#thanks for the ask!!!!!

[kayatoastkkat]

Oh hiya there! I just heard you have a ghostyon design and if you do, perhaps you can kindly show it? Oh im just wondering about other people ghostyon design, and I heard you have one so... You know, if it's a no do for you it's quite alright, though I just can help but wonder (sorry that's a reference) thank you for hearing me out teehee!

hellooooo sorry this took so long I saw this as a chance to actually draw a coloured version of him for once and BOOM YES HERE HE ISSSSSS IN ALL HIS GHOSTLY GLORY

click for better quality I beg of you

I actually made him like two days after chapter 8 of Lying is a Love Language dropped and then gatekept it for a whole year and then more just never got around to posting it haha, putting all my 2024 art of him under the cut

idk where I had the energy to do a turnaround ref (traditionally too) but it's not happening ever again 💔💔

oh and while I'm here I'll also drop the full opacity versions of ghostyon because I like them

[whatwooshkai]

do you have any little facts about the bots? just small, random things about them in your au!! that’d be so silly

I’ll do one for each:

-Heatwave is a picky eater, but what he does like he eats a fuck ton of. There are several trophies in his childhood home from the eating competitions he’s won

-Chase has been using his sirens as an alarm clock since he first got them, and a lot of the tension between the core four originally was because Chase kept waking them up at egregious hours thinking they needed to be up. He still does

-Blades was the first to figure out how to access Earth radio in his vehicle mode and has it running through his internal speakers 24/7, only stopping when talking to people or in recharge. Sometimes if you get close enough you can hear it

-Somewhere on Cybertron, in a now destroyed warehouse, is the remains of the brewing and distilling set up Boulder built for high grade. The entire thing is industrial grade, probably better, and the product is better than some things on the market

Do you think maybe Caitlyn is still a little insecure about her rsn w Vi bc of Jinx?

I think a lot of her storyline in season 2 is her gradually moving past what Jinx did to her. Undoubtedly incredibly traumatizing, but being stuck in her circumstances didn’t do her any good. And definitely, after losing Vi once, I think Caitlyn would definitely be a lot more weary about what she’s willing to sacrifice.

Vi is Caitlyn’s person. There’s really no question about it. She’s her number one, the love her of life. Caitlyn saw the wreckage Warwick caused and still chose to help Vi once she knew the stake she had in it.

The question that Caitlyn will now always have the answer to is “what’s more important” and “what means more to me”. The answer will always be Vi now. Caitlyn’s learned her lesson.

And even when it comes to the bunker scene, Caitlyn was perfectly fine with giving Vi the space to free Jinx. Caitlyn loves Vi, every single part of her, whether it be with a werewolf dad or a terrorist sister. Maybe it’s a little convenient that neither are here anymore lol, but they are no doubt a part of Vi that Caitlyn has to love because she loves all parts of Vi.

Overall, I think it’s about looking at Vi as a full picture instead of puzzle pieces that helps Caitlyn move forward. If that makes sense.

What's some stuff you're really hoping to see in Jedi 3 (either narratively or gameplay wise)?

Oh I'm so glad you asked this 🙌 Because I have THOUGHTS.

Gonna put everything under the cut so this doesn't clog up the feed with a wall of text (whoops.) Some of these ideas I hope to create concept art for, after I replace/fix my very cranky thirteen-year-old tablet. Anyway let’s start with gameplay!

Gameplay!

Maintaining Cal's abilities: Survivor handled this beautifully by keeping many of the skills learned in Fallen Order, instead of undoing Cal's growth from the first game. I think it'll be trickier to keep this momentum into Jedi 3 (the skill tree has gotten so large!) but story reasons could push Cal towards new types of abilities instead of bloating the current options.

More synergy between the lightsaber stances: I like all the stances in Survivor and it'd be A) disappointing to lose any of them, but B) overwhelming to add MORE combat styles. Being able to flow between the stances more fluidly would be fun though, with specific combos unlocked depending on which two are active together. Now if Merrin lets Cal borrow her knife-staff and he puts his lightsaber on the end... MAGICK SABER PIKE GO.

New or adapted movement mechanics: Maybe the ascension cable is replaced with a force ability (Force Ascend or Force Leap for an extra vertical boost?) or is "upgraded" to connect between two anchors, letting Cal create his own temporary ziplines.

Replayable missions: This could be explained in-game with a Force Tear or Cal's own interactive echoes. But I'd love the option to experience story missions and boss fights again post-game.

Customization!

This is a bonus section because Merrin should get new outfits. Haven't decided how to make it part of gameplay yet, stay tuned.

