Has this been done

[tatsumi-rin]

Whilst it's not what the post is quite about, I do prefer to ask myself "what will make me comfortable" vs "what will make me happy". For some reason, asking "what will make me happy" brings to mind more shorter-term, quick-fix solutions that don't have too much staying power. Those can be okay sometimes and can work, but in the long run definitely can't be your sole source of joy.

Asking "what will make me comfortable" makes me think of the grander scheme of things and what will work in the long run for me. Like for example; maybe a little extra sleep will help for a bit, but what will really help overall is tidying my depression pit of a room after that and picking up my half finished projects and tidying them away to do when my brain lets me.

Given how my (formally diagnosed by a professional in my case) autism works, that can be a little difficult; but trying to remind myself I'm bringing someone comfort - even if I don't want to admit that it's me - can really help.

What’s going to make you happy right now? Is it some cake? Is it a nap? Is it calling your mom? Is it going on a drive and blasting music? Is it taking a bath? Is it reading a book?

Check in with yourself because you deserve that happiness, whatever it is.

I'm so sorry but this is definitely what Taku was thinking during this scene

[tatsumi-rin]

Am I wrong

[tatsumi-rin]

I'm not a painter. Or a sculptor. But for some ungodly reason, I did it.

Towakitty.

He's come a long way - just paint, milliput, and a gay porn dream; all on a little factory-second Aphmau. I love him.

Some progress pictures below the cut! Way more on my blog if you want to dig through the Slow Damage tag.

Anyone else thought about this?

With the popularity of Mouthwashing as a game, I've seen people who talk about it talk about the mouthwash itself as a metaphor for Jimmy (and they're definitely correct in their read imo), but dear god NO ONE is talking about it as a potential metaphor for Pony Express itself as a company.

This is an item considered to be an essential. It is a dental hygiene product dentists would generally recommend you have. 99.9% of bacteria gone - but this one is loaded with sugar. Using this is going to be detrimental to its own cause and probably worse than using no mouthwash at all.

Pony Express? No matter your start, it seems like a good, stable job and a promising future. People will always need goods transported to other planets. It even has a cute mascot representing pride in their work that they sell toys of to kids!

Butttttt, the caveats. Oh boy, the caveats. All of those cute images are done to soften the blow of little red pieces of text about how doing things to the point of basically existing means your credits are going to get docked - something that's just as much Aperture Science-esque dark humor as horrible foreshadowing. Late delivery? Docked. Resting in any manner for more than five hours? Docked. Using medical support in any manner? Docked. REPORTING ISSUES TO HR??? MOTHER. FUCKING. DOCKED.

And trying to avoid any of those dockings; those detriments? Pretty much impossible, and that would spell doom for anyone: including members of a certain ship. With every one of those rules, if they survived that payout would be hilariously low. The usual rules; made by out of touch people in fancy suits.

The members of the Tulpar all (mostly) had reasons to be there, even at radically different life stages. Reasons why they needed the work, and reasons why it should fulfill those reasons and enrich their lives.

It was meant to be Jimmy's ticket away from struggling on earth. It was meant to be Daisuke gaining direction in life. It was meant to be Anya finally getting into medical school. It was meant to be Swansea gaining a stable and fulfilling life as he made it into sobriety, and it was meant to be Curly making it further up into his career path with glowing words of praise.

As per capitalism's usual spiel that we were even shown in the game itself via public domain cartoon, taking this job was meant to be joyous opportunity and innovation for their lives; but with so many flaws in the system around them around them - including the words on those posters - just trying to find benefit in the system they needed in order to survive was nothing more than fatal poison. The dead pixel, the sugar, and the 0.1% all working together.

Trying to workshop some DMMD-style Slow Damage sprites to make pins out of, because every time a certain someone sees my DMMD ones I made they make a comment about how they wish there were Towa and Rei ones (they got really into their route and I don't blame them because they're the OTP 5ever tbh).

Figured I should ask what people are feeling - would this Towa be a yay or nay? Trying to do a character who dresses in all black and has details like scarring that are too fine to add is the worstttttttt but looking at Clear and Mizuki's sprites is saving my ass. If I can do the other guys maybe I have another thing to get working on 👀👀

EDIT: Rei!!!

Since alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll five of the osomatsu fans on tumblr are talking about it again, I just want to remind people of the dub since for me it is genuinely one of the greatest of all time tbh

Reading the first volume of the summer Hikaru died and uh

Fellas what's the heterosexual explanation for that

Objectively the funniest notification I've had as a consequence of looking up games on ebay

Towa Slow Damage manages to fit a perfect balance between insanely fuckable edgy yaoi game man, soft boy who desperately needs a hug everyone wishes they could give to him, and man I would stay 50000ft from because he would probably be the cause of potentially serious injury to someone including himself in the process of encountering him

[tatsumi-rin]

To me, Noiz DMMD is the one who's the most weirdly similar to Towa Slow Damage in terms of their relationships with trauma and pain (and sex, to an extent), but this is also why they would 1000% accidentally kill one another if they were locked in a room together for longer than 10 seconds, be it through violent fucking or something else

So I'm playing Rei's route currently
