Iomoru’s Halloween Special 2024 | Part. 1
Tumblr media
➢ 𝐀/𝐧: It's better late than never ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ (I also changed my writing style bc it looked so ugly..) (Check other parts on "Iomoru'sHalloweenSpecial2024" tag!)
➢ 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: Modern! Au, Halloween! Au, Fluff, Gn! Reader, Mondstadt Boys x Reader, Second Person, Proofread
➢ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐬: Albedo, Bennett, Diluc, Kaeya, Mika, Razor, Venti
➢ 𝐒𝐲𝐩𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬: How they would spend Halloween with their s/o
© ²⁰²⁴ ɪᴏᴍᴏʀᴜ ✰ do not repost, translate, plagiarize, use to train ai, or share my work on other social media platforms.
Tumblr media
Albedo:
Albedo would suggest going to a Halloween-themed science museum exhibit, where the two of you can explore spooky experiments and interactive displays. He gets engrossed in explaining the science behind the haunting illusions, holding your hand as he leads you through the dimly lit halls. By the end of the night, he surprises you with a little Halloween-inspired art piece he sketched while waiting for you to finish reading one of the displays.
Tumblr media
Bennett:
Bennett’s idea of a perfect Halloween is an adventurous night in a haunted corn maze! He’s a bit jittery and tends to cling to you as you navigate through each turn, laughing it off whenever he stumbles. He’s full of bright energy and encourages you to brave every scare. By the time you both make it out, he’s all smiles, thrilled that he could share this lucky experience with you.
Tumblr media
Diluc:
Diluc would invite you to his place for a cozy Halloween movie marathon, setting up a blanket fort for the ultimate comfort. He tries to keep things relaxed, though he does bring out some artisanal pumpkin-spiced treats and hot cider that he made himself. As the evening goes on, he enjoys watching you react to the movies more than the films themselves, offering his shoulder when a scary scene catches you off guard.
Tumblr media
Kaeya:
Kaeya has an eye for thrill, so he’d take you to a costume party, dressing up in a suave vampire outfit that looks almost too fitting. He keeps you entertained with witty comments and sneaky little challenges throughout the night, daring you to try every Halloween-themed snack or to join him on the dance floor. You end up laughing so much that, by the end of the night, you can’t tell if the party or Kaeya was the real attraction.
Tumblr media
Mika:
Mika would nervously suggest going to a pumpkin patch with you, eager to share a fun, classic Halloween experience. He’s a bit shy but lights up when he finds the perfect pumpkin and insists on helping you pick yours. Afterward, he gets excited about the idea of carving them together, carefully designing his pumpkin’s face and stealing glances at yours to see your progress, cheeks pink from how happy he is to spend the day with you.
Tumblr media
Razor:
Razor is new to Halloween traditions, so you take him trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, both of you dressed in simple costumes. He’s enchanted by the entire experience, from the spooky decorations to the candy he collects, proudly showing you his haul after each house. By the end of the night, he offers you some of his candy as thanks, his face lighting up every time you laugh or compliment his howling wolf costume.
Tumblr media
Venti:
Venti would surprise you with tickets to a Halloween karaoke event, where you both dress up in wild costumes. He belts out spooky songs with flair, getting the crowd excited and pulling you onstage for a duet. His laughter is infectious, and by the end of the night, you’re both breathless from singing and dancing. He’s all smiles as he wraps an arm around you, joking about how the two of you stole the show as the ultimate Halloween duo.

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 5
The Eleventh Doctor is called the Anti-Squid. It means he is the Devil of the Space Squid Religion.
Kovarian taught the assassins she raised to refer to the Doctor as the Demon and the sound the TARDIS makes as the Demon's roar.
The Eighth Doctor has a tattoo of a man turning into a jaguar.
Grace Holloway eventually worked in a MI6 sponsored genetics lab to test the substance the Master had spat at her during the TV Movie in the hopes of creating a Time Lord-human hybrid capable of regeneration. Unfortunately, the Master had at the time been a Deathworm Morphant, and her associate became a Morphant-human hybrid. The Doctor chastised her for this.
Speaking of experiments involving regeneration, the Forge was an intelligence organization that did all sorts of experiments, including Project: Lazarus. This operation was designed to discover how regeneration worked.
Nyssa collapses in Four to Doomsday and exhibited psychic powers in Time-Flight. This is because Kwundaar, a pre-universe being who had originally created the Source, chose her for his manipulations because she was a Traken native who had left the union.
The Fourth Doctor took Liz Shaw on adventures for a little while.
The First Doctor also tried to kill the would-be dictator as a baby. While queuing up to see the baby at the christening, he dropped the knife he had been planning on using to kill them. Annoyed with his clumsiness, he left with Susan.
Runcible was a hall monitor in the Academy who had mutual bad blood with the Doctor and his friends. He would one day be literally stabbed in the back by the Master.
Borusa taught the Doctor when they were young to fear the regenerative process.
Clara Oswald's mother died on the same day as the Auton Invasion in the episode Rose.
Not all TARDISes are capable of flight.
While being affected by the Gommen Machine, K9 thought that he was a stuntman and that Nyssa was his daughter.
After Nyssa and the Fifth Doctor were splintered in time and trapped in a time bubble, they became something akin to psychic vampires, eating the memories of the villagers nearby.
Anzor was a school bully at the Academy who used a torture device called a galvaniser on his classmates. He would most notably torment the Doctor, using this device and making him do his navigational homework because he wasn't smart enough to do so. The Sixth Doctor was still terrified of Anzor, trying to hide from him when they met.
The Sixth Doctor believed that the Third Doctor had an unusual dress sense.
The Third Doctor was able to control his pheromones to communicate with the Builders, which resembled eight inch slugs.
The TARDIS kitchen restocks itself every morning.
Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