Cal's cosmetics in Survivor are mostly cool, some just funny, but overall a huge improvement from Fallen Order (yes, even though we miss all the poncho designs). For Jedi 3 I'd love to see more story-centric cosmetics that tie into the communities and people Cal has met along his journey. A Legacy outfit (incorporating pieces from his three Jedi masters), an Anchorite-inspired outfit (with arm tattoos), a bounty hunter outfit (the prize after defeating the Brood), etc. Maybe a Bogling outfit? No not made from Boglings; it looks like a Bogling. Hang on lemme fix my tablet—

Narrative + Gameplay!

Explore Tanalorr: Right now this sparkly, strong-in-the-Force, temple-carved planet is a huge mystery box for Jedi 3. There's a few directions it could go - more High Republic history, another civilization (the Nihil? someone new?) lurking in the shadows, or Force-related secrets hiding below the surface. Each Jedi game has followed Cal's exploration of an ancient culture, and I think Tanalorr can be a focal point in that journey.

Defeat Sorc Tormo and the Haxion Brood: I mentioned this in an ask earlier this week, but I so want a resolution to this fight against the Brood. Especially since roaming bounty hunters would threaten the Hidden Path. Maybe Cal breaks back into Ordo Eris, or hunts down Sorc Tormo on another planet. Maybe there's a Force-only stealth section?? Maybe a big multi-wave boss fight? Maybe Caij is there??? (no she doesn't get an invite to Tanalorr)

Dark Side Force Slow: The fact that Cal's Force Slow ability kept its red-stained aura, even in the Survivor post-game, is great. I love lasting consequences and ludonarrative harmony, yes yes yes. Really hope this isn't fully resolved by the start of Jedi 3 (potential timeskip makes it tricky but whatever) and the ability receives some sort of healing through Cal finding his way out of the darkness.

Narrative!

Timeskip?: I vote no, but I think Jedi 3 will vote yes, likely to age up Kata and allow Tanalorr to be more developed. But that also means Cal and the Mantis Crew goes through character development without us (boo) or remains emotionally stunted until we get there (also boo?). I'm more comfortable with the five year gap between FO and Survivor than I used to be though, despite "missing out" on big character moments, so maybe it'll be okay. Maybe. 👀

The Hidden Path builds a home on Tanalorr: This works until it doesn't, whether from outside pressure or the threat of a spy within. I don't think Bode's fears should necessarily be validated, but I do think the risk will keep Cal on edge and hurt his ability to trust (both others and himself.) It'll drive decisions that strain his relationships and be a source of conflict for part of the game.

The Mantis gets semi-retired and then reinstated: I just love the mental picture of the Mantis parked somewhere cozy and decorated with cloth and lights and a hideout for Kata. It's become too small and high profile to use for gathering the Path, but when the plot gets going, they're gonna need her back in action.

Three main antagonists: The Empire, an unrelated third-party with their own goals (Nihil or someone else), and Cal's own demons. The first two drive the external conflict, the third drives Cal's inner conflict and the story's themes. More on that at the end.

A memorial garden: It's designed by Pili and filled with native Tanalorrian plants and trees, from which the Anchorites hang cords and windchimes and bits of colored glass. Cere's saber was buried beneath the largest tree. Cal plays her hallikset here when he's too troubled to meditate. If we want to be mean, this place gets damaged during a battle in Act 3. If we want to be less mean, this is the place that doesn't get damaged during a battle.

Kata has some sort of student-teacher relationship with Cal: I'm torn on her being Force sensitive: this is a story about Jedi and "guide her through the darkness" is pretty telling given Cal's own darkness at the end of Survivor. But Cal helping Kata (and Kata helping Cal) can happen regardless of her Force sensitivity - it would just look different. This is a soft answer because I'm still exploring ideas around it BUT admittedly the angst levels would be higher if she is sensitive.

A battle against the shadow self: Look this one is cliche. I don't care. I want a huge cavern in the depths of Tanalorr where Cal gets to fight a dark version of himself that switches between all his former enemies. If we're making a video game here let's physically beat up our darkness. Let's have it not work. Let's bring Cal to rock bottom to remind him that he is more than his darkness and he doesn't have to do this alone. Let's go back to that same fight later and then we finally win.

There's more to explore story-wise and I will eventually, but I'm overall not concerned about Jedi 3's narrative. Respawn has been very intentional with their writing of Cal Kestis and the Jedi series so far (despite some last minute changes to Survivor) and I love this character and this story because of all the great work they've created. I really hope they finish this journey the way they want to. That being said—

How should Jedi 3 end? Should Cal die?

No: I'll argue Cal dying at the end of the trilogy completely undermines the entire lesson of Survivor.

