Posting the new refs for the main protagonist of the Au and some info below:

Ariel (Skitty) - An ex-human who woke up in the body of an skitty with no memories of who he was. Being saved and dragged by a pikachu into becoming a explorer team with her, maybe she can learn to warm up to her and be friends somehow.

Ruby (Pikachu) - A young blind pikachu with dreams of living up her father's legacy and becoming a great explorer and becoming the guildmaster. The only problem is that she doesn't have a partner to do so, but one day on the beach said otherwise.

Thomas (Rowlet) - A young rowlet who left his hometown to find purpose in his life and change things for the better. After working for months in the mail, he gets the offer of joining an explorer team. Maybe now he can finally find courage and strength.

Welcome 양띵 to the QSMP!

I know that the current state of the QSMP is a bit iffy and many may not feel comfortable watching QSMP right now (valid response), but I still feel like a warm welcome to these new Korean creators is still needed regardless as they are being introduced to an international community, which is a very scary thing ngl.

So welcome 양띵 or Yangdding who will be one of the new Korean CCs!

She streams on CHZZK and her channel can be found here.

Her Youtube can be found here.

Fun fact: She was the first YouTuber in Korea to reach 1 million view and is considered to be the one to create the foundation for Korean Minecraft content.

Weird thing that bothered me about Rebirth and I want to hear other people's thoughts.

Um... Why did they gentrify Gongaga? I can't be the only one who feels cheated by the chummy suburban development vibe in Rebirth.

OG Gongaga is an isolated village deep in a jungle. It's possible to completely miss the first chance to visit, because it's practically unheard of. All the young folks fled to the big city. A reactor blew up and killed most of the inhabitants, leaving the town in a state of decay. The houses are falling apart, the people are desperate, it's derelict and miserable.

An understated theme in the OG is how life is difficult without modern technology. Avalanche sets out to destroy these reactors without considering the consequences for their own futures, thinking "well it won't be easy but i'm sure it'll be fine." Gongaga is the story's way of showing you just how fine everything is going to be— despite being in a lush rainforest, long since violently cut off from Shinra's influence, these people still suffer immensely.

I wanted to see it in hd so bad honestly. The splintered rotting wood, the furskin rugs, the dirty brick walls. The unspoken yet unignorable trauma. The mournful purple twilight that quietly hangs over the whole village. I wanted to see the survivors' spiteful determination to make things work without mako.

Instead we got a squeaky clean Crisis Core rendition of Gongaga, with its down-to-earth upbeat stardew valley soundtrack and generic hard workin' country folk. The houses are like... twice the size i expected them to be. Neat and tidy, no holes in the roofs, no dishevelled interiors. No sign of struggle. Everybody is content at worst.

The reactor may as well have never exploded. Nobody talks about it. We hear some bullshit about Shinra trying to "make amends" or compensate people for the damages, and that's about it. Apparently everybody's just fine with this, because all of the original version's resentment and grief is gone.

Don't even get me started on the barker stationed at the town entrance. "Come experience nature's bounty!" Man... why are we treating it like a goddamn hippy tourist attraction. OG Gongaga would have had someone knock this kid's teeth out.

Idk I'm just sad. The melancholy is what made Gongaga so memorable despite its bump-in-the-road identity. I wish we could have gotten that instead of one big callback to CC.

Info from shinobi602 on DA:TV's CC:

"Character Creator I'll start by touching on the character creator. To sum it up as concisely as I can, and I've played plenty of games - Veilguard's custom character creator is very likely the most robust that I've seen in a game. There is a ridiculous amount of options for you to pick from. The expected stuff like head shape, skin complexion, eyes, nose, hair, etc, are all there, but there's so, so much more. Head shape is done by morphing and blending multiple models together out of 30 available head types. You can select from over 42 different skin complexions ranging from young to smooth, freckled to weathered and so much more. You can give yourself a double chin and adjust the size of your larynx. You can make yourself as fat, lean or buff as you'd like, customize body proportions like height, chest size, shoulder width, and the size of your ass or package. Yeah. You can adjust your scalp in over 9 different ways, your eyes in 10 different ways, the colors of your sclera, inner/middle/outer irises, give yourself bloodshot eyes or cataracts, and pick among dozens of options to adjust your nose. There's 90 different hairstyles, 44 facial hair styles, tons of makeup options, tattoos across your body, scars and on and on. It's an almost overwhelming amount of customization and something that I can see people lose tons and TONS of hours in. I can't wait to see the kinds of Rooks players make. I also messed around with some of the different races like the dwarf and Qunari. Dwarves look suitably...Dwarven hah. Some of the wilder, more exotic hairstyles and beards go especially nice with them. I dabbled a bit with a Qunari character as well. I've seen the comments and some of the clips of 'smooth faced' Qunari. I'll say that they do appear more humanized this time around compared to Inquisition, where they were already more humanized from Dragon Age 2. It's a difficult line to thread, as since this is an RPG with a customizable protagonist and tens of thousands of lines of dialogue, it makes sense that the developers had to make some compromises so things like bone structure, jaw movement, placement of facial features, etc all are adjustable into a certain window. The result is a more humanized look, but I also I've included a bit of myself toying around and making something that wasn't so 'smooth'. One thing I'd advise is to flatten that forehead! Take a look at my Qunari at the end of the video here. Since I spent a solid 45 minutes in the character, I've edited it down into a shorter video and sped it up. I hope it gives a good idea of all the options."

So guys i have a comic now 👍

As the life from the world slowly drains away, an human pokemon wakes up in the middle of a storm, with no memories of who she is or what she is doing there. Confused an lost, she ends up making a deal with an pikachu: they both form an explorer team together, and the pikachu helps with her amnesia. Sounds like a pretty fair deal, right?

------------------------X--------------------------

WARNING!!⚠️⚠️: This comic contains topics such as blood/violence, death, minor language, mental health issues

[astronomodome]

Personally I find it hilarious and frustrating that I am Very Bad at everything on mcci Except for dynaball, which I am inexplicably cracked at

[freakinator]

it ffascinates me how the post cmc fandom perception of boundaries work cause personally speaking if i were a cc literally everything would be a boundary cause i wouldnt want anything transformative to come out of my work ever whether it be fanart, fanfic, analysis, liveblogging, etc cause that feels intrusive as hell and in that scenario what would my theoretical fans even do aside from mindless consumption?? cry about it ig????

[anarchy-and-piglins]

On that same note: I MISS TECHNOBLADE

Not gonna watch the Mario Movie until at least next week (It's Semana Santa over here, kids are outta school, people don't give a damn about still respecting COVID restrictions and people are incredibly annoying about being the first to watch something as if it's not worth a damn otherwise.) so here's papá luchón Toadsworth with his fruit spawn from my Momotaro!Peach AU in the meantime.

[saruin]

man ok i’ve got so many spoiler tags blocked and the effect instead is that i know Some things are going on but don’t have the full context. but i don’t want to get rid of my filters to understand what everyone else is talking abt because there’s other stuff i want to keep hidden yknow. and i obviously don’t have any way to tell what blocked posts are unimportant enough to look at

[thedeafprophet]

if i just get a little something for each of the trio in the update ill be happy
