#IT DOESNT WORK OKAY THATS THE POINT IT DOESNT WORK

[ganondoodle]

random assortement of deltarune thoughts;

-..................is spamton, or the addisons as a whole, based on birds ....? i keep seeing people work with that an- WAIT IS THAT WHAT THE WHOLE EGG THING IS ABOUT- ....... *googles birds that lay blue eggs* hmmmmmmmmmmm (putting this in my folder for totally believable, unbiased and intentional proof spamton was/is actually either solid white or solid black in color like the others and either dyed his hair or wears some sort of makeup/mask)

-for some reason i started to question whether that main deltarune song (you know, when the light is shining low etc) is actually as hopeful and nice as it sounds or more like .. idk a more sinister promise, since kris and the soul dont seem to belong together or are at least in conflict and the dark world is like a fantasy where things can go better, as in the soul wont leave kris alone or something

-who the roaring knight is seems to be one of the biggest talking points (and alot of characters kinda fit into that scheme though the motives are pretty unclear still ... i personally found the rudy theory interesting to think about but im not a firm believer in any of that bc i just want to see what it will be) and my thought currently is .. what if there some sort of mix up, like assuming the soul and kris dont belong together, did they lose their own soul somewhere? are we the soul of someone else? .. what if .. kris's actual soul and OUR actual vessel are the knight and its worse chemistry than kris and us (or better depending on how you look at it i guess?)

-im gonne be a jerk and say it, i know how many people love nice asriel but ..... what if hes a big jerk, or not that nice, for all the talk about him constantly i cant help but imagine the whiplash (?) of then actually getting to meet him and hes kinda shitty nfdjkngdjk (okay but i HAVE been wondering that also bc ... their room is like ... man if you like your brother you wouldnt let his side of the room look like a prison compared to everyones favorite boi, like the trophies okay that wouldnt make much sense to give away or what but the stars on the wall and all?? ..unless kris did that themselves bc they are kinda going through things and asriels gonna see it and go .. dude what happened here)

-i get that giving tenna to mettaton is like the current best ending but im also ... so sad to see him gone??? as of now i cant see how we would get to meet him again this way unless the finale is actually gonna make the whole world a dark one ........ idk if thats the way i want to get to see him again ....... and tbh a little sad too bc its so isolated again :(

-saw some people talk about wondering if what spamton was being told on the phone had something to do with the prophecy and there being a part about 'the lord of screens cleaved red by blade', which .. who else could be meant but tenna, possibly being why he ran away has been rotating in my head ever since i read it even if it might be a reach

-there absolutely is something up with the prophecy and who 'the girl' is, bc susie doesnt use a sword, doesnt wear dresses and that heart shape usually means the soul (i am intrigued by a youtuber i watched play it saying what if thats a previous prophecy, like the whole thign happened before and thats why the pictures dont always line up and how dess dissappeared... )

-to probably little surprise i am currently being driven to madness just by thinking about tenna and spamtons relationship bc man ................. they both foster resentment for each other but both still obviously care im so hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (when you analyze tenna in his fight theres a description read by spamton (if you have the dealmaker) saying the [tragic businessmen] that [died] at the [now] of the [story]- and like others have pointed out before that its busisnessMEN, in plural, but also ... if you think about spamton possibly knowing stuff about the prophecy and tenna dying it gets a whole other meaning and i am not okay ................. -- ALSO the description for tenna also being 'despite his size hes sadly quite fragile' is brainworming me, ....... i feel like some people kinda dismiss just under what pressure and how desperate he is at the end, sure he did shitty things but like??? he was being left alone and abandoned?? thrown away?? despite wantign nothing more but to be watched bc hes a damn TV?????? when you do the secret minigame and meet tenna there hes afraid of kris unplugging him again?? plus the second he goes against the deal with the knight he gets his arms chopped off and dies or almost dies (depending on what you did before) like ... i dont think he was fully oblivious that hes putting his life at risk going against it, you know how annyoed i am anytime the word 'evil' is used bc its often way to flat and disregarding of any complexity like .. calling tenna evil is like .. feels like missing the point of how toby+team write characters ............)

-i mentioned before how many phrases and themes overlap from tenna and spamton and while i dont doubt it not just one way, considering that to be the case is interesting when looking at the dialog of tenna talking about the moment of spamton leaving and giving him everything and 'his life advice' bc isnt that the same thing spamton says too somewhere before you fight NEO? i cant remember but i thought i heard that phrase before jsut like that so .... if that wasnt mutual but also a repetition then spamton might have somehow known how tenna felt about it all even before you carry him around in your inventory in the TVworld?? (on this note, tenna mentions NEO things in his bossfight so ... did spamton talk about his dreams with him too :..?)

