Odd question but fav piece of media?
Games, movies, tv shows, whatever
Not odd at all!
Hmm… I often find it hard to pinpoint my all time favourite of anything cuz I like a lot of stuff and I tend to forget anything I’m not playing/watching right this moment, but I will have a good think and try my best!
Games:
- Ōkami
I have replayed this all the way through at least 5 or 7 times I’m sure, both on Wii and the HD port on switch. (And it is a pretty long game!) I love the story, I love the artstyle and characters, I love running around as a wolf(!!!), the main mechanic itself of painting symbols is just really cool. Its just good and fun and has lots of silly/funny and a few make-me-cry moments in there too.
- Petz 4 & 5 (Catz/Dogz 4/5) (PC)
See also, I found a high quality scan of the instruction manual here (so cute…). (And that blog appears to have resources to download the games if you don’t have the original disc!)
Ok this is kinda a weird one, and I haven’t played it in a while, but when I was growing up I was so invested in this little game and especially once I found the community online for it.
You could breed the petz for basically infinite combinations of new colours and patterns, physical features, and people would do huge projects to make petz that looked cool and then put them for “adoption” on their personal website and email the file to you if you “adopted” one (I still have one of these from like, ten years ago I think, somewhere).
There was also “hexing” where you could go in to the file using a hex editor and mess with the code to modify the original breedfiles of the default breedz that came with the game, and people were making anything you could think of. Dragons, gryphons, wolves, leopards, or even just very prettily made catz/dogz to resemble real life equivalents (or fantasy sparkledogs/cats!!!💖).
Eventually someone even made a program where you visually see a representation of the pet as you were editing it rather than just like, edit this number, save, reopen the game to see what you did haha. (I definitely played with both methods of “hexing” but didn’t really end up making anything substantially complicated myself, usually just changed eye/fur colours to get like cool fantasy colours 😂) So that was really cool!!! And of course people also did it for clothes, toys (toyz?), food… basically this was like for me, baby’s first introduction to mods/modding I guess? Haha!
Anyway it just has a very special place in my heart even though I don’t play it much anymore, and I haven’t personally seen many games come close to what it had. Flightrising is somewhat close in terms of variety with breeding the dragons, but they are all still just illustrations you can’t “play with” since it is a petsite, not a game (I enjoyed that tho…I gotta remember to check back there sometime lol).
—
Ok, this has already gotten quite long so I might go think about movies/TV shows/other media separately and then maybe come back and add more later?… (maybe in a reblog or something?) I think I emptied my brain when I started thinking about petz 5 there dfjgk

💋🐹🫐 for the ask gameb
WHGAT IS THAT THING??????? WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE GTHAT????? squishmallowz be tweakin rn
anywayz there as no specification for which f/o so i do both >:3c
current me edit: took me a while to do and i talked a ton so hope that makez up for my long time taking teehee
💋 [KISS]- What love language does your F/O have? What about you? And how do y’all express it to each other?
