground are ducking. Definately dystopian!

More Fuel, More Detours, More Fatigue

Yep! Practical stress:

Flights being rerouted to avoid hot zones, adding hours to duty time.

Longer flight hours mean more fatigue, which affects both performance and emotional bandwidth.

There’s no glamour-AT ALL in a 15 hour turnaround because there is no clearance to land.

What Airlines Are Maybe doing

Critical Incident Stress Management teams.

Therapy appointments.

Pre and post dispatch briefings.

Even so, lots of crews feel out of the loop. Why you ask?Because, you get the news that you’re flying a risky zone when you’re already on it.

Hidden Costs: Forget Fuel and Insurance

Mental Health RiskWhat It Looks LikePTSD or traumaFlashbacks, fawning, sleep interruptions, avoidanceBurnoutEmotional numbness, lack of purposeAnxietyReccuring worry, overanalysing proceduresIsolationFeeling detached and lack of support on layovers or at home

These risks don’t show up on a flight log, but hey, they impact safety, morale, and retention. We talk about maintaining aircraft fatigue limits. What about crew fatigue limits?

Where Do We Go From Here?

How about a Flight Plan for Mental Health in Conflict Zones:

Transparent Security Briefings.

Weight & balance before takeoff is paramount, so is mental health balance.

Flight Debriefs After High-Stress Flights.

Better Global Oversight, meaning ICAO, IATA and other relevant bodies must update protocols for mental wellness involving high-risk routes.

Bottom line, pilots and cabin crew are indeed professionals for they train, adapt, and make sure to get the job done. But, they are people too and not robots. People who fly into the world’s most dangerous zones with nothing more than a safety manual and nerves of steel.

We owe them patience, understanding, protection and genuine support as they navigate war zones with grit and grace.

Fly safe. Check on your crew friends, and just maybe skip the missile jokes during boarding.

I feel like Don might do something if she's allowed to roam, so, if I can I may drop Dante into the ship

Dante: Oh no nono no Don you are not doing anything drastic.

Normally I would be shocked there's a guy with a clockface but my girlfriend is a walking magical nuke so I don't have a lot of grounds to argue on.

Don: Manager? W-what are thou doing here?

Dante: I just got word you are on this ship and knowing you, you would do something drastic so I'm here to keep an eye on you!

(Don't make the obvious joke...)

Dante: Anyway terribly sorry about that young man, Don here is...a bit of a handful so I'll be taking her off the ship.

It's fine...we just had to deal with a crisis so maybe another one isn't wise at this point in time.

Dante: Having sinners on there seems like a bad idea so we shall be going.

*Don and Dante leave the Voidship*

Now what was I out here for....

Oh yes, Aliza is resting now and I was just getting some snacks for her when she wakes up.

sukuna is clingy when he sleeps.

you wake in the early hours of the morning to a veritable vice grip circling your waist. it takes you a moment to gain your bearings, but when you do, you recognize sukuna has both of his arms wrapped around you, holding you snug against his chest. he's practically become your own personal futon—your entire body resting overtop of his—but, regardless of the circumstances, he doesn't seem to mind it considering how soundly he's sleeping underneath you.

you lift your head, using your hands against his chest to push yourself up slightly. glancing down at him, you hold back a laugh at the sight: he's frowning, even in his sleep.

how typical.

"sukuna," you mumble sleepily, glancing over to the clock on his bedside table as you blink away the sleep from your eyes. the clock must be unplugged, because there are no numbers lighting up the clockface, but his cellphone rests just beside it on the tabletop. you reach over—as far as you can given the unyielding hold he has on you—and tap the screen to see the time. you sigh. you repeat his name again.

he doesn't stir.

you repeat yourself two more times, though you keep your voice low. it's barely dawn, and yuuji is asleep only a room away, so you can't be any louder. you start shaking him lightly in tandem with your calling of his name.

finally his nose wrinkles in discontent, a single eye cracking open.

"whaddaya want?" he grumbles as he lets his eye close again, his arms tightening even further in their grip on you.

"gotta get up," you reply. "yuuji'll be awake soon."

the youngest itadori brother tends to be an early riser—a morning person to his core. sukuna tends to rise early only when absolutely necessary, and he's as far from chipper in the mornings as a person can possibly be.

"don't care," sukuna mutters.

"i care," you counter his indifference with indignation.

he doesn't reply, seemingly having fallen asleep again.

"sukuna, let me go," you whine as you fight his hold, but it doesn't waver for a moment.

"baby, stop," he grunts as you wiggle uselessly against him.

you freeze.

his eyes open in the wake of your sudden stillness, a look of suspicion on his face.

"baby?" you repeat quietly as he looks at you.

"what, you don't like it?" he asks, quirking a brow. "would you prefer brat?"

he calls you that anyway, so your preference matters very little.

you're a bit flustered by the sudden turn of events and sukuna leverages this momentary reprieve to his advantage: using his hold around your waist, he pulls you over so you're resting on your side in his bed, facing him. there's little light in his bedroom this early in the morning—just the faintest bit of sun on the distant horizon—but you can still make out his face even in the dimness. his eyes are open but still heavy-lidded with sleep as he watches your face closely.

"go back to sleep," he finally grunts out, tugging you into him so that your cheek is pressed to his chest.

"what about yuuji?" you ask.

"i'll take care of it," he replies dismissively. you hear the smirk in his voice when he speaks again: "you're not the only brat i'm used to dealing with. right, baby?"
