aaand here's deadlands! it didnt take seven months this time, who cheered?

i'll probably do another post grouping all of my line-ups together, but that's gonna wait for when i do the wyrdwood PCs as well :] more thorough design thoughts/smaller details will be under the cut, but im putting this here so that everybody has to know: their eye shines are all different card suits, except for nate, who gets J for the joker card :]

oxventurers guild | the hobby horses

unlike my other designs where i let everyone have individual colors/palettes, i tried to keep colors more consistent across these designs! the oxventurers guild has the fantasy element and theyre all very different, so the wide mishmash of colors are fine, and the hobby horses all have a lot of dark colors so that keeps them looking consistent together. but for these guys, i wanted a more consistent feel, so i tried my best to reuse colors between each design (especially between delacy and nate ^-^)

silas - ough. my boy. i wanted him to be broad with a strong build, and i hope i pulled that off :D i had so much trouble with his hat that i almost just didnt give him one, but eventually i decided it was better to just. give up and rock with it, even if he looks a bit like a mountie hbjgfjhd and he is wearing cowboy boots, theyre just tucked into his pants because he doesnt feel the need to flash them (looking at delacy, lol). he has spurs on his boots, even though he doesnt ride horses, because he likes the way they jangle <3

garnet - people really liked it when i gave garnet dark roots, so i have decided to always give her dark roots. i like how it looks hehehe and i also like to give her freckles!!! i think theyre cute!!! for the vest, i struggled for a while trying to capture the vibe of jane's vest, because its so so strange and specific in a way that makes it impossible for me to picture garnet without it. i'm pretty happy with where i landed with it, especially the pattern, since i've never tried to make a pattern like that before :3 i dont know why ive been loving patterns so much lately LOL but i will keep riding this wave and regret it later when drawing the designs again

edie - definitely the furthest departure from canon outfits, though still in the right wheelhouse. i just don't like drawing multiple layers of ruffled skirt. i didn't like how my sketches kept looking. i wanted to give her a skirt slit, especially after my friend reminded me about her thigh rifle holster. so today, i stared at a bunch of victorian ballgowns and party city costumes, and then completely redesigned her skirt before i lined these XD and i think it was worth it!! i love the layers and the way her rifle peeks out, and it meant i could show off more of her boots and give them a pretty design :]

delacy - my main thought going into drawing delacy was just. "i need to malnourish this boy" LMAO i refuse to believe that he is eating properly, i just know that he is not. otherwise, i mostly just stuck to the campaign art but scuffed up his clothes a bit. as implied on silas's notes, i very purposefully had his boots be Big. he's overcompensating a little bit :] also sorry i did not want to draw rooster so he just gets a generic handgun. i didnt feel like drawing complicated guns, and i wanted it to be a smaller handgun so that he could be poorly copying edie :') he has no trigger discipline but neither does edie so its fine

nate - that's just nate, baby!!! i think, canonically, he's meant to be a bit. emaciated. but i cant help but just picture him being a bigger guy, i think it fits his vibe better and its more fun for me to draw that way. i like having variety in body shapes, and garnet and delacy already have the rail thin thing down for this line-up. let my old man be fat !!! also. he has a weird nipple because he is transgender. heart emoji

[kyouka-supremacy]

(person whose tags you reblogged on that ask about the anime here lol) I think what a lot of Bones defenders don't seem to realize is that this isn't just a case of us whining because we don't get what we want, like us complaining about like "they didn't draw this panel Exactly How It is In The Manga, how dare they!!!", we're not being nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking; these kinds of supposedly minor complaints probably wouldn't bother me in another show, because no adaptation is perfect and there will always be differences in how the panels are adapted, but in specifically BSD it bothers me because of the bigger picture, which is the fact that all of these tiny blunders are a direct result of them not understanding what kind of series BSD is and the tone and feelings each scene in the manga is meant to convey -- they see it as a shounen and adapt it as such, like you said. It's not about these moments in of themselves that are the problem, but because there's SO MANY of them, and they all add up, and they speak to the aforementioned much larger problem. I also just think that's kind of ignorant to just act like a season(s) with a downgrade in art quality, so many reused frames and animations, and disturbingly long static frames sometimes is in any way acceptable as a finished product??? This isn't about me and what I want, this is about the fact that they CLEARLY suffered to get this out and that is NOT OKAY. THERE ARE SO MANY GLARING PRODUCTION ISSUES (have been since season 3) AND THAT IS NOT OKAY. Not for the people who were forced to work on it, not for BSD as a story, and not for Asagiri and Harukawa! And not for the fans either, of course, but I emphasize the first three the most. It's just pure laziness and greed on the part of the Bones higher-ups who wanted it to be like this, and that will never be acceptable, for anyone. The quality of the anime has been significantly better the last few episodes (literally the instant Akutagawa kicked the bucket...) — by which I mean, they're doing the bare minimum for an adaptation, which is better than they usually do! — but I sure couldn't tell you why...! It's left me ecstatic, happy, and excited to watch lately, which is such a relief from constant sadness, outrage, and feeling insulted, but that still doesn't change the fact that it should have been this good THIS WHOLE TIME, and that there's absolutely NO REASON other episodes had to be sacrificed for the better ones: they should have been given enough time to do all of it justice (again, as much justice as Bones can ever do with BSD lol, but still. Season 2 is still so dear to me for a reason, and it's not just because of the nostalgia I have from watching it in 2016). Sorry for rambling more about this in your inbox asldjgflds, but tl;dr I just feel like our complaining comes across as bitching about scenes not being a perfect 1-to-1 panel recreation to a lot of people, when it's so much more than that — it's about BSD as a whole not getting the treatment it really, truly deserves, and how heartbreaking that is to see. It is heartbreaking to me to see how much Asagiri apparently loves the anime, from what he said at Anime Expo, when his story deserves so, so much better than he seemingly is even aware of. And I will always give Bones due credit when they've earned it, like I have the last few weeks, so I'm not even always constantly ragging on them, but even that praise comes with the caveat of "there's no explanation for why the quality is suddenly better now, or why it's so inconsistent in general, and I shouldn't even have to praise it so much, because this level of quality should be a given."

