Day 25. almost free. almost done.
it is Fake Peppino Friday... but for some reason, the sound of clucking is in the distance? that's strange..... perhaps one of these little Fakelings has something to do with it.
around a nearby town, strange rumors started popping up, about an old abandoned building that had stood vacant for a good few years. but odd sounds had been heard from within, the sounds of hard work, heavy objects being moved, and inhuman, almost cluck-like cries. nobody knew what it could have been, and none were brave enough to investigate. until... one day, out of nowhere, the building appeared somehow cleaner, and a large sign had been hung out at the front, with the bright, colorful words:
CHIK'N PLACE!!!
who was the culprit? well, one step inside this newly refurbished restaurant and you will be greeted by its very enthusiastic owner...
the often-excited, very sociable Poultrino! she started off as all of the other Fakelings, a strange, gooey blob-like creature with hunger and curiosity. but soon after going out into the world on their own, she stumbled across a runaway definitely wild chicken, which she chased after with great interest and then gobbled up with glee. but, the feathery snack awakened a strange feeling in her, such a delicious taste, she wanted to share it with all the world! and thus gave rise to the fifth and final Fakeling...
and now, all customers are happily welcomed at her humble Chik'n Place! there is chicken of all kinds there; chicken wings, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, living chickens, anything you could possibly want, as long as it is chicken! (and all VERY legally obtained, she wouldn't THINK of pilfering chicken from other establishments for her own....) and not to worry, she is very polite and welcoming to anyone who wishes to visit! as long as you are not also a chicken, or a tasty bug or rat.
their appearance and body are quite unique amongst the Fakes as well! and though she is still made out of simple Goop like the others, her "skin" is fairly soft and smooth, almost feeling like soft fuzz despite having no real feathers! her legs, tail, and "fleshy" parts are the same gooeyness as standard Fake Peppino though. despite her strange appearance, most customers assume she's simply in costume, and very few are any the wiser as to their true nature.
though, one more very important fact to mention... you didn't think they worked alone, did you? of course not, all that Chicken isn't going to serve itself! which is why the first person to enter her restaurant was taken happily hired as the first employee!! say hello to Sue, Poultrino's favorite and only employee!! (credit goes to my wonderful friend @plebbicinnabun-arts for coming up with her! 😊✨)
she helps prepare and serve many of the chicken dishes! (and makes sure that the stuff that's served is actually edible when possible...) and not to worry, her boss treats her with great care! she is paid well in a salary of both "human currency" and delicious chicken-based foods! it might just be very strange trying to explain her job to friends and family.
but together, these two help run the Chik'n Place, and Poultrino finds decent success at running a business! her Papa is very proud of her.
#phew! and with that... all of the Fakelings have been introduced completely! ✨#i do hope you've enjoyed them all! they have all been very fun to make... and perhaps there will be more seen of them in the future? 👀#i am very very happy with how Poultrino's turned out as well! she's one of my favorites... and some wonderful friends have helped with that#once again thank you Plebbi for helping create Sue!! (and many wonderful Poultrino drawings as well) 😊✨❤#my art#pizza tower#pizza tower oc#fake peppino oc#october 2024#fakelings#there are quite a few more details i would've added to the post but it's already fairly long!! i can add a couple here in the tags though..#Poultrino's cry sounds like a combination of both a frog's croak and a chicken clucking! a very strange sound to hear indeed...#and they have a special way of ridding things that can't properly be absorbed inside of them! in a similar manner to owls with their pellet#-any unabsorbed contents will be expelled in a thin shell of hardened goop shaped just like a chicken's egg!#... not the way a normal chicken does of course. but every so often you might see Poultrino spit up what appears to be a normal egg.#just be wary of the contents... you'll likely just find liquidy goop and bits of bones and plastic inside. no yolks to be found here...#and one more fun fact! she loves rats just like her father! if any ever make it into the restaurant they will be rid of-#- just like a normal chicken would! it's bad for business to have rats around but at least getting rid of them is quite delicious!

trying to decorate my room in my new apartment less like the room of a little girl than previous iterations, so im trying to pair my frillier dolls with, like. antique knife and tintype of an old man. and now this shelf looks like an i spy page.
#messages from the ouija board#i love funny little bottles so much. if it isnt obvious.#i definitely was mad at myself for having so many things when i was packing to move but now that im here im like#im overjoyed to have so many little bottles and so many containers of shells i found at the beach actually#i should acquire even more. i wonder what the flea market here is like.

