I don’t think Kaz would be the person with a beard, but oh my god, it would be so hilarious to see

he physically cannot grow one but he borrowed Ireena's disguise beard for this. tragically this pained me to draw but Kaz would enjoy having a beard Way Too Much.......

Do you have any tips for naming Zeti OCs?

( I might have impulsively created a new one, and I have no idea how to name her )

i DO!!! i got you >:( i love zeti names the deadly six do have a sort of naming convention by themselves- that being taking a word related to their obsession/sin, twisting it, and then adding a Z at the front for example- havoc > havok > zavok, nom nom > nomom > zomom, etc so i find when naming zeti its easiest to follow that? if your character has one notable trait or sin or obsession like the six, try and find something to spin off of that in my case zolus, who sort of represents envy and loneliness, was just putting a Z at the front of solus (which is a stage direction for something being alone) or zubix coming from rubik's, or zoray coming from moray eels, etc if you cant think of anything though, most of the time just shoving a Z at the front of a word that sounds nice rather than trying to make one from scratch is generally easier. thats my advice!!! i believe in you

FINALLY FOUND WHERE JOSEPH SAID HE DOESNT THINK ALEX KILLED AMY OUGHHHHH

(link, he talks about it a little more from 3:15:50-3:17:25)

Transcript: I, I do not think that Alex killed Amy. Now do not go and start quoting me and saying that "Joseph confirmed canon that Alex did not kill Amy." But I don't think he would've killed Amy.

So I'm in certain public Discord server and decided send some random Marble Hornets pics. People in server however don't know Marble Hornets is - they never heard of it! :( But luckily I found few of them heard or even liked the series :)

Besides that people replied the pics I send and their responses are funny and hilarious as hell

This is what I've got

@loyaltyshattered || STARTER with Ivaux

"My name is Ivaux- I come from the Holy See as requested." Finally, being warm inside was a grand blessing after the long walk from the city proper and while the priest found mild agitation in being away from his usual working within the mortuaries and catacombs of the city, he did take some interest in being away. Different sights were appreciated in the very least.

Hello, hi, sorry to bother you. Can I ask you a few questions about edge marbling? Cause I'm wanting to do a suminagashiarble on the edges of a book I'm doing and also it sounds terrifying. What I understand so far is that you get two boards and two c clamps, clamp the shit out of the edge of your book, and then dip. Do I round the book before I dip the fore edge? Will clamping the shit out of it prevent water damage? Do I have to dip relatively quickly? Does speed matter?

Thank you for your time

No problem at all!!!! So, disclaimer up front that I am just ad-libbing wildly based on vibes and instincts, and my instincts often skew in the direction of shortcuts and forgetting steps. So I'm not the MOST reliable resource, if something I say sounds iffy to you, please go ahead and question it and test it on your own and prove me wrong! Edge marbling takes place at a point in the process where failure would be HEARTBREAKING, so take whatever precautions you feel like you need! I tested some thrifted books I didn't care about before moving to books I had made.

The rounding is a hard question. I haven't marbled any rounded books, so I'm speculating here, but as you marble, having sides that trimmed and sanded at is CRITICAL. it isn't as finicky as for like, gilding, but you don't want to get bubbles trapped under your edge because that will leave a blank space in your color. it's less obtrusive in suminagashi than other marbling styles, but still a damn shame. When I round, I usually trim the fore edge flat afterwards. I like the look, some people don't. I would definitely be willing to marble an edge like that. If you want the concave look, you'll need to marble before rounding. And that's going to be... hard, because your edges need to be as flat as possible and your spine won't be fully glued yet. You might be able to get it good enough, but I would worry about bubbles. This is something you can't really test on a thrifted book, but I would sew a blank book or something to test on before doing it for real. Maybe clamping, sanding, marbling, and drying each edge separately before proceeding? I'm not sure, sorry.