Yeah I agree that Bones has repeatedly demostred a very faulty understanding of the manga tone and even of the themes it carries on– even though there's also a chance that the shift in tone was intentional. They saw that undemanding shonen sold better than seinen (which may now seem easy to disprove, but the same probably wasn't as evident back in 2015 when the bsd anime was announced), so they made the marketing choice to declinate bsd so that it could cater to a shonen audience too, and stuck with that decision. That would make sense although in the end, as you said, it resulted in a series that feels deeply disconnected in tone and themes to its original, all while the narrated events stay the same.

I do wholeheartedly agree that if you need so many reused frames and to resort to static frames that drag on for several dozens of seconds, then your season simply isn't ready for release. C'mon, seriously, an original op and ending are the bare MINIMUM. The only reason why they didn't postpone the season release is greed. Not to mention (very much needed to mention), it's harmful for the animators twice: on one hand, because it necessarily puts them under a lot of stress and overworking conditions in order to churn out an entire season in such a short timespan; but I also feel like we shouldn't overlook the other aspect that is just... How extremely saddening and disheartening it is to not be able to dedicate the time you'd want to your art product, and seeing it published in a way that looks rushed and unfinished. I think it's important to acknowledge the frustration animators are likely to experience when that happens, especially because most times it's people who love their job of artist and of course work hard so that the result is the best it can be. But yeah the thing is: it's important - no matter how unpleasant - to say, it's not okay, because otherwise a low quality product is only going to become the norm.

I agree there was a noticeable quality improvement in the last three episodes (4-6), and I may be wrong, but I think it's reasonable to believe it's because the first three episodes had to be prepared in advance in order to be ready for the pre-screening that took place on the 8th of July in Japan. That may explain why the later episodes have been so much better compared to the first three: they simply had more time to work on them, and it's possible they're keeping working on the episodes even as they're airing. But I do agree... It's very saddening to see. Like of course, I agree, I *AM* happy the last episodes have been good (the last one was especially enjoyable!), but there really is that big ache given by thinking about what the Fukuchi vs. sskk fight could have been if only it was given the time and care it deserved. Sigh. It was just a very unfortunate coincidence for everyone, because, bias aside, it was really a pivotal moment in the whole manga... I mean. C'mon. Atsushi is the protagonist, but is yet again not treated as one because of, once again, marketing choices. It's a bit saddening. With season 4, I was dreading for when the season would have ended; with season 5 I regretfully must admit that I found myself again and again just hoping it would end already. Because even now that the animation has improved significantly, I can't stop thinking of what episode three should have been - what it had the right to be, as no less important than any other episode -, and I feel like my enjoyment of the season is just ruined.

One last note, and I know it's not what you meant when referring to panel-by-panel adaptations, and feel free to consider this my own pet peeve, but. Studios should be able to notice when they're working with the most iconic panel of the entire manga and should treat it accordingly. I'm cool and chill but what they did to the chapter 88 Akutagawa panel is unforgivable and I will resent them forever because of it.

