looks like Frisk took a wrong turn

Would it be called ProdigyTale or UnderMath? Eh, who knows, but this was fun- might include some other characters later as well

Extremely funny to me that PiglinMyNose's character journey is "Death game with SnifferMyFeet" followed by "Eating pancakes in Decked Out 2" followed by "Tagging after Joel in Hermitcraft Season 10" followed by "Recording murder mystery skits."

Every time NameMC gives us a new PiglinMyNose skin, I just imagine he's busy with his acting work and SnifferMyFeet is sitting in an empty auditorium with a big sign that says '10' and he's like "WOO-HOO! Yeah! I know him!"

He would probably do this if Joel's intro skits were a live theater performance too. And he'd be dragged out by other Hermits while kicking and yelling.

Later you find out he's sprawled atop the concessions bar just idly kicking his feet and waiting for the show to finish. He misses his friend.

i have never played or seen anything of outer wilds (game) and im just now watching someone play it and i keep thinking like .. man .. the sonau could have been something like that in totk, like even the architecture of the nomai in OW looks similar - very angular and mostly off-white green and gold, the name nomai is similar to the english translation for the sonau (zonai), the only(?) somewhat living one of the old and gone people is called solanum which reminds me of sonau and the ore sonanium (engl. zonaite), heck the nomai are goat like looking people with three eyes and use a highly advanced but little understood tech that you need to discover!!! they got swirly patterns alot! they even fuck up some time stuff!!

and im not saying nintendo copied them or something, the general idea isnt something all too unique (as no ideas are) but some of the similarities (like highly advanced in tech three eyed goat people that have a white and green/gold color scheme) do just make me sad bc i keep thinking about thats how the sonau could have been (minus the space stuff but moreso the VIBES and theme, game design aorund them!!), the way its done in OW is so neat, also i love that you cant understand them without a tool and you cant really communicate with them in turn like either! like the fact that there is not even a hint of a language barrier to the sonau in totk is like??? especially given the time span that is supposed to be between the past and the present in totk, not being able to clearly communicate would have been a really good and rather easy way to make the sonau more mysterious! even if you gave them subtitles that translated their language later on it would still make them feel a little more ancient

... actually ..its even worse .. in totks present theres only few people that can translate the text of the sonau, so the idea is there .. but how is zelda able to talk to them no problem? and rauru with you also mineru you could argue its bc they spent a long time as ghosts on the islands or in the shiek- purah pad but neither of them had any contact to the surface so that doesnt work, zelda teaching it to them also doesnt work bc that would take time she doesnt have and she literally talks to them all normally the literal first time they even meet ... it just being bc the hylian language never changed somehow so rauru and mineru just talk hylian is ...... the most boring answer tbh, not even slightly different manner of speech? over all that time? not some sort of accent?? even some of the old zora got one in botw (at least in german .. then again they also removed dumsda (engl. hudson) quirky way to talk ..... ), nothing? no??

it kinda plays into the whole lot that is a big problem with totk imo, the idea is there or even mentioned but its either not acted upon, never adressed or answered the most boring way

Coda and Ichor! (Catacombtale Style!)

These two don't have a *ton* of interaction in the Main story, but since Ichor and Balance are the only two characters I've fully designed, Coda gets stuck next to him, haha!

BONUS art jumpscare:

These two actually exist in another project I'm working on too called Codex, which is basically just removing the UT aspects of Catacombtale and doing a lot more worldbuilding and character design!

Coda is older in Codex and is marked by an old God (which should get him jailed or killed, as it means for everyone else) but he hides it for years and years before he finally flees the complex he's living in to go confront the gods and stop their destructive path. Meanwhile Ichor is much the same, only he's much more ready and willing to help Coda without much prompting. Here he's also sort of a Koi Fish! (His brother is a Betta Fish)

Raffles' Great Game and Bunny's heart

After a long weekend, Easter, a trip, a storm, a blackout (!), no mobile signal (!!) and an April's Fools special (!!!) I finally have time to read Gentlemen and Players, thanks to my dear friend Bunny.

I learnt a bit more about cricket but it still hard to understand. I need to see some videos to understand more because it isn't a popular sport on this side of the world. What I really understand is the interesting dinamic between Raffles and Bunny.

Raffles is the mastermind behind every crime. He's the one with the intelligence and experience. In this story we see how Raffles plans this burglary with every detail, he takes his time to train Bunny and to observe the people gathered for the game. He keeps his mind cool but his sportmanship blooms when he knows there's another buglar in the place and AJ gets more excited. This is a chance to learn and to improve from another thieves and the presence of a detective makes everything spicier.

"You're quite right, Bunny. I won't. I really won't. Yet—you saw old Lady Melrose's necklace? I've been wanting it for years! But I'm not going to play the fool; honor bright, I'm not; yet—by Jove!—to get to windward of the professors and Mackenzie too! It would be a great game, Bunny, it would be a great game!"

Bunny, being a rookie buglar, still has some problems with the anxiety during the event and has some problems lying. Also he's not a good cricketer like Raffles but at least he tries. Manders can get paralysed some seconds, but still springs into action when is necessary:

But I stood like a fool until the pair of them backed into me, when, with a deep breath I flung myself on the fellow, whose face I had seen at last. 

Bunny's mind is so centered on Raffles that he doesn't take time to observe the other assistants, and his infatuation with Raffles blinds partially his moral and sense of justice so it's not a surprise to see Bunny happy for being "in the right side" for once.

I just love this beautiful contrast between Raffles and Bunny even when they both are thieves because they need money. For Raffles buglary is like a great game, a sport, something to show off his skills and keep his mind working. For Bunny it's a chance to do something exciting and dangerous with Raffles, something that makes him feel anxious and squeeze his heart but he enjoys being Raffles' loyal squire as always.

i can always tell when a dragon age fan has only ever played as a lavellan inquisitor and never bothered playing a qunari or dwarf inquisitor run based on how they talk about solas
