#I love my unique anthro series so much | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

3,5,7,10,11,16,22 and 13,you said 3 years but what has changed since nice then?

EEEEEE tysm for the ask!!

3.) any recurring images/elements?

I'm not really that good at using motifs tbh, but I have a lot of scattered feathers deliberately placed in a few scenes. Smoke as well, even though I haven't illustrated any of those yet. I'll leave the interpretation to the readers :]

5.) pick a theme song for the tv adaptation.

Laplace's Angel by Will Wood! (this has been the theme song from before my Will Wood phase started, it's just got very similar themes)

7.) how would you describe the relationships between the characters in the story within eight words or less?

Not friends, just people sharing the same pain.

10.) if your story is titled, why did you choose that title?

It was always going to be called after whatever I named the organization. I had this idea of a kind of cultish group of assassins who worshipped a god of hunting. Since all the characters are animals hunting is pretty much just murder in this world, after all. My placeholder name for it was Artemis' Children, but I wanted to create my own mythology since I know virtually nothing about irl myths. the name Ullyca (and Ramedin while we're on it) was a result of me mashing words together at 1am until it sounded right. (I think it sounds cool though)

11.) give a general summary of the plot/world/characters.

Set in a world populated by several species of anthropomorphic animals, a serval named Umbra finds herself covered in blood, a body at her feet. With no memory of what happened, yet desperate to keep her involvement in this event from coming to light, she winds up making a deal with an organization of hitmen known as the Children of Ullyca, and by the time she realizes she's in over her head, it's too late to turn back.

16.) imagine the entire story takes place but in the meantime the characters all also have tumblr. what kind of (terrible) tumblr posts would happen?

Ahhhahahaha yk I'm pretty sure Fier has a tumblr (if anyone in this series does it's them) but for the other ones I'm absolutely sure Amala would be blazing Umbra's vent posts all the time, Hadron would do nothing except rb the worst takes known to mankind, Rena would have a bait account and Uriel just uses his to promote his fanfiction. Not sure what Kan would use his for, but something tells me he keeps getting blocked because he never made a profile and everyone thinks he's a bot.

22.) you have been given unlimited funds to make two adaptations of some sort, however you cannot make any other adaptations of any other sort. which two formats do you choose?

Ohhhh this is a tough one. I've always thought CoU would make for a banger animated series but for the second adaptation? Maybe a novel. I would have really loved for it to be a novel (even if the comic medium does fit better)

13.) how long have you been working on this project? what has changed from the outset?

SO much has changed in the past three years. Hell, not even joking this thing started as a bunch of Beastars ocs until I realized they didn't have anything to do with Beastars anymore and I was just a furry. Now, aside from the anthros and the canniballism, they have absolutely nothing in common.

The architecture has changed, it used to be just normal human cities but somewhere between the original chapters and the Call to Action entry I changed the buildings to use more natural elements like trees and cliffsides. I still struggle with it (a lot) but I love how lively and a little wild it looks.

Some designs have also changed, the uniforms used to all be plain dark grey jumpsuits but now all of them have their own unique design for each character for different purposes (Kan's uniform has armor plates, Rena's is a wetsuit, etc.) Out of all the characters, Kan has changed the most physically. I didn't know how to make the "grizzled war veteran" look I wanted so he just kinda looked... weird. Also he didn't have any scars which I later realized was stupid, he's been an assassin for 20 years.

Speaking of characters, Umbra's character has changed a LOT. She used to be the definition of an edgelord, a cold hearted killer with no remorse. However that was boring as shit and I thought it would make for a more compelling story if she really didn't WANT to join the CoU but was pressured into it.

I used to post pages on Instagram (i know, ew) but I realized the story was very disorganized and stopped to work on the script. I'm remaking the first chapter bc my art has... definitely improved. This is 2021 vs. 2023:

I know they say don't redraw old pages but... I think you get why I started over in this case lol

Gotta post about this b4 I forget about it but basically;

went on TVtropes yesterday, found the SRTUC page again, started adding to trivia and though, hmm, I've been getting "earlier anthro action cartoon" vibes from this show for a while now.... wonder why that is?

and guys, adding some of the art peeps there no the TVtropes trivia, I noticed that supervising producer ben jones actually worked on SWAT KATS as a character designer for 3 eps! what a connection to make!

my brain at that moment:

edit 1(27.06.2023) - ok, turns out I just mixed the actual show up with this show.... but it's sorta nice for me bc I like reminiscing about Swat Kats haha xD

on with the old post!!

actually, swat kats is a cartoon I was obsessed with for a while as a kid after we got access to cartoon network and they started airing it here. i think it'd seen a dubbed version of it before but it was exciting to see the english original, . it was fun and rompy as I remember, but also I loved the music and action elements after bikermice ended and I missed it so much, seeing something with similar musical cues felt like a consolation almost, like "oh there's more cartoons like this". now admittedly, i don't really remember that much abt swat kats anymore. it aired alongside other H-B cartoons and there was a lot to watch and pay attention to, so i kinda haven't retained more of it than memories of memories of loving the intro, memorizing the music and feeling cool while watching it. I remember the shift to more "serious" storytelilng (if I remember it right at all lol) and both feeling a bit critical/apprehensive at Callie (bc I'd thought, "why is she the only one who gets a more human-like appearance) and loving her design/fawning over her ("oh no, girl hot") but also it was just interesting to see a girl character given a mayoral role which made her seem more important than I'd seen from other action cartoons directed at boys so far.

like, i need to rewatch this series now that I've seen the cast/crew list, and just see also what it was about this show that I loved so much it left some kind of artistic impression on me.

lol idk what other connection with SRTUC it has, but when I'd read that Ben Jones was on it, I suddenly also thought, "well, not it makes sense why the antrho designs in samurai rabbit actually makes sense" There are so many shows, comics and so on before which have made different kinds of attempts at anthro/furry designs, and they all might make sense within the context of their show/media piece, but what I liked about Samurai Rabbit was how it didn't "humanize" the animal designs *too much*. Resulting in awkward designs where women look much more human than their male counterparts. which might not bother a kid much, but will bother an artist like me concerned with consistency lol. like in the og usagi yojimbo it makes sense how the animals look a little more human depending on their role or function in the story/scene, Stan Sakai is very good at making his cartoony style work with these ideas of "basically human, but represented by animals" but also literally animals. And I like that the show takes this same idea and runs with it in it's own way.

All this to say - Experience builds on experience.

so Ben Jones and many other veteran animators/artists/writers in the field working on it, but also the numerous visdev artists, animators and other visual folk with similar vested interest in a UY adaptation, give this show such an unique flair among other furry/anthro shows.

sdfsdf ill continue writing this later, I am soooo exhausted after work today, but, this was cool to think abt yesterday and ive been mullting it over in my head during quiet hours. so cool to have a brain that keeps noticing all these names and all these similar things and then running with it. like the animated things you like are so connected thru their staff knowing each other or having worked on same/similar things before, you wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it all the time.

#aghhtjournal #nostalgia #really truly nostalgia tho i need to rewatch this #aghht srtuc posts #i swear it all connects back toghetr #fanramble

You think you can do a NSFW headcanon of all the Freddys? (Including Fred bear and Nedbear of possible?) 👉🏾👈🏾

All versions of Freddy + Nedbear and Fredbear NSFW headcanons 🐻

AGE IN BIO OR IT'S ON SIGHT

AU version of the animatronics - none have children souls in them (and why the fuck would I write about kids on a smut blog?) and you can picture them however you want, human, animatronic, anthro, etc.

Dreadbear has been excluded for the time being (24/1/2021) as I had no fucking clue what to write for him, I'm sorry.

Holy fuck this one took a hella long time to complete due to the number of characters that are bears within the series — there are over 15 bears across both books and games (though I kept to the games for simplicity sake) and writing something unique for most of them defiantly came to be a challenge to where I ran out of brain juice half way through.

I'll probably come back here at a later date to fix shit up and / or add additional content warnings if requested to, but have fun.

If you wish to support me in being a degen [and get a custom story], my kofi is here

Content warnings — not every one of these are for each Freddy, but I'm counting them all since they do appear in this post: praise kink, mentions of brat taming, orgasm denial, taunting, corruption kink, overstimulation, face sitting, cock warming, breeding kink, tummy bulge, pegging, fear play, food play, daddy kink, pregnancy kink, cum inflation, degradation, master/petplay, pain play, unhealthy relationships, knives cutting into skin, blood play, size kink, cock choking, breath play, biting, marking, thigh riding, clothed sex, first times, dubious consent (Funtime Freddy)*

*Specially mentioned for Funtime Freddy

DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT

Fredbear/Golden Freddy (I am counting them as the same person bc fuck you (lovingly))

Soft dom, a defiant soft dom switch

Being one of the first iterations of the bear mascot (alongside Spring bonnie), he used to be a rather soft person, however, as the years have gone by and he has witnessed the horrors of the franchise, I feel like he has hardened slightly in personality. More standoffish, but he will hold a soft spot for those he cares about most.

Also a rather vanilla person, however, it is slightly harder to convince him to be intimate since he's worried about hurting others so usually you have to initiate intimacy. It doesn't mean that he doesn't initiate it himself, it just so happens that he doesn't prioritise it. When he does wish to initiate intimacy though, he's always so sweet and will be upfront and honest with you while kissing your wrists. He hates dancing around floral words and would rather have you understand his intentions straight away.