[night-inferno871]

I'm making this to replace the pin post from before

we got a new design and new story for this Au

This Peppino clone is an failed experiment that Pizzahead made to see if something else could make a very powerful clone then what he usually used to make his clones

after creating the clone Pizzahead marked the clone a failed experiment seeing how the clone turned out

the clone was eventually named Experiment 195161691415 a.k.a. Seppino (the numbers actually make the name if you use letter numbers also only Pizzahead will call him this lol)

Seppino is 5'8 but can change his size whenever he like to

Seppino have a another form he likes using to scare people with and also sometimes use when anger

in this form Seppino is 6'2

This Au is set after the Tower event meaning Seppino lives in what left of the destroyed Tower and roams around as he please

Seppino is only friendly to those who isn't mean

he also act like a big goofy dog sometimes

sometimes when he hungry he'll leave the destroyed tower and sneaks behind Peppini's Pizzeria and take whatever he can find the trash, one time he also got caught by Gustavo one night well looking for food thinking it was Fake Peppino lol

alright this is all I came up with I hope it's good and makes sense I'll probably update it later to ad more stuff I fix something that doesn't make sense

Tbh I never give too many of my characters back stories or stories at all for them so sorry if it kinda bad I give it my best try

I know I already post the art him already but I'm reusing them for this and I well add more pictures then two when I updated it again

anyways that's all for now bye 👋

[xxfanfiction-emo-trinityxx]

Hello! I have a question. When you make your imagines for band mates from band how do you mike the link or whatever like say I’m wanting to read a Frank iero imagine so I go to the mcr section and press Frank iero then all the links to the story’s that you made pop up. Then I press the link that says like idk “yay Frank is awesome” (I’m just pretending that’s a title of the story lol) how do you do that? (Sorry to ask and sorry if I didn’t make sense)

No no no, don't worry! It took me ages to understand how it's done.

I'm working on Android and Windows 10, so it's possible that if you have a different system, it will look different for you, but let's go with what I have here.

So first of all you go to the post you want to create a link for, in our case our "yay Frank is awsome" fic. In the upper right corner of the post are three dots. Click those and then "copy link" (or something like that, I don't know the exact phrasing since my settings aren't in English). Alternatively you can go to the share symbol and chose "copy link" there.

Then you go to your Frank masterlist, where you want to add in the link. Go to edit mode and type out, what you want displayed later e.g. the title and wordcount "yay Frank is awsome WC: 2 324". Then you mark all the words where you want the link to be. They later will be underlined. When you marked the words, a few symbols will appear, like if you want the letters to be big, cursive, small, which colour AND there will be a symbol with two chain links.

First picture is Android (chain link symbol in the bottom right) you need to click the picture to see it fully :P

Second picture is Firefox on Windows 10 (chain link symbol is the second from the right)

Click that symbol, and you can add in the link you copied earlier

Then you just have to confirm and BAM! you got a link. The text you selected should now be underlined.

Don't forget to save and you're good to go.

Btw. If you want to reuse a link you created like that, you can just copy paste is. E.g. you want all your Frank stories to have a link to the Frank masterlist, you can just go to the main masterlist, select the "Frank Masterlist" Text that is underlined with the link, and go to edit your Frank story to paste in that underlined text. I always check if the link works, but I've never had problems with that. Also works with several links at once if they're all in the same at once selected block. (Did this make sense? Idk I just woke up.)

I hope I was able to help! If you have any further questions, let me know!

Keep running

xo

Introduction

This is an original character roleplay blog!

Character: Vero (He/Him) - Gender: Agender - Sexuality: AroAce - Age: ???

Owner: @neversam (He/They) - Gender: Genderfluid - Sexuality: AroAce (Spec) + Omniromantic - Age: MINOR !!!!

PLEASE send asks (DO NOT SEND NSFW ASKS)!! If you try to flirt with him he'll probably flirt back or make fun of you try at your own risk lol. Vero loves to answer questions!! Vero is agender but he can shapeshift. His most common forms besides his male one is turning into a parrot and turning into his female form. For the sake of consistency Vero spun a wheel one day to decide his human-like form and it landed on masculine. He truly does not care what you refer to him as.

He is a silly goober who likes to torture his souls! At the moment the only visible universes you can read of his are Author's Mistake and My Ordinary Brother on quotev! He is currently working on his tbhk universe with his co-writer. [Owner's Quotev Account]

Smh I never wanted to work her anyway

Okay buddy..

Lore

What is a fate writer?

“Let’s start with a Fate Writer. It’s essentially an angel who writes a soul’s fate or destiny. A soul is a being that hasn’t ascended to it’s universe’s heaven or hell yet. I’m going to assume you know the multiverse theory, I basically just copied a universe of My Hero Academia, changed some things, and added you to it! Also, yeah… Sorry for killing you when your house burned down… that was on accident. I spilled my coffee on your book.” - Vero from my Quotev MHA fanfic, Author's Mistake

What is a counterpart?

A counterpart in the terms of a fate writer is someone connected to a fate writer's soul. Essentially a mortal form of them. (Example, Vero's counterpart is Sam the owner of this blog @neversam)

The counterpart is the one creating universes (fanfics/stories) while the fate writer manages them

in basic terms a fate writer could be seen as a sona of the counterpart

Where does a fate writer reside?