;; Guys! Look what I found today!! Fossils!!! My inner child who dreamed of paleontology is screaming right now!
There’s a ton of shells, and the big rounded oval spot is a clam!!
#;; out of dreams (ooc)#fossils#fossil#paleontology#shell fossils#clam fossil#this is huge for me!!#im so excited!#I know these kinds of fossils are super common#and museums get a ton of these and don’t display them#so I’m definitely keeping it#but yeah!#I never found anything with this many fossils as a kid!#maybe the occasional one or two shell imprints#but not whole shells or a whole clam!

working with children really will make you examine your thought processes and emotional reactions like nothing else. I've found myself being so much more thoughtful in my daily life about how I respond to my emotions and environment, as well as the reasoning behind why others behave the way they do
#yesterday i got really frustrated and overwhelmed at one point because this one little girl keeps getting really upset when she cant help me#like shell ask to help and i wont have a task (or ive run out bc shes already helped) shes capable of so i tell her that#and thank her for being thoughtful and helpful. admittedly the first time this happened i was really frustrated w her already#bc she had made a huge mess doing something i told her not to do and then didnt want to clean it up and she only came back#and asked to help because her friend had been helping me. so i was like girl. you didnt even clean up the last mess#but i also had nothing for her to do. anyway she started screaming and hid under a table so then her friend did it sith her just. because.#idk kids will see their friend freaking out and they do it too. and i understand it but my god. i dont deal well with really loud noise#and she did it again yesterday. i let her help me and then i ran out of tasks and she started crying and saying i never let her help#and for some reason there were like 6 other kids in there all wanting to help so then several of them started freaking out#and i could not handle it. i literally told my coworker like im about to cry right now lmao#and later the little girl was like wanting to hug me and talk to me and acting like nothing happened and i found myself wanting to withdraw#like i was feeling like i wanted to avoid her and not speak to her or be cold but i also knew i didnt want to treat her that way#and i took a couple minutes by myself and thought about why i felt that way‚ what the effects of that would be‚ and how the kid felt#and i really just had to remind myself that she was feeling just as many emotions as i was but that shes only had 6 years#to learn how to manage them and deal with them in a productive way. she wasnt trying to upset me. she wasnt trying to make me mad#she was just dealing with her emotions in the only way she knew how. and im an adult and if she can get over it i really need to get over it#long ass tag story sorry

Sometimes I legit feel like Dark Souls is what saved me lol
#by bug#but seriously it’s like I wouldn’t have met so many people I know now#I wouldn’t have found meaning in things that really brought a lot of meaning to my life#all specifically bc of fucking Dark Souls#it helped me come out of my shell more in so many ways

Various recent pictures of things
#or.. recent ISH.. this was still a few months ago lol#photo diary#EEEee... it's like over 45 minutes away from where I live but I finally found an arcade to go to that's not like entirely in the city and#is less busy. I went like the second they opened at 11:55am on a tuesday while school was still in. So there was basically no other people#there aside from like 5 staff. + wearing high quality KN95 mask and limiting my time there to under 1hr..#Also this was before the current summer covid surge happening since June in the US. so... I got to do One Single safe activity for once lol#skee ball my beloved.....#I actually don't like a lot of arcade games so I basically just spent 70% of the time doing skeeball ghjbjh#But I did weirdly like that pearl themed machine.. even though its one of those foolish games where you just drop items#and hope that they build up enough to let coins fall. like very boring not skill based or etc. But the Aesthetics of it.. I was drawn#to.. I wanted to crack the glass open and harvest the smooth white orbs from inside.. it would have been even cooler if they were#actually pearlescent in some way. but the round bubbly design and the blue and white water and shell theme entranced me#I love air hockey also but this machine was really flat and weird. like not enough air was pumping and the puck was very cheap and flimsy#An afterschool daycare place I went to once as a child had an air hockey machine that they would allow kids limited use to sometimes#and the air was always BLASTING up from the table so much that you could lay on it and it was like being hit by a slight breeze. and the#puck was very hefty and more of a satisfying clunk when you shot it around. I mastered skee ball with two arms#where I would load up a game on two machines right next to each other and throw one ball with my left hand to the left machine and one#with my right to the other and still got an okay ish score on both lol. But I do forget arcades can be very sensory overwhelming like#bright lights and noises and stuff.. walking past every blinking machine chirping at me like SHUT UP I'm trying to get to SKEE BALL#leave me ALONNEE. ghjhb... ANYWAY.. other stuff.. some images of clouds as usual.. a quaint little breakfaste#of eggs. pickled onions. grapes strawberries. and some turkey bacon. Also ofcourse Cat In Weird Position image.#he's always sitting with his legs stretched out funny#I kind of hate arcades on principle since much is a waste of money and time and many games are rigged (especially claw games) where#theres like some Illusion of Skill but so much of it is just random. I simply do not have the patience for that sort of thing. And usually#all the stuff you can win is bad anyway. BUT I also love active games.. if there was a place where I could JUST play skee ball. ddr.#air hockey. and like games where you have to aim at stuff (shooting games. wack a mole. etc.) then I would go there instead.#Active Games Only arcade. It bothers me sometimes to have to walk past all the scammy games to get to the decent ones lol..#Begone.. Out of my site at once... wretched claw machines.. and those things where you try and stop a light or whatever

