Sprut-do you know where goop man is in the current timeline? Have you seen if he still exists? Are you worried he'll find a way to break out and it'll all just repeat again? That's all for now ^-^/

I have a plan to kill it once Poptart is ready... I hope you all trust me when the time comes. The secret? Fire. Fire kills it.

i've had this thing for a little while where i'm like. fuck! a lot of the artists i look up to have really thin, precise lineart. i need to start using thinner lines so i can get the accuracy and detail and realistic, correct anatomy, and it makes you have to get better at colors because the color has to carry the piece more when the lines give them more space between, and it's made me a lot more critical with my work because i instinctively go for big thick linework, and my usual strokes look sloppy and disconnected when i use thin lines.

and then i realized it was also making me miserable and not want to work on anything, which was really getting in the way of doing art in the first place. so i cranked that brush size back up and it just feels good and easy and flowing again, and like. yknow. there's working towards improvement and then there's stalling yourself out because you're too focused on arbitrary measures. i think i'm gonna be happy with my thick lines for a bit.

Concept: game that superficially resembles a metroidvania, but it's actually a Monkey Island style inventory puzzler. Each area basically functions as an escape room in precision puzzle-platformer format, and contains an eccentric collection of freely toggleable mobility upgrades which interact with the current area's gimmick in unexpected ways – the challenge being not only to obtain the upgrades, but to figure out which exact combination of upgrades needs to be enabled to overcome each obstacle. As you complete each area, some unlikely series of events contrives to take away most of your upgrades, thereby leaving you with a (mostly) clean inventory for the next area.

a perfect summary of xB’s content is from his latest video where xB is using Keralis as a guinea pig to avoid dying to a trap, a trap which he detected due to being stupidly analytical and cautious, and then after, argues with Keralis about the morality of doing that and then says he wants a telescope to spy on Keralis wearing a mankini

Do you have any specific advice for insuring a sculpture, akin to the general size and shape of what you make, doesn’t explode in the kiln? Your art is honestly amazing and has inspired me to try and get back into 3D art (I suck at it). I’m very worried about a project exploding from trapped air. Thank you for your time.

i haven't really had problems with stuff exploding in the kiln myself (save some pit fires which are inherently hard to control haha) i just make sure my pieces are super dry before they go into the kiln. from what i understand, the trapped air causing explosions thing is a bit of a misunderstanding anyway - water in clay is what's really the problem. so giving closed forms holes for airflow and making sure no part of your piece is too thick to ensure it dries well is the goal! if your pieces are as dry as they can be before firing them, you should be good

Do you have any Coronabeth Worsetwin thoughts about Abigail's reaction to finding out Ianthe become a Lyctor in HtN ("Blast. It should have been Coronabeth. Ianthe never was quite the thing")? I love Abigail but ngl I am also a Corona Worsetwin truther in part because I would find it much more satisfying for one of the series' designated Rational Moral Adults to be categorically wrong about Corona.

OH I love this! I hadn't really thought out it until now, but my first reaction is that it might have been just the general "Ugh, yuck, Ianthe?" vibe that she seems to evoke, since she's very much unpleasant on main. But when thinking about it more in-depth, I think Abigail's perception of WHY Corona would be more suited to Lyctorhood depends on which qualities Abigail thinks a Lyctor should possess that Ianthe lacks.

One thing about Abigail in HtN is that she is as much of an atheist as you can get in TLT, but also she seems to have a sort of romanticised view of John (calling him "the Kindly Emperor", "I've longed my whole life to give him my findings") and I wonder if this extends to her conception of Lyctorhood as a sort of state of idyllic quest for knowledge — "the beauty of necromantic mysteries" as Harrow puts it. She's also the leader of a House known for its diplomacy, influence, and not-so-subtle expansionistic ambitions.

So, is she thinking about Corona's diplomatic skills? Her political knowledge? Or — because at this point she still believes Coronabeth is also a necromancer — is she thinking that Corona was the better necromancer than Ianthe, as it was widely speculated?

Going wildly off into headcanon land, we know Abigail has anti-Cohort sympathies (as per Judith's files) and I wonder if that plays a part. We know that Corona regards the Houses's expansionistic strategy as inefficient, but I don't think it's something Abigail would know. Maybe she just thinks Corona would be able to assert authority over the Cohort better? (One of my pet speculations is that there's some antagonism between the Cohort and the Lyctors, and if that's actually a thing Abigail could be aware of it.)

I think it's a combination of Corona's people skill, her personal experience with both twins, and the fact that Ianthe actively puts off everyone she meets.

(If anyone has any opinions about Abigail here PLS feel free to add, I too love her but she's one of the hardest characters to figure out for me)

Personally, a solid 40% of why I am a Corona Worsetwin truther is because I think it's hot. The rest is her everything in NtN / AYU from the threatening suicide to statecraft scheming, with a smattering of that one Taz interview <3 I'm excited to see her wreck havoc in AtN.

"All the love that we had / And the love that we hide / Who will bury us / When we die?"

After finishing the more complex artworks (that I want to post properly tomorrow) the impostor syndrome nagged at my brain and AGH. SO! I did these to shake that feeling and be proud of my chicken-scratched doodles and I ENJOYED IT A TON! Even to the point of doing all the lettering/handwriting on the go using lyrics from "Opportunities" by Pet Shop Boys ♥.

This creature has been smooched on her face and stuffed full of snacks <3

We qualified each rally obedience run (despite large areas requiring handler improvement <3) and finished the weekend with a 97, 84, and 97. This baby dog now has her Rally Advanced title!

(All rosettes were default as we were the only ones in our class.)
