Todays Raft - 02/05/2024

It's time for the Raft Ride you've been waiting for!!

Season 8 Not Ridden by Link (Read More) Raft Ride (Underwater) - The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Rafter Unknown

Welcome back, Raft Ride! I thought we'd lost you for a second there, but of all things it was the Spongebob Event (currently ongoing!!) that brought the damn tune back. What a, uh, delightful surprise!

No but like, seriously, I was shocked to see it show back up in my subbox so nonchalantly initially as well, but once I listened to it I realized how perfect of a bit it was to bring the rips back this way. As part of the Spongebob event, it plays off of one of the show's most beloved bits - PREPARING THE KRABBY PATTY!!! - and the all-too-drawn-out introductory fanfare that precedes it. The line "It's time for the moment you've been waiting for!!" at once perfectly leads in to the rip's joke, the use of the da-ti-da-dittly-dahs to play Raft Ride's melody, whilst also doing a subtle nod to how long it's been since the last Raft Ride rip - can you BELIEVE it's been six and a half entire weeks since There's a Raft Ride-shaped hole in my Raft Ride-shaped heart was uploaded?? How did we SURVIVE all of this time??

But yeah, the Raft itself is super fun, I love how many of the announcer guy's various da-di-dah-dahhs get played with and how thoroughly fucked the high note gets. Honestly, the strained feel to Raft Ride in general feels like a match made in heaven for this gag in particular, as part of the joke with that drawn-out countdown is just how strained and exasperated the announcer's voice gets, perfectly fitting the unwieldy nature of Raft Ride as a tune. Inserting "PREPARING THE KRABBY PATTY" in the break leading into the loop is a stroke of genius and I fucking love how the rip just adds more noise on the second loop, adding a backing layer of da-di-dahs and a percussion made up of Spongebob's own footstep sounds. Dare I say a platonic ideal Raft Ride rip? Perhaps - either way, the joke works super well, and it was well worth the wait. Cannot wait for the sequel.

Kep at almost 5 months vs almost 6 months. he’s starting to grow in his adult coat and he’s not in exactly the same stance in the pics but I think he’s getting slightly more long? he looks a bit more proportionate to me, but again, hard to say. I know these are bad stacks but if you know anything about collie confo I always love hearing your thoughts!

my favorite photoplay article is entitled “are actors sissies” w reasons why different actors can’t be “sissies” and a truly hilarious amount of them are gay or bi but gregory peck’s is my favorite

1 year of drawing improvement ( ˙-˙ )✌ i learned im much better with watercolors than digital painting

[eggedbellies]

I'm considering offering 'dealer's choice' commissions. They'd be cheaper than my regular commissions; probably $10 or so, but it's flat rate, so I guarantee 1000 words but it might go over (which you don't have to pay for) but the catch is, I'll have a list of prompts/words and you can pick three of them, then I do whatever the hell I want with it. You can request omissions - that is, you can insist on like, no transformation, bc it's a squick or whatever, but other than that, it's entirely up to me what you get. The mystery bag of commissions.

How does that sound to folks?

R is for Rafts that we Ride together

Season 8 Not Ridden by Link (Read More) Raft Ride (Album Version) - The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Raft by Alex Wumbo

So, the previous Raft Ride which brought the legend back was a YTPMV-esque one, using samples from a particular Spongebob gag in tune with Raft Ride's sheer chaos. The SECOND one of the day, which we were blessed with mere hours later, is the inverse approach - its a melody swap, having Raft Ride's iconic instrumentation be the groundwork to an iconic Spongebob tune. That, of course, being the F.U.N. Song, the tune of Spongebob teaching series antagonist Plankton all about the joys of life - we've all likely heard it, and its a tune that's hard not to love. Its whimsy carried over into Raft Ride with flying colors here, the high pitched portions that give Raft Ride its wonky feel sound surprisingly natural here - maybe because the F.U.N. Song always had the vibe of a friendly campfire song-like shanty, something never meant to be performed all too seriously?

It's hard to make it sound unpleasant, either way - and it serves as a really effective little dose of joy, a reminder of how neat Raft Ride actually can be.

