Another year has passed, and with it the opportunity to reflect back on all that has happened. While my growth was not as dramatic as last year, I can still see lots of positive change.
I'll never have enough ways to say thank you for all the love and support you have given me this year. On to 2025!
(2023 summary here!)
#poorly drawn mdzs#art summary#Since last year's independent variable was PD-WWX; this year I used Lan Wangji.#Unfortunately his appearances were not very evenly distributed this year! Lots of LWJ's early in the year#then a dead period in the middle. He is forever my silly rabbit. I love drawing him!#If I have to put a label on this year; I'd describe it as 'experimental'. I pushed myself to do llots of new things!#I drew lots for dungeon meshi and that really boosted my growth. More body types -clothing details - expressions!#Ryoko Kui is a great artist to learn from and It made me realize that I had a lot to gain from doing more studies.#I also started working on a whole new genre of art! While it has taken a backburner spot - I'm working on a game now!#Digital art was my enemy last year but I have been getting a feel for it now.#Goals for this year is to 1) keep working on my personal projects 2) finish PD-MDZS! and 3) practice animation!#I didn't (couldn't) draw as much as I did last year...but I had to take a lesson in humility and taking care of myself.#Drawing is something I do 'for fun' but there were many times it became more stressful than it should.#I'm still learning how to find and maintain balance with everything life throws at me.#We are all works of progress and I am trying very hard to love the process and the journey! I don't really know my destination!#But I will keep taking steps forwards. I never want to be stuck and lost as I once was.#If 2024 was a rough year for you too; We're in this together. Let's keep taking steps together. No matter how small.#Love you all so very much. You've given me strength on the darkest days. Thank you thank you thank you.

Did @pinetreevillain ‘s 40k DTIYS with my TMNH Donnie because I tried to draw him as a turtle and. Yeah there’s a reason I only draw people whoops
This was really fun though!! The pose and the shoes fucking killed me but overall this is a win. I love drawing characters looking batshit insane I need to do it more often lmao
(I know this is being hosted elsewhere but unfortunately I’m allergic to instagram)
#rise of the tmnt#rottmnt#rottmnt art#rottmnt fanart#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt donnie#rottmnt timothy#rottmnt au#rottmnt human au#dtiys#pines 40k dtiys#rise Timothy#rise donnie#shoes my mortal enemy#thanks for making me draw them tho I need practice#oh yeah also the phone is red because making it green would fuck up the color distribution now that Donnie’s skin is brown

I have no clue if this is an underserved niche for realsies or just to me, but.
need more fics of James Bond breaking into Q's flat. but not just for, like, to force Q to stitch him up or to proposition him or whatever. But just to hang out lol. Like full on, "new stray cat that showed up one day and I guess I have another cat now?" He is just there to hang out maybe nap and sometimes bother Q's cats and also Q himself. and also eat his food. But at least he also *brings* food too, and, idk, sometimes he cooks? so I guess that's.... okay...? (<- Q trying to justify this to himself lmao)
Q is suddenly like. I guess I kind of have a roommate now that isn't fully a roommate cuz he doesn't really live here all the time except maybe he might as well do? lowkey I do still picture Bond disappearing at night, like, he doesn't stay the night. at least at first. very much the way a visiting cat/new friendly stray on the block would.
And then one day (night). Q has some emergency to take care of or sth and is working late, but ig it's not so bad that he can't work from home about it. And he stumbles out of his home office to go to his kitchen. and stops dead in his tracks cuz. there is James Bond, conked out on his sofa, one cat on his chest the other like, almost sitting on his head. Q, befuddled,. just goes to his linen closet and gets an extra blanket and covers him properly (and tucks him in) cuz the throw blanket is okay, but like throw blankets tend to be, lowkey on the smaller side, so like. tuck him in and make him comfy
and then Bond becomes more and more of "guess you are *my* cat now?"
and also at some point they get together, too, I guess, lol. But I think somehow they end up in bed together (literally in bed together) first, before it progresses to that point lol
#00q#the one fic where Bond breaks his leg I think and gets foisted off on Q kind of has this?#in the sense that Q finds out that Bond apparently hangs out at his flat a lot#but the difference there is. Q didn't know abt it#this is like: .......if he were cat shaped then I would have gotten cat distribution system'ed#but what do you call it when a man who arguably is a cat does it to you...#I do picture Bond lounging in casualwear or perhaps shirtless or perhaps in like tshirt and shorts#kind of like his fish outfit in nttd#is this practical for london? probably not#but. a girl (gn) can dream#maybe Q keeps his flat warm for himself or his cats#but yea lol. Bond showing up at Q's flat but w the vibe of those posts#that are pics of cats & ppl going ?? I don't have a cat?/this is not my cat?#you do now/it is now! lmao#re the last pp ^ they have a phase where Q will just lay affectionate kisses to Bond's head the way Q would his cats lol#before they ever get to the kissing on the mouth stage LOL