He has a praise kink, 100%, but he doesn't do it in a way that is filthy but more "you're so beautiful", "I love you so much" and so on. When he's a bit drunk he however can get a bit more explicit. However, he loves getting praised back and you will notice his gaze become more fonder.

surprisingly quiet, doesn't say much during sex besides what I mentioned above and isn't exactly vocal with moans, however, he does let out grunts and will respond back if you talk to him.

Up for morning sex, though he doesn't like kissing in the morning given that he tends to have horrible morning breath and doesn't want you to suffer because of it.

He fucks slow and deep, likes to savour the moment and will hold off his own end to see you blissed out and drunk on him before rubbing soothing circles into your back as you drift off to sleep.

Watch out if he's angry though, he is into angry sex.

Original Freddy

I get huge brat tamer vibes but also Gentleman dom switch. A bit lazy sometimes but is happy the majority of the time nonetheless.

He will never, ever raise his voice towards you, however, his voice will ooze that type of authority in it that makes your legs weak when he addresses you, even in the moments he doesn't mean to be like that. He's a natural-born leader and will be the type to show it.

if you're a brat, well, have a fun time with him since while he may entertain your brattiness, he tends to get a bit impatient after a while, even warning/taunting you that his patience is running a bit thin.

Isn't afraid of not letting you have what you want and will tell you that: he doesn't need sexual gratification much, but watching you squirm, beg and plead is like music to his ears.

Corruption kink? Corruption kink — if your first kiss is with him, he'll be happy, but if he gets to pop your cherry for the first time then oh god will his eyebrows raise when you tell him before an evil smile would make its way across his mouth.

Be especially bratty and holy shit, while he likes leaving you high and dry he also likes to watch you cry as he overstimulates you, especially on his tongue, watching your hands gripping onto anything they can as you scream and sob his name.

god tier aftercare and will make sure that you rest the next day, no exceptions and will even call into work for you (if he can) to say that you need to take the day off before cuddling you.

Toy Freddy

A service bottom — you've seen this dude play video games, he gives off that giant nerd energy and I am going to feed into that so fucking hard. Innocent, weeby nerd that wants to make sure that you are pleased in any way possible. He is a people pleaser

His first was probably with you and oh god, for as much as he likes to tell people to not be nervous he was so nervous and cute the entire time that you accidentally may have overstimulated him.

Probably didn't know what a clit or a prostate was, much less touched himself and yet somehow he gives head like a fucking champ and will leave you seeing stars. Also naturally great with his fingers (bc gamers got good fingers yooo).

He wants you to sit on his face. He likes the idea of being able to see nothing but you and have your pretty thighs around his head, his hands and fingers holding onto them as he can barely breathe without smelling you and he could cum by that thought alone.

probably likes cockwarming while he's playing his games and as much as he whines and begs for you to do something while having him buried in you, it gives him the motivation to try and win his games.

Probably easily jealous, jealous sex is something that happens often as a result and is really the only time he will top because he wants to remind you who you have wrapped around your pretty little finger.

Listen, while he might not like kids, dude loves the idea of breeding you so full that you have a tummy bulge because of him and anything like that being mentioned will get him going.

Ok, look, he's trying with aftercare and while he's not the bed with it, fuck, he's so cute fretting over you despite the fact that he probably got pegged and you should be the one looking after him. Would probably take a bit to even convince him to sit down if he's on the receiving end.

Shadow Freddy please reference shadow bonnie here, as most headcanons about shadow bonnie are similar with freddy

switch Top — got no reason for this one

Shadow Freddy is probably ok with there being a little light within the room, however, he prefers that it remains dim due to the fact he has vision problems due to something about his eyes.

Given that there is a little light allowed to be in the room, Freddy is able to get a bit more creative with you especially since you can see his face.

Being a sensual person, I feel like he's into food play for the reason of watching you squirm, especially using things such as chocolate since it's better to clean up compared to sticky items such as honey. Will not dribble any near any sort of holes or in any areas where it may be uncomfortable, mainly will dribble around the chest and stomach.

ok this is more fluffy and cute than nsfw but humming while stroking his fingers down his back, lulling you to sleep and making sure you're well looked after if how most sessions with him end.

100% would tell you he loves you while balls deep inside, sorry.

Phantom Freddy (ngl this cunt gave me the hardest time)

ok, so it's actually hard as fuck to put a label on this one because I feel like he's a bit all over the place depending on his general mood, however, there tend to be some consistencies whenever the two of you get intimate.

Loves to scare the shit out of you when he's in the mood, something about wanting to hear the blood racing through your veins before he got to the "main show" as he calls it. However, if you're showing hella real distress.

he is and always is terribly corny during sex, spitting out stupid puns or lazy remarks that make you want to roll your eyes, though don't open your mouth or he'll shove you down on to him.

You know Billy Loomis from the first scream? Very similar personality, for those who haven't watched it, a bit unhinged but clever.

Ironically, despite liking to play with fear he stresses the idea of safewords during sex since he's dead, a literal ghost, he cannot tell if something will hurt you or not since he cannot feel it and has on occasions gone too far. This scares him, please make sure you use your safe words with him.

Nightmare Freddy

Soft or strict daddy dom, no in between — people forget that before Glamrock, Nightmare was the original DILF of the Freddys since look at him and his three sons. He defiantly knows how to dick down.

Despite being a nightmare, I feel like he's also a huge person when it comes to safewords and its one of the first things discussed since he knows he can get a bit carried away when he gets into it. He's someone who follows carnal instinct, he knows he can easily hurt you and even gives you other options to stop him if he doesn't, even full permission to knock him the fuck out.

Like most of the other Freddys, huge into praise but is defiantly more dirty when it comes down to it, and if you allow it, will call you things such as his 'little slut', 'cumdumpster', and even 'little breeder'.

Call him 'daddy' and you won't be able to walk for days.

100% also into fear play, he's a motherfucking nightmare ofc.

Being a father of three, you would think that was enough for him, but fuck he likes the idea of you being round and pregnant with his offspring and will mention it.

If you're pregnant, he would 100% be willing to dick you down every time you ask him, hell, he wouldn't even give a shit if he didn't get to cum if it meant that he got to see your face flushed, stomach large with his spawn and begging for more. Hell, you'll get the same thing if your stomach is just distended from his cum.

also god-tier aftercare.

Nightmare

Dom top, is defiantly into master/pet play and wants your total and utter submission

if he can inflict any pain on you, he fucking will because I don't think he'll show any mercy unless you actually scream your safeword, and that will take a few times given that his name reason of existence is to bring pain.

Probably one of the least healthy dynamics out of any Freddy on this list when it comes to the bedroom, probably rivalled by Funtime's craziness when it comes to giving affection since he'll only do it in bed to watch your eyes bubble with tears as he says sweet nothings while cutting into your skin with one of his fingernails, sharp as a knife.

Now, he won't kill you or maim you, no, no, that's not something that will do, but drawing blood is something he defiantly loves to do [if above wasn't enough of a reason to guess that], especially if he gets to lick it up.

Wants to use you as a fleshlight, will use you as a fleshlight. His hand can fit around you so easily and hold shit it's hot ok.

He's ok at aftercare, but he isn't exactly good at it in terms of the patching up part since he exists to hurt, not care for. He does try though. Excellent cook tho.

Nightmare Fredbear

Soft sadomasochistic switch (mostly top)

Holy fuck this man is different compared to the regular Fredbear, because basically mix him and Nightmare and you have the perfect example of how Nightmare Fredbear is.

You have the mixture of the tenderness of Fredbear and then the sadism of Nightmare and it's so delicious the way he looks at you, calling you the sweetest names while you're choking on his cock.

Pull on his hair and scratch the shit out of him, step on his balls and not let him cum, as much as he loves to give you [compared to his normal self] pain he loves receiving it back and those little blissed noises he makes between pained grunts will send shocks to your regions hidden below.

the thrill of being both under him and being in control of him are both an amazing feeling given how he's a beast of a creature. Huge, deadly, and yet he shows compassion for you like no other man could.

If you're both down for it, he would love to try out breath play since watching your face turn different shades as he's plowing into you is so erotic for him and holy shit listening to your mewls like that is a huge turn on. Won't restrict you for too long in fear of you passing out (unless you like that), but seeing how his hand can fit around your throat so easy - huge turn on.

Better aftercare than Nightmare, that's for sure, however, he can be a bit clumsy about it sometimes. Any nick with his nails will be kissed better as he hands you a cup of water.

Funtime Freddy

Sadist top — Funtime is obviously like, halfway to becoming the FNAF version of Joker in canon and you cannot tell he doesn't like the idea of hurting his partner and will not bottom for anyone. Being with him is defiantly not healthy when he's in the mood to hurt.

Very attentive for all the wrong reasons at times, sure, he has his soft moments where he'll nuzzle you gently, but as soon as he notices you're relaxed he will fucking bite you. Hard. He will not take a chunk out of you but it sure feels like it.

Like Phantom Freddy, probably deep into fear play and will make sure you're scared of him, however, unlike Phantom Freddy, he thrives off that power. It takes a lot to convince him to stop given how far gone he can be once he senses any sort of fear.

Love, loves to leave marks all over you in places where he knows you cannot hide them. To him, that's his way of telling the world that you are his, and his alone.

