But fr all the VN games specifically yandere male love interest likely not gonna finish but understandable because it’s a small project and coding is not easy as it looks. What do you think?
eh, I get having a project and losing motivation to finish it. there's so many instances of that, and I got a shit ton of projects I never finished because of the lack of motivation or art/writer's block
there's really no problem with not finishing a game or taking years to do so. it's not an easy task in any way
BUT I do think you should be able to be annoyed at how long a game is taking to come out, you can be impatient, it's fine! I hate waiting a year for another season of Rick and Morty (and the next season's only coming out next year due to grinding too hard or something), and though I do complain about the wait, I can recognize that it's not an easy thing to do — ESPECIALLY when it's an indie show
indie games will take a long time to make, and that is perfectly fine. I'm impatient but am fine waiting years for a good game. I'm pretty sure the main reason why people are verbally impatient with the development of Your Boyfriend, is because the creators have no idea who Yb is and continuously change his character's lore for some reason. not only that but they're just TERRIBLE people
#but idk I haven't really thought too much on the topic#just speaking out my ass#yapping even#I do think though that we should be more patient when it comes to making games and such though#sdv was made by one person and only recently released an update that was worked on for like three years#and everyone's cool with it BECAUSE of its payoff#with YB. the payoff just doesn't feel like it's there#even if the game isn't out yet#everything is super rushed and the writing is bad at times. the main fucking character's design is weak compared to it's “rivals”#YES I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. TK'S DESIGN WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE.#I feel like the plot of the game would work better if it took over the span of a few weeks or a month or two#AND TIME SKIPS ARE FINE!#if day 1 and 2 had a week between them (with a small thingy that said like Peter starting coming by the diner more or whatever) it'd be cool#cause no fucking way was Peter like “I gotta be tame for yn to trust me” and the next fucking day he's so ready to fuck#INCONSISTENT IN-FUCKING-CONSISTENT#I just think it's way too rushed. why are we speed running a dating-stalking sim?#asks#your boyfriend game#your boyfriend peter#indie games#yb fandom#yb peter#yb game#yb#peter dunbar#yb tk#Tk... my majesty 🧎🙏

Can we please Acknowledge that Sanguinius looks like the Emperor in a wig here
I have more of Sanguinius looking like Big E in a wig
Like Sir, why do you look that!? Who told you not to brush out your curls with your fingers???
#He looks so fucking ugly here and I love it#He geniunely looks like he's wearing a blond wig#Also Sanguinius tends to be very inconsistent in his official art and shown to have straight hair for some reason#I mean from an artists perspective I understand the straight hair#curly hair especially ringlets like Sang's are fucking hard to draw#I saw this as someone who grew up around a dude with tight ass fucking ringlets#sanguinius#warhammer 40k#shit post#warhammer 30k#He's very inconsistent I find and yet the tumblr side he's usually far more consistent in his non official#kinda strange but okay#warhammer art

Wait hang on
So dragon games happen
Ravens secret diary takes place soon after during SPRING BREAK
and then epic winter arrives, it’s summer and the school is still destroyed from dg and it’s the first time faybelle’s gotten in trouble
I currently have spring break the end of March half way through third term but maybe I should have spring break in may (I know summer starts in late June but given the fact that spring starts early February canonically I’m going to say summer starts the last week of may) because no way Grimm lets the school be destroyed for months until ew
#god dammit mattel#fuck you and your inconsistent consistency#eah#ever after high#dragon games#the secret diary of Raven Queen#epic winter

