The voices won again. Over a week of my life into an impulse project. A game console that only has one knob, one colour and one game.

Aside from the fact that using one of two input methods on the console puts you at a disadvantage, at the very least it's a cool icebreaker.

Everything runs directly on the device, there's a Pi Pico microcontroller driving an OLED panel. The crate I used for drawing sprites also provides web simulator outputs, so the game's also on itch! Touch input is still on the roadmap.

It’s nothing to worry about….

It’s just that Kamelion is trying to make himself REAL again.

Drew these a couple weeks ago while having pretty bad period pain fjfkk and since they're not as terrible as I remember, you can see them :)

Just needed to draw my girl during these trying times- and while I was at it why not dress her up in outfits from diffrent times of her life <3

PS : this is part of my now long ongoing Star Wars sapphic au, tho it's usually way more polished illustrations nfkl also here's a link to a post where I explain how maul ended up living on tatooine with Obi Wan between the prequels and og trilogy <3

What I don't get is why news outlets and Netflix are trying to convince us that arcane was expensive to make. 250 million usd for both seasons they said, and obviously that's a lot of money, but they make the mistake of comparing it to big budget movies like Tangled. So you're telling me that I got an animated masterpiece that combines multiple different art styles fantastic voice acting and creative and passionate writing, that's 6-7 hours LONGER than major animated movies, and its the same fucking price?? And you're expecting me to agree with the corporations outlook, that it's too expensive? Yes, tangled is considered one of the most expensive animated movies, but arcane is like FOUR Tangleds. Many other 3D animated movies fall within the 160 million mark, but again, they're hours shorter than arcane was. I think the prices are comparable. I believe in saw someone (on reddit maybe?) divide the cost down to minutes of screen time for each show or movie and it becomes really obvious. I'm also pretty sure that many of these movie budgets do not include marketing in their overall expenses; arcane does.

This isnt even bringing live action tv shows into the equation; i dont think arcane even touches like the top thirty of those. And yet it's framed as such an expense!! Bitch its an incredibly successful tv show!! Ik Netflix is cheap as shit and has its own reputation to grapple with, but is the disdain for animation so much? Is it disdain for female lead action, for poc representation, for LGBT rep on screen? For the animation medium as a whole? I know the answer of course. But it's still very upsetting to acknowledge and think about.

Separately, arcane is absolutely crushing it. Ik act three is going to knock it out of the ballpark. Keep crushing corporate execs expectations please.

A Tragedy in Four Parts

This is how the 80s movie went, right?

Im feeding this fandom my anatomy headcanons.

The Charge System

Instead of sparks cardbots have Charge Cores, which are a part of Charge System, that supplies the bot with energy and also serves as a nerve system.

The Charge Core is protected by Outer Shell made from dense machinium. Under the Outer Shell is the Inner Shell (wow really?). Its just a lot of high voltage electricity that's is being transported by Charge Veins to organs and the Charge Core itself from Fuel Processing System. In the middle of the Charge Core is the Core (I may need a better name). It's a ball of high voltage, that's responsible for making the bot alive.

4 Charge Veins stem from the Charge Core and fill the limbs and organs with energy. Are made out of the machinium, but less dense. The additional appendages (exp wings, tails) have Charge Veins that stem from the main Charge Veins that corresponds to their placement (wing - upper limb CV, tail - lower limb CV). The Charge Veins are flexible to an extent and can branch off to reach smaller places (fingers, finials, ect).

Now Im starting to rumble my crazy rumblings.

I think it would be hella cool if Mafia back in the old days would use the empty CV to show dominance. Like "Look how many bots we've killed." You could use the CV as very strong tubes.

The Core is often called the Essence of the bot, but it's not a medical name and more poetic/symbolic. It originated mostly from situations when, after serious injuries to the Charge Core, bots were acting too calm, like their personalities were sucked out. That was actually because they had very little energy and their Cores were fucked up/got smaller/the energy density dropped.

I made up this entire system simply because i don't want to use the spark for the cardbots. I will stand with this headcanon until I see the insides of cardbots in the official material. Yes, some things may be illogical but i don't care.

I also need to think through how exactly the Inner Shell works with Fuel Processing System. I may need to chat with my med friend about robots (i'm infecting her with robot brainrot).