Also loves, loves to hear you whimper and moan and say how good he's making you feel [even if you aren't feeling too good] because it strokes his ego. Stroke it enough and he may slow down and praise you, telling you how well you're doing.

terrible with aftercare — he tends to be self-centred but if you're bleeding he will look after you. It's even rarer that he genuinely wants to look after you though.

If I ever write for this Freddy, it most likely would be dub-con esque

Rockstar Freddy

Service top or a soft dom, similar to Rockstar Bonnie he enjoys the idea of having someone with their full attention on him and is defiantly greedy about it too — a bit possessive at times, he really, really just wants all your attention on him.

most likely into thigh riding, especially with clothing on; he doesn't exactly have his own sexual drive himself, but watching as you so desperately try and come to your finish [maybe even with your wrists bound behind your back with his tie], it gives him satisfaction just listening to you beg and plead with him to let you finish. If he's feeling nice he may bounce you slightly, but he wants you to do most of the work.

He's a fucking tease sometimes, loves watching you squirm as he runs his lips up and down your thigh, telling you how good you smell until you're practically begging for him to eat you our / give you head. He wants you to want him.

Also wants to do it on the stage.

Big, big on making sure you've came at least three times before he's had his shot, overstimulating you as he praises you, telling you that he wants to see one more and how sexy you look to him, his other hand dragging up and down your side as he nibbles at your neck.

He and Glamrock Freddy are basically head to head on how amazing their aftercare is, after all, Rockstar Freddy doesn't want his starlet to feel too sore.

Nedd bear

Switch — Like Toy Freddy is probably also a pretty nervous being when it comes to the prospect of being intimate with his partners, probably has never felt wanted either, so when you come to him and say that you want him in that way he almost falls over himself.

An absolute sweetheart, defiantly the type to laugh and crack jokes during the moment as a way to ease the tension, Nedd just hates the prospect of you or himself being uncomfortable when you're so bare to each other.

Very vocal and will always ask where you like to be touched, please guide his hands since that may be the favourite part about you: your hands. Show him where you like to be touched, talk to him about what you want to do.

He probably tries to make the first time together rather romantic with roses and everything, though you got a thorn stuck in your right leg since he forgot to cut the thorns off and felt so bad for ruining the mood.

Intertwines your fingers together whenever he can; he loves feeling you grip onto him as if he was the whole world and it makes his chest flutter with giddiness every time you do.

Surprisingly good at aftercare.

Lefty

(he and Fredbear act the exact same way, I might come back to him at a later date)

Glamrock Freddy

Service Top: Glamrock style

Does not have a daddy kink — I cannot see him with it personally and I'm sorry for anyone who wants him to have one.

The most gentle out of all the Freddys and is very loving, even in bed. He will never attempt to hurt you physically and instead likes the idea of pleasing you more than hurting you. The only time he will hurt you is by accident.

On the other hand, he wants you to crush his head between your thighs, please and thanks.

he's fucking huge compared to everyone [nightmares do not count since they're meant to be inhumanly large] else and while his hands may not be able to fit around your waist, he can easily pick you up when he wants you to.

Only Freddy that wouldn't mind doing a threesome — all down for doing it with Bonnie too.

He isn't the type to take unnecessary risks so sorry, no public sex but he can and will take you into any room nearby that can lock to fuck you stupid.

Most interested in toys, as he likes the idea of being able to play with you without touching you directly and will allow you to use toys on him if you so wish.

Ass man, he loves to grab and hold it and will leave pleasant marks on your ass from his grip.

as mentioned before, amazing at aftercare and will make sure that you feel loved.

Happy Heart Panic demo build 16 (NSFT)

So, since my one blog post on Eroico was posted to my blog without issue or trouble, I figured I try my hand at a game that is a little more risque. Eroico was somewhat risque but I was able to get by with editing and pixel blurring the lewd bits while being able to show you the game still. This game I am going to talk about, I have to see as it is more risque.

But I enjoy talking about games and certain things I like or just blogging about my life and things I have done or plan to do but that is enough I suppose and time to get on with the show.

Do you like games? I also like games. Do you like 2D games about furry anthro animals and humans working as a team to stop (evil corp?) from ruining the world? Maybe? I will take it as a yes. Are you a degenerate? Hey, where are you going? I need to talk to you about a happy little game called "Happy Heart Panic!" this rad game was made in game maker studio. How cool is that? The game earned bonus points for that.

Ahem, dear WordPress staff, please don't Thanos snap me and my blog post from existence. I promise this blog post is clean enough with a ton of censoring. Please, spare me.

With that out the way, I can now begin talking about this game that I grew fond of and I had to talk about it, and there is a chance that whatever I have to mention is fixed/removed/patched because, in this blog post, I will talk about Happy Heart Panic demo build 16, which is public.

I saw there is a game before Happy Heart Panic, and it is called "Happy Heart Hell" and since I have not played that game, I will be missing out on some lore. I will wing it. From what I understand there is a person named “trinity” And they are going around causing havoc and chaos, and it is up to Sam, and Whispy to stop trinity or join them instead.

On your adventure, you will see anthro foxes, rabbits, cats, ponies, deers, birds, humans, and much more yes, this game is exotic and there are a lot of fetishes and kinks in this game, and if you are not a complete degenerate, you will/or may not like it.

In this demo, you get five areas to explore and play around with. And you have such fun locations. And I was going to give fun descriptions for these areas based on what I saw but they have descriptions already.

Eden’s Lab

Daisy's Rodeo

Jessie's Playhouse (FNAF-like area)

Tricotex Garden

ABC Daycare

I talked so much about the minor things. I need to focus on other things like bosses and game mechanics, and I took notes and I have a lot. Yes, I love playing this game, I can't turn back now, it is too late for me. Ahem.

Mechanics

As usual, these games have the classic Exotic game mechanic, “struggle” When you are caught by an enemy or enemies, you are given a chance to struggle to break free from the enemy's grip by mashing left and right or whatever you need to press to get free. You are given a choice to do nothing and allow the animation or series of animations to play out which increases the damage you take in your caught state.

Sam and Whispy have different animations when you get caught.

When you get caught, you take a bit of damage and the animation will start. Depending on what or who triggered the animation, you will lose hp at a slow rate, but if the animation has more to it like a series of animations, your hp will start to drain at a faster pace.

In Happy Heart Panic! certain enemies have special animations that trigger a "broken" status after an x amount of time passes or some can proc a unique instant game over, if the animation is allowed to go on without any input from the player.

The broken status is something I like. If you get this status, you will no longer be able to break free from the enemy’s grip and you will be at the enemy’s mercy. Certain enemies will have unique animations, and icons that hint at they can give you a broken status to stop you.

There are a few spots to trigger a unique animation that results in a unique game over, should you find these spots. You are unable to break free, and these areas are meant for you to watch the animation, so, it is wise to save your game.

And some objects and monsters while don’t proc an instant game over will still proc an animation of you being caught by an enemy or trinity monitor to hypnotize you. But you can break free or give up.

Both Sam and Whispy have a unique game over animations depending on the situation, of course.

Since I am talking about mechanics, a big one is the energy bar and the perfect time to lead into the next thing.

Player moveset

The light attack is a one, two combos. Fast and low energy cost but weak.

A light air attack is weak but you will commit to that direction and speed until the light air attack animation ends

The heavy attack is slow but very strong. The energy cost is pretty high.

Dashing is a good move that gains you speed and I-frames if you time your dash right.

Jumping – you jump, man.

Struggling to break out of the enemy's grip does cost energy, but this does vary on the enemy, and if they are a stage boss or not.

Sub weapons do not use energy but have an ammo count for their uses

Zoom in button (Tab) to get up closer.

Taunt to regenerate energy when you are low. Can be used when you are not in a caught state.

Moving on to the boss fights for this game, I have noted as well.

Boss fights

The Lucy fight (secret boss)

The fight is fair and I like this boss fight

It is 3 on 1 (Lucy and her two re-spawning minions)

Fireball hazards projectiles are easy to dodge

Lucy minions are melee focused and have to be near the player to attack

Lucy is magic focused and can attack from afar with spells.

This boss follows the three-hit combo before going into the I-frame state

The Overgrowth

The boss is fair after you learn how it works.

It has a ground vine attack and a projectile.

The dash mechanic has used here in this boss fight if you want to speedrun or time your jumps.

The opening attack is a ground vines so maybe it is meant to be trial and error.

This boss is not hard. Learning the patterns and taking your time with this boss seems to be the goal.

This boss does not follow the three-hit combo before going into the I-frame state. It takes a single hit to do that.

Zahra The Assassin

The boss has two attacks. one being where she tries to grab you, and the second attack is an AOE attack.

The boss reacts normally to heavy attacks from Whispy, like fighting normal enemies.

Zahra attacks are easy to dodge/jump over

The only other threat is Zahra's aoe attack and the trinity monitor that drains your energy if you stand under it.

It could be a little harder but it is fine for what it is. I think the fight is good, it doesn’t need to be balls to the wall hard.

This boss also follows the same three-hit combo before going into an I-frame state.

Now for silly ideas, Things I like, and things I disliked.

Ideas

I thought the honey on the floor during the Zahra fight would slow your walking speed down. But that could be a neat idea to play with, which could make the player use a dash more. This would probably be more work than it's worth.

You could show off some progress on how close you are to breaking free from an enemy's grip. A bar that fills up or a percent value to show feedback that you are making progress.

