thinking abt hawke <3

#hawke ilysm #thinking abt the pressure he was under when their father died. to keep the family safe first from the templars and then the blight #to get them out of lothering and anywhere safe. he tried so hard.#and then when bethany died his mother blamed him first.#(he was already thinking it. that he should have had them leave sooner or find a different route anything)#(but mother being so quick to confirm that.)#he hardly rested the entire journey by sea. trying to plan ahead for what theyd do when they landed.#how to keep himself hidden from the templars so carver wouldnt have to think about it for once #how to take care of mother. to honor bethany. to build a new home here.#every plan was thrown out the window when gamlen finally showed up so okay he had to make do with gamlens plan instead #but theyve been trying so hard.#and now. a whole year later. carver repeats what mother said. that its bis fault bethany died.#he thinks carver is surprised when he agreees. and that surprises him.#but both of his remaining family has told him this now. he doesnt disagree.#anyway. just. i have Feelings abt the hawkes and their family dynamics.#just. Yeah #blue plays da2

wish more ppl in the timkon tag understood the concept of "best friends to lovers" 😩 where's my "years' worth of stupid inside jokes referenced at the worst moments just to make each other giggle" nonsense. where's the bone-deep understanding and knowing of each other. the ease and relaxation in each other's presence. the "i know how your head works without you having to tell me" of it all. where's the "no one knows me better than you. how could it be anyone but you" of it all!!!

#rimi talks #also i will say. timkonbart as well. bart is just so very aro to me so these dont apply in a romantic sense to him. but they DO apply #i just love best friends to lovers. they are best friends to lovers!!! where is it!!!!#why do so many timkon fics and posts read like theyre two people who just met 4 months ago and are still trying to get to know each other.#[extremely loud incorrect buzzer] thats not it!!!#the only thing that happened 4 months ago is tim made an embarrassing typo texting kon while half asleep.#and kon is STILL making fun of him for it.#yeah tim? was the grink there?#but like. theyve known each other since they were ~15 (yknow. rough ages bc kons age is hard to pin down. etc.)#theyve been through countless near death situations together #they ironed out the rough spots in their relationship in the yj days......#like bffr kon knew that man like the back of his hand by graduation day.#i think they kinda know each other pretty well by this point 💀#timkon

Genuinely so curious who Mike thinks is gonna be buying The Cage or the new DCTL GN bc with the way he tweets as far as he's concerned, it's not gonna be:

The queer people he has actively admitted he will never show any representation of in the games.

2. The POC he has actively fought against representing in his franchise. [Who he also mocked for thinking they would be represented in his franchise]

3. The Bendy fandom which has always been concerned with topics of diversity esp in the sense of queer people since its creation. Who he has responded to really poorly esp in regards to the GN.

4. The fans who critique him. [He blocked me for doing so lol]

5. His fans in general who he tweets about like this currently. [He's being vague about why people were mad at him or sent him 'nasty messages' because if you actually looked into why you'd see he was in the wrong. Either way, a very hateful way to speak abt ur own fanbase.]

Reminder while Mike is trash talking his fans he has always treated them rather poorly. The fans who won the fanart contest for Chapter 5 never got their posters actually in game due to it being rushed. Not only was chapter 5 a big slap to the face story wise, but it was literally so rushed he couldn't be bothered to add in the art his fans gave him for his game FOR FREE. [Meatly blames this on a crazy timeline, reminder him and Mike are the literal ceos of this company. The proposal of future updates here is also pretty cruel considering Mike nowadays happily admits he corrupted Chapter 5's source code and therefore literally can't update it At All currently. Because he is a moron]

At least they got to be in Boris and the dark survival, and by that I mean that was the Only game they got to be in so far, isn't that just treating your fans like you love them? Shoving their hard work into a spin off game almost nobody has played or addresses much. [Hell, who knows if with the Lone Wolf rebrand they'll even stay there. In which case they'll be in None of the games, only in the credits of BATIM]

6. The Bendy fans who just generally disagree with him on stuff. Like the new ink demon design where there is literally a public poll showing people generally prefer the old one.

