Answering My Own Height Questions
*I want to apologize for everyone being untextured, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to load the textures in Blender. Besides, this should make it easier to see anyway.
While I was poking around, I decided to go ahead and definitively answer my question from a while back about how tall DJSS is.
At a quick glance, the undisputable answer appears to be that he's shorter than Tatiana, but taller than Neon J... barely.
This doesn't consider the thickness of his helmet (unless you think the helmet is his head), but even so, this difference is so small, that it's easier to say that they're about the same height.
BUT
As we know from the Christmas DLC, DJSS's feet do not sink completely into the soles of his shoes.
So adjusting for where his feet would actually touch the ground, DJSS is actually shorter than Neon J. by a good couple of inches, but still taller than Mayday.
(Not that it really matters in fanart, since they're usually wearing their default outfits anyway, so even pointing this out is basically null~)
I also wanted to check Eve against the others, and with heels she's still shorter than NJ and DJSS.
This shot was taken before I adjusted for shoe height for DJSS/Eve, but with adjustments, DJSS is still just a little taller than Eve (it's about the same difference as Neon J. vs. DJSS with shoes).
So, I've a got a win for short!DJSS, but a loss for 2nd tallest!Eve, UmU. (Tatiana is the tallest member of NSR, not counting *Sayu, who I consider a special case.)
*Sayu is in scale to her B2J battle, meaning she's a giant compared to everyone else, so I didn't include her.
And of course I had to do B2J, Kliff, and Tatiana for my own amusement.
I didn't order them by height this time, but the grid guide should suffice. It's a little hard to say if Kliff or Zuke is actually taller since their hair is so dense, but considering that Kliff also wears shoes with a heel, I'm gonna err on Kliff being *just* a hair shorter than Zuke, but they're really about the same. However, Tatiana is actually about a whole head taller than Kliff putting him at perfect motorboating height.
I wanted to check the sewer gang too, but their models are not created equal, and I don't think they're in scale with each other.
Maybe it's just me, or because he's asserting dominance, but Zam seems bigger than he should be, and Gigi/Yiruk look a little smaller than they should be. Robot could be to scale, but I think he looks a little big too.
As my final bonus, I wanted to compare Yinu and 1010 to see how accurate my "Heart and Soul" sketch would have been and...
Nope. Handholding is basically impossible for them. At best, Yinu might be able to grab one of his fingers, but it'd be straining to do so unless he hunched over. So, it'd be even more impossible in my fic where she's younger and presumably even shorter, and the MKI is implied to be bigger and bulkier.
#nsr#no straight roads#djss#dj subatomic supernova#neon j#tatiana#mayday#eve#zuke#kliff#1010#yinu#well this was fun and informative#i'm glad i can finally close the book on some of these burning height questions#but chances are i'm probably still gonna draw everyone as i've headcanoned them#i usually make kliff about a head taller than may#but i guess may is actually at about forehead kissing height to both him and zuke#i did have eve at about a head taller than nj and djss as a head shorter than him#but they're all actually pretty close#and even tatiana as the tallest isn't *that* much taller than the majority of her stars#but i'd still like to make her huge~#it's just funnier that way

I just realized I never posted photos of this really pretty harvestman i came across a while back. Note the green pedipalps and the dark and light spots on its back.
#opiliones#arachnids#chelicerata#bugs#harvestman#bugblr#the light spots were a very light green iirc (it's been a while) but they just look white here#there's a photoset of a really cool harvestman going around and it reminded me of this one and i realized i never posted these pics#spider#(ik they arent spiders but i'm tagging it as that for blacklist purposes#bc i imagine that someone who's really scared of spiders probably doesnt care that actually opiliones are not spiders just close relatives)#i think its so cool how i didnt even know opiliones were a thing until a couple of years ago and now i see them all the time#turns out they're pretty common around here#(not that i never saw them before i mustve just assumed they were spiders)#theyre usually not as pretty as this one though#most of the ones i see are just black or dark brown#also i have a massive backlog of pictures ive never posted of bugs and other nature stuff#my stuff#my posts#outside tag#nature

đđ đđđđđđđđđđđ (đđ. đŠđšđšđđŹ' đšđđŹ)
summary: i was plagued by the visions of my twst ocs interacting with my mootsâ ocs, so here we are (aka i had a sudden burst of motivation to write about them interacting and now i'm very nervous to post this)
characters: cassandra, selene, angelica, carmilla (my ocs); @crystallizschâs yuusha and yuuna, @viperbunniesâs oz (ft. yuudai), @anbaisaiâs mayu
warnings: bullying (oz's part); jamil slander bc i love him <3 (all parts)
a/n: if i ever manifest in your dms with cryptic questions about your ocs, be not afraid, just answer them :3c (also i need to set up my oc directory and finish some intros fr)
twisted wonderland masterlist
CASS + YUUSHA + YUUNA
The sun was still high and clear in the sky as Yuusha made her way towards Ramshackle. Most students had already either returned to their dorm by this time or were still goofing off with their friends, sparing her any unnecessary run-ins with any of the collegeâs troublemakers. But, at NRC, a day could only stay peaceful for so long. When she passed by the mirror chamber, her phone vibrated.
