Okay okay hear me out hear me out

I literally just finished watching the OG Trigun after watching Stampede like last week and I am simply - haunted by this and need to know if I'm insane or not???

Does Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls not feel so like - vehemently Vashwood coded? From either of their POV?? Like it works both ways??? Am I a madman??? Help???

Do you think you'd ever watch C2 or would you purely stick to Crit Recap Animated for it?

i don't know! i go back and forth on it a lot. For context I watched up to episode 37 and am pretty heavily spoiled on the rest of it. but then i put it down to watch C3, and found myself strongly preferring it. I'll admit, C2's very wandering, "let's do my backstory arc and then we'll do yours" style of storytelling isn't really something i'm crazy about. My favorite part of what I watched by far was the Iron Shepherds arc, because it forced them to focus on something other than their own best interests and react to circumstances outside of their control. player control is important for dnd, of course, but a story where the main characters are almost always in control is often very boring. to me. (you know in retrospect, all the claims that BH don't care about anything or have any motivations are very funny, bc in the parts of C2 i watched the Nein were the most listless, "what the hell, sure," heroes ever lol. except Nott and Caleb, but they were working towards very long term goals they wouldn't even talk about, as opposed to "I want to follow the trail of this assassin that attempted to kill my leader" or "I want to get into this library in town to do research about my hard to control powers and dreams, key word this town".)

so like. I like the Nein well enough (although i will say their parts in C3 did not exactly endear me to them more), but idk if i like them another 400 hours enough 😭 that's a lot of time! there's a lot of other things i'd like to watch, or read, or make, that i would probably enjoy more!! part of me wants to do it anyways bc i'm certain there are parts i WOULD enjoy a lot, and interesting lore to learn about, and even a sense of completionism or that i'm not a "real" CR fan that can speak with authority on the show if i don't, but another part of me is like... 400 hours...

ayo, i just saw your cardan post. i have that book but i've not read it yet. is it worth it?

[🌹]: oh, definitely! i loved this series, holly black's writing style is just so delicious, i eat it up everytime😍

anyway, if you're planning to read it, i have some info for you that you might find helpful!

the first book (the cruel prince) may seem a bit boring for some people, because like the author mainly introduces the characters, focuses on world-building and stuff there. but it does get very interesting during the final few chapters. not everyone finds this book boring though, but many people drop the series after reading (or dnf-ing) the first book because they claim it "wasn't interesting". everyone has different tastes and preferences, so you might not like it, but i'm just saying that the real fun comes after the first book. even though i, personally, loved it from the first.

as i said, the real fun starts from after the first book, from "the wicked king" and "the queen of nothing". this is where holly focuses on the plot twists, world-building, betrayals, and so on.

and i want you to note that if you go into this series expecting romance, you will be sorely disappointed. not to say there isn't any romance, just that it's a sub-plot. many people go into this series thinking there's going to be heavy romance and stuff and then drop the series because there isn't. the genre is mainly faerie politics, betrayals, dark fantasy, etc. etc. so there isn't much romance (although there are definitely scenes that will have you giggling and kicking your feet).

cardan and jude's love story is more woven in with the plot. with subtle scenes where holly deepens their relationship.

after the trilogy, though, there is also another series called "the stolen heir" duology where holly tells the story of oak (jude's half-brother). and his love story with suren (the princess of the court of teeth).

this series isn't necessary to read, but many people do and find it fun, plus it builds on the world of elfhame, so there's that. also, grown up cardan, hello??😍

also, the family dynamics in this series is so ungodly weird, so don't be confused if you don't understand smh.. we can discuss it if you finish the series.

anyway, that's that for my little rant. let me know if you'll pick it up or not!

explanation of design and sketches under cut

I don’t like doing backgrounds or lighting on creature designs.

so yes. the arms actually do face backwards normally for streamlined swimming. also because that is technically his front(?)