7. The Bendy fans who can see he is actively lying to them. To their fucking faces.

He says this has always been the case, but screenshots and links to tweets regarding the books being canon prove it was not. Does he really think bendy fans are stupid or something? [Unless he's admitting here he lied to Kress when he told her the books were canon which sounds worse!]

8. Anyone who doesn't like the idea of giving money to a guy who laid off tons of employees then afterwards thought it was a great idea to express his anti-union views! Also brag about how good of an employer he was, according to his employees, he was not!

So in summary; Mike is an awful person who has not learned anything from the awful things he did. I will not be purchasing The Cage because, combined with this and his absolute refusal to take any kind of critique or see any differing interpretation of his franchise, I have no reason to think my problems with the franchise will ever be addressed or fixed. I probably will pirate The Cage along with any future Bendy Products [Including the movie] and will do my best to avoid giving it any kind of monetary support. Unless this changes any time soon, I can't see myself making anymore positive Bendy posts soon.

Mike has just managed to make it so hard to speak positively or optimistically of this franchise when he's so willing to broadcast how little he cares about it or its fans. I'm at the point where I refuse to pull any of my punches with my problems with it. What's the point of trying to play nice with my critique when either way the people creating it don't care?

So with this post, I want to invite anyone who feels similarly about the franchise to tell me, make a post or send an ask talking about how all of this makes you feel. It may not change how things are, but genuinely seeing other people share my feelings of anger makes me feel better. It feels nice to see when other people share our same concerns and worries. I'd also love to know if anyone else thinks they'll be avoiding purchasing Bendy products over this.

I'm not forcing anyone to participate in it nor trying to say anyone who doesn't supports mike but genuinely maybe if we can collectively decide to boycott things like the movie, graphic novel and The Cage... It might at least make the bendy devs acknowledge how much they have destroyed their own fandom's faith and trust in them.

The way Mike tweets about his actions like he had no control over why people were mad at him at least proves to me he takes NONE of it back nor regrets it. If you didn't know about his actions and only went off his tweets, you would be led to believe Mike has been needlessly picked apart by fans over things he couldn't control [or in his own words, had his words twisted and taken out of context]. That is not how you speak about your actions if you have actually learned better from them.

anyway, that has been my bendy dev callout post. This is an open invitation to anyone feeling similarly upset about the way the franchise is going to talk about it. It's genuinely nice to see how people feel about this and the more we talk about the more it's likely the bendy devs are forced to address our concerns. I don't think they will but hey, that's why I'm not gonna support them with my money anymore nor am I gonna be nice to them in any content I make critiquing Bendy. I mean I'm also basically making this post just in case anyone asks me Why I feel this way towards to bendy devs/as a way to respond to anyone who thinks I am too harsh in my critique in the future.

As always, it seems the best part of Bendy isn't actually anything about canon but about what the fan's are creating with the ideas Bendy failed to do anything interesting with.

Also the books, the books slap.

