#big art servers scare me so probably not that

[impzone]

joining toki pona servers and getting more involved in the community was genuinely so nice and such a rewarding experience im wondering what other communities i can join next

[lukascastelan]

Ok, so this is the wall, in my bedroom which consists of many many fandoms or just topics I have grown to enjoy over time. A couple are outdated considering now, but they were pretty special to me when painting it. The wall was finished in 2023 on June 15.

Many were made by printing the logos/designs on my printer, tracing the backs really hard in a pencil, and then firmly pressing each design onto the wall so I had a stencil of what I was coloring in. Many are just designs I found on the internet at the time and others are just logos or things I thought would be a good symbol for said fixation at the time.

Did I want it to look different at the beginning? Yes, originally it was going to be the symbols or main characters in one big collage but I realized that I have zero art skills and it wouldn't ever be accomplished so I made the design more simple and now I really like how it turned out.

Do I wish a few were different now because of time or lack of interest? Yes and no. Yes, because I either don't like a certain topic at all anymore or I just could have something that I think represents me more on there but for right now I'm okay with how it is. No, because I look at this wall every day of my life, and seeing a certain square can remind me of a specific time in my life that I really enjoyed and I love that feeling.

Do I think that some of the squares are a little cringe now over time and how I have changed as a person? Absolutely but I could never ever get myself to get rid of those ones because they might be looked upon as weird or cringe now but at the time they helped me get through so many tough times that I can't get myself to get rid of those.

A few of these squares will definitely be changed but at least 97% of them I love seeing every day because of the memories and good times. I love my wall and it represents what I've liked over the years and that's okay. You should be able to like what you want without being criticized for it, hell I've debated posting this because I was scared that people were going laugh at the things on there but to be honest? Let me laugh with you as I remember how that square I cringe on now or how that square I would defend with my life. Just be you, that's all.

What are the fixations that are on the wall, and do I still want them there? I'll tell ya starting from the top right corner.

Part 1(This one), Part 2

[shuttershocky]

Thoughts on Hoederer?

Infographic from here

Now I've seen that Arknights What If Project (the hacked game that has everyone unlocked, max potential, and maxed out for testing purposes on a private server) showcase his S1M3, S2M3, and his S3M3, and I'm of the opinion that his generic powerstrike S1 is his best skill actually. His Talent 2 giving him and one other ally 18% shelter means he at least doesn't take True damage from fuckin dogs and slugs (though he will still get ripped to shreds without sustain from either his skills or a medic), while his Talent 1 makes his DPH spike even higher vs stunned or bound enemies, and he's got stuns on his S2 and S3. Pretty decent kit overall, given how godawful his archetype is.

As a note: the 18% shelter means he only takes 410 x 15 damage from Aak buffs rather than the 500 x 15 that Quartz and Wind Chimes do, which means Aak buffing him is actually viable with only a little help. This is important since if there's anything Crushers actually want (besides DEF), it's ASPD, which Aak's S3 is the biggest provider of.

Now let's go over his skillset.

S1 is probably the strongest version of a generic powerstrike type skill since Hellagur's S1. 2SP cost, 260% ATK, a very thick ATK stat to use that big multiplier, and heals 25% of Hoederer's max HP. When maxed out this thing deals 4422 damage without any buffs, and the 2 SP cost means Hoederer procs it every 3 strikes, while using Ch'en makes it go even faster.

IS players, you already know this is the new Spinach skill. With relics for increased healing effectiveness or ATK recovery SP charge, Hoederer might also actually become completely self-sufficient as a laneholder. Sure he's not going to be Mlynar, Gavial, or NTRK with that 6 hope, but IS is about having fun you know?

With its Block-3, you can think of Hoe with S2 as a very high DPH Centurion. It's really fucking slow though, his attack interval becomes 3 whole seconds to do one attack that stuns for 1 second. And since S2 doesn't have any self sustain, he's going to get babysat by a strong medic lest a particularly large stream of slugs eventually wear him down. I may be wrong here, but I like this one the least. I can definitely see use cases for it but it feels like the skill that makes Hoederer's Crusher weaknesses be at their most obvious.

S3 feels like Hypergryph duct taped 3 different popular 6 star Guards together. Apart from the giant +120% ATK, it's got +1 range extension (like Blaze), a huge Max HP buff (like Surtr), and deals minor True damage on dealing damage AND taking damage (like Mlynar), all while healing himself for 5% HP every hit and rolling a 25% chance to stun the enemy for 4 seconds (meaning the next attack will hit for 140% damage), with the drawback being that Hoederer loses 100 HP as true damage per second.

This skill also lasts for a jaw-dropping 70 seconds (one of if not /the/ longest lasting non-permanent skills) which is so long his SP cost is actually lower than its duration despite being a very large 60 SP.

I don't know what to think about this one, to be honest. It kinda reeks of desperation. They were so bamboozled by the challenge of making an actually strong Crusher that they glued different parts of actually popular guards together in order to force it to be good, and I still am not quite sure about it.

Don't get me wrong, it's numerically very good. Hoederer reaches something like 10k+ HP with this and this skill does a lot of damage (the True damage burn alone is 14k True damage over the full 70s duration), I just don't really know why I'd want to be using this skill over my many, many other options for Guards. It doesn't seem particularly fun or exciting, just big.

The most unique and useful thing I can think of where I'd use his S3 over the competition is if I'm fighting a boss that does Arts or True damage where that +60% max HP gives him a health bar that would scare even the Abyssal Hunters.

Strength wise S3M3 will probably be the way to go, but I plan on going S1M3 first instead and trying it out on IS to see how high and how often I can pump those funny red numbers.

Anything on life series Msjaor? Thougts, art, things that rattle around that need to be let otu

(Forgive the suittty spelling, it is very late in the evening for me (vurse you EST, curse you))

But pretty pleaseeeee😇

-💎

Sighhhghhhs I hate smajoorrr :/// why would you make me talk about him........,,, anyways:

I surprisingly don't have, like, that many drawing of life series Scott. I really should draw him more.

I don't love how everyone is scared to be creative w/ him and defaults to elf if not directed otherwise. I love creature boys but it's so hard for me to decide on what I want him to be. He's just like,, a little fluffy guy.. put some fluff on his ears, on his chest maybe. He has hoofs in third life like a cow, or a deer (though that's just for me because I love deer Scott so much). I genuinely don't have anything to say for last life and double life, never paid much attention to them (I hardly remember last life + didn't watch his pov, and straight up skipped double life while it happened and haven't gotten around to it yet)

Now limited life is a littleeee bit different:3 I love fishy Scott, so mannyyy ideas in my head for him. He's either a little small fish guy, or big shark (totally not inspired by a fanfic I read) or perhaps he's both and he becomes more shark-like when red. Me and Scooter (idk what else to call you lol) talked about him plenty. He's like fully fish to me, kinda bluish skin, darker blue hair,,, think that fish guy from JRWI (I don't really listen to it, but whichever character Charlie plays). He's probably smaller than normal too, like 5'6, not tiny, but Martyns a pretty big guy too so like 👀 I have my own au and stuff that's based on meangills,,, they're so silly. I do have a somewhat recent drawing of limlife Scott like how I'm describing but he has titties so maybe another time

Secret life Scott is a silly guy, and once again another chance for size differences (I don't even have to change anything,,.., it's just impulse big,,). I think he & Limlife have slightly longer hair. Secret life's is nicely curled and Limlife's is just messy. I also don't have any idea what he is,, like he's just a guy, I don't know how to creaturfy him it's strange. He's one of those guitarists who goes "just like... Play from your heart, man..." When asked for tips, he also only knows how to play riptide on his guitar. One thing I'd like to mention is that I think their entire group goes from rock to goth when red.. I wan......... I wanna see Goths, pls plsss. Get Scott out of that ugly twink translucent coat thing and put him in a denim jacket too.

