#nerdy ramblings

[obsessedgames505]

Figured I'd make these art pieces public! WIPs of Ravi's and Orion's new looks and fits. I feel like what I'm going for is pretty cool, but what do you guys think?

Something in NPMD that I don’t think people often see or understand is just how mean Richie is. Like during the library scene he is constantly making fun of Peter, pointing out his mistake in his joke and teasing about him and Steph. Also in the Bully The Bully and Bury The Bully — especially in the latter — he’s often seen with a face of disgust.

STOP MAKING THIS MAN MEEK AND SHY!!! HES A BITCH!!!

love the “paul is autistic” headcanon!

hate people excusing his assholeness because “he’s autistic” which perpetuates a harmful stereotype that autistic people are assholes and there’s nothing we can do about (autistic ≠ being an asshole, they are not related)

love the “paul is autistic” headcanon!

hate people ignoring the symptoms that are “ugly”. every goddamn time i see people talking about his symptoms… it’s just. oh. he slightly stims and he’s a little anxious. and that’s it. like goodness i could go on about the “ugly” symptoms. like for example what about the two times (three if we count the audition) in the show he had a meltdown?? like? those are so fucking noticeable to me as an autistic person.

idk. if you’re gonna headcanon him as autistic do it right

Normalize crying over seemingly normal phrases. “I used to dance.” No no no god please no “he was watching the fireworks.” Stop it please I am in TEARS. “Taking your advice.” NOOO my heart is on the FLOOR IN TINY LITTLE PIECES

Random thought but I actually love If I Loved You

I used to not like it that much, for no reason in particular but it just never really stood out to me. Especially since if you listen to the soundtrack without all the talking scenes it comes right after Just For Once and. You can’t do that to me.

Anyways I think I like the acting better than the actual song. Just the way they’re moving and stuff idk.

The way they walk away from each other after each chorus, just the way they walk.

The way Steph keeps bending a bit like she’s trying to patronize Pete.

The audience cheering when Pete throws the hot chocolate cup kills me too

I think this clip is my favourite part though. The joke of Pete miming a baseball bat when he mentions football. The way Steph looks over her shoulder before she does that walk, checking to see Pete’s reaction because obviously the whole time they’re essentially just trying to get a reaction out of the other. Nothing groundbreaking, of course, I just enjoy watching it.

was genuinely curious if anything would come up if I put the lords in black into google translate and I found this funny LMAOO

So I’m probably not going to do this because it’d take a lot of work that will definitely delay the next update by like a lot, and it is really late so it’s probably just casual midnight thoughts but

What if I took another shot at redesigning these two?

Again, I’m most likely not going to do this. There’s already so much work done and I can’t afford to do it all over again.

This is more of a question of “hey what if I didn’t directly take the color palettes and vibes of Shadow Milk Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie and slap them onto my characters?” What if I tried to design them without any of that influence?

Because even though I like these designs, I was also going through a very blatant cookie run phase when I remade them. So maybe I should draw a what if scenario where I didn’t use such blatant choice of reference?

However, that’s not the only reason I’m considering this. If my games ever get to the point where they’re popular enough for people to want me to make merchandise of them, I don’t want the lawyers of Devsisters knocking on my door sending me a zillion copyright infringements or 2 million cease and desists for using only one reference when making my characters. If I was rich enough to fend off lawyers like that I wouldn’t be making games tbh. Sure, they probably wouldn’t notice a random lil indie dev making a very specific niche of dating sim. But do I want to take that chance in the future? No not really.

So while this is purely a what if scenario right now, since even trying to do this would require several weeks, I am considering it for my own artistic integrity and own legal safety. I want to start making things that are purely my own and not just my version of the hyperfixation I have that week, and I don’t want to get into any possible legal problems with my designs. I’m just trying to have fun but I want to be safe while doing so.

If any of my followers could give me their direct input via the comments or the ask box, I would seriously appreciate it. I’ve been conflicted about this since the new game’s release.

well read women are so attractive. yes i do want to hear about the character that you've psychoanalyzed. and yes i want you to explain the entirety of the lore and setting of that book series you're reading right now

[ace7librarian]

I made a thing and I'm correct

[caruliaa]

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS GRACE I COMMISSIONED FROM THE AMAZING @nandysparadox RN SHES SO CUTEE !!!

[blueskiesandstarrynights]

so obsessed with the fact that everyone looked at Paul and immediately decided he's uncle shaped. Tim? That's his nephew. Alice? He's also got a niece. Richie? You guessed it, Paul's got another nephew.

Like I get why everyone portrays Bill as a theatrical conman and pathetic but like. He's also canonically incredibly intelligent at least in mathematics and physics (also like, history and all the knowledge he knows???). He helps Ford with the portal schematics and is shown to correct Ford's equations when he's working with Ford. He's legitimately extremely intelligent, and like sure he's a liar and a cheat and a partier so he doesn't fall into the classic 'stereotype' of studious nerdy and intelligent characters like Ford, which is why I think it's not explored in fanon... But that doesn't erase the fact that he's incredibly intelligent!!! Anyways this is my plug to beg people to explore that part of Bill in fan creations since I think that would be cool...