✶ Bliss ✶
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✶ Pairing: model!minho x model!chubby!fem!reader, model!hyunjin x model!chubby!fem!reader
✶ Genre: fluff, angst, smut
✶ Summary: Weeks of being caught between your two lovers, sitting idly by as your heart battles your head, must come to an end. You have to decide once and for all which door to leave open and which to close forever.
✶ Word Count: 2k-ish
Tumblr media
✶ Warnings: a lil possessiveness, reader's getting over some insecurities, heartbreak, oral sex (f receiving), some strong language
✶ A/N: This is the last of a three-part series. You can find 🖤 part one here 🖤 It took me a bit to finish this because life was doing its thing but I'm happy with how it turned out so I hope you lovelies enjoy it!
Tumblr media
You should’ve never come here. You should’ve stayed as far away from this man as possible. But there’s no use crying over spilled milk. The reality is that you didn’t stay away. Hyunjin called and you came now you’re coming around his fingers, allowing yourself to be claimed once more by the lust filled demons of your past. And, oh, what a glorious one he is...
Tumblr media
As he lulls you down from your high with gentle kisses along your neck, you await the intoxicating afterglow you’re accustomed to. Only there is no glow in the "after". It's dark and empty, Hyunjin’s words echoing through your mind on a loop.
“He can’t have you. I won’t let him.”
It was such a rush the first time you realized how badly Hyunjin wanted you. He’d confessed to you front row at a fashion show. To anyone watching there was nothing notable about the quick whisper in your ear or the brushing of his hand across your knee. They couldn't fathom the way such small gestures had turned your world upside down.
You felt so special. Special enough to let him see you in secret with promises that one day you’d go public. Make things official. Be a real couple. Finally have the love story you dreamt of. 
“He can’t have you. I won’t let him.”
The undertone of toxic possessiveness sours the nostalgia sweetening this reunion, bringing you to a realization that has somehow eluded you up to this point. In his eyes, you’ll always be a thing. A precious thing, his absolute favorite thing, but always you belonging to him and never him to you. This is not your fairytale and he is not your prince.
“This can’t happen again” you sigh, pressing your hands to his chest to create distance between you. Hyunjin scoffs, rolling his eyes at the foolishness of such a statement, “Will you say that next time too?” You could go back and forth with him, exchanging verbal jabs until he beats you into submission, but it’d be for nothing. 
“Take care of yourself, Hyunjin.” You smooth out your dress and throw your jacket back on, pushing past him with an indifference no one’s ever shown him before. Give him your love. Give him your hate. He can find a way to work with either one. Your indifference, on the other hand, is alien to him. It’s a savagely forged blade to his gut, slicing him open and leaving him to bleed out in the halls of his own exhibit.
“So you love him more? Is that it?” he calls out, catching you before you disappear forever. You pause, searching for the most honest answer that you can offer. “I love me more,” you say, shocked by your own words, “at least I want to love me more, and I need someone who makes that easy for me.”
“And he does?”
“Yes, actually, very much.” 
Thoughts of Minho wrap around you like a warm, fuzzy blanket making you crave his presence. Wherever he is, doing business in Seoul or on a shoot in LA, you want to be there. “Hyunjin, honey, people are pulling up!” his manager, a sharply dressed older woman in designer glasses, announces strutting through the doors. You peek outside to see how right she is. His adoring public is already arriving, ready to file in and shower him with enough affection to last a lifetime.
Not that any of it will ever be enough. Not when the only one who matters is about to walk out of his life. His manager looks you up and down, trying to figure out what the hell you’re doing here. “I didn’t know we were opening early” she quips, cutting her eyes at you. “I’m leaving, actually.” “Oh, what a shame.” Hyunjin interrupts, nearly knocking into his manager to get to you, “See you around sometime?” “I'm sure you will.”
Waving goodbye to his manager before she sets you on fire with her mind, you throw yourself back out into the cold autumn night. As the door of the gallery shuts behind you, so does the door leading back to what you shared with Hyunjin. You know without question where your heart is. It’s not with him anymore and it never will be again.
Tumblr media
“You want me to go hiking?” you ask, smiling politely at the waiter setting your plate down in front of you. “Thank you” Minho nods to the departing waiter before turning his attention back to you, “Yes, you. We can spend the whole weekend hiking and camping. It’ll be nice to get away, don’t you think?” You’ve never seen Minho this excited about anything. He may not show it on the outside but that little twinkle in his eye gives away how passionate he is about the trip and how much it'd mean to him if you came along.
Next week will be the first time in a while that you'll both be free of your hectic schedules and all he wants is to be with you. Of course, you want the same thing, even if you run the risk of being eaten alive by bugs in the process. “I think it’ll be wonderful” you agree, twirling food onto your fork, “Let’s do it. I’ve always wanted to wrestle a bear.” Minho nearly spits his drink out laughing, “Who said you had to wrestle a bear?” You grab a napkin, reaching across the table to wipe the wine from his chin.
“That’s what you do when you go camping right? Forage for food. Wrestle bears. Challenge mountain lions to a foot race. Survival show stuff.” Minho can’t find the words to explain how completely wrong that is, he’s too busy trying to keep it together in front of the other diners. Osteria Francescana is one of those restaurants that's impossible to get a reservation at unless you know someone. They won’t even put you in their book if you don’t meet the standards for their elite clientele.
It’s always made Minho uncomfortable to be in places like this. As gorgeous as it is, with its fancy menu and candlelit dining room, it’s not really his scene but tonight it has to be. He wants to ask you something. Something that has him nervous enough that he couldn’t touch his food if he wanted to. He thought that getting dressed up and taking you out on a romantic date might give him the courage to say it but he's quickly learned that it makes no difference. You scare the hell out of him all the same.
“Have you thought about us?” he asks, forcing himself to get it over with. You sense that something’s off. Not knowing what, you proceed with caution. “Thought about us as in...” Minho clears his throat, fidgeting with his rings. “Being together. Just me and you. I know that Hyunjin—” “Hyunjin isn’t anything to me,” you say, refusing to let him go any further. You knew that this would come up eventually. Minho never pressed you about your history with Hyunjin. He never asked if you still saw him or forced you to open up about your feelings but he was bound to get curious. It's only natural.
Maybe he’s been avoiding it, too afraid of what the truth might be, but there’s nothing to worry about. Not in the slightest. You lock eyes with him, taking his hand, “I love you, Minho. You’re the only one I want. I've known that for a while. I just didn’t wanna rush you.” Correction, talking about the camping trip isn’t the most excited you’ve ever seen him. This is. His ears are turning red and he can’t stop himself from smiling no matter how hard he tries.
“Rush me? No. I love you too. I always wanted—I do want—will you be my girlfriend?” “I’d love to be your girlfriend.” You rub your cheeks to chase away the tingly feeling coming over them. He asked you, he really asked you. Instead of stringing you along with only the hope of something serious, he went for it. It heals your wounded heart, wipes away some deep seated pain, to know that he loves you the way that you love him.
“We should do something to celebrate. What do you think?” “Hmm,” you muse, one of your high heels skimming the inside of his leg. Minho tilts his head to the side, glancing under the table and back up at you with a mischievous look on his face. “I wasn’t talking about that.” you scold, realizing too late what you’ve started, "Get your mind out of the gutter. No!"
Tumblr media
Teetering on the edge of the black marble sink, you have to bite down on your lip to keep from making noise. Sneaking away from your table had been easier than you thought. No one seemed to notice you walking off to the bathroom or Minho slipping in behind you a few minutes later. You don’t know what’s gotten into you. You shouldn’t be doing this and that’s precisely why it feels so damn good to do it.
Any worries you have about getting caught disappear when you feel the warmth of Minho’s mouth pressed against your core. He catches himself humming at the taste of you as he licks up one side and down the other. Repeating it until your clit’s stiff and twitching, begging for his attention. He flicks his tongue against your clit just enough to get a reaction out of you. You run your fingers through the soft strands of his chestnut hair, tugging at it to signal that you want more.
Kissing the plush of your inner thighs, he spreads you wider to admire the beauty of you being so drenched and needy when he's barely done anything to you at all. Slowly, he dips the tip of his tongue into you, swirling it in circles just beyond your entrance. “Please” you whine, melodic and low. Minho grins at how adorable you are. “So cute.” You grab onto the sides of the sink, fighting for control of your trembling body. “Shit, why do you taste so good? Hmm?” he pants, diving back in for more.
A moan escapes your lips, the pleasure too intense to contain. You shove your fingers into your mouth, a desperate attempt at blocking the next one but it only works for a short time. Before you know it you’re drooling around your fingers, moaning between rapid, shallow breaths. Knowing that he needs to work quickly to avoid suspicion, he devours you with the hunger he should've had for his dinner. But you're so much tastier than anything this restaurant could offer him.
The wilder he laps at you, the wetter you are, and the more of you he needs. Nothing has to be said for him to know when you're close to your peak. Your body gives you away every time. Minho takes your hands, his fingers intertwined with yours, steadying you as the tension snaps, leaving you clenching around his tongue. A sensation of pure bliss radiates through your body as he holds his pace, stopping only when you're too overstimulated to take anymore.
Standing up, he brings you into his arms and rests his head on your shoulder. He holds you lovingly, not expecting a thing. To him, you’re the most precious woman, his absolute favorite, and at last, you belong to each other. It means everything to bask in this moment—in any moment—with you. You close your eyes, kissing him on the forehead, bathing in the ethereal glow of the “after”.
This is your fairytale and he is your prince.

