#fanwork asks

[drenched-in-sunlight]

saying this as respectfully as possible but. Do not put fandom content creators on a pedestal. We are also just fans contributing to a community just as you are. We have boundary on our own work and that’s it. What I say is not and should not be considered sth the whole fandom should listen to. I’m just a normal ass person ranting about things on my blog. If it does not have a fandom tag for others to engage in, do not make it out to be me trying to start fights or addressing the whole community. Because it’s not.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, my art, my lore talk, is biased. I’ve never tried to hide that I view Marika a certain way and will always develop my theory following that base assumption.

Aside from translation stuffs and pointing out in-game items, everything else I say you can look at it, agree or disagree, and move on to form your own opinions. Just because I draw stuffs doesn’t mean you get to saddle me with responsibilities about managing fandom expectations. What the hell? I’m a fan artist, I’m the last person who you should look at for “leaderism” (?) WHAT?

I can and will be a hater in my own space, like I know sometimes other artists will just post their stuffs and not engage too heavily with fandom, and for a while I did try to do that here (because I’m already a dramatic ass on twitter), that’s just not me though.

You will get art and you will get my opinions as well.

How do you feel about people making au's of different family party members looping

not my thing. to me, every other character could get out in less than five loops, because they're not siffrin's flavor of Incredibly Repressed, and Odile in particular would just go "aw gems im gonna need to talk about my feelings don't i" by loop 3. but have fun you crazy kids, you REALLY dont need to know how i feel about a fun fanwork thing to make it. you know that right. please fly away. be free

Hello, me again. Your art is addictive istg (/positive). Anyways, I come baring a bit of angst, if you do not mind. It's kind of a headcanon but is canon related. So, Robert's side of the family grieving Hope? Because you can't tell me only John misses her. Maybe throw in some comfort if you want to make it a bit nicer, up to you! No pressure to do the whole family if you don't want to ofc. Idk thought I'd throw this out there; have a nice day! :]

Poor boys… :(

[tangledinink]

[esamastation]

I was browsing your blog and it made me smile to see that you posted about wishing you could write original fiction and then a month later being in the midst of writing original fiction. Truly hashtag manifesting.

Now let us manifest a place to post this original stuff, because writing in a vacuum without much of a feedback after xx years of fanfiction and gratification of near instant publishing is hard 🤞😭🙏

You think monsters develop their leitmotifs as they get older. When they're young it's just kind of a mashup of their parents until it finally becomes their own once they're adults

unironically was gonna make that a whole arc if i ever made the daemo game. they're not an adult by the end of it obviously, but since their storyline deals HEAVILY with them growing past this blind idealization of their parents' pasts (as well as frisk's and that of the other adults around them), and into their own person, with their own friends and their own identity/story, their leitmotifs and musical themes closely reflect and follow that journey.

as for other characters... i don't think character themes are diegetically acknowledged by the story in the way other game elements are, at least outside of comedic 4th wall breaks such as Papyrus'.

however... if they were. considering that we do have an example of a child's theme, along with that of both of his parents, I'm afraid that's not the case. asriel's theme is kind of its own thing, after all. but like i said, i think leitmotifs serve the story, rather than act as an instory mechanic. those places where his theme features in other songs, it's asriel that ties them together by haunting undertale's narrative, not the reverse.

Hello! Welcome to the official Double Dead Studio Tumblr, the solodev behind Reanimated Heart and Another Rose in His Garden.

(This Pinned is Under Construction. Still figuring out the tags...)

Reanimated Heart is a character-driven horror romance visual novel about finding love in a mysterious small town. There are three love interests with their own unique personalities and storylines. Play the demo on Itch now!

Content Warning: All my games are 18+! They contains dark subject matter such as violence and sexual content. Player discretion is advised.

This blog is ran by Jack, the creator.

Itch | Link Tree | Patreon | Twitter

Guidelines

My policy for fanwork is that anything goes in fiction, but respect my authority and copyright outside it. This means normal fan activity like taking screencaps, posting playthroughs, and making fanart/fanfiction is completely allowed, but selling this game or its assets isn't allowed (selling fanwork of it is fine, though). You are also not allowed to feed any of my assets to AI bots, period, even if it's free.

Do not use my stuff for illegal or hateful content.

Also, I expect everyone to respect the Content Warnings on the page. I'm old and do not tolerate fandom wank.

F.A.Q.

Who are the main Love Interests?

Read their character profiles here!!

Who's the team?

Jack (creator, writer, artist), mostly. I closely work with Exodus (main programmer) and Claira (music composer). My husband edits the drafts, and my friend Bonny makes art assets. I've also gotten help from outsiders like Sleepy (prologue music + vfx) and my friend Gumjamin (main menu heart animation).

For Reanimated Heart's VOs, Alex Ross voices Crux, Devin McLaughlin voices Vincenzo, Christian Cruz voices Black, Maganda Marie voices Grete, and Zoe D. Lee voices Missy.

