#i can't let this go to waste

An Update (Vent)

So I learned that no one on the dev team knows how to draw character sprites or design custom tilesets in MV. Least of all, me. And I signed up for the job title back when we were using VX Ace.

I tried purchasing every MV-compliant DLC under the sun, but I was completely lost as to how to install it. I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry my eyes out, I wanted to piss on Ronald Reagan's grave.

3 other people have MV, but no one knows how to design characters in it. So as of 2 days ago, the team is officially without a Sprites and Tilesets artist.

This game is going to never see the light of day if I can't find anyone who can actually draw everything out pixel by pixel. And I can't even blame anyone in my team. Too many shades of one color is just not worth the psychic damage.

I'd ask you to pray for us, but something bad happens to me every time someone does.

Louis is not a performer but the duet doesn't even have to happen in reality!! It could be a dream, it could be Lestat's imagination. Louis so present in his mind that it feels like he's singing alongside Lestat.

Or it could be a memory!! Lestat playing the piano, a song Louis knows. He starts humming and they start singing together, just like a cute little moment.

feeling sort of anxious and sensitive tonight. i want to talk about it, and ask the crowd/my followers/my mutuals a question.

i have been in college for six years. when i graduate next year, that'll mean i'll have been in college for seven.

some of this was my fault. academic mistakes are easy to make, especially when the american education system is so confusing to navigate.

and some of it was intentional. i was afraid to grow up, to move on. so i took my sweet time. that will end. next summer, i'll graduate with a bachelor's in english.

which means that *this* summer, will be my last official one as a student. i won't be pursuing grad school next year, or probably any time within the next five years. so this is it. the summer after this one will involve the grand job hunt, and moving out of my college town. and doing the Big Things.

so. my question. put yourself in my shoes for a moment. if this was going to be your last summer, how would you spend it? you're young, you've got decent transport, the budget isn't huge, but you can definitely plan well, and a few larger day trips or events are possible without damaging the bank account too much.

what would you do?

because i haven't the faintest clue how to use the opportunities i have.

due to circumstances (coughs stumbling on miraculous secrets on yt coughs) it has become knowledge to me that apparently, Marinette has stitched Chloe's stuffed teddy bear, Mr. Cuddles (I think that's his name I forgot don't sue me pls). I shall now make use of this information.

You may have answered this before, but how are you handling characters that don't believe in starclan, like mothwing and cloudtail? Personally I thought it was interesting when reading the books, considering cloudtail, but only to a point because it's very hard to write atheist characters in a setting where there's undeniable proof of the gods/spirits/etc. Like, how did they explain the literal forces of heaven and hell battling on earth??

As An Atheist Myself ™ I have a lot of feelings about the two of them. I think the short answer is just that in a setting where gods are literally undeniable facts of life, "Atheism" looks more like Dystheism, the belief that they exist, but are not worthy of worship.

That seemed to be the conclusion at the end of Mothwing's... i forgor the name of her novella 💀Mothflight's Blaspheme Boogie. It's actually why it's one of my favorite novellas, I really like the way it closes out with Mudfur trying to sales pitch StarClan's goodness to her, she doesn't buy a fucking penny of it, and ultimately concludes that the comfort it provides to her Clanmates is valuable to them but doesn't have to be for her.

So that's how I want to handle them. They have an outsider perspective to the fact that this is a theocracy, based on gods that can be vindictive and vengeful. Scourge/Iceheart is also joining these two, he actually is going to have a minor but important role in Squirrelflight's Horror as a ghost basically giving insight to what happens when you don't worship StarClan when you die.

With him and Mothwing I really know what I'm doing. Mothwing is insight to Leafpool, especially in TNP where she is now a POV, and observing how the though of StarClan influences the behavior of the cats around her. Scourge is killed in the Great Battle and serves as a ghost to witness their trial. Cloudtail...

Cloud's still evolving. He's going to be a supporting character with Ferncloud in her SE and exploring the feelings he has towards Ashfur, now his apprentice, becoming a villain. How he did his job perfectly, raised him with a deep respect towards the warrior code, and that lead to the person he is today. How he couldn't have done things "better" because this DID raise him the way his society expected him to.

But his dystheism is kind of secondary to that. I think the story I've got for him is fine so far, but it needs more of an 'ending' that I can't decide on until they finally kill him in the main books.

honestly the great thing about writing an anime muse is odds are they're a great singer because it seems like almost every japanese voice actor is also an amazing singer, lmao.