A cuddle and jelly mix, I like how flat the mantle is for the face plate and the tentacles match up nicely. Cuddles are also known for color changing so that’s the reason why his ‘face’ can move and his colors can change to ‘da moon man’. the beak is actually on the back and his feeding tentacles can kinda slide together to make that funny hat and ball. 

I always see moon and sun being made into separate species and designs so I wanted to make one that could be just one creature. Very fun designing this!

i wanna talk about how... i had my last class today and we presented our final projects and everyone was so nice about my song and my teachers gave me 18 out 20 and i was surprised because even tho they literally mentioned that they think art should not be graded simply because it's subjective and all, i don't think i've ever had a grade this high on really anything ever? so i really felt very proud of myself on that moment but LATER ON... they asked us individually what we thought of this course and funny enough... i was the last one to talk about my experience and i said that i felt very fulfilled because i never did collaborative work with people before and i learned so much from my classmates! ever since the first day i felt so welcome and since i'm an introvert it's very hard for me to feel comfortable with a group of people immediately and so i was very grateful for that and as i got to talk with all of them individually about music i always felt like i was on the right track and this is honestly what i wanna do because in the end, this career with bring me a connection with people that i never really had until now with any of my friendships and so i'm very grateful but other than that... i also said that if they wanted to reach out to me and collab and do music with me i would always be available and honestly i don't even know how i could be that straightforward it was a first for me i was like wow i really did that??? and they agreed and it made me so happy and especially because i wanna keep being friends with these people like i was on the way there and i thought that i didn't want to not want to see them again after today and hopefully we would keep in touch for anything and we keep being in community hopefully so yeah... i never thought i would feel comfortable to even ask people to keep in touch and actually mean it and hopefully that our friendship will grow over time

[dandyshucks]

part of the reason (a big part. maybe the whole reason tbh idk LOL) why i think a lot about Gu.zma standing up for me and that sort of thing is bc it seems like in my real life (online and physical world) every time someone is cruel to me in a group setting, noooobody does anything. or if somebody says smth bad about ppl like me (whether that be irt queerness, indigeneity, neurodivergence, or smth as simple as personality traits) then everyone in the group just... seems to think its my responsibility to say smth. i feel like it always falls onto my shoulders for some reason to stand up for myself and/or ppl who are like me. and its so tiring and isolating 😭 (i think i have just had Really bad luck when it comes to ppl in my life sdfjkl my family is. obviously not good. and then friends have been few and far between, and the friends i have had have often not been very good)

so to have someone who would actually take on the responsibility to say something and have the difficult conversation w whoever is saying the unkind thing so that i can just... be safe and not have to struggle through that myself. is something that is very meaningful to me lol. it feels kind of unreal to think that anyone would do that for me, so i try to think abt Guz doing that for me to like,,, work thru any shame of Wanting that to happen in real life. bc if anyone does that irl, i want to be able to let them do it instead of (what i may very well do out of instinct) jumping in to tell them they dont have to do that for me bc "actually its okay, im fine and it isn't that big of a deal, it didnt rly bother me ahaha ^^;; you really dont have to do that for me, its probably best to just leave it alone bc i dont want any trouble, i dont want you getting into anything bc of me hahaha ^^;;;;"

HELLO POCKET MIRROR PEOPLE. i have a question

HI so. i originally played this game in 2017 and this last week i decided to revisit it and try out the remastered version. finished it last night and i'm brainrotting hard. Specifically on lisette who used to be my favourite on the original version and continues to be now that i got to go through her section again. WHICH LEADS ME TO.

i've seen a lot of people mention that, originally in lisette's ending, the developers intended for her and G----- to kiss, which is awesome but i haven't been able to find a source for it, does anyone know where this was said or when? i've been trying to find it myself but i haven't had any luck yet. I've seen a few people talk abt it here so i figured y'all might know more abt it

[heffrondriving]

soooo. that new big time rush album huh

[phynixdotcom]

I changed my mind. Hater behavior is undeserved, when it comes to works, & idgaf about holding creators accountable when their games are mid, anymore.