I just think Toei gives Vegeta a lot of shit for a guy who's maintained his rank within the top ten most powerful beings in the mortal realm since he was like five years old.
#and he did it without dragon balls OR senzu beans OR magic chi unlocks OR otherworldly help he's just been grinding for 30 years#every time I see a fan like 'vegeta's so weak bro lol' i'm like?? Hm?? Where??#I will never forgive toei for writing him the way they do in the movies but even with their ass character choices like#He's still Consistently The Fuck Out Here#When he tells Kiwi that he's actively choosing to be on the front lines instead of kicking back like he could be with his status as a lord#and then the payoff in Super when they're like 'damn vegeta must be a prodigy' Pybara is like 'yeah that's because he works his ass off'#the way I yelled!! And it's true of Goku too!!#I had to explain to a friend the other day too that Bardock's wish re: his boys doesn't remove all the grinding Goku's done over his life#It helped him survive and meet people the same way it did Raditz but Goku's still been training every single day. all his life.#The reason Raditz lost is because he didn't train his tail like Nappa and Vegeta did -- he knew it was a problem with a solution#and never addressed the problem. Goku consistently dug his heels in and worked to overcome any weakness he discovered in his body#no opportunity is going to help you if you don't put the work in. that's why Vegeta's arc is so good. He puts the work in on all fronts.#and why I am constantly mad at Toei for writing his relationships the way they do because it is so deeply inconsistent with his themes#anyway here's another essay in the tags aksldjaskjld

The Blight family are so interesting IN THEORY. In execution they are....😬
#i dont mean that like. theyre flawed characters#i LOVE flawed characters. nothing i love more than seeing some messy toxic bitches do messy toxic bitch things#i love the exploration of unhealthy family dynamics#i love the trope of a rich shiny perfect family who are secretly fucked up and miserable#i love the kind of characters that environment creates#whether it be gaslighting gatekeeping girlbossing assholes#or people who are desperately trying to be good. or to break away from the role theyve been forced into#or people who are in a little more of a grey area. people who have a good side and a shitty side#its all fun and interesting#the problem with the blights is their characterization is just so....clunky. sloppy. not very good#alador amity and the twins all suffer from inconsistent writing#alador is a complex case to delve into. and you dont wanna listen to me dissecting him#so ill just say that he could have been handled better#ironically Odalia is the most consistently written character of them all#shes very surface level evil. shes not very interesting#I enjoy Odalia. I think she's funny in just how unapologetically shitty she is#and her VA gives such an entertaining performance#but she is like. Hollow. There is nothing going on with her other than abusive mom and capitalist#but by god at least she knows what shes about

