[sburbian-sage]

Given Vagabouncy is the topic of the moment, does becoming a Waste or Grace class still set up a Cataclysm for you? Is there a point where it's too late in the session for it to come up, or do you just instantly get flipped into nonsense mode? All the Quartz talk has me wanting to try assorted bullshit on the mirror. Mirrors have heart-things, right? I wanna play with its heart-thing! Damn Sylph of Law...

That is a pretty good question. The Cataclysm is, simultaneously, an inevitability that's about as game-mandated as you entering the game and discovering you're a god (and then doing sidequests), but it often isn't framed as being a game-mandated event in the same way the other things are. More like, it's the natural consequence of being a Waste or Grace, you sling too much firepower and eventually things get too hot to handle, in the same way a Page or Knight isn't brainwashed into wanting to give up fighting, but rather that the former's constant cycle of getting stronger so they can raise the stake and fight tougher battles so they can raise the stakes, and the latter's Also Doing That while simultaneously morphing into a soldier and then into a weapon, is naturally draining on one's psyche. The main difference being, Knight Syndrome doesn't kick in literally every time you roll Knight/Page, Knight Syndrome is more accurately a very specific form of depression which is hardly Class-specific, and also Knight Syndrome doesn't throw a brick at the game's internal structure and turn shit on its head.

People Vagabouncing into a Waste or Grace is pretty uncommon, as it invokes something of a "why would you make the game significantly harder for us for no reason" response from one's coplayers, and those do result in Cataclysms. But more uncommon is a late-game Vagabouncy. For the most part, people Vagabounce at the beginning of a Session because they want to try a very specific run, or they simply do not vibe with their current Title in such a way that they might actually get killed for it (and do not have the skills to Git Gud at sucking it up like the rest of us). So naturally, "Vagabouncing into a Cataclysm Class at the mid-to-late game" is so rare as to be almost unreported on. I do have two theories, one plausible and the other slightly less plausible, however hear me out for a second.

Theory 1: It's mandated. Cataclysms will happen, no matter what, it's basically just fate (not to be confused with Fate). If you kill the Black King, that damn door shows up, and you fly over to the House of Mirrors to change into a Waste or Grace, you instantly explode because the game knows it has roughly five minutes to squeeze a Cataclysm in there.

Theory 2: Cataclysms are a consequence for early power. Wastes and Graces are pound-for-pound, the strongest Classes in the game (not to be confused with the Smith, which is the most Active, and the Clown, which is not a "real" class). They're just cooking with a different kind of fuel that burns brighter. This naturally makes Wastes and Graces pretty strong, right out the gate. So whether you think it's "building up entropic force" or just a mechanic meant to "balance" it, this early power is paid for with disaster later on. However, if one were to Vagabounce in the mid-to-late game, then it's not too unbalancing to have that level of power by that point in the game (and if anything, it might be detrimental because you lose your old abilities when you reroll). And because you don't have the early-game benefit, you don't pay the cost to balance it out.

Or to put it another way, ever play Alisa? You can choose to turn auto-aim on when you start a new game, but it "balances" this by making enemies drop less currency when you kill them, because it's easier but the game wants to 1) not let you steamroll the rest of the game 2) want to subtly encourage you to build that skill. HOWEVER, you can buy an upgrade in the shop which gives you auto-aim, and it doesn't penalize you when you have it equipped. You see the analogy I'm cooking, right?

Needless to say, I think the second theory is more likely. The game does do random asspulls to contrive absurd events into happening, but the Cataclysm always felt "consequential" and not like a spiteful game master forcing rocks to fall and everyone to die. So it stands to reason that, at the very least, it needs some time for the proverbial storm to brew before zapping you with lightning. However, for every inch you give the game, it takes a mile, so watch out either way.

As for the final note, the Vagabouncy Mirror almost assuredly does have a Heart Thing, as does nearly every other entity and object in the game. Considering that this particular Mirror can change one's Title, meaning it holds some level of access to the code that handles player ID and associated mechanics, I think the Sylph of Law might have had a pretty good reason for locking that off. It's all fun and games until you make everyone suffer an identity crisis, or remove their player IDs and Doom them all without Dooming the timeline.

for jade's beta explanation it said his design was punk until it mellowed out for octavinelle, so maybe that's what actually happened to jade.

and id say likely jade would have a chance at winning strictly because floyd would likely also join in on the fight for fun.

in this video you can briefly see some beta designs. but its not the greatest view of them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWAQf-eok0&t=3s

Ok. Exclude Floyd, their abilities, and just make them fight physically. No help no nothing. Just fist fight in the back alley.