-as much i like the whole 'its complicated' thing and both wanting to kill each other while still having feelings ................... i kinda really wish they got back together somehow, i feel like that would be a super interesting dynamic to have as well qwq (yes i know i am a boring, sad, pathetic what if everything turns out good kind of wet blanket of a person) (i know its not gonna happen but sometimes i have to let the brainworms out to play around a little .....)

..... bird spamton huh .... does ... spamton have feathers ............. is he ......fluffy ....................................?

*sighs* alright, alright, time to search out all the spamton lore so i can make more informed posts i suppose, i would like to apologize to spamton for not really caring before u-u

(either way this is a rambling thoughts post and not a meaningful analysis of anything, i am not dead set on aynthign and everythings lighthearted and fun except for when i think about tenna and spamton an i shrivel up in pain in a pool of tears on the floor ahahah ... what?)

Various myguys brainstorming doodles and also I explode whole. thoughts related to these images below

calling them brainstorming doodles is sort of a misnomer bc its more like i draw things for fun and then more ideas appear in my head. was thinking about how mind and heart have more of a like. growing and changing and becoming more than what they made of themself vibe going on with their start designs vs post whole situation designs. like. a breaking out. but i was thinking and... it's not the same with soul. i think who he is at his core has always been there. i think even at the very start, he is exactly who he is meant to be. so for him its more like. becoming less than what he made of himself. relaxing. tearing away walls. revealing himself. and this only happens when hes ddirectly confronted with everything he hid so well even he couldn't see it during the Whole Situation. yaaay.

im so happy with myself for deciding soul experiences absolutely zero meaningful character growth in the cycle. i love completely erasing whole from the equation and making it about soul. because, you know, that's actually part of where this all came from. at first, when listening to the album, i had seen soul as the perpetrator. i understand now that the general consensus is that whole is the one choosing to put them through it which makes sense like i do agree thats what happens canonically. but bc im me and have problems whole as he is canonically cannot exist within my version <33 soul doesnt get to be fucked up and violent in myguys but i like to think i made him even worse.

also that second to last image sort of explains itself its just silly funny identity issues but in relation to it i'll say what's fun with those two assholes is at the start they do act very similarly like. the way ive been drawing them at the start of that arc has been pushing the "these are the same guy" even further than i try to do with hms. bc. "whole" exists because soul was fucking breaking down from forcing himself to be who he thought whole had to be. so whole the alter is literally just... what he wished he was. which becomes such a catalyst for soul learning to fucking chill even a little bit. because there is this external proof that he can point to that he is not who he thinks he should be. and. that that's okay. it takes a lot of fucking work to get there obviously but. sigh. sniffle. mrmrgmhmgnnhgffhfhg

whole also ends up deviating from this impossible standard soul was upholding bc he gets to be his own guy too but this aint about him. yet. right now im thinking about souls problems. anyway peace thanks for experiencing the next installment of myguys lore

i want to write a twdg au so fucking bad. so fucking bad just for clem and lee as remus and teddy. but then like,,, yk there's so many ROUTES you can take these things! i'd have to decide what route to take. and then it would just be s1 because what after that? who's aj? yk??? like it would just be s1 but it would just be my playthrough and then it would be like "here is this fic specifically crafted for me and only me"

but it would be fun to do like. alt endings? because we know how s1 ends and i could AHAHAH give that false sense of security with two endings and people (me, again this is made for me and me only) are like "wow i am sad i'll read this othe- AGAIN!?" and that'd be funny.

Interview with the Vampire Manga Adaptation (Yoake no Vampire) by Udoh Shinohara + DL Link

DL LINK HERE

Happy new episode of IWTV AMC day! Today though, I want to share something I've teased earlier on my blog, which is the Japanese manga adaptation of the Interview with the Vampire gothic horror novel. See under the cut for more details!

It came out in 1994, a bit after the movie, but it only referenced the book itself. It consisted of a single volume made up of three chapters, so events are condensed and abridged, and it skips Part II in Eastern Europe. The first two chapters were scanlated into English by a group named Trine and distributed on the aarinfantasy forums in 2007, but the third chapter was kind of lost to time, especially after all the links to the raw Japanese scans went down years ago. However, I discovered that a now defunct Portuguese scanlation group did the whole thing (individual credits included in the .zip), and I was able to recover chapter three, use heavily cross-checked and edited MTL (PT-ENG), and deliver the final product to you all. See more notes about this process or where to read the PT version in the readme file included in the .zip! It's not 100% perfect and I would not call it true 'scanlation' obviously, so if anyone can do a better job I welcome them to! I hope more visibility on this manga makes the raws become available again so a true JPN-ENG translation can be done on the last chapter!