His outfits probably change a little more drastically between seasons too. I think third life is mostly the same, maybe a little baggier & softer colors. Once again no thoughts on last & double life. Scott is fish and therefore doesn't wear a shirt under his jacket (so he can show off his TITTIES!!!) and thats pretty much it. Scott is a very different in secret life too because I fucking hate his outfit, he now looks like a member of the Queens, okay?

(nsfw thoughts:)

Overtime Scott definitely starts sleeping around more. He was pretty secluded w/ Jimmy during third-life, then as he was introduced to more people during the seasons, he started having a lot more courage to flirt and get with them. He's slept with like half the server, atleast. Or at the very LEAST given them a blowjob (which he's for sure good at giving). This man went from "Oooh I love my hubby" to whoreslut supreme™.

He also changes in kinks and behavior a little: he's more shy, loving, and domestic with Jimmy during third-life. Then as it moved on he gets more adventurous, stupid fish that's happy to experiment with Martyn after being paired up with girls for two seasons, especially now that he's smaller and mmfhfnfhff definitely wants Martyn to stretch him out and play with his weird ass fish genitals. I don't think I even need to explain what happened with him and Impulse, but go read "The first offer" on ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/52197727) if you want it's amazing. Scott just goes ":0 waowww another big man" & gets wrecked a lot. I can't for the life of me decide what his body is like btw, he's either skinny or chubby and it just depends on how I'm feeling that day.

Uherrmmm I think that's all

Not Me Episode 6 Music

so i'm probably not going to get totally caught up today because i'm starting to get tired and i still have my real job to do, but i'll do about 2 of these a day until i get caught up again.

when White and Sean are arguing about boundaries we see another appearance from Safeguard by Charles Holme - this could be a nod to White wanting to safeguard his friends.

Only Love Is Real - Todd Kessler

as White enters their room to find Sean sprawled on the bed this song kicks in. i'd post the lyrics but i don't know if they really have much relevance here (but it is a beautiful song)

Break Me (Kevin Faltin Remix) - Wholm, Michael Shynes, Kevin Faltin

OUGHGHGHGH. so like, for my taste in music this isn't my fave BUT the song is so good for the mood. this comes in after their big talk, Sean's in his cups and White starts getting ready for bed.

One more wine and one more whiskey We just kept the car in park And dimmed the headlights so we see the stars Let em tell us where we should start And I'm scared as hell Because there's no way to know how this goes But I can't help but say I promise to give you my all But it might break me (Break Me)

i really think this is where the boys start having some serious feelings for one another - whether they recognize they're romantic or otherwise i can't really say, and i think this is where they're beginning to trust and lean on each other a little more. the lyrics of this song are just chef's kiss. neither of them knows how this is going to go, how it might hurt them, and they're both just scared young adults trying their best.

Live Long and Prosper - Bonn Fields

as Sean argues with the police in his memories this plays. it's a haunting tune that really captures so much of what this scene is.

This is My Love - Daniel Pratt

oh holy shit. i had always wondered where this song plays and now that i know i am changed. i can never not know. oh it hurts, it's so good, it's so brilliant.

this song plays as Sean gives White the candy to replace the taste of the bitterant. we don't hear any of the lyrics but Sean's actions really replace the lyrics in their own way. (i'm having shrimp emotions @timetoboldlygo !!!) {i do think this might be a religious song btw, but we can ignore that part of the song bc i said so}

Tender and kind, built over time This is my love for you Steady and pure, patient and sure This is my love for you

BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SEAN SHOWS LOVE!! HE CARES AND HE'S KIND AND TENDER AND -- OH I'M NOT OKAY, SEAN IS SHOWING HIS LOVE

when Sean and White are arguing and Sean asks White to give him some encouragement we get another appearance from Flares by Life in Colour

Dylan Thomas/Bitter Bitter - The Duke of Norfolk

i'm coming UNGLUED IN THE SERVER. this song plays as Gram confesses to Yok that he has felt love. "You're always with Black. You don't have time for anyone else."

Heavy the rain doth pour and heavy the tongue. The light does miss the forested face. Bitter, bitter the pendulum swung Bitter, bitter the pendulum swung Open the sky for me and cut out the heart the fruit does spoil the children’s laughter Bitter, bitter the blackest of arts ‘Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright’ the sun does try despite the shadow Bitter, bitter ‘the dying of the light’ Bitter, bitter the dagger in the fight

oh i'm peeling apart at my seams. like, yes, sure, this could apply to Gram's feelings for Eugene but for it to be playing when Yok mentions Black???

the sun does try despite the shadow Bitter, bitter ‘the dying of the light’

is.. is Gram the sun? he tries despite the fact that the shadow (Black) never looks at him? he's bitter because the light, his feelings, are dying in his chest? hmm?? MAYHAPS? (im probably just seeing what i want to see but FUCK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SONG PLAY its one of my favorites)

Chaos at the Spaceship - Out of Flux

the perfect song title for the iconic scene of Yok brandishing the flares. that moment is really just one of the moments of all time in this show, an absolute favorite, and absolutely pure chaos.

I'll Understand - Roza

one of the best choices lyric wise in this entire show, in my opinion. as Sean is choking White and walks away from him (in the next episode) this song plays with it's apt lyrics.

The end of the world at the palm of my hand When it all goes to hell, will you still be my friend? My face to the sea and my back to the land If you can’t come with me I’ll understand

the pain is unending and forever. i don't think i need to even say anything about how these lyrics tie in with the scene, it's pretty clear. OUCH.

alright thats all i have in me for tonight but i love you and im smooching you all

[wuntrum]

i really REALLY want to take part in zines but i can never find any :((( how do you find zines that are open/to apply to ??

i've found them a couple different ways over the years! i know twitter sucks now but that was a big one, i feel like the search feature on there just works well for finding zines. also instagram and tumblr, i've found a few...i feel like people also promote them in some discord servers? sometimes? but idk, discord's annoying to me so i'm not the most knowledgeable about it 😭 honestly i've missed out on just as many zines as i have participated in them, so you kinda just have to go searching sometimes...also depending on like, who you follow, you can find zines that way based on what they're talking about.

you can also just, make zines by yourself! or with a small group of friends! (both in person and online). it really doesn't have to be a big ol production, in fact i'd probably recommend making it as low brow and accessible as possible, it's more fun that way. i kinda only join zines now that i either know who's running it, or know people who are going to be in the zine as well...i've heard a lot of horror stories about bigger zines just being weird to artists (or having weirdos invovled like generally). i don't say that to scare you off from wanting to participate or anything, just to prepare you! its about having fun at the end of the day, so whether its like a professionally printed art book + merch with a hundred artists, or you and a zine you photocopied yourself, fun's the most important part 👍

[doxiedreg]

Im not okay

Im not in danger, no harm will befall me and i know ill be okay eventually and all will turn out fine

But right now i can't fight it any longer

I can't keep myself strong

I have to admit I'm very not okay now and I need support and rest and won't be able to continue to spread myself thin and look after others when I'm barely able to look after myself

I'm sorry if I leave less comments, if I don't reblog posts, if I don't respond to messages or vents in my server

I still care about you my friends and mutuals and regulars

But I'm so tired..I can't look after others right now..

