the amount of judgement radiating from batman is hilarious 😭

Benny x Courier but the Courier is increasingly in denial for their feelings for Benny cause they see him as this loser pretty city boy Vegas type and they slowly (or rather quickly) realize that there were in fact reasons why Benny was able to manipulate so many people, infiltrate the Fort and avoid serious injury for all of it.

Like surprise the corniest loser you know is actually pretty badass and you kinda find that infuriatingly attractive.

ok i found the sprite redraws. why is every single person in the notes "omg this is sooo much better... way less ugly... guys lets figure out how to mod this one into the game so we dont have to see the ugly one 🥰" WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??

At first, I was shaken when I saw the 2 on empathy for Kuras. But after thinking about it for a few moments it does make sense. He is a being who lived for eons. Living a short life is probably as relatable for him as being immortal for us. I bet even monsters don't have life spans as long as him.

Moreover, imagine how painful it would be to have a lot of empathy and see people die again and again. Not just because of war or disease, but because their life is finite.

I think Kuras is keeping people at a distance as a way to protect himself, but sometimes he gets too close to someone despite himself.

🟩 Achei a sua arte bem legal! Dito isso, vou aproveitar a "sugestão" pra responder a todos que estão reclamando que as alterações de Conhecimento são "simples" ou "decepcionantes", porque alguns comentários tão saindo de controle e inclusive desmerecendo o trabalho dos artistas incríveis que trabalharam no livro tentando "consertar" o que não está errado:

Todas as alterações que você (e vários outros) estão sugerindo não são realizadas pelo Conhecimento, são realizadas pelo personagem, e são exploradas e explicadas na trilha Monstruoso. Elas não se aplicam à seção que você está sugerindo.

Tatuagens são feitas pelo personagem, apenas alteradas pelo Conhecimento. Joalheria pode sim se tornar dourada, mas também são itens escolhidos pelo personagem. O cabelo ficar maior é um elemento de Morte, não de Conhecimento, como você mesmo explicou, o que tornaria poderia tornar o exemplo confuso visto que essa é a entidade com mudanças mais sutis.

O objetivo das artes na seção "Alterações Paranormais" é mostrar como as Entidades NATURALMENTE podem afetar cada pessoa, independente de suas escolhas, e o Conhecimento é obviamente a entidade que menos causa alterações físicas graças à sua natureza. Não é uma seção "olha como o Outro Lado te deixa mais descolado!" e sim uma seção "como o Outro Lado te deixa arruinado". É um livro sobre terror.

Todas as outras artes de elementos também contém designs bases de personagens simples para evidenciar o que está sendo descrito no texto, as alterações físicas, não escolhidas.

Se você quer ver, no livro, uma sugestão de como alguém pode ser completamente fisicamente transformado pelo Conhecimento e ficar "estiloso", é só voltar para a trilha Monstruoso e ver a arte do Namkuzu.

Além disso, a arte é um EXEMPLO, que nem mesmo aplica todas as descrições que estão narradas no texto que ela ilustra, justamente para ficar explícito que cada personagem é transformado de maneira diferente. Tem uma box inteira literalmente descrevendo isso, que aparentemente muita gente está escolhendo ignorar. Se você quiser um personagem com 7 olhos e pele dourada graças ao conhecimento, você PODE fazer isso, basta estar de acordo com o resto do grupo, mas esse não é o resultado mais comum das alterações de Conhecimento, e consequentemente,

Pra finalizar, a percepção pessoal / "headcanon" do que um Elemento deveria fazer no universo do Ordem é uma expectativa exclusivamente sua, e não necessariamente vai sempre condizer com as oficiais, e essa é a graça de um RPG: cada um pode criar as próprias histórias e os próprios personagens. Uma das minhas coisas preferidas é ficar vendo os personagens originais que o pessoal cria usando o universo e os elementos do Ordem e maneira criativa e inesperada.

Espero que isso tenha esclarecido pra todo mundo, e obrigado a todo o pessoal pelo apoio no livro! De coração tenho ficado muito feliz em ver todo mundo satisfeito depois de tanto trabalho ��

❤️I thought your art was really cool! That said, I'm going to take advantage of this "suggestion" to respond to everyone who is complaining that the Knowledge changes are "simple" or "disappointing", because some comments are getting out of hand and even belittling the work of the incredible artists who worked on the book trying to "fix" what is not wrong:

All of the changes you (and several others) are suggesting are not performed by Knowledge, they are performed by the character, and are explored and explained in the Monstrous path. They do not apply to the section you are suggesting.

Tattoos are made by the character, only changed by Knowledge. Jewelry can indeed become gold, but they are also items chosen by the character. Hair getting bigger is an element of Death, not Knowledge, as you explained, which could make the example confusing since this is the entity with the most subtle changes.

The objective of the arts in the "Paranormal Changes" section is to show how Entities can NATURALLY affect each person, regardless of their choices, and Knowledge is obviously the entity that causes the least physical changes thanks to its nature. It's not a "look how cool the Other Side makes you!" section! rather a "how the Other Side ruins you" section. It's a book about horror.

All other element art also contains simple character base designs to highlight what is being described in the text, the physical changes, not chosen.

If you want to see, in the book, a suggestion of how someone can be completely physically transformed by Knowledge and become "stylish", just go back to the Monstrous track and see Namkuzu's art.

