Y’all know how much I love Gabe, but I can’t get over how boring his design is.

#Personal #First of all he has no casual outfit #I don’t even want to count the one in To Queen Or Not To Queen because it’s so blank it doesn’t convey his personality at all #White shirt and black pants ✌🏻#But at least we get to see his arms #(sorry)#He has no accessories no patterns no color/style preferences #(can you just imagine how hard it makes writing him pre-Shuriki)#What #Is #His #Style #What things can I associate with him #His design screams just one thing: I love my job!!#Which is sure thing accurate but c'mon XD #Really you could give him a brooch a bracelet just anything #He still wears the uniform but also something dear to him which makes him different and unique from the rest of the guards #But at least he's handsome #Like really #He's such a nice character to look at

Remember: The burning sensation is part of the process.

#Mouthwashing #blood #body horror #Emphasizing here that this is in reference to a media and character and not a cry for help on my end.#Mouthwashing is one of those games that tickles my brain and checks all the boxes for my niche interests -#-but it wasn't something that got the silly comic part in my cortex firing up. My analysis brain is eating well though!#What said...It is impossible for me to see this scene and not say out loud: “Me in the middle of my work day".#While there is a lot more going on with curly I personally resonated a lot with his struggles with burnout.#Burnout feels like mouthwash to me. That you keep rinsing out your mouth trying to get rid of the rotting smell #but it's just surface level solutions. The real cure requires something far more significant to actually make a difference.#The job 'is hard' and 'everyone struggles'. It's part of the process right? You're tired? Anxious? Depressed? Us too! Chin up!#Actually I resonated with a lot of things within Curly (this is a curly positive space - he's not perfect. He's just human).#One thing being his desire to see the good in people and believe in their potential.#Because here's the thing. Some people truly do just need someone in their corner who stands by them so they can grow and improve.#And some people will take advantage of your kindness. You focus so much on their humanity while you stop being a person to them.#The horrifically toxic relationship persists because Curly tries to see the bigger picture and believes in the good within.#Anyone who has lived through constantly trying to reframe the hurt as something else knows-#-just how many excuses your brain will make to avoid cognitive dissonance. It's human psychology.#Jimmy sucks so bad. But we the audience have the privilege of not having years of baggage associating him in our minds as 'friend'.

hey mouthwashing analysts, do we maybe want to think a bit before comparing a full grown man, who is just heavily disabled, to a baby? like a literal infant? especially when there's a stronger metaphorical/psychological/symbolic avatar for the baby and pregnancy already present within the narrative? (multiple even!)

#please for the love of sweet christ stop treating or alluding to disabled characters as infantile. what is wrong with you #disabled people who need to rely on the care of others are not like babies. you guys know that right #also aside from it just being generally fucked up and weird #the possible metaphor of curly as anya's baby is very week. especially juxtaposed with the stronger symbols already associated with the #baby/pregnancy in the game (namely polle and the dead pixel; i actually prefer the dead pixel as being representative of jimmy)#also i just realized i spelt weak wrong. sorry im high #i also think curly's position is meant to be reflective of anya's. he's suddenly vulnerable #trapped. and at jimmy's total mercy (the physical assult 2 months in?)#very much in a similar manner to anya. only now- its too late for him to act. he can only witness as things fall apart #someone else on here said this but #curly and jimmy as foils- curly and anya as parallels #curly as a metaphor for the baby runs the risk of. muddying the whole thing #mouthwashing #mouthwashing analysis #captain curly #anya #jimmy

Of course it's fucking THESEUS

okay. i havent shut up about the greek myth aspects of Simon's story and i wont stop now. At first it was a statue of Persephone in the garden, with it's head replaced to be Betty, giving the implication that Betty is the Persephone to Simon's Hades, and it was Simon's status as an antiquarian. and now we've gotten Simon being a huge nerd and bringing up Theseus completely unprompted (so real)

a bit of context in case you need it, Theseus was one of those greek "legendary Heroes" (Achilles, Heracles, etc.), and previously King of Athens, but had managed to dodge most bad things that happen to Greek heroes. he was just stupid and i guess they took pity on him.

The Ship of Theseus or "Theseus' Paradox", which I'd imagine all of tumblr knows by now, but if you don't, is the question on whether if a ship, specifically Theseus', is still the same ship after having all of its parts replaced exactly. To me this makes for such an obvious connection to Simon. Simon's story factors around identity, first and foremost. (yknow. "I Remember You" and all that?) The concept of not knowing what you are fundamentally was originally Ice King's thing, as his previous life as Simon was essentially history. But now that's being brought to Simon. and Simon has the lucidity to process what that means for him.