WOW have not given a confirm from Roamer and already jumping guns.
From the duration of the whole Kique trying to start this poly thing of two of the most red flag characters to pedestal However Rogio is on Roamers:
and Kargo love interest is on Roamer:
From looking over the type of poly relationship it would end up being either a Hierarchical polyamory, Polyfidelity, Solo polyamory or a Triad. But since it's kique it's more likely to be a triad with Hierarchical instead of something of equally grounding everyone; they ( kiq. ) will mainly focus the attention and love all on Rogio but having it where Rogio and Kargo caring about Roamers needs. in hindsight if Roamer focusing all his care and attention on Rogio the sadly Kargo will have to follow along. That's not a relationship that's a coercion of someone who is emotionally being pulled around just like another who was pulling roamer around as well;
And you know who been doing that for all through Home comic??? ROGIO, Rogio so far has been manipulating, gaslighting, mansplaining, victimizing and done toxic/abusive traits that is not appropriate. "but he's not hitting or screaming at his face so its not bad??" Just because its not shown loud in your face doesn't mean it's not their. Just because a meat-eating Predator is not chasing you down immediately after making eye contact on you, doesn't mean it's not a wild, carnivore. It's the same with Herbivores which so many overlook because it can't eat us and it's harmless when actually they're just as unpredictable as a carnivore. A lot of things happen behind doors and others figured out how to not make it obvious. These are usually Covert Coercion/abuse that is so subtle your can miss it or overlook it. Like slow boiling a frog in a pot.
We have seen from the beginning how Rogio was from the first chapter and given context of how he is overtime. Roamer is very naïve and gullible to be used under Rogio's dispense and whenever Roamer speaks up or states an opinion Rogio does not like. he gives Roamer the silent treatment and cuts all connections to him, practically ghosting and pretending he doesn't exist. You see it all through Chapter 11 through Chapter 12. And Later see Rogio been observing from the distance on Chapter 13.
That later had Roamer to lash out his frustrations on other people AND be depressed/mope around cause he's been giving all that love and attention to abruptly giving the cold turkey.
Also pointing out that Javo is not a warrior but Fremja is, So why Roamer doesn't train with someone who is an established role but would fight someone who is not of equal task and someone who is far weaker then him??!!. Frenja has fought with Roamer during Avanti and traveled with him when they left to meet Kargo and Ferah again. She has a track record - Javo does not. it's very subtle misogyny of having the females laying around or doing nothing when the barrier is basically down to open attacks, while males are being the active ones. The group should be at least planning to build a smaller barrier or doing something to be prepared. Later it bite them when IT DID HAPPENED of raiders coming in. You say meteor has changed but examples like these contradicts it.
------ I have seen ENOUGH comics, fanfictions of stories of people who does that including the toxic tactics. And now Rogio left the weight all on Roamers shoulder to do the decisions FOR him, there's has been no return of the conversation of Roamer agreeing to it with Rogio or stating more of his opinion on the matter. Roamer will just agree to it AND IF HE DOESN'T ROGIO WOULD DO THE COLD SHOULDERS AGAIN!!. This is very new territory with different opinions and backstories, cause Meteor tribe has shown to NOT BE POLYAMORUSE. Neither Asmundr or any cookie cutter tribes in Home except possibly southSpear, but that is more an orgy to pass the time being in a boring desert.
I call that BS on them all laughing and having fun together cause all of that happened with Kargo and Roamer and later Roamer dump Kargo to be all happy with Rogio.
it would've been interesting done by a competent author, but the comic is already being rushed even more, since its confirmed there is 4 chapters including the recent one left.
The author has so far been doing the same stuff/traits Rogio has been doing and is willing to bend out of shape and reality to protect Rogio, a fictional and dangerous character to portray and claim as the ' idea character ' to follow and sympathized.
Side note:
I also learned that Feomah; the mother of Diarko and Diarko was an idea from a fallen individual with Kiq. So the possible reason Feomah is separated from Diarko is because of that and now Diarko will be used as a scapegoat for Rogio innocents and that the toxic Poly thing between RxRxK is a good thing. " we can't separate now since Diarko sees us all as parental figures under him." yeah let's have a child who was subjugated through trauma of cults by his tribe, genocide, prejudice by the canines to be given more trauma under meteor who had to move further away from his blind mother and got attacked twice by raiders. instead of being with their mother who is safe in a tranquil area with more members then meteor. Also forcing for Diarko to fight instead of giving him a choice if he wants that or do a different role. No wait that's not manly enough for males to do. 🙄

ACTUALLY. LITERALLY.#i have one more bit i like but this post is long. ill see if i can make the other one good and post it separately then i think ill be done#with this dumb thing#<3#ive never been into bodyswap aus but this is. different its. different its abt. grief. its. about blaine. wanting the best for their friend

I don’t consume the franchise’s media because it’s “good”, I consume it because I got emotionally attached to the characters as a child and now I can’t let go
#This is high key about Wakfu and Ben 10#Both shows’ writing are incredibly inconsistent in quality but goddamn if their characters aren’t more precious than gold to me#Tho to be fair the Wakfu webtoon has been consistently well done so far#And the Ben 10 reboot is better than people give it credit for#If only because they actually acknowledged Kevin’s trauma and mental issues#Maybe if we get that adult series the writers want we’ll actually see him go “y’know what? I was a drug addict at 11. That’s fucked up”#And go get some weird alien therapy for it

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO @metzintli for encouraging me SO MUCH with this, it means the world!
#contestshipping#pokemon may#pokemon drew#OK DO YOU GUYS SEE WHY I WAS GOING CRAZY OVER DOING THIS IN 1.5 DAYS NOW. don't recommmend#excuse it not being her canon hair. I gave up on the bangs.#taylor's tag#Contestshipping anon. wherever you may be. You reccomending Stray Italian Greyhound to me is the SOLE reason for the fun lighting here#BECAUSE MAY IS THAT SUDDEN BURST OF SUNLIGHT I SEE THE VISION YOU HAD 10/10#ngl. i'm really really proud of this. it shows that if i have PATIENCE AND ALSO A DEADLINE I can make good things.#i have such an issue with quality consistency though#i swear to god next week i'm gonna be back to not knowing how to draw a circle#i get these like. bright shining moments of 'oh i'm lowkey good at this' and then. there's the rest of the time#ngl i have this really niche phobia of like. people thinking i didn't make the art i made because it's so inconsistent#like i worry they'll be like NO WAY YOU MADE THAT YOU LIAR FAKE IDIOT bc i cannot consistently draw well??? idk#does ANYONE ELSE have this#like i promise this only looks this good because i spent for fucking ever on it