Furthermore, the art is an EXAMPLE, which does not even apply all the descriptions that are narrated in the text it illustrates, precisely to make it clear that each character is transformed in a different way. There's an entire box literally describing this, which apparently a lot of people are choosing to ignore. If you want a character with 7 eyes and golden skin thanks to Knowledge, you CAN do that, just be in agreement with the rest of the group, but this is not the most common result of Knowledge changes, and consequently,

To conclude, the personal perception / "headcanon" of what an Element should do in the Order universe is an expectation exclusively yours, and will not necessarily always match the official ones, and that is the fun of an RPG: everyone can create their own stories and characters themselves. One of my favorite things is seeing the original characters that people create using the universe and elements of Order in creative and unexpected ways.

I hope this clarified for everyone, and thanks to everyone for supporting the book! From my heart I have been very happy to see everyone satisfied after so much work ♥

worst trope is found family separating as soon as the antagonist is dealt with.

[crxzytogether]

I see so many people, milven shippers and others, say that it'd be better if Will just moved on and got a boyfriend at the end and that'd be his like happy ending. And I would agree with that, like if the show so far was written differently I would be satisified with that, even if he ended up alone but like 100% came to terms with himself and accepted and loved himself I'd be okay with it. It would all be nice and well except they've made it basically impossible that Will could get a happy ending without Mike. Like season 4 they really solidified and hammered in the fact that Will is irrevokably in love with Mike, like he is down bad and it's not a fleeting crush or gay awakening or anything like that no he loves Mike for all that he is with all that he has. If they didn't make it so explicitly clear to us that Will is in love with Mike then for sure he could move on and find somebody else. But with the way they've shown and told us Will's love for Mike, he's not moving on anytime soon and unless theres like a 10 year time jump or something he's not gonna love Mike any less and even then part of him would probably still love Mike. So all this to say Will literally cannot have a satisifying ending without Mike and that's one of the biggest differences between Will and El's relationships with Mike. Eleven could have a satisfying ending without Mike because we've been shown time and time and time again how much she grows without him. Lol I rambled for a bit but I saw a comment that made me mad

[hypertranced]

I'm built different than other arcane fans cuz I deadass just love every character. I see people in tags of posts saying they can't stand most of the cast cuz of their flaws and I'm like damn that sucks for you but that simply couldn't be me

[paintpanic]

opinion on Kracko?

He's fine!

I really like what they did with him in TDX. His bossfight there used the foreground-background mechanics in a unique and interesting way, and the attacks they gave him are cool. (His DX design is also cool! I love the stripes!)

He was also neat in Epic Yarn. In that one, he's a miniboss in one of the rocket ship shooter levels, and he even gets his own music! (It's like a five second loop, but still-) As a whole, I really love the shooter levels in this series.

I think he's at his worst in Star Allies. They couldn't think of anything more interesting to do with him than add another one? Parallel Kracko is also boring and lame.

I think his design is fun, if a little generic. Like I said, they really nailed it in TDX. I'm also a sucker for anything with electricity powers, so that's a plus. Overall, I would say I think positively about this guy.

The mental wail of despair that echoed through my mind when I went to the library today only to find a fat "CLOSED" sign on the door. Screw you, door. How dare you lock me out when I've just finished watching the extended LOTR movies and now have a desperate need to get my hands on the books so that I can get a better characterization of Frodo, and I can also have a better understanding of the mental and psychological torture the ring put him through.

[redshoes-blues]

Do you understand how impeccable the writing has to be for me to go feral over a canon m/f pairing??? Like it’s one thing for me to occasionally ship a m/f pairing that are never canon who I enjoy the potential unexplored dynamic for, but it’s so rare that I actually like canon m/f pairings, it’s basically the highest praise a writer can receive from me if I’m losing it over one

The only good line in ralph breaks the internet

[saturdaynightghostclub]

This is totally just about my personal life and I can’t necessarily generalize it, but I do feel like I’m encountering a certain sort of insecure standoffish behavior more and more in people my age and it’s really bugging me.

So many people I know approach new acquaintances and social situations with this attitude of “Well, they probably won’t like me anyway, so I won’t even try,” which I find both really juvenile and really unkind. And don’t get me wrong, I do think there’s a time and a place for not caring what people think of you, but when it comes to your attitude and the way you treat other people, you absolutely SHOULD care what they think. You SHOULD want people to like you, or at least not actively hate you, and assuming that everyone you meet is the type of person who won’t is frankly pretty mean. Obviously not everyone is going to like you or want to be your friend, but that doesn’t mean you get to enter every potential relationship like an antisocial ghoul and then be mad that you have no friends? Make this make sense.

It goes hand in hand with this super annoying deal where people throw all their energy into resisting whatever’s popular for the sake of being interesting, failing to realize that not only are they unoriginal but they’re a complete bummer to be around as well. I really assumed we’d all grown out of this, but I’m well into my twenties and encountering people relatively frequently who cannot stand to have anyone think of them as “basic” or “like the rest” or what have you, and I can’t help but wonder if they’re happy with themselves. It’s so corny to say, but the most interesting people are those who like what they like, wear what they want, etc without feeling like they need to justify it to everyone. Nobody is paying close enough attention to you to judge you for half the shit you’re convinced you’re being judged for, I promise.