#batim #batdr #bendy and the ink machine #bendy and the dark revival #ramblez #bendy and the silent city #bendy the cage #for the record another reason Im making this post is bc some of the only good resources to learn abt why the bendy devs suck are some old #very longer videos and this is a very long post but I thought it was important to document the recent shit theyve been doing alongside some #of the worst past things theyve done bc Mike has been trying to misinform people on what happened but those videos are still great resource #if you want more info n such #long post #mike D #for anyone who doesnt wanna hear abt him since he doesnt go by mood anymore #sorry if this is rambley or emotional Im just so sick of these guys fr dskjhgskdfjghskdjhgkjhsd #I miss when I didnt spend my days stressed about the awful shit mike is gonna say next and how I would have to disprove it in a post later #or explain why its bad to have a cast of nothing but cishet white guys n constantly fight back against any push for diversity in said cast #genuinely its just tiring esp when u see other bendy fans give ignorant or very silly defenses/takes on those things #n then u lose a lot of respect for them bc they are speaking on stuff they dont know much abt so confidently and therefore misinforming #people or even encouraging very bad views on stuff like diversity n its importance #Im not saying people like that are bad people but it is stressful n upsetting when u see someone u thought knew better do that sort of thin #it makes it hard to trust them again on other issues bc u now dont trust they know what they r talking abt!!#like please think twice before telling young artists making norman white was a tough and complicated decision it was fucking not the bendy #devs just think all their humans are white by default and dont wanna change that its been proven time n time again thats all it is #and defending them just bc u like a franchise they made is very very bad!! They are not ur friends!! they suck and we seriously need to #stop pretending they dont!! toxic positivity is only gonna make the fandom an absolute nightmare its not gonna make ANYTHING better #it just means people will be forced to PRETEND they never have negative thoughts abt the franchise n therefore make them burned out #just look at other similar fandoms please lets not make those same mistakes!!#sorry can u tell Ive been having just. A time recently #anyways back to making my queer ass bendy fan game full of so much diversity mike will prolly shit when he sees it DKFJGHKSDJHGKJHSD

Oh my fucking god the Raph and Don parallels are so much fucking worse. They sound like each other when they think and speak. Insisting “I love you” against a locked door. The last part of Raph’s chapter feels like the scene where Donnie reminisces on the time after Shredder. His monologue at the beginning literally sounds like Donnie begging for forgiveness from his brother in CL. “I wanna be worth it” you’re both SICK in the head.

HHHHHHhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

leo and donnie may be twinning hard right now but raph and donnie are doing some fuckinnnn!!! PARALLELS!!!!!! CL being so long and having so much to take from for things like this really helps pound in the way that the roles have been reversed after the curse breaks; how they cant do much but work, how they can only love from afar, how they can give and give and give but it wont get through to the person they want to love them the most, how desperate they are for normalcy and simplicity and the donnie they used to have .......

what a terrible way to finally be able to empathize with your emotionally unavailable brother.

that scene where they talk about the stuff they miss is also kind of intended to be a parallel to the family meeting,,,, but donnie's missing from it. they're not saying this to him. because he opened himself up and took their punishment but he wont so easily do the same with their love. haha painful! :D

#ask #canary continuity #i dont plan every parallel out before writing it #so sometimes i get an IDEA and i cackle like a madman LMAO #also for the record when i say empathize with him i dont mean that theyve never been compassionate #theyve always shown donnie nothing but compassion. the innerworkings of his brain just get lost on them #leo arguably understands him the best and he still mentions how often curveballs get thrown at him LMAO #i dont even think donnie's TRYING most of the time. its just hard to communicate feelings he's bad at reading himself #but now they get it. more than ever. they understand what he was trying to say before this all started #when he dedicated so much of his time to his work #its like the same thesis as coming undone but delivered in the most soul-crushing way i possibly couldve delivered it in #LOLLLLLL #also putting a reminder of myself to use the stickman covered in blood reaction image i used here #because its literally leo in CW chapter 14 (DONT WORRY ABOUT IT /lie)

wow so watcher just singlehandedly killed their channel

#i get wanting to ensure your company is profitable but moving everything onto a streaming service aint it chief #we are in a cost of living crisis and you want people to pay for another service?#when most are cancelling the ones they already have?#what are they thinking #‘we wanted to keep the price low enough to make it affordable for everyone’ whos everyone? i cant afford 60-72 dollars a year #and thats in usd #for me thats 93-112 bucks a year and thats not happening #how they didnt just start with a channel membership is beyond me #this was such a short sighted and out of touch idea #and theyve already started archiving their videos which makes the whole thing feel so disingenuous #and moving everything off youtube will mean theyll have no subscriber growth bc how are people supposed to discover them?#the comments on the video are so cordial everyone is saying this stuff by the hundreds #so heres hoping they roll it back #even their reasons for it being they cant do bigger production shows bc of their budget #people dont watch you for the production #i for one was a little put out when they started overproducing their shows it felt like they were trying to hard #its always been about their personalities #i just cant believe they didnt think this through #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #hey there demons it’s me ya boy #watcher #buzzfeed unsolved #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #ghoul boys #ghost files

unpopular opinion but i really hope they fix the core four's dynamic in s5

#theyve been so seperated and even in the new dustin book ig lucas and mike didnt care for dustins project??#or smth along those lines #im sure s5 will fix that but rn theyre kinda hard to like as a group atm #probably intentional though bc a lot of it is due to lucas and mike's personal character arcs #what happens when u try too hard to be normal lol