Hello!
I checked out your game, and I LOVE IT! And I love the music, too. In fact, I want to listen to it on my phone. So, could you probably make a soundtrack of it, please?
Hello! We're so glad you enjoyed it :D
I've now added the songs used to a playlist on the Free Music Archive here. It takes creating a free account to download music from FMA, but the playlist can be viewed and played without logging in. I have chosen this method of sharing so that the musician's pages are the easiest to find (these are their direct uploads shared to the playlist) : )
Thanks for the suggestion! I added this playlist link to the itch.io page as well to help people find these talented musicians who generously allow their work to be used in projects like this.
#Almost every song used is CC0#meaning public domain#The only exception is one song being Attribution 3 which means you can use it but you must include credit#as well as indicate if changes were made#Be sure to check the licenses on free resources you find online if you plan on using them in works to distribute#To make sure your usage legally falls within their terms#Probably wouldn't get in trouble for a fangame but it's a good practice to follow in general

Listen
It's a thing, okay?
Or it will be
I'm really really really excited
@dawnrider
#i just really love character design and concept art#and think WAY too much about things#like Inus harness?#based off WW1 parachute harness#distributes pressure across his shoulders and not just his hips#thick straps to hold up to the strain of evasive maneuvers#technically kagomes should be as well#at least around the shoulders and hips#stress points#she also needs a strap across the chest or back#shes built for speed and agility#we can pretend#riding skirt made from fur-on hide for extra warmth during leisure rides#we're goong for practicality not sexy#............maybe at some point#theyre riding harnesses#not that kind of riding tho#dragonrider AU#more like Rider HER#sjcnsmdmsks#enough nonesense#(dragon these nuts across your face)

At some point I am probably gonna do a post working on Pern dragons' standards of incest because they should have some if just due to human influence, but I get the feeling I'm gonna be poking in many directions and probably running a lot of numbers, so I don't know when that will happen.
#i will likely not be doing one on whers because they likely are either a case of working like firelizards#which if you've been here you know i have practicing offspring dispersal because it makes sense with what we know of them#especially if the whole thing from todd's books of eggs being distributed out far and wide is a thing#then the odds of a chaser or riser being related will be much lower#besides whers by all logic should have much larger populations to work with than dragons and so their standards are likely to be different#the dragons seem to be constantly working off one hear-all and a shoelace#while logically whers should be fucking everywhere#because we see repeatedly in the books including anne's that they're actually fine companions and great to have around#and the idea that despite this their standing wouldn't improve at all from when the first 4 hatched to 2 *millennia* later#that's just poor worldbuilding

what the fuck
Okay so G Gundam, a show that uses a playing card motif for its characters, gets one (1) piece of art in a set of promotional materials with a playing card motif
But fucking Wing, which does not use this motif gets TWO????? How the hell is that fair????
That slot should have been Sai or Chibodee!!!!!!
#fan wank#ignore Morg#I'm honestly not over how appalled I am at the favoritism Wing gets as a show with multiple writers that didn't talk to each other#like no matter which way you look at it G is operating coherently to a degree that wing completely misses the bar on#Project Meatier had to parody Wing by making its plot MORE coherent because it was enough of a mess that exaggeration is meaningless!#all the video games where the two full NsWINGc rosters are playable because their machines got a redesign#should be forced to pick one or the other and give up that space so that G's main group all get to be represented as well#surely if both the *ew* and the EW designs for Wing need to be playable they could just let you re-skin one version with the other#I'm not going to apologize for the wank;#I used to be that kid who would get C's for work that was better than other students A's because ''we know you can do better''#I practically have a damn *license* to get pissy when I see a mismatch between quality of a work and consciously distributed ''reward''

Hi I just wanted to say thank you so much for your account, as a fan of DMC:Devil may cry stuff your account has been grest for finding pictures of the reboot versions, your amazing. Thank you
Hey! I may not be active here anymore, but I'm always glad when someone enjoys this ridiculous blog, you're very welcome!
My DmC obsession never really went away tbh, I'm still making 3D stuff to this day to amuse myself 😅
Bonus WIPs: Some quick viewport snapshots of my latest DmC Vergil model as I suffer through learning how to make strand-based hair, plus my ongoing project to re-topo, re-texture, and rig his coat by hand...