#on a looser connection #people telling simon to look forward.#whats with you looking back simon?#is there a lover disappearing?#anyway hahaahahh #adventure time spoilers #adventure time #fionna & cake spoilers #fionna and cake #do you think we'll get an odysseus connection soon? with the whole “smart guy misses his wife” thing?#or an icarus connection?#is him putting the crown on the same as flying too close to the sun?#also i'd totally mention simon and theseus both having a burning love life but “burning” means two totally different things for both of the #kind of #both of them have an ex that turns into a divine being because of a being of madness #i guess they have that in common?#somewhat?#anyway im gonna read up on heracles and see if i can associate any of it with finn.

childhood friends au danny is submissive the same way a dog wearing a muzzle is submissive, send tweet.

#he's not domesticated he's tamed #danny fenton is not the ghost king #cfau #childhood friends au #cfau danny #dpxdc #dpxdc crossover #i have another post thats literally just this but it talks about a few other things that i associate with danny's character in CFAU.#including a number of crane wives songs. but i am out of creative juice to be all poetic #fun fact had a concept for him that will never see the light of day where he was going to wear a simple black choker everywhere that #his friends could tug on to get his attention. if anyone else tried though they'd lose their hand. i ultimately scrapped the idea #tugging on a collar like you're telling a dog to heel #if you ask me what songs i associate with CFAU Danny i'll tell you #you can leave gotham but gotham never leaves you. she loves her children like oil loves animals #its not fun if it isn't a little toxic

My (very old) loscar brooch (?) that i just now made doodles for

More pictures under cut

#loscar #logan sargeant #ls2 #oscar piastri #op81 #and now starts the rant #my fave detail is probably tge eye. there few beads like this and they were laying around until my friend said that they look loscar relate #so o started making making whole thing around that bc in my opinion it's genius (also sorry this is gonna have extremely long tags bc i had #run out of them once. maximum is 30 apparently)#I'll go by lains from here so first obviously eagle. i think it's hilarious and what's even funnier is that i bought those charms before #even knowing who Logan was. just for shit and giggles #also to coala i added a bead on top to somewhat match the height #also i love mixing up their colours bc I'm insane about that. how they ideal negatives of eachother and how orange fits logan while blue-os #so i also mixed it up with those animals charms and their attachments here #next stop - oscar lane. there not a lot of black which is bas but at least last heart is actually black. beads above it represents eyes #(you can see with doodles) and next one is for his hair but i couldn't find how to show it #and round see through bead i use for his helmet bc it shines with red yellow and blue #middle part - i talked about the eye but also beads above it. i tried to match tones so they won't clash #then fish and i love that it's in form of heart bc i associate both of them with water so much i needed something here #and bead underneath that is for Logan eyes ofc. for doodles there tried to use brown so oscar would have blond/logan brown but didn't work #AND READ HEART. “-WELL IT'S NOT YELLOW” “PREMA RED THEN?”#as you can see I'm totally normal about their prema times plus i love how it stands out with everything else and can be read as #usual meaning of red hearts. also made out of corals so it fits them too #and last but not least - Logan my beloved #first and foremost STARS #I added as much as humanly possible party bc of American meme party bc i fucking love stars and associate him with them #also added all williams shades of blue and even white so it covers all that #okay no I lied a bit bc i used a button for their dark blue #another thing i would like to mention is metal ring bc it has extremely small hearts on it that you need to look for to notice #I HIT LIMIT FUCK.last thing to say is how I tried to play with circles in middle of every lane. okay goodbye

vagueing but i think certain ppl need to realize that you can be both manipulative And traumatized 😭

#mine.txt #you can guilttrip someone While having abandonment issues!#in fact abandonment issues are the reason some ppl guilttrip in the first place!#if you claim you watched s4 while not understanding that then i dont think you understood s4 at all!#on god if you relate to ls!kab i hope you dont treat ppl irl the way she does zam #who gaf if shes good or evil were on fucking lifesteal #nobody cares about morality except the lsers themselves cause its got direct impact on their playthroughs #she can be as good as she wants but it doesnt change the fact she does a lot of things that are highly intrusive and manipulative #like she didnt even ask first before deciding theyre ''teamed by default''#and everytime she says she just wants zam to be himself she contradicts it #by getting mad at him everytime he doesnt do what she says even if he hasnt even harmed her in any tangible way #and thats just Two(2) of the more recent things shes done not even mentioning her past actions #that she keeps excusing while not excusing the past actions of others #she cant afford him the basic human decency of being his own person #and were supposed to believe she gives a fuck about him beyond using him as an echo chamber????#shes a lot like clown in that while she cares she keeps using her associates #and surprise! not everyone likes being used esp when she keeps flip-flopping on them #/lore obviously cause if she did this kind of unacceptable behaviour irl she wouldve gotten kicked out already #and i hope to God yall dont either #if you do i fucking hate you this is the kinda shit that traumatized me

Do you conlang? I was wondering if you had naming languages (or possibly even more developed ones) for pulling the words you use. I tried to search your blog but didn't find anything, wouldn't be surprised if the feature is just busted tho. Your worldbuilding is wonderful and I particularly enjoy the anthropological and linguistic elements.

