c!dream IS jesus! have you forgotten how you crucified him in one of your fanfics? :]

How could I forget? probably one of the most unhinged things I've ever written... well okay hopscotch might be the winner there lol... but still. Definitely the most brutal thing…though perhaps the electric chair might give it a run for it's money...

And see now I can't help but share a snippet of the beginning dialogue :] (no warnings needed, this is just the diaglogue if you want to actually read, find the rest [here])

“Tommy told me something interesting, you know. He told me you called yourself a fucking god after you revived him. Do you really think you’re a god, Dream? Do you really fucking think that? Huh?” Quackity spits, gripping Dream’s chin like he’s analyzing his unmolded clay. [...]

Effectively trapped between Quackity’s body and the wall, Dream settles instead for snorting back provocatively, “Well to be fair, how many—how many people do you know can bring people back from the dead. I mean that—that’s pretty godlike I’d say… you know not that y—you’d know, obviously.” [...]

“See I’m thinking that if you claim to be a god then I should just treat you like one, right? I mean that makes sense—that’s only fair…” Quackity proposes, tantalizingly picking Dream’s wrist up and show-manly positioning it against the wall so that his arm is straight out, parallel to the floor. Satisfied with his work, Quackity tilts his head and leans in, whispering into Dream’s ear, “And do you know what they did when God came to earth to save them? Do you know what they fucking did, Dream? Do you know what they did to him—to God? Hmm?” “I don’t—I don’t know. I don’t know.” Dream answers, cold dread flooding his apprehension. “You don’t know. Huh? You don’t know? Well, how ‘bout I just show you then.” Quackity bodes nefariously while to Dream’s utter horror he slowly pulls out a large thick nail, “Want me to show you, Dream? Want me to do that? Huh?… What do you think, Dream? Would you like that? Would you like me to treat you like fucking God?” Realization quickly dawning, Dream shakily chides, trying to come across as cockily unperturbed but sounding more petrified than peeved, “Wait What?! Wait—Wait. I’m p—pretty sure you’re thinking of Jesus, Quackity. You know—and to be fair I never—I never claimed to be fucking Jesus, you idiot.” “You know what, Dream? You know what—spare me the goddamn details, Dream! I don’t really give a shit. I don’t give a fuck. At the end of the day, it’s what you fucking deserve!” Still pressing Dream’s wrist into the wall with the same hand, Quackity manages to situate the nail into the proper upright stance. Then with his other hand he tauntingly reveals his hammer causing Dream to begin frantically squirming in escape. Almost in slow motion Quackity brings it down in a strong arc as Dream pleads desperately, “Quackity!—Quackity please—stop! Stop! Please please please please please—stop. Please stop!… Oh god!—no no no no no no no—” [...]

In the end, it doesn’t matter if like God he does have unimaginable power. If he’d too defeat death and be resurrected. Because unlike any god, he’s already forgotten. Abandoned. Unwanted. Obsolete. Degraded. Annihilated from history. His flesh and blood crusted like a transcript of horrors into the crevices of an obsidian tomb. That even after the three days remains sealed. The foreboding unlocked entrance, left unopened. The mutilating marks on his pale skin, left unseen. The desolate echoes of his pained screams, left unheard. His story, left forever untold...

I suppose technically Dream lied here about not saying he's Jesus lol... and what's really interesting is Quackity was actually apart of that claim so he kinda is like Judas only in this fic more extreme as he is the one to actually crucify him...

Also my favorite fun fact, the word excruciating is originally derived from the root word meaning: 'as painful as crucifixion.'

Buddy of mine said I should share some of my pictures I took after my christmas eve snowfall we had here, so have some Canadian snow in sum sunlight XD

[painted-fanbird]

Jasmine had an ice core.

That fact took Vlad by surprise, by way of an ice encased foot trying very very hard to to connect with and break his ribs. He barely managed to twist away in time, firing a blast of ectoplasmic energy at Jasmine as he turned.

An ice core? Really? It didn’t suit her. They were for the serene and the graceful, people with personalities comparable to freshly fallen snow or frozen lake vistas. The quiet, the cold, the easily crushed.

Jasmine was many things, but serene was not one of them. Not by a long shot. She was clever, determined, ambitious. She could be described as controlled, but only when she was human. As Phantom that control slipped to reveal a… truly spirited young woman. Her personality was far more suited to an electric core, or perhaps, fire. Like his own.

