I doodled my Strayed!AU Bloodmoon, but with that one trend(?):

“Do you think we’re friends in every universe?”

(And individual panels + IDs below):

[goatpaste]

I remember a post you made forever ago about Spice Girl Reqiuem, could you draw them again?

yeyeye its been forever, I had to really go dig this up and play around with the design :)

I just think Trish shoulda gotten the chance to kill her dad <3

Nightcall by Kavinsky is Jay and Tim in Sorry It's Locked :3

yeyeye

honestly the line "i'm gonna tell you something you don't wanna hear" just makes me think of if Jay survived MH again and how eventually Tim would have to break it to him that they can't stay together if Jay keeps refusing to go to therapy etc. Oh god that'd be so awful for Tim as well, because he'd know Jay's had like, idk trauma surrounding break ups and people leaving him, so having to be the one to leave Jay, knowing how badly he'll probably self destruct would be fucking awful. he'd feel so guilty. But it wouldn't be healthy to stay together.

tim would definitely want to stay friends, but i honestly don't think that would really work in the long run either. Jay would resent Tim for breaking up with him and probably kinda feel like "well if we're going to remain friends why did you even break up with me in the first place" even though he knows that's irrational and that their friendship and their romantic relationship are very different from each other.

hiiiii! i noticed your ask box is open and wanted to ask: can you do a baizhu x black reader, and he’s trying to do her hair?

Yeyeye

Baizhu doing black! Reader’s hair

Ok he doesn’t have much experience with hair that isn’t straight

Both he and Qiqi have straight hair, so he doesn’t get much practice

BUT!!! He will learn for you

Since he can’t get YouTube tutorials, he’ll find books

Ask around for good products to use

This man does his research, bc above all else, he wants you to be happy and healthy

He’s also SUPER busy all the time tho, so it will take some time to get the knowledge and practice he needs

But when he gets the opportunity, he will sit you down and try

He’s better at twists than anything else, but locs are good too

Braids will take him some time to learn, as will cornrows and other styles

But hey, he’s trying

He really likes doing your hair. It’s a nice way to relax after doing so much work

He will have to take breaks due to his health, since he doesn’t have the most stamina, especially in his arms

At the end of it tho, you will have a beautiful head of whatever hairstyle you ask for

He’s lowkey fascinated by your hair texture, since he doesn’t get to play around with it that often

Bonus: changsheng likes sitting on top of your head, regardless of your hair texture, bc it’s warm and your hair feels nice

I hope this is okay! I myself am not black, but I’ve been learning more about black hairstyles and textures for art purposes, as well as my boyfriend. Lmk if I did smth weird or wrong and I’ll correct it <3

YEYEYE I agree that Bad gaining Philza's support would be incredibly good for him. Philza is probably the most trusted person on the server with a stable sleep schedule, and I think he would bring good ideas to the table on what to do.

I have mixed feelings on the debates personally. I feel like the native English speakers will have an advantage as they will probably be in English, and tbh from what I understand so much nuance can be lost between languages.

Personally I hope they have some sort of in-person translator so people feel like they can use their native languages but I know it probably won't happen 😔

Anon whoops is cute :3

Yeah fully agree with you on how the debates could be heavily biased in the native English speakers favor. Im really hoping that they figure out a better way of translating for the debates, because they’ll be really important. I have high hopes for Quackity Studios in finding a solution for that, because like you said, a lot can get lost between languages.

AND YES YES YES Philza could be such a good ally! He has a ton of respect, and is seen as a generally pretty level headed guy (also his audience is fairly large, so audience votes yay!). I cannot wait to see how this goes tomorrow.

So I recently finished Halo Infinite and I loved it, my thoughts on peak modern Halo

So I just finished Halo Infinite and it was fucking amazing. My favorite of the 3 Halo games I played recently, and one of my favorites overall I think, especially narratively. A genuinely moving experience that takes some of the best aspects of 343's previous games in Halo 4 and Wars 2 and even pretty much corrects the story fuck ups with Cortana in 5 and manages to even turn them into something positive. From Halo Wars 2 it takes the amazing new antagonists in the Banished, the classic Halo inspired art direction, and the fun that I felt from Wars 2 with our new AI and Pilot friends being super endearing and even bringing more personality out of Master Chief then I think he's ever shown maybe next to Halo 4.

And speaking of Halo 4, what Halo Infinite takes from that game is the more personal and emotional writing, with this game also acting as a very effective introspection into good ol John Halo, Cortana and even our new AI and pilot friends. And when I say that this game actually managed to take Halo 5's trash story and do something positive with it, they actually run back the complete villainizing of her motives of… wanting world peace and her own autonomy, even if they try to explain that she killed a bunch of people but I honestly still think that anyone opposing her was probably the type of violently fascist asshole she was calling out anyway. But they do actually express a lot more empathy for her perspective in Halo Infinite, throughout the story they explore John's grief over loosing Cortana beautifully and you eventually find out that she had sacrificed herself to make things right and destroyed a part of the Halo ring to stop the Banished from using it as a weapon. In the end, she leaves some last messages to John, telling him how happy he made her and that she wished for him and his new AI friend to not make the same mistakes she did before saying goodbye one final time which just made me break down in tears.