I'll probably be stepping back from socials for a while or at least try. I'm gonna just sleep a bunch and rest and listen to music and just not worry about art or my characters or anything

Again please do not be scared that I'll be harming myself because I promise you I won't. I just can't tough it out anymore. I need to surrender to it. Try to process my feelings..

Again I'll be okay eventually

But right now I'm very not okay

I'll be visiting my mom tomorrow and hopefully that will help me a lot

Kinda sad that the splatoon 3 special big run event will be this weekend because I don't think I'll be able to bring up the energy to play or care about it/enjoy it..

Depression never has good timing..

Anyway I'll see you guys whenever I'll see you. Might still reblog a few things but don't expect art or me being very invested in things..

For now I just need to focus on staying alive and trying my best to recover from this mental anguish..

Please stay safe for me

Big shoutout to my silly lil friends on the Persona 5 Giant/Tiny server for giving me the courage to upload these headcanons! If you like g/t I’d recommend joining :D the person who has the link is @andtheyreonfire AKA Waffle!😊

So I really liked the idea of Persona 5 G/T and I actually have a lot of headcanons for Danganronpa too! I’m gonna share the ones I have for V3 in this post as a change of pace from my art content.

(Also, none of this is canon to any story. I’m also not basing it off of canon besides their personalities so! Please keep this in mind💪)

🖤Shuichi Saihara - He could go both ways! If he was a tiny, he’d definitely be super respectful and quiet. Almost to a point where you’d get nervous if you couldn’t hear him and you’d think you accidentally stepped on him by mistake. If he was a giant, he’d take very good care of tinies. He’d even put them on his hat so they could stay with him.

🩷Kaede Akamatsu - She’d be the cutest tiny or the gentlest giant. She’s so lovable as a tiny that Shuichi constantly fawns over her whenever she does something. She has one of those mini pianos (like from Spongebob hehehe) that she plays whenever possible. As a giant, she’d protect any borrowers from whatever they needed. She’d cuddle with them too to make them feel better after a long day.

💚Rantaro Amami - He’s 100% a giant, no questions asked. He’s so friendly to tinies and he protects them from everything. If you sit on his head, his hair smells like coconut or strawberry shampoo. He’ll cook lunch and feed you by hand until you’re full. His voice is loud and deep, but it’s not scary; rather, it’s very comforting. He’s super gentle when handling you, and he seems like the type to slip you into his pocket to keep you warm. I have so much to talk about regarding giant Rantaro pls someone ask PLEASE /J

💜Kokichi Oma - A very mischievous and chaotic tiny for sure. There’s an assignment due tomorrow? You’ll wake up to find mini handprints all over your paper. You’re asleep? He’ll take the opportunity to draw on your face. Little things here and there will “vanish”. If you pick him up by the back of his shirt he’ll taunt you as you reprimand him.

🩵Tsumugi Shirogane - Could go either way! I could see her absolutely fangirling over tinies and going, “you must be a borrower like in The Secret World of Arietty!” She ADORES tinies and sews little clothes for them to wear. If she was a tiny herself, she’d probably go into dollhouses and borrow the clothes from them. Maybe she’d even modify them for herself :))

🩶Kirumi Tojo - She’d probably be either or, it really depends. She’d tidy up your room as a tiny and leave lil notes around, specifying exactly what it was she cleaned. She’d help you cook like Remy from Ratatouille by sitting on your head. If she was a giant, she’d take such good care of tinies. She’d make them feel comfortable for sure.

🧡Korekiyo Shinguji - I can’t really see him as anything other than tiny. He’ll be reading books in his lab. He’d admire his classmates from afar, envious of humanity but still liking to see their behavior. He likes to sneak up on people and listen to them to continue his research. He’s on the dining room table and salt is nearby? He’ll conduct a mini seance and scare the living daylights out of Kaito.

💖Miu Iruma - She’s definitely a tiny herself. She borrows dozens of scrap metal parts and objects to create her gadgets. Kiibo holds her up to the others so she can present her latest ideas. She flies around on her lil hovercraft around campus.

💛Angie Yonaga - Tiny lil painter in your pocket kinda person. She’ll doodle all over your hand during class for sure. She loves leaving little handprints on your papers too.

❤️Maki Harukawa - A very angry tiny with all this rage, but she can’t even reach where she’s trying to get to. She’s super skilled at parkour and navigating the giant world. She’s borrowed countless weapons like toothpicks and staples to use against others. If you pick her up, she’ll try to escape any way she can. She’ll retreat to her lil borrower home at night and go out searching for things in the morning.

💙Ryoma Hoshi - Not gonna lie, I don’t really have much for Ryoma, but I feel like he’d be a tiny. He could probably ride around on his cat across campus (granted he has the cat in the first place LMAO)

🤎Gonta Gokuhara - Pretty obvious, but definitely a giant. He’s got plenty of experience with bugs and other forest creatures to know how to properly handle tinies.

🤍Kiibo - He’d be a super awkward giant for sure, but in the cutest way possible. He’s super careful with them and always does his best to make sure tinies are ok.

💜Kaito Momota - Definitely giant, he has the energy of one. He’ll find Maki and Shuichi and take them to do training with him in his room on the desk. He often forgets to be careful with tinies and tends to grab them roughly, though he always apologizes.

💚Tenko Chabashira - A giant for sure, she loves tinies/borrowers. She’s super fond of female borrowers and has little rest stations set up in her room for them. She especially adores Himiko and gushes over her any chance she gets because of how cute she is.

❤️Himiko Yumeno - She’s probably a tiny. She’ll do little magic tricks and everyone will love them. She’s got her own custom deck of miniature cards and her little staff was created from a toothpick.

