#bad news is i picked up this game

In a world where time is consumed like a feast at the table and gone within seconds, Vertin is the only constant.
She travels through tomorrows, yesterdays and eternities. The world bleeds time like watercolor on a canvas.
She is the ink that gives it shape.
She likes to think she has her constants. Like Regulus. She has to think that way, or time will consume her. She's not ready to lose her mind yet.
And yet as time drips through the gaps between her fingers, there is a real constant.
One with curly black hair.
She smells like oranges, smiles like she knows a secret no one else does, holds a gun like it's her only friend.
Sometimes Vertin meets her when she's just a child, running around barefoot with oranges held in her skirt. Sometimes Vertin holds her bleeding in her arms, red pulsing out of the gaping flesh pressed against her fingers. Sometimes Vertin tucks Celosia flowers into her curls and doesn't say a word as she smiles in the sun.
"Don't forget me, my Lord,"
A one sided promise.
Vertin is cursed to remember her always.
She lies in her empty suitcase, thinking of the people who try to be her constants and remembers the girl who left even though she became her only constant.
It pours. Raindrops rush towards the sky as the world smudges out of focus in a myriad of colors.
Vertin quietly watches time go from within her suitcase, a red feather in her hand.
#sunny writes#reverse 1999#bad news is i picked up this game#what in the hell#vertin and Schneider will be the death of me#I'm leaving#i can't do this#they make me so emo#vertin x schneider#schneider x vertin#verneider

trigunned the hades or hadesed the trigun (id in alt)
#trigun#trigun maximum#nicholas d wolfwood#vash the stampede#meryl stryfe#milly thompson#millions knives#ruporas art#type of shit ive been on lately bc ive been playing an obsessive amount of hades 2 lmfao… ofc imstead of drawing fansrt for hades#i channel that energy into trigun?😭 SEE.. the thing is. i am ALWAYS thinking about a trigun game… like an action story game#it is rotating in my brain 24/7 and now after 7billion years i finally pick up a video game#and the inspiration sparked. obviously this is just a mere mimic of an existing media... but im thinking about the plot of max now#executed differently between mediums… webbing a new retelling of the original story as game mechanics allows you - thinking of the#new roles the characters would take. like wolfwood here is not Constantly by vash’s side but he will show up once a run to clear out an#encounter. shows up seldomly at home base to make gifting difficult... an existing companion and still journeys on his own. for more#relations options merylmilly will also have occasions where they separate so vash can speak to them individually - the gungho are not bosse#most of them get the roles of giving “boons” i think.. BUT ANYWAY thats me reimagining trigun into hades. now imagining trigun into an#ORIGINAL video game.... ough... ohhh....guhh... I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!!!#this was just a fun exercise... im thinking about doing more but i think i shouldactually draw some hades 2 fanart first

Toph as a Goalball player 💪💚
#atla#avatar the last airbender#atla fanart#atla art#toph beifong art#toph beifong fanart#atla toph#toph beifong#toph#goalball#paralympics#paralympics 2024#atla modern au#tales from the couch#tales from the couch au#the gaang#She'd be RUTHLESS#An absolute menace#I think she'd pick up the sport as another way to show the middle finger to her parents#“Oh I'm too weak because I'm blind? Too delicate? Too easy to break? I can't do the same things any normal person can?#“Well bad news mom and dad. It's because I'm blind that I got the national team a gold medal for the first time in forever. Suck it up.”#She took up wrestling and martial arts as well. As a treat.#On the bright side for her mom Toph does pottery too!#She bonds with Zuko over art and their absolute disdain for all things high society#The Gaang go to every single game of hers to cheer for her. The bring signs even tho it's “literally a sport for blind people Twinkletoes”#In short: she's a badass in every single universe and I love her#Hashtag goals#Also yes I drew shows in the bottom pic#There's rules and my girl may be an absolute bamf but she knows when to play by them#She still trains shoeless because of course she does

