(guy who has never played cotl) haha au time

#this started as a design exercise bc i couldnt get sphinx/devon rex narinder out of my head #but the whole time i was thinking man imagine if the lamb brings him in as a follower but nobody knows he was actually. you know #and the followers are like haha wow our leader channels the power and wisdom of the one who waits almost as if they were them #would that be cool or what. anyway heres narinder reassuming his pre-bishop form and everything his flesh remembers before godhood #ok now im gonna ramble abt design notes #the singe marks were inspired by fallen angels like how some ppl say they burned while falling from heaven. i wanted smth like that when #the lamb is resurrected by nari.. their outfit is inspired by papal cloaks while narinders is based on crusader armor #the lambs name 'bellwether' is also a term used for sheep that wear a bell and lead the flock and i thought that was cool #idk what the thuribles do yet but i do have smth in mind where theyre linked together. and ofc the lamb has a shepherds staff #very proud of nari's little devil tail!! and it was hard to see bc its so dark but he has wrinkles around his forehead to conceal his #third eye. even he isnt aware of it (for now)#idk where im going with this au i just have a bunch of ideas?? basically the lamb is keeping nari's identity a secret from him so he doesnt #go down that path of powerhungry destruction. smth like trying to lead him down a better path but feels guilty lying to do that #also theyre in love with each other and theyre stupid pining idiots abt it. mwah #cult of the lamb #cotl #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #the one who waits #cotl the one who waits #narilamb #art #au #myart #my art #character design #cotl au #false prophet! au

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#ask #non mdzs #My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl #So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume #but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice #and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

honestly part of the reason i've been really looking forward to finally playing light fingers (aside from the obvious horrors and whatnot) is because it, alongside bag a legend, contains a Choice™ i to this day am Extremely Torn About Making. like i've known for ages that the Choice™ exists in this ambition and STILL i am undecided about it. this Choice™ is of course. well. let's just say that by the time this ambition ends, caeru may not be the only catboy around town

#the bag a legend choice if ur curious is actually just. straight-up the ending. im not sure which one my BaL PC will end up with #all the other ambitions ive been Reasonably Certain about which path im choosing (especially in the case of the scoundrel)#(i kind of immediately decided i wanted the robe and built their character backwards from there)#but bag a legend? i CANNOT choose. they're all equally appealing to me. and to my BaL PC as they exist in my head rn #but BaL is practically a world's away so we (and i) don't need to dwell on it atm. we've got plenty of time lmao #the same goes for This Choice™ in light fingers. i'll decide when i get to it.#a lot will just depend on how the rp and story stuff plays out leading up to that point #who knows. maybe by the time he gets there lark will have become the fingerking's second biggest stan (after louise of course)#part of the fun i get in cyoa games is equal parts meticulously plotting out a character journey and just #seeing where the character vibes take me as i go along. it's a bit chaotic but ultimately very fun #that's why i keep talking about future events as though this is an actual story and not made up oc rp stuff btw #im just really insane about thematics and arcs in my roleplaying games #yin-thoughts #fallen london

Morning gamers, how are we all feeling about the announcement there’s plans for a US live action adaptation of The House in Fata Morgana

bc personally I’m in anguish

#on paper yes it makes sense and would be a great choice for adaptation.#but I have NO confidence in this being made well and faithfully in this current age and climate #even putting aside the casting challenges #my biggest fucking concern is that the average U.S. person doesn’t know intersex ppl exist #basically even if this somehow doesn’t end up in production hell there’s like 2 universes where it could be Good #and way more where it’s so unforgivably noted to death and nothing like the VN #also as a general rule we CANNOT let American production studios learn VNs exist it is IMPERATIVE #I so strongly feel like that is a path that leads to a cursed timeline #the house in fata morgana #pudditxt #fatamoru #VNs

AHATWHWTA!!!! IM SO CURIOUS. OH GOD IM CURIOUS. WILL DALE'S DEATH HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU KNOW....

FAIRIES?!!? im so not normal about this fic. hello!! ectobiologistz from AO3 here :D

Hehe HAHAHAHAH Oh, wouldn't you like to know? (Well, of course, else you wouldn't ask)

Heheh, I can tell again It will be long till we come to that point Heh, though, that doesn't mean kindness will come his way Who knows, maybe he too will live in dismay?

HAH! As if the universe would be so kind, as to let him keep his mind, his body and all things intact. Oh, dear oh my, maybe he'll even wish he would die?

But alas, such wishes goes against the rules And, as we know, Peri is no rulebreaker

If he wants to be happy He better go with the flow For, if he doesn't…

Well, who will know?

So, let my answer be clear No one is happy hear And the worst you can see Is where we want to be

In other words, what would hurt the most?

Also, THANK YOU!!! It delights me so that there is more you want to know!