Marly's main Love Language is physical touch!! Holding handz!! Cuddling!! Hugz!!! Kiss yeah mhm allat stuff yk?? OKOK now the silliez 👇
FOR MORDECAI: Quality time and acts of service are his main two! Just spending time w/ one another is enough for the both of them. Mordecai isn't really into all of that "fancy" date stuff, he thinks it's all ludicrous LMAO,,,, so a simple day out on the porch or whatever is enough,,, and acts of service oh my bog!!! Does the end-pin of Marly's cello look a little bent? He'll see if he can get it fixed, and will even see if there's a luthier (instrument fixing person) who can do it. The seams in her coat look a little wonky? Catch him at the right time and you'll see him patching that up. Mordecai isn't the biggest fan of physical touch, but thingz such as holding Marly's hand in a crowded area to keep her nearby are sooooo oughhhhgg
FOR VIKTOR: Words of affirmation and physical touch!!! Yeah if you can't tell I can't pick just one I am HUH????? Anywayz!!!! Words of affirmation, he likez giving them and receiving them! He def givez hella good praise, just hearing him happy is sooooooooooooooo ngbgbhggbygbbg and receiving!! Watch Marly list everything she lovez about him and hoollaayyy moollaayy blud is melting ong!!! And assuring him that he isn't a burden due to his physical shortcoming,,, and how amazing he is ough wordz are sooooo wordy yeah mhm!!! AND PHYSICAL TOUCH? BRO YOU HAVE NO IDEA??? At first like pre-dating stage, Viktor would sometimes tap Marly's foot with his cane. Whether it be in a playful manner, if he feels something is off about a certain situation, or just to get her attention when he wants it. Established relationship? DONT GET ME STARTED!!!! the two of them are sooo touch starved it is crayzee,,, while Viktor may be a bit shy with physical affection, so marly may have to be the one to start off, but oh my god they are sooooo fr w/ physical touch!! Whether it be small things like holding onto one another's hand/arm while walking, Marly kissing Viktor's beauty marks, or full on cuddling on the couch, they love it all!!!!!!!!
🐹 [HAMSTER]- Do you and your F/O have a pet? If not, what pet would you like to have with them, or why wouldn’t you want a pet at all?
FOR MORDECAI: No pets!! Was originally thinking of giving them something but then I was like "they are catz" so nevermind!! Feral animals exist in the Lackadaisy world AND there are photoz of Mordy with one of those yappy dogz (I'll get a photo lmbo). But honestly I think Mordecai would think that a pet is too unsanitary for his taste. Maybe one day they'll get like,,, a fish or smth!!!!
FOR VIKTOR: BRO,,, BRK,,,, if I look at the overall Martor lore, they've had two catz!! The first when they were both Academy Students, pre-arcane plot and also during season 1 kinda. A Siamese cat named Sage!!! Not gonna say what happenz to her tho 😈,,,, and a second one named August!! A silly guy,,, not gonna say much Abt him either,, yet mwhwhwhwh!!!!!!!! They also have this bird creature thing called 'Blird' hez hella funny I love BLIRD!!!!!! Blird is the product of what happens when you try to mix HexTech and geneticz,,, Marly and Viktor accidentally created this goofy ahh creature, they have no clue how it workz ngl but a blird is a blird we love BLIRD!!!!!!!!!!
🫐 [BLUEBERRIES]- What aesthetic do you associate with your F/O (or your general dynamic with them)? {{this quesytion was a lil silly 2 me n i didnt fully understand it BUT!!!}}
FOR MORDECAI: Ship dynamicz include the follwing teehee,,,, Childhood Friendz to Loverz, Sun x Moon, tall & short (me/marly are 5'1 im sorry,, mordy is like 5'9ish i think) erm i cant think of anythig else!! I dont rlly get the aesthetic part of this question but monochomaticz and stuff like this brah
FOR VIKTOR: woohoo!! ship dynamicz include Artist x Scientist (where is lucy we are twinning), tall x short (sigh he is 5'7), friends to lovers, one sided pinging for a teensy bit from viktor to mutual pining in predating stage, and im mixing a ttiiinnnyyy bit of friendly academic rivalz so erm!!! as for aesthetic, veyr dark acedamia kinda yea and blue/purple science styuff
{{both moodbaordz from pinterest!!}}

Basic Gen 1 pet hexing Tutorial - Dogz
Hello! I thought it might be fun to do a basic hexing tutorial for tumblr. I'm sure there are others out there but, there's always the need for a refresher corse and a new post won't hurt.
This tutuorial is far from the most advanced and I do my best to assume no hexing experiance. There are many more tutorials on Whisker Wick and RKC. At the time of this tutorial they are the central hubs for the online petz community and are always filled with people who can help answer questions too.