And that’s all! If people want, maybe I’ll make more :D

TWO QUESTIONS THIS TIME >:D is juno an antagonist to you, and what would his worst/best traits be?

lets see.

i dont think juno is an antagonist or a bad person, but in his session he definitely was AN antagonist, he was grim dark! and he was for most of his sburb game, until they very very end. BUT... junos kind of whatever the narrative needs him to be. i think naturally though, deep down, he really is a good person. he wants to be so badly, despite his lack of empathy, he really does care and have a lot of compassion in him. he's not apathetic towards ANYTHING, he just doesn't know how to empathize with other peoples feelings, and is only able to understand his own and assumes that others are the same as his. i think he is a good person who often does bad things. i am exaggerating his bad traits a bit, i think including the fact that his dad was abusive, and that his sister was already godtier, and that he was not in control of his body most times his boyfriend ended up dying (or that a lot of those instances were just bc me and tazz wanted to rp angst and it weasnt actually that serious) but in general all light players have this sort of "good guy bad guy" sort of thing going on, while all tryuing to do what they think is smart and right. i wouldn't call vriska an antagonist, yknow? juno doesnt do things because he thinks itll forever bhurt the person, or hope they really really do get hurt or scared (unlike jaxi, thats one of their big differences, jaxis goal IS to create harm) he bjust thinks thats how people have fun. most of his friends that i said he's stabbed as well are ALSO like that, juno has almost exclusively troll or inhuman friends who express love or excitement with violence, so its not like hes just stabbing people for fun, yk? and his boyfriends pretty much the same way, very pro violence. i dont think juno can be fit into a label like that easily. the best i can come up with is "good guy who does bad things" but not an antihero. the reverse of an antihero i think. hero who wants to do good but ends up causing more pain in the process due to lack of experience and naivity

JUNOS BEST TRAIT: he has two that are tied i think, his compassion/drive to help people in need, and his need to entertain others. i think he is a very fun person to be around as long as he doesnt get riled up too much and is quite fun to just WATCH even from a distance, and hes painfully generous. if he has something he is 100% willing to share it, or give it away in general. hes silly, he loves giving gifts, he loves making people laugh, he loves creating amazing art for people to enjoy, he loevs doing bits with people, he loves plays and theatre. hes just fun, yk? if someone is in need even if he HATES THEM SO BAD he wants to help them, the only exclusion being his dad. in the server he let harry du bois sleep in his house and gave himm food and clothes, and takes care of his pet possums because harry is too incapable and drunk to take care of himself or his pets, despite juno REALLY hating harry and harry constantly crossing his boundaries.

JUNOS WORST TRAIT: hubris hubris hubris. his hubris is THE worst one, by far. he thinks he is more aware, and much smarter than MOST people around him due to his light powers (hes not) and tends to think hes invincible because of it. this leads him to making stupid, horrible decisions, or trusting people he shouldnt, or him walking over peoples feelings and boundaries because he thinks what he needs to get across is more important. and the second one would probably be his lack of empathy yeah. btu even that wouldn't be so bad if it werent for his massive ego. he really does think he is the most important person in the world, and that he is the only one who can create good or bad in the world. due to his meta awareness he really does think hes the protagonist of any story hes in (even when he genuinely is not) and sees everything reliant on HIM and HIS decisions.

anywas i love you me when i get fun asks

[galactic-knightmare]

Just some (long) venting

So, lets start at the beginning a while ago (back in the last months of 2022 I think maybe?) I was streaming Splatoon when my capture card died. right in the middle of it. literally an hour before splatfest. It was just a cheap little $20 one, so it wasn’t that unexpected that it would die at one point, but it definitely chose one of the most inconvenient times for it. so, I started saving up muns to get it replaced- I had decided, to make sure it lasted longer this time, that I would get one of the big, expensive ones, because when it comes to tech the expensive shit tends to be more durable and last longer, and my BFF suggested the one she had gotten, so I started opening up even more different kinds of commissions. Since I didn’t have a job (I had put in an application at my brother’s work since I can’t drive and he can, but never got anything back) the only source of income I have is art coms. so now I had to save up for around $400 in computer stuff (capture card, computer monitor, new desk) which was. fine. made tons of adopts. not a single one sold. did get a massive amount of coms- that. where from a single person. and the amount of work drawing the exact same character was driving me insane, but it was fine. I also, as anyone following me probably knows, decided to stop work on my fandom stuff and focus entirely on the coms, despite very much NOT wanting to stop, as I was stuck on a Hyperfixation of that fandom. and then, a day or two (maybe three?) ago, I saw that the capture card was on sale, and I could probably get it. buying it while on sale would REALLY help me out on getting the rest of the stuff I needed. So then, I was twenty short, so my BFF swooped in like the angel (demon?) she is, and offered to help me out. so I got an art com for a new icon from her and had the muns for it! ...or so I thought. You see, my bank decided to lie to me about how much money I had, and I was around thirty short. so now I had to try and get more muns. Thankfully though, that same day, another friend (at least, I hope they think  we’re friends. their really cool...) decided to also help and commissioned me for a full-shaded pic of one of their characters, and I was able to order the capture card! ..aaand then that’s where the past three days (including today) BS comes in. I ended up getting a thought in my head- like, the usual one that ruins my thought process for a little bit and makse me scared as shit. but instead of going away somewhat easily with a simple distraction, it actually fucked me over kinda bad. my brain actually felt PHYSICALLY weird, and my breathing sped up. not hyperventalating, but it was definitely faster than normal. So I mentioned it in the vent channel of a discord server, and couple people said it sounded like a panic attack. so thats great.

My brain was still kinda messed up so my BFF offered to keep me company until it started to chill out, so we stayed up till 5 am watching vids together, and when she went to nap since she was tired, I was fine again, but I noticed that the new capture card was out for delivery, so knowing that I wouldn’t be able to wake up in time for it if I went to sleep like I was planning, I stayed up the rest of the night. and then, amazon sent an email about the ‘delivery being attempted and having to try again tommorrow’ apparently the doorbell went off according to my brother? but I didn’t hear it, even though I usually do. I was planning on waiting for it to be delivered so I could go out and get it once it was, but apparently it was one of those “you have to meet the person to get it” which Amazon did NOT mention (do they normally? idk its my first time ordering from them). So my countdown to getting the card was now just. pointless. I was angry AND sleep deprived, so I just. went to sleep cause I was too pissed (and tired) to do anything else. Cause me and said BFF from earlier were planning on testing the capture card out with some splatoon, which I was super excited to play with her again. buut we didn’t get to. so, cut to today. I wake up at 12 (pm I think?) its dark out, but I can’t get myself back to sleep so I just decide to give up and work on one of the sketches. and its just. super chill for a bit. got the tracker open in front of me while I doodle in the sketchbook, just waiting (according to it, the driver went in circles multiple times. no Idea if they were lost or not, but it was mildly amusing) and then, finally, I get my capture card. I realize that it probably won’t fit in like I thought it would, since its bigger than I thought, so I ask my brother to help, since he’s put together computers before. so we pop open the side of my computer and get it in. beeefore realizing something. it. doesn’t. fit. it fits in the computer casing perfectly fine. but the plugs for the motherboard are too small. and the ones on the card are too big. and just. the thing I spent months on. WAS FUCKING POINTLESS. so now, after looking at it, my brother states that we’ll have to make AN ENTIRELY NEW COMPUTER. Like, don’t get me wrong, I do kinda need some upgrades- this one has been giving me MASSIVE problems with Memory, and recently its been overheating and lagging BAD on minecraft of all things, so an upgrade would be nice. BUT NOT AN ENTIRELY NEW COMPUTER. I’VE ONLY HAD THIS DAMN THING FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS

so obviously, this is going to be a shitload more expensive than what was already draining my sanity.