Ok the thing is I had kind of decided I was not going to do any conlanging because I don't feel like I'm equipped to do a good job of it, like was fully like "I'm just going to do JUST enough that it doesn't fail an immediate sniff test and is more thoughtful than just keysmashing and putting in vowels". And then have kinda been conlanging anyway (though not to a very deep and serious extent. I maybe have like....an above average comprehension of how language construction works via willingness to research, but that's not saying much, also I can never remember the meanings of most linguistic terms like 'frictives' or etc off the top of my head. I'm just kinda raw dogging it with a vague conceptualization of what these things mean)

I do at least have a naming language for Wardi (and more basic rules for other established languages) but the rudimentary forms of it were devised with methods much shakier and less linguistically viable than even the most basic naming language schemes, and I only went back over it LONG after I had already made a bunch of words so there's some inconsistencies with consonant presence and usage. (This can at least be justified because it IS a language that would have a lot of loanwords and would be heavily influenced by other language groups- Burri being by far the most significant, Highland-Finnic and Yuroma-Lowlands also being large contributors)

The 'method' I used was:

-Skip basic construction elements and fully move into devising necessary name words, with at least a Vibe of what consonants are going to be common and how pronunciation works -Identify some roots out of the established words and their meanings. Establish an ongoing glossary of known roots/words. -Construct new words based in root words, or as obvious extensions/variants of established words. -Get really involved in how the literal meanings of some words might not translate properly to english, mostly use this to produce a glossary of in-universe slang. -Realize that I probably should have at least some very basic internal consistency at this point. -Google search tutorials on writing a naming language. -Reverse engineer a naming language out of established words, and ascribe all remaining inconsistencies to being loanwords or just the mysteries of life or whatever.

I do at least have some strongly established pronunciation rules and a sense of broad regional dialect/accents.

-'ai' words are almost always pronounced with a long 'aye' sound.

-There is no 'Z' or 'X' sound, a Wardi speaker pronouncing 'zebra' would go for 'tsee-brah', and would attempt 'xylophone' as 'ssye-lohp-hon'

-'V' sounds are nearly absent and occur only in loanwords, and tend to be pronounced with a 'W' sound. 'Virsum' is a Highland word (pronounced 'veer-soom') denoting ancestry, a Wardi speaker would go 'weer-sum'.

-'Ch' spellings almost always imply a soft 'chuh' sound when appearing after an E, I, or O (pelatoche= pel-ah-toh-chey), but a hard 'kh' sound after an A or U (odomache= oh-doh-mah-khe). When at the start of a word, it's usually a soft 'ch' unless followed by an 'i' sound (chin (dog) is pronounced with a hard K 'khiin', cholem (salt) is pronounced with a soft Ch 'cho-lehm')

-Western Wardin has strong Burri cultural and linguistic influence, and a distinct accent- one of the most pronounced differences is use of the ñ sound in 'nn' words. The western city of Ephennos is pronounced 'ey-fey-nyos' by most residents, the southeastern city of Erubinnos is pronounced 'eh-roo-been-nos' by most residents. Palo's surname 'Apolynnon' is pronounced 'A-puh-lee-nyon' in the Burri and western Wardi dialects (which is the 'proper' pronunciation, given that it's a Kos name), but will generally be spoken as 'Ah-poh-leen-non' in the south and east.

-R's are rolled in Highland-Finnic words. Rolling R's is common in far northern rural Wardi dialects but no others. Most urban Wardi speakers consider rolling R's sort of a hick thing, and often think it sounds stupid or at least uneducated. (Brakul's name should be pronounced with a brief rolled 'r', short 'ah' and long 'uul', but is generally being pronounced by his south-southeastern compatriots with a long unrolled 'Brah' sound).

Anyway not really a sturdy construction that will hold up to the scrutiny of someone well equipped for linguistics but not pure bullshit either.