Progress on how close you are getting to a broken status / x status would be nice.

A tutorial stage to teach the player about the moveset of the character and get a feel for the game.

Things I liked

Spritework

Artwork

Voice actors

The game engine as a whole is great

Bosses, enemies, and NPCs have a lot of detail and it is nice

Zones or levels or locations have a charm to them.

Fourth wall breaking.

The boss fights

The OST. It has tracks that fit the level theme or boss them well

Things I disliked

Farming money is a bit of a grind if you don't like farming bosses

The game does lag a bit if a lot is going on. (Could be my pc)

Nothing really to dislike.

Bugs

The Overgrowth Boss has a bug where you can take double damage if you get caught while overlapping the boss.

Zahra The Assassin reacts to sam's heavy attack by being launched into the air or getting sent up a little and sent back a small amount from a heavy attack by sam and allowing the boss to sneak in a hit.

Using sam's heavy attack, you can juggle Zahra The Assassin in the air, but what I mentioned above can still happen.

While juggling the Zahra The Assassin with heavy attacks, the boss with have iframes after a while, but you can still juggle/damage the boss in this state when you are not supposed to.

Crashes but more like errors

The hallway before you fight Zahra The Assassin.

Closing thoughts

When I picked up this demo, I figured it would be a super simple game NSFW game but there is more here than I thought and I'm impressed and shocked since most NSFW games I have seen are visual novels, RPGs, or others, and I'm more of a 2D platformer guy, sometimes 3D if the game is good.

And just the fact this was made in game maker studio, and not unity has earned brownie points for that alone. The demo is solid, it shows off what it has to offer and what is to come next in the future may be, and I'm interested in this little gem of a game and the direction it will head to.

I will keep an eye out for this game, and this will be one game that is going to be on my radar, I can't wait for the game to be released on Steam or itch.io. I will be willing to pay and since me being on Twitter for so long, I saw fetishes and kinks that peaked my interest, and then there is a site with an "e” but with WordPress looming over me, ready to Thanos snap me out of existence.

Doggie Bones, good job with this demo and game you made here. It made me want to check out the other games before this one. I wish you the best on your adventure to complete this game. I’m rooting for you.

Now, it is clear that this game is not made for everyone. If fetishes and kinks are a turn-off for you, you won't be into this. But if you are a complete degenerate like me. You can give this demo a try, and maybe might like something about it or even learn something about yourself.

That’s all I wanted to say about this game. Good stuff. If I got something wrong, let me know. :3

I have to ask… That Anthro donkey in Jessie's Playhouse. It reminds me of Fluttershy when discord corrupts her because she reminds me a little of her.

ik the croods isn’t part of rotbtd (it can count in extended universes, but generally its a no) but i feel i have to talk about it because it genuinely scares me regarding the rotg rumours (which im skeptical about).

The Croods was part of what i consider the golden era of dreamworks animation. and it came out after rotg, its on the advert reel on my rotg dvd, i cant not compare the two.

Dreamworks made some amazing movies in terms of plot, characters and graphics. I’ve never seen movies as detailed or as pretty as some of the movies that came out during this period.

Rotg has amazing skin detail, and was able to make a magical, bright world without me feeling like it was a set or that it was made out of plastic.

the Croods was imersive, the characters movements and the use of colour to show their progression from animalistic/closed minded to human/open minded was top notch.

Kung Fu Panda made anthro animals behave like real animals long before zootopia, it commented on extinction and genocide, self worth and so much more.

Megamind is an amazing movie about a villain who we sympathise with from the very beginning becoming a hero, it comments on racism and the treatment of neurodivergent people.

so many of dreamworks movies have been favourites of my dads because they let men be big and gross and still let them be soft and vulnerable.

I enjoyed so many of their movies as a child, more than any of disney’s, and i still enjoy them now.

but Croods 2 makes be terrified for any potential rotg sequels/tv series or what not because it’s... it looks bad...

my biggest issue is that it’s not telling the story of the croods. its telling the story of the bettermans - and you can absolutely do that... in another movie called the bettermans.

if the writers wanted to carry the plot forward by having the croods meet up with new, more civilized characters then they should have shown the croods struggling, and feeling ‘other’. maybe it makes guy feel split between his new family and the culture he feels most comfortable in. make the plot about self worth and confidence and family instead of a cookie cutter ‘im trapped by my parents’ plot. that’s just the same as the first movie, only you’ve removed the fear and survival sub plot and replaced it with ‘ooh no scary thing, dont leave the walls or youll die’ which just feels like tangled or frozen or even shrek. it’s an overused plot that only works when the subplots or character development is compelling.

and good god the colours its so saturated i think im gonna vomit.

look at these shots from the first movie,

pretty right? now look at these ones,

i am utterly disgusted with whoever okayed this plastic, saturated nightmare.

the textures from the last movie are absent, instead we get plastic people. and i think someone applied the same critism to httyd 3 bc the hair doesnt look like hair anymore. its off. the clumpyness of it in the first movie was better than the airbrushed look it has now.

just to compare, heres the croods from the first movie vs the second. take a look at the skin details, the hair, the textures of their clothes,

its more evident in the close ups of eep’s scars,

compared with this from the first movie,

THE LINES ON HER HANDS! HER FRECKLES! EEP BABY WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOOOOOOUUUUU

but the reason this scares me so much when it comes to a rotg sequel is because rotg is loved so much for its visuals and the way it handled the ‘villian threatens the world’ plot because that is also overused but it was so unique in rotg because of the characters and the way they behaved.

the croods was similar to rotg in most regards. they both had amazing textures, colours, worldbuilding, characterisation and both handled their overused plots with grace (although rotg was a bit rushed at the end tbh).

and what makes it worse is that rotg can be expaned upon in so many directions. there are so many mythical figures they could add. i dont want a movie about the leprechaun or the ground hog or a banshee or mermaid or whatever they choose. i would want a movie developing the characters we already got. we had a whole movie introducing these characters and their dynamics! Use it!!!

Just take a look at what they did to the croods, then look at what we got in rotg,

it would be so easy to tip these over into saturated clusterfucks, but they didnt, and it is beautiful. but that also means that rotg 2 could be soooo fucking gross looking. not to mention the character models. can you imagine someone like jack being airbrushed?

look at the detailling!!!!

I can see the veins in his hands, and the way the frost sticks together on his hoodie!

i understand that the croods 2 is not even out yet, but im already disapointed and i havent even MENTIONED the pink sloth (kiilllll it).

my point is that dreamworks took an amazing movie and stripped it of everything that made it good. and rotg has so, so far to fall.

the croods is exactly what not to do with a sequel, and it’s similarities to rotg? the fact that it’s the same damn company?

#negativity #i apologise to everyone who likes tihs trailer #thats valid #but i fucking hate it #purely because of what it means for any possible rotg sequels

Since it’s Valentines Day, I guess it’s time for me to share the fictional crushes I’ve had on characters throughout my life:

My Fictional Crushes Throughout History:

Shadow The Hedgehog

Shadow was the first fictional crush that I had as a kid and the one that I can mention at the top of my head with some bravery and expectation of confusion and humiliation from others. I guess after learning of his existence in Sonic Riders (my first Sonic game) and onwards into the Sonic series (and a bit of Smash), I started to develop a crush on Shadow thanks to his design and personality after learning more and more about him. I believe that his portrayal in Sonic X especially had an effect. I mean, I wasn’t the only one to have a fictional crush on Shadow, considering how many fan girls he’s had over the years.

Mephiles The Dark

And then after Shadow, I eventually developed a fictional crush on Mephiles from Sonic ‘06. I believe I was 12 or 13 at the time that I did. I’d say this one is even weirder than the Shadow crush. But if it wasn’t for my interest in Mephiles and well, Solaris as a whole, I probably wouldn’t have discover my interests in the sources that beings like Solaris is based off of, like biblical mythology and other forms of mythology, space-time itself, and the sun and the moon. Therefore, they have been an important and influential character to me as unique as that may be to others. Delving more into Solaris in ‘06, I started to believe that he wasn’t the true villain of Sonic ‘06 as he was an entity whose power was being misused in the wrong hands of a very desperate and selfish human. That being the Duke of Soleanna, who wanted to save his wife from whatever presumed death that she had by harnessing Solaris’ power over time itself and even find a way to give humanity the power of time-travel in order to correct their past mistakes which mind you, is a bullshit and an absolutely dangerous, selfish, and idiotic idea. Perhaps one of the worst ideas I have ever heard in my life. Humanity absolutely does not deserve to be in possession of such abilities at all, PERIOD. Imagine all the recklessness, greed, bickering, fights, and just flat-out stupidity. Ugh, you’re just giving humanity the ability to not only make more mistakes, but potentially worsen their past mistakes. LIKE, WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?!?! I mean, when you learn that, it’s absolutely no fucking wonder why Solaris got all pissed and went batshit crazy throughout space-time. I mean, I would’ve too if some fucking idiot tampered with my power and form like that. And it didn’t help that Eggman was obliviously trying to repeat the same stupid action that the Duke did. I swear mad scientists tend to be the true evil and the creator of evil in existence. They’re one of the archetypes that do a great job at pissing me off. Well, they’re not called “mad” for nothing.