That would be the single disadvantage to said lovely fire core, Vlad mused distantly as he teleported away from Jasmine, reappearing just in time to hear the tail end of her frustrated scream. He matched up much too well against ice. He wished Jasmine could have been on more equal footing against him.

~~~

As Vlad stared down at Jasmine during their next scuffle a few days later, he was keenly aware of the fact that his… concerns about Jasmine’s core had perhaps been a bit presumptuous.

She was picking herself up out of the small crater Vlad’s fiery blast had left her in, frost collecting under her palms and feet as she hauled herself upright. Vlad opened his mouth to say something snappy, only to pause as the air grew cold. The frost had spread from Jasmine’s feet, coating the entire crater in a softly glowing blanket and creeping across the ground outside of it. The wind picked up, ice and snow solidifying in a swirl, with Jasmine at its center.

A blizzard.

It was in that moment Vlad realized an ice code suited Jasmine perfectly. It was no calm and gentle thing, Jasmine had an ice core like an avalanche. A tumbling, churning wall of ice on a warpath, a raging force of nature that would not, and could not, be stopped, especially not by something as insignificant as fire.

Vlad smiled as Jasmine shot towards him. This would work out well, actually.

It is a really a cool reoccurring bit of lore for me that Elden Ring sort of reused the "conflict" between Choir and Willem's teachings from Bloodborne with Raya Lucaria's primeval current and the ideas that Carians brought!

Imposter Iosefka is the best example of the Choir's generic mindset we have, speaking about transcending the "stupidity" and forcibly turning people into cosmic Kin! More or less Sellen is a very good successor to this character, especially with the fact that Choir and ancient sorcerers (?) both have history of experimenting on children (Choir's Orphanage + little Aurelia and Aureliette being implied to have their souls cut with a glintstone blade). And in general, Raya Lucaria and Research Hall (that IS the past of what is now the Choir) are okay with experimenting!

But Willem, after all, suggested that humanity is better evolved and improved than abandoned completely, he said to possibly level with Great Ones as men! I can see this sort of parallel with Rennala and generally Carian standards being brought back; interest in the 'Moon' suggests something closer to the human plane. Like, instead of obsessing over stars and nothing but stars and sipping that cosmic horror and "returning" to them as "fallen children of the stars", it brings more attention to THE satellite that is close to humans and is less otherworldly both physically and philosophically! Both games have their academy that fell for its own hubris to propose the conflict of 'do you see humanity as useless shackle to cast away and become something bigger, or as something you should cherish but also improve and evolve with the wisdom you can get from otherworldly sources?' . And this is so cool!

Again, I guess it is the question players should answer to on their own. Both games try to nudge us to sympathize with 'humanity is not a liability' side of the question, saying that Willem was different from Choir and would be heartbroken about Mensis, and posing Carians as more sympathetic guys with showing Sellen (that speaks for primeval current) as this kinda... callous, determined woman... But you still COULD say that true discovery and knowledge demands great sacrifices and people that can't choke their human morality won't bring TRUE progress. Just... Elden Ring opened and explored the conflict way better, it is much plain to see advantages and disadvantages of both sides! It is less of intuitive speculation with subtle details than in was in Bloodborne, I am just DELIGHTED that they revisited the interesting issue in the next game. Basically nothing shows caring about the messages they want to deliver and discussions they want to raise in the fandom than "We didn't say that loud enough in the previous game, let's try again but better".

Recently, I just added Rin Nohara as a muse on my naruto blog @musesofchaos, and I knew I had to design her for the verse where she manages to just barely survive her demise. Getting stabbed by your crush, even though it was your own choice, and nearly dying would understandably mess someone up. Despite the smiles and her still kind nature, Rin's view on the world has shifted because of the incident, not to mention the overwhelming guilt she feels for inflicting such pain on Kakashi. She's scared that he hates her, resents her. That's far beyond the truth, but she doesn't know that. So for most of this new arc I'm developing for her, she's keen on staying as far away from Konoha as possible. I wanted to symbolize that change through clothing that one at first may think that Rin wouldn't have gone for. Keeping some of the colour scheme of her old outfit to show that she still has those old parts of herself left. I also admittedly just wanted to go for something different from the other older fan designs I've seen to her, which in my opinion are a little boring? Of course no offense to those artist, but I feel like a lot of people just try to incorporate her genin design into her adult design and I wanted to bring something more unique to the table. Anyway, I hope ya like her! She was a joy to draw : )