Basically, it's mostly just me & outsourcing stuff to my friends and professionals.

How can I support Double Dead Studio productions?

You can pay for the game, or join our monthly Patreon! If you don't have any money, just giving it a nice rating and recommending it to a friend is already good enough. :)

Where do the funds go to?

100% gets poured back into the game. More voice acting, more music, more trailers, more art, etc. I also like to give my programmer a monthly tip for helping me.

This game is really my insane passion project, and I want to make it better with community support.

I live in the Philippines and the purchasing power of php is not high, especially since many of the people I outsource to prefer USD. (One time I spent P10k of my own money in one month just to get things.) I'll probably still do that, even if no money comes in, until I'm in danger of getting kicked out the street… but maybe even then? (jk)

What platforms will Reanimated Heart be released in?

Itch and then Steam when it's fully finished. Still looking into other options, as I hear both are getting bad.

Will the game be free?

Chapter 1 will be free. The rest will be updated on Patreon exclusively until full release.

Are you doing a mobile version?

Yeah. Just Android for now, but it's in the works.

Where can I listen to the OST?

It is currently up on YouTube, Spotify, and Bandcamp!

Why didn't you answer my ask?

A number of things! Two big ones that keep coming up are Spoilers (as in, you asked something that will be put in an update) or it's already been asked. If you're really dying to know, check the character tags or the meta commentary. You might find what you're looking for there. :)

Howdy! I thought that I'd share that I colored a frame from one of your comics! I didn't use a color reference but I thought I'd show it off! I forgot to ask for permission but I don't intend on sharing it elsewhere and hope you like it! :D

O h MY GOSH!!!! 🤩 That’s so cool! You’re very welcome to share it, as long as credit is given! I love it, thank you!!! 💚💚💚💚

Is there a way to find the longest running fics on AO3? ie. the fics with the longest time elapsed between first posted and last updated, not abandoned works. I say this because I was checking out your Fandom Stats AO3 series and I noticed that it'd been updating for over a decade! That's a lot of commitment.

Oh, great question! And the answer is... yes, sort of? But it might not actually include the results you're most interested in (more on that in a minute).

I searched for works that have been updated in the past month, and then sorted them by when they were first posted -- in ascending order. This gives us results that start with works that have the biggest possible gap between the dates of first posting and last updating. The first three works on the page right now have the following dates:

Published:2009-07-08; Updated:2024-01-15

Published:2009-07-20; Completed:2024-01-06

Published:2009-11-19; Completed:2024-01-14

Published in 2009, updated in 2024 -- that's a giant span! But here are some caveats, which mean that these are not necessarily works that have been updating frequently across that whole stretch of time:

Authors can change the publication date, so that date doesn't necessarily reflect when the work was first uploaded. (I backdated many of the works in my Fandom Stats series on AO3 to when they were first posted to Tumblr.) However, some authors have backdated their publication date all the way to 1950, and those works don't showing up at the start of the results when sorting AO3 in ascending order of date posted -- which makes me suspect that these results are truly be sorted by the date first uploaded, rather than the edited publication date. Meaning I suspect the above works may truly have been first posted to AO3 in 2009 and then updated in 2024! Wow.

...However, based on the author notes, many of the works posted in 2009 and updated in 2024 were completed years ago. The author recently added some new notes or reorganized/ reformatted, but was not updating the story in the intervening years.

These results don't include any series. I don't know of any way to do a similar search for series.

We can also do things like repeat the earlier search but require lots of chapters -- e.g., we can only include works with more than 50 chapters. More chapters might give us a higher probability of works that have actually been updating a bunch over a long period of time. But there's no foolproof way to find the kinds of works you're after. Still, it's pretty fun to peruse some of the things that were first posted ages ago and recently updated! Enjoy. :)

things are happening in drafts.

Idk if you’re doing it for this purpose at all but “Mario’s” eyes in the body swap art are so intense with the shading, they look so sunken and hollow. I just imagine Bowser is doing absolutely nothing to maintain the health of Mario’s body. They���re gonna swap back and Mario is gonna feel so exhausted and hungry bc Bowser didn’t bother with any of that, he had more important things to do (like be a total creep)

Oh I'm so happy that someone has pointed this out! :D Okay, so here's a direct comparison:

One thing I did right away to give Bowser a more evil gaze was make the pupils a lot smaller. That's where a good portion of the intensity comes from. The size of the pupils and irises always plays a huge part in a character's overall friendliness, and it applies for both extremes.