Things I brought today (mostly at the SE exhibition) and some opinions about the whole experience
I couldn’t get everything I wanted I over estimated how much cash I’ll need to have with me so I’ll probably will go again tomorrow
Which is the last day so I need to go early…
I also couldn’t get that one frame magnet I wanted…volume 5 my dads….no… I’ll….I have no choice but to get the whole set just to get them guaranteed cuz I cant go back to the shopping area onceI exit the shop 😭
And its all sold out in the second hand listings on mercari jp ,…hope the whole box is somewhat affordable
Anyway…if I get doubles, yall know how to dm me ;3
Also I got the kid ,liz and patty shikishi as you can see and I only hope to get soul and maka tomorrow cuz its so expensive on mercari I wont be paying 3000 yen just for a shikishi no waaay
WAIT
I FORGOT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I got the only cute exhibition keychain because ohkubo gave them very questionable angled illustrations which didnt translate well in merchs in my opinion ESPECIALLY on the acrylic stands they look nightmare fuels, but crona is fine (I sense some favoritism ngl) patty was cute too actually but I was on a budget
Anddd I got the badges from blind bags so its all gacha I like crona though Im happy and I will give the tsubaki one to a friend.
There were two entry tickets one was 2500 yen as standart
And the other was 3000 yen with limited goods which was this wristband , I think for 500 yen more it was worth it I might get another one tomorrow with entrance its high quality and soft
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly if you brought anything over 5000yen total you get this bag, but you wont get a double for every 5000 you buy, quickly learned since I spended around 11k with some goods I picked for my friend, so if anyone is interested in going to the Osaka venue, just so you know if you go with a friend you may wanna pay separately if you want a bag for every each one of you
Also tip from me: dont be stupid like me and bring more money with you if theres something you want that is not guaranteed and is in a blind bag…cuz the chances of you getting lucky is not reliable and if you are as desperate as me you’ll pay for another entrance😭😭😭
Especially cuz you cant go back there if it turns out you didn’t get what you wanted, you’ll need another ticket so…buying the box seems more worth it (only if you need and want something absolutely that you’ll go that far) (actually its not a super big deal for badges and limited shikishi boards and cards since there aren’t many designs. But the mangets…they have 16 designs so it is pricey)
Now as for the exhibition hall itself, most things were okay to photograph and its consisted of mostly manga panels and official arts,there were cool cut outs and giant volume covers on the walls. seeing the panels upclose was interesting especially cuz I do comics as well and aspire to do it professionally in the future
But I guess the coolest experience is that they fully voice acted a certain chapter from the manga (didn’t finish it yet so I don’t know which) but it was so cool cuz it was all newly voiced (manga only duh) and the visuals were in a dynamic video edited pretty well, there were some live 2d just a little but it was there, it was not allowed to film that there which gives me hope that they will upload it to socials after the exhibition fully ends nationwide. But you never know
(italso gave me hope for a possible remake but I don’t wanna get my hopes up)
Anyway I might make a google drive with everything I took pictures of later , Im kinda tired today
but I wanna say to those who have high expectations for this exhibition
don’t expect something revolutionary.unfortunately it was mostly manga pages displayed (the giant official art were cool though cuz you could see more details of them) and as for props, aside from some decorations hanging from the walls and cielings here and there there was a shinigami sama cut out and the mirror, but thats about it) so definitely a little underwhelming for a 20th anniversary exhibition , at least from my expectations
Tumblr media
I enjoyed it because I like Soul Eater and Im pretty hyperfixated on it right now, but that doesn’t keep me away from criticizing it and I do just that CUZ I LIKE SOUL EATER
there were so many things they could do and honestly for 20th anniversary it was pretty small and the exclusive merchandise was just… meh??? especially the illustrations made specifically for the Exhibition itself (which wasn’t even that much just the main 3 duo/trio’s) Honestly I have to say Im quite disappointed with Ohkubo it seemed like he didn’t give his all designing the illustrations. they didn’t even performed well as various types of goods and ,sure, he made a design and its not that bad , but he could at least draw them again with no weird angling that only looks okay in a promotional poster, aside from that, you know the magnets are made from previously made official arts and manga covers, there were some cool stuff like kid’s skateboard and Soul’s jacket but those are made to order and you can’t even get them there at the time,
NOT TO MENTION THIS SUPER COOL ART WAS NI WHERE TO BE FOUND AT THE GOODS SHOP IT IS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO ME!!
Tumblr media
A mini acrylic stand of this could be sooo cool 😭😭😖
The nuis are cool it was well overdue I hope they will make more characters in the future they should capitalize on them a bit more
Tote bags , hoodies and such were something to be expected from exhibitions like this Im not really impressed but they were nice as designs
But my opinion is set, they could’ve done so much more for this exhibition and it was a little underwhelming so only consider attending if you like to see official arts and manga panels up close, and if you like to interact with very limited props and watching the exclusive manga voice acting (to me that alone is worth to visit ngl) and of course the goods, only if you’re interested in
I do some theories why this exhibition was the way it is I mainly think, the budget was set and it was not much to do more than what we got especially considering the made to order goods, but it gives me hope, even after 20 years I think Soul Eater as a series is still profitable and I hope this exhibition does well enough for the higher ups to consider making more things in the future
Thats all from Shining today :3