My brother offered that I could use the parts he had gotten from a friend, since I use the computer a lot more than he does, and he can play games just fine on the old one of mine I had given him, but like. those are for Him. and he DOES need a new computer- there IS a reason I don’t use the old one anymore. and just. I feel like shit now. He’s even offering to save up some money from his adopts to help out with it. and like. He’s the best brother I could ask for but also I feel like scum of the earth for having to rely on him so much. He’s said that he doesn’t mind handling the bills since he knew it would take me a long while to get a job and all, since I’ve never had one, but I still feel horrible for it. and I feel like I’m just mooching off of him and just. really fucking hate it. I’m just. tired of feeling useless. and being useless in general.

Sorry ya’ll. just needed to vent a bit.

My friend @voidvtuber is helping me set up the server. Everyone say thank to my friend and give her a follow, she is amazing!

Her Twitter and Her Twitch

I've calmed down a bit and happy to see my pupper (my eldest dog) is doing well however still need to get her check to make sure that everything is good and it was only just a scare.

So, my idea on how to get in the server to get your art drawn or fanfic writing made (debating on this one a bit) is that you have to donate to my Kofi. Just $3. That's it. You will get a small sketch of what you want or get a small fanfic (When I say small I really mean it idk how many words but I will do my best to keep it under 600+).

If you pay more obviously you get more art or one big drawing. With writing however, I do take my time with it but I will do my best and write. Probably not for the whole time but will take breaks, I'll take the chance to say the same for one big drawing as well. Let me have my breaks since I have some hand problems!!

Thank you for understanding! If you have any questions do not be afraid to ask in my askbox!! Thank you and have a lovely day!!

[oetaboy]

There's this feeling that won't leave my brain no matter the time, and I feel nervous to talk about it even in front of my friends

And I know this feeling could just be asking them if I am a good friend, and if after time spent as friends, I am still as good as the others

But I feel like asking that blankly wont work.

Because I've been feeling down like this so much time now, and it always comes back to me feeling like I'm not as good as I try to be and that I'm left out of things. All things.

Because when I look at all my great friends, they seem to all have their fun time together, making games together, participating in testing stuff together, drawing for each other, playing games together, or even dating and meeting irl for all I know

And I know I shouldn't be jealous of this, I shouldn't be sad seeing this because it's out of anyone's control, I can't just teleport to be there in irl meetings, I can't just force myself into project they do, and I don't want to force useless to play a game I don't really like just for being included. I'm being jealous of things that are none of their fault, and even more me to blame for just, being mad at it you know.

And I still get things there and there. I'm mad at something that isn't true because for some things I'm there. Like role-playing games, or idk chatting on discord.

But it feels like more time goes on and more things get done between them, and fewer things with me. Maybe I don't have any mutual centres of interest anymore. Maybe I'm just boring to be along. Maybe being out of time zone and missing on big stuff is what happens.

But I know that if I try to ask them I will maybe get reassuring answers, because they're my friends after all. And even though we don't spend time anymore we still share smiles.

But I want to know their real feelings. And I'm scared to know them. So much to the point of making this stupid rant here.

There's a thing going around online that says something like "don't listen to your feelings after 9 pm" and maybe I should listen to that. But I have this pinched feeling for a good while now. And it haunts me more and more.

But I don't want to show up as the sad guy again, as the guy-who-has-a-breakdown again, even if I do. Again.

Maybe this is this stupid artfight that is getting too much to my mind recently.

My friends are amazing artists. They do gorgeous art, they make tons of drawings in such a small time, and they get the recognition they truly deserve during this artfight, and I love seeing that. Seeing my friends get art and push art out at the same tome is crazy.

I feel sad to not have the same results. Maybe it shows I'm not as good as them, which is probably the case. I did some art for artfight and got one from a person I know in a discord server. And it's the best thing ever and I cherish this one drawing. But I got one.

Maybe it's a bad idea to put that in. I know damn well it's like asking for free art and I shouldn't do that. Maybe I'm going nuts saying all that and it's just gonna make things worse. Being sad that I don't get art is such a horrible thing to do and I know it. I should be glad to have put these art out.

God this feeling sucks

Sorry for that rant

Had to get that out somehow

[dzpenumbra]

5/1/23

New month. Geez, this year is flying bye, huh.

I had the whole waking up every couple hours thing again, even with the earplugs which work quite well. I don't think it was nightmares either, I don't remember though. I did get back to sleep every time, so no real complaints.

I did a very long yoga routine this morning, almost 40 minutes. I was pretty proud of that. I'm actually getting in pretty good shape considering I'm not really doing any other consistent exercise other than morning yoga every day. Adding in regular skating and walking will definitely get me in good shape.

I am... however... I honestly don't even really know how to describe this... I'm having weird pains all over my body. It's been going on for a while now, but it's been getting really strong lately. That whole panic scare with the deep pain in my inner thigh was the same kind of pain... ish... and probably the most severe. Today it's been the lower back by my spine, and the outside of my hips, and my adductors in my inner thighs. And my forearm. It's muscle pain, I guarantee it. But it's not sore. Not like sore used to be. It feels like... electric, kinda, or like the feeling when someone grabs a bunch of your skin and pinches it really hard? So like, not like a sharp pinch, but like a blunt pinch. I have no idea if that makes sense. The notable part about it is how uncomfortable and intense it is.

I tried using my desk as a standing desk for a bit today and it did help, I think. I've been really afraid of being too sedentary lately, so spending half of my work day standing at my desk and dancing to 80s music helped with that.

I've been watching this big transition that's happening where a bunch of RPers are flooding over to IgniteRP, a new and kinda game-changing GTA V RP server that's set in 1985. It was created with the intention of making a very different environment than the min-maxed memey shit going on on NoPixel... It's been really good so far. Though it does have a lot of glaring problems and a lot of work left to be done.

I watched like 9 hours of it today while I worked on another abstract ink drawing. I hope to have that one finished by tomorrow night so I'll hopefully post it then.

Hearing them talk behind the scenes about what's going on with the server, it made me really want to apply myself to getting into 3D modeling. I fucked around with SketchUp like 10 years ago a bunch, like... making recreations of my apartment at the time and everything. I am very detail oriented. But again, I don't know shit about all this. But I guarantee I could learn in Blender for free. And I can cram and learn really quick. And I have an actual art background to back that up, so... doing custom graphics and shit? And applying them to 3D models? Once I get the 3D shit under my belt, I could pull that off. If I wanted. And there's good money in that. And these guys would be constantly looking for good custom shit. I just, again, have no proof of concept... and no real knowledge in the field. But it's something in great need, if I want to go that route, especially if I can give them a good deal.

I've been really tempted to get into RP. I would fucking love it, it's really good social practice and social interaction. I really enjoyed it when I was playing my character Raymond Holmes on TwitchRP. I just... well... I got a bit too emotionally attached to my first character, which I would need to work on. But the big thing is... I don't want to be loud. I don't feel like I can. I feel like I'll be whispering the whole time, and that wouldn't do my performance justice. It worked at my old house because I could be as loud as I wanted. Here? I've got lots of neighbors. Here, I feel bad if I sing at a normal speaking volume in the shower, with music playing along. Not sure how much of that is anxiety and how much is just being a good neighbor.