First is the tools needed to hex for the Petz games(note I will be hexing in Petz 4 but the ideas are transferable to at least Petz 5 and I believe Petz 3).
NOTE all the tools I list are FREE to get from the sites I link to.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You can in theory use any hex editor, but if you're like me and they intimidate you a bit I highly recomend getting LNZ pro from Sherlock Software. It is the program most of the community uses too so if there are problems it is easy to find help. If you happen to be in the babyz community as well this program works for them as well. You will also need the petz editing manual. Through the tutorial I will refer to this as LNZ.
Also from Sherlock Software I highly recomend Petz Workshop, I will be useing it in the tutorial and it's great if you're more of a visual person. It has some limits but overall works nicely. Through the tutorial I will refer to this program as PW.
While on Sherlock Software, if you don't have it already I suggest getting Petz A for enhanced game play, and petz pic factory is a life savor to help organizations. Tinker is if you want to get into toy/clothing hexing.
The other program I cannot recomend enough is Brynn's anchor utility. It can be found on Flea Bagz along with the auto spotter.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NOTE! This method of hexing, hexing on the breedfile itself, causes hexed liniage if you breed them. This can be useful and even fun, but is something to keep in mind.
It changes the base coding of the dog/cat and alters there genetics a bit so they can have offspring with colors that would not normally occure.
For exampe great dane masks should only come in brown and black -
(Special appearacne by Coke and Townie, two of our Danes)
However, with hexed linage they can come in other colors such as orange, red, blue, tan, cream, white,
(Denzel, Pitch, Twice,
Tallis, Siddie, Sim)
This is only for ball areas not paintballz. Paintballz do not mutate colors unless there's extra hexing in so those are not affected.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
ALSO NOTE! BACK UP YOUR FILES! ANY FILE YOU OPEN WITH THE INTENT OF HEXING! BACK IT UP! I keep a zip file of all my OBs stashed away in a dark corner as well as one with the fixed files I use. Things can go wrong. You don't want to loose a file and not be able to get it back.
Also do frequent saves while working. These are older programs. Things crash with no reason.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
We've got the programs now to select what to hex.
A golden retreiver.
There are minor differences between different breed files but for the most part they are the same. The bigg thing to think about is the pug nose - and it's none existance, the chihuahua(and I belive papillon too) have different nose numbers than the other dog breeds because they have a single ball instead of the 2.
DOG NOSES(not cat noses, catz can be done like any other ball)
The first thing I'm going to do is change the golden's nose color. There are two ways to do this:
The first is done completely in PW(you can use LNZ too but as I said, I prefer visuals when I can so I only do it in PW on the rare times I use this method). I rarely use this method, I've spent years hexing for the petz kennel club and this particular method violtates the rules about changing a file.
In PW, once the file you need is open(in this case the Golden Retriver.dog) you'll see some buttons across the top with circles on them. the second from the end has a circle with half the line thicker than the other.
Click it.
Down in the bottom above the text box that tells you you've opened the file and all that are two other boxes. The top one says "outline style:" and is a drop down,
Yep click it.
You'll get a selection of No outlines, both sides(this is the one it auto selects), left side only, right side only, and draw as a nose(this is what the dog nose is already!). When I do this method I do "no outline" but feel free to play with the others and the thickness of the lines. I know some people have done some awesome things with them.
Once your line is selcted thengo up to the modle of the dog and click on their nose!
And the nose is gone! Now back to your top menu!
The second button, the one that has a gradiant from red to blue/purple?
Click it.
Your bottum menue has changed again, click on the "color to paint" square
A color picker popup will appear! please note that the last few rows(especially the last two) are very unreliable for being the color that shows up in the game(And that from one persons computer to anothers they're known to just not match.).
Once you've picked your color click on the two nostril ballz that we clicked for the outlines thing as well as the third little black ball beneath them. Note that some colors do not let textures work despite what PW may show.
And that's it, that's method 1 for dogz nose color changing.
