#i kinda like the style of the pixelated tho idk

[narsh-poptarts]

cutting out my ace attorney stickers has me thinking about ace attorney again <3

i really need to make a third batch of these, what i've got rn is original trilogy and AJ. adding athena and blackquill and the like would probably be in the third

I'm new to sims 4 and I randomly found your blog and man, your stories are so well-constructed! I never imagined the sims being used like this and it's been very fun to follow your little guys go about their lives lol if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been creating these intricate stories in the game? And do you know already how your current storyline is going to end or do you go with the flow and see what happens?

ohhh waaaait, that's so exciting!! i legit thought the exact same thing when i first stumbled upon sims stories here on simblr!! AHH! i was like.. wait, i can actually write out all the shit in my head and share it with ppl?! LET'S DO IT!

it warms my lil heart that you enjoy following my pixel ppls lives right along with me 🥺 i suppose i've always kinda come up with some form of story for em, in ts4 anyway, even when i was just playing legacy style for myself and not rlly sharing anything here - way back in 2017/18! that's when i picked up ts4.. before that i played a lot of ts3 but i spent a lot of time making worlds in CAW rather than playing and with ts2/ts1 i think i mostly just played with an empty head 😂 they're a bit of a childhood blur tbh lmao

i don't currently have an "end" in mind for my current story 🤔 not rlly, anyway.. i suppose it's kinda open ended since it's more like a slice of life story u kno, but i do have a lot of ideas written out, and an "end" for Robin's childhood arc! i think we'll do a timeskip to his teen years then, and after that another one so Wren/Byrd will be teens n' Robin will be too still, just like older, in his last year of high school or maybe college idk eventually Forever in Between will end too, but idk how yet.. it'll be right before Robin reaches young adulthood i reckon, since i'll probably start a new, more plot based story with him after that (that's a majorly vague idea for the future for now tho 😅)

i'm a big fan of wingin' it! so who knows where we're going lmaoo, i sure don't!!

late night thought but im wondering if the reason pb added a shirt to victory mammon is purely for the adore feature (specifically the undressing part). like based on his card art the sport appears to be swimming, a sport that very much does not make you wear a shirt (or accessories for that matter that necklace is gonna get him dq'ed) LOL. only times you would wear clothing is in btwn swim events to keep yourself warm, but thats assuming the meet in general is gonna take up like half your day

this may just also be just the low quality visual but the outfit for the victory card is almost identical to his attacker card?, only difference is that he would be wearing a jammer (yes thats the official term for competitive swimsuits for men lol) rather than nothing 💀💀

idk i might be getting kinda getting nit picky but i would like to see smth like his butt card again, where the undressing feature just progressively removes his underwear, tho instead of underwear itd be his jammer lol

also shouldve gave him a speedo,,,, just sayin 😶

i think i could kinda understand that bc mammon quite literally has very little clothing to begin w (whole upper half being exposed essentially etc etc), itd be kinda hard to stick w that style of him while also including the spicy parts aka making him naked straight up lmao,, but just throwing on an unbuttoned shirt is going to get a bit redundant?

like lets take the victory card for example. if we want to hypothetically alter it so that there is more clothing we can do that by him wearing a loose shirt + jacket w designs for tartaros or whatev team he'll be on when competing (emphasis on loose, ik mammons whole thing is huge bongos that make most clothing fight for their lives but i do genuinely want to see him in smth thatd look more comfy cozy like his normal outfit) and then keep his jammers exposed aka no pants lol. accessories id tbh remove the necklace and instead of him holding the goggles (from what i can tell in the very little pixels in his card art) he would have them over his head (it is very much possible for him to wear goggles lol he just needs to take extra steps to put them on given his horn)

idk tbh it kinda sucks that his butt card is the only one where he is 95% naked from the getgo, like no accessories or whatever, just him in his underwear lol. i wish victory mammon was just him wearing the jammer and goggles, but oh well 💀

will this make any sense? ofc not i see the sun rising from the corner of my eye while writing this i have NOT had my eepy time yet LMAO. i also ranted a bit more than i expected LOL this is what happens when i rant abt a sport i love/hate and a blorbo i cherish w all my being. tho honestly im just dissecting every mammon crumb we get considering the lack of story updates + official mammon content in general

So- people have been complaining about how artists draw top surgery scars bc its "too noticeable"

I like the rep, I wanted to hear your opinion as an artist

Have ppl been complaining abt this? I haven't rly heard this. Idrk the context for this discussion so sorry if my reply's a bit rambly.

I think if someone likes drawing visible top surgery scars it's fine. Top surgery scars are like one of the easiest visual shorthands for saying "this character is transmasc" w/o actually saying it. (There are other ways to indicate this too, tho.)

