just saying it now and i'll keep saying it until s5 comes out. but no matter what leaks we get (even if we'll eventually get something we can confirm as most likely correct) we still won't know what'll actually happen in s5 for sure in any way
for reference, one of the "correct" s4 leaks was Mike telling El he loves her in a romantic monologue. what the leak failed to mention, however, was that El was in a life or death situation, unresponsive while being chocked to death by Vecna, and that Mike was saying anything and everything he could think of like how he loved her since he saw her for the first time all while Will, Jonathan, and Argyle are standing right next to them
according to the leak it was a big dramatic romantic scene. what we got was the dingy badly lit pizzeria freezer and Mike almost crying thinking El was dying while telling provable lies
and that's just how leaks WORK. Always. either because the leaker doesn't have all the information, or because the scripts are intentionally vague, or even because the leaker only remembers certain plot threads well and is balling on the others (you also never have unbiased leakers. someone who doesn't know the show at all is going to leave important context out bc they don't realize it's relevant. but a leaker who favours a certain ship is going to (maybe even subconsciously) interpret scenes in that ships favour, and so on)
we could get a potential leak for s5 that for example says "Max dies in the void" but then what ends up happening in the show is she fades into the void or something and then wakes up in her irl body in the hospital in the next scene. the leak "Will kills El" could be about Will pulverizing her in monopoly (hyperbole), and "Mike and Lucas have a horrible fight" could be a 10 second spat followed by a scene of them joking together. you get the gist
essentially, even the leaks that ended up being "correct" in hindsight still only gave you about 20% of the plot while leaving out the most crucial bits
...what i'm saying is stop putting so much weight on leaks. even if we reach a point where we start getting some we can be pretty sure of. they'll still get shit so insanely wrong it'll be Painful post s5

It's interesting to feel the grey malaise of winter trying to drag you down, and know (know) that the answer is to get out of your apartment and talk to some human people, but also absolutely hate the idea so much. so. very much.

material preview version is very cute also :)
i struggled with the lighting on this one so badly, but it turned out alright in the end.
i actually started it last year for new years 2023 but never got around to finishing it, hence no progress pictures this time sadly lol. i do have a very low-res, first draft, test gif though

FOREWARNING FOR GROSS-OUT SKIN CLOSEUP SHIT DON'T YELL AT ME FOR SHOWING YOU has anyone else gotten this really weird phenomenon on youtube. I swear every algorithm on every website is actively and purposely worse now. Where you'll be scrolling through vids after searching for something (I was looking at crochet stuff) and SANDWICHED IN THE MIDDLE OF ACTUAL SEARCH RESULTS... YOU KNOW. LIKE THINGS RELEVANT TO THE KEYWORDS I TYPED
are a couple of completely out of left field SHOCK VALUE VIDS. like to intentionally be alarming. drama vids and things you're enticed to click on bc they're upsetting, and deep deep closeups on zits. what the fuck is going on. Sandwiched between videos about GRANNY SQUARES. crack? is it crack we're smoking????

>> start the adventure! <<
while starstruck makes her merry way to the @kirbyoctournament, why not keep her company with some questions?
for the next month, as propaganda for the tourney, dream land's favourite little anxious amnesiac will be taking asks directly!
couple of little notes, suggestions, and rules!
though this is hopefully obvious, i don't guarantee i'll get to every ask or interaction! i'll do the best i can, but if i don't make it to yours, it's nothing personal!
where possible these will be answered "in character" from tourney!starstruck, though you can still ask me tournament related things too! this is my first time trying "in character" asks, but i want to make one thing really clear: please no text rp. makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
for plot consistency, this is set during her Present Timeline, and she knows as much about her own backstory as the average reader. has no idea who This Guy is. she has similarly not yet encountered the star spears or any weapon like them.
questions can come from ocs, especially if they're in the tournament! i may not draw your oc in the response though. i probably won't respond to any "how are you" generic type deals because those will get hard to answer pretty much immediately. i am hoping to find some fun personality combos to riff off, so if you have an interesting interaction idea for our ocs, feel free to share!
starstruck is Technically Romancable and OCs who are at least 25+ are totally welcome to make an attempt to flirt with her (pspsps evil lesbians especially if you're out there come say hi. any and all wings havers also), but remember she is dense as a pile of bricks. also please no nsfw.
