#EVERYBODY GET HYPED

[sweetcircuits]

Trick or Treat is underway!!

I have selected all the Trick or Treat assignments and will be reaching out to each participant by the end of the week (Saturday 10/14).

The final deadline for artwork or fic is Saturday, November 4th! This gives you a little over 3 weeks to create your spooky or sweet masterpiece!

This goes without saying, but just in case some of you have never participated in this kind of event before, please keep your identity a secret from your Trick-or-Treat recipient! We want everyone to be surprised at the end of the event!

If you are having trouble with your assignment, please reach out to me! I can contact your Trick-or-Treat recipient on your behalf and get you more info on prompts or OCs! (You also can reach out to them with an anon ask and ask them for more info, but make sure it's anon bc ya gotta keep your secret identity!)

If you need to drop out of the event for any reason, you absolutely can. Life can get crazy. I totally get it. However, you need to let me know if that happens so I can have time to get a backup gifter set up.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to DM or send me an ask.

Again, be respectful of me and your fellow Trick-or-Treaters.

HAVE FUN!!!!

whenever i see people talk about a tlt tv show i can only envision it in your art style

that would be so funny, could you imagine a book accurate retelling of gideon the ninth but it looks like THIS

like they keep the gore and death but it has slapstick comedy and cartoony sound effects, it would be like a really fucked up dexter's lab episode

[fisheito]

I started reading beastars so now HE's reading beastars .wait

THEY'RE reading beastars

[violenteconomics]

okay, I need to get this off my chest—

TWST ANIME WHATTTTT GOD DOES THAT MEAN WE’RE GOING TO GET FIRST-YEARS CONTENT?!?!? (and other content, obvs, but mostly FIRST-YEARS CONTENTTTTTTT)

[shinesurge]

Do animals get Saints? Like a particularly successful termite mound or rabbit warren, would they eventually have a Saint of their own? Do the trees get Saints? The mountains?

I can't find it rn but I KNOW this has come up in the server at some point, beans. Either way I had a really long discussion about this with Lee a while back, who I would argue understands the way KC functions as well as I do, and we determined that since saints are produced by concentrated faith/will from living things trying to accomplish a specific goal that animal instinct should count for something. Their energies are much less potent and organized so it's rarer for anything to come of it, but insect colonies in particular WOULD actually produce their own saints pretty frequently, though they're probably just identical copies of themselves. Rabbit warrens are a good thought too; don't worry, I'm definitely doing something with Creature Saints at some point hehe.

Flora gets a little weirder, because even though we haven't exactly encountered Thinking Trees it's been established that living things (and sometimes nonliving things) very easily serve as conduits for thinking creatures' energy.* we also deal with weirder forms of life on the regular, so even though they might not mean much to humankinds it's very possible the trees are talking to each other, which could theoretically produce a saint type Thing. It might not register to us as a saint in the traditional sense, but nobody in-universe fully understands how this system works anyway so there aren't a lot of rules to follow to begin with, incomprehensible sprawl phenomena isn't anything new.

The reason Lee and I had this talk to begin with was that I do have something specific planned for fungi, which, unlike kc's plants or animals, are much less murky about what kind of life they're classified as.

*part of why commanders are Like This with other humankinds lmao

yet another spitball mephone theory!

OK I've already stated I'm really hoping mephone being the shimmer egg from 3gs is cannon even before we knew there was only 1 egg,

But like

Mephone generated at least parts of the island, we know this, we've seen the island itself change over the course of the seasons

there's giant random structures that look like shimmer eggs! I've been wondering what the heck those things were, and it could be a coincidence, but if mephone4 is the missing shimmer, maybe the giant shimmer patterned structures were a subconscious memory or something that snuck in when mephone was generating the setting!

Another thing, I forget which but in a past stream it was mentioned the shimmer could potentially mess with the contestants for things like inverting their personalities, where fan could potentially become a critic and call out generation errors, hence the joke made of pointing out layering glitches in the background, and although this was scrapped, this could at least explain why the shimmer specifically made fan glitch! Cause they have the same power that allowed mephone to generate the contestants!

True we do know mephone still needs his contestant data and melife support in order to generate anything, hence how cobs is causing perminant deletions, but he's still the only phone who can generate items! No other meeple product could generate real items from nowhere.