How prominently someone draws scars is like a personal decision imo, there can b a lot of factors to it ig. like I as a trans person would not mind having visible top surgery scars, so I do kinda tend to draw scars more visible than they would b irl. My art style is also just not v realistic in general. but some other trans artist who wouldn't want visible scars on themselves might draw less noticable scars. It can also just depend on someone's interpretation of a character, like would this character get a surgery that has less scarring, would this character get top surgery at all, etc etc.

Idk imo it's just personal preference and how ur thoughts/feelings might deliberately or subconsciously influence ur art style; nothing like right or wrong abt drawing prominemt scars or less prominent scars.

Tho rereading your ask, if you specifically mean cis ppl are complaining abt artists drawing top surgery scars in general & find a character having a visibly trans body "too noticeable" or "too distracting," then i rly think those ppl need to reevaluate their opinions. If they think a couple pixels on an image are too distracting, they probably just have a problem w trans ppl.

do you like vaporwave? if so, some of your favs? if not, why not?

Technically yes, but I try to not really engage with vaporwave as a genre or aesthetic because I feel like viewing it that way can negatively impact the way I view an actual work. Like I dont want to listen to something and think "this is good for vaporwave" or something, yknow, I wanna take stuff on its own merits. That being said I do enjoy what would be considered the "vaporwave sound" and if you watch my streams im very obviously vaporwave/webcore/y2k/etc. adjacent in visual style (tho i think the "outrun" branch kinda sucks and needs to go away.)

The first thing I heard that introduced me to that type of sound was "Flowers" by bEEdEEgEE ft. Lovefoxxx and is still something I come back to. (Photosensitivity warning btw)

"Vaporwave" wasnt well known as a term yet, so I just knew this particular song hit different at the time.

Then obviously Floral Shoppe hit, which I still think is good even if it has a lot of baggage associated with it nowdays (effectively created the "genre" and "aesthetic" elements that got overused/misunderstood/etc.) At that point I would probably have said I was a fan, even though I really didn't engage with the scene that much. As such, idk who all turned out to be dirtbags so I'm not gonna vouch for any of them as people except Vektroid who, ironically, I met as a fellow vtuber rather than through her music, still kinda baffled we're mutuals tbh lol.

I think I mostly just listened to Far Side Virtual, A Heart Full of Love, The occasional PrismCorp, I've enjoyed what I've heard of Windows96 Also enjoyed the rare "can we make this a thing?" stuff like this Especia track, and honestly just a bunch of shit that appeared on my youtube that is long forgotten.

Over time I started to listen to more Future Funk than Vaporwave because of the Artzie Music youtube channel. Some songs I would actually go back to are:

After listening to some of the stuff in my youtube likes from however many years ago, there absolutely was a lot of "this is good for what it is" type of stuff that I don't think I would listen to again, so I'm just sharing the stuff that I think holds up.

---

Honorable "Maybe not really Vaporwave but occupies the same brain space" Mentions:

The work of Isaac Delusion, The work of Princess Chelsea, in particular No Church On Sunday & Is It All Okay, The work of Yeule, in particular Pretty Bones & Pixel Affection The work of Gang Gang Dance (a member of which is bEEdEEgEE)

And of course the "City Pop was a thing???" era of vaporwave/futurefunk that gave us stuff like Plastic Love (I dont even need to link it, you know.) Fantasy, I Love You So, Telephone Number, Glass No Sogen, etc.

---

Even with all its baggage and for-better-or-worse genre trappings, I think the Vaporwave Era was really inspiring, having hundreds of people who all were taken up in the frenzy and just made shit. Looking back at some of this stuff really makes me wish I had the knowledge and drive to get back* into music. Maybe someday.

Fnaf movie spoilers under cut

Criminal under use of afton but I loved him kicking ass in the suit.

Completely evil man cut and dry and the spring lock scene was good. Obviously not a lot of blood but the crunches still were gruesome. The final act was pretty much like the book when they dragged him away and locked him in the room still alive. We def getting springtrap in the next movie. He said the line. I always come back. Love his shit I hope they make MERCH for movie spring bonnie

The rest of the movie was different. Vanessa is Williams daughter and mike isn’t related to him. So different universe than main canon but I still love it

Also William why the fuck did you show up, there was no reason to come there no one would believe that ghosts are real but go off. I mean he knows they are real so I guess he just wanted no survivors.