Riddle watches New Wish - Post #2
Episode begin! Title card gives us Hazel with wings, so I'm liking where this is going. Gives me "Mile In My Shoes" vibes, and this 100% sounds like a first wish a kid would make.
Tumblr media
Cosmo and Wanda are on their 4th godkid in a row with damaged teeth (though in Crocker's defense, his changed later). I was going to say "bold move for giving Hazel the same teeth design as Chloe," but I'm pretty sure Chloe just has a chip, not an entire missing one.
omfg HARTMANVERSE HAS A BROWN-EYED CHARACTER!!!! We get them on occasion (I think some of the classmates in "Bunsen Is a Beast" had them, I think Willy Moore and maybe the tall girl?), but they are SO RARE and now we have a MAIN CHARACTER!
Usually, purple or pink is subbed in instead, even for humans (Exhibit Flappy Bob). Oh, this is exciting. This makes my heart happy.
!!! The title card !!! has Cosmo and Wanda with their OG designs! Even though they have new outfits now! That is super clever, and they're starting us off by giving us Hazel in FOP style too, for the card. That's fun.
Let's begin!
Tumblr media
Oh, heckin' yes, we're gettin' a townhouse! Or... whatever this building is. I am already excited about writing 'fics about that roof.
Waxing crescent moon! I am already back on my moon obsession. But oh no, they put stars in it.
Oh, that is a bold move giving Hazel a toy named Rhonda when Wanda's about to enter the scene.
WAIT I KNOW HIM!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
... Okay, it's not the same cat, but I was very close (and yes, I have this in my files; I have a Francis-centric work that's been in my drafts a few years, though I'm not sure I'll get to it at this point).
I am FASCINATED with the possibility that the photos depict characters in 2D while their bodies are 3D. Jimmy Neutron is gonna lose his FLIPPIN' MIND.
Who is Hazel's VA, do I know her...? /Looked her up- I've seen a few of the relevant media, but I wouldn't have nailed her down in this first sentence.
She's a sibling! Oh, finally... Only rarely do we get siblings in the Hartmanverse. I was so robbed by Mikey's clones in "Mikeyplication." When we saw the sneak peek of geeky Mikey, I thought there was a chance.
Plot twist, Antony pulls a Katty Katswell and shows up for a face-off.
I'm liking the direction this is going for Hazel having a lot of big life changes: Just moved to a new place AND just said bye to her big brother who's gone off to college.
Hazel talks to herself exactly the style I do, I love her.
SLKDFJSDKLFJS she does Chloe's classic squint, I love that for her.
Her first hypothetical wish (before fairies show up) is unlimited wishes. Oh, Jorgen's gonna love you.
Her dad calls her Hazelnut :)
crying, this poor girl wants to see her brother so bad that she thinks he's "visiting early" even though there's no possible way that's true.
Note to self, Hazel's room is last in the hall, to the right, with... wow, that's a lot of doors around her.
Oh thank GOODNESS we got lightswitches. Hey why are the doorknobs so low. Is that how they build them in this universe of chronically tiny children?
OH! Mom's outfit is reminiscent of Timmy's mom's! I like that. Wow, this family loves colorful shoes. Yeah, you goofballs must be new here. We don't do that in FOP.
T'was an apartment! Not a townhouse.
First Cosmo and Wanda sighting!! I paused instantly, but Wanda's definitely gonna point out that Cosmo has his crown still up. Hers has gone down for human disguise.
And OH YEAH, BABY! We get a back view of their hair? This is the show that keeps on giving.
Tumblr media
Time for a Post #3!

Stepping Backwards a Bit (or 24)
I was looking for a simpler project. My recent 68030 work has been challenging and really pushing the limits of what I can do. I wanted something I could work on, but perhaps where someone else has already worked out the hardest parts.
I find laying out PCBs to be rather relaxing. It's one of those repetitive, almost meditative tasks, like needlepoint or whittling. The kind of hobby where I can turn on some music or a comfortable old TV show, zone out for a few hours, and wake up to this new thing that I created.
Debugging however is very mentally taxing, and the design work required to have a functional schematic to create a PCB for is an active whole-mind prices. So what I really needed was an existing project I could design a board for.
Enter [Grant Searle]. If you're not familiar with [Grant Searle], he has excellent designs for breadboard computers with a very minimal parts count. I studied his minimal Z80 design when I was first starting to build my own computers and learned a lot from it. I highly recommend his work for anyone who is interested in learning how to build their own computer but doesn't know where to start.
I was recently given a Rockwell 6502 CPU pulled from a dead LED marquee. I've never actually worked with 6502, so this seemed like a good time to try building Grant's 8-chip (or 7-chip) 6502 computer.
A few hours later, I had a PCB design completed, gerbers generated, and an order placed. Less than $5 for 5 boards, including shipping. A couple weeks later they arrived in the mail.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did end up making a few modifications to [Grant]'s design. Instead of a clock circuit made from a discrete crystal and a couple inverter gates, I used a TTL oscillator because I've always found them to be more reliable. I also added support for an FTDI USB Serial adapter chip so that the board can be used with a modern computer as a terminal. And finally, since a PCB is much harder to add new components to relative to a solderless breadboard, I added an expansion header. All of it wrapped up in a compact PCB with lots of helpful silkscreen marking.
Tumblr media
I realized after I had ordered the PCBs that the 16kB ROM chips [Grant] used are no longer manufactured or readily available. I have plenty of 8kB EEPROM chips on hand however. Thankfully the OSI BASIC interpreter [Grant] ported to this design fits within 8kB, so I was able to make a few adjustments and re-assemble it to work with the ROM chips I have on hand.
After a small glitch with my EEPROM programmer, it works!
Tumblr media
It's quite a change going from my 33MHz+ 68030 to this tiny 6502 running at just under 2MHz. The BASIC text-based Mandelbrot renderer that completes in seconds on my 68030 takes four and a half minutes on the 6502. Not bad at all, considering my bus-impaired 68000 build takes 9 minutes to do the same.
This was a fun little project. It was a nice little break from some of the more difficult projects I've been working on. I have shared the project on GitHub for anyone who might want to take a look.
I hope to have this project with me this weekend, June 14-16, 2024 at Vintage Computer Festival Southwest. I'll be at table 207 in the Tandy Assemble hall, just across the street from the main exhibit hall.

for songs & silencers: aly & aj's slow dancing perhaps?
(youtube link: here)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BELLE!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! 🥳🥳🥳
Here is a lil something based on your awesome Aly & Aj song request 🥰 I hope you enjoy!
youtube
Providence loved parties and the luxuries that accompanied them. It took little to convince the Heralds to host an exclusive gala for their organization, the likes of which would rival the Met’s in both exclusivity and splendor. They would celebrate their power in one of the finest art museums in the world while welcoming new members into the fold, an annual tradition made possible at the behest of the Constant. It was normally held in a far more secluded location, but the Heralds were pleased with the change from remote castles and the chaos that was cliff parking, and Diana set them free to make the new arrangements.
The event was indeed lavish and extravagant with many of the world’s most powerful businesspeople and power brokers in attendance. They mingled and conspired as Diana expected them to, indulging in the finest spirits and spilling their secrets for her to use against them later. She plastered a smile on her face for the Heralds as she masqueraded through the pageantry, engaging the practice she had perfected after many long and difficult months behind enemy lines. Her personal security team began to shrink as she spoke with various ambassadors and CEOs, but she mentioned that observation to no one.
She allowed herself a break from the gala to explore the museum proper, setting her sights beyond the party toward a new exhibition on mythology and space. Her heels clicked lightly along the tiled floor as her bodyguards followed not far behind. One by one their thudded steps disappeared as she reached her destination, leaving her with only the pleasant music of the band echoing from the main hall. 
The exhibition was spread across a fairly large room and two adjoining halls, each room offering a variety of paintings, pottery, sculptures, and tablets based on various mythological representations related to space. The central room was lit softly with a changing glass installation overhead, its design alternating displays of constellations, nebulae, and supernovas from the heavens. Diana enjoyed a moment watching the majesty above when a voice appeared behind her, her heart leaping in recognition.
“You shouldn’t wander off.”
“I wasn’t alone,” she reminded 47. “You didn’t kill them?”
“No,” he confirmed. “But they were sloppy.”
“That’s a shame. They’re the best Providence has to offer.” Diana smiled warmly as she turned to face him. “Though against you, they never stood a chance.”
He flashed a smirk before easing into a soft look, a look he reserved only for her. “You planned for this,” he murmured.
“I did.”
“Why?”
“I wanted to see you,” she admitted softly. “To remember what I’m fighting for.”
47 nodded in understanding. “It’s been a long time.”
“It has.” A brief silence stretched between them. “I didn’t know if you would come.”
Diana’s voice was steady, but she felt the betrayal of tears threaten to spill over. He closed the distance and gently cupped her cheek, his thumb brushing away the vulnerable evidence as she nestled into his familiar touch.
“I wanted to see you, too.”
He placed a soft kiss on her lips, a kiss that deepened and lingered from months of distance and longing. They rested their foreheads together and savored the tenderness of their reunion.
“How long do we have?” he asked, knowing her absence would soon be noticed.
“A few more minutes, perhaps.”
“Good,” he replied, taking her hand in his.
They embraced under the stars, letting the sweet echo of the band serenade their slow dance. The song would be over soon and he would make his escape and she would return to her mission. But for a moment they were together, and for a moment, they found heaven in each other's arms.