A fate writer each have their own space, for Vero it's his library. Occasionally a fate writer could have other fate writers live with them if they are writing a universe together.

This Library is in a place beyond the universes, and if Vero wishes he could teleport the medium to his library. Which brings us to our next section

What is a medium?

A medium is a soul that a fate writer uses to easier intervene though a universe. They do not have to have a medium. (Examples can be y/ns from fanfics or ocs that were added in.)

Souls can get reused (which explains reincarnation fics or isekai fics)

Each soul has it's own book in Vero's libraries.

What is the power of intervention?

Most fate writers have their own unique ability, Vero's is intervention. He is able to intervene in his universes' like he can actually visit them and be in there. Typically, a fate writer cannot do that. He can also telepathically talk to his mediums or souls whenever he pleases, which is also not typical of a fate writer's abilities.

reaction part 1 to dream haus picnic ep 1

this is a super long video, 47 minutes

this looks to be a continuation of the dream haus universe (the corporate roleplay) since they're reusing the names. i guess it'll be like a corporate retreat. they did a lot of activities in the opening intro.

the opening intro was very cute, with dream run as the bgm.

the backstory is that smoothie sold super well so this trip is a gift to the staff

mark is playing tour guide with the microphone :P

whether or not he's still the intern, he must turn >3

cmo renjun is on a very important business trip

haechan asked to go home to change for the trip

jaemin complaining about the work trip being on a weekend. he knows what's up.

jaemin's been taking pictures non stop so far. don't know if it's a bit.

haechan said they usually play crayon shin-chan for them on the bus?

haechan being like let's play a game and whoever wins gets to go home. you know all the introverts in this group perked up at that.

schmooze (also marksung)

jeno wasn't even wrong when he told jisung that the intern days were the best because you could leave at whatever time

haechan asked mark to stop manspreading and mark just spread his legs wider 😅

then jeno complaining about jaemin's shoulders infringing on his space lol. these guys are too relaxed or they've grown too big or they've grown too comfortable complaining about each other lel

they're playing the 1-second song guessing game. chenle said before that he'd only be able to guess nct songs but he's doing decently right now lol.

moving on to liar game

mahae bickering was cute lol. mark was showing the phone to the camera and haechan happened to turn his head and mark was like "HEY STOP LOOKING" and haechan was like "I'M NOT!!!!!"

lol mark was starting to talk about the 'thing' and i guess it was a bit hard to watch for the guys (sorry i don't really know how to play this game) but jeno blew up being like "WHY ARE YOU SO BAD AT THIS GAME TAT" how do you get that response out of him lmao

jaemin admitted to being the liar and then started joker laughing and jisung was like "...is the craziness from two years ago back?" i guess 2022 jaemin was legendary or smthg among the members.

apparently the word was peach and jaemin really was the liar lol. i think jeno and jisung gave clues that were puns.

also hilarious that whenever any of them mess up and forget to show the camera their word, they all go like "czennies, play along!!!" lol. showbiz kids indeed.

lol the food was something a lot of the guys didn't know so that was why they ended up giving some weird clues

markmin english class but they descended into giggles before he got any further

jaemin once again complaining about the trip being on the weekend because everywhere is crowded

jaemin is surprisingly in tune with the plight of the common people lol

i assumed jisung was at a point where he was used to being a celeb in public but i guess not quite yet. forever shy.

the guys found a punching game machine at the rest stop

jisung didn't have money on him and haechan was like "...then why are we here"

jaemin told jeno that he had to get the cinnamoroll keychain and jeno was like "but i have nowhere to put it :(" but jaemin got it anyway. there were also some 10cm plushies and jeno said one of them looked like jaemin :P

mark and chenle checking out the zodiac bracelets. chenle says he likes that kind of thing (i guess zodiac and astrology stuff?)

jaemin was being his weird self again and jeno was looking around seeing if anyone heard

jaemin was saying how jeno was an introvert who didn't like crowded places so that was why they went outside for food instead

i think chenle sprained his pinky. he was saying how if his finger wasn't injured, he would have picked up the tray of food and mark was like well even if your finger was fine i would have gone and get it lol. everything's a competition with chenle.

haechan shared some of his tonkatsu with mark and chenle :3

haechan: let's play rock paper scissors mark & chenle: no haechan: you won't do it for the content? mark: we don't know you leave us alone

intern got stuck cleaning up ToT

arrived. the place looks a bit castle like from this angle.

haechan immediately on the karaoke machine

jaemin and jeno wandered outside for a while before going inside

local introvert always wants to not be here

lol there's a karaoke machine on each floor

haechan asked the in to turn again and jisung did a pirouette <3

they're going to stay here for 24 hours, so this is an overnight trip. this feels more like the 7llin series than the 7llin with dream earlier this year where they didn't stay overnight.

he's actually soooo uncomfortable...i feel you homebody v.v

mark was handing out papers lol

(i accidentally saved over this post with an old version so lost my work from here to the end of this post...tried to retype them from memory though...)