does anyone know a better way to try and reformat a research question for a survey because I am SUFFERING
#I already have a bunch of answers but this data isn't very helpful-#-and maybe I should not change the question so the data is at least consistent all around#i have multiple questions that are all poorly formatted and have not given me much useful data#but I don't know how I could possibly reformat them in a way that isn't a bu ch of open ended fill in the blank questions#my goal here is I'm trying to see like. Flanderization in fandom. Trying to see the canon vs fanon versions people have of characters#but not everyone might realize the version they consider canon IS fanon. So I can't ask it outright I have to fucking. like#idk trick them into telling me and then I can pop out and be like AHA YOU'RE WRONG#i m not sure the best way to go about this#the way I have it is like. I describe the character in 5-7 traits and ask people to pick 3 of them#and i also have an 'other' option if they want to elaborate#buuuuttttt#This question I feel like hasn't been super helpful#because again I can't just be like “do you think X character is just always lovey dovey 24/7 to character Y”#because again. That's too god damned obvious and people are gonna be like no! Even tho subconsciously they do think that#Also I don't think the traits I picked were very good either. It was just like. Too Broad#I'm planning on sending out my survey again and I wanted to see if I could fix some questions before I do so#there is just the issue of the data being inconsistent#I think I might just have to go in and change the character traits#that's I think the issue. But again I don't know how to ask what I want without being straight up like#“Do you think person Xs entire character revolves around character Y”#even tho the entire fandom acts like they do. They're gonna be like what no X is more then that!#and then they immediately go back to treating X like Ys arm candy#sigh.#sociology#fandom culture#fandom#psychology#idk if someone could assist that would be wonderful lmfao#if there's a better way to get the results I want then#it's all just. subconscious. Is all. Sihhnmg

i doubt anyone will see this and care, but i found another time the shameless writer’s math was wrong and now i need to post about it.
in season 1, it begins late 2010 and ends early 2011. ian gallagher was born may 9, 1996 (which is canon and can be further proved in 1x10 when it says that he was concieved in the summer) which would make him 14 at the start (going on 15 at the end)
but by the time that season 1 ends, ian’s affair with kash is over
and in season 3 ian says he was fifteen with kash- but he wasn’t, he was 14- and this can again, be proven by how monica and clayton did pcp and fucked in the summer of ‘95
anyway their math is always off and i could make a long post about it and i probably will😭
#shameless#ian gallagher#ian gallagher season 1#shameless timeline#because people are always talking about how inconsistent ian’s age is#but people mostly say that from season 4-6#the only person who’s age ever is consistent is like debbie maybe#idk tho#the timeline is very fucked lol

just found a fast and consistent way to kill maurice when you're bad at the game (like me) and can't do fancy shit like railcoins or chargebacks
pump the pumpcharge shotgun twice, whiplash towards him as he's charging the laser and shotgun parry it, then finish him off with any point-blank shotgun blast
i will now call this the "lyra maneuver"
#ultrakill#yeah yeah you can instakill with sharpshooter i know but i'm inconsistent at it and it requires a little setup most times#this is faster and easier to do for multiple like in cybergrind or that one room in 3-1. also cooler because explosion#i also just got an instakill with the pumpcharge parry only in sandbox but idk how the fuck to recreate that consistently. testing required