#he lives on a tropical island w so many beaches and he loves bugs. that mfer would love looking for water critters with me !!!!!!#i saw a really weird one though i've literally never seen anything like it#idk how to even begin IDing it fdsjkl#it was like. tube shaped. and mottled? and was crawling along a stick with one end of the tube body#and at the other end it was somehow gripping a little plant stalk or smth#unless the plant stalk was actually part of its body. IT WAS SO WILD.#and it was like. only a centimetre long/tall. maybe 2 cms#SO FUNKY. i was fascinated fdsjkl i wish i'd been able to watch it longer#also i found some cool snail shells and a spiral cone shaped shell!! i didnt know we had spiral cones around here!!#i left all of them there ofc bc theyre good for calcium for wildlife+environment and for some critters to make homes inside of :3#dandy.cmd

my mom has been watching mha but she cant remember anyones names so every time they mention everyone she stops the show to be like "whos that one again?" and ive gotten to the point where im using bakugou tactics to keep track of people smh
#like oh theyre talking about the one with the ponytail#thats the half and half guy#endeavor is the asshole with the flames#its really annoying but im trying to focus on the humor aspect instead#she saw present mic in casual clothes and was like “is that the dj guy????”#she doesnt even remember who midoriya is i have to be like yeah theyre talking about deku#the only person she remembers is aizawa#she also keeps saying “the hawk guy” for hawks#and multiple times ive heard it as “the hot guy” and ended up trying to figure out which of these anime men my mom would consider attractive#which is not something i want to be doing but oh well#this is what i get for introducing my mom to anime i guess#although she did enjoy hxh so theres that#she also insisted that we skip the sports festival because “its just the kids fighting its not anything interesting”#and then any time its referenced she pauses it and i have to explain everything#i have explained the whole todoroki situation so many times yall#found out today that she thought todorokis scar was a birthmark#even if i explain stuff she doesnt remember if she doesnt actually watch it#oh and then shell pause the show in the middle of some big reveal and be like “what are they saying”#and i have to explain the next like five minutes of conversation in detail#like yeah youre confused because youre stopping in the middle of the conversation#this turned into a rant whoops

ANYWHO goodnight tumblr i'll be back on the art grind tomorrow i think 🙏
#haunted ecosystem#i'll take a burst of creativity in a different form than usual than the burnout slump i've been in for a few months#<- part of why my fandom stuff has taken a smidge of a backseat#dont get me wrong i am still very excited about my fandoms im just having fun off in oc hell (affectionate)#its nice to just be able to create and not really worry about perception. and also i feel Less bad about just throwing ocs into the wringer#((blame the fact i've been REALLY interested in whump recently and i have been. fixated. on one of my characters.))#and ALSO i've been! rekindling my flame for wtds. i've been putting off thinking about it since that fic got.#nothing bad happened? but it was still very devastating that somebody who i considered a friend from that fic just. evaporated.#but i'm gonna finish that fic for him :) even if it takes a year. even if it's the one thing i finish ever. it'll be wtds.#for where its gotten me and the fact its what got me out of my shell and is the reason i trust that my writing is good!#i used to really hate rereading my work. i catch flaws that are obvious to me. but that fic. i just think about how *good* the story is#that story means. a lot to me? as a person? like the main character is not a good person. but people care about him anyway.#and there are so many little things. so many sentiments. so much that is a love letter to people who've done bad but learnt to do better#because. god knows i wasnt a good person even just a few years ago. and maybe i see myself in him a bit.#he came from a place of paranoia and fear and pain. and maybe its a good thing that i've found it difficult to write him recently.#because god. i've been HAPPY. even with the rough moments and bad days. i've been happy. i mean fuck.#my birthday's what. ten days away? god damn man. i'm going to be 18. that's an achievement.#i want to look the kid who thought it was over at half my age and tell him we fucking made it. and there are more years to come.#there's a life ahead. even if it's going to be a bitch. even if it's going to be tough. there's love in your heart and people who care and#you're going to fucking live and you're going to feel better one day. you have people to meet properly and thank and cherish.#because for every day it feel like the world's ending there are a dozen more where the sun shines just the right way through the rain#and you can't help but smile because it's just so god damn beautiful.#and fuck it. you're sick. your hands hurt and your legs don't work right. and it's tough sometimes. but you have people who understand.#you have people who honest to god love you for who you are and appreciate your company. and 18 is the first step.#you've spent half your life unlearning things and you've spent half your life relearning how to be what YOU want to be#and if you're a mediocre artist and passionate writer then you'll be fucking great at that. taking the time to learn when it strikes you.#and maybe this is for me. but its also for anybody reading it too. please god if there's one thing you take from this let it be that#somebody out there cares. *I* care. god i care. even if we've never spoken proper i care about you.#i practically have a list of everybody i see in my inbox. i love seeing familiar names show up. i.#i dont know how to neatly wrap up this tag ramble. but. i am so damn full of love it hurts sometimes. its scary to be happy but thats ok!

