#and three i just am not feeling it rn

[saltycharacters]

Not sure if you remember but i saw you mention in the tags or something about how you had an oc that was the child of the god of slavic fox stories n was just curious about that idea of yours

[ID: A digital, colored sketch of three humanoid figures. The far left features a young dark-skinned child with a spotted dress and hairband, meant to look like a fly agaric mushroom. She's wearing lapti, aka traditional woven russian shoes, and has mushrooms growing around her, with a baba yaga figure floating in the distance over her. In the middle is the mother, a regular human with shoulder-length kinky hair, dark skin, large glasses, and a casual librarian outfit. The last figure is stylistically blocky, featuring a light-skinned man with a somewhat traditional russian getup, boots, and a balaika slung over his shoulder. He has two fox tails and a hat resembling a fox head. End ID]

Well I wouldn't count them as ocs per say just because it's a loose idea rattling around in my brain and not solidified as a story I'd definitely want to pursue, but sure I can talk about it a bit! The idea is about story "gods" that represent a specific reoccurring idea/animal/character/etc living in a space beyond the spoken and written word, so like. There'd be a god of the big bad wolf, or cinderella, etc, although I wanted to focus on Russian fantasy so in comes the god of Russian story foxes, such as the one that stole the cheese from the crow or pursued the grapes. He represents all of the iterations of these foxes and sort of guards and guides them, but he got bored of that and started observing the real world, through windows created by open books. He then encountered a librarian whom he developed a crush on, entered the real world one day to introduce himself (super forbidden for story gods to physically manifest irl), ended up developing an actual romantic relationship with her and would be in the story world less and less. He then broke the ultimate rule and created a daughter (stories are meant to be created, not creators, and especially not something irl) but was forced to return after A) his prolonged stay in the physical world started literally disintegrating him and B) when he returned, there were active efforts to keep them there without ever contacting the outside world again. This daughter grew for a few years and long story short, discovered she could travel through books, met her dad, they had a reckless adventure bc he was so excited to spend time with her, etc etc. She appears human in the physical world, but apart from book travel, can create mushrooms under her feet bc mushrooms are very entrenched in russian culture and it's also very cute :] 

And here's a bonus drawing of the daughter and my design of baba yaga :]

[ID: A digital drawing of two figures. The one on the left is the same child as mentioned above, shying away from the looming figure before her and being the only colored thing in the drawing. The person on the right is baba yaga, designed as a hooded creature with small eyes, a sharp-toothed grin, no nose, and carrying a large sack. She's emerging from her iconic mortar, holding a broom with a handle made from birch tree. The scenery behind them consists of a pure-black forest, with white birch trees blocking the way. End ID]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

i don't know what order to start Dissecting, so i'll just start with:

it's absolutely fascinating how the dynamic Wally & Barnaby had - to my knowledge - before the update, and a dynamic i'd seen speculated elsewhere and generally accepted, has been completed turned on its head

see, given that Wally is the "main character" and Barnaby is classified as "his best friend", i got the feeling that Barnaby kind of... tags along on Wally's 'shenanigans'. that he's the sidekick, the best friend. especially since their dynamic has been previously & briefly described as "Barnaby is very polite to Wally." he's the Companion.

but the audios sorta paint a reverse picture. in the Interview, when Barnaby enters stage right, he completely bowls over Wally's introduction and dominates the interview. when the interviewer asks how the two of them are handling the fame, even outright asking Wally, Barnaby doesn't hesitate to answer the question himself, and only about himself. Wally doesn't get another word in edge-wise until the interviewer explicitly singles Wally out.

(now, an argument could be made that Barnaby knew that Wally was somewhat overwhelmed with all of the questions, and tried to take the reins to give him a reprieve. but, considering that the interview seems to be very early on the possible timeline - like, very soon after Welcome Home debuted - i don't think this is likely. i doubt Barnaby and Wally would've had the time to solidify their dynamic or really get to know each other that well yet)

and Barnaby continues to take point in pretty much all of their other conversations, too. like in the mystery Howdy/Barnaby/Wally audio, their interaction gives off the vibes that Wally is Barnaby's sidekick, his tag-along.