This manga obviously has major IWTV book spoilers, but it does NOT include anything from later books in the series and is honestly quite faithful overall. It even includes Lestat's father. I might actually call it slightly gayer than the book, since Louis and Armand become more obviously in love. I would recommend it to anyone who's watching the series and hasn't read the book yet, as well as to anyone who enjoys the books alone! The art style is very 90s, but it has some really beautiful visuals sometimes, especially with Claudia. I hope everyone enjoys reading it!

Where my Eddie meta differs from the popular fanon is I don't think all his problems are because he's gay and I don't think kissing a man would heal him or really benefit him much at all. (He is gay but that's not important right now)

did everybody remember when atlus finally restored the attendant social link in the steam port and how stupid it actually was

[darabeatha]

/ A reminder to never expect me to be fully updated on lore and know all the minuscule 9487548957894 details of a character's story and their surroundings, I'm empty as men came to this world and can only vouch for my muses through love (also bc I cannot remember things rip)

sick day today :-(

[waywardsalt]

after replaying botw i think my general issue with it is that it’s not really good at anything in particular. its kinda like its stretched thin trying to provide a ton of things for the player to do but none of it is really very deep or really engaging

[lesbiangiratina]

Ive seen it mentioned in like 3 places now that testament’s xx korean dub voice was not well received and thats. Funny but like awwww come on. Shin hae-chul was a music man not a voice actor… i think he did okay…

They are kind of cute to me to be honest... but maybe its just really hard to make testament not be cute to me…

[squidkidnerd]

Man, with how vague Splatoon is about its lore/plot points sometimes, I’m very wary of people who claim there is One Definitive Interpretation of this that or the other thing. Like no, just because the game uses they/them pronouns for Captain 3 doesn't mean giving them any other pronouns is misgendering. Like, unless you have something from actual canon (ie. the games themselves or dev interviews) to back it up, then I don't think it's fair to expect people to Universally Agree With You or Else. Going "This is how I see things, I really don't like it when people see it this other way" is fine but "This is how I see things, I am RIGHT and anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG" is not. People have different opinions. You are not obligated to agree with them, but at the same time, they are not obligated to agree with you.

maturing is realizing llorumi is a bad ship not bc its toxic but bc its pseudo incest

[kuwupikaa]

Looking through musical tags and saw people saying dear Evan hansen is bad because Evan is a bad person? Like isnt that the point? What he does isnt good and he pretends to be this perfect guy for others and mostly to convince himself that what he's doing is genuinely a good thing while deep down he knows its not and that someday he'll have to come to terms with the consequences of his actions. Like yeah I understand if you don't like the musical yknow like what you want but genuinely thinking it's bad?

6, 10 & 29? :)

HELLOOO

6 - 3 nice things about myself, non-physical and physical. i'll do three each! since i'm trying to be nicer to myself!

physical:

- i got glasses the other day and i think they look adorable, i love how they look on me

- i think my eyes are my prettiest facial feature, they're blue and quite round and i like how i do my eye makeup too (rose pink eyeshadow + small black eyeliner makes them stand out nicely and that's usually what people compliment :])

- i generally like my body shape. i'm working out more too and seeing myself become more flexible and toned is actually really satisfying

non-physical:

- i always try and include everyone in conversation or ask them what they were going to say if they were cut off since i know what it feels like to be excluded/feel like youre the tag-along in a friend group, or be nervous to join in

- i'm good at a range of subjects and tasks and i'm good at picking new things up quickly: new hobby every week core

- i'm a pessimist at heart but i try and make light of situations, since i know that also picks other people up (my mum always makes the worst out of things and it drags my mood down a lot so i try and be as forgiving and optimistic as possible - honestly, a lot of bad situations can be made funny with the right people and mindset. obviously sometimes frustration is warranted and unavoidable, but there's almost always a way out! having it start raining and immediately hear someone complaining for 10 minutes is kinda unecessary imo. enjoy yourself!! its fine!!)

10 - something i'm excited for

well, my friend and i are planning to go on a road trip up to scotland or somewhere similar once we get our drivers licenses and go sight-seeing! we were thinking february next year but we're still deciding

im also gonna try and bake some bread, so im happy for that :] i already bake a lot so i figured id try. also watching stuff rise is fun

29 - morning, afternoon or night

this depends heavily, but for me i stay up at night cause i want to avoid the next day and its the one of the only times its quiet, and the afternoon is a weird spot for me. i'm not really a morning person but i appreciate the morning? the sun's rising and there's still time and everything's peaceful for a little while. so i think morning.

thank you for the ask!! <33
