Zuko☀️❤️‍🔥

Wanted the excuse to draw a long-haired, adult Zuko. I also made him breathe out fire because it looks cool.

Does anyone here at the Hazbin Hotel like playing video games? In this case, you ought to check out the “Overview Trailer” for the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2 on YouTube. The games and features it offers are sure to impress any video gamer at this hotel.

Alastor: No.

Vaggie: Shocker.

Charlie: I like video games, sure, I just haven't had as much time to play any recently. But the systems we have here probably aren't the same ones you're talking about.

Lucifer: Pride used to make some decent systems and games when video games themselves were new. Buuut... It's pretty much thoughtless crap these days. If you want quality you gotta import it from one of the other rings.

Charlie: Dad's really into farming sims and survival games. Stuff that lets you build. I'm more into fantasy rpgs.

Vaggie: I understood some of those words.

Alastor: I'm bored of this conversation!

And when I'll make a recording of myself reciting Dmitri's in a thousand of agonies I exist monologue into a techno track. Then what.

is masking your true self a CSS or javascript thing. CSS you are directly altering appearances but youre doing it in an official way that you can read in the page inspector. javascript is a bit more hidden and you can overturn CSS.

i am once again getting excited over stuff that isn’t even confirmed lmao but what if hypdream has a similar story format to arb s1 where it’s split into six separate stories centred around the divisions where the final boss of each story is the evil version of the division so you have to strategise how to defeat the divisions with the characters you have unlocked like what if i have to beat bat with bat would evil kuukou have priority and his ability might go off before i can seal evil kuukou’s myself idk how jyushi’s ability works but can i negate the damage he supposedly can heal by reflecting his attack phase back at him with hitoya’s would the three of their attack stats combined be enough to beat them if evil kuukou’s ability can be used more than once—

8 Bit Elemental Battlegrounds Symbols Day 38: Atom

And that's all of the seals that are in or were/are planned to be in the game!

BUT I'M NOT DONE YET!!

[gsm-or-the-three-letter-person]

oh yeah for the Femblem group (yeah yknow who you are)

as per recent events i no longer feel safe in the server and once some campaigns I’m in die down or go quiet i fully intend on leaving it all behind

between the targeted harassment that got me picked off the mod group to the election shit i just can’t stomach playing a game I’ve been actively barred from enjoying / where my voice no longer matters and I’d rather write in a setting where I do not in fact worry about how I am perceived as a non-binary / gender-fluid person

but hey, the “normal people” get their spoils I guess

obviously nowhere near a “soon” thing but a “in due time” one. nothing to worry about yet but I’ve kinda already made my choice, and unless something massive happens I don’t intend on stepping back from it

[merpshire]

I feel like you either find this kind of video fun or soothing to watch OR it makes you quiver with rage. Anybody out there feel totally neutral about this shit?

i'm playing Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth, and it's a point and clock adventure game with the "Your choices matter!" element to it, but it's really starting to feel like one of the bad telltale games where it's very clear that your choices don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, and the game is just a bunch of plot twists over and over that make u feel doomed

Playdough X Playdough

Element Expansion Bubble: Corruption turns people and institutions it touches into literal playdough in a country — the people, because they become mere material means to some ends or are handled in a cavalier manner, the institutions, because they become funhouses that fail to serve practical needs. Formal funhouses do better than that.

The agents of corruption themselves, whether bribe extractors or middlemen, are often muddy playthings thrown off the path of higher reason and into chaotic whirlpools by primal forces, be these fear, greed, lust, jealousy, or want of power. Their worldviews are pathetically narrow. At times, the primal force is self-preservation under limited economic choices, deep-seated need to belong, or some other sympathetic cause, but sympathy does not alter their toy status, already a fact — it only alters the toy repair kit, the remedy.

The playdough imagery is an acquired visualization skill, like the awakening to reality in The Matrix franchise, not a given. Some errant actors arrogantly see themselves as and behave like humans, noticing neither how dough breaks off from them and marks their trails nor their hilarious deformities accumulated on grazing past sturdy objects. Tens (or hundreds) of millions of taxpayers contribute enormous streams of time and funds to the erection of buildings that may look stately to them but are really cartoonish circus tents or slimy huts. Stagnant seas of needy institution users wait for support in vain while oblivious to the squishiness of pillars.

There are, on the other hand, errant actors who not only are cognizant of their doughhood but also take pride in their self-malleability. Civilization, with its inefficient, opaque layers, chronically underfunded workers and checkpoints readily convertible into fast lanes or walls everywhere, has always been a game in their view. You cannot blame them, they argue, for playing according to the real, unwritten rules. Yet when they get on the wrong side of some fuchsia-pink diva or lime-green tyrant and their colorful stashes are seized to spell their doom, the guillotine still hears their inner shrieks. The tear-stained, lumpy heads are swiftly remolded and traded as soccer balls among their unrepentant partners in crime.

Leading a revolution against the playdough malaise is a task even more grueling than what it may seem, since you do not see the reality of yourself, your comrades or your fortresses until what appear as flesh and concrete are put under a battery of tests. As more and more of your panorama turns into soft figurines and collapsible structures wherever you head to, you also stare at your own smudgy stumps that were once human limbs and realize there is no choice but to lumber onward as a fragile toy army. Toyhood is said to be a leisurely affair of little things lifted and driven around by Brobdingnagian hands, but the remaining humans are too harried, too few and far between and probably not human anymore by the time you reach them. All of your flaking, drooping bodies cannot afford the wait for them to bring in public sector transparency, streamlined administration, proper financing structures and stiff penalties. Shake a fist at the writing team in the skies overhead for not forgoing the need to fill dough stomachs in this fantasy premise.

And so, you prop up each other, prepare makeshift cells for traitors and march on in this perilous, long journey. There is pride too in the somber army's malleability, but that malleability is in the choice to stand tall and champion for a resilient habitat livable for all rather than to succumb, one unshapely clump after another, to a viscid giant mattress of temptation.