Ramshackle Support GroupÂ
yuuna: @.yuusha be careful when you come back to the dorm yuuna: the stairs to the second floor caved in again yuusha: iâm still close to the school, iâll go talk to crowley about it Cass: Wait for me, Iâd also like to have a chat with the Headmage. yuusha: weâre not killing him Cass: Not even a little?
A few hours later, with the sun already far behind the horizon, the three girls fell onto Ramshackleâs rickety couches in exhaustion. Crowley had very generously provided them with funds to purchase supplies for repairing the stairs, but had otherwise not lifted a single clawed finger. Likewise, Grim was nowhere to be seen when he heard of physical labour.
âSo,â Cass broke the silence, lifting her head from a cushion, âwhen are we going to ask Kalim for help instead of that useless weirdo?â
âWe canât just go and mooch off Kalim just because heâs rich,â Yuusha interjected, rolling over and settling into a more comfortable position at the other end of the sofa.
âWhy not? Every other student in this school seems to be absolutely loaded. We, on the other handâŠâ Cass fished out a pillow under her golden locks and demonstrably pulled open the entire seam by a loose thread. âItâs not like Kalim would even notice.â
âWell, by that standard,â Yuuna chimed up while straightening out the bow in their hair, âwhy donât you go ask Leona, Cass? Iâm sure heâd be more than willing to help you out.â
âYeah right, and next you know Azul will start handing out freebies,â the blonde snorted. Discarding the thread between her fingers on the coffee table, she started fiddling with the frazzled pillow cover instead. âWhy are you bringing him up anyway? Arenât Idia or Malleus or Vil just as rich?â
Her dorm mates exchanged knowing looks before Yuusha tilted her head towards Cassandra again with a grin. âOh câmon, we both have eyes you know.â
âAnd Iâm not sure if those are working correctly.â
âWhy deny it?â Yuuna giggled, taking a sip from the mug cradled between their hands. âSure, Leonaâs got an attitude problem and is generally unpleasant, but it could be worse. Probably.â
âYouâre imagining things, why would Iââ Breaking herself off with a sharp exhale, Cass pulled the seam taught between her hands. âIâd rather throw myself headfirst into a pit of horned serpents than ask that ass for a favour.â
âMhm, Iâm sure youâd like to ask that ass something else instead,â Yuusha gleefully joined in the teasing. A second later a certain cushion hit her square in the chest, which didnât deter her. âOr are you saying you decided to join Jackâs morning run, which just so happens to end at Savanaclawâs morning practice, with no ulterior motive?â
âIt certainly wasnât so I could see Leona more! But anyway, since I already brought up snakes just now,â Cass started, turning her bright eyes on Yuusha. âWhy donât we talk about what I saw when passing by the courtyard this afternoon?â
With a telling glance towards Yuuna, who sat curled up in their armchair now, Cass added, âInvolving a certain Vice Housewarden.â
âOh my god! Did you come home late because you were meeting with Jamil?â There was genuine excitement in Yuunaâs voice as they perked up where they sat. âYou gotta spill the beans now.â
âOnly if a certain someone spills the tea on her and a certain lion.â The pillow flew back towards Cass.
âThereâs nothing to spill here,â Cass retorted, catching the projectile easily.
âOh right, by the same chance Grim will pass the next potions exam.â
âI noticed you didnât deny that there was something going on between the two of you.â
âWouldnât you like to know?â
âYes!â
âBoth of us actually!!â
It was a long night at Ramshackle. (Some say theyâre still debating their terrible taste in men to this day.)