Tho then again I feel like no matter what Jade still have the better chance at combat-

But besides that, the video? Its actually pretty gud. Ngl id feel like if they kept the tweels design like that, theyd prob be a lot more intimidating. But Beta Azul lookin kinda goofy.

Oh but Malleus though— imagine evil Malleus. Im pretty sure Malleus had like a conductor like look with a conductor hat and dare I say— a whip.

And was Epel suppose to be a girl??? Idk if my eyes decieved me cuz im sure as hell that looks like a poofy dress. Was my guy crossdressing? Was NRC suppose to be a normal school???? I NEED ANSWERS-

But alot of these were just reveals to their beta designs. I find that Beta Riddle makes the most impact for me is cuz of the fact he was THIS close to becoming canon. Man I really wanna see what was Chap 1 suppose to be like before Yana decided to scrap it.

Like I need crumbs. You cant give me beta Riddle and expect me to not get invested like— skakskakskaks MMMMMMMM

So you think Heartslabyul chapter was the original Svanaclaw story? Like how Leona boutta try and break Malleus' ankles with a stampee? Instead Riddle decides to go full on anarchy for reasons unknown? Hmmmm

[queenharumiura]

👍👌 ;)

[👍👌 ask the mun what they think about portrayals/you (the sending mun)] ||Accepting|| @voraxiia

Let's see... my opinion on your muses/portrayals... can't speak on portrayals because they're all OCs, so it's not like I can judge portrayals based off accuracy by any means, but I certainly can say a thing or two about the characters themselves-- I can try to, anyways.

From recollection, the muses of yours that have appeared on my blog are: Xiao Yao, Dalbar, Miceli, and Luca in order of least interaction to the most.

Xiao Yao isn't on your current roster list, and this was like 4 years ago so unfortunately I don't really remember much about him aside from the fact that he was tall and blond so Haru mistook him for Dino from behind kekeke.

Dalbar seems to be a cute lil dude. A lil quiet, but I do have a certain soft spot for that //motions to some of her silent/less talkative muses. He gave me the feel of an obedient guard/attack dog or something. I feel like he's just someone who would grow on me because like-- he might be the same height as me, and he just seems to be a good natured lil dude. Ignore the fact he's an assassin, HE GUD BOI!

Miceli-- my immediate thought when I think about him is: GRRRRRRR what kind of evollll will he invoke on Haru this time? Is he going to be mean to her and say something sarcastic? Maybe he'll just piss her off somehow gr grrrrrrr. Of course, this isn't to mean that I dislike him, I find him fun. It's amusing having someone who irritates Haru in the Varia verse- and that's mostly anyone. Miceli is starting to grow on her though with the repeated interactions and such. He may be rude to her at times, by saying sarcastic things, but he has moments of showing some level of interest/concern for her? Though, Haru can tell that he's not really interested in her in a way that matters. She gets the feel that he has interest in the way that a scientist does when performing an experiment and something goes wrong and he goes ??? I can relate. //Sad and annoyed chemist noises. As his lil bio blurb says, he is a mysterious one, and the air of his mystery is maintained well. It's a lil harder for me to get a grasp on him as a character, and I think that's what makes it interesting and yet difficult to write with him at times, as I'm not really sure who he is to understand him kekekek. A fun puzzle!

Luca, MY SWEET BOI. WHO I BASICALLY HAVE PARTIAL CUSTODY OVER AT THIS POINT. I adore him very much. MY LIL BBUUUUU!!!! I do know that he's a pretty complex kinda guy and that he has his... issues, but he does do his best! He's been through things and I just want to give him a BIIIIIG hug! He's not allowed to get hurt! The only kinda pain I'll accept is forehead flicks and 'oh look I just killed Haru/Ravein because I wanna see the world burn!!!' 8D Alas... Blaise is a coward and won't let me hurt Haru/Ravein (1000% joking). I think i've seen him absolutely lose it maybe once or twice in the years that we've known each other and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Ehehe~ It's my secret aim to not only get to know him better through interactions/memes but to also make him snap again. I LOVE to see variation in behaviors, so making him snap is a treat. Of course, I still love gud boi Luca who is a pair with the other 'dumber' Ravein. Haru truly has so much to deal with whenever the trio gets together kekw. He is the only one aside from Tenka's Bel and my OC Ravein that Haru feels comfortable with. She's actually affectionate towards all 3 and cares for them. Anyone else, it's just Eh- you exist and I don't really care for you much. He just has the kind of personality that meshes well enough with her that it sparks her protective instinct and the doting energy that Haru has to have regardless of the verse. I love him for that.