Hi!!! You're great!! You're really been brightening my days with the words you've sent my way! Thank you for being the wonder that you are!

I hope the joy you greet me with and the kindness you share, will come to you ten fold and free you from any despair!

Hope it will let the sun shine on through Giving you bright wonder in all that you do!

Hihih, and I'm so glad you like the fic! Thank you!!

club penguin used to piss me off so bad as a kid because you had to pay for all the cool stuff and the mere thought of asking my parents to buy me a gift card made me feel stupid but hanging out with friends online wasn't wnough i yearned for all the puffles and the treehouse igloo

#my top 3 games were Ahem habbo hotel transformice and club penguin #and i only played like pirated versions of them that had everything unlocked #I don't know why there was a pirated version of transformice i actually don't remember anything about this game except the basic stuff #I THINK we could build houses . or something like that(??????) and there were cute outfits #i really liked those rooms where people could put songs #anyways back at the topic CLUB PENGUIN this game was evil #i remember vividly that one time i asked my friend to go to the iceberg with me and i sat on the edge #and made a dramatic speech about how it was boring if you didn't have a membership #the next week her mom bought me a gift card LMAOOOO #we stopped playing on the official server after that tho that was when my journey with pirating began... slay !#nononono actually minecraft lead me on this path... can't believe i forgot #i'd be looking for links🏴‍☠️ every time a new mcpe version dropped

#if u consistently repost other peoples photos without credit i block.. if i consistently reblog said posts ill unfollow :")#i get it if one(1) time you get excited and you dont know the source and you just yell like yeah i feel u it happens... but consistently #i see enough of that on other platforms i cant stand it this is the only place where it usually is respected to give proper credit #if you come in here throwing that out of the window imma throw you out of my car so i dont have to see it #like in some way in any way just leave a path on your post that leads to the photographer. somehow.#with the exception being the main photographers like if louis posts to his insta and the pic is everywhere and we #know its joshuas i mean thats not grinding my gears i get it were excited we post the thing to scream its fine.#but if its a local concertphotographer or one of the fan photographers in the crowd #providing you with an amazing shot of ur fave for free like show the tiny bit of respect to at least #at fucking least. fucking credit them.

silly funny haha moment when I need to talk to my brother Abt smth srs cus I think I'm going down the same path he did when he was my age/a little younger but Im scared of him and him saying that I'm just copying his mental issues for attention

#fuckign SHOCKER we grew up in extremely similar environments under extremely similar conditions w a lot of parallels and thus ended up w a+#lot of similar mental health conditions and experiences!!#I've had a msg typed out in my brother and i's dms for like. an hr or two now. ready to send!! I'm just fucking scared of how hell respond #cus I don't WANT to go down the same path he did #unlike when he was having these problems- our insurance no longer covers mental hospital stays I'm pretty sure! which means I could not +#afford smth like that!!#not that I think I need that rn #I just don't want to get to that point where I do need that like he did #I know where this kinda stuff leads and I don't wanna go there. I've seen it happen w my brother w my friends w my ex w old friends #I cant let myself get to that point when I know I can prevent it #racc rants #cw rant #tw rant

For about 6 years now I've had a running gag with one of my cousins where, once every like 6 months or so, I'll find a way to insert a certain mental image into the conversation. The mental image is "a pile of toilets in an elevator, which closes and then goes up." I do this as naturally as possible. I'll construct an entire scripted conversation path with the express intention of leading into an opportunity for me to say "a pile of toilets in an elevator, which closes and then goes up." I have talked other people who aren't me into integrating the phrase into their conversations with him just once. He fucking hates it. He has threatened to kill me about it. I let so much time pass between instances that he never sees it coming. Because he knows that the only way to see it coming is to integrate into his brain the expectation that at any point, any conversation may suddenly turn out to be a toilet-elevator trap. And that's a fucking insane way to live.

why didn't they just use franziska for literally all of this.