SELENE + ANGELICA + OZ (ft. Yuudai)
Of course this would happen to him of all people. If anyone was unlucky enough to accidentally delete the message stating where the film research club would be meeting and then miss Yuudai, who had forgotten his phone at the dorm that day, by a few minutes, of course it would be him. And though he knew better, when Oz was running all over campus trying to find the prefect, he started hoping to run into someone who could point him in the right direction. Which was when he quite literally ran into magift players on their way home from a gruelling practice and looking to blow off some steam.Â
âTch, I thought I smelled another beastman around,â one of them scoffed as they started crowding around Oz, making him scrunch his nose in distaste. âTurns out it was just this little runt.â
âYer always hoppinâ all over the place, arenât ya?â The one on the left joined in, laughing as he started jabbing his finger into Ozâs birthmark. âWhy donât ya show us a trick, ya little freak?â
âLook whoâs talking.â A clear voice cut through the air. Over the guysâ shoulders Oz could spot green hair and a pair of orange antennae. Selene looked entirely unimpressed by the scene she was witnessing. The dark-skinned girl walking next to her didnât look any happier either. âThe only freaks Iâm seeing are the giant idiots running their mouths for no reason. Are you having fun only picking on people smaller than you?â
âHa? You got some kind of problem, you bug-legged freak?â
âOh, no, youâre the only ones with some kind of problem here. Your vernacular for example,â Selene waved them off. Her voice made it clear that she was completely over this conversation and considered talking to them a waste of her time. Slipping a phial out of her pockets, she swirled its luminescent contents around with a pensive look on her face before fixing her gaze on the magift players again. âSince you never pick on anyone your size maybe I should shrink you down to the size of mice? I need to test this one anywayâŠâ
Seeing the seriousness in her expression the guys urgently whispered between each other before deciding to scram but not without hurling a few more insults at the Pomefiore student. In response, Selene only gave them a meaningful look and her lip curled slightly at the corner.
âIf I was you, Iâd be careful with the cafeteria food for the next few days. Who knows what could accidentally slip in there.â
With the athletes out of sight, Ozâs shoulders finally dropped their tension and he heaved a sigh as he approached the two girls. By now, the potion had already vanished somewhere behind the width of Seleneâs flowy sleeves.
âThanks for stepping in,â Oz started, before adding a little more hesitantly, âbut you wouldnât actually spike their food, right?â
âItâs true that Iâll eventually have to give this potion to a person but Iâm still perfecting the ratio of the ingredients,â Selene shrugged nonchalantly. Seeing Ozâs unconvinced expression she added with a small smile, âAs long as they think thereâs the chance that I would, itâs sufficient. Some people would call human experimentation at this stage unethical. And frankly, thatâs more paperwork than I care to bother with, so donât worry about it.â
ââThose peopleâ are called an ethics committee, Sel, for the sevenâs sake. Also quit making such jokes or Oz will think youâre being serious about it,â Angelica spoke up, exasperation and fondness mixing in her tone as she smiled at her girlfriend. As she shook her head, the star-shaped buns on her head bobbed, making various accessories in her hair glitter like stars in the night sky. Then she turned her dark eyes on Oz. âAnyway, that aside, are you okay?â
âJust a bit shaken up, but otherwise Iâm fine,â he said. Absent-mindedly, one of his gloved hands traced the spot where the guy had poked him but Seleneâs dual-coloured eyes caught on to the movement. Digging through her purse, she procured a compact mirror and concealer.
âYour make-up came off a little. If it makes you more comfortable, you can touch it up. It wonât be perfect but our teint is similar enough for it to pass.â Holding the utensils out to him, Oz took them from her. âThe cushionâs unused if thatâs what youâre worried about.â
âOh no, thatâs not it.â Considering just leaving it at that, Oz trailed off before exhaling deeply. From all the brief times heâd talked to Angelica and Selene, he didnât think theyâd make fun of him for what he was about to say, so he plucked up his courage. âIt just feels a little silly sometimes that I care so much about something like a birthmark.â
The girls exchanged a quick glance before Angelica smiled at him warmly, reaching out to hold the concealer while Oz applied it in the mirror. âI donât think itâs silly at all, if that helps you.â
âI agree,â Selene nodded, adjusting her glasses afterwards. âWe all have traits we feel insecure about, especially if others have commented unfavourably on them in the past. Some days we feel more comfortable showing them and on others weâd rather hide them from view. I think most people feel like that.â
When she took the make-up from him again, Oz couldnât help but notice the pink colour staining her arms from the tips of her fingers to her elbow. He obviously had known it was there, but hadnât paid it much mind up until now. Something told him Selene had personal experience in the matter as well.
âIf you donât mind me asking,â Angelica spoke up again, âwhat happened earlier anyway? I find it hard to imagine that you wronged them somehow.â
âOh!â Oz suddenly remembered the club meet he had to get to, so he very quickly explained his problem to the couple, who listened attentively even as he nervously thumped his foot and nearly bit his tongue. âSo just when I started hoping to find anyone from the film research club, I ran into them instead.â
âWell, you found someone who can help you in the end after all. Though weâre not from the film club, Selene has something she wants to ask Vil, so we were actually just on our way to meet them.â The Ignihyde studentâs voice was so light and welcoming as she spoke, it was hard to imagine she actually went to NRC. âIf you want to, you can accompany us.â
âThat would be a big help,â Oz took her up on the offer.Â
Soon enough, the late afternoon was filled with the usual complaints levelled at teachers and classmates. Selene described how she had passed by the first yearâs botany class on mandrakes recently and had nearly had a heart attack because she had thought she heard one of the plants scream, but it had turned out to be Sebek instead. The art teacher had once nearly tossed out Azulâs assignment because they hadnât recognised it as a finished painting, Oz told them. Angelica recalled how, in her first year, they had had joint potions classes with the third years once and she had almost passed away when she was partnered up with Leona, only to barely catch his head from nodding off into the potion.