Cal wouldn't stop fighting the Empire: The Cal we meet at the beginning of Survivor definitely wouldn't. That Cal also watched countless friends die to that same fight and saw two different Jedi fall to their passions-turned-obsessions that led them to the dark side. He may wrestle with remnant obligation or a bitter apathy, but he's definitely not as single-minded as he was before.

Cal would sacrifice himself to save the Path: Yeah, he probably would. Cere did exactly that during the Siege of Jedha when all else failed. But maybe the Path could be protected without Cal needing to be a Weapon - a lesson Cere also wanted him to learn.

Another way: I think the Koboh abyss (that separates Tanalorr from the rest of the galaxy) could be destroyed. I don't know if Cal would choose to destroy it, but I think the Empire would: if they can't reach Tanalorr it's the next best thing.

Now Cal has to make a choice: Leave (continuing the fight alone) or Stay (shepherding the Path for an unknown future.) It doesn't mean they never find a way back to the known galaxy, but it'll take time. Enough time for a New Hope to appear.

Whatever your opinion of the Sequel Trilogy, the line: "That’s how we’re gonna win. Not fighting what we hate. Saving what we love." is not only a complete thesis of Star Wars, but fits really well with Cal's journey. He's become very good at fighting. He wants to save everyone in Fallen Order, and he can't. He still wants to save everyone in Survivor, and they refuse him. His Fight has made a difference (again, Cere says as much) but it's clear this can't be Cal's final answer.

Choosing to protect the Path, choosing to trust the Force, choosing a home. That's what he's been fighting for. I love Cal Kestis because he isn't the chosen one and he isn't going to save the galaxy. But for his family and his community, he saved their galaxy. It's cheesy but I don't care, and you know Greez and BD would agree with me.

-

Okay this got so, so much longer than I expected. Bonus points if you made it all the way down here haha. I've had a weird assortment of concepts and ideas over the past year but never wrote them down in one place - until now. I've said it before but part of my hyperfixation with the Jedi series is because it isn't finished yet and Survivor ends on such a gut-wrenching cliffhanger. Whatever happens to this series, I'm slowly finding some sort of catharsis through all the edits and photomode shots and half-baked concepts. Thanks for tagging along ✌️

I HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED JENNY AND ALYSS TOGETHER BEFORE?? TELL ME MORE PLEASE?? /pos

oh my god okay, so it's been literally over a decade since I read the full series, and just have gotten through the first book rn, but I'll give you my chaotic thoughts. it's more of how their nature's and personalities would compliment each other than any moment in the story tbh.

- Alyss's poised and quietly dignified nature complimenting Jenny's boisterous joy and radical kindness

- Jenny making sure that Alyss eats something when she's working long hours and is too focused to take care of her body

- Alyss is only comfortable enough to let the carefully crafted image of herself that she wears slip around Jenny because she knows that Jenny won't judge who she is underneath

- Alyss is the only one Jenny is comfortable enough to come to when she has a problem with someone because Alyss is the only one who understands and helps her process those feelings

- they both care for people in different ways, and they fill a piece of care that the other needs

- the soft kindness of Jenny in tandem with the hard edges of Alyss's more sharp and analytic yet kind nature

- Alyss reads people, and she's good at it, it's her whole thing. she's especially good at reading the underlying things going on with Jenny, able to look further into the open book that she usually is

idk they're both so different to each other I think they would work well together. and I always want lesbians.

Can you give tips for studying maths for a 11th grade student??

hello!!!! thanks for the ask, for credibility of my tips, I was the kid who was never good at math, actively hated it, wanted to drop it when I was in year 6. I was a like 30% - 40% scoring math student [in year 8 & 9], who moved to the high 80%s - 90%s in my last years of high school [year 12 & 13] - to the point I was regularly topping my class, I scored the highest in math out of all my subjects, and I am dreaming of pursuing physics. I did get a wonderful tutor, who helped me a ton in getting better, this is what I learned:

math is seriously mostly just practice & consistency

study 4 hours a week above what you do in school

do not ever give up on a question without attempting it at least thrice - in revision, not an exam of course

the whole point is getting so good at the methods of solving they come naturally to you

as well as analysing what method of solving helps in certain criteria

building math is like building a muscle, it takes consistent effort, you have to build math skills like you would build a muscle in the body, repeatedly, until it feels normal

if you struggle with a topic, give it the most time, - I am not particularly great at mental math, but I have been working on memorising my timetables (yes I am 19 years old) because my brain muddles up the numbers a lot

take your time solving questions, practice the motion of solving it, before trying to go fast - you will naturally speed up the better you get

meditate - staying mindful when doing math helps see clearly & think clearly. mindfulness has helped my problem solving tenfold.

also, it does not matter if you are bad at math, because you can always get better, being bad at something is impermanent, and can always be changed.

you aren't stupid, or dumb for not being as good at math as your peers (this was me, for quite a while). you're just struggling with a subject, which is normal - and you can get better if you work on it!