Atsv would've been widely improved by 1.No love triangles and 2.A Spidey Core Four consisting of Miles,Gwen,Hobie and Margo.The chemistry between Gwen/Hobie and Miles/Margo was so good and loud asf and the jealousy subplot did nothing but make me pissed they didn't just do Ghostpunk and Margo is not a second fiddle to Gwen.They should be equals,like her and Hobie,best friends like her and Hobie and Hobie and Margo should been best friends too seeing as Hobie is afropunk and nowhere in Gwen's comics did she exhibit anything but solidarity and love for other girls,including BLACK girls with no weird undertones to her treatment of them unlike how dirty they did Ghostbyte and the freaky ass snowbunny subtext they tried to convince on us that did not work because it's fucking Spider Variant Gwen Stacy
For Spiderverse to be a real black story,it needs at least one black girl mc and yes,i mean GIRL.A teenage black girl,a black female child,because blackness is not a guy thing and pretending it does has a long history of black girl erasure(see those memes of black men playing Disney Princesses due to Halle!Ariel).Margo is perfect for this franchise specifically too,because she's like Miles,Gwen and Hobie in the important ways but also does her own thing.Her design,personality,powers and Earth makes it all come together and she fufills a matching purpose to her teammates too-Miles is for nerdy black teen boys,Hobie is for black punk teens,Gwen is for teen trans girls,Margo is for nerdy black teen girls
This would also have helped a lot of Atsv fandom problems-Flowerbyte would be much more popular and Prowlerbyte would be the Miles G and Miles fighting over the one same girl dynamic which removes the almost inherent racism in Gh*stprowler that throws away everything good about Ghostflower,Margo would have an abudance of content as her besties do,Gwen wouldn't get as much hate thanks to no weird baseless misogynoir shit so black women in the fandom could enjoy her to the fullest as we deserve,it would've scare off incelbros so we'd have to deal with them less and Poly Spidey Core Four would be an at least semi-common ship as it should be already but isn't because white people have no media comprehension(hence the twinkification of Pavitr when he's canonically a masc hunk and the brothers allegations thrown at Punkflower).So in conclusion:Spidey Core Four is MY canon.I'm an Anomaly BABIEEEEEE

Kate narrating a documentary about bee-keeping and honeymaking? Earthshot giving us a 6 episode documentary series about their winners narrated by Cate Blanchett or a 2-hour special about Cape Town and South Africa (and every Earthshot city) by David Attenborough or a local expert? A 30-minute travel program about Cornwall by the Duchy of Cornwall? 3-minute YouTube videos about their charities and patronages produced by the people who work there or who benefit from services posted ahead of their visits? William narrating a documentary about his homeless initiative in Cornwall? A summer exhibition in KP’s display hall of Kate’s dresses or a Kate-curated show of the Royal Collection or loans from her patronages?
Yes, yes, and yes!!!! William and Catherine really are the first gen of royals to belong wholly to the social media generation. They should use it’s global reach much more expansively and more expertly. 
For Catherine: yes to beekeeping lol! Show the children - during small, limited vignettes - helping her. Further though, she has a degree in Art History. The BRF/RCT has a priceless art collection, most of it largely unseen/unknown by the greater public. Pair these two gems together in some (“fun yet informative”) documentaries…even a series. Same for the BRF photo collection. The BRF has been photographed by iconic photographers…Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon (D/Dss of Windsor lol), Annie Leibowitz, Mario Testino (those stunning Diana photos). Sure, some of it’s been done before, but let the people see these treasures again in an updated modern media presentation - interspersed/“edited” :) with pertinent film footage and interviews - and hosted by Catherine.
And not just the BRF art/photography treasures, but ditto for their fashion (an entire series in itself!), jewelry/tiaras (what exactly IS inside the Royal Vault, anyway, hiding unseen?), castles/palaces/homes (let’s see inside Balmoral, Sandringham, Kensington, Adelaide Cottage (limited access), Frogmore House - but minus Frog Cott…we already know what Soho House design looks like, although Frog Cott cemetery might be informative…), priceless antique furniture, properties/gardens, horse stables and animals, even their vehicles (rare carriages, automobiles, boats, aircraft)! How about a documentary on the Royal Ballet, hosted by Catherine and Charlotte, w footage included of Granny Diana at the RB? Each of these categories could easily fill an episode, presented by C. The catch, of course, would be to present all of this “to the people” in a way that doesn’t scream “let y'all eat cake!” but rather “this is yours, be proud of its beauty and history, which also is yours” ala Jackie Kennedy at the White House.
And separately from the above “fine arts” themes, yes, let’s also see much more in-depth coverage - by William and Catherine - of their charities and the bts work/progress involved, especially as related to Early Years research and work!
For William: yes to a documentary tour and inside look at the Duchy of Cornwall (that is much larger than just Cornwall lol)! William could pilot the helicopter - filmed up-close-and-personal inside the cockpit - as he takes us on the tour, with on-the-ground coverage as well, of course. And YES to expanded coverage of Earthshot and the ongoing progress of its winners (and nominees). Show the people what innovations Earthshot is catalyzing. This also has the built in advantage of appealing to youth, diversity/CW, and cutting edge climate change concerns….ie, the future. BTW tie in Earthshot with the Duchy of Cornwall and show us how the Duchy is incorporating climate change initiatives…organic farming, wind power, sustainability, re-planting, etc.
All of this could be widely and easily disseminated to a large, young, global audience both on social media/KP youtube and via media networks (ITV, BBC, etc.). Get busy, William and Catherine! Make your impending future reign a glorious one, a British Renaissance! (From an American fan with British ancestry)
*********
My hope is for Kate to include the kids in one of her promo videos for her Christmas carol service. I’d love to see them decorating a tree together or baking holiday cookies while they’re still young and small(ish).