-----------------------------------------------------------

How I feel about Blaise--

HELLO MY SWEET!

MY DARLING BLAISE!

We've known each other for years now and though interactions have been on and off during those years, we did still talk OOC quite a bit. So, I feel like, I'd be comfortable in saying yeeeee we friends outside of RPC.

Time differences are truly the bane, however. We both work, and with the field that you're in, it's understandable that you aren't always online or have the bandwidth to talk much.

STILL! The moments you are able to sit down and talk, you've always been just the sweetest lil bean.

I don't think I've ever admitted this to you before--- but better late than never AMIRITE? So we've been mutuals with each other for quite a while now even if it was rather on and off. From my recollection, we were mutuals but didn't really start interacting with eachother until a while into our friendship, likely due to schedules being really busy and what not.

It was also a time when you kept jumping from one blog to another blog so it was a lil hard to keep up with you at times. STILL, the main point is regardless of how many times you've jumped blogs (and you and I both know there's been a number of that over the years), you always did follow me consistently and that's always meant a lot to me.

I've hinted at things here and there in meme answers or conversations i've had with people but I've never actually sat down and spoke about it. I've come extremely close to quitting KHR RPC twice. The first time was when I first joined the RPC (back in like 2014-2015) and it was just... a time. I was feeling really discouraged and there were... incidents that occurred that really hurt me. I'd feel like such a waste of space, or that no one actually cared. If anyone did, it was because of the friends I had (I somehow got along with the Hibari's of the fandom lololol sigh).

Both of them aren't really online anymore but Emi/Emiko and Kiril were the two who I stuck around for. Both of them consistently stayed by my side and enjoyed writing with Haru. They both consistently wrote with me whenever they were able to and enjoyed indulging in my shenanigans. Both of them have left the KHR RPC for a while now.

I came close to leaving again like... a little bit before or at the very start of the pandemic time. We were ALL going through it, honestly. We were all struggling, but it was around that time when the KHR RPC was really really small and I'd gotten out of a really bad time with an RP group that left me with a bit of trauma that took me years to process and get over.

It was hard, because I was going through panic attacks somewhat frequently, and I would occasionally get anon hate- which obviously- isn't very conducive to me conjuring the desire to stick around.

The actual point of all this, is that you're actually one of the reasons why I stuck around. Even though you were struggling and you were having a hard time with life and feeling insecure/unwanted/unneeded/etc you were still trying. It was in a way uplifting to see the fact that you were trying hard even if things were a struggle. You would also talk to me and were in general very kind. I think around this time is where you were really jumping around blogs a lot (I think you were avoiding someone or something like that), but again you still consistently followed me on whichever blog you migrated to.

It really truly meant so much to me at the time when I was feeling so godawful. My old job really-- it was a time. I wasn't in a good place mentally and emotionally. It was you and Emi (the other Emi who is on heartsglass now) who were the reasons I stuck around the 2nd time I got REAL CLOSE to quitting RPC. It may not seem like much, but I always appreciated the fact that you both would follow me, like my OOC posts and sometimes leave replies.

It may seem like such a small and simple thing, but a lot of my OOC posts go unseen. It was quite often that I wouldn't get any likes on my OOC posts or replies. It was exceedingly rare for me to even get asks for memes. I don't think i've mentioned it really but that's the other reason why I don't like memes. Aside from the fact I have trauma associated with the inbox that i'm healing from, I have the mindset of 'no one is going to send in because I write boring responses lol why do I bother reblogging memes lolololol'

But you especially would surprise me by sheer coincidence on the days I was feeling down with a like, a reply, or a meme ask. Emi was the same. By sheer coincidence you both would be a notification on the days I'd think 'maybe I should delete because no one will notice when i'm gone'.

I've never admitted it to you both, but you both are the reasons why I stuck it through during the pandemic years when I was struggling so hard mentally. It's the small stuff that can mean the world to someone.