Solaris is just a misunderstood entity who just needed better guidance and treatment in existence. It’s why I even imagined the possibility of Solaris being saved and given a better chance towards redemption and understanding. After their backstory, I felt so sympathetic towards them as a character. Sure, Mephiles plan could’ve made more sense in the script by being less convoluted and more simple in the script alongside the time-travel plot itself, but we can’t forget that ‘06 was indeed rushed in development so it’s no surprise that writing for the game’s story was also rushed and didn’t have enough time for some scenes and decisions to be reconsidered.

But regardless, Solaris holds a special place in my heart and the inspiration they have given me has been a gift. So even if they’re outside of the existence of the Sonic universe, I shall never forget about them.

Crazy Hand

There was a time where I got really interested in Master Hand and Crazy Hand from Super Smash Bros. After discovering Crazy Hand’s existence in Melee, I suddenly started watching more videos featuring him and Master Hand, even if it was the same few videos. Like I was deeply analyzing the two hands in action. I was so fascinated, yet pretty intimidated by them. I believe that Crazy Hand had fascinated me the most, given the way of how he parallels Master Hand and his personality. Then all of a sudden, I started crushing on him...How utterly weird of me to be crushing on a giant floating disembodied hand of chaos and destruction....

Daxter

Daxter was my top favorite character of the Jak and Daxter series. Not to mention how much the series is a childhood icon to me. I also loved the design of ottsels/precursors. It inspired me in terms of anthro designs. I know, I’m pretty much a furry at this point with these crushes. I guess that I can now relate to Tess, who eventually became an ottsel/precursor just to officially be Daxter’s girlfriend.

Joker (P5)

Back when he was announced to be included as a fighter for Smash Ultimate. It was my first exposure to Joker and Persona 5 itself. And back when his Smash fighter self was still in development, I felt interested enough to research Joker then eventually look into Persona 5. I started to adore his design and silent protagonist self. His fluffy looking hair, glasses, phantom thief design, and personality, and that smile made me develop a crush on him. He’s pretty much the only fictional human character that I had a crush on out of all the crushes here and that’s saying something.

A Fan-made Genderbend Waifu Nightmare From Kirby

Okay....how the hell do I explain this..? So back when I had a peak interest (and fear) in one of the most underrated Kirby characters and final bosses, Nightmare, I looked up fan art of him and discovered this sorta genderbend waifu interpretation of him on the Internet. I was interested in the design, enough to make an original character of mine have their design inspired off of it and that’s mainly where my crush was targeted on. Knowing that this had to do with Nightmare from Kirby of all characters, this is perhaps the weirdest and most embarrassing crush of them all. This would just be the beginning of me getting invested into oneiric (dream) characters.

NiGHTS

When I was starting to really invest into the NiGHTS universe and NiGHTS themselves, I started to appreciate their design and personality to the point where I found it attractive and relatable at times. This crush hasn’t been a constant nor lasting one though, so I see it as a small crush instead.

Wizeman and My Own Fan-made Gender Bend Waifu Parallel of Him, “Wize-Chan”

Ah jeez, here we go again. So, um, like Nightmare, I had a notable interest in Wizeman as a character and was also greatly intimidated by them at the same time. I eventually started thinking that he was a bit cute in the first game. Seriously, why I do I eventually develop crushes on the same characters that I get scared of? Am I a psychological masochist or have Stockholm Syndrome or something? In order to ease my fear, I made the jokes on this platform on Wizeman and the other NiGHTS characters. Sometimes, fear can be a great motivator and that already scares me alone. One of those jokes involved redesigning Wizeman as a Waifu named “Wize-Chan”:

When humanizing the design, I wanted to maintain the surrealism of Wizeman’s design, so I made sure not to humanize it too much. That’s why the shadowy legs are phantom-like and the robe acts more like a cloak than a robe with a presumed shadowy phantom body underneath. Probably think of it how Darkrai from Pokémon has these slim legs that it can make to stand on something. Idk. Jokes aside, I felt that this was an embarrassing thing to make. But recently, I’ve looked back on the design and I started to develop a fondness over it. She was just too adorable to ignore. It motivated me to draw more of her and establish a personality. She still maintains Wizeman’s personality and god complex, but with a tsundere touch to it. She also uses the insult “degenerate” occasionally since I imagined Wizeman in Journey of Dreams using it. (Example: “Eh? You want me to step on you? Ugh, DEGENERATE.”) She can get accused of being a furry, but she gets offended and denies it. There’s never a place for violence in a relationship, but Wize-Chan differs. I suppose Wize-Chan here can be compared to Bowsette, since it’s taking a villain and turning them into a Waifu character. You could look at it that way if you wanted to. Wize-Chan also likes to bully Owl whenever she gets the chance.

Speaking of Owl, I recently designed a Waifu form of him—

Arceus

Just a little bit. It was a minor crush. Afterwards I changed my mind and started seeing them as a mother figure instead. I like to refer to them as “mom”, “mommy”, “Mama Llama”, "o-ka'a-san" (Japanese for mom), and “Mother”. Arceus just naturally feels like a mother figure to me, as weird as that sounds. I mean, it makes sense, considering that they’re Pokémon God and God is always interpreted as referring to his creations as his children. That’s been interpreted the same for Arceus. I mean, it’s okay for your mother or father to be your valentine, right? That, and why am I so invested in creator entities/deities so much?

So over the years, I’ve had fictional crushes on 1 anthropomorphic artificial hedgehog with alien DNA, an anthropomorphic otter and weasel hybrid that also belongs to a race of ancient beings that run the universe as its god, a sun god of time, a giant floating disembodied hand that’s the destructive god of the Smash universe, Pokémon God itself until I started seeing it as my Pokémon mother, a Waifu form of a personification of nightmares, a disobedient nightmaren then eventually just their creator as well as a Waifu parallel of him, and 1 human..huh.

ROUND 2 SIDE B: I HAVE ZERO QUIRKY DESCRIPTION IDEAS FOR THIS

Sly Cooper (racoon; Sly Cooper) vs Lord Arum (lizard; The Penumbra Podcast)

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT!

Sly:

"He didn't make it into my furry poll and it made me SO SAD he's my fav!!!! I am a raccoon furry he was made specifically for me. Hes so fucking funny. Gentleman thief character. What else can you want. He's so silly."

"I very much want to point out the series' really impressive comic-book styling in its art, I know that doesn't have much influence on the anthro-ness of it but I think it gives the world (and its character designs) a very unique visual flair that I don't really see in animated mediums. Sly is also a sarcastic fuck and I love his annoying ass he's like my bastard cat who scratches my face"

Arum:

Propaganda post <3

Ducktales Reviews: The Trickening!

Halloween Havoc continues! Louie’s greed and lack of concern for his brother’s feelings or well thought out schedule leads them to a real life haunted house with vampire clowns, dummies, a scary well lady and a gelatinous cube. Because there’s’es always room for gelatinous cube. Meanwhile Della wants to use Launchpad’s dangerous misconceptions about halloween to traumatize children for funzies and Donald had a problem with that for some reason. Also Scrooge is kind of an asshole on Halloween it turns out. No one is suprised. Ghosts, goblins, and full review with spoilers under the cut.

Happy halloween month everybody! Halloween Havoc, aka my spate of halloween reviews continues as I roll into my first actual halloween episode review of the season! Yeah weird but so far we’ve covered demons getting exorcisims, little girls thinking they can raise the dead, and a horrifying plauge guided by the human incarnation of all that is evil, but not the actual holliday itself. Weird ain’t it? Well that changes with this so as always pitter patter.

It’s HALLOWEEN here in duckberg, and the mansion kids are planning Trick or Treating. Natural given Huey’s OCD, he has everything planned out a and naturally the kids all have unique and adorable costumes. Huey is gizmoduck, though with a GK instead of GD, a nice nod to “New Gizmokids on the BLock’ From the original series, an episode I haven’t seen but have heard of so theres that. It’s also because he likely wants to be Fenton’s kid sidekick which.. yeah please do that show. It’d be so fucking adorable. Plus Huey needs to be happy for once without having to go through a gauntlet of misery first. Let my boy be happy. +

Anyways Dewey’s is rather disapointing as it’s a “pirate on vacation” which while hilarious and very dewey, is kind of an anti-climax after months of speculation. Webby is some kind of ancient demon king as apparently in the duckverse the origins of halloween are based on appeasing various monsters, and this is so she can hide from them effectively. And Louie.. is Huey. Which means putting on Huey’s hat and a terribly insulting impression of him.

Meanwhile Donald and Della are an angel and a devil, with, which I didn’t realize until a tumblr post, Della’s costume being the one one of the boys wore in the classic disney trick or treat short. So that’s a nice nod. Donald wants to nicely give out candy while Della wants to terrify the children. Both end up disapointed as Scrooge instead boots everyone from the house and locks the mansion gates, as he doesn’t like giving out handouts which.. yeah that tracks.

As it turns out Scrooge also has his own plans.. which are gloriously ludicrous, sounding like something Glomgold would do: He’s going to go trick or treating himself, as when he was a boy, this was the one time of year a poor lad like him could get treats and he worked his tail off to do so and wants to prove he’s still got it. And as we see later SOMEHOW he still gets candy. It’s like if THIS was actually sucessful.