I am excited for the next one bc you know it’s gonna be fnaf 3 based

also him sitting there bleeding out and reaching to the ghost only to have the door shut on him while he is still alive was perfect. rot for 30 years man

was it all i ever wanted for my birthday? yeah it went a lot how i predicted i mean any fan would kinda know. the springlock is what we all came for and it delivered pretty good. more gutteral screaming and blood would have been nice but yeah. more afton in general being evil and manipulative would have been nice. honestly the pixel story in the beginning was perfect. i give it an 8/10 we love it we stan. it exists and is good.

here is the thing: why would william go out of his way to kidnap and kill garret? they were camping in the woods far away.

because i believe mike is adopted and is actually the son of william. and to get back at losing custody of mike, he went and took away their son garret. that's my running theory. william paused when reading mikes last name in the file.

tho to be fair willy was ready to kill mike at the end of the movie, but ya know. we know he never liked mike /that/ much.

i think garret is also going to be the puppet. or maybe golden freddy idk. we didnt get any henry or charlie emily mention in the movie so idk if they even exist. the old vhs said "the owner" as in singular. and they didnt mention any other locations or fredbears or anything. so we just dont know yet, but the sequel is in pre production right now, the fnaf movie EXPLODED the box offices in sales yippee!!

anyways i fucking love springbonnie's tubby body, gonna fuck sloppy style kasjdkadjdjkkjdjkd peak design perfect vision. gimme gimme gimme

Hello. Gonna post some pixel art in the pokemon gen 1 style that I also posted to Cohost.

Edit: Holy cats, this looks bad on mobile. It looks fine in editing on mobile and looks fine on desktop. Maybe I'll export them differently next time.

Shuppet:

This Meowth clock was envisioned to be like, a tile that would go on a wall in R/B/Y, but it’s too big for that:

Espurr (idk why I kept the background color in when I exported this) :

I kinda liked the rough draft of Espurr better tho, they got a diet pepsi:

Meowstics:

Pumpkaboo:

Perrserker:

Alolan Persian (I’m really proud of this one, turned out really good and made me feel depersonalization or jamais vu or something like that. If there’s a proper term for when something you’ve created feels too good to be yours, I’m unaware of it.) :

Hisuian Sneasel:

Yamper:

Furfrou (I don’t really like this one, was trying not to make them face forward, somethings off and idk exactly what, good practice tho and not as bad as I remembered) :

Alolan Meowth:

Here’s some of my PMD OC’s:

This is Riolu (He doesn’t have a name other than Riolu) :

This is his partner (avidly platonic; not, like, romantic), Fae:

Here’s Riolu again, less shocked; with and without scarf:

I want to do some kind of larger project with the two of them. I have the creative output of an incandescent bulb; so, like, who knows when or if that’ll happen anytime soon.  

Fae in particular has taken up a lot of room in my mind. Started a sketchbook that I’ve been posting to Cohost and have mainly been focusing on her design. Trying to get details consistent and from different angles, other art things I am currently unaware of, but maybe’ll learn later.  

Unrelated to my OC’s; here’s an Eevee:

Anyway, here’s my Cohost: https://cohost.org/Childebert

I’m probably gonna be more active there and not bother posting *absolutely everything* here. I got the aforementioned sketchbook; dream journals; game thoughts; thoughts that I think are funny at the time, but I regret later, but not enough to delete; uhh I used to have a lot of disorganized stress posts that iirc were pretty negative, but I think I got most of them back into drafts now. They were long and rambly and I wasn’t really venting in a way that was conducive to figuring out solutions, I don’t think. Gonna use my private journal instead and try and keep stress-posting to a minimum.

Idk all the pre gen 6 overworld sprites give me insane cute agression and makes me want to fucking grab them like a small being and crush them with one hand. I want to put them into a little terrarium and study them

i guess it doesn't affect me that much when they're pixelated 🤔 i'm used to pixelated sprites being Like That so it just doesn't activate me. i actually didn't rly like the move to more proportionate bodies in gen7, i think they look kinda silly. i like the gen6 sprites better. obviously now it's switched to full 3D with normal proportions so the result feels different but for the style 6 and 7 were still at i liked 6's take better (the big proportionate models of PLA are probably my favorite overall tho they looked rly good in close-ups... not as into the scavio ones tbh but they're fine)

[mayorofclowntown]

Ok I remembered my dream from last night:

So basically there was a Sam and Max game-like thing, I don't know if it came out after Hit the Road or something, but it had the basics. And it began on the map. I clicked somewhere an it brought to an apartment? I think?

Sam was sad and like, upset. Max was there but he was? Like distant and if they talked Max would like wave off and say "don't worry about it." so Sam was just yknow. Sad.