âLooks like we still made it in time,â Angelica sighed in relief as they spotted Vil assigning tasks from a distance. Turning to Oz with a smile, she brushed a stray coil out of her face. âIt was fun talking to you. Makes me wonder why we havenât interacted more before, despite all of us being second years.â
âI donât think thatâs on either of us,â Selene interjected, her antennae and the green-pink moth wings on her back fluttering in the evening breeze. âIt probably has something to do with the fact that Oz hangs out with Jamil a lot and that guy has always been giving me the widest berth possible.â
âAh⊠Please donât hold it against him,â Oz tried to defend the vice housewarden, knowing how he already reacted to bugs the size of his finger. While wondering what else he could say, he heard his name being called. âWell, Iâll see you around then. And thank you again for everything.â
âYouâre very welcome. And good luck with those photos!â Angelica waved him goodbye as the two made their way over to Pomefioreâs housewarden.
Selene only elegantly tilted her head down as they parted but still left him with a friendly âĂ bientĂŽt.â
In the meantime, Yuudai had made his way over to him, camera already hanging around his neck as heâd no doubt gone through most of the preparations already. Despite that, he still grinned at the sophomore.
âOz, there you are. I was already worried you had forgotten that weâre helping Vil today.â
âHow could anyone possibly forget that?â Scratching his head, he decided to gloss over most of what had happened. âI just got held up a little. Anyway, what can I help you with?â
CARMILLA + MAYU
âMayu! Just the person I was looking for~â
Looking over her shoulder for the sweet voice calling her name to find the hallway completely deserted, Mayu shook her head and turned back in the direction she was going. Only to nearly jump out of her skin as she came face to face with a pair of sharp, teal eyes.
âSorry, did I startle you? That wasnât my intention,â Carmilla cooed, not sounding all that sorry. The ghostly flames around her flickered mischievously as the fae fell into step next to her. âYou were on your way somewhere, werenât you? Why donât we walk while we talk, hm? Itâs been a while since we last got to chat, how are you doing? Nobodyâs giving you any trouble, right?â
âOh uhm, Iâm doing fine and everyoneâs very nice to me. Thank you for the concern,â Mayu answered, giving Carmilla a small smile. As they continued towards the library, the prefect fiddled with her cuff sleeves as she hesitated to say what was on her mind, before conceding. âActually, Iâm struggling with Ancient Curses at the moment. I just never seem to get them right.â
âAncient curses, huh? Iâm quite good at them, but soâs Jamil if I remember correctly.â Casting a studying glance at the girl next to her, Carmilla went on smoothly. âHavenât you asked him for help before? Iâm sure he wonât try to weasel himself out of tutoring if itâs you.â
âI did think about it,â Mayu admitted with a sigh, âbut heâs been so busy lately, even more so than usual. And I donât want to bother him.â
A gasp echoed around the hallway as Carmilla halted in her tracks at a crossroad, head whipping around to the younger girl next to her. It made Mayu stop, too, and look at her curiously.Â
âDoes that mean he hasnât even been making time for you?â The foxâs usually playful expression had shifted, regarding her with eyes that had softened around the corner in sympathy.Â
âNo! Itâs notââ Mayu immediately piped up, holding her hands up in defence. How did they end up talking about her and Jamil in the first place? âI know that he does try to make as much time for me as possible. He just has a lot on his plate at the moment.â
âOh dear, that wonât do. Tell you what, I actually came here to ask if you want to take some clothes off my hands.â Procuring two bags stuffed full with fabrics out of thin air, the idol held them out for her to take. âTheyâre all products from brand deals that arenât really my style or colour, but I thought they might look cute on you. Especially since you came here without anything you could call a wardrobe. If you end up not liking them, you can just give them back to me, I donât want you thinking Iâm just dumping my old clothes on you.â
âOh, thatâs too kind of you, Carmilla,â Mayu exclaimed, pleasantly surprised by the weighted bags now dangling off her arm. Running her fingers over the soft material lying on top, it reminded her of the comfy hoodies she regularly âborrowedâ from a certain someone. âI canât wait to try them on.â
âDonât mention it. Normally Iâd just leave it at that but considering what you just told me, you should totally wear them the next time you go out with Jamil! In fact, why donât you just ask him out the next time you see him?â And just like that, all worry was erased from Carmillaâs face and her sunshiney smile was back on as she curled a pink strand around her manicured finger. âPersonally I donât get what you see in the guy at all, but I do commend the charity work. Plus, as you said, he could reaaallllyy use a break~â
âHm, I donât know about asking him out all of a sudden,â Mayu contemplated, her dark eyes trailing over the bricks in the walls as she considered it. âBut I would like to do something nice for him.â
âI totally support it! Oh, actually, that reminds me! Thereâs an upcoming festival in Foothill town, celebrating the new year. Itâs always super cute and scenic.â As Carmilla spoke, the air around them filled with magic before displaying luminous scenes of people mingling in the streets of the quaint town, various foods and items in hand as the night sky was illuminated by fireworks. âYou should really go and experience it for yourself. Canât let an opportunity like this pass you by, right?â
âRight,â the prefect echoed as she watched the last wisps of the illusion fizzle out into nothingness. With newfound determination, she fixed her big eyes on the fae again. âThank you so much, Carmilla. For everything.â
âOh please, I hardly did anything. And about the clothes and the festival,â she leaned towards Mayu with a conspiratorial twinkle in her eyes, âletâs keep it a secret between the two of us, no need to credit me. Consider it my good deed of the day.â
As Mayu nodded, albeit a little confused by the request, Carmillaâs ears twitched at the sound of a familiar set of agitated footsteps. Feigning surprise as she looked down at the time of her phone, she gave the younger girl an apologetic smile.