#i needed some minutes to get my thoughts together but this is a more cohesive ... thing of what i feel? idk #i feel like theres just no balance. obvs they debuted at a difficult time and it wouldve been hard to push it back bc of the members etc #its either theyre ignored (quite literally) or they get fucked over. why is there no balance between keeping their essence and also promo #like its SM's fucking fault that they didnt reach their actual potential. and it's their fault on how they handled lu/as' scandal.#if you weren't going to add him back to the group. why did you waste almost two years of their time for no reason? i just dgi. it always #makes me feel sad to see that clip of ten spoiling phantom at a kick back stage. they had their next cb planned like... idek #i feel from omy onwards when they shifted under prism. theyve had a different sound and their focus feels just on the kn audience #which is WILD. they have 127 and dream as it is. and it was a wayv song that got cn banned from being sung on national tv so... ?#sm wants cn money but no effort with their cn group. and this comeback has just pissed me off ngl. i like the songs and the aes but what #is the aim? what audience are we trying to cater to? krn? global? cn? okay. you fucked up in the past but look at what the fans are saying #what they like. phantom was their cb and it broke records. personal and otherwise. why arent we sticking to this? why arent are there no cn #bsides. and ill never forgive them for blaming wayv and kun. i really never will.#and about the sc situation. i think he can do as he pleases and im happy with whatever he picks. but the purposeful sabotaging of wayv & him #shifting the dates so he cant participate. .. SM you'll implode by my hand i promise. and then his fans coming to shit on wayv like they #personally told him not to participate. ridiculousness from both sides.#i don't think its that hard to experiment but also stay with what was liked originally. if theyre a chinese group. give them some cn songs.#to add on. i personally believe they shifted the dates bc lu/as debut was a complete money waste and they desperately needed another avenue.#egg.co

Reasons you love whisperain

Her most characteristics trait people overlook from her

And favourite ships with her innit

-M

Hhmhmm,

When i first saw her it was sorta love at first sight, like, ohhh a gloomy looking cool jellyfish medic with an eyepatch!!! Then when i got to her lore it's so like, her weird form of immortality, her only barely remembered past life(?) connection to the seaborn, her past travels as a wandering medic/in her previous lives. It's really fun to think about what she could've been up to and who she could've met. Also she's so pretty and so cute and i love her reserved but extremely gentle personality.

As for her overlooked traits, i can't really blame people bc it is like, 1 (one) voiceline, but

This thing and its implications for her have been driving me insane ever since she dropped in global. What did she see????? Where has she been??? I barely see stuff exploring it from anyone else and it makes me a bit sad

My fave Whispy pairings lately have been her and Andreana's narratively neglected purple girls' club, and aside from that Weedyrain is always a classic (Weedy building an entire movietheater for Whisperain in her oprec for example is so romance)

I tend to um, whimsically pair her up with whomever I'm feeling at the time, for ex. in that church of the deep au/theory of mine i was thinking she'd go well in a tense yuri thing with Amaia :3. Also her voicelines and profile mention Warfarin a lot, so that's also a rarepair i enjoy (even if im the only one to do so waaah). Gameplay synergy wise she goes together so well with Blaze i cant help but also like them together :).

Then there's of course the pretty nice pairing with Dusk (girl who creates art to deal with the horrors vs girl who enjoys art to deal with the horrors, grumpy reserved girl vs kind reserved girl alliance, them both enjoying movies, Whisperain's past allowing her to have met whomever in a past life she doesn't remember and the implications for that with Dusk....)

