Soo Emily's music video "B or C for effort" was released today and I got some Beth vibes from the video, especially when she wakes up under the tree and stuff. Maybe there's also something else I missed. Didn't really look much into the lyrics either yet.
Anyway, she literally just posted this on her IG stories and oh my!
I was initially like "wait what is NDE", so I googled it and I was like ohh, but then I was like OHHHHH. Definitely feels like she's hinting at something, who knows what that might be😂
Yeah this definitely made me 😱😱😱.
If you watch the video, it most definitely implies that the whole thing is a dream sequence. Like, she literally falls asleep at the beginning and wakes up at the end. (The TDer in me wants to compare that to her waking up at Grady, but I won't.)
So, for Emily to claim that it's a near death experience is super random.
As for the lyrics, it's mostly about a romantic relationship that didn't pan out. She basically says she hopes they both come back stronger from the heartache and that a "lesson is learned for the next one." To use one of the TWD writer's words, it sounds to me like this relationship had some sort of "underlying toxicity." That's what they said about Daryl and Leah. My point is that everything Emily says in this song could be applied to Daryl and Leah.
And I don't mean at all that she wrote it about them. Rather, I think it may be a hint that, like Daryl, when we see Beth again, she will have grown and have had relationships that turned really toxic. They both have, because obviously those weren't soulmate relationships. But now, the "next one" WILL be the soulmate relationship, because they'll find each other again.
At least that's how I've got it worked out in my TD-obsessed head and I'm sticking to it. 😉Thanks Nonny. Can't wait for tomorrow's episode of DD to drop. Xoxo! 🍁🍂💝

Anyone got a story where Amity Park becomes independent without the rest of the USA noticing until some hero stumbles upon (or crash lands in) it?
#dpxdc#dcxdp#dp x dc#danny phantom#amity park#sovereign state#like maybe they don’t live in a dome but it takes Effort to leave and so they started just doing things more locally#bonus points if#a) Tucker is still the mayor#b) Danny runs the space program and manages the town satellite they used Axiom to put up to still receive news#c) the town dismantled the GIW when they realised that the US Governmant didn’t give a shit#d) Amity Park is a safe haven for supernaturalists but it’s still Bermuda Triangle Vibes#e?) can Amity Park also develop a city spirit? I think it would be neat#f) Sam is a non binary goth#coin flip how things pan out with the Fentons and Phantom#open secret? good reveal? are they eventually like those older folks you just got to redirect because of their obsession? dealer’s choice#lol

Trying to work out the ergonomics of someone with a really long tail riding a bike without getting it sucked into the wheels and imagining someone tucking their tail into their socks
#hoofology#b/c the idea of getting a tail sucked into bike spokes makes me cringe#i imagine you either just. make a conscious effort to keep your tail raised above the back wheel#or like. wrap it around your waist/hold it in your mouth until you're off the bike

your friendly reminder ta not be an idiot during this election like the one back in 2016. if you're still thinking/spouting "i wont vote b/c both sides are bad" bs you're at best incredibly ignorant and at worst an actual fascist spreading dangerous rhetoric on purpose.
#spacie spoinks#pleaaaase dont be a fucking idiot#well off white people especially its so easy ta fall into despair b/c uh oh babies first encounter with real world oppression!#just so you know the answer is not ta lie down and not do anything as you're beat in the face its ta get up and brandish your gun#peoples lives are at stake. if you are still thinking in this way you dont care about minorities in this country.#and you cant pretend ta care either b/c if you did you would put in effort ta understand why so many minorities care about#your participation in the first place

hey i just watched andy north's patho2 mod video and i have to ask what inspired the creation of smooth grief? i need to know all about him
(also you managed to get his dialogue to match the games writing so well!)
Thank you! It's always great to see a smooth grief appreciator...
In 2020 I was playing patho2 on a bootcamped ~2014 MacBook Air which got maybe 5 FPS on a good, clear day. Naturally it had a lot of issues running the game (entering buildings took minutes of real world time in the door cutscene; I could frequently just sprint through walls before they loaded), and it sometimes used low-detail models in dialogue screens. For example, here's an andrey that scared me enough to use faceapp to put a smile on him:
This kind of thing happening in-game gave me the idea of manually blurring images of Grief's face to make him smooth, based on the assertion that Grief would have the roughest skin out of the Pathologic cast. Smooth Grief was born on June 14, 2020 with this photo:
After that, I posted Smooth Grief edits occasionally under the tag #smooth grief sunday. The well of "unique images of Bad Grief" dried up after about two years, but I'm hoping they'll return as Pathologic 3 content is released.
When I figured out how to make installable texture/dialogue edits for p2, Smooth Grief was the only thing I genuinely wanted to implement into the game, so he got his own lore-compliant mod 🙂 which you can download and install on your Pathologic 2 for the low price of 0.
#bludhale#asks#smooth grief sunday#(thursday)#pathologic#a fun fact about him: the reason Poorly Translated Pathologic 2 took more than a year to develop is I accidentally used the grief-edit#dialogue file when creating that mod and I kept putting off going back and fixing all the smooth grief-related lines. i did keep the name#'Smooth Software' in that mod b/c it was funny. smooth grief hinders all efforts

why do i have poster's disease? i wanted to write a weird little vaguely horny story that i've thought about for a long time but i did so under the pretense that it was 'just for me' and i wasn't going to post it b/c i really do not want put it up for public opinion, but then i wrote it and was like 'what if...ha ha...j/k...unless...?' Part of my problem is that i always think 'what if someone else wrote this and they wouldn't let me see it...i would be so saaaaad...' and then i feel bad for this theoretical lurker me who doesn't even write me fanfic back. Like, I read all these posts where people are like 'no one interacts with fic anymore, i'm going to stop posting my work' and i'm always like 'hmm, i understand your feelings, i have noticed the same' but it could not be me. i will keep posting my unpopular shit and feel bad when it doesn't get much in the way of kudos and have a hundred regrets and then i'll just do it again later. idc. (it's a lie, i very much do care)
#will i post it? i have not yet decided#probably yes b/c as i said: i simply love posting#unless i get so bound up in deciding whether to hide it in my anthology fic or to post it one-shot style under my smut pseud#that i manage to do neither. and let's be real: this is extremely probable#(it is not smut aside from how i felt in my heart while i was writing it)#btw any time i do get kudos on one of my Less Popular Efforts i nod my head and think 'ahhh this person has exquisite taste.'#everyone who has ever liked 'dear wormwood' is a person of culture. to me.

