HUGE thank you to @junebird24 for all her help with the coloring on this one!!

correct me if im wrong but im PRETTY sure that for something to be a proper sequel it needs more than literally just reusing the same world and character models and slightly altering their design or adding an ability (that they got somwhere in between which isnt shown nor elaborated on either while previous abilities or interests/knowledge vanish)

made the mistake of saying that really totk isnt a sequel bc it doesnt build on, nor expand nor elaborate nor continue anything from botw, its the same preset of basic things like ... world and character models and tells an entirely different story utterly disconnected from anything botw, which it not only acts like it never happened (aside from like one dialog which is not enough for me when everyone else has literally forgotten everything and tbh feels more like a reference thats actually a slap and laugh in your face) but often times actively contradicts it, like a different version of the same thing

which is called an alternative universe

half of the reasons why i despise totk is bc i wanted, expected and was TOLD its a sequel when it isnt, can you really blame me for being disappointed and frustrated when i was told its a sequel, which should build on established stuff, to a game and its lore i deeply cared about and then get an alternative universe game that has nothing to do with the one i cared about except wear its face and STILL get told its a sequel even just by simply reusing models

The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing Onia Dhithos - -

"I will pull at my horns and bruise my flesh until I am born anew, my chest is too warm, I spew warm honey where I want muck. tar. I want to bear the teeth that my father and mother bore. These teeth are not sufficient. I want a bite, and I want it to be more than my words. I want to bite. I want to be the Wolf."

I don't often post my non kink related art but I'm tryna get the attention of someone else in the community and am too shy and cringe to reach out so. Here, have this portrait I did of Hanzo Shimada. With my finger. On ibis paint. This took me four hours. Progress for proof below.

[moeblob]

is it alright if you show us your art progress?

Progress is "I stopped drawing noses" and also "I get very lazy very fast so most of my art is simply doodles these days". I tried to just pick art that wasn't overly lazy but wasn't overly complex but man back in 2011-2014 I looked like I was having more fun with art lmao.

That said, it's an immense stress relief to me and has been for years. So the fact it's my hobby is for the best cause even if I'm not producing 'the best' or spending heaps of time on stuff, I get to enjoy the feeling of less stress while drawing and then stress the rest of the day.

(if you meant the art process that's very different and also very disappointing but I am willing to provide that if you want)

So Allegedly Infinite Wealth is 100 hours... not that you can't already spend that long on the games if you really want to, but I'd say it's the first time that could be said to be the base experience rather than a time only hardcore completionists are likely to get.

Yokoyama was talking at length about wanting to make the game worth the price tag since the team is incredibly conscious about the value of the players' time and money. They essentially feel they owe players ten times what they paid, so they're aiming for "an enjoyable 100 hours, but also an unforgettable 100 hours."

If they pull it off, I personally think it'd be 100% worth it and not just a "well other studios are doing it so we can get away with it too" price hike... I'm at least happy to know that's not the intent, and I'm intrigued to see how everything pans out and what the ratio is between story and side content

oh yayaya i saw that article this morning!!! 100 hours is actually so unfathomable to me in terms of an rgg game- i mean y7 was At Minimum around 45~50 hours but when i think of other RPGS that easily dip into 70's and 100's of hours, i'm not too surprised to see LAD start to climb towards those numbers now. it'd be such a jump in rgg's terms tho, so i'm TRULY curious to see where the nearly doubled gameplay hours comes from..

i really appreciate yoko's respect not just to RGGS but also to its customers: they want to make a great product, but they also don't want to sacrifice what they want to do to do that in the process

apparently yelling at your parents for posting a bunch of reactionary shit on facebook about how the student protestors are all pathetic snowflakes because they eat gluten-free food and have blue hair and pronouns actually works sometimes? which is good. but oh my god

Reasons people believe Bruce Wayne is a vampire and his explanations why he’s not (condensed):

- Has to use a parasol and sunglasses whenever he leaves Gotham, claims nocturnal lifestyle caused him to develop highly sensitive eyes and skin intolerant of sunlight.

- Extraordinary ability to slip away unseen, this claim was entirely shrugged off.

-Seems to have an entirely liquid diet, says texture issues make eating solid food not prepared by his butler intolerable.

-Was reported dead only to reappear no less than twice, claims he’s simply very bad at remembering to contact loved ones when he’s leaving for a bit.