I would genuinely not be suprised if Scrooge too hadn’t tried to get an oil well from an elementary school this way. As for leaving candy out he leaves out an empty take one bowl which is as clever as it is douchey. So in other words Scrooge in a nutshell. So with handing out treats and scares at the house a non-option, Della and Donald go to see what Launchpad’s doing since Beakly.. is.. I have no fucking idea. NO I really don’t, she shows up for the ending, but before that? If they mentioned where she was I clearly missed it because she’s just.. missing for most of the episode and given every other member of the main cast is accounted for this episode, it’s VERY noticable. Give her more to do dangit!

So yeah we get our two plots, which i’ll cover seperately, then cover the ending where they dovetail together. Kay? Kay.

The Kid’s Plot centers around Huey and Louie.. specifically Louie wanting to go to a real life haunted house while Huey, as mentinoed has heavily established plans for their night. As for why Louie would go into danger, well as usual for when he does that theirs something in it for him: Rumor has it no kid has ever made it out with their candy.. thus leaving decades worth of candy just waiting to be nabbed and thus never having to trick or treat again. One big score for a payoff.. which didn’t make a lot of sense on first thought and my best guest is whatever preservative Gyro used for Oxy Chew, since it was still edible decades later, was probably spread to other candies since there’s no way in hell Scrooge would pass up a zillion dollar invention like that. Either way works. Huey is outvoted as Dewey naturally wants the excitment and Webby wants to see if her demon costume works on actual demons. However things quicklky go wrong as they ecoounter a dewey dummy and a killer dummy, as well as a monster clown and a gelatonous cube, which yes. I may not play DnD but I love these things.

The kids escape the house by accident while tryign to escape and Louie, still being a dick about things, finds out Huey DID know abotu the stash btu avoided it and Louie lays into Huey.. a bit much honestly, feeling he was agaisnt it purely because it wasn’t on schedule.. when you know, Louie could’ve asked to put it on schedule or actually given a damn about this, especially since Huey’s planned their trick or treats EVERY YEAR, so he’s had a full year to ask for this insane idea, or even the short time he’s known about it if shorter. Sure huey might of sputtered a bit, but Louie knows his other siblings, Webby and Dewey could convince him to loosen up and include the house. Louie’s just being kind fo a selfish dick here.. however i’ts not so overwhelming as to overpower the episode, as he has been before and while he should know better about risking his family’s lives after “Timephoon!” it is in character for him to protiize a big score like this over other people’s feelings and it’s not even the first time this season he’s done that. So fair enough.

But we soon get the second best reveal of the episode: As the kids are backed into a corner by monsters.. they grumble theres no candy and it turns out the monsters.. ARE REAL.. but their traditional monsters like frankenstein, dracula, and the bride of frankenstein, just dressed up like this to scare kids. As it turns out the WHOLE THING is an elaborate yearly scooby doo hoax to get kids candy, with the brilliant twist it’s done by actual monsters> As the vampire points out they can’t exactly shop during the day.. or he can’t at least, so this is how they get candy for the year.. at tribute if you will. Also the Gelationous Cube gets a nice hat as you see above. It’s a REALLY clever twist and I absolutely love it. I DID NOT see it coming and even with some spoiler screenshots I thankfully did not have it spoiled for me. REALLY good stuff.

As for why Huey’s been so obessed with his planning.. it’s actually really clever and really good character stuff: Huey simply got really into it because back when they were with donald this WAS their adventure for the year: the one time he let them cut loose and have fun, and he got a real kick out of it.. and Louie getting candy for life kind of destroys that. And that’s why Louie still works here.. because he instnatly realizes from this that was the problem and apologizes in his own way. It’s a nice bit of character from both: We’ve rarely had their pre-mansion lives factor in and it’s nice to see it for a change, and it’s nice to see Louie isn’t all dick, just like 20% dick. Unforutnately having no candy dosen’t appease the monsters who are pissed and descend on the kids.. until.. well for the until we have to back up a bit. So onto the adult plot we go! Della and Donald go to Launchpad whose dressed in a jason mask and ash williams/jason coveralls, weilding a power sander and having barricaded his place. After he scares some children, a bit too much, and Della and Donald are reallyd amn confused, he explains.. and we get the best reveal of the episode.. which given the above is saying something but it’s clear like the “blath” gag in “Astro BOYD” and the non-anthro ducks gag last week, this is one of those things Frank has been keeping under his hat all series. So as a boy Launchpad crashed his tryke into the mansion, ran into the monsters after reading off a candy wrapper.. and now assumes he unleashed a horde of monsters onto the world every halloween.. and tha’ts what he assumes the trick or treaters are. I just .. dont’ have a lto of words. This is pure comedy gold and easily the best gag of the episode and oen fo the best of the series. It’s clever, fresh, and really fits the character. Naturally Della wants to exploit this to terrify children ebcause she has underlying issues to adress while Donald tries to stop her. Thankfully before Della can get launchpad to scar children for life, Scrooge shows up and fights launchpad.. it’s part of why I also find scrooge’s dickery acceptable as launchpad beats the shit out of him.. it’s still an even fight, as not to suspend disbelief, but Scrooge still looses. I mean he gets out of being trapped in his candy bag easily because scrooge btu still, props to launchpad. So Launchpad decides to go face his fears and Donald and Della decide to stop him before he doesd a muder on a child. Which leads to an AMAZING climax as Launchpad scooby doo chases the scared monsters around as they have no idea what the fuck’s going on and hte monsters end up really enjoying his scar eof htem and bowing to the master. It’s a good way to end it. After Della explains what’s going on, Louie and Huey decide to explain halloween to Launchpad by taking him to the once house he hasn’t been: the Manor. Scrogoe has finally opened it up, with a line of kids no less, the monsters bond with some kids in line. As for why.. as Webby sadly figures out Scrooge is charging admission, thakns to dewey who thought an all night candy store was a good idea which.. yeah it is. So everyone gets a happye ending and the monsters hang a photo of hte night up in the mansion. A really sweet ending, pun uintended but eh it’s welcome.

Final Thoughts. Easily one fo the series best. While the characters are a bit exagerated in places, i.e. della, launchpad , scrooge and louie, it works for the plot well enough and the jokes well enough to make it okay. My only real complaint is a lack of even a cameo from Lena and Violet, as it feels weird to not even have htem in the ending, much less trick or treating with their friends. It just feels odd and could’ve used a throaway line. I get WHY not , as Lena even pre-blue would’ve destoryed the tension with the monsters, but it still feeels really weird to not have them. But it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise REALLY funny and creative episode and a fun halloween treat to revist every year from now on. Really good work. That does it for this week. For more halloween treats, follow this blog throughout october. So far i’ve done reviews of Demonicsim from Star Vs The Forces of Evil for Tomtober, Croaked, the Casagrandes day of the dead Special and the first of Marvel’s mini-series adapting Stephen’ King’s epic novel The Stand. And until next monday, or sooner if you decide to check any of that out, happy halloween!

Let’s Talk About Pokemon - Toxel and Toxtricity

848: Toxel

Mmmmmm. I don't remember if I've ever said it in this review series, but I have a really bad repulsion to babies. Toxel isn't exactly being an exception here. Combination of the baby fat in the cheeks and lips and dumb little oversized head and its tongue and its bald-looking lightly misshapen head and AUGH. No sirree, Toxel had a snowball's chance in hell for falling into my good graces just from being so heavily baby-based alone.

It doesn't help that it has a diaper and... oh no... is that why it's Poison type? Please don't tell me that's why it's Poison type. Oh god I dreaded what this thing might turn into when it evolved, and I probably only would've evolved it because my own sister was insistent I keep this horrible little slime goblin around to see what it turns into.

Maybe, just MAYBE I'm being a little too harsh on Toxel, maybe not any of its features are inherently bad but that's just too bad for me I guess. I just had to be a kid in the 90s when a cartoon that was big at the time just happened to air an episode that highlighted all the gross things about babies all at once in a nightmarish context that gave me a goddang phobia of the friggin things as a child. While I don’t really have a crippling fear of them anymore I sure as hell don’t wanna go near one if I can help it. Maybe I'd be writing a very different review right now if a show like that didn't ruin babies forever for me but I guess we'll just never know. And I can’t say I’d ever be very affectionate to a Pokemon that instantly made me think of a scene that scared the ever-loving shit out of me as a kid thank you very much.

...Other than... ALL that... Toxel doesn't have anything going for it anyways. Poison/Electric is a neat typing that was feeling like it was going to waste because it's just some purple thing with a spark of electricity glued to its forehead I guess because they didn't think it looked “Electric” enough. I don't even like the grumpy face cause it's still very babyish. At least in this context... plant these grumpy eyes on literally anything else and I'd probably be all for it but euch. EUCH. The only advantage it really has going is that it’s fairly non-descript as an animal so it looks fairly solidly just-a-monster in a Gen 1 sorta way. But other than that...

Personal Score: 2/10

849: Toxtricity

...How the hell did one of my new least favorite Pokemon of all time suddenly become my top favorite in all of Galar???? Well, whatever. Be careful who you call ugly in preschool, I guess.

Gamefreak must've known they had a hit on their hands with this one, I'm surprised it was a Pokemon they kept secret until the game came out given how much it's skyrocketed into popularity (Striking number 2 in Gen 8 in the Pokemon of the Year polls, only just behind Galar's pseudo legendary). It's definitely at least pushed like one of the flagship Pokemon of Galar, with statues dedicated to it and its own G-Max form that they felt the need to keep further under wraps until very recently, only teasing its appearance as a hill figure. You're even handed a free Toxel at the Daycare. Frankly I'm alarmed no major character even has one on their team!