i've been getting ATLA video essays and stuff in my youtube feed, but i cannot take most of them seriously (or even want to watch them, tbh) because they use the AI generated pictures of the ATLA girls that pop up when you google their names. literally how hard is it to use official art or at least double check that the picture you're using doesn't have poor Yue's boobs hanging out of the front of her shirt??
#atla#princess yue#avatar the last airbender#there is that one ai image of mai that i'm so sick of because all the youtubers use it#the one where the background is the desert and her hanfu is white instead of black#easy way to immediately ruin your credibility as a video essay maker: use ai art from google in your thumbnail#i can tell that these people aren't even generating the art themselves#they're downloading it from google images 😭#which tells me that they are A) too stupid B) too uninformed or C) too lazy#to find and identify actual official art or screen caps from the series#like maybe i don't want to watch your video that you were too lazy to put effort into the thumbnail of..?#rant tw#this did end up turning into a rant so i guess i will tag it#anti ai art

What's King up to in your myosotis AU?
king actually hasn't changed a whole bunch!!! originally i considered swapping him with the collector but... i didn't really like that idea so king is still being raised by Luz! his childhood was definitely different from canon kings tho: for one Luz realized oh this is a Child and treated him as such, unlike eda who thought of him as a pet and then a ""roommate"". this does mean their dynamic is a bit different to the show, although canon eda and myosotis Luz don't take king seriously it's for different reasons. Luz is more of like oh he's just a BABY he's so young i gotta take care of him and a bit more infantalizing i guess?? where king feels like he's not being treated like the mature person he is (which like. sorry man you are 8.) it's like the relationship gets less one sided yk. does what im saying make sense. i just don't really know what ie could/should change from canon so ive kept it pretty similar bc like with Luz and eda I can mirror them but king is just. the outlier. he's just a little guy
he's a bit less dictatory/power hungry (as power hungry as an 8yr can be lmao) and a bit more chill compared to his canon counterpart. he also shares Luz's love for storytelling/reading! i think Luz would still like stories and escapism but im unsure if she would want like. fantasy even tho she lives in a fantasy world or just let regular human stuff Gus style. but king and luz both Love 2 read! this comes into play in S3 w/ collector where instead of... whatever S3 did the BI gets turned into a DnD game! bc of king. it's fun. i love rewriting S3. he's also used to being kinda independent bc sometimes luz has bad days (re: depression + bile sack exhaustion) and she just. can't get out of bed sometimes and take care of him. which is fun
im still working out what i wanna do for his backstory bc like. I Could see Luz realizing oh he's not playing pretend he actually believes this and just... Not stopping it bc she doesn't know how to handle it and it makes him happy (tying into her love of using stories as escapism). Or she could tell him and he knows he isn't actually a king of demons but Luz just refuses to share more of his backstory with him (reasons why she would do this are unclear) which causes king to take Eda + Gus (Gus takes S2 Lilith's place) to his home and then yk how the rest of the ep plays ou. the first one seems to make more sense but I'm also worried with making shit Too identical to canon yk???anyways. have some King drawing attempts
i don't talk abt myosotis king very often mainly,,, because,,,, im so bad at drawing him it's AWFUL. I struggle a lot with like. Nonhuman characters/animals those are my weakness </3 i draw out alot of myosotis stuff so like.. If I can't draw it I usually just don't do much with it?. i do have like. I have this MASSIVE timeline detailing episodes for plots and character arcs and it's a whole thing. Very large project. yeah but king actually has clothes here bc Luz is like well this is a Child i can't let him be naked. Still trying to figure out the whole putting clothes over fur thing and if that's an issue but ya whatever. im terrible at designing outfits sighh. also instead of having the collar with his dad's symbol he and eda make matching friendship bracelets! and then those come into play in S3 bc i didn't forget about that unlike the show lmao. I have a Lot Of Content going on in this au and I looooove talking about it :]
#this au is so fucking Massivr#i like playing around with it a bunch it's very fun#it's removed enough from toh canon that I can do a lot more of what I want and have fun playing in the sandbox#but i haven't touched it in a while mainly bc A. Toh hyperfixation slowly dying#B. Absolutely MASSIVE au (if I did anything with it I would want it to be a webcomic which is So Much Effort)#C. Despite this being an age swap au with eda as the main character... i have a heavy bias for the adult hexsquad#so i feel like i wouldn't be able to give the hagsquad story the proper attention and care it deserves#i do still like to play around with it though it's REALLY fun#but yeah. King and hooty are the two characters who haven't changed much from canon mainly bc idk who I'd swap them with#although i will say that instead of the owl house it's called 'the roost'#lilac post#myosotis au#toh#gonna reblog this onto my art account so that it's easier to find on there#a bunch of my art and myostis stuff is spread out on this blog and i really need to get off my ass and move it over <3#anyways thanks anon i hope this giant infodump satisfies you