As for the shadows and wrinkles, they make the white areas of the eyes stand out more, which tends to further accentuate that intensity. Even when he's relaxed, my Bowser indeed has those visible creases, but that's mostly because he squints a lot. He's got that typical "evil glare", if you will! 😆 Though I gotta say I love your interpretation of Bowser also neglecting Mario's body to the point where it shows! 👀 I'm definitely keeping that! 👏

What are your ryomina headcanons? I've loved these two since I played P3 FES, and I'm so excited to get back into the fandom^^

hi!! thank you so much for the ask, welcome back to the p3 fandom, it's always a delight to see new and old ryomina fans alike! 🥺💛💙

as for headcanons, here's a "few" i that i tend to come back to a lot! my interpretations of them are influenced from both the source material and other's fanworks, so i've linked to them as i saw fit! hcs in no particular order under the cut because oops this got long (900 word bullet point list, mentions of reload content up to 1/1)

minato's hair is dyed blue (hair originally brown, you can see it in his roots!) and he has a beauty mark on under his left eye. i like mirror imagery and there's definitely a few arts i've rb'd that portray them this way :) (e.g. this one by feliichu and this one by marasschino)

as far as i'm concerned the bathhouse scene from the manga where ryoji's hair down = similar shape to minato? that is canon to me. this art from xierru is a fun depiction of hair down ryoji :D

ryoji is homeless. everyone say thank you foxmulder_whereartthou for this awesome fic it's why i have the headcanon! but like seriously. we have no idea where ryoji lives and i could believe this.

minato dying at the end of the game is sad to an outsider's POV BUT!!! ryomina gets to be together in death for the rest of their lives (this illustration from mafuwara is a gorgeous representation of them as nyx avatar + the seal)!

speaking of the seal, they are like telepathically communicating to me in the great seal together. (mymp3 had a comic wip with this. give it a looksie :D)

ryoji likes cuddling with minato because he's warm :) (something something orpheus has fire affinity, minato is warm by extension and ryoji is cold because he's death)

ryoji's camera roll is filled with pictures of minato! ryoji... loves life, to me. and i feel that photography and journaling are perfect ways of expressing gratitude and capturing the moments in life that are most important to you :3

my other favorite activity for these two is stargazing- i feel like it's something they could appreciate either in life or death (looking at the stars from the great seal...)! they do a bit of this in the fic eurydice's vow by crescentmoontea (P5R spoilers, takes place in third sem it's a very fun fic concept).

between ryoji and minato i feel like ryoji was the one who fell in love first- and it doesn't really click in place for minato that he loves ryoji until december hits (appriser reveal + ryoji transforming into thanatos). its about the realization that ryoji was with him for his whole life and that he gets him like no one else does.

ryoji is like a sad and wet puppy who is so scared minato won't like him back. he is so scared of being rejected by minato to me like. this boy straight up deflates after he does his "i know i said i wanted us to be friends, but... i actually want to be something more." / "what about you?" on 12/1 ???

AND SPEAKING of wet puppy ryoji. ryoji is like. every animal in the world to me. he's a bird. he's a cat. etc. and also ryoji knows every language in the world ever and uses it to express his love for minato. see this fic from superheroics to see what i mean.

both of them are lactose intolerant. "this isn't lactose, it's milk!" i definitely think ryoji would make himself sick eating ice cream and milk he doesn't know what lactose is. (i made a silly poll about this once and the tags were very entertaining.)

i see minato as transmasc or nonbinary depending on the day (schrodinger's headcanons babey they're simultaneously true and not true at the same time!!). either way he's not cis to me and ryoji is like. His Gender. anyway go read this fic by nail_gun for t4t ryomina :D !

ryomina are WEIRD GUYS TO ME!!! they are so strange and they understand each other better than anyone else because of the circumstances of their relationship!!! if you asked them to do the "i wonder what i taste like" meme i think they'd start biting each other (affectionate) tbh but that's just me.

after ryoji gives minato the music box in 12/31 on reload, minato listens to the music box every night in january. this boy has insomnia and also chronic illness to me (things that housing death does to you). but i think he finds comfort in the melody and memories he made with ryoji.

in general, i think it's fun to imagine minato taking ryoji to places and show him things he's interested in! i feel that ryoji takes a lot of interest in minato's life, this isn't really a hc because in reload, minato DOES give ryoji a tour of the school (11/9) and possibly port island (11/12). but ITS CUTE OK! (tangentially related fanwork: this series of doodles from vinnigami: 1, 2, and 3)

not a hc but minato's kindness is like the backbone of their relationship and i think we would not have the ryomina we know and love today if minato wasn't such a kind soul. oh minato.... we can learn so much from you... like ryoji did!

anyway! that's all the hcs that i could think of, thank you for the ask! i had a lot of fun answering this, these two mean a lot to me 💛💙

i hope you don't mind the links to the fanart and fanfic as well, the fanwork people have made for ryomina have really made an imprint on me! if you want to see more of them, i definitely recommend looking through my tag for them because oh. i got a lot of them reblogged alright 😂 (<- SOOO NORMAL)