jisung won the ladder game 🤣🤣 to decide roles for the rest

haechan asked jisung for a redo and he was like okay 😅 太乖啦~! 💖

jaemle cuddle session

jeno ended up winning ladder 2

jisung volunteered to grill the meat and chenle was like "oh....sorry" 😅 jisung's really trying hard to improve his image from clumsy baby eh

jaemin put in charge of cooking as always. he wasn't very pleased about it but unfortunately he's typecast lol.

jisung designated as driver 🤣🤣🤣

chenle SHOCK at the thought of not being able to play games because he was designated judge. he's actually soooo whiny about this.

haechan designated mark dish washer 🤣

he's actually sooo upset

the real questions

so they will play ping pong for grocery shopping and foot volleyball for cleaning up

new work... the culmination of one month but more like two days. long, long, long breakdown bee low.

had the idea for this ever since dan made this tweet calling himself and the band the good boys lol. thought it would translate well to some kind of scrappy collage-y thing which i somehow end up continuing to make, maybe this is just my design path. my vibe per-se. created this file like nearly a month ago now and couldn't really hack out where i wanted it to go and sort of shelved it knowing something would click for it eventually, which it did! i was starting work on something else (that i'm going to scrap in favor of something more accurate to what i wanted, that will appear soon enough) and inadvertently figured out that this is what i had in mind for this intentionally and it had to be done.

started by hand cutting w a x-acto all the lettering for this and scanning it. i knew i could just go do all this digitally and whatever but i enjoy physical elements in my work as it makes it more personal and "real". unfortunately my actual letters scanned looked incredibly dodgy and i couldn't repair them, so the letters are just overlays using the same paper i had already pre-scanned for textures.

the picture cutouts kind of gave me more hell than i intended – all pink at the start, re-cut 2-3 times because they were feathered wrong or dissolved from magic eraser (my own fault!)

here is a early wip from 3 days ago

anyways i really hacked it the fuck out last night for a good 5, maybe 6 hours where i re-cut everything, re-colored from a new set of swatches and started to create a full arrangement of what i had in mind. i ended up settling on this icky yellow background because it did contrast nicely with the pinks/blues/purples in the text and photos. added some names which i just cut from the letters i already had and some lasso as a placeholder.

i tried to fill in the background with this extremely claustrophobic wave-y shit. i could have ended up keeping this had i had the patience to deal with evening out paths – a tedious task that i'm still quite rickety at.

so i scrapped that and went to bed completely unsatisfied.

however, as soon as i added that yellow background i was like holy fuck i'm making a ode to de la soul's 3 feet and rising and earlier i did attempt to make something in that vein in order to fill the dead space. it didn't look good, so i scrapped it and pretty much overhauled it all again...

a literal mess 👆

keeping the outline on the photos bc i think that actually made them pop just that little more, i desperately needed to create something to fill the dead space. so i re-built a background based on the pre-made .psd i used to back the spoon thing from a few months ago because i didn't want to reuse the same backing for a second time – poor practice! found what i needed amongst the sea of resources and made something nice and unique. added and recolored some scribbles and arranged them from there. boosted up the text by making it look a little more cut out than what it originally was. ended up with the final product above!

some details 👇

all credit of the photos goes to poisonous.culture on ig too btw, those pics alone really did help me come up w some direction in the first place! although i really wish the pic used of dan b was better :(

turns out i made error so actual final above jrihgdfjkhgskd error cast in iron here though SORRy uguhjdf sjhf sorry ben i cannot beleive i Renamed u. jhfbkjdfhbgklvjsd I KNEWWW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG W IT BUT COULDNT PUT MY FINGER ON ITT HGSDHFHHJJHGJGSFDGHJSFGHJSGHSFGHSGHJ fail moment

Sour Taste ANGST | Obey Me x Olivia Rodrigo's Sour

Synopsis: Sorting the Obey Me characters into which Olivia Rodrigo's Sour songs I picture them crying to whist being insecure about themselves or thinking of a toxic MC.

Characters: The Brothers and The Dateable (-Luke)

CW: Olivia Rodrigo's music contains Swearing, Some Suggestive Content, Infidelity and Depictions of Toxic Relationships. Lyrics imply MC is toxic/unfaithful.

