Got really captured by Nunnally's royal au and the associated world building so yes there comes the crown. Her crown. Though perhaps chess would be better?

#ooc #but that doesn't mean i have forgotten #about her other verses #just being slow in general #work's kind of rough #and will be travelling soon #for work #again #but will try to be here #as much as i can

Actually I think it's severely underrated how fucking funny ejm Brian has the potential to be when there is no actual end. When he's just living on the ship on the day to day between stories and the like. Ends are so, so subjective when there are no wars or really even active society. Stuff like

Brian on his way to the kitchen to grab smth to feed the octokittens -> Jonny and Tim are arguing in front of the door -> he knows from experience that interrupting or trying to get by would only mean getting himself dragged into it -> the octokittens make (most) everyone happy and deserve to be fed food that won't immediately kill them -> conclusion: shoot both Jonny and Tim before they notice him so he can walk over their corpses to the fridge and get the octokittens food

#drumbot brian #the mechanisms #he lives rent free in my head can u tell?#I need 2 write some shenanigans of Brian being a robot in general too #More of too many processing trees and thoughts and processors not having a good time to his thoughts just simplify and slow a bit

gen loss dump part 2 :]

i have a gen loss playlist so the last two was me hitting randomize and drawing a pic based on the song before it finished. the second one technically isn’t that cause charlie’s inferno isn’t on apple music cause they hate me so it’s way more of the song out of spite because they wouldn’t give it to me.

#spotify is prolly better (definitely is for finding playlists i use spotify to find playlists still and then add those songs to my own lmao #but dad pays for a family apple music subscription and free music streaming is infinitely better then paying for my own spotify #also my wound reference i feel like i let him off easy from the seven foot tall wire security monster #but idk this was drawn a year ago idk what i was doing #like i agree w the vest just being REALLLL bad bruising and internal stuff but i feel like he had wayyyy more open area besides that to get #fucked up besides just his arms #but i guess since the wire monster also got turned off by the button since it didn’t immediately go at ranboo next then maybe that’s still #reasonable idk #generation loss #generation loss fanart #ranboo fanart #continuing my not spamming tags trend so even though i bc puls have tagged all three of them im not gonna #still posting this primarily for me and for everyone else second #OH THE OUTFITS ARE FROM MY PIN BOARDS #I MAKE OUTFIT BOARDS FOR EVERYTHING ITS SO FUN #LIKE EVERY FANDOM IVE POSTED HERE HAS ONE #ITS BAD #and then irl i wear sweats and t shirt lmao #i found mouse trap game board earrings #i spend too much time on those finding highly specific bullshit #the jrwi one is especially cringe cause i have a different section for all of the what ifs #and that shit lasted one (1) episode #also the full color drawing i’m so >:| about it #i need to practice coloring sooooo badly but i always get frustrated w it #i need to slow tf down idk #but thats also from nearly a year ago so

i’m realizing that one of my favorite ways to create a character is by first establishing a major flaw of theirs and then examining how that will inevitably fuck them up a bit. then fleshing them out from there

#i’m realizing that’s how i created like. the majority of the characters i rp with LMAOOO i would start with flaws i think would be #interesting to examine in whatever story they’re in !!!!!!!! and then i’d build out positive traits/backstory in order to flesh them out #but starting with that major flaw really helps me build their character i’m realizing . i’m doing it with the new rp oc i’m trying to make #like for sae (after deciding she’s a fisherman) i wanted her to deal with impatience. sadie is self centered + controlling. erin is fake af #and even for dnd characters i’ve played like immian is a hermit and naive while tinni is SCARED as FUCK!#i really honestly believe flaws are greatttt for your characters story. like just in general really good for a guy to have negative traits #that will impact the narrative in a way that almost feels inevitable and thus force them to confront it OR succumb to it #so instead of starting with going Oh Well Sae is Nice and working from there i’m able to say oh sae is actually pretty hot headed deep down #which allows me to build more traits based off of that… she’s resilient bc she doesn’t want to BE hot headed. stubborn as fuck #wise bc she wants to grow. slow talking bc of her afi which connects to her backstory which connects to being hot headed #guys is this anything at all. is this microphone on. it’s 2am #lee chat

i was thinking about your dirk and hal poll and i want to mention that i think your concept for ink and iron where dirk creates hal from his reflection by enchanting a mirror is so cool 😌

thank you! hal's predicament and purpose within the canon narrative is so fascinating and i felt it was really important to find a way to explore what i find most interesting with him. i can't take full credit for the concept though i took inspiration from a few placees (one of my friends pitched the idea of the mirror accidentally dumping him onto jake's doorstop for example) but overall i think the idea is very fun and i'm really excited to write more hal stuff!!! also i'm going to take the opportunity to share this oldish doodle i found:

the mispelling of angel as angle was NOT intentional (<- dyslexia haver) but it probably explains a lot. he's pointy