#I actually did just make a post about this on my sideblog LOL I think in spite of my deciding not to conlang this is going to go full #full conlanging at some point #The main issue is that the narrative/dialogue is being written as an english 'translation' (IE the characters are speaking in their actual #tongues and it's being translated to english with accurate meaning but non-literal treatment)#Which you might say like 'Uh Yeah No Shit' but I think approaching it with that mindset at the forefront does have a different effect than #just fully writing in english. Like there's some mindfulness to what they actually might be saying and what literal meanings should be #retained to form a better understanding of the culture and what should be 'translated' non-literally but with accurate meaning #(And what should be not translated at all)#But yeah there's very little motivation for conlanging besides Pure Fun because VERY few Wardi words beyond animal/people/place names #will make it into the actual text. Like the only things I leave 'untranslated' are very key or untranslatable concepts that will be #better understood through implication than attempts to convey the meaning in english #Like the epithet 'ganmachen' is used to compliment positive traits associated with the ox zodiac sign or affectionately tease #negative ones. This idea can be established pretty naturally without exposition dumps because the zodiac signs are of cultural #importance and will come up frequently. The meaning can get across to the reader pretty well if properly set up.#So like leaving it as 'ganmachen' you can get 'oh this is an affectionate reference to an auspicious zodiac sign' but translating #it as the actual meaning of 'ox-faced' is inevitably going to come across as 'you look like a cow' regardless of any zodiac angle #^(pretty much retyped tags from other post)#Another aspect is there's a few characters that have Wardi as a second language and some of whom don't have a solid grasp on it #And I want to convey this in dialogue (which is being written in english) but I don't want it to just be like. Random '''broken''' english #like I want there to be an internal consistency to what parts of the language they have difficulties with (which then has implications for #how each language's grammar/conjugation/etc works). Like Brakul is fairly fluent in Wardi at the time of the story but still struggles #with some of the conjugation (which is inflectional in Wardi) especially future/preterite tense. So he'll sometimes just use the #verb unconjugated or inappropriately in present tense. Though this doesn't come across as starkly in text because it's #written in english. Like his future tense Wardi is depicted as like 'I am to talk with him later' instead of 'I'll talk with him later'#Which sounds unnatural but not like fully incorrect #But it would sound much more Off in Wardi. Spanish might be a better example like it would be like him approaching it with #'Voy a hablar con él más tarde' or maybe 'Hablo con él más tarde' instead of 'Hablaré con él más tarde'#(I THINK. I'm not a fluent spanish speaker sorry if the latter has anything wrong with it too)

Chara: I'm wanting everything to end instantly

Asriel: And I'm wanting to go on unchanging forever

🔥🔥🔥THE BEEF WITH LINEAR TIME SIBLINGS🔥🔥🔥

#dreemurr siblings #undertale #Chara Dreemurr #Asriel Dreemurr #demon siblings #Chara wants oblivion and Asriel wants eternity #Chara needs a limit. They just want want to reach the ending (they are the narrator after all? isn't guiding the story to its end literally #their job?). That's why they're so impatient and care so much about efficiency #Asriel is associated with infinity the same way Chara is associated with 9999999. Even in-life the idea that there could be a limit scared #him to no end no matter how high it was he hates the idea that one day Chara won't be there anymore and he won't be able to make good #memories with them anymore. He resets over and over and over because he just can't let go. You do the same once thing once with Chara #hey look! I did a thing #and they instantly insult you over it. They are annoyed and baffled and bored out of their mind. You reached the ending did you not?#Why on earth did you erase it? And why in the angel's name are you here AGAIN?#what a strange child...#little prince #brotp: angels or demons?#Neither of them can truly get what they want. Can they? It's not how the world naturally works? Nothing lasts forever on an individual #level but at the same time... everything can't just end at once (not usually anyway...)#wanting to stay forever and wanting to escape immediately...of course it could never end well. Get me to the ending! And please don't let #this end. There's an AU somewhere in which they're almost deities and literally embody eternity and oblivion.#looks at Asriel: boy why you so Siffrin coded? ...Still can you blame him for the please don't leave me sthick Chara told him that they're #only here because they tried to erase themself from existence. It seems Chara mentions it again later.#Of course he's worried about them...''mysteriously disappearing'' or something similar. Not that I don't also understand #Chara wanting everything to end the world hadn't been kind to them so far. Plus they have a destiny don't they? They're the one from the #surface and the future of humans and monsters

i like ghostflower (hell I draw fanarts for them) but I’ve decided I like the version of them in my head more and will just stay away from the fandom in general cuz I’ve seen some discussion and they just make me go “what on earth are y’all on” 💀💀💀💀