A/N: Love this album! I can't wait until the new one. "Vampire" has me hyped! Also, listen, I'm gonna be honest. I'm an Asmo stan, and this album is basically his angst playlist, right? You'll see his name pop up a bunch. Shh, don't worry about it... I just love angsty Asmo... (Mammon is here a bunch as well lol)

"All I did was try my best This the kind of thanks I get? Unrelentlessly upset (ah, ah, ah) They say these are the golden years But I wish I could disappear Ego crush is so severe God, it's brutal out here (Yeah!) I feel like no one wants me And I hate the way I'm perceived I only have two real friends And lately, I'm a nervous wreck 'Cause I love people I don't like And I hate every song I write And I'm not cool and I'm not smart And I can't even parallel park"

MAMMON, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Diavolo, Lucifer

"Ain't it funny All the twisted games All the questions you used to avoid? Ain't it funny? Remember I brought her up And you told me I was paranoid You betrayed me And I know that you'll never feel sorry For the way I hurt, yeah You'd talk to her When we were together Loved you at your worst But that didn't matter It took you two weeks To go off and date her Guess you didn't cheat But you're still a traitor God, I wish that you had thought this through Before I went and fell in love with you"

SOLOMON, Simeon, Diavolo, Lucifer, Satan

"And all my friends are tired Of hearing how much I miss you, But I kinda feel sorry for them 'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah Today I drove through the suburbs And pictured I was driving home to you And I know we weren't perfect But I've never felt this way for no one, oh And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, Now that I'm gone I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me 'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street"

SIMEON, Mammon, Beelzebub, Diavolo

"I called you on the phone today Just to ask you how you were All I did was speak normally Somehow I still struck a nerve You got me fucked up in the head, boy Never doubted myself so much Like, am I pretty? Am I fun, boy? I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff 'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back I'm the love of your life until I make you mad It's always one step forward and three steps back Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand No, I don't understand"

ASMODEUS, Mammon, Simeon, Leviathan

"So when you gonna tell her That we did that, too? She thinks it's special But it's all reused That was the show we talked about Played you the song she's singing now when she's with you Do you get déjà vu when she's with you? Do you get déjà vu? Oh Do you get déjà vu? Strawberry ice cream in Malibu Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too You're trading jackets like we used to do (Yeah, everything is all reused) Play her piano, but she doesn't know (oh, oh) That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel (oh) A different girl now, but there's nothing new (I know you get déjà vu)"

MAMMON, Lucifer, Solomon, Asmodeus, Satan, Belphegor, Barbados

"Well good for you, I guess you're getting everything you want You bought a new car and your career's really taking off It's like we never even happened, baby What the fuck is up with that?

HORSE IS SO CUTE also apologies if this has already been answered, i tried looking it up on your profile but nothing showed up so i dunno if thats an error on my app or not, but anyway! how do you clean bones? a year or two ago my cats killed a chipmunk and left nothing but the head and tail, so i wanted to get the fur and flesh off the head and thiught i could boil it in some water but the ones i live with told me no because it would ruin the pot and i dont know what to do. its just been sitting in the freezer for forever now lol

H.orse says thank you.

Sorry I took forever to reply to this. It ate my reply the first time and then I forgot. I was cleaning bones this morning and then I remembered. I uh forgot to take pictures.

Don’t boil bones. It will do bad things to the bones. Break and they will never be clean.

I use maceration (using water to grow bacteria to decompose the body). Will be a lil stinky but it’s low maintenance and outside so it should be fine.

Something that small can be left in a container of pure water outside in the heat. No fancy chemicals or anything. Just make sure animals can’t get to it. I have had bodies stolen by stray animals.

An old plastic container with a lid should work just fine (butter, sour cream, etc.). Just make sure to poke some holes in the lid for the gasses to escape. You might top it off every now and then.

That’s basically it for awhile. Wait for the bacteria to grow in the warm conditions so they can decompose the animal. You don’t necessarily have to get all the skin and flesh off. You can just wait a few weeks and it should come off in the water. Don’t change the water until all the flesh is gone. You want to keep the bacteria in there.

Check if the bones are flesh-free. They probably won’t look clean and pretty right now but at this stage it’s just seeing if all the flesh is gone. If it looks good then dump the water and wash the bones off. You can use a little strainer for the teeth if you are feeling fancy. Small teeth get lost very easily.

Then we go to degreasing! I wash and reuse the container I had the thing in.

This will get all that grease out of the bones. Make them actually clean and not slimy. They will last longer.

This step requires some dish soap. I use off brand orange stuff so it really doesn’t matter what kind. You just want degreasing dish soap.

Fill your container back up with water and then add the skull. Pour some dish soap in there and then leave back outside.

This time, change the water about every week or so. If it looks dirty, change it out. You want to do this until the water stays clear.

When that happens, wash off the bones and container and it’s time for whitening. This requires some hydrogen peroxide.

It’s about dollar for a bottle at the grocery store if you don’t already have some at home.

Do not use bleach. That will severely damage the bones.

Set the skull in and fill your container with the peroxide. Make sure it is fully submerged. I know these little skulls like floating.

This will disinfect the bones and make them lighter in color. This will not damage the bones.

The longer you leave the bones in, the lighter they get up to a point. Small bones should only take a few hours to get maximum white. You can always pull them earlier if you like the color.

This also helps get rid of trapped dirt. It might make a fizzing sound. That’s fine.