Realistically I'm probably just spewing nonsense but ey, we won't know until the final episode, plus I just absolutely love imagining how meohone would react to figuring out he's technically a kidnapped child forced into a body that wasn't his and made to be a disposable product, now in a weird spot where he can't fully fit in with the shimmer, but also can't fit in with other objects, he's stuck in a weird middle ground crisis of not properly fitting anywhere and not even fully sure what or who he is

Also ngl I also love the idea that the shimmer actually are a genuinly loving and supportive family that would gladly welcome mephone back with open arms even if he's been turned into something he shouldn't have been, trying to help him recover from all the conditioning and bad coping mechanisms he gained from his time with cobs and on the show,

You know for a fact mephone would genuinly be surprised and confused about having a father figure whos genuinly proud of him and doesn't hit or berrate him for his failures, and is actually supportive of his interests, dudes just not used to that

Gunman Joe is most likely a hologram and is probably controlled by one of the inventors to stilt the other's progress (and probably not whoever Eggmuffin is, as it appears on top of their building and would probably dissuade Layton and Luke's efforts to connect to Eggmuffin). The voice is probably a voice changer of sorts. I don't think this is the main antagonist though.

The background art is GORGEOUS. And VERY American. I forgot to mark it down on my bingo sheet. SNAILMOBILE AND OSTRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how much are you guys betting that the purple fog is doing some psychological horrors (JOKE)

music bangs as usual RAAAAAAAAAAGH

Ok... I think what was originally making me feel gloomy about the models is solved after seeing the puzzle solved (heh) animation, and I feel a bit more hopeful. The models we see here only have one form of shading as opposed to the NWOS switch teaser or the puzzle solved animation. This game IS early in development so now that makes sense. I mean it looks bad but I think it'll improve. And if not I'll do it myself. Plus the shading in the switch teaser is purple-hued and the shading in-game that we see here is black, which is USUALLY a sign it's still being tweaked around in the background.

The fact that they're STILL aiming for 2025 makes me worried though... The game definitely needs polishing. Realistically delaying it would've been expected at its current stage, but persisting in a 2025 release gives it about a year and a third. Of course Level 5 is known for delaying things all the time so they could just be like "gomen minasama 2026" but... I feel like if they are persisting in a 2025 release... mm... After all of that, the trailer was nice but a bit worrisome. It's obvious now that they're still in development and it's not the final look though! One thing that comes to mind is the crusty Desmond model we saw wayyyy early on in AL's development;

Like. There's still time. I would be especially surprised if the don't at least add a bit of texturing to some of the models (like the texture-baked shaking in luke's hat or desmond's hair). I'm less pessimistic about the 3d model style now especially with its siblings looking as peak as it is (inazuma eleven, decapolice, etc)

That being said, I can't say much about what I'm hoping for until we see the TGS (did you guys forget about TGS /silly), though if it IS coming out in 2025... I hope to god it's like. December or something. I really don't want this to be rushed and with how it looks right now I wouldn't exactly be happy with it. In fact if there is 2d cutscenes I can totally see them saving it up for TGS too just to have something new and exciting rather than the same information we've already seen. Concluding, things are going smoothly, models are still developmental-looking, and I have mixed feelings but it's slowly bouncing back to positive all because of crusty desmond png

[butchdanielmolloy]

normalize um saying yippee and yay and ummm being happy

more pics bc i love myself very much

[mysticalcats]

ok fellas this post is really different from my other stuff so i'm putting it under the cut for people who don't care and also because i'm slightly embarrassed

ok so. is it unusual for a girl to want to have a deep voice and a flat chest and a more square face and also feel slightly jealous of men and want to sound like them and look like them

and also is it unusual to want to be all that, but also simultaneously not be very bothered very much by how you look right now or by being referred to with she/her except for sometimes when you think about it too much. because i usually don't think about it except for sometimes where i suddenly just get really sad about being a girl or i'll always have this faint feeling that i am just unhappy about it

and also is it unusual to try to ignore it and go about your life being unbothered by it even though deep down it does kinda bother you but you can't really. like. say anything to anyone because your family won't react well and neither will your friends because they'll think it's weird and uncomfortable. i feel afraid to ever feel this way because i know the people in my life won't react well to it

so like. genuine question please lmk wtf is goin on because i'm unsure if it's normal and i've felt like this for a long time and it's confusing me and i don't even know what i'm going to do with the information once i know i'm just sort of lost LMAO

[c0smiccom3t]

What do you mean this scene didn't happen in The Crate Escape??

[puhpandas]

its been so long since human content/new content with no book relevancy even the youtubers and theorists like dawko and john are getting restless😭

[eggyolkguzzler]

Need to see how u get down on the dance floor BAD

CHECK OUT THESE SMOOTH MOVES, BRO!

[maculategiraffe]

did anyone see x (2022) and if so can you explain the significance of the repeated line "I will not accept a life I do not deserve." it already doesn't make very much sense coming from a would be movie star but what would a born-again tv preacher possibly mean by saying such a thing. born-agains' entire thing is accepting a life we do not deserve. all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god / I am come that they might have life and have it in abundance. is this just dumb and lazy screenwriting or am I missing something