Sam suggests going to bed but the phone rings. However it was a different phone and Max is like "oh shit gotta go" but Sam is like "nah like where are you going bro my beloved" and it is revealed Max has a secret, second job of being the hero, king, and ruler of a bunch of weird creatures and that rn he had to go. Sam gets upset and just lays down in bed and whines like a dog (very sad). And Max leaves.

Now, the art style changes and it's more of a drawing than pixels, and Max is at his job! He apologizes for being late that his "friend" was holding him up. Shit happens and then we change scenes.

This art style is what i like to call "idk-how-to-make-a-comic-but-im-trying-my-best" with bright-ish colors. The creatures like, can shape shift? So most of the time they shape shift to Max and fight (most of the time they help Max be a hero idk it was weird).

Some how tho, one of the bugs was like "we need something bigger n stronger" and so it somehow shape shifted into SAM and Max like freezes with the "oh shit" kinda thing and after the battle the bugs were like "so king Max- bro r u good" an Max straight up was like "I don't wanna do this anymore my husband is home", quits his secret job and goes back to Sam and is like "I'm so sorry shawty bae u know I'm stupid as hell 💔" and Sam is like "yeah you are" and that's where my dream ends.

[fictional-worlds-are-exquisite]

i looked up forest farm layouts for stardew valley because i was trying to figure out how i should lay things out in the awkward space in front of my house and now i’m just very overwhelmed by how complicated and how well thought out most of these pictures are like damn i just wanted to know where to put my newly built sprinklers and if my scarecrow would reach far enough now i’m feeling like my little field of little crops means nothing

[vaugarde]

2,3,10 :3

2. Do you prefer the 2D or 3D games (in terms of style or the games in general)?

i really need to hand it to the pixel style, i think it just struck the perfect feeling for the series and the environments in both pixel games are just absolutely gorgeous in the style.... gti and psmd had good environments but idk if i can say the style did them justice (ESPECIALLY in gti's case. i love glacier palace but just compare its ingame model to how its portrayed in the animated trailer... it was one of the first 3ds games so i cant be too hard on it, but still. psmd is better with its animations and environments but i still felt as tho some areas could look better. if we get more games in dx's style tho id be up for it...)

3. Which final boss and/or final dungeon do you like the most (whether from a narrative or gameplay perspective)?

well i have different final boss preferences on narrative and gameplay so ill give two sjdklfjsdf

narratively its primal dialga. i love how fight to the finish, while heroic, sounds almost somber at times, like how the hero KNOWS theyre going to disappear after this, but is still fighting to save the world. i also love how organic the final boss is, i liked the concept in gti but i dont really like how psmd made the final boss another "manifestation" deal when yveltal was right there. i just kinda like it when its a corrupt pokemon that needs saving in its own way, with its spinoff-exclusive design. so, primal dialga! in every way the battle feels like a culmination of everything, from the leitmotifs in the song to the arena itself.

my issue with it gameplay-wise is the roar of time move. the way that the game hinges on you bringing as many reviver seeds as possible bc it usually one-shots you in normal gameplay is really annoying and needed better balancing.

gameplay-wise, its dark matter! i do have issues w it narratively (or at least with the buildup) so its not my fave there, but the gameplay for it is magnificent. i LOVE the two phases, i love how it starts with hero and partner evolved, only for them to devolve and save the tree of life without its help, i love the environment and how its the boxart of the game (!!) the music slaps, and i found the tile segments to be SUPER fun. idk i always have a good time with the dark matter battle, again i have issues w it narratively but its a fun time!

10. Which ending do you like the most?

ohhh hard one. it kinda depends on whether you count the postgame i guess? bc i love the main story ending for explorers, with how the hero knew they were going to die but couldnt tell partner til it happened, partner spreading the story but falling into a mindless routine to deal with their grief, to breaking down at the spot where the two first met, thats absolutely beautiful, but i dont care for the darkrai stuff in the actual postgame ending. and then gates to infinity's ending still makes me cry. yeah, the ending is more spontaneous (part of why i like explorer's ending is bc its gradual and hero knowing abt their death just. hits so much more when they go on with it anyways) but everyone defying the literal laws of the universe to remember the hero because they love them THAT much... fuck dude. i was in shambles. i am still in shambles. and then the postgame being about partner trying to get them back and succeeding, how they also fall into a depressed routine but dont know if they want to bring back hero bc they dont want to deny them their birth place so they can be together, only for their friends to encourage it and give hero the choice to go back and forth, and the hero chooses to come back... thats good shit. i really cant choose between those two, it depends on what you count as the ending i guess

[wereh0gz]