So whenever I'm in your replies saying that I care for you, love you, and just in general love seeing you on the dash-- EVER, I truly mean it. You're existence made a big impact on this blog by the sheer principle that you helped me have hope that I can exist on this platform and be appreciated.

This is probably the reason why I'm so attached to both Luca and Emi, because idk... I just feel like both of those OCs mean a lot to the both of you and so I just instinctively latched on. Like I imprint the love I have for the both of you onto those muses AHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAH. I'm being real sappy.

So you know, TLDR: Thank you for existing. Without your existence, I wouldn't be on tumblr today. Anyone who enjoys writing with me now has you and Emi to thank for me not quitting during the pandemic years.

Thanks for everything and I truly just love seeing you on the dash ever. It makes me so happy to see you continue to try.

happy get-back-on-my-shit day!!! the plutonian blog closed shop right before i woke up so i have no excuse. i think i’m gonna try humanizing master shake bc i don’t give the actual aqua teens wnough love. and i wanna get gud at drawimg humans

[silenthillmutual]

i really wanna play and experience pathologic BUT i am not great at video games / my enjoyment of games vastly drops with difficulty. does playing pathologic on god mode in any way decrease or fundamentally alter the experience?

in a way, yes, it does fundamentally alter the experience to play on god mode. but i think i'm maybe in the minority here when i say that it doesn't matter in the same way that playing, like, a souls game on god mode would fundamentally alter the experience of playing it. difficulty is part of the point in both, yes; pathologic 2 in particular literally applauds you for playing on the intended difficulty. but combat also isn't really the intended objective of either pathologic game. it's something you do that, to me, becomes increasingly aggravating as the games go on.

i see a lot of argument about how the game is "not even that difficult guys!" which is, in my opinion, a really rude response to have when someone says they're struggling with something. i think i've seen the Git Gud response more from other pathologic fans than i have from other bloodborne fans so far. whether pathologic is "actually" difficult or not is entirely subjective; i've met plenty of people who say they're bad at games who find pathologic a breeze. personally, i'm mediocre at games and i struggle with the combat to the point where i usually turn god mode on at some point during the game. there are workarounds to avoid catching the plague and some people manage to master the combat. good for them! but to me, the appeal of the games (and classic especially) has never been the combat, but the story.

my personal advice is to try it out as intended first. don't be seduced by urgency; see how far in the game you can get! maybe it won't be an issue for you! but if it is, god mode it.

A Nice, Relaxing Genie Massage

You really think I was going to let the concept of a geniefied version of my sona be a one off thing? Hell no, I wanna make this a proper AU of them! Especially since I’ve had a fair amount of idea’s revolving around them recently! Such as this one that I got :iconONO-FIRE: to draw for me of them getting the second best champion from Zelda Breath of the Wild as there new master. (The first best is Mipha, don’t @ me!)

It's actually kinda fitting the next thing I get involving Genie Michael after this AU’s conception is of Urbosa though considering my own actual experience with Breath of the Wild. Because Vah Naboris, the Devine Beast that Urbosa was meant to pilot before Calamity Gannon pulled a UNO reverse card on everyone, was actually the first of the four Devine Beast’s that I cleared on my first playthrough of Breath of the Wild back in 2017. Oh and for everyone saying that Thunderblight Gannon is the hardest of the four, I did this very early in my game, didn’t have the master sword and managed to beat it second try. Get gud!

Of course, this isn’t the Urbosa we all know and love. I mentioned this a while ago but one thing I do kinda wanna do with this AU, and also extend to the Naga AU of Mikaela as well, is more or less pull a Majora’s Mask where it’s sorta the same characters we know just different. Really different. For this one, Urbosa is not a champion of Hyrule but rather a brave and strong pirate sailing the seas of Termina who in search of some treasure stumbled upon Michael’s lamp. And what was her first wish? Well, it WAS going to be to wish for immortality until Michael stopped her because “Why not think about what you want, what you truly want. And, I got some suggestions as well if you’d hear them out. After all, you must be tired after going though all you did to find me. Those traps in the temple, the monsters in all the floors especially that Lynal. Why not give your body a rest? And I can give you the most relaxing massage in the world if my ‘mistress’ so wishes for it.”