I have a couple of main problems with the removal of world state interactivity in DAV and the way it's being presented.
The big one for me is the missed opportunity for what is allegedly the game's central theme: regret. You're telling me that Hawke being left in the Fade isn't weighing on Varric's conscience? Or that Morrigan might regret accepting apotheosis because to protect her son she could no longer have a relationship with him? We don't even need to find out about the outcomes of those particular choices the regret should be there regardless.
The devs acting like they're doing people a favour by not 'invalidating worldstates' is so insulting. World states become invalidated by not acknowledging them where they should logically come up. Morrigan's motherhood was a major part of her character arc. The Well of Sorrows was presented as something that will take away that which you cherish most - not only does this threat never eventuate, there's no mention of what happens to the knowledge associated either, does an Inquisitor who drank just suddenly lose that overnight? Talk about invalidating choices.
It would be one thing if the game had been in Early Access and fans demanded Morrigan get added or something, but the devs chose to include these callback characters. They're coasting off prior good will for fan favourites while effectively having them act like entirely separate people to the ones people fell in love with. Commit to the bit: either do a proper reboot so we can make up our minds about a new cast of characters or actually have returning characters mean something.
#dragon age critical#da4 spoilers#man this whole thing has left such a sour taste in my mouth#no one was forcing them to do this#i have actively advocated for clean slate games in the past#i would be interested in them in future#this weird half and half just feels bad for everyone#and i know it was done to essentially appeal to new audiences#and i hate that#in no other form of media would someone expect to pick up the fourth entry in a series and understand everything perfectly

the veilguard curse.....i just want to play older bioware games; ALSO small rant where i really started losing hope in the story
I HATE GAMES....that make you go through a dialogue tree only to leave you with only ONE option to choose. i am thinking of one conversation with solas where rook's final and only option of dialogue is "I will do whatever it takes" or whatever and UGHHHH
I HATE THAT especially when i'm trying to run a character that would NEVER say that???
ugh i love roleplay games that make you play a character you didn't at all make /sarcasm
this is just an excuse to make a post about how rambert would never "do whatever it takes", he won't lie even to save face or earn trust.
#OOC.#thinking of ME...the loyalty missions that actually had choices in them!!!! AAAAAA#datv spoilers#dav spoilers#anyway im pushing myself to finish it; and i THINK? im almost to the 3/4 or halfway point idk its hard to tell with this game#but i already am struggling to see what replay stuff i could do if i chose to go back through the game.#the only time so far a choice has felt like...impactful is the the treviso and minrathos choice and that was like 10+ hours ago for me#AND I WANT TO EXPLODE#i hate games that are like 'here's an option for what your character will say' and you pick it and its not what the option was at all (:#anyway veilguard makes me thankful for the cheaper games out there and i pray for EAs downfall#tbd#veilguard critical#dragon age critical#UGHHH i dread opening up veilguard just to finish it cause#yippe ill have one quest then get 10 new quests from my companions and do them and have shallow conversations with no effect to the story a#AAAAAAAA#i just struggle with this cause this is the first game i bought at the full $70 price#and it REALLY feels like such a waste of my money that should have been saved and spent on bills but thats on me#i shouldve vetted the game more but the combat looked fun and people were seemingly only hating on the diversity of characters#but now playing it i feel like i'm beta testing a game that'll be ready in another year#and damn is it a good game in beta! the combat isn't too bad. it removed a part of how dragon age combat used to function though so#thankfully i enjoy Mass effect's style of combat or this would be different.

MORE SETHOS!!
Mostly just practice at getting his face + hair right and trying, mostly, to draw his clothes (complicated scarf my beloathed 😤), but also featuring Sethos+Rain, my ultimate OTP! (He canonically goes umbrella-less in the rain cause it never rains in the desert, so you KNOW the first time he got caught in the rain in the jungle he was jumping and dancing around like a little kid with the biggest grin on his face 😁🥰)
(Image ID in Alt Text)
#genshin impact#sethos#sethos genshin impact#myposts#myart#istg sethos has some of the best weather voicelines in the game; his rain one is my favorite but im also quite partial to his snow line#'quick quick quick! let's pick up the pace! jogging will warm us up!! 🥶' dude is SO funny; i almost feel bad for dragging him thru the snow#....almost 😅#sorry baby boy but yan fei doesnt put out high enough numbers yet to hoof it alone as my main dps so its gotta be you#anyways#also good news guys! i figured out how to draw his clothes! ....kinda. the scarf-cape... thing is still giving me issues#and i have NO idea wtf is going on with the bottoms of his capris on. like. a structural level#but ive got his tunic down pat at this point along with his arm sleeves!#and i consider those to be the most important parts lmao (gotta show off those archer's biceps ya know?)