Ok so like I just came up with the BEST idea for a Sonic spinoff game

Gonna put it under the cut 'cause it's kinda long lol

Ok so like the game takes place in the future and it focuses on Silver. The story could be about Silver trying to save the world and how no matter what he does it always seems like his future will always be ruined by something. Maybe the villain could be Time Eater (and maybe Eggman Nega idk). The Time Stones could make a comeback as well, maybe they have the power to truly stop Time Eater and seal it away or something. So now Silver's traveling the world, trying to fix all the damage Time Eater has caused, close the genesis portals that started showing up everywhere (like the ones we see during his arc in the Archie comics), and get all the Time Stones to stop Time Eater. Shadow and Omega could show up since Shadow's immortal and Omega is a robot that can probably last long enough to be in Silver's future. They could help Silver on his quest to save the world.

The game could be a 2D platformer that focuses on exploration and puzzle solving, instead of getting to the end as fast as possible. Silver could use his psychokinesis to lift up platforms, move obstacles out of the way, stuff like that. He could also use it to float for a short period of time and destroy badniks. He has a meter that tells you how long he can use his power before getting tired, but you can eventually upgrade it so that it lasts longer.

There'd be different areas with a hub world and a set of 4 or 5 levels. Each level has a genesis portal at the end, some summoning badniks from other time periods, while others leading to a Time Stone. The ones leading to the Time Stones are bigger and at the final level of each area. The final boss with Time Eater would take place in a sort of time rift area, with glitchy and monochrome versions of the areas Silver has visited along with other recognizable places from previous Sonic games.

I think as a neat bonus you can actually look for the Chaos Emeralds and get Silver's Super form. There's a special ring in each stage and if you complete the special stage you get a Chaos Emerald, just like in previous games. They're not the main focus tho, just a little extra thing that may or may not unlock a different ending.

I think the graphics could be pixelated like classic games but with a modern twist. Kinda like Sonic Mania but with the modern designs. Idk I just really want a Modern Sonic game in a 2D style. I think it'd be really cool if the really important cutscenes like the opening and the ending were fully animated too.

And that's basically it! Silver really deserves his own game like seriously Sega where's my Silver The Hedgehog game. Where is it. Hand it over right now-

[dogtheories]

ok lolllllll awful old art under the cut for you to laugh at

i do not have the first digital thing i drew. this is however the first one i posted. this was after id been doing it for a bit tho i think. also i used to take photos of trad sketches and import them into ms paint as a bitmap to draw over. somehow this one looks good tho? 

this is older i think. according to the datemark. scully. somehow this is ok too

an oc. hey somehow. my art style has kind of reverted to this idk how to feel about this. i did learn about chins tho

i cannot tell if this is ms paint or not but i think it is? this is fine until you get to the. everything about the proportions. son learn some size relativity between the head and the body pls. also i couldnt really have resized it i guess being ms paint

IS THIS MS PAINT OR WHAT I CANT TELL THE WAY THE LINES PIXELATE TELL ME IT IS BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A DEFAULT PHOTOSHOP BRUSH THAT DID THAT anyway this is ok too. when will i hit my regression 

an oc again. this is cute ackshually 

ok now we have hit the photoshop. cue me falling into the smudge tool trap 

learn to draw before you try stylising bitch. what the fuck are these colours i will puke 

i think this was my biggest post (149 notes) and why tho

literally i hate how smooth everything was get off the default hard round pressure size brush’s dick. also i copied the way i drew eyes off another artist in the fandom at the time. bad idea

lol your fill bucket bleed son.......also this is kinda cool but i pushed proportions without knowing what i was doing lmao

the smudge tool on this. impeccable. love how stretched this is 

killian....?

this is simultaneously kinda cool and very lazy at the same time 

thats ok i guess

i used to be kinda ok at painting...

then i gained this awful ultra shiny ultra saturated bubbly kinda bullshit here. hate this. the stylisation is ok but the execution sucks

also fucked with lineless. this is pretty good but i think i may have traced the sketch 

hm. this is decent but still overly shiny. i picked that up from someone who knew what they were doing with it. i did not

and then i stopped doing digital for like 3 years because of circumstances. hello today the rest of my style progression is contained in a lot of loose paper and sketchbooks. i will not dig them out

[vespiiqueen]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you (if you want !! 💛💖)

Wow I rambled a lot with this but i can't add cuts bc I'm on mobile rn DHSISHSJ sorry :"))))

.

.