And she did wish for it. Urbosa got a nice, relaxing massage that was made even better thanks to the powers Michael had. And as that massage went on it put her into an even more relaxed state. A state that made her more suggestable. And while that massage was going on soon Michael realized that granting her immortality might be a benefit. To him! So while Urbosa was in this state he planted the idea of what her remaining two wishes should be. Her original wish of immortality but also one that Michael planted, wishing to be his eternal guardian and protector to ensure the lamp and his power never fell into the wrong hands. Urbosa was no longer a pirate anymore but now the eternal guardian to the genie of the lamp.

Artist is ONO-FIRE.

[crappyusagidaily]

god the face on this looks awful...as does how I colored it. is there some kind of secret technique??? fuck I probably should've done circular motions while coloring...

hi I'm a random artist on the internet, my name is not important, just what I do. which is...every so often, post my god awful attempts at drawing Usagi Tsukino.

I wanna do the thing where you draw the same character over and over again to get better at art, so my subject is Usagi Tsukino. NOT A BOT!! JUST AN ARTIST TRYING TO FIND HER SECRET INGREDIENT. and actually git gud at art. I say artist but...don't hire me to draw for you. my art journey is a long story. i'm an artist, but more of a hobby-ist. this is how i like to have fun.

constructive criticism is okay, just don't be a dick about it.

....someone on here is bound to be encouraging to me...

STORMSHIPPING BARBIE AS RAPUNZEL?! I’M HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE TO GIVE ME PLOT DETAILS AND EVERYTHING PLEASE I HAVE MY BUCKET OF POPCORN READY AND EVERYTHING

AKSKSKS YOU GOT IT, CHAZZ!

I actually legit almost dm'd you about it the other night cuz I was actually going crazy over the idea but then I fell asleep and forgot akakskks

OKAY SO! I've actually been thinking about this for a while as a possibility because my mind runs wild with this shit as we all know all too well by now aksksk

I was actually thinking about everything I had in my pipeline because once I get finished with this 1 shot I'm doing for a fic exchange I wanna actually sit down and dedicate time to getting through Chazzerella because I meant to do it literally MONTHS ago so I could get to work on OUAD 2, and then we have Chazz Princeton and the Seven Duelists, and then I was like OH F U C K

RAPUNZEL.

MY RAPUNZEL.

BARBIE.

And now here we are akskksksks

BUT THE PLOT BRUH I'M COOKING SOME GUD SHIT IN THIS MINDROWAVE OF MINE LET ME TELL YOU

OBVIOUSLY Chazz is Rapunzel he's literally always the princess in these things who's surprised? It's more fun and it always just works out best that way plot wise. Only I am thinking about foregoing the hair maybe, I mean her hair doesn't actually really matter in Barbie Rapunzel apart from her dream where Stefan finds her and we have the whole "let down your hair" reference, and Gothel cuts it and uses her hair to trick Stefan at the ball but otherwise her hair doesn't matter or is really called attention to. BUT I'm still in the early planning stages so I mean maybe I'll change my mind 🤷‍♀️

But my initial thought is that we begin similar to OUAD, Slade and Jagger would be the villains obviously. Exiled from the kingdom for being just bad people, they resent their parents and when they have Chazz so they'll still have an heir, they kidnap Chazz as a baby and spirit him away deep into the darkest forest of the neighboring kingdom far of their parents' reach out of their hatred and resentment. But in the Barbie fashion, they frame the king of their neighboring kingdom, Atticus and Alexis's father, for the crime with a desire to sow seeds of discord so that both kingdoms will destroy each other. Then they can swoop in and rule all the lands themselves.

I also had an idea to try and differentiate from OUAD, they had already grown resentful and spiteful of their parents and were sowing seeds of discord between the kingdoms, and eventually at some point they like, fake their deaths so they could work behind the scenes and to cover their tracks. So then when their parents have Chazz to reinstate the line of succession and they kidnap him, it's even easier to frame the crime on Atticus and Alexis's father and keep him hidden because who would suspect them? They're dead as far as everyone knows, they can very easily hide and keep him and his whereabouts concealed. And obviously since Gothel is a mage in Barbie, at the very least Slade will have magic powers because I mean come on. He's the main bad guy here.

