#I LIKE IT A LOT. MAYBE TOO MUCH???

[axewchao]

Not actually Skele!Dal's lore; I can only have so many versions of Dalex in one fandom, y'know, and SkeleDal's honestly more of a gag than an alternate self, at least right now =w="

This is more an attempt at a lore sheet; just slapping some stuff on the canvas and seeing how it turns out. 

The setup for this "lore" is along the lines of the "multiverse meetup" works. Aka the ones where Sanses and Papyri (and the occasional Gaster) are inexplicably gathered in one universe (usually Classic's) and shenanigans ensue as the newly-formed Skelegang struggles to find a way to send everyone back home. While also trying to keep things on the DL regarding what happened. Gee, were there always so many skeletons???

Skele!Dal gets summoned as well, and while he's initially assumed to be a Papyrus that ended up alone, the Skelegang soon learns that he's not. Not a Sans or a Gaster, either, and one wrong move from one of the more... "aggressive" versions leads to the answer: he's a fuckin' Blaster.

The Skelegang has questions, but unfortunately their new "friend" isn't willing to explain very much. Mostly due to lack of trust, and also because he's just not much of a talker. Even Horrortale Sans is more chatty than this guy. And CHECKing him doesn't help much either, as it only shows his basic stats, but doesn't reveal his real name or have any flavor text. 

Not wanting to go by some random word/color for a name, he chooses one himself: "Dalex." Why act as though "Dalex" isn't his real name, even though I've established that he is indeed a Dally? Good question.

He doesn't know. He's afraid of the answer.

He knows that "Dalex" was a good person.

That "Dalex" understood right and wrong. It was his strongest trait in life. It's why his SOUL was chosen in the first place.

But… what would be the right answer here? He feels like he's "Dalex." But is that really correct?

Is he really "Dalex" in a new body and new life, or is he just a husk stealing traits and aspects from the being used to make him…?

He doesn't want to steal. He doesn't want to disrespect the dead.

He… wants to be good. Do the right thing.

…What should he choose?

Again, not canon, just a little thought experiment. owo)b

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

been doodling some bri'ish wildlife - love seeing these guys. because they are the classics aren't they?

Since book 7 part 5 (the part where we meet Meleanor/Maleanor 👀) is coming to EN this month, i would love to see your take on lilia’s proposal to meleanor! i mean they were like little kids right? it couldn’t have been that serious…i think the only reason she even brought it up again is because she could tell lilia still genuinely loved her…(even if he didn’t realize it himself?) but, oh well! Let’s think about silly childhood shenanigans to numb the pain! ^_^ (orz)

oh shit?! get ready for a doozy guys, it's comiiiiiing ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I chickened out of posting the whole thing (look, I get VERY carried away when it comes to these wacky kids and their Tragedy), but I do believe that it probably ended with Lilia getting embarrassed and just shoving the first thing he sees into his mouth to try and cover for it.

(we're just lucky it wasn't a frog this time)

HOW are you dealing with the new expression bones

for me and the type of gposing i do, less is more when it comes to expressions. still, i've tried to set myself up for success when adjusting them, so i'll share what i've got here.

quick preface: i use ktisis to pose. i've seen the layout for anam, but haven't used it, and i find brio's posing a bit too finicky for my liking. i use it for supplemental features, but not posing.

blue tips will be pretty accessible, and red tips are for those who don't mind fucking around and finding out, or putting in a bit more effort.

Filter the Visible Bones in Your List

No brainer, right? Looking at the left is a nightmare.

Do yourself a favor and only activate the group you’re working with, like the mouth group on the right.

Make an Expression Pack (or several!)

When it comes to expressions, the best advice I can give is: go through the vanilla expression emotes with your character and save them as .pose files. It’s a little time-consuming, but it WILL be worth it if you’re making enhanced poses often enough. And you don’t have to stop there–if there’s a full-on emote with an expression you adore, pause it during the expression and save it the same way. You can load that face onto other poses.

A note on pre-made expressions with the new face bones: Expressions will not carry across races, nor will they carry well across faces of the same race. This is particularly noticeable for the mouth. For that reason, you may want to label your expression folders like this:

Gender > Race > Face –or– Female > Viera > Face 4

Eye Movement with Sibling Linking

This has always been the go-to, but I think it’s good to share. There’s a button that lets you move one bone while also affecting its sibling bone (for example, you can move the left eye, and the right eye will move too).

“Link Rotation” will move the bones in the same direction. You will use this the most. “Mirror Rotation” will move them in opposite directions, but the amount of movement will be the same.

I use this for eyes and eyelids to ensure I’m getting even movements and looks across the board (like below), but it works for ears, limbs, hair, you name it! If there’s a left and a right version of the bone, they can be moved in tandem.

Mouth Movement with Position

With the new mouth bones, I’ve found position to be far more helpful than rotation. Switch your transform mode to position, zoom way in, and lift those lip corners, or shift them in or out.

Here's the expression we just made from a blank face!

Adjust Some Settings

Consider adjusting your settings so that the bones and their connecting lines fade or disappear while you’re mid-movement, so you can see things more clearly. Some folks don't want to dabble in settings at all, which is fine!! But if you have the time and inclination, try it out!

Try Bone Offsetting

This is a lifesaver. You can adjust the position of each dot, for a more clear view of them. This takes some time and patience, but I found it to be worth it because I'm always on that damn gpose.

ESPECIALLY useful for the eyes, where the bones’ default state is stacked on top of each other. I’ve also adjusted the abdomen/waist/lumbar area and viera ear bones to my taste.

Bone Offsets only affect the specific race and gender you adjust them on. Here you can see the pile of dots on the unadjusted fem miqo's eyes, and then the fem viera's bone dots spread out to more legible placements.

Hopefully this was somewhat helpful! Feel free to shoot questions my way anytime! 💗