But this design in general totally is one of the stars of the show in Gen 8. While it definitely lifts aspects of salamanders and other amphibians into its design, it feels a lot like the classic “just a monster” type design from Pokemon's early days. The way they anthropomorphize it is neat too. It has an overall comical body structure with a long neck, lanky long arms and amusingly tiny legs.

Its face is also great. The tired, dreary eyes are cool and it thankfully turned that badly implemented bolt feature from Toxel into a full on electric mohawk! The head spikes are also neat, especially at the angle it holds its head back in its default pose ingame, it sorta evokes the look of the head of an electric guitar.

And that right there's the whole aesthetic of Toxtricity, of course! They're punk rockers! All covered in spikes and everything, even right down to having spiked belt. The little wart-like bulges on its chest are also doubling as guitar strings! There's plenty animations where it strums them to rock out, mohawk lighting up and everything. It strums these warts to generate electricity and make a ton of noise while it does so. That's such a cool way to incorporate an object into a naturalistic element on an animal. I like my objectmon and monsters with on the nose object motifs quite a bit myself, but it's cool that Toxtricity managed to fit an element as specific as an electric guitar's strings into an animal that would normally have no business having such an element but it just works.

And I can understand not everybody digs that color scheme; fairly bright purple and yellow is brave, to say the least, but I'd say it works! Even if I'm oddly enough, kind of a fan of color schemes other people might consider garish, you could say it just works because Toxtricity as a punk rocker is all about tearing down the norms, man. It also helps to make it look far more lively than its more mellowed out cousin.

Which, by the way, Toxtricity has a form gimmick too. A pretty unique one at that, and now that they've had it happen I'm surprised it's only happened just now, but what form your Toxel becomes depends on what Nature it is. The more excitable, energetic sounding natures will become the Amped form above, while the more chill or relaxed sounding natures will become the “Low Key” form.

At first, you'd wonder what that has to do with punk rock and why Toxtricity out of all the band-themed Pokemon we've already had up to this point, but a closer inspection highlights that Low Key is more of a bass as opposed to Amped as a guitar. They even have bumps mirroring their respective instruments! Amped has six just like an electric guitar has six strings, while Low Key has four, just like an electric bass has four strings! Low Key even seems to have a slightly longer neck than Amped form does, again, just like how basses have longer necks compared to guitars! It really is so much fun how much mileage they're getting out of the visual theming here. It’s really cool how we got a Pokemon that imitates an inanimate object in a way that’s totally organic and natural-looking way.

To tie all the theming up in a nice bow, they have a unique ability called Punk Rock, which increases the damage their sound-based moves do while halving the damage they take from the same kind of moves. Given that there's some Pokemon that are outright deaf with the ability Soundproof, it's easy to assume that Toxtricity unfortunately suffers from hearing loss. They can still hear, just not as well. Indeed, right under natural aging, the number 2 cause of hearing loss is listening to music too loudly. Much like punks are one to do. Turn down your music, kids!

That said, if I had to pick just one, I'd easily pick Amped just because it generally looks cooler and has a bolder color scheme. The only thing I'm less than sure on for these two is their “tails”... which rather than being tails are now just stiff extra-large spikes jutting out of their butt. And since I used a Toxtricity on my team, thus was looking at the backside of one for most of the game, yeah, hard to not notice. I would've much preferred a more normal tail that could've also had some spikes around the tip of it if you must carry the punk theming that far.

Also I'm not a fan of their name. “Toxtricity” is just toxic and electricity clumsily mashed together and it doesn't really roll off the tongue. Like, was that really the best localization could come up with?? If I had to take a crack at naming it, I would've called it Punkture or something similar.

Personal Score: 10/10

G-Max Toxtricity:

The two Toxtricities share a G-Max form that incorporates elements from them both. And hmm... I'm not as much of a fan of this G-Max, sadly. It's still cool, don't get me wrong, but the tesla coil look to the tail feels out of place and a bit more “generic electric type” imagery to me compared to all the electric guitar/bass theming the previous two had.

It's also huddled down on all fours. I'm sure some are happy about that much, and it helps differentiate it from its normal-sized self, but I felt like being anthro was a little vital to the line's theming, given it needed some free hands to strum its bumps. The spark eyes are also neat but the tired look just looks more amusing to me. Eh. Just every feature here feels “It's neat and all but the basic forms did it better.”

Oh, wait, there is ONE thing!

Its attack animations sees it pulling a literal electric guitar out and smashing its opponents with it. Now THAT is wicked cool!!

Personal Score: 9.5/10

Nutty (Court of Roses)

Children of Shadow: Ashes https://spiderforest.com/comics/children-of-shadow-ashes/ Genre: Anthro/Horror/Urban Fantasy Trigger Warnings: Rated Mature for blood, gore, and intense scenes Reasons: Some of the most lovely pencil work I've ever seen, well-rendered animal art and a compelling world!(edited)

Heirs of the Veil https://spiderforest.com/comics/heirs-of-the-veil/ Genre: Drama/Urban Fantasy Trigger Warnings: Rated PG-16+ for transphobia, dysphoria, mental illness, blood, trauma, body horror Reasons: Absolutely gorgeous artwork, really compelling illustrations of the lgbt experience

Aloe https://spiderforest.com/comics/aloe/ Genre: Adventure/Drama/Sci-Fi Trigger Warnings: Rated Teen for violence and blood Reasons: I'm normally not into sci-fi but this comic is so bright and colorful, I really love it a lot. Also the main character is non-binary!

Millennium https://spiderforest.com/comics/millennium/ Genre: Adventure/Fantasy/Sci-fi Trigger Warnings: Rated PG-13 for Mild Violence and Mild Language Reasons: Lovely art, fun characters, and an engaging space world! I love it so so much.

Sombulus https://spiderforest.com/comics/sombulus/ Genre: Adventure/Comedy/Fantast Trigger Warnings: Rated Young Adult, no warnings Reasons: An absolute blast, super fun story and characters, with a nice long archive too!

Arbalest https://spiderforest.com/comics/arbalest/ Genre: Fantasy/Horror Trigger Warnings: Rated Mature for partial nudity, blood/gore, sex, themes of abuse Reasons: A really compelling story in a non-traditional narrative style, and super spooky to boot.

And finally, to top this off, I'll drop in my own comic as well! Court of Roses https://spiderforest.com/comics/court-of-roses/ Genre: Adventure/Fantasy/Comedy Trigger Warnings: Rated Teen, for Fantasy Violence and Alcohol Use Reasons: Because this is my comic and it's my pride and joy and I love my bards a lot. :3

AntiBunny

Dead Winter http://deadwinter.cc/ Genre: Zombie Apocalypse Trigger Warnings: Violent Reasons: Well it's a straightforward zombie survival comic. What's impressive is how well the artist has studied comics as an art form and put thought and purpose into every panel.

HiddenElephant

http://welcome2earth.webcomic.ws/ Snarky alien crashes onto Earth. Not enough people are reading it in my opinion.

snuffysam (Super Galaxy Knights)

Super Galaxy Knights Deluxe R: http://sgkdr.thecomicseries.com/ Genre: Action, Comedy Trigger Warnings: Blood, Dismemberment Reasons: A recommendation for @Goobatron . It's my comic. The creator is me. Super Galaxy Knights is a story about Mizuki Sato, who goes on adventures through a strange world, making friends along the way. The dialogue is like... 70% banter, 30% total non-sequiturs. The art style uses 3D models, in like a weird cel-shaded style that's meant to be reminiscent of games like Wind Waker and Dragon Ball FighterZ. And there's also a bunch of animated panels/pages. There's also a ton of really strange characters. Like there's a dude whose power is that he always wins knife fights. There's a wizard who shrinks hot dogs and carries them around in capsules. Etc. One warning - the early pages are a bit rough-looking. Some have been redrawn recently, but others haven't yet, so it can be a bit jarring to go back and forth between styles.

Cap’n Lee (Flowerlark Studios)

Clockwork http://www.clockwork-comic.com/ Genre: Fantasy / Drama CW: Some language and violence Clockwork is a comic about Cog Kleinshmidt, a moody teenager with an uncanny talent for repairing machinery. He feels he’s a nobody, but is swept into the turbulent world of politics, and is forced to learn magic in a world where magic is strictly forbidden. The art in this comic is incredibly polished and lively, and the characters are all instantly endearing. The writing is also top-notch. The first time I read it, I was completely sucked in after only a few pages. It’s currently on hiatus while the creator prepares the next chapter, but it’s well worth the wait.(edited)

Moral_Gutpunch

Micheal Morbius: Freelance Vampire http://freelancevampire.thecomicseries.com/ Genre: Drama, comedy Trigger: mentions of death and violence, talk of abusive relationships, mention of rape. It's all in dialog. Micheal Morbius, from Marvel comics, struggles to adjust to a as normal a life as a vampire can have. He helps a friend get back on her feet, he goes through therapy, and he's visited by Spider-heroes, this time a new one. Meanwhile, a true monster lurks int he shadows. The art isn't good, but the story and dialog are worth it. It's my comic. I hope after I get a few more pages going people will enjoy the story. It's a story I've been wanting to write for ages and I figured I'm not going to write for Marvel anytime soon (yes, I checked copyright law, Marvel allows this). Dedicated to Stan Lee.

