#in the vault they stay

2023 art summary yaaaay

this is the first one of these i've done in a few years, because it's the first year i didn't lose enough months to lethargy and depression to feel like it wasn't worth filling in. i didn't knock it out of the park every month, but i made something worth showing, and that's an accomplishment to me.

here's to keeping up steam in 2024.

I read the wonderful Gideon The Ninth a few months ago (thank you to the most excellent @friendamedes for the rec <3) and tried my hand at drawing all the necromancers as a character design exercise! it was a lot of fun :)

1 like = 1 kick to my ass so that I can be bullied into finally reading the rest of the series (i really want to! i just have a hard time focusing on books!)

honestly i do think etho is one of the funniest hermits in hermitcraft vault hunters and its at least in part because he's not making videos much, so we mostly see him in the videos of other people. which means that it feels very much like "one day etho was still kind of uncertain how the game worked and living in a pile of shulker boxes and we looked away for a minute and suddenly he's level 70, has an op lucky hit build, one of the most coherent and lovely bases on the entire vault hunters server, and knows more about the game than iskall, how did that happen." like every time we look away from him we look back and he's gone even more insane. it's so funny,

Ok, I recently wrote an essay [here] talking about the definition and duties of civil engineering as well as the ethics because of the brain rot @swordfright gave me with calling Dream Sam’s ultimate engineering project. So, because I actually am a civil engineer I took it upon myself to design the title and summary of quantities sheets just like I do at work for roads but with Dream as the project instead. And in honor of angst day sponsored by @sixteenth-day-event, I figured I’d share it because I feel like it kinda works for the prison of the mind prompt.

“Sam’s “ultimate engineering project” he deemed too damaged like a bumpy road or crumbling building that wasn’t worthy of patching and filling in the cracks or reinforcing, that’s too eroded to be fixed and preserved. So, Sam strived to tear him down to the bedrock so he could remake, remold, and reengineer Dream according to his design for the common safety, public health and well-fair.”

{These are very similar to the actual sheets I make day to day, which I shall not share for the sake of doxing my location, but yea pretty much everything has a significance. Some of it doesn’t necessarily make sense but that was because I was more so taking inventory of what we see in lore (so you know I counted ;) lol)}

It’s been said before but I hate the implication that Tim would just carry around Kryptonite or use it leisurely just because…? It’s something that’s seen a lot in fanon but it doesn’t . Make . Sense.

And for the sake of this post, I’m referring to the fanon use of Tim using Kryptonite whenever it has anything to do with Kon. I have to psychically direct anyone to read SB/robin: worlds finest three #1-2.

He used the K-ring reluctantly as a last-ditch attempt to stop Kon when he was being controlled by Ivy… he wouldn’t be carrying different variations of kryptonite needles, whips, rings, or buttplugs on a random Thursday.

A fact I think many highhorsers (which, love a high horse, love generalizations, love dramatic hyperbole, love a bit of godkilling ambition, do not let me stop you) have underrated is that the gods are not weighing Kill Their Siblings vs Kill Their Children. The “deaths” on menu are wildly different! One is an oblivion, a total absence of being, true death as promised even for a god. Meanwhile the other is fear, yes, and unspeakable pain, but then transmogrification. There’s an afterlife on tap for one group but not the other. If I had to choose between throwing my siblings into the black hole of nothingness that has terrorized us since we first learned what terror was…. or shifting a bunch of our beautiful creations messily from one state of existence to another—

I think I’d make the same choice. It’s not about who’s worth more, it’s that they’re two incomparable types of destruction.

ttpd has plenty of bad lines but personally i don't think shes getting enough hate for "like you were a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy"

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

Do y'all think when Rangi was running around the estate, she had a literal rainbow flying behind her nyancat style? And that's how everyone could tell she was gay?

I’ve seen you discuss AUs before and I think either you talked about c!Disc duo or you reblogged someone else talking about it, but I have an angsty au (that might already exist but idk) that I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on.

So in the prison arc when Tommy gets trapped with Dream , what if instead of Dream killing Tommy he manages to overpower Dream (cuz he’s a bit weaker from malnourishment, etc.) and Tommy kills Dream instead? How do you think that would change the story?

I've definitely talked about c!Discduo before!

hhmmhmhmhmm. In such a world where Tommy could overpower and kill Dream, I think right off the bat, Sam would have an aneurysm.

There's definitely a world where Sam just freaks out and refuses to let him go for ,, way too long. Once people learn he let his prisoner get killed, that would that mean for the prison? His reputation would be in shambles! Lots of directions to take this, depending on what characters and themes you wanted such an AU to focus on.

Regardless, it's inevitable that Punz would revive him. Assuming Tommy gets out relatively soon after, he lets everyone know that He is a Big Man who KILLED The Dream !! Punz hears, and revives him. That essentially skips forward to the prison break without having to involve Quackity and the torture, Ghostbur or Techno/using the favor.

Which is interesting, since enduring the torture is what dictates a lot of Dream's more subtle behavior later on. Heck, he might decide he wasn't in there long enough, who knows. (Though I'm sure he wont miss it, since he started acting out on Day 1)

But from there, Dream gets to decide if he wants to play dead for a while, or appear right away to say "look Im basically immortal, dont even try to kill me, it wont work lol.' Which would effect how other people react, of course.

Overall, i expect he would continue on with The Plan in whatever way he decides suits him best. Tommy will Surely have a heart attack the moment he catches wind of Dream not only still being alive, but running around too. That would probably mirror his spiral in the finale, except he wouldn't have had to deal with the whole ordeal of Wilbur's apology tour and then leaving him, since Ghostbur would be bumbling around instead. So maybe he'd be a bit more stable... ?

This definitely feels like it would be a butterfly effect thing, where later events could change Drastically if you wanted them to.