hi!!! i’m absolutely in love with your knave-verse series, and i fall more in love every time i reread it. i just recently moved to boston (hence the anon ask), and some of the first things i did were visit both the gardner museum and the mfa and they’re incredible!! the mfa is beautiful and i love the variety of their artworks (and their rotating exhibits! i went just in time to catch the end of the japanese graphic design exhibit and i loved it!), but the gardner is a masterpiece. i love how much it feels like the personal collection it is and i love the almost-clutter of some of the rooms and i love the atmosphere of the whole place. i also got to see their summer rotating exhibit, which was on christopher street: transgender portraits, and i cried in the exhibit hall.
ANYWAY. what i actually wanted to talk about is. not any of that.
i just started reading michael finkel’s the art thief, about stéphane breitwieser, and i’m so curious as to what knave-verse tk thinks of him. there’s a couple passages in particular that have caught my eye as things i think tk would have an opinion on, and i’m only on chapter 3:
A violent, late-night heist is an insult to Breitwieser’s notion that stealing artwork should be a daytime affair of refined stealth in which no one so much as senses fear.
Breitwieser’s sole motivation for stealing, he insists, is to surround himself with beauty, to gorge on it. Very few art thieves have ever cited aesthetics as an incentive, but Breitwieser has emphasized this repeatedly…He takes only works that stir him emotionally, and seldom the most valuable piece in a place. He feels no remorse when he steals because museums, in his deviant view, are really just prisons for art. They’re often crowded and noisy, with limited visiting hours and uncomfortable seats, offering no calm place to reflect or recline.
Instead of an art thief, Breitwieser prefers to be thought of as an art collector with an unorthodox acquisition style. Or, if you will, he’d like to be called an art liberator.
the second quote in particular, especially the comment about museums being prisons, feels like something tk would have thoughts about, considering both his own unique code of thievery ethics and the fact that he now works in a museum himself, but all three of those quotes got my attention when i read them. finkel does mention that breitwieser “despised” the gardner theft because the thieves, in a way, destroyed the paintings by cutting them out of their frames instead of removing them neatly, which i do think tk would agree with him on, but we already know how tk feels about the gardner theft so that’s not surprising.
i’ve always loved museums, but i didn’t have any real appreciation for art for a long time. i started building that appreciation before i read your knave-verse, but the way that tk talks about art makes me look at things in a completely different way. you’ve also introduced me to so many artists i didn’t know anything about before! i’m still partial to sargent, but i’ve definitely expanded my horizons a lot in the last year or two and it’s incredible!! thank you so much for writing this series!! so seriously it has changed me and the way i look at art and the world and i keep coming back to it over and over again because i love it so much
oh, holy shit, this is amazing. Thank you so much.
I have so many things to say.
1 - Yes! Yes! the Gardner is astonishing, I love it so much. One of my favorite museums in the world. I'm so glad you went and loved it too.
2 - If you have access to a car - Newport, RI is a good day trip from Boston (the Breakers alone is worth the trip) - and the American Illustration Museum there has a huge collection of Leyendeckers. I need to go back. I need more time not devoted to being at work.
3 - I have not read The Art Thief, but it's on my list now, it sounds fascinating.
I think TK would appreciate the style and elan of refined stealth - that is extremely his vibe. (the fact that they cut the Gardner paintings out of their frames is physically painful to think about - although who pulled off the Gardner theft is one of my first questions in the afterlife).
But, TK would vehemently disagree with Breitwieser's characterization of museums as prisons of art. Look, there are lots of ethical concerns about museums - but they also have the potential to show people things they would never have the chance to see. Art isn't/shouldn't be locked away where only the privileged few can see it - it belongs to everyone.
4 - TK's taste in art is extremely my taste in art (shocking, right?) - but writing this has made me research a lot of art I would never otherwise have seen (especially in Austin - I now really want to go to Austin for the art, also google is 90% convinced I'm moving there).
And just, in conclusion - thank you so much for taking the time to say this, because it means a lot that something that started because I'd been watching White Collar and Lonestar and had a weird 'huh, what if?' moment, turned into something that has actually impacted the way you look at art, and the way that you feel like it can belong to you. That's amazing. I am so floored - in a good way - by that. Thank you.

More information about Jimin’s upcoming exhibition The Truth Untold 👀
It sounds so magical 😭😭😭
Tumblr media
Full text:
"The Truth Untold" will be held to look back on Jimin's activities for his first solo album FACE and second solo album MUSE. This exhibition will shed light on his solo activities with various contents. Through Jimin's handwritten production diary and lyric writing notes, you can get a glimpse of how fiercely he worked as a creator.
The exhibition hall was designed so that the audience can understand Jimin's emotions while making his solo album. The area is largely divided into FACE and MUSE. The FACE section, which is inspired by waves/ripples of water, has a media wall, a distortion mirror and constant waves to visually convey the confusion Jimin experienced in the process of finding his complete 'I'. The waves get calmer as they approach MUSE, symbolizing the beginning of a new journey and suggesting that Jimin has overcome his confusion and successfully faced 'me'.
A set bringing the atmosphere of the music videos of "Like Crazy" and "Set Me Free Pt. 2," which are included in the solo album, and a photo zone based on "Who" and "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco)" will increase the sense of immersion. In addition, Jimin's various behind-the-scenes contents and handwritten letters that he could not convey in words will be released for the first time. Costumes and props worn for various performances and music videos, as well as trophies and plaques he received, will also be on display.