- Keeps acquiring children who all exhibit the same bizarre patterns of behavior, simply said quote “like finds like”

- Seemingly superhuman beauty; says that this is due to him, quote, “not being an insecure baby when it comes to wearing makeup” and that, “the standards for men are ridiculously low.”

The public and this reporter remain unconvinced.

Hey!! I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work <3<3

I had been a little down when it came to creating more content or being involved in Zukka side of the fandom but seeing your update reminded me to just have fun. And okay this is going to sound bad but I swear I mean this as a compliment; I thought I was wasting my time working for months and years on the stuff I made, but then I realized your fic series brings me so much joy and I'd never, ever judge you for the amount of effort you put into your writing. Seeing it's actually inspiring, to see that someone holds that much passion and creativity and you are sharing it all for FREE. That a person could take all this time to intricately weave together a story, create memorable OCs, breathe new life and make the ATLA world so much bigger than it ever was in canon.

So thanks for accidentally giving me a kick in the butt to stop being judgy about my own work and making me realize you and every fan creator is AWESOME.

I hope you have a wonderful day, your writing is a blessing.

awwww I wanted to say thank you for sending me this ask! I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there, even on anon, so I think it’s cool you felt confident enough to come here and tell me about how you’re feeling.

I don;t think what you’re saying is bad at all haha, because honestly, I feel the same way. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered why the fuck am I still doing this? What’s the point? Do people even still care? What if it’s not good enough? What if people discover I have no fucking idea what I’m doing? Why am i spending so much of my time and effort doing this?? I mean… the self doubt is super real, and shiiiiiit let me discover one person that feeds into my self doubt and I’m full on spiraling haha. (Be nice to creators damn it! we are doing our damn best lol)

I’m really glad you think my fic is awesome, and if it weren’t people like you reminding me, I probably would have given up a long time ago haha. I do give my fic a lot of effort, and I hope you continue to give your creations the same amount of love and effort! I’m sure you’re amazing, and seriously don’t give up! I care about your creations and if I don’t get to stop neither do you! WOHOOO!!

Thanks for the ask anon sorry it took me so long to answer

AO3 bookmarks are NOT auto-private

I’m making a PSA because so many times now I’ve seen people surprised that ao3 bookmarks aren’t automatically private. Authors and readers can and will see everything you say in the notes, or in the tags, of your bookmarks unless you explicitly tick the box to make them private (as circled in red, bottom left corner below)

I’m absolutely not saying this to have a go at anyone - I’ve had lovely readers, malicious readers, and no-particular-intentions-at-all readers surprised by this.

So, please, if you don’t like a fic and you want to keep a record of that fact (which is valid! not every fic is for every person, and there’s no shame in that of itself), make it a private record. It’s so shoddy to be looking through the bookmarks on your fic and have to see something negative that you can’t do anything about, and it’s so unnecessary when the private function exists.

But, hey, on a brighter note - bookmarks are also a lovely place to look through as an author!! If you write fics, check your bookmarks out, chances are there’ll be something wonderful there that will be that perfect little boost for how you feel about your fic. (Also, if you write for tropes/genres you really like, then if a reader has a bookmark tag, or has been positive about yours in general, then there’s a good chance they have other bookmarks of a similar sort that you might really enjoy reading! It’s often worth going through other people’s bookmarks in that case~)

Thanks for your time, and please reblog to help spread awareness of this mechanic!!

i am once again thinking about how fucked it is that sacrificing like half to three fourths of the ships/crews to save 3 people is considered a paragon option but sacrificing about 75% of your unit to defeat the enemy is renegade. why would sacrificing thousands of people to save 3 be considered “compassionate” or “heroic” while sacrificing 75% of your unit (which is 7-14 people apparently, so like 5-11 people) to ensure you won is considered “ruthless” or “apathetic”

(i know why. its bc the first mass effect game doesnt really seem to have a grip on what it wants its morality to be much more than blue= nice, good and red= bad, mean)

Thank u all for being so niceys abt my little activities cs not to sound lit a whiny bairn but every time I tell my dad anything I've been up to he just immediately tells me the negatives of it and I may be an adult but it still sucks ass every time

[toastsnaffler]

sometimes I wish I was a more interesting + charismatic person just so I could keep conversations going bc I like sharing space with other ppl but they routinely lose all interest and leave once I run out of things to say/start talking abt things that don't concern them :-(