So yeah, that was pretty much the entire day. Watching RP, drawing, making and eating 3 baked potatoes with butter, habanero jack cheese and scallions. Drawing more. Then... here I am.

Not much else to say there. XD Still kinda riding the post-project-completion lull. Instagram was devastatingly anti-climactic. Next piece is going to be my hoodie, most likely, but I might try to polish a few of the stones from the other day first. And I also have had the impulse to go paint wooden beads again, so I might... I might throw a batch in a jar and dye them. Like 20 or 30 of them. Just so I have some with a base coat on them, then I can add ornamentation after. Aaaand there's also the skull to do, too...

I have no idea why I keep putting the hoodie off, maybe because of the "finality" of it, or maybe the visibility of it. Maybe because the rest of the back piece looks so damn good, I don't want to "ruin" it. I dunno. I kinda left off with... doing research on the zodiac constellations. I have the 12 signs plotted out and properly aligned, I have spaces that will serve as the houses, too. The signs are essentially a wide ring around the entire backpiece, and inside each wedge I wanted to put the glyph for each zodiac sign, and the actual constellation. Everything but the actual written name of the signs. Then I'm going to superimpose the planet alignments after, but I haven't even gotten that far. So... that's kinda where I am with it. So I just need to do some research on how I want to do the constellations, and then do some sketches, then... I'm guessing black out pretty much the entire zodiac ring? Or I could leave it hoodie color, because the hoodie is black? Not sure... And then I can just do the stars in white or silver. Maybe do a low-opacity glyph in the back with the constellation on top? That could be cool.

So yeah, lots of ideas, but the abstract ink shit has been calling me the strongest so I've been answering that call. It's very therapeutic, and really good hand exercise for longer drawing sessions.

I'm off to bed, we'll see what inspiration calls for tomorrow.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Hello, I would very much like a rating and ranking of Floyd Leech, the one you did for his twin, Jade, was so beautiful that I had to know what you thought of Floyd

[Referencing this brain rot post!]

when people actually like reading nonsensical brain rot................................................. OTL

Well, since you asked dbshsghwbw I’ll happily provide my thoughts! Just a disclaimer though: I probably won’t be shouting as much about Floyd as I was with Jade, since I much prefer Jade. I still enjoy Floyd a lot but I just like mature characters that hide how truly unhinged they are better.

I’m going to avoid repeating most of the general comments I had for standardized uniforms (see my original post for those) and just focus on Floyd specific aspects of the looks.

***WARNING: I do go in depth about card designs yet to be released to the TWST En server, so please be warned that there ARE spoilers beneath the cut!***

R — School Uniform

Personally, I much prefer the tidy way of wearing a school uniform *coughjwordcough*, but Floyd wears his both loose and surprisingly well. He doesn’t have his vest done all the way, his shirt isn’t tucked in, nor completely buttoned up, and his blazer’s just hanging wide open. Floyd’s pose is also very relaxed, with a hand shoved in a pocket and a big ol’ grin on his face.

Overall, it suits his personality very well! We can see Floyd’s more laidback than his twin and probably takes normal conventions with a grain of salt. He’s definitely the loose cannon between the two, and it is conveyed well in how he composes himself and how he wears his school-sanctioned clothes.

R — PE Uniform

fnksshsvshwvzks WHNEVER I SeE THIS FLoyD ART, I’m just reminded of how I’d dress for my own exercise 😂 I have a habit of tying a jacket or something around my waist, so I see myself in Floyd (or is it Floyd that I see in me?). In any case, I’m kind of biased to this card because I find myself relating to it.

Actually, you can see how nicely layered the PE uniforms can be from how Floyd is modeling it here. Obviously, there’s the tracksuit, but then there’s also the T-shirt and the undershirt. There’s slight variations of this across the other boys, but I appreciate that Floyd’s pose and colors makes it all pretty easy to see.

He’s smiling as always, but it’s a little different from his totally carefree School Uniform smile. Floyd’s expression here seems a little more smug (probably because he’s ready to lay the smackdown on you in some kind of sport or game), but it still maintains a general air of being relaxed. It strikes a nice balance between competitiveness and “I’m just here to have fun”!

One other notable feature of this artwork is???? Because of the shadowing on his shirt, you can kind of see the size/curvature of his booba 😂 I MEAN YOU GET TO SEE THE BARE BOOBA IN THIS EEL MERFORM AnYWAY, BUT IT’S NICE TO LIKE. GET THE TEASE FOR IT???????

R — Scary Outfit

I honestly wish Floyd had a more dynamic pose for his Scary Outfit (and especially since I can imagine him having tons of fun scaring people on Halloween), but I guess there are limits to what can be done for R cards 😔 His smile here is more subdued and sly (it gives very Jade vibes), which I do think is a nice change of pass from his wide, sometimes deranged-looking, smiles.

Sadly, we can’t see the cute little bone bow (which is facing away), so I’m afraid I’ll have to dock points for that... But!! I do like how he is kind of in a lax “scary” pose (mostly because it helps to showcase his laidback attitude for the story events, and it shows off his black nail polish well).

SR — Labwear

BOI.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

The best I can say for Floyd is that he’s wearing his damn safety goggles and gloves. Why is his shirt and lab coat wide open in the middle of a science lab 😭 THAT’S SUCH A MASSIVE SaFETY HAZARD; I’M GETTiNG UNCOMFORTAbLE JUST LOOKiNG At IT??????? mAyBE ITmS JUST MY iNNER AcIENTIST SCREAMINg BUT It’S SO BAD, MY guY........................

That’s not to say that the other boys don’t wear the Labwear worse than Floyd, or that I dislike the art or don’t think it fits his character (in fact, I think it fits him super well; the precarious way he’s holding the test tubes and the beaker without a care in the world is specifically great). It just bdhdbsjsbwosnd bothers me in terms of suspension of disbelief.

I think I much prefer the Groovy to the standard here, if only because the Groovy has Floyd covered in various colors and looking like a mess, which makes me excuse him not following proper lab safety. To me, it just looks like he got knocked down in a paintball fight and is really enjoying himself (and, in that context, it makes me like the Labwear a lot more). Plus... just look at that pure smile!! 🥺 A happy Floyd means one less dead body to clean up after...!

SR — Ceremonial Robes

Floyd’s pose isn’t anything special here, but I really love how the sleeves and other fabric of the robes billows out. It almost gives the illusion that Floyd is taking up more space than he actually is (and, in a sense, he kind of does with his presence and height). He looks like he’s ready to have fun greeting new guppies~ Reeling them in with a lazy grin before he sinks his teeth in...

A bonus of this Floyd art is we get a better look at the gold patterns on the robes. The other cards in this line don’t show the backs, so it helps to make Floyd stand out as the “odd duck” (which, again, really suits him), and also gives fan artists and cosplayers a decent reference for their works 😂

I also gotta say??? I find the placement of the scales on his earrings really satisfying in this art for some reason??? That’s something I really can’t explain why very well... I think maybe because they’re set in such a way that if you were to make the picture move, it would produce a satisfying clacking sound as the scales hit each other.