1. Ik Ik "haha how cringe are you" of me to say, but honestly? Homestuck. Homestuck helped me in a time of need and when i so desperately wanted something to latch onto. Finally, I caved into my friends telling me to read it-- and it's been a blast!! The epilogues / hs^2 make me feel kinda sad though, because so much of what I loved about the original was yeeted through the nine circles of hell and into the trash. I love Y/ffany's (I call her Yippi tho) design, the art is really pretty at times, Harry is a major dork, I LIVE for seeing Vrissy bc honestly?? Her design is 10/10, very early 2000s emo style and I also live for that. Tavros is cute and a nerd and I think that's swell!

But in terms of story and how any of this happens, it makes me sad to see it happen. If Vriska could return as Vrissy, why not OTHER beta trolls? Where's my Eridan fish man, writers?? Give me the boy or perish by my fury.

2. Also super "haha how cringe are you" but,,, murder cats (Warriors), esp the early 2005-2015 amvs and stuff. I remember watching Flightfootwarrior's "I Will Not Bow" Scourge amv for HOurs and having no clue what was happening, but all these edgy kitties were KITTIES! It's introduced me to a lot of music I still listen to to this very day (Imagine Dragons, Young/the entirety of Hollywood Undead, Breaking Benjamin). And yknow what?? This new arc is absolute chaos, but in the good way.

I'm an "OG Fan". I prefer the first arc, The Prophecies Begin, to almost any of the other arcs. I just could never get into the other arcs-- not to say I haven't read them, I HAVE and the Fire Scene was probably one of my favorite moments beside grumpy Jaypaw, god complex Lionblaze, and fear the gods Hollypaw. I thought the build-up for it was SUPER satisfying. Gray Wing is my baby and I fully embellish in the Gray Wing is Silverpelt theory.

This new arc is definitely something new for the universe. While I didn't read aVoS (but I may do that if i can find the files for it), and so I don't know the major events of it other than what I've seen M.A.P.'s (Multi-Animator Projects, for clarification,,, bc unfortunately that term is also something disgusting). There's fucking cat possession and all the Clans questioning their belief system, yo. Shit be on fire.

Also the Imposter is 100% Ashfur, that's canon now, yeah??? Also im sorry but fuck Root x Bristle that's the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Give me Root x Shadow or face the wrath of my dragon plushies.

RiverClan is my Clan and my gov assigned warrior name is Fireshell 🌟🌟

3. As much as I hate the author,,,,, Harry Potter. It's been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can never really remember why, but I've always just loved it- the movies, the books, the extra little merch that would pop up in my local Walmart. Of course my favorite character is Draco Malfoy. I could go on and on and ON about how I think his character arc was SHIT and JKR didn't have the balls to make him a confident gay man that was always implied through the text (at least, my lesbian ass thought it was implied but i may just be projecting, idk). I could ramble about Draco for HOURS and what I think his character SHOULD have been and how his parents are horrible (more specifically, Lucius bc Narcissa [?] Actually showed a few good moments), and a child should never have to pay for their parents sins.

Oh noo, Draco's a villain because he's a victim of major abuse and peer pressure? He's a villain because a literal child can be horrible and they'll always always always stay as a horrible little fiend?? Fuck that. He's a child.

Unlike manchild grease pan Snape, who was a racist piece of shit and shouldn't have became a fucking school teacher but it's okay because he was ~~~in love~~~. No, fuck you, he was a creep. James Potter n Co may have been a little posh bitch to you, Snape, but that's no fucking excuse to continue to bluntly be a little cunt all the way into adulthood. You're an adult who flatly changed your PATRONUS to imitate Lily's. You have no excuse. And Harry went and named his child after you LIKE JESUS CHRIST, DID RON'S SISTER NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE NAMES TOO?????

I also fully adore the idea that Muggles can run into Hogwarts and their patronus can 100% be a made up, fantasy creature. Imagine you learn the patronus spell and suddenly fucking ARCEUS comes from your wand. Imagine learning the spell and CHTULU (i did not spell that right but im so tired) comes from your wand-- an entire ass fucking Lovecraftian, Eldrith horror is just the embodiment of you. What if it was a fucking Homestuck character like Vriska? How fucking METAL would that be?? Hskajssowjjsjs get on it fandom.

4. Hee hee very evident by my url but Pokemon is another major thing of mine. While vespiquen isn't my favorite (that title goes to Hydreigon), it is definitely up there!

I've ALWAYS enjoyed the idea of Pokemon. You run around, training up these fight monsters and collecting them. I remember playing my sister's Ruby version on her flip-up Gameboy. I couldn't even read but I ran around catching god only knows how many of the same pokemon wherever she was. Apparently, I had fought for hours in the same area and leveled her Blaziken up to lvl 50 something and left her lvl 30s in the dust LMAO.