When that is done, you can rinse and let dry. Glue those teeth in and you are done! Also if any part separated during cleaning you can go ahead and glue them back together.

I use just regular Elmer’s washable school glue so I can get the teeth back out if I want. Works absolutely fine. You can go for super glue if you are up for it.

I forgot to mention that bones look darker when wet. If you want to see the actual color when cleaning, let it fully dry and you will see the real color. You will also see the grease spots when dry. If you see those then it’s not done.

Hopefully this helps with your c.hipmunk!

NOTE ON GOUACHES AND WATERCOLORS:

I will not do returns for dried gouache or watercolor in the tubes. Some of them will need to be reworked! (like I can hear one of the marie's gouaches rattling inside the tube, lol)

The fix to a dried out or drying out watercolor/gouache is incredibly simple: add water. You can cut open the tube to act as a cup, or cut them open and pour them out into a plastic paint cub or reused glass/plastic cup with lid. or right into a palette. add just enough water to fully soak the dried paint. wait a few days for it to soften up. add more water as necessary. if it's still a bit thick, you can add a drop of plain glycerin to the paint and mix it in to help it retain the moisture it's soaking in. this will also make it easier to rewet as you go on.

I will say the lukas gouaches all appear squishy still in tubes, the acrylics are perfect, and the sohos/turner seem mostly fine, but there's some they may need re-constituting and the marie's may have some dry ones as well. lastly, the QOR's don't have much left actually inside the tubes, so you might want to cut the tubes open anyways to paint directly from. they're nice paints tho, and i of course am bundling with where i poured all the paint into.

also: sorry the lighting is weirdly yellowy. I laid out a white curtain that I am not currently using to try and take pictures on and it's just...this whole house has terrible lighting in every room lol. i promise you those curtains are white.

these can't be shipped media mail, so just keep that in mind!

[flyingcookierambles]

oh yeah some silly gpose i guess

under the cut

i have to learn how to screen record tomorrow when the game is back up bc static pictures cannot do the nirvana zeta (replica) justice. the thing changes colors! the gems are rainbow!!! its so pretty. my pride and my joy and my source of pain and suffering for about 1 year lol.

the above were in my Off gshade setting. that is to say, my own setting. which is why it sucks and is so so crunchy. like. i really am envious of Pint (former WoW player, now a ffxiv lalafell streamer and machinima/animator/comedy guy/femboy kinda lol) and his gshade settings are so so pretty and cinematic and the DoF auto setting is good i really have to find the vod or something where he sets it up or answers a question abt it so i can copy. he’s only adjusted it a few times in his vods and i think the names of the settings were just like “Pint ____” so its custom i guess and everything uuugh will he release his settings publicly i need to knowwwwwwww ugh

anyways BLUE TONGUE AAAAAAAA RAEN ARE SO CUTE i can never fantasia to be a xaela or non-au ra race now im sorry the blue tongue is just so so cute and such a dumb little detail i love it lolgruhago

on a shadowbringers train last night (im in a hunt linkshell for Jenova called Hunt VIOLENCE II but is 128/128/full so idk if the ppl running it will make a VIOLENCE III or what lol). someone sniped the grassman :( monke gone

bonus silly adventurer plates

played the piano for francel at the firmament and unlocked charlemend’s custom deliveries finally. loved this scene. on one hand i get that they’re just reusing npcs bc it probably costs money to make new ones or whatever the push of the randomization button is, on the other hand i love that they reuse npcs bc i can name ppl and ishgard feels lived in with your familiar neighbors :)

tbh pre-hw, i accidentally spoiled myself via the subreddit and twt, not on the plot stuff for hw, but the ishgardian restoration. and also a bit of dark knight. so. my impression was the gross communal salt rocks, the squishy beds of mysterious substance, the murder of the innocent orl tribe. so. my first impression, pre-hw, was...not great.....but now that it really seems like they’re trying to make it a better more inclusive place and moving more towards living with the dragons like letting ehll tol and her dragon friends live in the city, plus the machinist questline of the great equalizer power of gun uhhh i mean hilda and her hounds providing the brume and common folk safety in the streets instead of just the corrupt temple knights - ishgard just feels like home now. :) there’s also the crystarium on the first.

anyways, visited another world after seeing a shb hunt ad on the centurio hunts discord.

also, my crappy apartment in-game in the empyreum / the ishgardian housing apartments. im finally decorating it.

saw a concert in gridania aetheryte plaza and there was a portgas d ace cosplayer lol.

anyways i loved my co-healer cajun lettice here lol we all had brain fog. thankfully no full raid wipes, just...our team. lol

slightly outdated, but heres my suffering inventory and relic grind. im on the stupid atma books rn, so kinda disregard the atma shown here rn.