#obviously an AU is going to be different from canon #but i like AUs specifically *because* i have a lot of fun trying to translate canon ideas into another setting or genre in general #in this case its a riff on the fairy tale magic mirror #hal is still an experiment gone wrong/artificial being created to serve a purpose trapped in a non-physical form and denied personhood #as well as being an extension of dirk's selfhood and very literal expression of his self image #this time with extra gender problems as per my original intentions for the fic. which now feel more than a bit heavy handed but whatever #point is hal gets to play up the trapped demon/spirit/almost genie-esque angle isntead of the artificial intelligence schtick in canon #which i am having a lot of fun writing!#he is also a very important plot device. multitalented 💕#for anyone wondering i&i is NOT an abandoned project its just huge and whipping it into shape is slow going #i've taken breaks to work on other stuff too #ink and iron #i guess that's a tag i should start using #even though i'm not too happy with the title still. lmao

lately ive been thinking about the contrast going on in Early Lime where hes like "tbh im pretty sure i could have any girl i wanted including mochi i mean i guess if she wanted we could give it a shot one day but i dont really care lol" and then very easily becoming completely unhinged for her the second he gets a tinge of romantic affection

#lime: yeah mochis not a huge deal i mean were friends #af (after affection) lime: *needs to dunk his head in the sink at least once a week trying to snap himself out of thinking about her*#anyway. its been a while since them i miss them #my recent development is taking away limes mochi cuddle time #it makes more sense for the slow burn if he cant cuddle with her whenever he wants #starve him #lime: (why would i like her shes so plain shouldnt i be with like some supermodel or something ??)#lime: (the kind of person everyone wants but cant have??)#also lime when mochi smiles at him: (i want to kiss the shit out of you)#i think there something about limes family where being a goldwood means being expected to be a cut above #where its ingrained they should only be/settle for the best of the best #so lime catching feelings for this (pre-reveal) very normal and plain forgettable girl that no one else seems to give a shit about..#...is a struggle for him #tiramisu thinks its laughable because the goldwoods arent part of the magic community #she thinks its hilarious how they are lowkey obsessed with being successful and top-notch when they literally have no idea whats going on #i dont think the goldwoods are even especially rich #maybe its just one of those (parents being hard on you so you can have a better life than they did) kind of things #but they are known to be a well-connected and beautiful family #any goldwood you meet i the prettiest person youve ever seen #i wonder if they were disappointed or proud of lime when they found out he joined the capitol guard #his sister became a dentist #maybe it was one of those (why would you join the military...youre going to struggle...)#and then he tells them his paycheck and all of a sudden theyre like (we're so proud!!!)#(the capitol guard in general has pretty normal pay but the m-34th gets way more as a specialized unit)

i feel nothing but neverending sympathy for basically everyone involved with Homestuck Beyond Canon. if you put me in a situation where a major, controversial plot point of my story was revealed through a fan-contest YEARS before it was actually going to be put into motion, and then i had to deal with people whinging and whining and complaining about it non-stop for YEARS despite the fact that it hasn't actually happened yet and they have no idea what i'm actually going to do with that plot point, i'd kill everyone in the room and then myself.

it's one thing to not like where the story's gone thus far, to be disinterested in post-canon, etc etc etc. totally fair. but holy shit can Homestuck fans realize that complaining about plot beats that HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET is fucking stupid??? you have no idea what's going to happen! you don't! you don't know how this story is going to go! you have your headcanons and theories and your wish-list of shit but you don't know the future and acting like you do is fucking stupid!!!! either let the story be told and save your bitching for when you actually HAVE something to bitch about, or just stop reading and posting about the comic you don't like!!!!!!!!