#asks answered#I am very Normal about DmC Vergil and can be trusted#unfortunately I cannot distribute this model because it uses assets which are not licensed for distribution#and I'm not going to undercut other artists who are just tryna make a living selling texture scans and such you know?#it's just for my personal modeling practice and amusement

Bruh, I am prolly slow on the uptake, but I'm realizing that, considering their magic is heavily influenced by imagination, it's no WONDER Kalim's magic, especially his defensive magic, is so weak.
Because he's always had everything handed to him or done for him by others, especially Jamil, of course his imagination would never compare. Bc he's never HAD to long for anything, never had to think of anything for himself besides what he was told/given, outside certain circumstances!
Is it a wonder he was able to manifest his magic at an age when Jamil was attending another school away from him? When Kalim himself WANTED to and tried so HARD at something, likely for the first time in his life, to manifest his magic to be JUST LIKE Jamil?
Tbh, the best thing that ever happened to Kalim was not really Jamil. Bc incidentally, the way they were raised, it only served to limit Kalim both in life experiences and magic, having Jamil do everything for Kalim. He never needed to work on honing his magic when Jamil could take care of potions, when Jamil could defend him and take the brunt of the grunt work.
Thus, the best possible thing to have happened to Kalim really having to make his own friends outside of him at Night Raven. Like when he used Oasis Maker to entertain Crowley with excellent control and skill ( likely something he learned to do for shows with the Pop Music Club, I bet! ). Or how when he had to make a party without Jamil's help, Ruggie let him learn how to cook with only using magic and the food STILL turned out to be a hit despite it being Kalim's first shot at it! Or how he was able to surprise Jamil by making the river to bring Octavinelle, himself and Yuu'n Grim back to Scarabia after the boy'd dismissed his Signature Spell as useless.
#✮┆ ( .ooc. );#//I want to know more about his Signature Spell; tbh#//Bc those are said to be influenced by a person's wishes in the moment; like Deuce wanting to protect Epel; & Epel to Yuu/Rook#//WHY did Kalim get an water summoning based spell; when he and Jamil both say it'd be obsolete in that day and age?#//Could it be bc Kalim wanted a versatile magic; to be able to help and entertain at once?#//Hence; bc water always changes to shift in its vessel; his magic responded & made it so he would Never have to limit the water he summons#//BC THAT'S FUCKEN CRAZY#//If ppl say Kalim has low/small magic reserves; WHY CAN HE HAVE AN INFINITE WATER HACK WITH HARDLY ANY DRAWBACKS#//Did he desperately want smth useful and THAT was the result??#//Esp smith tied to how his family canonically facilitated water acquisition and distribution back in the early days???#//Did he want to be like the great 'Ruler of the Oasis' and want a spell that could ref that AND bring joy to others???#//Bc it would be SO in tune with who he is to have a spell that can bring joy to others; esp considering how beautifully he enacted the#water birds he made for entertaining Crowley. Bc AS FAR AS WE KNOW; he didn’t PRACTICE that before!#//Anyways; this isn't meant to inform or anything#//It's me writing the thinking's down for myself to find for later reference jdfhbfgk#//Its so sad to me that of all things; the best thing for Kalim would be to separate from Jamil entirely. bc that is when he THRIVES#//See: Playful Land. KALIM ultimately saved everyone; no magic required. just some good ol Talk no Jutsu ndbxb#//Likewise Jamil is funniest and most expression Without Kalim too#//Bit they both CHOOSE to stick together even still#//Kalim; who will Always choose Jamil no matter what; who adores him like he’s even better than himself like breathing#//Who didn’t hesitate to jump rightt in after him when the darkness would have taken him away#//Jamil; who even after being told he doesn’t HAVE to bc others can step up; adamantly CHOOSING to stick with & save Kalim in Book 5#//When Rook was RIGHT THERE to protect him or carpet could have gone for him themself#//Still dreamed of having Kalim close; even TRUSTED that dream Kalim; even as real Kalim kept fumbling on purpose#//ESP since Floyd’s dream showed that if it suits the person’s narrative; they could be written out. WHY was Kalim still in Jams life there#//Jamil; who butts into Kalim’s things when even Kalim’s got a handle on things for once (one of the Halloween events)#//Bc Kalim totally NAILED how to scare ppl; WHY did Jamil feel the need to spell him and take over??#//If need be; he could have simply backed him up if he failed; WHY expend that extra effort??#//Idk; it’s interesting to me jcnc#//Veered off topic but ye lol—the biggest reason Kalim’s as ‘incompetent’ as he is IS THE VERY PERSON COMPLAINING ABT IT. the IRONY