I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent
#I am still very into trash collecting at the moment and even went out and got one of those grabby sticks for cheap and a little#bucket I can carry around and put trash in. so I am going on walks in nature a bit more (not really to enjoy nature but more to play the#very fun Real Life Hidden Object Point And Click Game that is 'hunt for bottle caps and cans' .. but eh.. whatever gets me out of the#house lol).. anyway.. some nature places near water will have cool rocks#Which I know you're not supposed to take them and I MOSTLY dont.. but every once in a while it's like... when else will I ever find a#gouda rock... I have cleaned up 4 buckets of trash today.. I have helped the environment.. mayhaps.. i could take a One Single Rocke as a#treate... ANYWAY. but yeah. I don't know the names of rocks but there's a rock that's a matte muted marigold yellow sort of#color and I call them 'cheese rock'. I'm pretty sure this one is of the 'cheese rock' species but it just has weird brown coloration#like maybe it got stained or something on one side of it. Most of the other cheese rocks have no markings. though sometimes there will be a#auburn reddish sort of hue on a corner or something.. hrmm.. curious. I also got a Beginner's Hobby rock tumbler and some supplies#so I might try polishing some of the rocks from my enormous rock collection. even though they're all street rocks I picked up from sidewalk#and stuff. I saw a video where someone put random gravel and stuff in a rock tumbler and none of them were Stunning Gems or whatver#but some still turned out cool enough that I would be pleased with the result... OUgh.. I want to post more I need to like do costumes and#sculptures and stuff and be Active On Social Media and think about my Future and Career and how it always benefits artists to keep an#active social media or etc. but I just feel so tired and bad lately. I think the summer heat waves have really exhausted me. I also have#been trying to make new friends + on a weird schedule so I've been socializing and also watching media too much. I notice I always start#to feel this kind of unsettled stress of not making any forward progress in my life if I do that for too long. like 'Okay this week I've#done nothing but meet up with two friends & watch like 10 episodes of tv and only worked on a few projects on the side.. this is HORRIBLE!'#(ppl who follow me here that I talk to on discord: this isn't about you! Im specifically just referencing being tired of introductory talks#with a new round of random strangers during my Friend Hunt. Just clarifying so it couldn't be misinterpreted as vaguepost implying that I'm#secretly bothered by talking to you or etc. lol.. anyway) . Which I know to MOST people 'I talked to a lot of friends and watched some cool#stuff!' sounds like a GOOD relaxing time but.. to me it is not ghhj.. Those are 'external' focuses on things outside myself which bothers#me if not moderated. Like.. i MUST retreat internally to work on my worldbuilding and my own thoughts and etc. at very regular intervals or#it will really start to bear on me too much. Brain Mandated Hermit Isolation lol. Just being too detached from my world and stuff for#too long feels increasingly bad. PLUS. every day I don't make tangible progress towards my goals is a day wasted that I could have been#investing in my future by working on novels/games/sculptures/actual career relevant stuff. Not even in a Capitalism way i just genuinely#enjoy Completing Tasks & feel miserable if I don't for too long. EVEN the media I'm watching I turn into A Task since I rank in a detailed#google doc list after viewing lol.. Like EW movie too boring on it's own. NEED to turn it into something I can categorize and analyze ghghj#LOVE to make things more complicated than they need to be. like YAAAY organizational tasks! yaay meticulous sorting!! BOO ''mindless fun''!

