『Celeste』 Madeline's Hair

"The character sprite is drawn without her hair, and then we add it in afterwards in real time. The hair is a list of about 5 or 6 points that follow each other with an offset and maximum distance, with the first point being anchored to her head. Each point just draws a simple circle, reducing in size the further away it is.

The offsets of each point are usually down + slightly away from her (ex. -0.5, 2.0), so that in general they rest hanging downwards, however the offsets can be changed depending on the environment (ex. when there's wind the offsets are more like (-1, 0) so it doesn't fall).

There's also a few different frames of her bangs / top of her hair that covers up where this list of points actually meets her head. Each animation has metadata associated with it on where to render the hair, so they match up with the animation."

Lady Danielle Gotham, nee Phantom

Danny is the Reluctant King Phantom, Essence of Duality, Bringer of Balance, Protector of the Innocent, Victorious Over Plant and Weather Alike, etc. etc.

Dan(te) is the Prince, Cautioning Message, Promonition of Destruction, Wrathful Truth, Experienced Overlord and Conquest, Obsessions Deprived Newly Reborn, etc. etc.

Dani(elle/Ellie) is the Wandering Princess, Widespread Sights, Mirror Turned Painting, and now, most recently, Lady Gotham.

Let's explain.

Ellie has wandered much of their home dimension by now, and even with the Infinite Realms, wants to see an alternate Earth. Clockwork, the doting Grandpa he is, agrees, opening a portal. He says that she can do anything she wants, as long as she doesn't outright obliterate that version. The rest of them see her off, and in she goes.

The first thing she sees is a grave. Though she can't read it, as a woman in black could've been white, so long ago stands in front of it. The woman turns around, and she is

beautiful, shattered, solemn, joyful, mourning, celebrating, ominous, comforting, barely a newly minted town, an old weathered city, and

Tired. So tired. So much has happened, good and bad. She wants to watch her knights grow, to see them flourish. But even a sentient city cannot stay. Too much has changed from before. Too many magics. She has decks of curses, played or kept in her hand, but it is too much. She must reform.

Ellie is approached, and they talk. She's exploring, and this place seems really nice. A bit morbid, perhaps, but nice. Lady Gotham sees potential.

Over a few months they talk, and Lady Gotham gives not only the title, but the very essence of her beloved city to Ellie. She may not reform, and be dispersed. Or she will. But she wants someone to look after it. And Ellie can do that. She's seen so many people and places, understands how complicated it can be, and has a good relationship to the Reluctant King.

Ellie accepts. She's sad to see Lady Gotham go, but knows that nothing can forever. So she decides to check up on Lady Gotham's (who she now is) knights. And those two guys in the sewers. And the other with the bar and birds. And that woman in the catsuit and the assassin one too. All of them, actually. Invisibly, of course. Wouldn't want to do anything stupid.

She also got a cool new outfit! (Created by the essence of Gotham and herself, not that she knows that.) It feels so natural to have it on as she watches. The people she's watching, on the other hand, can feel it. The city's gaze.

Ellie has opinions. I mean, look at Mister Riding Hood! Dirtiest 'plasm she's seen! And the Bat! So many kids! Sewer dudes are actually pretty cool. Fun to hang out with. She's taken to using TVs supplied by Technus and Tucker that she's fed some ecto-essence into to let her watch them. And she's also had small picnics with some of the spirits residing there.

One day, as she's "birdwatching", or just going about her business, they see her. She doesn't notice.

i have something to share! look at me go!!

it's from hoa eddie and, oh boy, she's looking amazing right now if i do say so myself, teehee

Maddie shakes her head. “How could you not know how Evan feels? He doesn’t hide it. You don’t, either.”  He shrugs, laughs pitifully, and says, “The sun shines everyday, even when it’s cloudy,” because Buck’s love is unconditional and steady like that bright star in the sky, even when Eddie can’t see it.  Sometimes, Eddie thinks Buck is a shard that’s broken off just for him.  Her face softens. “Oh, Eddie. You boys are so ridiculous.” She laughs, but it’s not unkind. “It’s going to be okay, you know? If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that there’s nothing that can going to keep you and Buck away from each other for long.”

first line tag game

Rules: post the first line(s) of your 10 most recent WIPs

thanks @daisyishedwig for the tag!

1. Most people Blaine knows would describe Sebastian as frustrating. He thinks he’s starting to get it.

you’re my best friend and i love you [s4 au]

2. nickstake: fuck marry kill finn hudson, quinn fabray, rachel berry

ring ring, it’s your worst nightmare [chat fic]

3. The last letter he gets is a suicide note.

erase my name from this damned history [childhood friends au]

4. There’s always some twist when it comes to Sebastian.

it’s never just ‘just’ [working title] [songfic]

5. Sebastian realizes that Blaine /gets/ him when he hasn’t slept in two days and Blaine’s the only one to have noticed

to know is to love [standard sad bullshit turned seblaine week work, actually that applies to a lot of these]

6. This scene’s so familiar it’s practically a memory—the wounds, the yelling, the tears.

men, they’ll drive you away [maddie buckley gets the acedisgrace treatment]

7. “Sometimes when you love someone, their happiness takes priority over yours.”

investments in happiness [again my standard bullshit]

8. Blaine’s found his soulmate. Except he hasn’t.

uncage your mind (and i’ll give you the key to mine) [working title] [my like one super fluffy cliche soulmates au fic that i can’t write because i suck at writing fluff without angst]

9. Deception’s a tricky thing.

a fight against morality [blaine’s a loser for his unofficial side hoe]

10. “You shouldn’t jump, y’know. If you survive, you’ll probably end up disabled and your life will suck, like, a million times worse than it already does. It’s honestly a pretty stupid way to die.”

the bridge [working title] [wip that was its own thing before i decided to make it an outtake for erase my name]

i’ll tag @nicoise @lusthurts @unholybinchicken for this one!
