suddenly longing to be somebody’s partner, but not necessarily in the romantic sense. more like a matched set. more like everybody assumes you know exactly where the other is in the moment. more like of course we’re going to tackle this problem together. not really in the ‘officially a couple’ sense. more in the ‘we work so well together why would we ever not’ sense. you know?

Travelling to the star trek universe but only to tell Lore he doesn't need fixing and he's perfect the way he is <3 (the murders were fine)

Did some redesign mock-ups for Ec-4o.verse Cross, Fresh, and Error!

These guys didn't really *need* redesigns but I was having a ball with Trech (Ec-4o!Fresh) and gave him Arcade Carpet designs and decided I needed to redesign some others too! (Check below the cut for Old Designs, Lore, and a Stupid Screenshot from my pal @/Neonsix67)

So OLD DESIGNS:

(We're gonna act like I drew Trech more than twice-)

So, old art, yucky, whatever. We know the drill lmao- but because Ec-4o.verse is such an ongoing project these guys have been through a bunch of redesigns. Regrettably, me from 2 years ago was unaware of Layering and Shape Language, so they look kinda gross.

Cross' design has consistently been my favorite I think, just because he was a later addition and so had a bunch of my newer ideas integrated. They all have their flaws tho (Cross was too lean and got thrown between Baby and Grown Guy too often in my art. Error uhhh... yeesh. When I say I couldn't draw him, I meant it. I never knew what to do with his wires and I kept putting him in armor? Fresh just wasn't fleshed out enough. He was that SparkleDog of my verse.)

Also: I wanted Fresh to be top-heavy, like, big baggy round clothes on his upper half then lil guy legs. Cross I wanted to be more flat and strict, hense his clothes being all Tube-shaped. Then Error needed Triangle vibes. His old design was too Rectangle for me. The exposed limbs are mostly just for me because I love a-symmetry and also I don't keep a consistent clothing style, so I like to keep a visually interesting element (like a limb) exposed for clarity's sake when I draw them in new poses later.

LORE:

Cross: A robot (Ecto) who was initially a Guard-Model ecto. He was one of the last to be turned over when the government was rallying citizens to donate their bots to fight in the war. He was remodeled and supplied with a special task by his Programmer: Protect THE FILES at all costs. He's rather small for a guard-bot, but makes up for it with his agility and sheer stubbornness. Blue finds him heavily damaged and on low battery in an old lab, guarding a room that was sealed tight. His Old design utilized Shields (scarf detached to become them) but his new design is much more focused on quick bursts of offense. If he gets you first, then you're no longer a threat.

Error: an Ecto who was one of the first bots handed over. He was a former data storage bot that worked at a small library. As one of the first data-bots to come in, he was immediately modified and put to work alongside other Ectos to compile all of the nation's history into their data banks. Error was particularly receptive to overloads of data, so he continued to be modified and made into the prime data-bank. When the war started, he was eventually hidden away and sealed in an air-tight room. Eventually Cross was sent to guard the door. They were eachother's only company for... years? Error isn't fond of touch or tampering with hid systems, as everything he knows is barely abd haphazardly stored on unsafe files. Each Crash he endures takes more and more of his own personal data away, and he refuses to lose any more.

Fresh (Trech): A Parasite that was created by Sci to repair living beings in the same way that an Ecto can auto-repair itself. Fresh is actually a liquid that, when placed in contact with a wounded/dying person, it can invade their systems and stop all forms of bleeding/dusting. Fresh wasn't supposed to be sentient, and was meant to be scrapped, but he ended up being vital in stopping the war. In turn, Sci granted him freedom. Fresh can inhabit humans, monsters, and Ectos, but prefers skeleton monsters. He often defies the logic of his world, but what Fresh doesn't? Blue meets him far into the story after he's unraveled a lot of mysteries. Fresh just drops by after hearing rumors of Blue's repair work, and is met by less-than-warm reception from Error and Geno.

Other:

I was trying to save the image and my phone was bugging out, so I sent it to Neon. Safe to say she has peak comedic timing 😌💖 (For the record, we are both adults, and also my parents are aware I draw utmv stuff, so she had to make the threat actually a threat lmao---) I also love Chilchuck talking with the Operator. We are the dynamic duo frfr.

It's 2024. Give Souma a wheelchair

(The Daggers are covering for Maverick's absence) Cyclone: Do you have any idea where Maverick is right now? Rooster:...As a matter of fact, I think I heard him say he he had a meeting. Uh, but then again, I think he mentioned talking with the new Top Gun class at some point today, too. Hangman: No, Bradshaw, he said he was going to the recruitment event today in Reno...!

Phoenix: Well, I thought he was just going to get lunch for everybody. Payback: Oh, get the heck outta here! Y'all mean he ain't in the bathroom...?!

[dandelionvirus]

Idk what more ridiculously rule breaking thing I want more

Brain figuring out time travel in a way to bring all the wrongfully dead in the mobile games to come together and beat the shit out of MoM in unison

Or the dandelion leaders all being adults and not ghosts (other than ven) and telling Sora and co to get the fuck out of the way this is their fight to finish with MoM or the foretellers or whatever

Silly Game Time: Are you a fan of the mystery/detective genre? If so, what's a story of that genre (movie, show, book, game, etc.) you really like, and why?

It could be a more dramatic one, a more comedic one, a cross-genre one (fantasy or sci-fi or romance or western, etc.) so long as the main focus of the plot is the mystery to unravel!

yeah I like mysteries. HUGE fan of knives out. [spoilers ahead lmao] first of all it has such a unique plot, being told towards the beginning that the death was the fault of our sweet innocent protagonist, only to find out slowly how it was a murder after all, and she did nothing wrong... it's brilliantly told and engaging the whole time. it's funny and dramatic and moving in turns. but most importantly it does a wonderful job conveying these themes of greed and privilege and the idea of "deserving", who deserves what and who doesn't... as a movie made during a time when immigrants' rights was a huge controversial topic in the public eye (not that it isn't a big topic still but it was even more so then), knives out took a really very bold stance, pointing out that even when they claim to be liberals, rich white people at the end of the day still want to retain their privilege and wealth in the same exact way that proud white supremacists do. I respect this movie as FUCK for that

also the solve-it squad returns

[lovevalley45]

ANIME DISCOVERY - Time of the Season Summer 2024 Wrap-up

Summer's over.... and it was a 6/10.

Well, a lot has happened the past few months. The biggest one happening right now is the whole capture of one Sean Combs aka the man known as either Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Brother Love, whatever the hell name he goes by and yeah, folks want his ass under the jail and well, he deserves it. Also, you order 1,000 bottles of baby oil? Like, for real? Did no one question this when he was…

[midnightfangz]

There's something about silly cafe AUs that soothes my soul so much

[tvckerwash]

hmmm I'm thinking about wash's stance on the training accident and I think it would be so funny if he gave maine a lecture about it afterwards