SPOILERS for Toilers of the Sea I guess:
So the Pievre is the Durande right? The final battle of the book, between my man Gilliatt and the Pievre happens inside of a Skull-shaped cave, between two rocks right in front of an island called Man, it's not subtle.
And the Pievre is sucking him dry and slowly killing him by pulling him further until he drowns and he kills it by severing it in two, the head (the engine) and the tentacles (the hull)
The Pievre is the thing inhabiting his brain that Hugo says replaced what once used to be a beautiful goddess. So the Durande, the persistent idea of the Durande is a stand-in for his obsessive unheathy love for Deruchette (who is called that cause it's the diminutive of Durande). Like the genuine love and affection he felt made a hole in his brain and transformed itself into a horrible monster that tried to kill him.
So what I'm saying is Toilers is not just a cool adventure book about "man beat monster" it's an allegory for a man fighting his own ideia fixa, his own thoughts and his own attachment (that's how the Pievre killed Clubin, his own greed dragged him into crashing the Durande on the Douvres. Was the Pievre even real or did his belt with the money actually get stuck on a rock and killed him? Whos to say)
And in a way! The pievre is himself, and that's why the ending had to be like that, he had to cut Deruchette loose (pun intended) and kill the idea by the root.
Also the actual resolution of the book is when the priest calls the girl he was obsessed with by her full name "Durande Deruchette" because she is neither the delicate goddess she was made out to be by the men in her life, nor the monstruous creature that lived in Gilliatt's brain and was the passion of her uncle Lethierry. She is both!
And I know this book is also about his daughter and her horrible elopment with that one guy... so you see this book has layers! It's about how women are fully fledged humans! And about how when love turns into obsession it becomes a vampire octopus
#I have so many thoughts about this book#it's the kind of book that makes you go verbose#oh yeah! that's why clubin and the other guy died surrounded by the shells of empty sea creatures#it's not just that the octopus killed them#their own fixations did. they were found the exact same way

I did, she looked at me weird though. Which is fair, I make kissey noises when I want her to come to me
#her tail goes up when i do that#then shell walk up to me#and shes a tiny cat her head is like 2 in.#but she puts her entire body weight into my hand when im giving her scratches#like i move my hand and shell fall#a farmer found her in his cow field and we got her eventually#she was originally named moomoo but it got changed to ripley#because she was full of parasites#found that out because she puked on my bedroom carpet and theres was so many worms#so many worms. an unbelieve amount came out of her but shes perfectly healthy now#she does have a lifelong sinus infection (noninfectious) that makes her eyes watery and she coughs a lot#but shes fine. good enough to fling her eye juice all over my linens all the time and rub her eye juice all over my pillows and blankets#i love her though

You're more amazing than skulls
You're more amazing than a 2-for-1 special
#asks#also i beat x-5 bythos today#bythos has found yet another way to be the most frustrating neo-guilt#the core extraction wasn't actually that tough because i started using a glitch called “core warp”#basically if you touch multiple spots on the touch screen at once the core jumps to the midpoint between them instantly#which means it doesn't collide with anything in the way so you can just teleport it through most of the spores/shell fragments#BUT this STUPID FUCKING FRISBEE makes SO MANY LACERATIONS#each attack deals like 20 unpreventable damage and then also lots of damage over time from the lacerations#AND its stupid fucking INTERNAL CUT is SO ANNOYING because it deals EVEN MORE DAMAGE and takes LONGER to fix!#fortunately healing touch can get 2 free hits out of 6 and also get a full heal#but getting those 4 normal hits is so tough#you just have to hope and pray that it uses regular attacks instead of the internal cut#next up is sige which i have fought exactly one time and i remember nothing about how it went#to be fair it was the same for nous but nous actually makes sense as an enemy. it does One Thing and that's the whole fight#sige does... a lot. all the time.#also a thing that was always funny: its titles are like “the great silence” and “the dense fog of silence” because sige means silence#and then this bouncy-ball motherfucker makes noise non-stop more than any other guilt in the whole series#anyway nous is so simple that it's the next guilt i'm putting in my game#and i'll actually be able to tell players how to fight it because it does require some explanation#it's no triti but it has A Rule and if you don't know it then you Will Die#but just like in the game i'll only tell players The Rule after they fuck it up twice. give them a chance to figure it out on their own