Shot by the dear @halsin💕
Victoria Crane Netrunner | Affiliation: Arasaka
“You know something I don’t? I doubt that but go on; I’m curious how you’ll waste my time.”
A snake in the rat’s nest, between her natural ease in lying and quiet brutality there was little doubt that Victoria Crane would flourish in the corporate life. Climbing high off of her mother’s shoulders and then higher still off the backs of beaten down peers, making sure to dig her heel into their spines, Victoria has managed to create her own niche within Arasaka. One she defends with tooth and claw.
She has had a hand in several company projects and missions throughout the years, garnering her own reputation as an individual best avoided in cyberspace. Her name gained extra polish due to her ongoing association with Adam Smasher.
Once deftly subtle in her approach, working with the cyborg for so long has taught her the effectiveness of tossing a grenade now and then.
Relationships
Partners: Adam Smasher (Current, Mainline) Unnamed wife†
Relatives: Marion Victoria-Diane Crane (mother) Joseph Benjamin Morris-Crane (father)† Angelo Victor Morris (half-brother)†
Biography
1990s-2020
Born in England in the mid-90s, Victoria was primarily raised by her mother while her father worked in the NUSA. Throughout her youth she would be repeatedly called her mother’s ‘mini’ due to their similarities in both appearance and temperament.
This temperament would be sharpened against the whetstone of her peers during her school years, aimed pointedly at those she felt didn’t belong anywhere near her social circles. She was notably unmoved following an announcement that a classmate had committed suicide, and hardly bothered when a friend of that classmate laid the blame for their death at her feet. This individual would later have to drop out due to their parents losing their jobs and standing within Arasaka.
Upon completing her education, Victoria immediately moved into a corporate job – working for Arasaka’s London Counter-Intel department. Her quick ascension through the pay brackets was accelerated by an unquestionable skill in netrunning and nepotism.
2021-2023
In 2021 Victoria was transferred to the Night City offices. Reunited with her father, she simultaneously learned of his affair and second family. Their relationship promptly crumbled.
She was kept busy during the Fourth Corporate War, assigned as the company netrunner for a hired merc, she worked with them until their attempted defection to Militech. Sloppy in covering their tracks, Victoria became quickly aware of what they were planning and alerted her superiors – she had the pleasure of zeroing them herself and did so with a brutality unique to netrunners.
Following this, Victoria was assigned to work with Adam Smasher. Throughout 2022 they would work several missions together, but Victoria would not meet the cyborg in person due to deeming it unnecessary. It was late in 2022 and through sheer luck that she happened to step into the same elevator as him on her way to a mission briefing. Their first words exchanged in person were allegedly insults.
Still, the duo would develop something of a camaraderie. One of their recorded mission communications included Smasher encouraging a less bloodless approach in how Crane should deal with her familial issues. While she agreed, Crane also claimed she didn’t want their suffering to end ‘too quickly.’
Present in Night City on the night of the nuking, Victoria was not operating within the tower as Smasher felt it stupid to have his netrunner present where the action was going to take place. This decision kept Victoria alive. She would jack out of her chair following comm disruption and repeated failure to re-establish contact with Smasher, only to look out in horror as she witnessed the sky turn red.
2023-2050s
Victoria would return to the London offices after the bomb, certain that Smasher had been lost in the attack. She would claim the contrary but it was clear to any who knew her that she was not herself for some time afterwards. Her fury at learning her father and his second family had survived was uncharacteristic as she had destroyed personal property and outright threatened the life of his mistress.
It wasn’t until 2026 that Victoria learned of Smasher’s survival. A notable relief gave way to her usual coldness in a matter of minutes.
She would operate primarily from the Arasaka tower in London, assigned once again to be the netrunner for an Arasaka-hired merc. Enthralled with the familiar brand of violence, Victoria and the merc would marry in the late ‘30s. Neither of them were particularly loyal or loving.
Following her marriage and due to his ailing health, Joseph would reach out and try to repair their shattered relationship. While his attempts would amount to naught and achieve little else than further agitating Victoria, she made copies of his neurological research knowing they would prove useful for her own project idea that had taken root.