#text.post #homestuck #homestuck beyond canon #june egbert #this was specifically written about june but like #all of HS:BC in general has this issue with its fans #fuckin. we have no idea how any of these things are going to pay off #that's why we wait and see how they pay off #if your complaint is that it's poorly-paced and the comic so far JUST feels like set-up? that's totally fair!#but you're still complaining about an actively-updating story not being finished #“oh bluh bluh they made rose super cruel and selfish” YEAH THAT'S THE POINT #THAT'S THE STORY THEY ARE TELLING. AND THEY ARE NOT DONE TELLING IT YET.#zero-conflict weekly-update slow-burn fanfic where all the characters know fluent therapy-speak has rotted so many minds

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best #And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own #But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all #Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all #Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD #random rambles #FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

#today i thought about this a lot because #it was a veryyyy bad day noise wise #it goes up and down even if im generally easily disturbed by noise #but sometimes i feel more ok with it and can cope somewhat #but some days it is just extra bad and it is physically painful and im constantly stressed #today was one of those days where i almost just broke down and started screaming and crying #i managed not to. but god my upper body hurts a lot bc i get so tense and i cannot relax #all the CONSTANT noise is so painful lol #so yes i thought about it a lot today bc i was doing bad and i realized.. even if i already know #how like.. amazing it is that i can feel such a way .. and that in this existence a safe space for me does exist #his voice just does smth to me on metaphysical (is that the word?) and undescribable levels. it just /reaches/ me #it's so cool that i have physical reactions to just hearing the sound of his voice? i feel my heartbeat slow and my body relaxes and im like #idk how to explain but i feel soothed to my bones and my soul feels cradled. it's like his voice just erases everything else #i just think that is so amazing? like how can that be? how can i experience all of this inside of my existence?#im just in awe of how that can work. how this person's voice has such effects on my being. how it makes my hyper stressed body just feel #okay and calm and soft when i exist in the space of hearing his voice..#maybe i sound crazy :$ .. but thats just how i feel. like today when i was on a walk..#and omg it was noise overload it was crazy i felt my entire neck and throat and shoulders hurt so bad and i wanted to scream and rip my #hair out. i just kept imagining his voice and wanting to just be in that space and soothed state my body enters his voice alone puts me in #im not sure if thats weird or bad of me.. :c but thats just what happens!!! and selfishly i crave it!! i'd never be demanding or forceful #i have more than i couldve ever dreamed or asked for. i can listen and breathe and be ok. and i can imagine his voice too..#soft fluffy cloud that envelopes me.. maybe i *am* crazy or too intense but its just the truth #and ig what im trying to say it is that im infinitely thankful & grateful for this. that i can have felt this. & know it exists like wow??

I’m in a phase of perceiving Hallow that I’m calling the “geriatric baby” phase. I’ve now had Hallow longer than I had Hank or Jackalope and I can tell that my relatively brief time with them seriously altered my subconscious expectations of what time I think I will have with Hallow. I know she’s a very young dog- she’s just now the age that Hank and Jack were when I met them- but she also feels ancient to me.

The feeling will pass, probably. It’s just weird right now.

#this also makes me so curious of what life was like for Hank and Jack before I had them because wow three years can feel like a lifetime #in fact it was half of theirs!#I think this feeling is intensified by the fact that in the last six months hallow has really… felt more mature #I wouldn’t say she’s slowed down as much as her energy is just directed now #she’s not a serious dog but she plays less and is generally more serious about some things #and I know it’s a very normal part of her being an adult dog #but the weird part of my brain is telling me ‘it’s because you’re at your time limit with her and she’s old now!’#it’s very silly

You ever watch something that you just KNOW future scholars are gonna be studying because it perfectly captures the zeitgeist of the time in which it was made? The last two episodes of Puppet History season 5 are gonna be written about in so many papers on like “early 21st century climate anxiety” and “artistic responses to the 2020s pandemic”.

#puppet history #watcher #Like the rage of the hologram who wants to be real #the meteor just wanting a rest but being afraid to stop #the older generation in capable of understanding what’s happening Due to a lack of context #all great essay topics for future students #slow clap for Shane and the watcher folk

what is your favorite book? (sorry i saw someone mention that they got dante’s inferno because of trt so i was curious!)

I saw this and my brain immediately became a discord screen as all my favorite books got stirred up, just

THIS IS SO HARD, I HAVE SO MANY, IT CHANGES BY MOOD AND SEASON, fuck, ok, ok I can do this. *whispers to the books* only three of you

FIRST.

Fucking

DRESDEN FILES.

Specifically book 7, Dead Beat.