I might not be playing it, but since @mikanashii and I are both screaming about FFXIV right now, I had a go at designing my own would-be Warrior of Light character! And here she is! Her name is Lila Dawnefyre, and although she often gets mistaken for a spellcaster because of her glasses, she is actually a paladin! A native to Ul'Dah, while she's technically a squire, she still trains under the Sultansworn, in between being an adventurer of course. She's kind, sweet and breezy in nature, but on the battlefield she is an absolute lioness and never hesitates to protect her allies, and she can and will kick your butt if she needs to.
Oh and I also ship her with Haurchefant. Because of course I do.
#final fantasy#final fantasy xiv#ffxiv#ffxiv oc#ffxiv wol#warrior of light oc#Lila Dawnefyre (ffxiv oc)#ffxiv fanart#my artwork#looking at the names of my characters it is becoming glaringly obvious I have white woman baby name syndrome#especially with the way I mixed up 'dawnfire' and spelled it 'Dawnefyre' to make it sound more fancy#but anyways#I have a new oc/canon pairing now#haurchefant/lila#be prepared#for waka/mei 2 electric boogaloo#but yeah#here you go Rii I drew her!#also another fun fact; her outfit is based on actual clothes you can put on your character in the game#Rii linked me the Eorzea Collection#and I looked at all the different glamours of other players#and of course window-shopped all the different things you can wear in the game and picked out what I liked#GAAUGHH I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH I NEED TO PLAY IT SO BAD

I acknowledge that the side quests are likely important or at least good to do to raise faction strength, but a bitch is struggling. i am but a small, easily prone to motion sickness, directionally challenged person. what do you mean the quest marker that i feel like i am directly on top of is on another level and there are no ladders? Bioware please. please don't do this to me. again. i will just stick to the main quest and the "go fight the demon or the champion in [location] quests" and get my ass handed to me if i can't figure these out and then i'll cry if i get a bad ending. because that is apparently something that is possible in this game and thus a new fear
#quilleth plays dragon age#da4#i cannot figure out this warden treasure one in rivain for the life of me#come on i'm playing a mourn watcher the least they could've done is let me talk to the ghost#and there's another one where i have the new quest here marker and i can't even get to the marker#not being able to trigger the quest requirements despite being on top of the marker was a big issue i had with inquisition ><#i don't want to not have strong factions and have my buddies die horrible deaths and also get a bad ending T_T#but also i am getting frustrated soo it's either give up and push the main quests/ those champion demon things#or not progress and thus stop enjoying the game much :/#but i can't figure out if there's a way to clear a quest from the journal without doing it once you pick it up

trying to focus on the positives. even though we didn't win we accomplished so fucking much this season. and oilers lb is as nice and as chill of a place as everyone making sappy posts about it is saying
#i might stick around despite only having been here for one game#or make a sideblog to alleviate my followers' suffering lmao#(to be clear i am not a new oilers supporter)#(i just never engaged with hockeyblr through sheer coincidence)#(and only worked up the courage to start posting about the games in the last one)#of course this means i don't know lb etiquette so who knows maybe i put several egregious feet in my mouth tonight#my bad if so#anyway lb aside. as i said in my other post. first team to do this since *1945*#and the leafs won on home ice in 42 too#this team has had such a journey this year and other than if we'd won the cup i could not be happier with how they picked themselves#back up from nothing again and again and again#edmonton oilers#hockey#og#oilers lb