âI guess thatâs my cue to leave. It was fun catching up, we should really do it more often. For now, though, youâll have to excuse me.â Slinking past Mayu with a wink, the soft fur of Carmillaâs tail brushed against her uniform as the pink fox disappeared the same way she had spontaneously showed up earlier. âToodles~â
Hand half-raised to wave at the now empty hallway, Mayu took a second to process what had just happened, from beginning to end. The bags in her hand corroborated that she hadnât just imagined it and when she looked up any events that would soon happen in Foothill Town, the festival was there too. With a shake of her head, Mayu wrote it off as just another one of NRCâs daily occurrences. Just then, someone else rounded the corner.Â
âPrefect, what are you doing here?â
âOh Jamil, hi. I was on my way to the library to look for books on ancient curses.â
âAncient curses? I still have some notes I could lend you from my first yearâŠâ
Carmilla only caught the beginning of their conversation as it trailed off in the distance. Mayu was right when she said Jamil could do with a break. It had gotten to a point where seeing him in the morning started putting her on edge too and it made her fur stand on end. Especially when it affected the other students in the dorm as well. Palpable tension and all that. Needless to say, something had to be done about it if Carmilla wanted to go back to some relaxing peace and quiet.
No harm done by pulling a few strings if placating their vice housewarden also benefited the prefect, right?~

i admit that i find it a little bit frustrating how Wildly Astonished other antizionist jews act when i tell them my israeli jewish family have lived in the region since [some unknown length of time before 1800 when there start being records about it]
#and then they're like ''ohhh they're mizrahi!'' [connotation nonwhiteâ virtuously indigenous]#and i have to be like. no. it's just thatâ as palestine was in fact ottoman-administered greater syria for most of the last 600 yearsâ#you could get there from other parts of the ottoman empire. such as the part of now-ukraine your ashkenazi family is also from.#it wasn't actually a hermetically sealed arab-only ethnostate that evaporated immigrants on sight. it was a pretty decent place to live as#a jew by at least some accounts. or better than the front of the hapsburg-ottoman war anyway which is where they were coming from.#i'm not sure who you think it's serving exactly to believe that there were literally no ashkenazim in the middle east before the 1st aliyah#however there were some. and this information does not actually threaten a modern anti-state of israel position like at all.#but since apparently you've constructed your new Diaspora-Centric Identity around the idea that 'palestine' and 'diaspora'#are the two mutually exclusive nonoverlapping regions and the former is ontologically a no-european-jews-allowed zone#i guess i can give you a minute to try to figure it out.#ugh sorry this is nothing it isn't anything. for one thing it's fantastically unimportant#and for another thing i don't know how to like talk about it in a way that doesn't make me sound at least kind of like im trying to justify#myself as being somehow less complicit or something. i mean i think my complicity as an american dwarfs the rest of it honestly but.#i just feel really insanely alienated where the rhetoric of my theoretically most closely politically aligned group is not really built to#like. accommodate the facts of my family history.#sorry. i have honestly no idea why im so obsessed with articulating this concept ive just been chewing on it pointlessly for days#box opener

aye can i get a fuckin uuuhhhh
break. on my burger
#shit chat#family cw#got sicker than i have been in years my bank closed my checking account on accident work is nightmarishly busy#and my mother is sending strings of long voice memos in the family group chat again#i simply will not be listening to them. at most i'll ask my dad or brother for the sparknotes version#bc her pattern for the better part of this year has been radio silence. no attempt at communication whatsoever#and then BAM like 5-10 min worth of voice memos screaming crying sobbing shaking#I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY CHILDREN TO FORGIVE ME. I'M CRAWLING ON MY KNEES ON THE DESERT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS REPENTING#WHAT THE FUCK IS FAMILY FOR YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I'M SUFFERING SO MUCH AND I'M ALONE BECAUSE#MY FAMILY ABANDONED ME. I HAVE NO ONE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT I'M BEGGING. I NEED HELP I NEED MY KIDDOS AROUND ME PLEASE I'M DYING#followed by several minutes of sordid updates on her shitty miserable life#which is tbf pretty shitty & miserable. she's extremely physically disabled & mentally ill#her partner had a severe stroke a couple months ago and is still recovering. they've both been in & out of hospital#neither working. partner's adult son who lives with them is the only income in the household#partner's permanently disabled mother also lives with