I got my first game when it was Pearl/Diamond. It was Pearl, and it still holds a very fond place in my heart. I could barely read, I could barely write-- I had named my Turtwig something along the lines of "MmorpHy" and my player boy "ZbsibJ". Yes I remember the names slightly. I really didn't get far-- I barely got to the first gym but I was just so happy to play it.

I eventually lost the game, as a 5 year old would do, but I can still vividly remember what was happening when the game arrived. I had just came back from the dentist and was quite tired from fighting the dentist bc I was super scared. Mom suddenly handed me a box and said it was mine-- my overseas (at that time) dad had bought me Pearl and my sister Diamond, because I lost my shit about it when he visited one time.

Well, tdlr, I played it for about five minutes while struggling to stay awake against the loopy gas they made me take. I fell asleep listening to Twinleaf Town's soundtrack. Every time I play a rom of Pearl and I get to where the player's house fades in and I hear that first tune of the song, I get a huge smile on my face and cry-- as.. Weird as it sounds.

A few years later, I had gotten Pokemon Black bc I liked Reshiram on the cover. Now, this one I could actually READ when playing, but I don't remember a lot of things about it. I probably lost this one too, as a 8/9 year old would do. I DO remember, I chose Snivy and my sister chose Tepig (hrmm there's a theme here of grass/fire goin on......) and vibing to the music. I was so amazed by the sprites moving, I just kept getting into encounters to see the sprites move (oh boy, no one tell younger 7-9 y/o me about Zelda......oh wait....)

Playing Pokemon NOW, as a 17 year old """gifted""" chick, I stil have very fond memories. I recently beat Pokemon Black again and GOD the OTS SLAPS. I fucking adore the soundtrack-- the track that plays when you battle a trainer, the low health dings being turned into a legit song that also slaps, the battle! gym leader themes-- and oh my gOd, the legendary theme is amazing? It really tells you just how glorious these pokemon are supposed to be. It's not intimidating like Groudon/Kyroge/Rayquaza's themes. It's not action packed like Palkia/Dialga's is, it's not filled with tension like Giratina/Arceus's is-- but it radiates the GLORY that the beasts portray. And I live for that. (Also, Kyurem's version is my favorite because it glitches in the beginning and that's rly cool)

P/D/P and BW/BW2's stories, imo, are some of the greatest ones. Yeahhh, US/USUM's is cool and I haven't played XY nor SwSh-- but the ones I can find memorable are PDP and BW/BW2. I love N. I love Barry. They're my sons. Ghetsis is fucking terrifying, Cyrus needs a hug. Giratina scared the piss out of me when I was younger, which was NOT helped by Giratina and The Sky Warrior.

I think my favorite movies are the gen 4 ones. The Rise of Darkrai having a tear-jerking theme for such a mysterious pokemon (i still tear up when i hear Ocarion), Giratina being spiteful is a mood and Shaymin was cute, Arceus being angry is also a mood. Yeah, Pokemon 4Ever made me cry my eyes out over Celebi, Mewtwo Returns made me again cry because Mewtwo accepting who he is, I remember how vastly different the BW movies are-

I just. I have a lot of memories with the series, even if Gamefreak and Nintendo kinda do the series dirty a lot (your top-grossing thing and you made That monstrosity for the Switch? How dare you.). It's comforting to be stressed and pull up my roms for the games and to play them. Mystery Dungeon is incredibly fun to play, Pokemon Ranger is really fun with the concept (Shadows of Almia continues to kick my ass to this very day and FUCK the Jungle Relic, I hate the Water Challenge fucking gyarados bullshit). I remember the pokemon I got for MD (I got Time, my sis got Darkness) was Mudkip, if that is any help.

I love my little fictional pixel monsters.

5. Yup, someone told tiny 7-9 y/o me about console games. The legend of Zelda. My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess on the Wii and BOY did I play the fucking SHIT out of that game.

Honestly, looking back and looking at playthroughs now-- I still love TP. Twilight Princess is still one of my top favorite Zelda games-- yes, even after playing OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, the anniversary four swords edition for the DS where you could play by yourself (Nintendo pls bring that back, I don't have friends to play it with ;-;), Phantom Hourglass- ect.

Something about Twilight Princess grabbed me by the head and yeeted me into the world. I can remember playing it for hours with little to no breaks. I, a tiny 9 y/o, had gotten the hang of the controllers and managed to get past the tutorial quite easily. And then, I was launched into the game and I wasn't stopping for NOTHING. Mom and Dad would have to force me to save and get off to go and eat dinner. THAT sucked.