Okay, take what I said about his standard Ceremonial Robes art and dial it up by 10. The robes really get to shine with Floyd here. Combined with his dancing and the slight upward worm’s eye view angle, we get treated to many of the front-facing details of the outfit (the belt, the magical pen on a chain, the patterns on the underside of the robes, etc.), along with Floyd’s shining face.

SR — Outdoor Wear

Words cannot express how much I adore Floyd’s outdoor wear... The greens and blues, the dorky little eel plushie as the spiritual stand-in for Jade, the visor, the visor and T-shirt with a reference to The Little Mermaid... even the stupid fanny pack somehow works on him. It looks very breezy, easy to move in, and comfortable for camping look there’s even a little flash of his tum!!

This card does a good job of showing us Floyd’s unique sense of fashion—in theory, none of this shit thrown together would work that well, but somehow it does anyway???? He just goes with the flow and has a blast doing it. It makes me a little envious that he can dress and act so carefully, but at the same time I’m happy that he’s enjoying himself.

UM BUT SPe-AKING of WnJOyiNG HimSselF can we talk about that Groovy???? Boy looks like he’s about to commit murder in broad daylight and I am HERE FOR IT. IT’S EVE N BETTER CUz WE geT A NICE phAt JUICY BACK ShOT oF GRIMMU 😤 AnD MUShROOMS 100000000/10, would let Floyd murder me again ❤️

SSR — Dorm Uniform

Not gonna lie, this is the picture I reference when I need help understanding how the Tweels’ hair works..................  I think having Floyd remove his hat for this art is interesting? Unlike Azul and Jade, Floyd usually goes with his gut and just does whatever he likes without much thought to it, so the hat removal here is probably meant to hint that he acts as he wishes and steps out of line more often. The way he has his legs posed is also a bit more whimsical and freeing; you can even see his pant leg ride up a bit to show his socks. Visible socks aren’t really a style that’s popular, so this, again, could play into Floyd being a very unique individual that operates based on his own terms and not on what people expect of him.

Actually, something I’ve noticed about quite a few of Floyd’s uniforms is that because they’re often undone versions of the uniform, it helps give us a better sense of the details and how the different accessories and layers work. Like, Floyd has his blazer open and bowtie undone, so we can see the standard Octavinelle uniform has a cummerbund and suspenders underneath (this can also be viewed in the TWST art book, but it’s nice for people who don’t have that as a resource to see Dorm Floyd for the Octavinelle uniform reference). The freeform way of wearing his very formal dorm uniform is, of course, something that also plays into perfectly illustrating Floyd’s free-spirited personality

This shot is just kdbdjsbsjsjs so nice????? Like... because it’s from a bird’s eye view, you get a little tease of his cleavage... and because of the indoor lighting and the way it reflects off of his eyes, it makes Floyd’s irises seem brighter than they normally are. It gives him a super striking look!! That, paired with the little blep of his tongue... IT’S A KILLER COMBO 😳 AnD THIS IS COMinG FROM SoMEONE WhO SimPs FoR HIS tWIN

As for his Groovy, well. OTL Y-You probably know how I feel about fictional characters with the ability to step on me and kill me with their bare hands... hot I’m pretty sure the context for this scene is that Floyd kicked down a door, not a person, but regardless, his expression is so dark and cold 😳 that sassy hand on the hip... and the lighting just makes it all the more hot ominous................... . . . ..... ... . . . . I think the team really outdid themselves with this one!

SSR — Beans Camo

I’ll reiterate here that I think the beans camo clothes have an extremely ugly pattern, but I concede that the beret and the black jumpsuit underneath is fine; it’s just the camo itself that’s garish and hard to look at. The same goes for Floyd. In this case, him wearing the clothes more loosely (and stacking on so many beans) actually acts as a detriment to him because everything billows and can snag on branches, thus making him a bigger target in the game than he already is (not that he cares). 

ashlbflaiudaupbfoabf The dual wielding is definitely fun for Floyd, and the smaller pea shooter things look less ridiculous than Jade’s single massive one. The angle Floyd’s at is pretty dynamic, too (you get a good shot of his precious footwear lol)! It works well as an action shot with Floyd’s determined expression.

... Okay, this is the part where I rip the bandage off and say I don’t like Beans Camo Floyd’s standard art. I already have a bias against it because it’s the ugly beans camo, but even more than that, the lighting of the artwork comes off as kind of muddy to me? It might be that I’m just not used to seeing the harsh glare of sunlight on that type of clothing, but I asidasudnsad just can’t bring myself to care for it much.

I think the lighting for his Groovy is much better! Very sunny, with all those leaves draping down... It kind of gives me relaxed cottagecore vibes, and the posture doesn’t make the camo flare out too much or take up more space than is needed. It’s nice and compact! This is also a rare moment where we get to see Floyd being genuinely soft and cute (albeit not aimed at us, the player, but at Epel as Floyd talks about how great it’d be to destroy a strong opponent 🎵), so we’ve gotta enjoy it while we still can! The best part of the art is definitely how his cheek squishes when he presses his hand against it~

SSR — Birthday Boy

shbdbasyuda There’s not much for me to comment on this particular card other than??? I think they could have used something more exciting instead of the undone bowtie for one of the key items. The big ol’ shoe pin is ashdbasyudyasda so weird to look at, but it does carry that Floyd “who gives a shit” energy perfectly. The wink and the lazy hand wave are also very cute and help add to the charm of the standard art (and hey, Floyd actually decided to wear his suit kind of properly for once in a blue moon, even if the collar isn’t as high up as it should be).

His Groovy art is also a good reference for hair (I like how saturated and rich the color is under the lounge lights!), but I really don’t like the overall look and composition of the piece. Like, yes, it’s cute that he’s stealing the strawberry off of Jade’s slice of cake, but since Jade’s body is taking up the left side and Floyd is centered, the right side looks weirdly empty and throws off the balance of the entire thing. I do think negative space can be used to make a more effective composition, but in this case, I don’t think it worked. 