(on a related tangent, it's fascinating how the website described the episodes as "[beginning] with Wally introducing the focus or theme for the day before coming across other characters who would join him on his escapades until the end of the day." but from pretty much everything we've seen so far, it seems like He's the one who's just along for the ride, bouncing from neighbor shenanigan to neighbor shenanigan instead of having his own adventures.

of course, if the 14 audios are present time, which is honestly somewhat likely, this could be because the show isn't running. they aren't doing episodes - they're just existing, doing their things. no need for Wally to take point in any way shape or form. tangent over)

in the 14 audios with Barnaby, he doesn't even acknowledge Wally until the very end - which, of course, could be because that's how the scenes are set up. except that in some of them, the characters do directly acknowledge Wally's presence outside of the endings. Eddie in 5-14, Howdy and Poppy in 1-14, and Frank in 4-14 (technically, since he was infodumping to Wally at the very start before Barnaby interrupted). you'd think that a guy would try to include his best friend a little more!

maybe i'm reading into it too much. & given what we know about Wally as a character, it would make sense for Barnaby to be the go-getter Main Guy of the two. but it really seems like its Barnaby & Wally instead of Wally & Barnaby. he's just kinda... there. going along with whatever Barnaby is up to.

but also, on the other side of things - & it's occurring to me as i type this, it's interesting how in a lot of audios, Barnaby seems to seek Wally out. in "Just So", he shows up to fetch Wally. in 4-14, Barnaby interrupts Frank and Wally's gardening session, almost as if he's stopping by to check on his little buddy. in 7-14, Barnaby calls Julie's house (presumably) searching for Wally, or at least checking in once again. something to consider in all of this!

You know they have chemistry when you can't picture adueceyuu dating each other separately <<<3333

Honestly I love every variation of ship you can do with the three of them. Ace x Deuce, Deuce x Yuu, Ace x Yuu, Ace x Deuce x Yuu, platonic or romantic... it's all good to me and when I see people draw or write for it I am thankful for the food.

i need to chill tf out about this damn musical, i had an idea for a post that could be achieved in like. two screenshots and four sentences. three hours later i have a 1707 word draft, including not one, not two, but TWENTY FIVE SCREENSHOTS (not all of them being of the musical lmao). i dont even know how that happened

is that something youd even wanna see HAHA or should i break it up into chunks so that people actually read it? idk about breaking it up tho bc theyre all kinda related to the central point?? and id have to reorganise everything and idk if i have the energy for that

[moe-broey]

I def wanna color these when I have the energy BUT..... back on a Pokemon kick.... ever so slightly......... also second sketch is so rough SORRY (I DO WANNA CLEAN IT UP!!! But I was mostly focused on conceptualizing the outfits!!!!)

I have soooo many other sketches too but I wanna save em for later.... but let it be known, this is just an elaborate excuse to play dress-up. Esp for Moe I'm gonna be so real, it has SUCH A SILLY OUTFIT and it is SO. SOOOOOO jackass rival coded. Guy who is gonna pick fights and cause problems for NO reason. Or for gay reasons. Most likely gay reasons tbh

one of the best parts of stuffing in my opinion is slinking away from the table at the end of the meal to go take off your belt... and then coming back since you now have room for dessert

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

WIP Game

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs

thank you @naturecalls111 @moondal514 & @merceyca for the tags!!

fyi, i am using the titles they have in my trello board just bc using docs would mean we’d have literally six things titled Untitled document. which isn’t a problem except for the fact i will absolutely not remember which one is which. lmfao. also ftr these are not all aftg (there's at least two other fandoms in there) but also i do have more non-aftg wips they're just not on my trello board yet