Saw this prompt for incorrect OC quotes and couldn't resist with a bunch of my Breach goobers. Some of them would absolutely say these things word for word in canon if I gave them half the chance to, though. XD

They're in order of when they showed up in person - Qīng, Ghost, Red, Marisol, Shio, Cam, Daruk, Tawoos, and Alondra - as well as some important honorable mentions who have only been mentioned or gotten dialogue - Star, Blake, and Creation.

Star's design is a slight spoiler, I suppose, but it doesn't reveal if they're human or impostor, so it's all good. Creation's "design" also isn't a spoiler at all, because They can look however They want, LOL. As for Shio...some of you who have seen the body horror I've done of them may be wondering why they look so normal here, but I promise there are Reasons. :3c

In other news, will I be making a liar out of Shio in an upcoming Breach canon divergence? ..........Maybe~ >:3c

[phoenixcatch7]

Man I am just SO CONFUSED. About the time line of this game.

No one is telling me how long links been gone! Or how long the botw-totk timeskip was! They all just started selling my stuff again lol. I'm going to have to get everything redyed!

Me: hey random stranger! Lore dump? You look like a lore dumper.

Kindly npc: why hullo there, link ^^! My, I haven't seen you in a while since the calamity ended! I was so worried when they said you and the princess had gone missing! But it's good to see you're well.

Me: aw, thanks. How long has it actually been tho.

Kindly npc: ^u^

King's Quest Fan Remakes

After talking about them a bit recently, I felt compelled to play through the old KQ fan remakes (1-3 from AGDI and 3 from IA), and I wanted to share my more in depth thoughts for anyone interested in these love letters to the original games.

King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown Remake from AGD Interactive

A lovely update to the original! While clearly the least polished of AGDI's offerings, it's nice to be able to play KQ1 with KQ5-style graphics and voice acting (the original voice of Graham, Josh Mandel, voices him in all four of the games in this post, ftr). There is an option to turn off any chance of softlocking yourself before you even start the game, which is a welcome feature. Puzzle-wise, this one stays the most faithful to the original out of the three from AGDI with a few updates here and there (like that stupid name puzzle! lol). The vocal performances and sound effects can be a bit fuzzy, but I found them enjoyable nonetheless.

Overall a solid fan remake with limited extra bells and whistles!

King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones from AGDI

Easily the most ambitious of the three from AGDI. Pretty much all of the core elements from KQ1 are further polished here - artwork, acting, music, and sound effects. The story and puzzles, however, have been changed enough that the end product is sizably different from the original. In some cases, this is fun and interesting (more lore and character interactions! new and unique puzzles!), but not everyone will enjoy all the changes. I, for example, find the underwater section kind of fun, but the new content around the count... not so much (for reasons I'll avoid due to spoilers, but know they're more mechanical than anything). There's less freedom in when you can do things, the added story making the game far more linear than it originally was. But then I'm sure many would agree that if any KQ game could do with extra content, it'd be 2, so I can't fault them swinging for the fences, even if not every hit was a home run.

All in all, this version of KQ2 doesn't really work if you're simply looking to experience the original game with updated graphics, but it's a fun playthrough nonetheless, and newcomers might enjoy the added lore/story bits. Just be aware that I could probably sum up the original game's story in about two sentences while this one would take far longer. XD

King's Quest III: To Heir is Human Redux from AGDI

If KQ1 wasn't fully polished and KQ2 was a little overworked, then KQ3 is juuuuuust right! (For anyone who knows the game, yes, this is a purposeful pun. XD) The graphics, sounds, music, vocal performances - all are the best yet (though still with some minor hiccups as any fan game is wont to have - the music was sadly cutting out during the climactic sequence for me). It even has a neat little feature where the timer changes color depending on how close you are to being zapped into oblivion that is not only useful but adds a sense of urgency in it's own way (especially if you forgot the item that makes travel a lot easier for like 2 meals I mean what lol). While it does carry over some of the story threads from AGDI's second entry, this game still works well enough on it's own, with the majority of the new content being added in naturally rather than supplanting whole sections of the original. In fact, personally speaking, I think the added content only enhances the game, your encounters with Medusa and the yeti especially getting a nice boost. And the extra lore only helps you feel for the protagonists plight all the more. The ending is a bit drawn out, perhaps, and I may not agree with the order you're supposed to choose the four items in to get the treasure (insert rant here XD), but those are minor nitpicks at best.