I think thats most of it!!! best of luck! let me know if you need anything else !!!

[vykker]

What if Vykkers had subcultures related to different types of body modification, like some being more into subdermal implants or piercings than skin grafts

I could see Vykkers getting spiky implants and piercings and such to try and look menacing as a sort of overcompensation. I think it was mentioned at some point that Vykkers are cowardly when it comes to pain towards themselves, but I could imagine some edgy fringe doctors specializing in that sort of thing, perhaps even doing it to themselves, either to look badass OR as a way of advertising what they're capable of. Like the old anecdote about not hiring tattoo artists unless they have tattoos themselves. [Which reminds me, there is that concept art of the Vykkers with huge "V" tattoos on their heads.....]

Even if it were uncommon for them there'd probably be at least one right?

[overheard-at-kickoff]

Robot brainstorming? Studying the rule book? Prioritizing game play elements?

Nah, this is playing Ultimate Frisbee. 😂⭕😂

I HAVE NOT WATCHED THE KICKOFF VIDEO YET I AM A DISGRACE TO MY ROBOT FAMILY

[holyfreaks]

i think samdean is a gimme for that meme lol so i am gonna say sammary >:3

Ship It!

What made you ship it?

the religious imagery (mother mary and jesus) all wrapped up in the incestuousness. the fact that sam has always wanted and loved his mom like dean and john but also seems to be the only person in the family who has typically treated her like a person and not a saint, which is what attracts mary to sam. the fact that mary doesn't see sam as evil and impure but as her baby boy. there's just so much there!

What are your favorite things about the ship?

well i kinda already answered it above lol but the fact that there's so many possibilities and so much potential in it!! plus ya know. it's hot

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on the ship?

hmm idk actually it's kinda a smaller ship so idk what's deemed as popular or not. I guess one HC I have for them is that they don't label what they have as anything, they're just THEM, and that they keep it secret from dean for a while until he inevitably finds out and it blows up between them (or ya know... becomes a throuple)

Deranged Dreadtide idea, feel free to ignore;

*High Tide waking up to Dreadwing bursting through his door in the middle of the night blanket in servo* "Wha- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

Option a) Dreadwing: "I frew up"

Option b) *Dreadwing crawling into High Tide's berth* "STFU lemme have this."

Option c) Pretend you saw nothing and move on with your life like the sane person I am not.

IDK man I just need more of them. This is your fault.

no no I get you

J U P (for the ask game)

JUUUUUP!!!!

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

Oh, 100% Homestuck. I don't know a ton about it,or really anything about it but I am aware, and frequently reminded, of it's existence.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Jounouchi, my sunshine. I love him so damn much. He deserves the world. I would and have talked about why he's my favorite so many times. I can go on for paragraphs, for hours. I know I need to tone it down here so here's a post I went on and on about him. But for this one I'll just say I just think he's neat.

Harley Quinn, my beloved. Love of my life. I love her so so much. She's intelligent and just idk silly. I love that she just does whatever she wants. She does good things, horrible things, she knows what she loves and she fights for it. I just, I love her so much.

Arthur (Fire Force), I've recently got into this show. He's so, like, ok he is an idiot. But I love him so much. He's so positive. I love his silly role playing powers he has. And he fights for people without a second thought.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

WILD WEST AU!!! WILD WEST AU!!!

I'm working on that. It just works so well with them I feel.

AU where they all get the THERAPY THEY ALL DESPERATELY NEED. (I know it's unrealistic.)

Um, oh a School Spirits Au would be amazing. I love that show, it would be amazing with yugioh as well.

Post -apocalyptic au, maybe specifically zombies. Cause like poor Jou. But it would be so good for him. He'd be fine.

Oh a groundhog day au would be really amazing. Idk where to go with this one but I love groundhog day type things.

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

*sees post and is curious* die young by the black royals

The best song on the album

Die Young. the first time I listened to it I was in the car and that's the only thing that kept me from losing it

My favorite song on the album

I cannot choose between Missing Something and Common Things

My least favorite song on the album

Righteous Child 🤷‍♀️ I did mishear the lyrics as "would you love me if I stayed for a while?" when it's actually "would you deny me if I stay for a while?" which, sure, but my version had me SOBBING lol.

The most overrated song on the album

I mean there really isn't one bc this is kind of niche?

Most underrated

same answer as above 😅

The banger of all bangers

Hearts On Fire goes hard !!!!!! Take It/Leave It is also a banger. the drum part >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rate from 0-10

solid 8/10 but I may just be biased. objectively, like, it isn't THAT good, but I really like it