edit: realized i forgor to add the pics of the artemis atma oops. the colorful one is the gshade neneko x eorzea collection natural vanilla settings. the drab boring one is just the vanilla base game. literally. so. drab. even on my regular ps4 and whenever i borrow my sister’s ps5 to play, our tvs have built-in shader/color adjusting settings to make it look not. dirt. ugh. gshade really helps this game i swear idk how vanilla ppl do it anymore lol. its not even like cheating modding fluid aura type game mods like in world of warcraft, its literally just a built in instagram filter lol.

just putting these here bc. uh. i was thinking of helping out that tracking site that’s been helping me not go absolutely bonkers doing these dang relics. they need a picture of it or something i guess. idk. its this website, it saves me so much time and hassle. > https://ffxivrelictracker.com/

ok and maybe the zodiac buddy dalamund add-on*winks*

Verdict: TEW GOOD!

And suprise! Boba to compete!🧋🧡💛

I went to a local Asian market Thursday and bought a few treats, including this silken tofu that I loosely remembered can be used in smoothies.

I loved the texture as it was like butter slicing it up when i prepared half the block for my smoothie experiment. I was somewhat suprised by it being the same color and shape, though idk why I was expecting it to be different other than texture lol.

Like I said, I felt bad that I was using my blender so late, but I had a pretty strong craving for a sweet treat that anything else I had wouldnt have sufficed. And I dont have many sweet treats rn (sorry, trail-mix; nun personal lol). But I figured this smoothie wont be too experimental and wont take too long since I'm familiar with all the flavors and textures I used (including the frozen strawberry I flash freezed a few nights ago. Those turned out fine btw!). I chopped them, pureed the mix, was pleasantly suprised at the flavor, and, most importantly, the texture!

Its so creamy and the tofu nicely distributed the chunkier pieces of veggies and fruits I used. Also adds some water to dilute the acids from the citrus I included, too. I think silken tofu is what I'll use along with (vegan) yogurt and smooth fruits, like mangoes and bananas, to keep this texture while I'm still out of ice (though the frozen strawberries I used added some frozen-volume I needed). I think the ice will perfect what I got going on. Which brings me to the ingredients!

In no particular proportions, I used the above ingredients, including a few not on screen, which are:

Around half a block of silken tofu

A few baby carrots, sliced

2 clementines (theres 3 pictured but lol)

A small bit of fresh ginger root

A squirt of lemon juice and its pulp from a fresh slice

A generous amount of honey

A bit of coconut milk

Two capfulls of orange juice

(Optional) a pinch of black pepper

(Also optional but rlly good) tapioca pearls

I figured I could add a bit of nostalgic texture and sweetness to my drink to (almost) perfect it by buying some raw boba that aformentioned Thursday. I say "nostalgic" bc I used to work in a boba shop a few yrs ago! As for the boba in this drink, I first got to try a packaged, take-home version last Christmas as a gift one of my coworkers gave me, and it was so good and easy to make (after I got the hang of it lol) that I bought my own. Its honestly good on its own, too!

Back to this boba, after boiling the pearls in hot water, I drained it, rinsed them w cold water, then added sugar and honey to them in a bowl that I sat in the fridge for several minutes (so they wouldnt stick together, as per the instructions).

It was def a great addition to my smoothie. One day I'll make my own pearls as I learned not long ago that boba can be made with any flour! Though the texture and color differences between flour types will vary. I'll invest in a wooden or metal rolling pin next for that experiment. And the next time I'm craving boba, too, I'll add fruit bits and other candies just like I did at my job. I love this whole process really :3

Once I finished the smoothie and added the boba, I sat the (reused) glass bottle I poured it all in into the freezer to chill the glass and keep the smoothie from melting and separating. After several minutes, I took it out and it stayed cool for quite a while to enjoy the drink cold. I saved a few boba straws from going to the same boba shop I worked at, this time as a full-time customer lol. So I was truly prepared to have this sweet night treat!

9/10 beverage that I'll absolutely make again and again! 💛🧡🧋

Gonna try to use silken tofu for the first time! For a smoothie! 😋

I'm excited (tho a lil guilty since I'm craving something sweet and smooth this late and theres no quite mode on my blender lol sorry neighors!). I read that silken tofu is mild enough in flavor that, when mixed with other ingredients, the soy-flavor is hardly perceptible, or favors soy milk. So if one fancies that, then its just fine. Thankfully I enjoy all sorts of plant milks, so the taste shouldnt be a problem for me.

Will be back with results! ⏳

I made little trading cards for my Legacy Sims, lol. With all their little stats like they’re baseball stars or something. Hopefully if/when it gets really long, this will be a good way of keeping track of everyone, like a binder full of cards. I think they’d be particularly useful for things like double-founder Legacies, BaCC or Apocalypse challenges with multiple founders, etc.

If anyone is interested I could see about turning them into templates or something but they’re kinda goofy and very much for my personal use so the files are pretty unwieldy LOL.