them. plus 2 large dogs 6 cats and 3 each of chickens & ducks#they're in court suing their landlord bc he's trying to evict them but the property is an uninhabitable shithole to begin with#but like. whenever i do make the mistake of responding to one of her groupchat tantrums#she's just like 'oh you know me im a survivor :) i just miss yous is all :) now that you're here i'm gonna bitch about my life for an hour#and ignore everything you have to say and show active disdain & boredom whenever you tell me anything about yourself or your life :)'#and if i offer help she refuses it#like it's just a bid for attention. expecting unconditional love and absolution and salvation from us bc That's What Families Do#she doesn't actually seem to give a shit about any of us as real people. just this ironclad delusion of unconditional family support#that she frankly has not earned#my brother actually did go visit her in the hospital on thanksgiving. driving 2hrs out of his way to do so#and she was a raging passive aggressive bitch to him and threw the gift he'd brought her back in his face#ma'am i know you're Going Through It but so are the rest of us & frankly you've given me zero reason to want to interact w/ ur caustic ass#plus this is petty but yet another way in which she doesn't listen to me & makes no attempt whatsoever at genuine relationship#i've told her numerous times that responding to groupchat voice memos is hard for me. that i love & miss her#and if she wants to see me or needs help or whatever to please contact me one on one either by call or text#nope. refuses to respond to/initiate individual contact. ONLY traumadumping in the fam chat. TLDR MY MOM IS A DISFUNCTIONAL TOXIC NIGHTMARE.

Oh no the Dragon Age AMA answers are making my blood pressure rise, quick, close the tab

She's a 100% classic crow too!!!!!!!#What the fuck!!!#veilguard critical#someone bring in a person who actually knows what they're talking about!! oh wait they've all been fired pretty much my bad

Sonic au where everything's the same except the werehog was feral during unleashed. Nothing else abt the plot changes bc at his core sonic is still himself BUT he's more Creature. Bigger, fluffier, can't talk, overall more animal-isms. Yeah
#ramblings#i remember reading a fic a while ago on ao3 that was literally just this. basically snippets from unleashed but he's feral like this#idk if his design was ever described as different from canon tho. i'm pretty sure it wasn't#i don't use ao3 anymore and i don't remember what it's called so i'm not looking for it#i'm just imagining my own version of the same concept#i'm imagining the scene where he first meets chip. he kinda paws at him gently and growls#and when chip says 'don't eat me! i taste bad!' he gets confused and whines sadly thinking like i wasn't gonna do that...... :[#and the scene where tails almost gets attacked by a bunch of dark gaia monsters#after he beats them up he goes up to him and like sniffs him and looks over him making sure he's not hurt and whimpering#bc that's his best friend!! his little brother!!! he doesn't want him to be hurt!!!!#meanwhile tails is confused as hell. not realizing that's sonic at first until he hesitantly calls his name and sonic looks up at him#with wide eyes and perked up ears. and then it clicks like 'ohhhh it's you.. wait what the heck why do you look like that'#and sonic kinda shrugs and growls like idk man you tell me#later he asks if sonic can talk at all and he shakes his head and growls and kinda scratches at his throat#'oh is your throat sore? maybe some tea would help! not sure if i have any on hand though...'#cut to after they save professor pickle and they're at his lab talking abt the situation at hand or whatever#and sonic has a warm cup of tea in his paws and he's lapping it up not listening to what everyone else is saying bc mmm yummy :]#OH AND THE SCENE WHERE HE SAVES AMY FROM BEING HARRASSED BY PROFESSOR PICKLE'S POSSESSED ASSISTANT#him holding her close growling and hissing at everyone else for bothering her. that's his friend!!!! leave her alone!!!!!!#i should draw something for this actually. i wanna see the creature. big spiky dog hedgehog thing#i already love him#feral werehog au

getting back on my drawing slowly but surely ^^ here's an aleena
#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sth aleena#aleena the hedgehog#sorta vent in tags but its more rambling TDLR i got injured right after the other stuff lol :sob:#just a tw for xacto knives & vomitting#I probably would have gotten back sooner but I ended up having a pretty nasty accident with an Xacto knife#design students remember your xacto safety and dont end up like me#my mom says it's probably because I was distracted with other events so I wasn't paying as much attention as i should have#you always feel like they're overreacting about safety till you end up in an accident :skull:#or well#Ive been cut before with Xactos but they weren't from cutting straight against a ruler and not realizing your finger is in the way#they were mostly because of how I'd accidentally push my finger too close to the back of the knife#and circles#âGo fast with a lot of pressureâ - my design teacher's instructions on straight lines... yeah. I did that.