hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

some of my samples arrived! sorry about the grainy quality of the pictures, my camera was just like Mm Grain

I've seen a few people interested in IBVS merch; uh. unfortunately, I have not designed any yet. that will be a thing I get around to eventually should the stars align. I have had a few ideas. we'll see.

the wooden ani charm turned out really good, the corpse party girls (whom I honestly just made for fun) also look really neat (the red acrylic looks very tasty). I drew a life series ladies set and included scott as a joke, but his colors came out a little washed out so some of his features are slightly hard to see.

the ani charm is actually based directly on a way old ani charm design I did back in 2019, back before I knew anything about getting them printed.

… and of course I still have this enormous pile of v3 rainbow keychains from 2022 that are in a drawer (though I have taken kage for my bag)

Is anybody's detectives have stats that are... kind of incogruent? As in the stats in game doesn't fully align with their detective, but are there because of certain choices they would make in specific situations?

Because I have that problem with Zuri and I'm...not entirely sure what to do about it. In theory, her stats from highest to lowest would be people/psychology, deduction/knowledge, combat/physical and science/technology - with her exceeding in the first two, and the third being there mostly because of her background in gymnastics.

But in game, specifically in book 1, a lot of the choices she would make as someone trying to solve a murder ends up mostly falling into the science stat. Like taking a blood sample at the warehouse and giving it to Verda to look into, and fixating on the blood samples when she has to choose a general direction for her and ub to go in.

So her stats are weird in game. Like, by the end of book 1 everything is either 50% or a little bit above that. And then in book 2 and 3, most of her choices align with her being someone who has a high people/psychology stat.

But I don't know...if feels weird having the science stat be so high. And Zuri drawing a blank when Nate mentions the crown imperial plant they use to create a smell to ward off the werewolves right at the beginning of book 3 really bugs me lmao. Because that's something she would know - or at least be able to identify.

Now I'm wondering if I should make new saves where I have her make choices based on what I think her stats should be instead of how she would handle things. But that feels weird too.

So...does anyone else have this problem? Do you play your detectives based on what they would actually do or what stats they as a character need to have?

I've got a hypothesis so bear with me here

People who ship either Caonilla (Dark Cacao x Pure Vanilla), Goldenberry (Golden Cheese x Hollyberry), or Faelily (Elder Faerie x White Lily), how many of those do you ship?

Trigun Spring Shaker Charms Interest Check!

Designed some spring charms and want to see which ones people like before I order any samples

For anyone who doesn’t know these are acrylic standees on small springs so they move around, ideal for displaying in your car but can work anywhere.

Note that these are concept sketches that I’ve laid down color on to give you an idea of a vibe and not cleaned up designs!

I’d appreciate if yall could vote for your favorite and if you’d buy more than one design let me know which ones in the replies or tags. Thank you!

reblogs appreciated for reach!

There's something that Cybertron doesn't have

Evolution

But Earth? Oh boy humans went long way to where they are today.. Animals too like birds used to be dinosaurs(some still look like one and others remember they were big and powerful and fear no man) , whales ussd to be way smaller and walked on land, insects used to be way bigger etcetera

Just humans showing pictures of prehistoric animal and modern animal to bots/cons and them either being fascinated(Shockwave would be engrossed for sure) or straight up confused/sceptical

I think they do have a sort of evolution, depending on the universe.

In TFP, there was an off-comment that Seekers descended from Predacons that Starscream denied. In IDW/MTMTE, the biological differences between the Lost Colonies and Cybertron. Cyberverse explored more of their native fauna. Bayverse had the Dynasty of Primes and the hatchlings.

If anything, it's on a scale that's inconceivable to us, especially with the immense differences in lifespan. It varies from the iteration, but a single vorn is their equivalent of a calander year. 1 vorn = 87 Earth years of human perspective.

Shoot, the modern human is only a scratch of Earth's total years, and there are canon Cybertronians older than that and who are active combatants in their own war.

Look at the megafauna of North America. The massive trees still remember the immense animals that once dominated the land. Even when those creatures went extinct, those trees still retain the ecological quirks that relied upon them to spread seeds and propagate.

Think of it this way, Earth is on a scale that's so fast-paced that it's more like a contained, self-sustaining terrarium of terror and wonderment. Like there could have been Cybertronian field scientists and researchers that tracked the evolution of trees on Earth and have a rivalry with Team Shark because sharks came before trees!

I know y’all come here for art but today I tried teaching myself music production and this was the outcome

Going for western?? movie soundtrack?? (I don’t know what I’m doing??)

Maybe the solution to egg discourse, is that sometimes suggestions help trans people figure it out, and sometimes it pushes them deeper into denial instead, and so we shouldn't be making broad assumptions about what is or isn't good for someone, and just take each instance on a contextual basis?

I have a feeling if we didnt fight dolly that night we wouldn't have felt as attached and shed be dead rn.... just a thought... but chewing on these crumbs like its my last meal ngl

Pretty sure I mentioned it in the tags of an earlier post but I'm repeating it here too cause I think it's important:

Had the fight with Dolly not occurred, there would have been no bonding moment with her later that night when everyone else was asleep. The fic just timeskips straight to the next morning.

While she's furious with you in the moment, Dolly later finds herself impressed by your show of guts. Not a lot of people have the nerve to stand up to her like that. It makes her hesitate to keep associating you with a lower rung of the food chain, which (combined with the amount of stress she's under) eventually becomes a willingness to open up a little. In that moment, when no one else is awake to hear it, she confesses her fears to you as an equal.

The fight with Dolly is absolutely linked to her survival.
