#its a cool game though

[cockroachparty]

currently playing infinity nikki for the first time (as well as my first time playing any gacha game) and i am. so perplexed by this girl.

she is nonconsensually ripped from her home and sucked into some other universe. the annoying rat is taken with her and they end up in some dark souls esque world. she now has the powers of levitation (?!) and shooting objects from her hand (?!) that can only harm bad guys and completely miss everything else in the environment. are these powers conscious of who it can hit or does nikki just have really good aim? after she meets some lady who has been chained to the ceiling for who knows how many years, a "heart" of some sort is forced into nikki's chest which gives her weird pains (no shit) from time to time when she witnesses emotional or "whimsical" displays.

anyway, im traversing this new land, in shock that this poor girl opened a simple wardrobe and is now in what appears to be some alternate universe where clothes have magic powers. if that were me, i'd be freaking out and wondering where the hell i am, what planet im on, and if im dreaming

nikki, though?

nikki is having the time of her life

i mean, shes casually introducing herself to dada and giovanni like shes just some girl from the next town over; no! youre not supposed to be here!! youre essentially an alien and youre fooling everybody!!

this girl is catwalking miraland like stuff like this happens to her ALL. THE. TIME.

which, if it does...

is nikki ok??? should she be put down???

it is now a continual law that I will forget about an art piece for what feels like ages then manage to finish it in an hour anyway :3

Final manifestations for Book 7?

I'm trying REALLY hard not to build up any solid expectations, because I wanna go in ~fresh~! they're already so far away from anything I thought would happen (not in a bad way, I'm just accepting that I'm on Miss Yana's Wild Ride at this point and we're seeing this thing through 'til the end, by gum). so it's nothing too major, but:

they've been handing new crying expressions out like candy lately, I want to see some delicious Malleus tears.

honestly I want everyone to cry buckets. their tears sustain me. the more Silver angst specifically I get the happier I am.

SILVER!!!! 👏 VANROUGE!!!! 👏

just let him have this. the poor boy's been through so much. let him have his big "I'm proud of you, son" moment with Lilia.

I'm 100% expecting Grim's arc (and probably whatever's going on with Crowley) to be its own episode, but a nice hook to leave us hanging on would be good!

a nice hook though, please, I don't think I can take another "Grim is attacking us! now wait eight months to find out what happens :)" cliffhanger...

some Meleanor? as a treat? just a little bit, a tiny quick flashback or something, please Twst I just, I just want to see her again. let her have a little ghost cameo like Dawnathan Knight got. Lilia and his kids are all having their big group hug or whatever and she can gently fade in to be all like

(turning asks off until I'm done playing, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE Y'ALL)

I think Deceptibee AU fans should consider the hilarious potential of a Starscream and Bee dynamic in this kind of situation—

One detail I loved about isat was that once you progressed through enough of the game, the number of loops would start to skip over each other. At one point I skipped from Loop 77 to 82, and I was staring at the screen in shock because. Five whole loops??? The implications of never quite knowing or remembering what happens in those missing loops are terrifying. It's a small detail but it adds so much to the player's immersion. We're six feet deep into Siffrin's mindset, and they've BEEN forgetting things. With the loops skipping over one another in random increments and having that split-second disorientation (did the loops just skip or are you misremembering?).... truly the Siffrin Experience.

when they moved in together Andrew was all uncaring and uninterested, giving neil the task of buying furniture if he wanted more than a bed

only for him to drive Neil to the store and shoot him disapproving glances at every wrong pick, eyes hard enough that Neil would give up on the orange sofa, put back the weird vase, cancel the order of Palmetto Foxes blanket. that's also how he forgot all about the idea of exy themed products and decorations

Neil would see right through the illusion of choice pretty quick, alternating between picking the most outrageous things to win Andrew's glare (its a reward for him) and running his hands over the options of towels until Andrew's frown softened as Neil's hand stopped in the black one, then grab it with a found little smile

neil: I thought you didn't care

andrew: i dont. i just know you don't really want this shade of brown for our cabinets

neil: like i didn't like the color of the fridge

andrew: yeah

if there is one thing I love most about Fallen London, then it's how strong everyone's OC-game is lol

so of course I spent the last few days rummaging through the FL-OC-tags, unavoidably falling for all the incredible designs and characters - so of course, of course I had to draw some uwu

@torabdos - Anfroys wet-mouse charme has truly entranced me (and I mean this in the best way possible)

@thevioletscout - I could never say no to a character-design with green accent-colours, Emery is just so fashionable, all of their outfits are soo cool?!

@val-pine - Valerie feels like the coolest stormy-eyed pirate-lady to me, I love the contrast of her red hair to all the blue and clay-grey colours of the rest of her design :D

There's this one stream from June where Hbomberguy plays Tactical Brach Wizards and chats with Tom Francis (the game's creator, writer and developer), and the whole thing is really interesting! They talk mostly about the development of the game and some of what Tom says is already on the Developer's Comment in the special edition, BUT there are some lore things/fun details that I found interesting:

Being a wizard in this world is regarded more or less the same way as being a doctor in ours ("It's impressive, but no one's like, 'oh my god, can i get an autograph'")

Jen's mom is an arcanist

Bank's heart "canonically isn't pounding" in the missions because "she's used to life and death situations"

Banks "cares about who lives and dies"

Tom mentions that Banks doesn't have as good of a relationship with the rest of the team, and that her and Jen's relationship is "hot and cold" (LMAO)

Darrell's hiding spots were all basically John Roberts' idea (the game's sole artist)

The world of Tactical Breach Wizards (as in, the geography and literal placement of countries) intentionally does not look like the real world. "The DSR resembles the UK and America in some ways", but isn't really a 1 to 1 so "they don't map to real clichés and dynamics of the world".

wip posting just to get something out there, and it's def a mixed bag!! the only thing more inconsistent than my posting schedule is my art style RIP

Sorry I forgot Hanneman suggested Byleth undress after they show up with a different hair color. And I miss Hanneman. And also while swapping between Houses and Hopes and seeing Hanneman pop up to help in a Hopes paralogue is just devastating since he doesn't ever actually join you at all and I am denied my old man rights.

So I had to draw this. Thank you for understanding.

Time to break my silence.

I wish "Abram" wasn't such an old man's name. Andrew calling Neil "Abram" in FF should leave me speechless but it... it just makes my CRINGE SO BAD I HATE IT😭😭😭😭