You can add the nose shine with paintballz(we will cover paintballz in general later).
Method 2 is in LNZ pro. This is the method I prefer useing.
Once you have the file open down the side of the inner window is a list of smaller menus. You want the one that sayz "LNZ"
Depending on your breed, the letterz on the inner menu from LNZ may be different. You want to open which ever one does not say "PUP"
There are sections labled with brackets you will want to scroll or use the "tools" menu and the "find feature" until you get to [Paint Ballz]
Depending on your file there may or may not be more than the paw pads. Note the lines following the semi collons. These lines are ignored by the program! It's a great way to make notes.
Also note that the three lines after ";jowl color" all have an extra number at the end, that "0" anchors the paint ballz. A general rule(rules are made to be broken so you do you!) paw pads are the only ballz that are not anchored.
Another note, the texture(last number in a row before the anchoring "0") in the paw pads is "-1" this means that there is no texture there, this will apply to any ball or paint ball you want to have no texture!
Now adding paintballz to the nostril ballz to cover up the "draw as a nose" line. You'll other than the first two paint ballz(which are the nose shine, which you can 100% use on the previous method) they're massive(200% the diameter of the ball) this is simply to cover as much area as possible. They're also anchored but have a -1 texture.
The 5th number in each row is the color, you can change it to whatever number you want(remember the pop up window from PW? SAME numbers!)
If you would like the code to save for quick coppy paste -
;nose 41, 40, 0, 0, -1, 15, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 0 17, 40, 0, 0, -1, 15, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 0 41, 200, -0.05094715, 0.1532611, -0.9868715,183, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 41, 200, -0.994278, 0.09509034, 0.0486745,183, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 41, 200, -0.02459138, 0.1358954, 0.990418,183, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 41, 200, 0.9602911, 0.09167686, 0.2635078,183, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 41, 200, 0.01550517, -0.988771, 0.1486324,183, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 41, 200, 0.01009679, 0.993927, 0.109577,183, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 17, 200, -0.01085464, 0.1983058, -0.9800801,59, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 17, 200, 0.98462, 0.1341251, 0.1119551,59, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 17, 200, -0.08383274, 0.1538555, 0.9845306,59, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 17, 200, -0.9783014, 0.1952212, -0.06939042,59, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 17, 200, -0.01415273, -0.9899525, 0.1406904,59, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0 17, 200, -0.001355877, 0.9942293, 0.1072673,59, -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 0
I use the same one every time, just changing the color number.
At this point I like to erase the other painballz if I'm not going to use them. However, I know the jowl color is the paint ballz are the cute mustashes that Labs and goldens sometimes get that I absolutly love and I want to keept them. However, i don't like any paint ballz bellow my paw pads so I moved them above the nose and renamed it.
Something to note - your notes in breed files will not transfer to the pet file. Also, PW will unanchor paint ballz so always save that for last.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
COLORING! WEEE! I do this in PW.
OH NO THE NOSE! It's totally fine, we'll take care of it in a bit.
At this point it is best if you have an idea for what you want to hex, but if not you can wing it, that's always a fun time.
Hit your gradiant ball color circle in your top menu bar on PW
Select your color in the bottom just like the nose in method one.
And start coloring ballz!
Each ball can be selected indivicually(also look at the mustash!).
OR On the left side of PW,
There are tab menus, select the one that says "Balls".
Select multiple with ctrl+right mouse or shift+right mouse(remember that to pay attention to things like R Eye and L iris. If you don't want to cololor the whites of the eye(R or L eye) or the pupil (R or L iris) you don't want to select these.
At the bottom of the selecting box is a button that says "apply to all ballz"(when it's not squished like my window does). hit that and...
it's like a bucket fill! Now you can do multi colors of course, just select a different color like you selected the first and start coloring ballz.
And stick around for part 2 since I hit the limit of photos I can post in one post.
HERE IS THE LINK FOR PART 2