#I mostly just included the major ones but there are definitely a bunch I can think of to fit that 'other' option#playchoices#hmm idk which would be my final answer but I think I might vibe with Fydoria tbh... just seems so chill and like I could thrive there#also it's probably not too hard to run Aurelia if you're not a terrible ruler who doesn't give a shit about their people right?#practically endless resources so if you really care about your subjects it's just a matter of distributing them so no one goes without#keeping out the bandits seems like the actual challenge because keeping the people happy seems pretty doable I think#unconquered queries

I was looking at old photos of some of my nuggets yesterday from before I did my first day 1 reset (aka before I got a mod that lets you keep your agents during day 1 resets) and realized that I accidentally remade Eva wrong. Except! Beautiful world! It's actually a good thing because her current back hair was her dead sister's back hair so actually it was intentional from the start and I'm a genius forever <3333
#rat rambles#oc posting#I mean I already gave her a nod to her sister by giving her scarecrow gift but Ill use the excuse again idc#dont ask how many of my guys ego gifts are cheated in dw abt it#look for most of them it was just to give my naked guys some randomly generated gifts for inspiration purposes#most of the gifts on my more established guys were either gotten completely legitimately or were given back to them after losing them#this is pretty much the only exception I think#and look I did a lot of ego gift grinding I just needed ideas for my nothing burger guys#also juliet legitimately did not get her first ego gift despite being my number 1 for so god damn long I had to fight to get her mask#technically her first gift was happy teddy bear but she got it in the later portion of my mask grind and the day had to be reset#I Did get it back once she got her mask after some more arguous grinding tho#all of that and her glasses just sorta jumpscared me after she worked on old lady like. twice.#which makes sense since hashtag teth moments but also girl you were my og why didnt you get Any teth gifts until now#most of my guys are riddled with them istg like 90% of my facility has the stupid walkie#and she's The repression guy! get it together girl!#it is funny looking back on my first few hours since at the time I was very much having my main 3 guys focus on different stats#I was like yeah Ill have a fortitude guy and insight guy and a justice guy sure hope this doesn't lead to situations where I only have one#guy capable of working on certain abnormalities due to me not investing in their stats equally#thankfully I eventually got the memo and practiced good healthy stat distribution#juliet and loki never rly left their specialty lane fully tho even after I had to start from scratch with both#juliet is my justice guy and loki is my fortitude guy even with all their stats maxed#I almost wish I had attempted to min max a nugget to get like 200+ in a stat because I know its possible Ive just never tried#I assume justice would be the easiest to go for in an end game scenario since theres quite a few gifts that give a pretty stupid amount#but I also imagine prudence would be a fairly easy trait to minmax due to the sheer abundance of gifts for it if I recall#but I could never minmax juliet because then Id have to get her ego gifts I do not want her to have#she's already peaked in her design she doesn't need anything more <3#shout out to how I tried so so hard to get yui silent orchestra gift for so so long and never got it </3#and then my randomly generated ego gift scheme made fun of me for it by giving I believe Three nuggets the gift#I only gave the suit to one of them (christopher) tho since yui needs her swag and also I didn't want to feel like I was cheating too hard#anyways I like to imagine eva wearing a gift that wasn't hers helped contribute to her eventual ego corrosion <3

Food service worker diagnosis
#talk#Mold is safe to remove in some instances but not most any building with unhygienic practices in one corner has it in the kitchen too#You get given food by strangers any time you go to a restaurant it is not the concept of a person you don't know that unnerves you it is a#lack of regulation and confirmed compliance to safety standards#Which is why everywhere is legally required to have their safety score framed in a place visible to customers#Which btw speaking as a food service worker anything under an 85 veers into serious risk territory because restaurants are stricter on#Inspection days. So really you want to be subtracting 5-10 points from any given rating and judging based on that.#Like I'm not saying high levels of disgust boil down to a lack of exposure to the reality of food service and distribution but I do think#most people would be more confident and thus less disgusted by certain things if they just understood them better#Hence my previous post.

Never forget that the CDC is doing absolutely nothing about COVID even when multiple disability organizations have repeatedly asked them to implement uh, basic health advice.
400 million disabled, 7 million dead
in four years.
The CDC is not a health organization.
The CDC has never been about controlling disease or protecting public health. The CDC’s primary goal is to protect the interests of the federal government.
Fuck the CDC.
#fuck the cdc#covid distribution committee#the cdc practices eugenics#the cdc loves eugenics#the cdc kills disabled people