I had done everything on my own up until the first temple, the forest temple. Not where/when you saved the dumb kid, but when you were saving the spirit's light. Theeeeeeennn I got stuck on the fucking Forest Temple for deadass six months straight. I'd play for hours, running around in circles, unable to figure out where to go, and because I didn't grasp the temple's purpose of being that way- I'd get angry and get off. It wasn't until dad looked up a walkthrough and talked me through what I was supposed to do that I learned how to get through temples.

I had gotten to the last little fight with Ganondorf before the Wii broke and i could no longer play. Despite the Wii being broke and we got rid of it, I was ADAMANT on keeping the game, and I kept that game for YEARS. It was an original copy out of a sealed box, and I eventually lost it when I left it accidentally at my now ex-friend's house.

She had a Wii and I went "hey I have a Wii game!" And I brought my Zelda over. Worst fucking choice of my goddamn life. Mom called me to come home and said I couldn't sleep over like the original plan was, and that was it. My ex-friend stashed my Zelda and I never saw it again. And, even if I wanted to-- I couldn't get it back, which makes me upset. We had a BAD falling out. She likely doesn't even remember it's there, or sold it to the local game junkie kid who buys ALL games.

But I still love the game. Midna was amazing, and I loved how snarky she was and she has a very cute design! The game's OST is fucking phenomenal. Midna's Desperate Hour makes me cry bc goddamn it really sells how serious that situation is. I love Hyrule Field's theme in this game. I love the Twilight Realm's song. Zant was fucking hilariously scary. Ganondorf's design in this game scared the piss out of me when I was younger.

Midna and this game's Link and Zelda are def my favorites. Yeah yeah, Sheik is cool and all I Guess but dhsushwishs Midna holds the special place in my heart. She was totally my gay awakening BUT

For other game antagonists, I adore Ghirahim-- let's go you funky little queer-coded villain. Skull Kid was great, I love the entire dynamic of him. Prankster lost soul stumbles upon Majora's Mask and the mask makes him act out due to powers-- which, I actually took very heavy inspiration from for one of my OCs. The moon falling to Hyrule was a fucking terrifying looming threat.

But the game series holds a place, and I've yet to be able to play BoTW-- although, I'm fairly certain I'll like it. The playthroughs I've watched of it are all fairly decent! I just. Gotta save up enough money to buy it haha.

Dang guess I gotta go watch a Twilight Princess playthrough again.

Honorable Mentions:

Avatar: the Last Airbender, specifically Book 3

my OCs definitely make me happy, they're my children and I'd ramble A LOT longer if given the chance WHEEZE

My friends, but I didn't add them here bc it's more fictional stuff, I presume

Baking. I love to bake cupcakes.

Painting is fun. I'm an artist and goddammit im going to use painting as an excuse to make a mess.

Fire. I rly like fire, down to a pyromaniac level. However, i hate the fires that happened to my home town, the Great Smokey Fires of 2016-- THAT pissed me off. How dare you burn mountain landscapes to the ground. Perish.

History. I'm a history nerd.

I'm also a science nerd.

But fuck math, I cannot comprehend math to save my life.

For some reason, I rly like learning how the human body works??? like did you know, organs are actually sticky when touched by a bare hand?? Did you?? How fucking cool is that.

Bakugan. I love Bakugan, esp the DS game. I love my Darkus Leonidas. Give me back the online world, you peasants-- I want my Darkus Dragonoid. (Also fuck all my friends from when I was in kindergarten- my theory that Alice was Masquerade was somewhat correct.)

Little art comparison, June 2020 -> June 2021...! Blabbing abt drawing under the cut, haha;;

I think the most shocking turn my art has taken is me somehow stepping away from cell shading??? I always soft shade recently... it's kinda not actually soft shading, I'm kinda just gradually building up the colors inkwash-style & not rly blending or anything. I think I'm more fine doing this instead of cell shading now is bc the brush I use on procreate is a little softer than my SAI one? Idk.

Another color difference w SAI and procreate is I kinda was mathematical w palettes in SAI where I'd choose some colors & make sure all the shading/etc came from that palette, but since the eyedrop tool in procreate isn't as good I kinda just go w my gut for coloring... I also kinda mess around w gradient maps and layer types, and fiddle until things look kinda interesting instead of being more technical w colors.... I think it's fine, I kinda like experimenting. :v

I do wish the eyedropper tool was better on procreate tho. 😑 I don't always save my colors in a palette so I end up losing colors since I don't color w an opaque brush...

But yeah idk procreate is fun so far even tho i have no idea how to approach more finished works... i like how easy it is to draw big, I always feel so intimidated by that on SAI that all my doodles are like 1500 pixels by 1500 pixels. Still kinda too intimidated to try to draw a full-size illustration on procreate bc of the layer limit, tho;;