Basically she never gets anything canon ever at all so in my despair I've taken to playing with her & anyone available like dolls. It's great fun, highly recommend (join me join me join me)

#arknights #iii could probly write a full essay on all my fave whispy rarepairs but mayhaps i wont put that all in one post #i did make my whispy rarepairs collection post a while back but since then theres been new ones so honestly i should make a new one #every day i work so very hard to advocate for whisperain yuri in my neglected blorbo mines #with andreana me & my buddies have been going pretty wild with the lore i should um post about it sometime here as well #liike you know theyve both got only vaguely remembered seaborn connections which theyre sorta running away from.#what if you put them together on a field mission in iberia and everything regarding that went wrong at once & they had to crawl their way #back to rhodes somehow while trying to cling to their humanity/current life :) enriching #asks

oh my GOD ?

AUGHHH

#thank you nocommentary on youtube for having videos of every single frame of funger LOL #this is making me feel ill. SAMARIE :(#her obsession with marina a result of feeling as if they are closer than they Actually are bc shes been constantly reading her mind and--#--fixating on her as the single bright point in her short life how hard she tries to be kind when shes no actual idea what kindness even is #the video also had all party members reacting to the flesh pillar marinas dad got turned into trying to comfort her. o'saa initially--#--coming across solely as self aggrandizing while rlly he is trying to tell her that her father was a weak man who put the gods before--#--all else- feeding into marinas own front of disgust and anger at the man as she tries to push back the softer emotions- is SO much #all interest in other new playable contestants has died i need to see samarie party talk NOW #marinas tendency to draw in other ppl who feel as if their lives are over b4 theyve even rlly gotten a chance to start (levi + samarie). hm

Helloooo popping in to say I love your art! It’s cute and feels soft (reminds me of when you’ve got a really smooth pencil and it just ghosts across the paper) but your poses and anatomy also give it a good feeling of realism :D

classic question here; do you have anything you’d say is a big influence on your art? I love seeing what people answer and trying to connect it back to the kind of thing they currently make :]

!! thank u!!! i do wish i could get more creative with angles, but im happy knowing my art gives u that feeling ^_^

I really enjoy comics!! I like poking thru graphic novels and webcomics, so I've fallen into the habit of exposing myself to lots of different styles over time that I'm fairly explorative with my art. It gives me a lot to study, especially since different artists have different strengths and preferences

I also think of myself as a simple person, so I'm not strongly attached to anything in particular... I notice a lot of artists find their ground in certain interests or aesthetics. But since I'm not really like that, I try to put a bit of myself in whatever I draw to connect with my art better. Its probably why I like taking creative liberty when making fanart lol

im also drawn to indie creative work like games and animation! they tend to be extremely varied and unique from each other, which is great since I work from my own sense of curiosity. I also hate repetition, so having things that set themselves apart visually or otherwise is something I like to look for.

#thank u for sending this in!!! i had fun answering this.. i had to think really hard so im glad it helped me do some reflection ^_^#on top of all this im a very visual person so i look at things if theyre eyecatching and then see if i like it for any of these qualities #afterwards.. so i do tend to lean to cutesy styles like soft shapes and big eyes but i wouldnt go as far as making it a calling card for my #art style since i love to keep shaking things up whenever i can. if that makes sense? or u could say im impulsive and u would be right #i rly like gigi dg and plushpon since theyve been a huge inspiration for my art over time.. as for comics i remember being really into #always raining here and colorless... its been a while since ive looked at any webcomics though so maybe i should make time to do that #BONE was one of my favorites as a kid because of the storytelling and art style even if i could never read the books in order #although im also really picky so even if i dont have a set taste there are some things i dont really find interesting like superhero comics #i do wish i had an interest that i could pour my art into instead of just drawing whatever on a whim #i think nature comes pretty close but thats more of an appreciation than smth like. birdwatching or camping or animals #so rather than wanting my art to be known for a certain thing i think ill try and be happy with drawing things i know i like and people #liking whatever that might be. shrugs #yapping #ask