But regardless of how we get to that point, they raise Chazz and keep him under lock and key in their secluded home hidden and concealed deep in the forest where no one would dare to look, forbidding him from ever leaving the old manor under the guise of keeping him safe from the outside world, not that they haven't still been abusing him all this time themselves also Barbie Rapunzel really is Rapunzel and Cinderella at the same time in a way and that makes so much sense for them 🙄 when really they're just waiting for the two kingdoms to destroy each other. That way they can swoop in and rebuild their own kingdom on the ashes of the old one with no one to stop them, and Chazz will stay their prisoner. But unlike like every version of Gothel they cover their tracks by telling him that their parents died when he was a baby.

Which brings me to a question I have yet to figure out, the equivalent of the hairbrush/paintbrush 🤔

And the Ojama spirits are there to bug him with their love. Obviously.

B U T Chazz has been trying to find a way to escape from his brothers for a while because shocker, they've been abusing him and um, they're terrible. But he knows if he simply tried to run away they would find him and he'd never be able to get away, so he's gotta be careful. And one day he stumbles upon a 🎵 secret tunnel 🎵 in the basement and finds himself on the outskirts of the kingdom. But not without making the Ojamas stay back to watch for his brothers. He wanders into the village and after exploring around, he runs into Alexis. I'm not exactly sure what happens but they run into some sort of trouble and while trying to help Alexis, though he quickly discovers she's more than capable of handling herself just fine, Atticus swoops in having come upon the scene and saves Chazz leaving him all 😳😍😳

Alexis leaves eventually leaving Chazz and Atty alone to talk. But they don't get far enough into the conversation to make introductions before Atticus is drawn away momentarily but not before telling Chazz to wait for him there. Which he intends to, but the chime of evening bells and a sinking feeling in his stomach tells him he needs to get back before his brothers discover he's gone. If he wants to escape for real he'll need to be more careful than this. As much as he hates it, he needs to go back for now. He'll just have to hide the tunnel again and try again another time when his brothers wouldn't suspect a thing.

Chazz hurries back before Atticus can return, creating a mystery for the prince to solve.

Honestly I imagine when he gets back through the tunnel it's like that movie moment where the kid sneaks back in like heh got away with it, then the lights turn on and the parent figure is in the chair in their pjs all mad like "where were you? 🤨" so like when he gets back through the tunnel Slade and Jagger are just waiting for him there in the basement all 😠 I think that would be funny but also yikes..... and they take him back to his room where they start like interrogating him to find out what happened while he was gone.

I also literally just now as I'm writing this out thought another things that could happen and like, how they find out, is that Jagger had gone into town and sees him with Atticus, but maybe doesn't get a good enough look to know exactly who Chazz is with or something so we can keep the mystery of who his mysterious suitor is, and Ojama Yellow shows up to tell Chazz that they found out Jagger went to town and he has to come back before he's found, but at this point Atty has left so Jagger swoops in and forces Chazz back to the manor, dropping him at Slade's feet with the whole "look who I found wandering around the village this afternoon" bullshit and that would be when they march him back to his room and start interrogating him.

So like that's another way that could go? And obviously they wanna know who the fuck he was with, but obviously Chazz doesn't know who Atticus was and they don't exactly believe he's telling the truth because I mean, in their minds, why would he tell them the truth? So in their frustration and to keep Chazz from trying to escape again, then we get the fun part where Gothel turns Rapunzel's room into the tower muahahahaha so Slade does that, intending to leave Chazz there until he tells them who the boy he met was.

And this is where I need to figure out the equivalent of the magic paintbrush cuz this is where that comes into play after the like stardust turns the hairbrush into the paintbrush.

And that's kinda all I have actually for real thought out atm I mean I did only just start actually planning like last night after all aksksk but I literally just watched the movie again yesterday too and like everything's falling into place fairly easily 😌 but I've still got like the whole last like half to plan out and some questions to answer and decisions to make about what I have so far but GAH THIS IS GOOD SHIT !!

ALSO AS WE ALL WELL KNOW, There are dragons in Barbie as Rapunzel. So I was thinking I could find a way to sneak Light and Darkness Dragon in there at some point, maybe towards the end like LDD gets summoned somehow and like rescues Chazz from the tower and gets him to the kingdom in time to thwart Slade and Jagger??? We'll see what I can figure out I guess aksksk

BUT YEAH THAT'S AS FAR AS I'VE GOTTEN ATM WHAT DO YOU THINK MY FRIEND??? CUZ I THINK WE HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A WINNER HERE!!

