My DTYIS took so long, that by the time I posted it, I felt like it didn’t really fit my style or skill level anymore so I thought “why not do it again?” SO HERE WE ARE

Third times the charm✨😎

Me rambling about all the little details:

For this one took a lot of inspiration from the wrathful aspect of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Mahakala (I did a research project on him a while ago and the iconography stuck with me). He was mostly prayed to to protect troops during wars and battles so I thought it fit well with Wukong and his warform. The five jewel ornaments in Wukongs hair are reference to Mahakala’s five skulls, which also represent the five wisdom‘s. The skullcap and knife of course reference the spread of wisdom and destruction of ignorance.

For what Wukong’s outfit I thought since he doesn’t necessarily need armor, it would be fun to reference opera! I did have to change the colors tho from his opera outfit to better mesh with the color scheme.

And for the last bit- the ruyi bang. For my redesign, I included lotus buds that bloom when wukong reaches enlightenment. But I wanted to continue having the staff change with along with him- so in place of the lotus buds, I decided to put Dragon Pearl for the time spent at Ao Guangs palace. Dragon pearls are usually flaming, and that also reminds me of the Buddhist mani, wish granting jewels (which can also be flaming).

Yet another progress video on the submas Stardew Valley mod I’ve been working on with the help of the wonderful @xdoctorsparklex ! (She wrote the script and I coded it in! Thank you so much!!)

This would be their introduction event! Along with their own individual heart events, we’ll also have a main plot featuring the twins revitalizing the abandoned train station and more! ^^

EDIT: The second introduction event has been posted here!

[minionsuncle]

my take on Edward and Lydia. The graphic novels pulling me back a little wont lie …

[snowydragon10]

Right. So.

We need to Talk

I don't want any fights; I'm not here with the intention to start up fandom drama; From personal experience with a different fandom I won't elaborate on, that's the Last Thing I want to do

But

We need to address the Hall Monitoring for this Season

I understand from a vantage point that it's sometimes hard to understand the implications of a task and that CC's may interpret them in a slightly different way than intended. It's important to know when they succeed or fail a task, HOWEVER...!

We have to remember that they are also adults, that they're the ones making the entertainment here. We have to remember that the reason they're even doing this is because they want us viewers to have a good time and a good laugh. They're doing this for US

We gotta step back and remember that they are capable and can handle these kinds of situations themselves. It's not just the public stuff that we see uploaded that paints the whole picture here. They also have off camera interactions with each other during these sessions that don't come to light, and we, as the audience, have to TRUST them that they can keep themselves and each other accountable on these things.

They don't need 1K+ people daily on each life video to nitpick and/or clarify what they did differently than intended. They don't need 100+ people to say that they failed the task over and over, drowning the other 100+ comments talking about what their favorite part of the video was or how said video probably made their day. They Don't Need all of this Stress

They Don't Need Us Scrutinizing Every Move They Make In The Series

This series is amazing. The CC's are amazing. Please let's not stress them out with all of the constant nit-picking. They're people too. They have feelings as well. Let's try and remember the boundaries and respect them.

Thank you. If you read through this whole thing, at the least consider it. Also, don't yell or start fights with others doing the same thing, I'd like to keep "Start a Fandom War" uncrossed from my Life Accomplishments List/JK

The scene of Spice Up Your Life is going to live in my head rent free forever, and I am so glad villains are getting evil camp songs again in Doctor Who.

Glad to see everyone losing their minds over the tfone trailer on here because Instagram was making me lose hope.