Joseph died in 2039 and perhaps in a last-ditch effort to make amends, had left a majority of his wealth and belongings to his daughter. Victoria would dispose of most of it and sell anything of value, but she kept a painting he had purchased specifically for her (the original of Landseer’s Man Proposes, God Disposes.)
In 2042 Victoria returned to Night City when her wife was on an operation. While she waited for her to return in the AV Hangar, she was instead reunited with Smasher who was also involved in the op. He greeted her with the news she was a widow, her wife having “gotten herself killed.”
The two would leave the hangar together to ‘catch up.’ Within a matter of days, she was reassigned as Smasher’s personal netrunner.
2053-2076
In 2053 following Smasher’s assignment as Yorinobu Arasaka’s bodyguard, the Arasaka heir attempted to replace Victoria, removing her from the position and assigning another that he personally selected. Smasher would burn through a number of these replacements in a matter of months, with the longest surviving only forty-six days.
In this interim, Victoria had dedicated her time to a personal project called OIZYS.
She returned to the role of Smasher’s netrunner within the year and would continue to work on OIZYS during lulls between work Arasaka assigned to Smasher and any personal gigs he took on.
In 2056, the project would see a successful test that confirmed its viability. Victoria pitched the project to Arasaka, successfully gaining funding and permissions for further tests on company-provided subjects.
In the same week as this successful run, her father’s former mistress would vanish following a public spectacle at a celebratory dinner for her half-brother. Angelo, placing the blame on Victoria for her treatment of his mother through the years and demanding that their father chose while simultaneously rejecting his attempts to amends, hired a fixer to plant a bomb under Victoria’s car.
The attempted murder failed, instead killing her building’s valet. In the days that followed and with the gossip mills churning, a number of Angelo’s illicit activities from the 2020s onward became public. This included videos of him in the midst of orgies, drunken slander of the Arasaka family and NUSA government officials, recordings of his calls concerning the attempted car-bombing, and his involvement in recording the torture and murder of a NCPD’s officer’s son.
He would commit suicide by the end of the week. With no family to arrange a funeral and his friends in hiding, his body was dumped in the municipal landfill.
In 2061, OIZYS had changed as Victoria was ‘highly encouraged’ to incorporate an experimental nanite technology into its operations. While the nanites solved a trigger-delay issue, they were also more aggressive than anticipated and would not stop in their assault after the amygdala had been overwhelmed.
The project was deemed a success and Arasaka has used it successfully against a handful of international targets, however Victoria and a small team are still working to iron out the kinks. These efforts have been slow-going both because of the experimental status of the nanites themselves and the uptick in work Smasher performed for the company at the direct behest of Yorinobu.
2077
Following the sudden death of Saburo Arasaka and the aggressive actions of Yorinobu in the wake of becoming CEO, Victoria became suspicious of the man’s intentions. Like many, she saw through the inconsistencies with his poisoning story but would bite her tongue to see what direction he would steer the company.
Unhappy with said direction, she acts as if her hands are tied due to the influx of work that has landed in her lap with Smasher’s promotion to Head of Security. However, some have noted her free time spent in the company of Michiko Arasaka.
Cyberware
NetWatch Netdriver Mk.5 Self-ICE | Ex-Disk | Visual Cortex Support Favoured Quickhacks: Ping | Short Circuit | Contagion | Cyberware Malfunction | Reboot Optics | Suicide
Cyberoptics, EMP Threading, Chromed cyberarms with claw mods, Chromed collar, Optical Camo, Syn-Lungs, Titanium Bones, Lynx Paws, and a Midnight Lady
Weapons
“Charon” A personalised M2038 Tactician that deals electrical damage. Rarely used but always on-hand.
“Lancehead” A gold and black balisong tipped with neurotoxin. Victoria’s preferred method for dispatching anyone who gets too close. This weapon was a gift from Smasher, she claims that holds no bearing on her favouring it.
Notes
Victoria has modified her Contagion hack to attack aggressively, causing death more often than naught in its onslaught. Even those who survive the initial upload may die days later from the prolonged assault on their organs.
Smasher is the cause for her cyberarms – having deliberately crushed her right arm in early 2023 following a flare-up of carpal tunnel. She opted to get both replaced.
Her titanium bones and syn-lungs were not wanted modifications but were necessary after Smasher’s AV was shot down by juiced-up Animals. Her lungs were punctured by her ribs when he was tossed on top of her by gravity.