[A Touch of Magic for the Model] - Chloe SSR Card Story Translation
Tumblr media
Ft. Faust and Akira
For Future Reference - Chapter 1
[Dressing Room]
Tumblr media
Akira: (It was a tough journey to get here, but I’m glad everything turned out fine for Chloe in the end…)
As I made my way to the dressing room, I reflected on our experience with “The Amoire’s Diadem,” the premier fashion contest in the West. It was the stage all designers strived for...
Faust & Chloe: …
Tumblr media
Faust and Chloe were already inside when I got there, sitting in front of a mountain of papers with worried looks on their faces.
Akira: Faust, Chloe, is something the matter?
Chloe: Master Sage! Apparently winning first prize comes with a ton of paperwork to complete.
Chloe: We’ve got a whole pile to knock out.
Much like the fashion competition itself, the documents Chloe showed me were decorated with stylish patterns and accents.
Faust: From what I can tell, these papers address things like legal rights and storage instructions for your design.
Akira: Winners still have it rough after the competition huh…
Chloe: Right? But we’re at the final stretch, so we gotta pull through!
Chloe grabbed a document from off the pile.
Chloe: (W- What does any of this mean? There’s so many complicated terms that I can’t make heads or tails of it…!)
Akira: …Are you alright, Chloe…?
Chloe: T- Totally! Umm, I think this one is saying my outfit is gonna be displayed at some grand hall in the West!
Chloe: If that’s fine with me then I just need to sign here…
Faust: …Hold on a second. There’s some more information here.
Faust: The exhibition will only be open from evening hours until morning in accordance with the theme of the competition… Will this cause any issues?
Chloe: Wow, I can’t believe I almost missed that! Since the text was in cursive along the border, I totally thought it was part of the design!
Akira: It really does blend right into its surroundings… Good catch, Faust.
Faust: It's nothing special. I have to deal with this regularly in the East, so I’m used to it.
Faust: …Would you like some help with the rest of those papers?
Chloe: Huh?
Faust: Judging by your reaction, I assume you’re new to this.
Faust: While it’s good to want to tackle things on your own, it doesn’t hurt to ask for some help either.
Chloe: Faust… Thanks so much for the offer.
Chloe: If you’re willing to help out then… Could I ask you to teach me how to do paperwork too?
Akira: What do you mean?
Chloe: It won’t do me any good in the long run if Faust just does the work for me.
Chloe: I want to learn how to do it myself in case I ever win another competition like this again in the future…
Chloe: Ahaha, I’ve only won this one though, so I’ll stop here before I jinx myself…
Chloe: Anyways, I’m sorry for the hassle! If you don’t want to do it, you definitely don’t have to!
Faust: …It’s not a problem whatsoever.
Faust: If that’s what you want, then I’ll teach you what I know.
For Future Reference - Chapter 2
Faust: First off, I’ll explain how to break down and read a document.
Chloe & Akira: We’re all ears, Master Faust!
Faust: …It’s funny hearing that from the two of you.
As Faust was lecturing, Chloe took down notes with rapt attention. Beside him, I listened in for any useful information.
Faust: …And those should be the basics. Next we’ll try applying them for real.
Faust: The easiest way to learn is by practicing over and over again while familiarizing yourself with the formula. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, please ask.
Chloe: Understood! Now where should I start…
Chloe: “From the Armoire to You: A Ray of Light For the Residents of Fashion Nation Consent Form”?
Akira & Faust: (That’s one heck of a title…)
Chloe: First off, I need to replace difficult words with simpler phrases…
Despite the unfamiliar terminology and Western flair of the documents, Chloe continued to write away.
Sitting beside him, Faust would check over Chloe’s work and give advice while I sorted the papers as they were completed.
Chloe: Sign my name here and… Done! Could you hand me the next one, Master Sage?
Akira: Of course! And with this one, we’re halfway done.
Chloe: Already!? I’m taking so long to read these that I was sure we had more to go.
Akira: Aw, don’t say that! You’re getting faster and faster with every document. It’s genuinely impressive.
Chloe: …Now that you mention it, I’m recognizing more of those stock phrases, so it’s getting easier to read things.
Chloe: This must be what Faust meant by “formula” earlier.
Faust: That’s exactly it.
Faust: However, don’t rush things either. You’ve overlooked a few things here... and here, so take your time and be careful.
Chloe: Really!? I totally wasn’t paying attention there�� Thanks for catching that!
Akira: It’s natural for your mind to wander once you’ve been doing the same task long enough.
Akira: At times like these, it’s good to get a little change of pace. For example, you could raise your arms and stretch as high as you can.
Chloe: Ahaha, I do that while working on an outfit too! Taking a break can do wonders.
Chloe & Akira: Stre—tch!
Faust: …The two of you remind me of cats.
And so, we made our way through the pile.
Akira: The next one is the final document!
Faust: This one ought to wrap things up nicely.
Akira: What does it say?
Faust: It concerns the first place prize money. Messing up here could mean not getting paid.
Faust: There are several things to fill out, and it’s the most complex form yet. However, if you apply everything I taught you today, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.
Chloe: Wow, this one’s a wringer…
Chloe: Still, I can’t let everyone’s efforts go to waste! I’ll make sure to get that prize money!
Filled with more motivation than ever, Chloe began to read through the final document with a determined look on his face.
For Future Reference - Chapter 3
As Faust watched over him from behind, Chloe scanned through the document with his class notes in hand.
Chloe: Umm, first, I need to read over the whole thing and make sure I have everything I need to fill it out.
Akira: Is there anything?
Chloe: Um, let me see… Ah! Yes!
Casting his spell, Chloe conjured his sketchbook and flipped to a page filled with neat, round handwriting.
Akira: What’s this?
Chloe: A record of how much I spent to make the outfit.
Chloe: Thankfully, Heath said he’d write that down for me.
Akira: Oh! Nice going, Heath!
Chloe: Next… I need to check if there are any terms or conditions that would disadvantage me.
Akira: Make sure to look for any hidden ones like on that first document.
Chloe: Absolutely… Hmm… This looks fine… This too…
Chloe: Alright! Everything looks good to me!
As Chloe went along, he carefully filled in all the required information. Finally, all that was left to do was sign.
Chloe: We finished!!
Chloe: Wait no, I can’t forget! We gotta check one last time for any errors or oversights!
As Chloe looked over the paperwork, I made my way to him and Faust.
Chloe: Master Faust! Please check over it one more time too!
Faust: Good work, Chloe. I’ll take it from here.
Faust: …
Chloe & Akira: …
Chloe: Ohh, I can’t look! What if I did something wrong…
Akira: …I’m sure it’ll be fine Chloe. You got this.
Chloe: Master Sage…
Akira: After seeing how hard you’ve been working today, there’s no way you could fail now…
Chloe: …Ehehe, thank you. Hearing that makes me feel more confident too.
Faust: …Chloe.
Chloe: Y- yes sir!
Handing back the paperwork, Faust looked up at Chloe and smiled.
Faust: Everything looks perfect. Well done.
Chloe: R- Really!?
Akira: Congratulations, Chloe!
Chloe: Thank goodness… I really appreciate both of you for helping me out today!
Chloe: Thank you for taking a break with me Master Sage, and thank you Faust for teaching me how to navigate all this paperwork…
Chloe: Because of you guys, I had a lot of fun learning something new!
Faust: I’m glad it worked out in the end.
Faust: I’m sure you’ll do great the next time you win a competition.
Chloe: …! Thank you!
Chloe: Alright! I’ll make sure to work even harder from now on to make sure I don’t let these skills go to waste!
Looking at Chloe’s bright smile, I could only imagine where he would go from here.
The thought of it filled me with excitement as he took yet another step towards the future.
Start Where You Can - Card Episode
Akira: You did a great job with all that paperwork, Chloe.
Chloe: Thank you! It was super overwhelming at first since I’d never done anything like it before, but I’m glad everything turned out fine in the end.
Chloe: Eastern Country paperwork must be a completely different beast to tackle though. Have you ever dealt with it?
Akira: I received some from Sir Cock Robin before. They were completely crammed with print from top to bottom.
Chloe: Right!? I was helping Faust carry some Eastern paperwork earlier too, and he showed me a couple pages…
Chloe: Every single one I flipped to looked exactly like that. It was insane.
Akira: If anyone could handle that, it’d be Faust.
Chloe: Right, right? If it were me, I’d probably be knocked out before I knew it!
Akira: Ahaha… It was the same back home.
Akira: Whenever I read something I didn’t understand, I’d just end up spacing out.
Chloe: I totally get that. That’s why I think people who can do that kind of work are incredible.
Chloe: Since Faust took the time to teach me, I’ll definitely do my best to get there… Although, maybe I’ll start with Western style paperwork first!
Home Screen Voice Line
“There are times when Heath comes off as cool and capable, and other times when he’s more reserved, like a cute, younger brother. Either way, isn’t he just the best? Even though Heath tends to hold back, he can be quick to make decisions and show how he really feels when it comes down to it. Wait, is this what you call ‘gap moe’?”

