Elastic Illusions!

by Daniel Wolfert. Every once in a while I have a day where I arise from slumber and yet the whole experience of being awake feels more like an illusion than a hard-core reality- it feels like I’m still dreaming or watching a movie. This is especially true when something I’ve actively sought to manifest arrives in my reality. It takes me a little time to adjust to it being a material object and…

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

what do we want?

a canon F/F Gothic romance where both leads are actually, truly, "I enjoy this" feminine-presenting and not just "performing socially expected baseline levels of femininity for her society, but she doesn't REALLY like it and she'd TOTALLY be wearing trousers if she could but she CAN'T so that's why we CAN'T MAKE HER PROPERLY MASC EITHER!!!!"

when do we want it?

fucking yesterday tbh

rosefinch! Technoblade & Fallen angel! Technoblade.

……maybe they could be good friends

[yardsards]

a pet headcanon of mine is that after they're done with the sigil removal, emira expands her horizons and starts studying the psychological side of healing, pulling in some resources from the human realm and combining it with boiling isles methods (i imagine the field of psychology in the boiling isles, while existent, was often pushed aside as just a lesser branch of the healing coven back when belos was in charge. i do imagine there's often magic like the memory tweezers involved)

and i imagine she ends up focusing in on like, art therapy and self-expression, because she knows how important that can be, after having her individuality stifled so hard when she was young

Hunter would be the nightcore kid Gus would be the vocaloid kid Amity would be the mitski girl in red kid Willow would be the eurobeat slash hozier kid Vee would be Carly Rae Jepsen 2010s music kid Luz would be the one that introduces all of them to the respective music like idk thoughts yknow

Some information I think people should be aware of, I’m pretty sure Nathan Arch is Joey’s Sugar Daddy.

DON’T LEAVE YET I HAVE PROOF!!!

In The Illusion of Living, we learn Joey and Nathan are friends via time served in the military. Nathan comes from old money. They go out for drinks what seems pretty regularly. Paying for a friend every once in a while is fine, but every time? Expense one

In the first game, we know Bendy Land was a thing and needed lots of steel. Like, 12,000 dollars of it. And who do we know is a steel tycoon? Nathan Arch. That’s expense two

In Boris and the Dark Survival, we get an audio log of Joey calling Nathan while said man is on vacation with his wife. For money. Y’know. Like a sugar baby would

SPOILERS FOR NEW BOOK! In Fade to Black, Nathan has paid for Joey to get a whole tv show. A whole tv show! In the 50s! There’s only like 4 channels on tv!!! Nathan ALSO hosts the opening party! Yeah, sure. Friends.

Finally, in Bendy and The Dark Revival, Nathan buys the entire studio. “It’s for his son!” I hear you cry. Sure. Sure it was my friends.

All I’m saying, is that Nathan paid for Joey in sooooo many “convenient” ways. That’s a Sugar Daddy and I don’t think Nathan even knows it. Joey does, but Nathan sure doesn’t. Might also explain why Wilson hates them both

Rage Against The Cage!

Every once in a while we all need to bust out of our daily routine and enjoy the freedom that is our birthright as citizens of the Universe. The Earth-matrix is a very restrictive cage that tries to force us into a uniform way of thinking and being so as to keep us from exploring the wider existential questions and discovering that the material plane is a mere, momentary illusion in our eternal…

my participation to this year's 25hBD! the theme was " everything is a matter of perspective " and the rule was " have an optical illusion in your comic "

hope you enjoyed!

(and thanks to my friends, as well as to my Mom, who were there with me the whole time i made this, even if I ended up taking more than the original time alotted for that challenge! love you lots ♡)

I really enjoy the life series being a thing that goes “thrown into a death game and shit gets intense and we all end up needing therapy” BUT ALSO the meta version where it’s “Grian invited us to a death game and we voluntarily went and shit got intense but it’s all good we know we’re doing this for entertainment, no hard feelings anywhere (although some players hold grudges stronger than others)”

But what if it was combined? Sorta like genloss

Maybe it’s only the winners who see eldritch beings holding cameras or floating cameras. The winners get a special mic held up to them while they rant about their strategies or thoughts. Maybe everyone else sees it too, but it becomes invisible to them as the season progresses. As shit gets intense and they get their head lost in the game

And Gem, the newest addition, doesn’t have seasons worth of ignoring the things out of the corner of her eye. She catches a camera and stares right at it. At the audience. Us

The eye imagery still stands, because what the players perceive as floaty glowing eyes are actually camera lens. Reflective black “eyes”. Watching. Waiting. Recording

[Response to this reply from @ask-team-misfit]

The Meowstic seemed to stare in confusion momentarily as he attempted to process all of the information Lief was saying. When he finally did, one thing stood out from the rest.

"Um. I'm... not sure what you mean by that. I don't understand how spice tolerance is related… Is this some kind of new-age informal language?" Sirius seemed extremely confused at this.

"I really don't get out that much, Is 'spicy' a common slang term Pokemon use now? ...Maybe I need to catch up with the outside world more..." It appears being stuck in his office constantly was starting to take a toll on his knowledge of current trends.

"But to answer your questions... You're actually the, um. Third or fourth intruder? I've lost count already, it's all quite stressful I just got back from a job a few hours ago." He sighed before, thinking over Lief's other questions, they were good but a little hard to explain in one go.

"I'm sorry but I think you might be mistaken, we do not fabricate the U-gates. We can make parts to repair them, yes. But it's virtually impossible to make a deity U-gate. Every time a U-gate attempt has been made by us mortals, they're limited to in-universe travel only. The U-gates I specialize in fixing are made from god magic, they're a type of Hoopa ring. Mortal-made U-gates are under an entirely different subject." "Asking me to explain those is like trying to ask someone who raises Magikarp to tell you how to take care of a Feebas. They're both fish but they have completely different needs."

"Shutting down a gate is... a complicated subject. I could go into the process of how a gate is 'closed off' but I fear we may be here for a while if I do. I will try my best to sum it up, however." "If we're discontinuing the use of a U-gate we're required to assess why, report back to Earendel and if we're able to, contact the Keeper to discuss the matter further. A common reason U-gates are discontinued is because they're located in either feral universes, extremely dangerous ones or the U-gate is just completely broken." "At that point, it's a matter of removing the core safely, dismantling it and bringing it to Lunala for disposal. After that, we ban or remove the universe from our star maps."

"And yes, we can control the gates. That is what the Keepers are for, they help everyday travellers operate the U-gates and be sent on their merry way to whatever universe they'd like." "We keep star maps updated so Keepers can do their jobs. I hope that satisfied your curiosity!" He gave a smile before nodding. "If you have any more questions I'm happy to get into it further."