This is easily the best of the three, AGDI having perfected their KQ formula at this point. It works as a remake of the original while still adding in a bit of new content that doesn't feel unwelcome. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in giving the King's Quest series a try.

King's Quest III: To Heir is Human Remake from Infamous Adventures

Look. I know that it's not as impressive as AGDI's version. The time limit is laughably long, the spells are impossible to mess up, and some of the clickable areas can be a bit wonky. But I really like this version, ok?? I like the design and voice of Gwydion, I like the storybook quality that the cutscene art has, I like that it feels lonely when it should. And as much as some of the changes in AGDI's version were really nice, I like that it's basically just the original game without extra stuff added in.

This is like AGDI's KQ1 - a really solid remake of a game that gives you the feel of the original but with an updated interface and graphics. It's not as impressive as the one above, but it doesn't have to be. The original KQ3 is an awesome game, so an update of just that can't be bad. It can easily be played as a standalone game, and I will continue recommending this version 'til I die, lol.

[centipede-rain]

*Nope (movie) spoilers ahead!!!*

I will now post my rambles about the various similarities Jean-Jacket has with with the phylogenetic group of Echinodermata.

It seems obvious that Jean jacket is inspired by some kind of sea life. The very way it moves, swimming around the sky.

Many have compared its final form to jellyfish or something similar, and while I do not disagree, I would like to propose something different.

First of all, let me explain what Echinoderms are.

Echinodermata is a biological group, including starfish, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers and sea lilies.

Now to the similarities:

UFO stage:

Jean Jacket feeds 2 ways.

One: it sucks in air, along with whatever debris and/or food comes with

This is also something a lot of marine species do! It’s called filter feeding.

This feeding tactic is also what sea urchins do! They filter through the central hole:

See the similarities?

Now you might think: well, that’s not really how Jean-jacket looked.

Well, how about this?

Looks a bit closer, doesn’t it? That’s a sand dollar, although a dead one. But that’s what most people picture when they think of one.

Here another picture, for reference. As well as a very good example of Jean jacket filter feeding.

Okay, now to move on to Jean jackets other form. Wether that was supposed to be a sort of ‘evolution’, or something it did because it was angry/threatened, I don’t know.

Here it is!

Now, a different group of Echinodermata, the feather stars.

See some similarities? (Also please not how damn cool feather stars are)

Here, have another because I adore them.

But alas, I have more than mere comparison of physique!

The hunting strategy!

Of course, for marine species, it is very popular to do what Jean-jacket is doing. Floating around safely, and swooping down to the ground to devour pray, who may not get away fast enough, or be able to get away at all.

So that is not very specific for the group I am about to mention, although they sure do it.

No, what I mean is way number 2 that Jean jacket eats what it considers prey.

Sadly I am unable to find a screenshot, but in it’s final form, trying to eat the giant cowboy ballon, Jean jacket envelops it while simultaneously shoving it towards its central hole.

You know who else does that?

Fucking sea stars!

Because they have a really cool thing called a cardiac stomach.

Basically, they can eject it, and envelope larger prey, to either pull inside, or digest outside of its body cavity.

(It can also use it to slip into a crack in a imperfectly closed mussel shell, and slurp the terrified prey right out, which I must say is quite the power move)

As you might notice, most of the sea creatures I have shown you pictures of poses radial symmetry. Actually, it is penta radial symmetry, which may be hard to notice in some though.

While I cannot see any markings on Jean Jackets UFO form that could confirm or debunk the idea of penta radial symmetry, the radial symmetry part sure seems to fit.

But Charlie, you might say, the last stage of Jean Jacket seemed to have a clear front and back. Doesn’t that mean it possesses bilateral symmetry?

Yes! You are right! It seemed to have its body opening at the ‘front’

First of all, there is something about the symmetry of Echinodermata that you should know.

Yes, they are penta radially symmetric, but they haven’t always been.

They have actually secondarily lost their bilateral symmetry in the adult stage, but their larva still have it.

Meaning that it is not too far off to assume a different stage of Jean jacket might have a different symmetry as well.

But that aside, I want to show you another group, or more a specific species from that group that has some stunning similarities.

This specific deep-sea sea cucumber.

I rest my case. I think it’s clear that the creators have either knowingly or unknowingly created a lot of similarities and parallels between Jean Jacket and the Echinoderms.

As you can see I am very excited about that.