okokok this is really vague but i simply must know more about jenny and texaco
excellent character design
Tumblr media
Of course! Thanks for your patience with this ask, I wanted to draw them special for it.
Jenny and Texaco are two more of the little planes that live in the Transportation Hall, the JN-4D Curtiss (nicknamed Jenny, though all models of this plane carry the nickname) and the Travel Air Model R Mystery Ship (nicknamed Texaco 13).
the Curtiss JN was the first mass-produced airplane, originally made to train pilots during WWI. After the war, the surplus planes made their way to the civilian market where they were used in everything from mail service to stunt shows. We talk about how the Zephyr service tried to make rail travel accessible to the average person, the Jennies functioned in a similar way, being abundant and simple to train in on account of their original built purpose. Jenny at the MSI was used for aerial stunts, $5 rides, and barnstorming displays. She was flown at the 1933 World's Fair and was then donated to the museum, so she was hanging around when Pioneer and 999 were too, although they wouldn't have interacted back then.
As a stunt plane and strictly commercial engine, Jenny is competitive, shrewd, and occasionally very blunt. She comes from a background and a time period where mincing your words was a waste of precious seconds and good airtime. While retirement has sanded down her more daredevil tendencies, she's not above challenging the other planes to handstand contests or merely just calling them out when she thinks they're acting cowardly. She likes the warplanes well enough, but thinks they're a bit dim for not simply settling their differences with tests of skill rather than might. In a perfect world, 727 would like to confer her powers of delegation to 40B for when she can't be everywhere at once, but given that no one listens to him, that responsibility usually falls to Jenny, whose commanding presence simply cannot be ignored.
In contrast Texaco (affectionately "Tex" to 2903) is a streamlined racing plane. One of only 5 ever built (in secrecy, hence the name of the class being Mystery Ship), the goal of the Travel Air company was to build a civilian plane that could match or surpass the speed of military aircraft and win the National Air Races. In this they succeeded wildly, Texaco broke more than 200 speed and distance records around the world during her time in service for the Texaco oil company.
As you might expect of a former racing plane, Texaco is energetic, relentlessly positive, and highly driven. A fellow student of the school of streamlined construction, she has a great deal of respect and admiration for Pioneer and loves challenging him to race with her, which he graciously bows out of every time. She does show up "racing" alongside him on the big exhibit screens, which they both find highly amusing. In contrast to Jenny's straightforwardness, Texaco sometimes lets her mouth run ahead of her and might take a few tries to get to the point if she doesn't lose track of it entirely. The other planes don't mind though, and in-fact love her for it (Jenny especially).
Glad to be able to talk about these two. They're great additions to the cast and a treat to draw. Thanks for the ask!

More New Features/Update - Style Savvy : Styling Star #02
[Previous Post]              [First Post]              [Next Post] Aaaand we're back! Last time, All we really got to do was the prologue, restocking and setting up our starting outfit, So let's see what comes next:
Tumblr media
So first I ended up using mods to edit my character a bit, Inital Design: | New Design:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The most obvious change is the skin tone, I'm not the biggest fan, of how darker skin tones work in the new art style, I would have preferred something in the middle, Or a slight tweak to the lighting, as the color of both can vary quite a bit in various conditions:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But I still think both look good overall, (emulator could be Affecting) So I haven't decided what I'll stick with long term. (I don't really believe that our avatar's need to look like us IRL, so I encourage everyone to try whatever you want, even other skin tones!) I also adjusted the eyes a bit:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really like the 'cat eye' design from before, but I did not like that it was 'baked' into the eye shape. This really restricted some designs, and make eyelashes look a little weird imo. The lipstick is new for post 2 as well, and I think it's a nice addition, without being too flashy, but I may change it later. Any ways, even after all these blogs, it's still a little uncomfortable talking about physical appearance, even for my own fictional avatar, So I'll even the design choices at that, let's hop back into the game! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alright, so another new feature for Styling Star is:
Tumblr media
They actually announce when new people show up in town! It's another small change, that really helps add to the feeling of the town growing! If only they made it a little easier to find and talk to people, maybe the social aspect was a little over done in fashion forward, But it's a little weird to have a new entries that shows a bunch of people walkign around, with no option to talk to most of them.
Tumblr media
It kinda feels like we've reverted back to the first 3ds game where you only have fixed NPC's in specific locations:
Tumblr media
...and they only cycle through a small handful of lines. Maybe this will improve overtime, it's not a huge deal though. I also learned that you can change you can change your phone's wallpaper and background picture, that's pretty fun:
Tumblr media
Yup, I'm pretty broke again! Time to go to work! And we just had a customer walk in and ask for a full outfit!
Tumblr media
I guess that mean's we're near the end of the tutorial, And the dialogue choices even let us Savvy veterans skip the explanation! Again, they really nailed the prologue in this game! It's really good at giving players freedom in how to approach the start, while still keeping them from getting lost. So now it's time to make our first real outfit of the game:

I think it turned out well given out limitations, but maybe the hat as a bit too much,haha. There's also a neat little option to style from any outfit you've saved in your scrapbook. But for some reason, you can't save the outfit you're currently making So you'll have to design them in your apartment first, then you can suggest your custom design for customers. Any way, they were the only customer today, so on to the next... ----- The new girl from the prior day shows up at our shop:

(I guess they wanted to give us a days advance notice, or it overlapped with an event?) Anyway, she asks for a rock skirt, literarily the one item I did not yet buy in that style! XD So I head to the exhibition hall, buy way more than I need, and head back.
Tumblr media
I completely forgot what she was wearing, despite having the other screenshot literary showing on my second monitor. (as I write this while playing) But it all turned out ok, as I picked up a really nice match:

And that was it, she bought the skirt, and left. I was expecting this to be more of an 'event' like explaining, if a customer 'really likes' an item, they can ask for a full outfit, but nope. They did have a cute little epilogue though, after they bought the outfit, her normally Stoic boyfriend complements her look:

A bit of an seemly fluffy ending, but kinda directly tied into a comment I made in my bonus post about not really being comfortable delivering complements, especially in regard to one's appearance, (outfit or otherwise) It may seem like a simple thing for some, and I don't really think it's worth going off-topic enough to explain why it's difficult for me, but it is interesting seeing some version of that shown in-game! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The rest of the day was also mostly filled with people asking for a single item, so a bit on the slow side, So I decided to work on a few pre-made (scrapbook) outfits to offer to customers, It was a little weird having to build them all on my avatar, as the hair and makeup don't really match the styles I was going for:

And once there were no more customers to help, I changed back into my standard outfit and decided to turn in for the night:

This game must have been a huge 180 for people playing right after fashion forward. No real time clock is a nice change, but with the limited customers and lack of npc's to talk to, (so far) it really feels like the days have a fixed end point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Day, and a new brand unlocked!
Tumblr media
Also, I think I forgot to mention the 'daily results' screen, I believe it's a replacement for the 'happiness gauge' From trendsetters, but improved to show a numerical rank rather than just resting with no trackable progression. This is the last day we'll cover in this post, it both seems like a good stopping point, (And I'm kinda hungry, and my ADHD's hyperfocus is forcing me to finish this haha)
Tumblr media
I guess this game has achievements, that's pretty nice! So, I wake up and see another "new person has arrived in town" notification. So, I leave my apartment ready to run into them at my shop, and on the way, I literally run into them:
Tumblr media
(Oh hey, an actual event!) They fell over, so after making sure they were okay, I'm introduced to Rosie and We're given the chance to name the city:
Tumblr media
Oh, gees, I was not prepared for this, and I probably can't change it later, ahhh.
Tumblr media
Sorry, I panicked, and just typed stuff unto Google Translate until something with a nice sound came out. XD Sorry to anyone who's french, I just think your words sound nice. google says "nouvelle vie" means "New Life", that sound like a reasonable enough city name. Anyways we learn she's from out in the country, and a little lost, She complements our clothes and mentions only ever seeing fashionable people on tv. She also mentions that she's interested in getting some new clothes, so we invite here to visit our Boutique! And now we've opened a few new events, But I've just been informed that I have already used up my 30 photos for this post, so I guess the rest will have to wait till next time! <Next Post> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for reading! I had a lot of fun making this, so I hope you had fun reading it as well.
As always, all comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome! (I'm also looking for feedback on this new style, how's the formatting, too many Gifs?)
You literally can't bother me, (unless you go out of your way to be a jerk), so post whatever you need to say!