Urban Fantasy. Has a zombie t rex in one. Snarky investigative protagonist (TRT inspo hello). Lorge dog. Pop culture references. All the titles are PUNS. Cool mythology. MAGIC. BADASS LONG COATS. Is the first book really rough? Yes. Very. But damn I stuck with it and the series took off. I literally have an autographed copy that I got Jim Butcher to sign with, 'Harry loves you'.

SECOND.

Lord of the Rings my beloved.

I do not need to describe it. It is perfection. I have reread it every year since I was 11. GENIUS.

THIRD.

Currently? Dueling for third is Dante's Inferno and Pride and Prejudice since I read them both again in the past year. P&P is my favorite slow burn out there, THE DEFINITION OF SLOW BURN ENEMIES TO LOVERS, and the CHEMISTRY but also social context? The BANTER??? While Dante's Inferno is, in my mind, the most hilarious, gorgeously written, petty bit of self-insert published AU fanfiction ever created. Dude straight up went 'in my AU hell is an onion and the dead philosophers and poets I idolize love me and the Popes I hated are there ha ha get FUCKED, and also my poetry for it will be so gorgeous it becomes a classic and you'll almost miss that I snuck a fart joke in right here' (yes there is a fart joke - a demon signals to his lil army to move on by, roughly translated, 'making a trumpet of his ass') and I love him for that.

Point being Dante is up there so having a story where I can weave references in is AMAZING

#pasta loves books #anyone who's read TRT and Dresden Files will probably note a sometimes similar vibe #and Marcone in that series was inspiration for Ciro #lord of the rings is a loooong time love of mine and is one reason i feel comfortable not describing much about a character's looks #it worked great for Tolkien!#and lastly Pride and Prejudice #which fostered my love of slow burns and character development until they are ready for each other #and Dante's Inferno which I just love in general #if you're ever looking for a good translation I really like Dorothy L Sayer's translation! it has great notes so you know #when Dante is being petty 🤣

#jane journals #silly #self insert talk #💙 oh captain my captain 💙#SPONGEBOB ABOUT TO GET HIT BY ICE CREAM TRUCK VOICE: I'M BEING DRAMATIC!!!!#i dont think it was shit and im not actually THAT disappointed with it #even if there WAS a severe lack of my husband = _ =#but after talking about it with my partner and best friend for a while i gotta say im not....exactly THRILLED either #this is probably nitpicking and i feel like they were probably maybe just on a time crunch??#but it wasnt as much as i expected. in general.#like idk i accepted that a lot of it was rly slow cause i thought it was building UP to something really really big!!#and i DID like a lot of parts of the finale!! it just wasnt as BIG as i was hoping #the payoff just wasnt as good as i was hoping for ig #and thats not to say i wanted carnage and heartbreak #idk ill tag this w spoiler tags but im FINE with it ending happily and the batch being free to explore domesticity #it just DIDNT EVEN LINGER ON /THAT/ FOR THAT LONG THEYRE JUST KINDA LIKE HERE #idk i could go on but i dont wanna sound like im just complaining for the sake of complaining #i just know how good it COULD have been #tbb spoilers #the bad batch spoilers

it is kind of funny writing commentary in fics about the differences between Cal and Cere's fighting styles when Cal's fighting style is....technically dependent on how good of a gamer you are and I am a Bad gamer XD 'Cal over-relies on a few key practiced moves, while Cere is more fluid, natural' yeah because there was actual fight choreography involved in Cere's fight in Fallen Order, and not just me button-mashing and doing the same thing over and over in the hopes it actually works this time XD

like I think it works thematically and idk this paragraph might end up getting cut, but it is just kind of funny to be like, trying to reflect on canon and how to describe it and then having to be like 'well…that might be on me...'

#my poor skills should not reflect on Cal...but in this case they do haha #sorry Cal my bad #it works tho so I'm keeping the description (for now)#writing problems #specifically fallen order writing problems #also i mean i know you briefly play from Cere's POV in survivor so I'd probably have the same button mashing style problem XD #but i think it does work at least with the comparison in Fallen Order between Cere fighting at the end and player-as-Cal #and generally the difference between someone who might be out of practice but was a master and a half-trained teenager #but yeah file this alongside that post i made years ago like #'i've had cal for five minutes and if anyone hurt him...' but the one hurting him is me being bad at video games #and falling off of things #i think i am improving someone i have SOME strategy now i'm not just slowing and then striking until they un-slow rinse and repeat
