while i'm breaking my silence I also have to say how fucking funny all of the art/writing depicting simon petrikov as an edgy hottie badboy academic is to me. like this guy is an absolute loser. just a sopping wet shaking greyhound of a man. in my head he's like. he's like maybe 5' 9'' and has dressed like a middle aged academic since middle school. he doesn't really know how to have conversations about anything other than anthropological publications on ritualistic sacrifice or geological formations and writes himself a script when he has to call and make a dentist appointment
Jazz is a clone of a Justice League member (up to you who). Maddie made her by combining her own dna and the league members. Danny, a recently made League Member, is (maybe not so) discretely trying to figure out which of his coworkers it is.
It's no wonder homelander turned out this way. Look at everyone around him, especially during his formative years
Like.....oh my god dude
frankly, given how he was raised, he has every right to be SIGNIFICANTLY worse. he's shockingly well adjusted for someone who was taught jesus speak and cringy americana in a dingy projector room by a bunch of inept scientists.
he doesnt know it. he doesnt know it for most of his life, anyway. he knows he has trouble focusing and sitting still, knows that if a topic doesn't interest him he tunes out immediately. he knows that just like he knows hes capable of working on fine-tuning a satelite dish for 9 hours straight in the hot sun and only noticing how long its been when he nearly falls off the roof because hes dizzy from heat exhaustion.
these are just quirks of his. little things. things that made kate go "oh, doug," and ruffle his hair. that made anne point and laugh at how silly her dad is.
once.
anyway. he doesnt know it, and its not relevant. so he doesnt find out.
until...
"officer eiffel. officer eiffel!"
"gah! hera! for gods sakes, warn a guy before you send him into cardiac arrest!"
"i... did warn you. ive been trying to get your attention for the past... 30 minutes."
"you... have?"
"i have. i understand youre hyperfixating, but commander minkowski really needs you to report to the bridge."
"yeah, yeah, in a min... wait. im what-now?"
"uh... hyperfixating?"
"okay, yeah, that. what the hell does that mean? if youre making up words to insult me now, youve gotta at least tell me what they mean!"
"... eiffel, do you not know what hyperfixating is?"
"uh, yeah? kinda what i just said?"
"um. well. hyperfocus is an intense form of mental concentration or visualization that focuses consciousness on a subject, topic, or task. in some individuals, various subjects or topics may also include daydreams, concepts, fiction, the imagination, and other objects of the mind."
"okay, webster's, now can we get the normal people explanation?"
"you were really, really focused. to the point where it was like nothing else around you existed."
"oh. i mean, i guess? but what makes it 'hyper?'"
"well, people dont normally focus that intently on a task or topic. its generally a behavior exhibited by those on the adhd or autism spectrum."
"... huh?"
"officer eiffel, youre aware that you have combined type adhd, yes?"
"... what?"
"oh boy. um, hang on, commander, this might be a minute..."
okay so I was talking about that bug game. um. I was actuallytalking about Vangers. This is slowly becoming related to my transformers obsession and I will be indoctrinating everyone I meet. if I turn one of these mechos into a transformer maybe then I can get more into my evil circle with popular tags
Ms paint doodles. I don’t know if I’ve shown my Ms paint stuff on here but okay. fun fact I doodle in Ms paint when I’m bored.
3D retexture of the starting mechos
spin around V
These 3d models were taken from the original game using the Tractor converter, check it out here!
Edited with blender to fix the many symmetry problems and textures in a (not legally obtained) substance painter using pixel8r!
Closeups + original ref screenshots below the cut. I’m trying not to rant and I’m not succeeding
^ NOTE, FOR 3D CREATIONS I WILL GIVE YOU THE BLEND/FBX FILES. JUST ASK.
ok now for how these guys look
And the mechos finally! Tumblr is lagging so fucking bad but I need to say that these high res spin rounds of the mechos aren’t how they look in game. Bitches are flat and low poly . I would model it to look more like it should but it’s funny
Unfinished comic that I’ve bee sitting on for literally over two years. Anyways when you and the bestie have a complex situationship that very quickly spirals into something so agonizingly one sided (unless….? 😳)
"neurodiversity is real" and "pathologizing random human behaviors is dangerous" and "symptoms of mental illnesses can come from chemical imbalances" and "symptoms of mental illnesses can come from environmental and schedule-based stressors" are all statements that are true
i keep feeling guilty about the like. state-sponsored employment counseling/resources i'm getting. (i basically have a case manager for job-hunting or continuing education, a work-health counselor to help me balance my disability/health needs with whatever work i end up doing, and uhhhh maybe a couple others i forgot.) but then i remember of the 10 years i've been out of school i've actually been full-time permanently employed for roughly 3 of them, and fully unemployed for about 3 of them as well. and i'm like oh yeah okay. i do actually need extra support & assistance.
projecting onto my ocs is my favorite activity. like. oh, oopsies, that ones tourettic now!!! awww, that one has grand mal seizures?? uh ohhhh that one wants to stab themselvesssss