Now, overall... When I do this, speed is definitely key, but rushing isn't good either, because some of the actions do need to be precise. It's a tricky balance to walk, but I would prioritize speed myself, rather than risk the integrity of the book. If I was being REALLY careful, I would use boards cut to be the exact size of my text block so I could clamp in one go, then dunk my sides one-two-three and get it out and leave it to press and dry. I don't, I use board scraps and move them between sides of the text block as I go. To facilitate that, I use these clamps specifically for this task:

These are spring loaded nylon clamps. They ratchet down with hand pressure, and when you trigger a switch in the handle, they SPRING open. It's much faster than a nice clamp, and gives me enough pressure for this task. I'm not trying to hold the text block in place while I hammer it. I'm just trying to stop water from soaking into the text block. And if I do this right, I'll be barely touching my text block to the water anyways.

I mentioned bubbles under your text block up above, but even more than that, I try to be careful about not letting the the boards overlap the edge of the book. I sometimes let them recess by a smidge, but overhang will DEFINITRLY guarantee a space where a bubble could be trapped. I try to keep a clean flat surface nearby where I can dip an edge, unclamp, move everything to a new side, and get it all freshly clamped, aligned with the new surface. Usually I'll just need to do the reclamping process twice max before I have to reset my marbling vessel anyways, so I usually just move fast and get a corner of my table wet, and wipe it dry later.

Then, the actual dunk. I usually go with a slight rolling motion along the length of the edge, from one corner to the other. This is another chance for bubbles to escape. But I also don't want to let the book go too deep. The clamps will help with water soaking in, but you still don't want to tempt fate too badly, and you don't need DEPTH to get the ink to take. I.... forget if I'm supposed to let it linger for a moment or not, but I usually don't. I take just long enough to be sure I've gotten the whole surface of the edge. Then I lift. I also don't remember if I blot it at all, but if I do, it's just a gentle touch against paper towels to make it stop dripping so bad, then I move to clamp the next edge.

Even if you move fast, by the end, you'll notice your first edges starting to swell up and maybe ripple a bit. That's just paper reacting to water. But also, no, bad, that needs to stop asap. As soon as I'm done. I press the text block HARD. I put paper towels and such on both sides, and then I put a LOT of weight on top of it. I want to get this as flat as possible and eliminate as much swell and ripple as I can. I usually end up with a *little* left over, but I can tell because I knew how flat it was before, it's not something I'm embarrassed to put in a binding.

I hope that helps!!!! I just kind of fudged my way through the process based on one short class on suminagashi I took and what little info I could find about other types of edge marbling. It's worked well for me, and was more forgiving than I was afraid at first. But it's still nervewracking! Best of luck with your efforts, I hope some of this is useful for you!

Headcanon: before everything went to shit, Masky on at least one occasion had to finish Tim's college homework, and will a little help from Brian, actually got a good grade on it.

Omg the image of Brian and Masky huddled on the couch or smth while Brian helps them piece shit together.... like i dont think in college Brian would rlly understand Masky a whole lot (if he even knew at all, I go back nd forth on it a lot) but he would definitely be willing to do everything he could to help when they were around. I feel like college coursework would def stress Masky out a whole lot, so i can just see Brian walking in bc he heard like. Thumping or something and Masky is just like. Throwing notebooks/ textbooks or hitting them against things in a fit of rage and Bri is just like. Okaayyyy how abt we don't do that tho. God this is good. Just like. Anything with the others interacting with Masky outside of like. Being tackled or stabbed or whatever yaknow? Treat them gently they're just a little guy........

What do you think zeti skin feels like? Like would they feel like leather on the legs part?

Inb4 Master Zik feels like old man's skin obviously 💙

LEATHER!!! it. it seems like a smooth leather to me i consider the black legs part and the upper colored part to be the same texture, just with different pigments

ingame seems like it could imply some kind of felt-like texture, but the renders being as (for lack of a better word) greasy as they are makes me pretty confident its skin and not thin fur of course it varies from zeti to zeti, older ones have dry, wrinkled skin while younger zeti (and bone users to a greater extent, which is hc stuff) have softer, supple skin anyway ty for the question