I don’t know if this is just me, but... This is one of those instances where Floyd’s face looks a little odd to me? I think it’s something about the mouth shape, because I still think his eyes look nice and the shape is consistent with other artworks. Maybe the mouth just looks a little too narrow or pointed because of the angle???? It’s weird, I can’t really put it into words 💦

SSR — Union Birthday

Finally, we have Union Birthday! I feel like there isn’t much for me to comment on except “it’s weird how the Union Birthday cards all have the boys wearing the clothes the exact same way”, and it really REALLY makes Floyd lose some of his individuality. I do, however, appreciate that his left hand is spread out so we can get a good look at his fingers 😩

Union Birthday’s Groovy art is, in my opinion, far superior to the standard one. Floyd is centered again, but unlike his Birthday Boy Groovy, there’s actually enough detail in the background to make the negative space not look so empty, even when Deuce takes up the left of the image. ADSUFBIAUSOVAVADS HONESTLY DEUCE’S CUTE “WOW I’M SO GLAD I’M STILL ALIVE” FACE IS HALF OF THE REASON THIS GROOVY IS SO GOOD ASDHBASDBOFIAUFLDAIBSDA AND FLOYD’S QUIETLY UNHINGED “YOU’RE LUCKY I HAVEN’T KILLED YOU YET” FACE IS THE OTHER HALF

The way Floyd’s positioned too???? It gives off a menacing aura, with his big body leaning into Deuce’s--but the expression and the light grip in the paper plate on his head give me the impression that Floyd isn’t lashing out immediately, it comes off as more of a slow and cold rage (similar to Jade’s) WHICH IS HONESTLY PROBABLY WHY I THINK IT’S SO H OT ASDJVYASVYOFIAUFLAFIKFUAILBHLKGVKUQFIYLAWUFVUEWOIUO;HGWOI;OAW;NAFLANMF.A/,C;IPA’DG;I; ANY WAY SDFHSJF ASDGUASBLD THIS IS A WAY BETTER GROOVUY THAN BIRTHDAY BOI FLOYD AND I’MS TANDING BY THAT CLAIM

TO SUMMARIZE:

Cards I like both the standard artwork AND the Groovy: Ceremonial Robes, Outdoor Wear, Dorm Uniform

Cards that hurt me on a spiritual level (but still has nice standard and Groovy artwork): Labwear Floyd

Cards I like only the standard artwork: School Uniform, PE Uniform, Birthday Boy

Cards I like only the Groovy: Beans Camo, Union Birthday

Cards I like only because it’s Floyd wearing the clothes and not someone else: Scary Outfit

more SB Pat and Paul please i beg of you

beg no more because here they are! Thank you for the request <3 I've heard Moon talk in the game while the lights are on so I like to think that Red can still talk to the others when he wants to. I'm leading up to so much Lore on what happened to Pat and Paul.

Also! I've decided to keep Vannessa and Vanny in this au, instead of replacing them. It's easier this way. Under a read more since this is longish.

Part one | Part two

__________________________________________________________

Being back in the daycare again was a dream come true. Especially since Paul thought he’d never leave that room down below. He really liked being able to move again, to bounce around with Tord. Most of all, he enjoyed getting to watch a kid again. Even if this one didn’t seem to like him very much.

It was fine. Paul knows he doesn’t look his greatest and admits that both he and Pat scared them pretty badly, so he won’t take it to heart. Yet. All bets are off if the kid still doesn’t like him after he gets patched up.

“I’m surprised they haven’t gotten bored sitting up there,” Pat says. “They’ve been in that same spot for over an hour.”

Tord frowns. “I think Red scared them,” he admits. “After I first met them and the lights went out, they were crying.”

Paul doesn’t like the look on his friend's face. Tord looks so upset and he hates it. He wraps an arm around Tord.

“Hey, don’t take it to heart. You know Red has his quirks, and with only having a single child to focus on, he probably just went a little overboard. Plus it was, what, close to one am?”

“Mm-hm,” Tord hums as he lays his head onto Paul’s shoulder.

“He was probably incredibly stressed at it being so late and having a child run around. I’m sure he didn’t mean to scare them.”

“I know, but I don’t like it when he makes kids cry. I hate how they look at me when the lights come on, crying and refusing to be near me.”

Now it’s Paul’s turn to frown. He turns his head to look down at Tord.

“What do you mean?”

“Oh! Right, you guys have been gone for quite a while. Well um.” Tord pulls away from Paul. He plops himself down on the floor next to Pat. “After you guys um, left… I was having a hard time keeping track of all the kids myself. Toddlers would book it out the daycare doors while I focused on the older kids. Older kids left or hurt each other when I focussed on toddlers. So management made adjustments to both of our systems.”

Paul joins his two friends on the floor. Sharing a look with Pat, he gestures for Tord to go on.

“Red became meaner. Harsher. Word wise, at least. He’s never hurt a child. But now he’s less likely to allow a child to play quietly during naptime or let kids stretch their legs for a moment. So sometimes when the lights come on, he’s scared kids bad enough that they’re afraid of being punished.

“And as for me, well. I get to have a security guard watch me all day!” Tord gives jazz hands and gestures towards the desk next to the big doors. “And I’m not allowed to play so many games anymore. It’s mostly arts and crafts or movie time in the child’s theater.”

“I’m sorry,” Pat says softly.

“Don’t be!” Tord laughs. “It’s not either of your faults that I couldn’t hold things together. Red and I were never made to work alone like this.”

“I’m not that mean,” Red rasps. “But he’s right. Keeping kids on their mats is so much harder without you two.”

Tord lightly smacks his throat. “Yes you are! And go back to sleep, you got to move around so much more than me last night. It’s my turn.”

A message appears on their shared server and Paul can’t help but chuckle.

📩Red: I explore outside the daycare for the two of us and this is the thanks I get. Banishment until nightfall.

📩Tord: You wouldn’t have had to leave the daycare if you didn’t scare the kid so bad! That’s on you >:(

📩Paul: When are we going to feed said kid

📩Pat: Oh no that’s right, do either of you know when the kid last ate?

Silence fills the room. Tord scrambles to his feet, rushing to the top of the play structure and scooping the kid out through the opening.

“Put me down!” the kid shrieks.

Tord’s back on the ground with a few moments, still holding the kid. “Lunch time!” he announces. He plops the kid down at a table and bounces to pick up Pat. He sets Pat down in the chair next to the kid.

Paul sits across from them, giving the kid a smile when they stare at him.

“What do you feel like eating, sunshine?”

The kid doesn’t answer. They knock over their chair in an attempt to bolt but Tord’s too fast for them.

“No no no! We can play after lunch. How about I get you some pizza? What kind do you like?”

Hesitantly, the kid gives Tord their answer. He pats their head and darts off. The kid looks like they’d rather be anywhere than here.

“Were you having fun in the play structure?” Pat asks them. “You were in there for a long time.”

Nothing.

“C’mon kid, throw us a bone here. We’ve been sleeping for over a year. We’re dying for some conversation.” Paul rests his elbows on the table, face resting on his hands, and he leans closer to them.

It seems to work since the kid opens their mouth and starts to ramble. Well, not about things that Paul wants to hear but it’s better than nothing.

“I can’t stay here! I need to leave. This place is too open, she’s going to find me!”

Paul shares another look with Pat.

“Who’s going to find you?”

“The security guard. She’s out to get me and I don’t know why. She even programmed the others to hurt me.”

If Paul had blood, he was sure it would freeze.

“What do you mean, kiddo? I’m sure the others were probably just trying to help her look for you.”

They shake their head.

“No, she screamed at Matt for not breaking my arm. And um, she seems to be working with that crazy rabbit lady with a knife.”

Alarm bells rang in Paul’s head. Bad security guard and knife lady. This was very bad. Before he could prod the kid for more information, Tord returned with a plate of pizza and a plate with fruit and veggies.

Paul would bring it up with him later then. Until then, he’d keep an eye out for any movement that wasn’t caused by any of them. He’d be a scrap of metal before he ever let someone harm a kid.
