Do you think being aware of the different elements in art or just ordinary objects can make the process of actually making art difficult? I get that it's about balance and unity of it all, but being introduced to so many concepts early on feels like too much. Almost feels like learning to make art digitally for the first time -> introduced to all these neat gadgets but no idea how to use them or where

This is a crazy good point anon & very important. YES I think it makes it exponentially harder

Rachel: Annie why'd you invite Leo and Conner to your bachelorette party?

Annabeth: I'm trying to get them together

Leo: You think I'm gay?

Annabeth: Aren't you?

Leo: I told you I had feelings for you!

Annabeth: Everyone has had feelings for me at some point, do you like boys or not?!

Leo: ...

Happy Fathers Day Tumblr, my 70-year-old dad just told me this joke out of the blue:

What has two butts and kills people?

An assassin.

I know nobody asked, but I just spent an hour of my life researching this, so have it ig?

To the best I can figure, here’s a very rough timeline of the interesting points in House’s life, leading to S1:

1991: Wilson and House meet at a medical convention in New Orleans

1994: House meets Stacy in a game of paintball with Lawyers v Doctors

1995: House gets the Esther case (on wiki the exact words are “in or around 1994” and I like to think that this case, which kinda screwed with House a bit, was a stepping stone in the Stacy/House relationship

1996: House is hired at PPTH by Cuddy

1996/1997: Wilson is hired at PPTH through a suggestion by House ( Wilson could have actually been hired basically at any point after House was hired until S1, 2004, but me thinks this is just the prime time for Wilson to be hired bc then within the two years, he marries Bonnie and spends his entire time with House after the infarction)

1999: The Infarction and Stacy’s leaving

2002: Chase is hired onto the House team after a call by his father

2004: 6 months before the start of S1, Cameron was brought into to the team and three days before, Forman was hired.

At first I was tentatively optimistic about tes 6 just because i find that more productive and mentally healthy than being pessimistic about it, but now I'm mostly just optimistic out of spite. "tes 6 is gonna suck because bethesda has gone woke and starfield was the worst thing to ever happen. skyrim killed my family and eso poisoned my water supply" oh yeah well I think tes 6 is going to be fun and wonderful and gay.

(hii Spot been awhile) Something I think that's interesting about the observation about how Slugcats are getting so much attention nowadays is that its almost a 180 from how things were in the pre-downpour days, iirc.

Though I am glad we're getting an AU like yours it's so interesting compared to the usual

Im eating with a fork

Yeah, the fandom was not particularly strong back then, but I think there was more Iterator content. My suspicion as to why slugcats are so much more popular now is because the general "cat appeal"*. Downpour brought in wider audience which mostly consists of people that go wild over cat videos on the internet.

Not my intention to throw shade on it, because after all what does my opinion matter to anyone, but I find the whole "cuteness cult" of the internet annoying and, when applied to Rain World, frustrating. There's a whole silent worldbuilding in basically every screen of the game and the only thing that people seem to take away post-DP is "cute sluggy go wooo :3 the Ancients were such cultist pricks Dx". Which like alright, but expand a little on the latter please? Try? There is So much fun to it when one moves past the "religion only BAD" mindset.

DP also I think didn't care much about the Ancients and the culture they left behind (and therefore the root of Iterators). "But there's Saint!" Saint is almost everything new that wasn't heard of before, can be taken as another fact of monstroid mad religion and, of course, it Has to be wrapped in a fluffy cat package. The undergrowth Echo also feels like a spit in the face to the lore/religion than an addition, to me. My *guess* would be the original intention was showing an individual who failed to ascend because of the Fifth Hindrance but it doesn't *feel* like it. If that was the intention, I think the author didn't understand why a desire to live/survive could ever, in any form, be bad

It's interesting as well in the sense that when there was only Survivor, maybe up to Hunter- the slugcats felt like a vehicle that brings the player to the story. The player saw the world through their eyes and got to experience the world's rules, abiding them- the original campaigns were still subject to the lore/religion of the world.

DP made the slugcats characters, the main focus, in some cases a rebelion against the lore/religion (forever beef against new route for Survivor and Monk). So people had an easier time latching onto them.

That is my theory at least. Fact is also when I first watched RW I almost didn't get into it as a creator because I felt like I had nowhere to hook to and work with. Characters are great anchor points for people to latch on to and then work with/through, so it's not like I blame the fandom for quite literally getting slug infested. It's natural and logical and I'm well aware of it as someone who's trying to be a writer. Still frustrating.

Either way, at least there's a vacuum for me to fill with something I'm actively actually passionate about. It's kind of a sweet bonus that people are somewhat interested, too.

Hey GT! Totally fine if you ignore this, and I apologize if you get asks like this a lot as I'm sure they can be irksome, but I was wondering if you'll ever feel comfortable revealing anything about yourself? Even if you keep it vague, I'm just so curious about where you're from (I think you have said you're in the US lol) your age and things like that. I know there are certain things we'll never know and I think that's completely fine, just wondering if you think you'll ever tell us any small, even vague, details x

Oh, sure! For starters, I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

hello tumblrinas. what do you think is the worlds most well known song

[sodaneko]

fic research has me texting my brother oddly specific questions about motorcycles and biker etiquette and having him mildly concerned why i'm asking all of these

[sastielsmanuscript-draft]

could sastiel ever exist in a world where it’s like 100% canon. do you think. i want it to

i dream about that everyday honestly. like if this universe has d*stiel be the popular one, then there's a multiverse where's a myriad of other ships that r popular. that unfortunately includes the problematic ones too.... imma eliminate those.

but sastiel in particular, yes. 100% one hundred times over yes. the ship has every ingredient that is needed for a ship that can be canon/ cas being an angel while sam is lucifer's vessel but cas learns sam isnt evil during the s1-5. more angsty but could end on a happy note. then there was more soft/fluff~esque moments (that couldve been developed more imo) like cas helping sam with gadreel or with post lucifer trauma (i dont if that happened or not. i dont remember it clearly, but like that would be really nice for sam n cas to have a heart-to-heart).

all i gotta say is that, i blame them fucking writers like gamble and dabb. now i dont totally hate them, but there was a bias on who was more favored coughdean/destielcough. so yeah i do think sastiel could exist being canon<3

[machiavelli]

also. I would like to make a post about the weirdest procedures or products that people are desperately trying to get in order to remain young. so scary. salmon sperm on your face. are we fucking fr. when was the last time you got your moles checked for cancer instead. but I mean- we have people using diabete medicines without a second thought to get skinny, so I wouldn’t say that health is the main concern here.

and I have to tell you people. I don’t give a fuck about sunscreen if I’m not at the beach. bye.

"How do you stick with one project for so long without abandoning it" "How do you just sit down and work" "How do you make yourself keep working on a comic" "How do you draw and write when there's so many games to play instead--" The answer to these questions is always "I really don't think you understand the degree of hyperfixation I have for these characters." "But how do you keep the same hyperfixation?? Mine only lasts a month or two--" I was obsessed with a single manga from the time I was 15 years old until... Wait, still obsessed, but I think the last time I did fanart for it was two or three years ago now. (My friends know not to accidentally trip the wire and set off a gushing volcano of love on the topic of said manga. I will info dump with the fist of a very neurodivergent god.)