low-coherency rambling in the tags
#the thing about IPL is that‚ at least as far as i see it‚ they've essentially been propagating and encouraging an auteur myth regarding him#which is nothing new or unique to them; i think that people (audiences) naturally want to ascribe some Great Man Theory to everything#it's hard to conceptualize the fact that almost anything that comes from a ''studio'' will be the product of collaboration#people naturally want to personify things and attach a human face to what they like#and studios (whether game or whatever else) will indulge this by generally seeming to pick one or maybe two people (often men)#to essentially be the main ''face'' or ''spokesperson'' for the product. it's branding.#and it has an effect even if people obviously are aware that someone isnt the ONLY person who's hands touch a work#i see it in the way people take this very personal parasocial tone in how they talk about the creators they like#which is just a subset of the problem of parasociality in general but in this case i mean how they basically put these people on a pedestal#because they seem them as singularly responsible for creating Thing They Liked because of the aforementioned spokesmanship#i've seen it in how people talk about (and talk to) j sawyer and chris avellone as if they're singularly responsible for fallout#anthony burch and borderlands 2. christian linke and arcane#robert kurvitz and disco elysium (but to be very clear im not saying that makes cutting him out of his own intellectual property acceptable#fucking i don't know.... jeff kaplan and overwatch lmao#and very much with dybowski and pathologic. like the kind of memes i saw people make about him and the personal way they'd refer to him#BUT that pretty much all stopped after 2021 or so at least in the fandom spaces i saw#because i suppose people realized that whether those rumors and allegations were true or not that they did not really know this person#no matter how much they liked ''his'' game. and that he might not be a good person at all.#which is good. i think people should take that kind of ambivalence by default instead of getting parasocially attached to anyone#especially to one lead figure out of an entire studio#and then winding up distraught and disappointed when it turns out their fave did something bad#like be distraught for victims sure. but don't tell yourself you understand this person because their fiction spoke to you#and you won't wind up feeling personally betrayed.#i'm rambling big time but basically i hope people start taking this view more#because among other things. putting these people on pedestals and singling them out as auteurs gives them social power#which allows some of them to engage in the awful behavior that leaves fans feeling betrayed in the first place#and i hope that studios and creators stop leaning into it too#if it really is true that dybowski is barely involved with the IP anymore then IPL should say that.#don't prop him up as the face just because he's the one everyone knows#maybe they think it'll get backlash if anyone but him is said to be writing the game because of how much they leaned into him as the auteur

Sable pic spam bc I'm ridiculously attached to this buggy game
#never encountered this many bugs in one place before but fuck if it doesn't make it more delightful at times#personally I think Sable and teen Aloy would get along quite well even if they had entirely different experiences growing up#actually give me canon age Sable with kid Loy meeting Guard Eliisabet#yes I'm delusional why do you ask#lou plays#Sable#Sable game#fishing msy or may not be broken for me at this point rip. the last three times I tried my game just quit reacting to inputs#couldn't even enter the menu to quit out properly#and between when I saved yesterday after playing and starting up again today it just yeeted the last bit of progress#still not sure what all I lost and if I've managed to get it all back. not sure what will happen next time I play either#if I keep losing progress it may just ruin the fun a little even if I have managed to get almost all the trophies by now#anyway. 100/10 from me even if it's borderline unplayable sometimes. the rest of the time I love it to the ends of the earth#music is great. npcs are wonderful. story and lore are dope. protagonist is a relatable kiddo who you can't help but adore#(and relate to) and the hoverbike is my new child who I will cherish forever#also: the art. but that probably goes without saying. unless you don't like this style in which case I feel bad for you#bc you're missing out#but yeah. don't play unless you don't mind bugs fucking up your progress or geometry and textures going wrong at times#still think they should be working on fixing that mess but alas.. I doubt we'll get any updates of that sort#sometimes if you play too long the audio just.. leaves. as do the pick up / dialogue prompts#sometimes they don't show up even if you have only been playing a little while#some plants have dialogue prompts except they don't do anything. the bucket side quest or whatever got scrapped#but the buckets all still have pickup prompts... anyway. it's a mess. but a lovable one

Sometimes my legs are made out of iron and stone. And I can only look as everything passes by
#the new genshin update is cool though#while I havent been able to walk a lot#I can sit and game so it's been fun#I know the whole area is supposed to be green but it gives me blue vibes#I also like Bluey#not fully done with the quest but thats my pet dog frfr#I also picked up HSR and FE3H (golden deer route)#i finally recall the joy of fishing (says the same person with over 1.2k fish caught in genshin)#anyways#im not going to be active consistently here#for a hot second it looked like I needed to be hospitalised and while its no longer that bad#there is something frighting about the way of how often and how sick i get#so they took full blood tests and ill likely jump into treatment if theyll figure out whats happenint#so nothing worrying basically#just me being activite in small burst given my strength#who even reads these tags
