cw for flashing lights tw for (slight?) ab*se mentions in the lyrics!

ok so ever since i saw this post (specifically the last pic) i could not stop thinking about how the first glass beach album is kind of cocole coded which led to me thinking about it for like almost a week which led me to start progress on this custom level of glass beach by. glass beach which. is far. VERY far from finished (7 FUCKING MINUTES ARE YOU KIDDING ME) but i wanted to share what i have of it it anyways bcuz. i need ppl to see my vision.

this post got longer than i thought it would so. More ramblings under the cut

ik the song is supposed to be about a girl’s parents being shitty and the guy wanting his lover to run away from them and stuff, but i have a plot in mind about how instead of parents its nicoles smoking addiction which keeps on hurting her and how cole is tired of it. i think its nice to explore their journey of cutting away from their addiction (even though its mostly talked about in the game… idk i still think its interesting) and how everyone else in the hospital helps them idk. also including some pining because that's always wonderful

theres also this little mini comic i drew w the first couple of lyrics of classic j dies and goes to hell part 1, theres not really a story its just random moments but i still think its decently alright? i am. not a storyteller. IDK

but anyways i just want people to get that they are so. glass beach coded and i could NOT get them off of my mind for the life of me. i hope i can muster up the motivation to finish the level because i really really want to and i think itd be cool idk RAMBLE OVER

help I'm back in my Rhythm Doctor phase (For real, though, certain posts from now on will purely feature RD content... SRB2 will have to wait ig.)

I guess I'll drop some intern-related headcanons here. (Under cut!)

Y'see, my interpretation of the Intern(s) is not any physical entity - not a robot, not any specific Internsona, not even a hand... it's a system. A system of wires and devices made specifically for volunteers to the Rhythm Doctor initiative to connect to and defibrillate patients with.

...Except it went in a bit of a wrong way, being haunted by the spirit of a patient falling victim to improper treatment. That patient being the representation of myself:

(More info on custom gimmick will be posted later if requested!)

A side-effect of this 'takeover' is that the numerous TVs that were installed to optionally show the face of the intern(s) at work can also show a form that the reawakened soul of Kirl came up with to represent himself again:

(I can imagine the only thing Kirl remembered once he woke up was that he was a huge Sonic fan-) (Special thanks to @emo-hermit for both of the templates btw!)

I'm gonna briefly go on a tangent about how exactly the whole thing works. There's two ways an intern can defibrillate a patient, and both are still left around by Ian in case the less effective one still has a use in its distance:

Method A: Direct Connection A wire comes down and directly connects to the patient's heart. Can only be used within the hospital's walls, but it's the more effective method in comparison. This is also the only method currently equipped with a prototype of the "Miracle Cure" Ian has been working on, though it isn't active yet (during the events of the game).

Method B: Remote Shock Control A device is stuck onto the patient's chest, close to where their heart would be. This device is then remotely told to deliver slight shocks to the heart for a less effective defibrillation at a much greater distance than Method A. The further away from the hospital, though, the greater the input delay… (Used throughout Act 4.)

alright I'm gonna end it here because I ran out of things to say💥

im at school rn here is ian/ada/nicole relationship hcs because i mightve forgotten about the rd anniversary

ughhhhhh they have a special place in my heart i have so many hcs for ian and nicole specifically because their relationship is so funky and interesting and silly

nicole is a t4t nonbinary lesbian i dont have specific labels for her Yet. she probably wouldnt use them anyway and shes so real for that

ada trans woman (just she/her i think) and bisexual !!!!

ian is trans man(???????????), uses an ungodly amount of neopronouns (good for him he is literally so me) and i think he’s unlabeled for sexuality but doesnt have any gender preferences

ive decided the aphmau au will be posted tonight becaus ei feel bad for kicking myself out of the rd fandom (personal reasons)

(rhythm doctor act 5 out now)

Design by RD's pixel artist Winston. Drawings by me, with consultation by Winston.

In RD, most things are designed for pixel art first, and then extrapolated into a drawing afterward. Same approach here.

It was fun to make someone feel strong and larger-than-life. RD has a lot of characters who are sort of "passive", so we wanted someone who had a definitive voice and wasn't content to let the world push him around.

Because Lucky is a famous athlete, every character has a different relationship to him.

Characters like Logan, Hailey, Nicole, Janitor, and Mr. Stevenson are fans of his. Characters like Paige, Ian, Cole, and Miner have never heard of him. Potential for some fun interactions.

Anyway, enough of me over-explaining! In short, it's great to have a new addition to the cast that can shake things up at the hospital.

Winston did great with the design + animations, based almost solely on the prompt: "strong athlete who is frustrated at being in the hospital."

Here’s a few doodles I did of a couple fusions from @pokeblog123’s RD fusion AU!

It’s mostly the Cole/Nicole fusion Matcha but there’s a quick doodle of the Ian/Ada fusion Doc for good measure (I linked the posts about them if you’re curious to check them out!)

[emphasis-on-the-oopsie]

Cocole nation did you guys know that based on promotional art from the official rd twitter that nicole is taller than cole by around a foot

[demizorua]

Related to my last ask, do you mind telling me your aro thoughts on the rest of the rd cast?

I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT MIND :DDD

in order, there's logan who i've talked about, and then also ada, insomniac, cole, and nicole!! they are the ones who have been Beamed™. and it'd probably be more accurate to say they're all arospec somewhere to me and i don't know the Specific labels that apply to them, but then again, neither would they so it works out.

with ada, i feel like she's the kind of aro that doesn't really distinguish between platonic and romantic feelings. it's all a type of love, so she's all vibing! if she feels romantic attraction, she wouldn't know because she can't super identify it. she's up for partnering and wouldn't mind dating people, or being in a qpr, but the terms of the relationship would mostly fall on what the other party needs/wants to a degree. not that she doesn't care or is a pushover, just that she kinda. is fine with most types of relationship, as long as the other person in question is able to communicate their needs and respect hers, etc. but she's just here to enjoy being With People!!

insomniac is loveless bc i feel like loveless aros deserve the world. i was going to say "deserve more love" but that. entirely defeats the point lmao. he enjoys people's company and enjoys things and stuff like that. but never really feels comfortable with the term "love" being used to describe any of it. he's just hanging out. just vibing.

cole and nicole are a qpr in my beautiful mind. just because i think it's swag. they're different kinds of aro to me, though.

cole is like. he likes love songs and has ideas of love and affection and just was never super sure what that was supposed to feel like? his only reference was other people's descriptions and was never sure how to apply that to himself. the first time he started questioning that was around nicole, because he started to feel things he could identify as. being similar. that's what the whole inspiration thing is about, she was his inspiration, and while he's still not sure if what he feels for her is concretely romantic love, he knows she's very important to him and makes him happy and... honestly he's starting to think that's enough for him. he's never thought about that very deeply.

nicole, on the other hand, was more like. just comfortable in being aro prior to meeting cole, and still is comfortable in that. she's aro, and she's good with that, she doesn't really see a need to examine it any further. she likes cole, he's good to be around, he's nice. it's not exactly romantic, but she likes him.

they are so qpr. to me.

I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE these are the guys i've hit with Beams so far!!! thank you so so much for asking and giving me an opportunity to talk about this :DDD