Pakky

The Boy Who Fell http://boywhofell.com/ Genre: Drama, Adventure, Action, Comedy TW: Violence, blood, fighting, ptsd, suicide, death Synopsis (from the website): The Boy Who Fell revolves around an innocent, softhearted and almost-spineless boy named Ren who suddenly finds himself in Hell after accidentally falling off a school rooftop. He is then forced to partake in a tournament full of powerful and vicious beings in order to attain his only way of going home: an all-powerful wish from the ruler of Hell himself. As the story progresses, lines between allies and enemies are blurred, dark pasts are revealed, political issues come to light and all the while, Ren slowly realizes that in order to survive this journey, he might have to give up the very things that make him human I love this webcomic and have been following this artist for over 10 years now and recommend their work to anyone who will listen haha! Super long running webcomic with a well developed storyline and world.

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

Broken http://broken.spiderforest.com/ Genre: Horror Trigger Warnings: Military, death, monsters Reasons: Broken offers a very interesting twist on the concepts of fairies, presenting you with a fairy general on the battlefield fighting against corrupted abominations. The concepts and worldbuilding here are very interesting and the battle/action scenes are great. Often makes use of animation and some HTML/CSS for extra effect. Of Magic and Muses https://xiicomic.com/magic-and-muses/ Genre: Magical Girls, mystery Trigger Warnings: There's a big monster at some point? Reasons: It's a magical girl story! Except nobody knows what's happening, the powers the girls get are maybe not of a friendly nature and they wear armor? The escalation of events is suberb. It has a large (and growing) cast, but each character has their own unique personality, making them super easy to follow and love. Ghost Junk Sickness https://www.ghostjunksickness.com/ Genre: action, sci-fi Trigger Warnings: violence, limb loss, death Reasons: There's a lot to be said about this comic! I really like the characters, who are deeply flawed and charming and make a lot of mistakes (the main duo having an especially interesting, yet sorta problematic dynamic). The worldbuilding is interesting and quirky to match. The mysterious bounty The Ghost is a looming presence, and apparently we'll be learning more about them soon. Super exciting and fun action scenes too!

Desnik

https://monsterhead.net/ Genre: LGBT+ American rural occult fantasy Trigger Warnings: Animal death, mild body horror Reasons: The author/artist is an OC-loving member of the LGBT+ community, and her work deals with self-love in the face of weird circumstances. Love the colors, Carter is an appealing and relatable main character, and the worldbuilding is something I've never seen before.

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

http://www.phantomarine.com/ Genre: Fantasy, Supernatural Trigger Warnings: Death, Mild Body Horror, Mild Violence, Mild Language Reasons: ...This is my comic! (edited)

Phantomarine is a spooky-but-sweet fantasy webcomic about a ghostly princess and her perilous journey across a haunted sea, hoping to save her soul from a devious, shapeshifting death god known as the Red Tide King. Expect all manner of maritime mysteries – monstrous sea creatures, sacred lighthouses, strange afflictions, accursed marauders, feuding gods, grand sea battles, and a heaping helping of humor in-between.

eliushi [Keyspace]

https://tapas.io/series/KEYSPACE-A-Winged-Tale/ https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/keyspace-a-winged-tale/list?title_no=322364 Genre: YA Science Fantasy, LGBT+ Trigger warnings: Mild body horror/violence/monsters, death Reasons: My comic Blurb: Florence thought her idyllic life living with the winged beings would last forever. However, when her mother disappears from a mysterious expedition, she fears for the worst. Through exploring hidden laboratory tunnels beneath the forest, facing Machines from a century-long war against humans, and seeking guidance from the Lost people from a civilization gone by, Flo and her winged friends must piece together the past in order to save all those they love.

Shizamura 🌟 O Sarilho

O Sarilho https://www.sarilho.net/en Genre: Post-Apocaliptic/Sci-fi Trigger Warnings: War, military, death Reasons: I make it Short description: A small team goes on a mission to enemy territory to find the remains of an ancient satellite and they end up finding a lot more. There are computers and dams and electricity-worshipping future romans (edited)

GGY

Tile: Over 8 Miles https://tapas.io/episode/859067 Genre: Drama, Comedy, Slice of Life Reasons I make it: Cause its fun and I enjoy sharing the existence of my characters and their life outside my brain

Emma (Friends or Lovers?)

Dreamwalker Felix by KT and TK https://tapas.io/series/Dreamwalker-Felix and https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/dreamwalker-felix/list?title_no=182487 Genre: Fantasy/Supernatural Trigger Warnings: There's some body horror in there Reasons: The art is just beautiful, and it has tons of funny moments Friends or Lovers? by yours truly https://tapas.io/series/friendsorlovers and https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/friends-or-lovers/list?title_no=49520 Genre: Romance/school slice of life Trigger Warnings: Mentions and depictions of bullying Reasons: It's my comic, so I'll just quote a reader: "Your comic is more accurate to real teens in love in high school than most. It's really good stuff"

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Earth in a Pocket http://earthinapocket.spiderforest.com/ Genre: Retro Sci-fi, Iyashikei Trigger Warnings: none Reasons: This comic posted its final page very recently! It's a relatively short read; very gentle and hopeful without being cavity-causingly sweet. The creator has put together such a heartwarming story that I've been adoring for a while. One of my faves, now complete!

renieplayerone

O Human Star https://ohumanstar.com/ Genre: Scifi, Robots, Drama TW: Dysphoria, Depression Reasons: The characters are so well written and emotional, plus I love the simplistic color palette. They get across the journey of self-discovery in such an interesting way.(edited)

carcarchu

Arcane Flames https://tapas.io/series/Arcane-Flames Genre: Fantasy Trigger Warnings: death? Reasons: I've been following kutty sark for many years now and I've really been looking forward to this comic which I'm pleased to say even exceeded my expectations. Fantastic art and the tone of the story is just lovely, i adore al'vis

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

https://sfeertheory.com/ The art is incredible. Every character, even the background ones, is full of personality. I love a good underdog story, and Luca's speech in chapter three made me scream into my hands and tear up. I can't recommend it highly enough

Tantz Aerine (Without Moonlight)

http://secondcrimeanwar.thecomicseries.com/

The Second Crimean War is a powerful and fun story in an alternate 1990s decade in Ukraine. The art is black and white and improves in leaps and bounces as you move on in the story! The story itself draws you in from page one. There's suspense, there's (black) humor, there's atmosphere and adventure. Highly recommended if you like war/action/suspense.

varethane

Have you ever read Nasty Red Dogs? https://nastyreddogs.com/

oh golly, haha

yeah, it's a fun and twisted and surreal little tale, the early parts especially are like walking through a really bizarre dream that if you describe it, it ought to be called a nightmare, but at the moment you're in it, it doesn't FEEL like one lol

the creator also does a comic called Feast For A King, which I think is more well-known but I haven't read yet (will at some point tho): https://feastforaking.com/comic/

kelly-zine

Title: Zyra Slash Genre: Sci-Fi, Comedy, Slice-Of-Life TW: None (for right now at least, it just started!) Reasons: I love Alex and their characters so much! ZS is a project I’ve been following and chatting with them about for a long time and it’s amazing to see it come to fruition. I think you’ll like it too. (Note that it’s on hiatus at the moment!) https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/zyra-slash/list?title_no=373763

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Title: Ark https://www.arkcomic.com/ Genre: Fantasy, Drama, Anthro TW: violence (nothing heavy yet, but my Spider Senses are tingling) Reasons: A 1920s-inspired, extremely believable fantasy setting. Hints of racial tension and a possible war brewing on the horizon. It's pretty early in the story, so hop in and claim the front row seats for this gorgeously illustrated comic! (edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Tamberlane https://www.tamberlanecomic.com/ Genre: slice of life, heartwarming, Anthro It has a cast of colourful characters. Charming story of a clumsy bat named Belfry who adopts a little human. Various animal neighbors to love

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I found one of the Chinese webcomics I use to follow, is now on Webtoons. They rename the title to: The Emperor's New Body because it's about body swapping and has interesting depth while some silly hijinks https://tapas.io/series/the-emperors-new-body(edited)

trinketfox

May as well rec my first ever favorite webcomic! Warrior U! https://warrior-u-thecomic.tumblr.com/ It's so expressive and funny that I've always wished it would become a show on cartoon network or something. Only the first few pages are still up on this tumblr since the official site is down, but all chapters are on the artist's gumroad!

It's an episodic comedy fantasy that goes from page-long gags to full episodes. Reccomended for it's humor and a really fun art style.

SteffieMusings

Nebula Beings https://tapas.io/series/Nebula-Beings Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror/Thriller Trigger Warnings: Violence, scary imagery (especially in chapter 7), talks/implied past abuse Reasons: It's a fun series and the two main characters learn to overcome challenges during their travels.(edited)

Encephalon Genre: Sci-Fi, Horror Trigger Warnings: Blood, Gore, Strong Language A rescue crew sent to an abandoned space station comes face-to-face with a bio-computer experiment gone horribly wrong.

This is the comic books for Cafe Suada I used to read way back. It's a fun slice of life about a teahouse shop keeper rivals with a coffee shop manager https://tapas.io/series/Cafe-Suada The artist used some traditonal tea staining for the textures. The story inspired me to draw my own slice of life series(edited)