#It's kinda crazy though cause I've gotten worse injuries but HOLY FUCK#Like yeah. Spraining my ankles hurt... burns hurt... that time my elbow just decided to be unbearably painful for no reason#that last one still confuses me cause what the hell??? anyways this time was just#an actual ridiculous amount of pain for what it was#I threw up 5 times from the pain all at once... which has only ever happened before with the elbow thing#at least this was an actual reason. unlike the elbow... which I LITERALLY JUST WOKE UP AND IT WAS SEARING PAIN LIKE WHAT THE HELL????#anyways#Now that it doesnt hurt as bad it's kinda neat to look at#and think about in hindsight cause it bled a lot :sob:

oh yeah i played a little more isat today and i have to say i just ADORE how the dialogue is written. specifically the way the party can say and do things that upset another, but its treated as just a normal thing that happens and it has no bearing on the story or anything. like i just saw siffrin, bonnie and isabeau make fun of a wilting plant which turned out to be mirabelle's and she became dejected about it, or odile worrying she didn't react well enough to bonnie's snacks even though they were fine. literally one of the first things that happens is siffrin upsetting mirabelle bc they didn't show enough enthusiasm about the sleepover. the characters feel so Human bc they make little mistakes that genuinely upset someone even to each other and i can't think of any other thing i'm into that does it like that. if that makes sense
#clai speaks#really really reeeeally good natural sounding dialogue. they're still clearly all very close friends but that doesnt mean they're--#--immune to butting heads with each other#like yeah interactions like these are probably still hints at the characters actual plot relevant insecurities and flaws#but its just smth about how its shown yknow?? just in passing like its normal#any other game would make it a plot point for a main character to accidentally offend another#also on the topic of dialogue i just really liked the scene where loop tells siffrin their pronouns#i've never seen any media with a character going ''hey my pronouns are x'' before idk it just makes me happy#speaking of siffrin. oh my god they just like me fr#the sieve-like brain. the ''who are you. if not the funnyjokespun guy'' line. the uhhhh Disproprotionate Guilt At Mistakes#the more i find out about siffrin the more afraid i am that this game will kill me on a Personal level BJEVRJBFJFJ#big ramble hello if you got through it all i hope i'm making sense. if you cant tell i am very much enjoying myself!#i'm only on like my third loop i'm still pretty much at the beginning but its already so good and intriguing

Sparkstember Day 25: Hippopotamus (What The Hell Is It This Time?)
My Hippopotamus rant is here. I love Hippo and I think this was one of the best examples of how putting something off for later can be a very good idea sometimes. So I didn't hear most of it until this summer, and hearing the whole album then was one of the biggest highlights of that time. Thank you modern era Sparks for always bringing us the awesomest music ever.
#hippopotamus my beloveddddddd. also i like this drawing a lot!!! :)#i actually managed to make the letters and fire look pretty close to what they're like in the music video so that's pretty epic#anyways my favs are still roughly the same. but lately i've been also really enjoying probably nothing. beautiful somg#and now it's tagent(s) time because i thought it would be fun to buy a hippo plushie for this day and pose it for a photo#but well i don't even have this album physically so idk what other cool way i could have done this in#and yeah i mostly wanted to get something hippo-themed anyway#because a while ago i had to pass up on very awesome socks with hippos on them because they didn't have the right size#and i'm still thinking about them sometimes (i'm the biggest fan of fun socks)#ALSO... my original original plan for hippo (and ecotd tbh)#was to wait with them until something epic and sparks-related was happening. like travelling to see them on tour#well that didn't happen as we all know so. moved on from that idea eventually#but the future is bright anyway because i love modern era sparks sm and i can actually look forward to new albums coming out soon-ish#from both of my biggest favs AND another band that i've been getting into lately so uhhhh if not 2024#then can please at least 2025 be the year of awesomeness and amazingness that i've been waiting for?!?!?#ok this isn't even about hippo anymore so i'll just finish now#sparkstember 2024#my art#goose monologues

Snakelet - Chapter 4
@augustofwhump Day 17 - Stress Position @augusnippets Day 7 - Drowning
Word count: 409
Masterpost
Content: Nonhuman/vampire/immortal-ish whumpee, water torture, regular torture, stress position
Thank god there's another event going on I needed the extra inspo lol
~
It wasn't enough to suspend him from the ceiling like a glorified punching bag.