Know Your Not Alone

Kikoru couldn't stop the Honju's assault, she was already expending all her energy, to stop the bleeding from the strikes that humanoid Kaiju did. Though despite it all she still got back up and attack, however in her current brutalized form she couldn't even scratch the Monster before her. Which led to the Monster swiping it's claws aganist her causing even more injuries, eventually her desperate fighting got her right arm broken, unable to not only move her arm, but the rest of her body. Falling to her knees in despair, she waited for the end to come, as the Honju gathered massive amounts of energy near it's horns to shot a devastating blast to snuff out a young life.

Kikoru: * Thoughts* I'm sorry Daddy, I... I couldn't be perfect... I... am... sorry Mommy, I can't protect others like you did.

This was it, her story was going to be cut short by the horror in front of her.

* KUBFU*

A loud cry immediately gained her attention, along with the Honju who both turned there sights skywards. Both reactions were different as Kikoru was in shock over what she was seeing, and the Honju who was in immense pain as the tiny martial artist landed a direct Dynamic Punch to the Monsters head, which stopped the Monster's attack.

Kubfu who after there sky diving Dynamic Punch used the Honju as a platform to jump back to the ground with no damage.

Meanwhile in the Sky

Trainer: * Shouting* When I said we need to intervene Kubfu, I didn't mean you full sending yourself free falling too attack!!!

Back to the fight

As the Monster recoiled back in pain, Kikoru stood there in shock, having been saved by a Youju or something that looked vaguely familiar to her. The appearance only added to the creature's oddness, a small bear like Youju, with predominately grey fur, except for there muzzle which was a light tan, and hand and feet which had black fur, probably the most eyecatching thing was the white fur around there forehead that went off into tassels ( which looked like a hachimaki headband in Kikoru's opinion) overall the creature was so odd to Kikoru, her thought's were broken when the tiny creature began to sprint forward at rapid speed. Unknown to Kikoru, Kubfu began using Aerial Ace to quickly deliver hits to weaken the Honju. It worked somewhat as the strikes packed enough of a punch to start breaking bones and disable the Honju's movements, however, the tiny fighter type was still limited in power to properly take down the Kaiju. The Kaiju's rage eventually reached a boiling point, as it let out a roar and quickly began to gather energy between its horns again. It unexpectedly did it much faster and threw the energy ball right down the street. Kubfu could dodge. Kikoru couldn't dodge.

So Kubfu stood tall to defend Kikoru from the blast. This caused Kikoru to cry out in fear, not for herself, but for the creature that was defending her. Moments slowed down and in those few seconds, before the blast reached them, the creature began to glow a bright blue and white color.

A huge crashing sound was heard, and Kikoru who closed their eyes in fright, opened them back up to be met with an amazing sight. The creature stood there holding back the blast, while the glow grew ever brighter. Soon the creature began growing bigger, and bigger until the glow stopped and in the small bear's place now stood a 6'03 tall bear that had the appearance of a dojo master. The now-evolved Urshifu R, stood holding the blast back with ease before a rapid flurry of blink-and-you-will-miss-it strikes destroyed the blast completely. Kikoru stood completely amazed at the display of raw strength, and the surprises were not over yet as Dadju appeared to help out the two welps.

Other things I didn't add because of space: The drone caught aight of Kubfu and there evolution, but lost visual after the shockwave

Trainer was there to watch Kafka and Reno take the test, and Kubfu had stayed out to watch the combatants fight and dived in after Trainer said they needed to help after the Kaiju resurrected

Uh oh, I don't think Kikoru can lie about Urshifu unlike she can with Kafka. Honestly Kubfu/Urshifu is the type to jump in a fight all kinds of insane ways. That evolution scene is definitely etched in everyone's mind.

Even moreso once it becomes clear this isn't the only time it happens. They have a feeling that Trainer is connected.

Random Fact of the Day

Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Urshifu!

Did you know that this form of Urshifu is a strong believer in defeating its foes by raining many blows down on them? It’s believed that this Pokémon modeled its fighting style on the flow of a river - sometimes rapid, sometimes calm. Its strikes are nonstop, flowing like a river!