Y'all wanna know a secret? I suck at playing Pizza Tower. I haven't beaten the game yet. Still stuck in the first world. Haven't faced Pepperman yet because I wanted to get at least an A-rank in all the other levels first. And because of my massive anxiety playing most video games, if I fail a level, I have to stop playing altogether for the day because I'm overstimulated.

Regardless of how much I suck at this game, I still love everything about it, especially the characters and the cartoony, largely pizza-centric universe they inhabit.

Honestly, I was never good at Wario-likes anyway. Wario Land 4 was my worst one. I love Wario himself and all his games, but Wario Land games were always super-tough for me. Huge fan of Wario, though. And Super Mario in general, actually. I used to be known as "MelissaMarioSister" or "MMSis" back when I was much younger and way more fucking annoying. I was hardcore obsessed with the series and what little lore I could squeeze out of it, and the Wario titles were part of it, so...

Honestly, I kinda wonder what it'd be like if Pizza Tower had future games that explored more of Peppino's Wario roots. Like... I've seen some people draw Pizza Tower OCs that are equivalents to characters from Wario's world, and I always find that interesting. Like... I've seen Mona equivalents, as one example. I should really look up more examples. Maybe I'll even design my own takes on this concept.

My point is, I really do try to play Pizza Tower and to conquer the game, but my anxiety and lack of skill make it difficult. It doesn't make me any less of a fan. It just means I need to git gud.

i think one of the things that pisses me off the most is "not everything has to be accessible" bcuz there is something to that

most light shows cannot be made accessible to epileptics. if the point of the entire thing is flashing lights theres not a way to fix that. i saw a really cool show in france, it was in a cave with a shit ton of projectors putting collages of classic art on the walls and floors synced to music, you were surrounded by the show it was absolutely sick. and my first thought was "my mum should see this !!"

but of course that's not possible. the whole concept would have to be reworked. and if you want ppl who are photosensitive to enjoy it you could do that, youd just have to have some creative thinking. but that show specifically wouldnt be possible.

but i only ever see "not everything needs to be accessible" in response to things that are very easy to make accessible.

everything else about that show should be accessible. headphones for loud noises, ramps for wheelchair users, a break room for nausea, actual seating, even a guide for ppl with vision issues bcuz that doesnt mean they cant enjoy the show. iirc it was a man made cave so its not like they couldn't have done all of that, i think they had done some of it.

i mean. all of that just sounds nice to have in general. who doesnt get a little sick from spinning pictures and flashing lights ? the show was over an hour, who wouldnt want seating available ?

i feel like its like drinking alcohol which may be a dumb analogy but like. alcohol is dangerous to some ppl and you cant super change that, but to ppl with texture issues you can put it in other things. i cant drink fresh cocktails if they have seeds or pulp but you can make them without those. some ppl are allergic to oranges so just make a different cocktail. you cant really make the alcohol itself safe to drink for some ppl but you can make it safe and enjoyable for everyone else.

i think part of it is ppl dont know what the concept is and what just comes with the concept. the entire concept of monster truck rallies is giant truck destroy things. that's all you need. of course, you can't have that without loud noises but thats not important to the concept that's just an unavoidable part of it, so they have headphones (they were $40 in the early 2010s i dont wanna know the price now) especially bcuz such a childish concept is obviously gunna attract children who will need headphones. idr if i had headphones but i do remember having to take a break multiple times. you dont miss anything from wearing the headphones or watching from your couch.

if you're trying to make a ragebait game, okay then i guess it makes sense i dont understand the appeal but whatever. those games dont usually have a way to make them easier anyways unless you start flying bcuz the point is dumb controls and pixel perfect maneuvers, there's not usually a story. but whenever i see git gud games they have all this shit other than the git gud part that i dont understand not having an easy mode. like if the whole point was hard as balls combat why are the item descriptions little crumb trails to the story ? ragebait games arent usually rendered so intensely. in git gud games there's usually stuff to enjoy other than jerking yourself off after a hard boss.

"not everything needs to be accessible" they make music for deaf ppl i think we can bend the bullshit rules a little bit.

Sometimes 'going 2 work’ for me means sending 1000 reddit DMs & only getting “lol why do u charge money to draw??” replies back

Others I get to give someone’s mermaid tattoo a hot octo-husband though, so it almost balances out,,,