It wasn't enough to hang him up by the ankles, letting gravity put all the wrong pressure on his insides.
It wasn't enough to strain every aching muscle in his body, tying his wrists to his ankles, his horns to his elbows, his wings to his tail.
Oh, no.
He struggles to swallow in fear, taking a deep breath in preparation for the tub of water being summoned just below him, the arm holding him up by the hair the only thing keeping him dry.
They have to make it a game.
With an unceremonious splash, his hair is released, sending him face-first into the chill, murky water.
It's not a matter of how long he can hold his breath, of course. He doesn't need air.
It's a matter of how much pain he can take until he accidentally breathes in.
He does good, at first. If he'd been asked a few rests ago, he wouldn't have considered flogging to be "taking it easy", but the simple beating is almost welcome after everything else he's been put through.
The water is hardly even a concern; in fact, it's more of a comfort, a cool weight calming him through the pain.
When something starts to dig into his flesh, a few air bubbles escape him, though he diligently refrains from inhaling. More and more bubbles float to the surface as he feels more chunks of skin, fur, and scales torn out of him, until he can't let out anymore.
He's all out of air, and despite not needing it, the pressure on his lungs from his unvoiced groans has his instinct begging him to breathe in.
He resists.
He resists.
He resists, until a searing pain envelops him, as if every inch of his skin has been scorched.
Reflexively, he gasps for the air to scream, but all that fills his lungs is water.
Reflexively, he tries to cough the water out.
And reflexively, each desperate cough is followed by another desperate inhale.
Burning, burning, burning his lungs and his throat, as if the fire on the outside wasn't bad enough.
As he fights to fend off the instinct forcing him to drown himself, he barely manages to make out muffled laughter.
Just as he starts to regain control, he loses it to another burn even worse than the last.
And another.
And another.
And another.
#call me an ai the way i'll write all day about characters talking about impending action and never the actual action lmaooooo#for a hot minute there all i had in my head was the scene where they're like âoh no the torture's gonna happen!!!â#and then a scene later where they're like âalright now that you've been tortured for a while-â#come on now we need the juice! the deets! how's he getting tortured huh??#well here you go person asking for it (me)#augustofwhump#augustofwhump2024#augusnippets#augusnippets day 7#whump#whumpblr#burning#beating#torture#water torture#drowning#is it drowning if it doesn't kill him? he can't get sick from it or anything either so like#he's fine it just feels fucking AWFUL#whatever it's pretty damn close to drowning#mine#snakelet

seriously considering making a ninjago AU comprised entirely of speculative biology about serpentine because their whole everything is pretty inconsistent but I really like snakes so I wanna fix it up a bit
#i was writing something with constrictai in it#and i realized that they're pretty closely aligned to earth; they burrow and they have super strength like the master of earth#so i wanna tie serpentine species to the elements#cuz that sounds fun#constrictai would be earth ofc#hypnobrai could be mind?#venomari could be poison of toxic or whatever that element was called i forget#fangpyres could be form since they change things into other things#not sure about anacondrai#also i don't really like that aspheera is apparently an ancient hypnobrai cuz aside from the hood she doesn't look anything like one-#-and she doesn't have hypnotizing powers#so i want her to be a member of a species that was a common ancestor of all serpentine#also the snakes from the underwater kingdom whose name i forgot will have water element obviously#i probably should have put that stuff in the main post instead of rambling in the tags. oh well#it's really late rn so i might make an actual post that makes sense and isn't 90% tags tomorrow#ninjago#talking tag#retroactively adding:#ninjago elemental serpentine au

it looks... normal........ they're trying to get me to let my guard down... I know it...
Comparing it to the other three musicals' posters... both musicals 1 and 2 had Phoenix with Leona/Lucia and not anyone else. Musical 3 had a focus on Edgeworth but also Greg, Larry, Badd, and the unfortunate OC love interest Alison. With this one only having canonical characters, it MIGHT be a good sign they're going to stick closer to the actual game this time. still not going to hold my breath over it though.
also, so far no one is blond who shouldn't be and the people who should be blond are. I think this is encouraging. Next big exciting thing is going to be the full cast list which will hopefully come out soon and should give us a better idea of what to expect!
#aa musical 4#imagine if this actually ended up being good. what would I even do#but like... the hairstyles are pretty close to normal. the costumes look normal#ryuu has all his badges#susato's kimono looks like. identical from what I can tell#I can recognize them all as the characters they're supposed to be#just remembering how they didn't even bother with phoenix's badge in the others#so this is a definite improvement so far. but again. I don't trust them