#freya talks aai2 #my goals of not being a forgotten/forsaken hater are not going well. he goes from 'kay is a dear ACQUAINTANCE' to 'i've not known her for #very long but i know she'd never kill anyone' to 'you are the kay i know so well' in the span of a few hours and it's like.#okay so you know it was too early in their acquaintanceship for this to really make sense but you still wanted a 'deep' and 'meaningful'#relationship to take the lead in this plotline. his sister is literally right there. it wouldnt have been hard to swap her in either because #she's literally investigating the smuggling situation. it would make perfect sense for her to be there following a lead instead of suddenly #revealing kay's promise notebook went missing. im not saying that the super-gentle super-meek persona would have made more sense with #franziska but honestly it wouldnt have made sense with any of them because it's more a caricature of a character rather than being an actual #previously unseen facet of one but you could've done so many more interesting things with franziska! she has an actual personal stake in #edgeworth's decision to continue as a prosecutor or not and we could get actual insight into how her own relationship with prosecuting and #its inextricable link to her father has affected her as a person. like when you show amnesiac kay the prosector badge all she says is that #it feels heroic warm and familiar like someone she knew used to show it to her often. and like cool. it's basically telling us she and her #father were close. which we already knew. imagine if franziska had said something like that or had had a more complex reaction. there would #be so many avenues to go with that!! you'd even be able to delve deeper into what edgeworth thinks about it all. like what if franziska was #just. happier. without her memories. then you'd have a story where edgeworth has to reckon with whether it might be kinder to let her live a #different life where she's unburdened by literally everything she's been made to go through and give her the same opportunity of starting #over that he now has.#im just writing fanfiction at this point but like. the amnesia plot is so frustrating to me HAHA they dont even do anything interesting with #it!! it's just oh she's lost her memories and we need to get them back because she's not 'herself' anymore without any discussion of like.#the nature of identity or living as who other people know you as vs whoever you might actually be #WHEN THE WHOLE CASE IS ABOUT EDGEWORTH DECIDING ON HIS PATH FORWARDS AND GRAPPLING WITH BEING THE PROSECUTOR EVERYONE HAS KNOWN HIM AS #whatever. WHATEVER.#annotations #some people might argue so it's not rehashing old conflict between franziska and edgeworth and like ok. she literally repeats her 'are you #running away from me again' line during this case. does that sound like the words of resolved conflict?#i know WHY they use kay. it's because they need to justify her place in this game and because they want to play on the pseudo father-figure #thing they played up in aai2 to contribute to the overall themes of fatherhood this game is dealing with. and to that i have to say that i #might just not be the audience for it because i've never bought that version of their relationship and i dont think kay should be in aai2 #anyway. plus i posit that franziska would've still worked for that theme because. literally everything. about her.

#ignore this lol #i just have some thoughts and no where to articulate it #this is about fandom culture #the way i approach fandom is that it's supposed to be fun #so i've always been mindful of curating my own experience in fandom #i don't engage with what i don't like #i unfollow and block people who make the experience negative #and i'm here for a good time #so shipping wars? i don't get it #i'm a multishipper #so i'll read any pairing if they're written well #i've just been seeing a lot of anger and resentment towards certain characters and pairings because of the ship wars #and like?#is it that deep?#is it not enough to let others ship what they want?#and disengage with those who create content for ships you dislike?#the block button is right there #you don't have to start beefing with someone because of a difference of opinion #especially when you start nitpicking and overanalyzing the characters to find every percieved flaw #which in turn leads down a path of reinforcing harmful stereotypes and hateful rhetoric #you have the right to your own opinion #but your character is drawn into question when you let your opinion drive hateful rhetoric #i know the characters are fictional #but the people who share identities with these characters aren't #all in all #don't yuck someone's yum #stay unbothered #and let's keep it fun #this is about 911 #911 discourse

Why are the second bad relationship ends hard to get for the deep route boys ughhhhhhhhhh

#prince's talk tag #i know why and imma explain it bc its pissing me off #in casual route and another story the story modes dont offer a lot of opportunities to get hearts from the characters #where with the deep route boys you're spending time with them and you get hearts from them regardless of your choices #whether the hearts lead to a good or bad story end is irrelevant for bad relationship ends bc youre getting hearts anyway #and since basically ever option gets me a heart and i cant pick too many bad choices without risking getting the bad story end #i end up on the good end route which is NOT what I want #getting their first bad relationship end is easy. just dont do the chats from days 5-7 #& since i dont spend time with them outside the chat until i pass the first branch i dont have to worry about getting hearts in the vn mode #but the second bad relationship end happens on day 10 after having spent time with them either in his penthouse or her old apartment #so what i have to do is get JUST enough hearts to pass the first branch and then i guess mix up my answers enough in the story modes #to prevent me from getting the good end #bc a lot of options give me hearts. theres only a handful of options that dont #i dont wanna look up a walk through but ughhhhhh i might if this keeps up bc i cant keep wasting hourglasses dancing the bad end tango #did i even explain well why its harder to get the ends with deep route than casual and another story?#tl;dr is deep route boys have 3 days worth of story mode where you can get hearts from them even if you dont do the chats #so its not enough to just miss chats after the first branch u have to keep track of the hearts you get to make sure youre on the right path #casual and another story's story modes don't give out hearts even when you're talking to the characters so its easier to get the bad ends #i literally only need two more endings (one from each deep route boy) and im set. just give them to me pleaseeeeee #OH the crucial point i missed: i cant skip the story modes like i can the chats. im forced to do them. thats why im suffering #sorry my mind is everywhere lolol cant organize my thoughts well