In the end we also find out the name of our pilot, Fernando Esparza, and he asks our AI friend for her name. So earlier in the game it's said that she was created to help catch Cortana, she comes to the realization that it's because she is a copy of Cortana, made from the same original programming but the thing is, she still very much develops into her own person with her personality and identity and just like Cortana, at the very end of the game gets to choose her own name WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED FOR THE END OF HER ARK but then they DONT TELL YOU WHAT SHE CHOSE WHAT THE FUCK!?!?! That part was disappointing and I'm hoping so hard it's not Cortana because that would just completely ruin both the idea of her being her own person and John moving on. I've read people online mentioning that Cortana was named after some historic sword, and so were suggesting Joyeuse for our new AI friend which is also a historic sword and it can be shortened to Joy which would just be perfect for her more optimistic and fun personality. In fact I love Joy as her name so much that I will use that for convenience until she is officially given a name.

So before I talk about Chief and Joy more, I just have to mention that I also really love the ark for Fernando as well, who early on is a contrast to Joy's YEYEYE over Chief's wild plans by being the NONONO person, which you find out later might be because he's not actually a pilot but or solider at all and was actually just doing volunteer work on that human ship from the start and stole a Pelican when the Banished attacked. He stole it and ran which is why he's developed this intense imposter syndrome and feels so bad that after one of the levels, when you return to him he breaks down and explains everything, saying that Chief should just leave him with the garbage of the ship graveyard. But Chief in this moment shows a lot of empathy, telling him that everybody makes mistakes but that he has to keep going, and reassuring him that everything will be ok and, I just really love the Master Chief being this super inspiring figure that everyone can turn to. I mean that's always been the case but, seeing more intimate moments like this is just really sweet.

So Joy and Fernando both get great arks, but something else I really appreciated about this game is what it does for Master Chief as a character. Much like Halo 4 he gets a bit of analysis into who he is a person, but this game arguably does it even better and is able to give John a happier ending. Even if it doesn't necessarily offer solutions to everything he's got going on, it does at least shine a light on certain things. Something I was critical of John for in Halo 5 was his inability to see past his narrow view of the world, labeling anything he can't quickly understand as "dangerous" which is a very direct pipeline to deranged bigotry and refusal to understand other people because it's easier to be negative and Halo 5 never really called him out on this, unlike Halo Infinite. Infinite actually addresses this, with Joy calling out how pessimistic and close minded he is. Later on Fernando questions why John is so often able to kill things and risk his life which he bluntly just responds with that "it's all I know." Even later I think Joy brings up something similar to which John replies that "maybe that's my programming." Which is actually a perfect way of putting it, indoctrination and conditioning is literally a human equivalent of "programming" and John was abducted into the military at a young age and has literally been conditioned to be a killing machine who always follows orders and never asks questions. And it's what the fascists of the right wing are still trying to do children, passing on their irrational hate of minorities and woman while burning any learning resources to help understand and empathize with those people. They are grooming children into being hateful bigots like they are, essentially trying to create another generation of little nazis and maintain their cishet white man supremicist agenda. So exploring that sort of topic with Master Chief, about human programming, having a narrow view of the world and learning to have an open mind to new things and unlearn the harmful things, it's very topical and much appreciated. And Joy and Fernando are able to get Master Chief to open up and self reflect, especially his new AI bestie Joy and it has a noticeably positive effect on him. They also bring more personality out of Chief than I think he's ever had.

Halo Infinte has some of the most emotional storytelling and best character work in the series, and while the villains don't get the same amount of depth, The Banished are still great antagonists for this story. Something I have to mention though is that in my previous post, I mentioned that I couldn't believe Atriox was dead because they set him up perfectly as a villain for Chief to overcome and killing him off screen would have been ridiculous. Well the good news is that he doesn't die which they reveal at the last minute in a post credits scene, the bad news is that he obviously doesn't really show up again in this game. The Banished think he died and this new Jiralhanae Esscharum takes over who is pretty cool as well although I'm excited for Artiox to come back. Esscharum though, he's well built up throughout this game and this is where I have to talk about the last few levels leading up to his boss fight. The Road gives you a final tank in a fittingly epic final vehicle battle in a big ass hallway, and then the House of Reckoning is such a cool idea that's reminiscent of… I guess Lucas from Resident Evil 7 is a good example? The "putting you through a bunch of deadly trials while I talk shit" type of section, and I really like idea of these trials taking place in an obstacle course where the Banished were trained to kill humans. Which is then followed up by a fight with one of the coolest characters and best boss fights in the game, the right hand Sanghelli of Esscharum Jega 'Rdomnai. An unapologetically edgy Sanghelli with black armor, a red energy sword in one hand and a red wrist blade on the other and I love him so much. He stealths around a lot with his active camo, popping in and out and he's got some sick moves, very cool. Then after that you finally get your boss fight with Esscharum who is much more up front, big and carrying a portable turret that he swaps out for a special red energy gravity hammer in his final phase. That's right, it's a multi phase fight where in his second phase he gets an energy shield that you have to disrupt up shooting these wires that are giving it to him and then he busts out his hammer, it's a very fun multi layered fight. I forgot to mention but Esscharum had captured Fernando before this, so you rescue him and then get a nice moment of Chief showing some empathy for his enemy, explaining that even he despite being on the opposing side was fighting for something he thought was right which again is just more humanity then Chief often shows.

For the final level Chief, Joy and Fernando go after our final boss, main antagonist and brand new character for this series or at least for the games because I'm not familiar with the books, Xalanyn or as she is better known the Harbinger. So before I mentioned that this game adds a lot of it's own interesting aspects on top of the best stuff from 343's previous games and Xalanyn is one of them. She is said to be from an ancient race that seems to be mostly gone except for her, and they seem to have an old rivalry with the other ancient race of the Forunners and so she's not really a fan of a lot of what they built including the Halo super weapons. I believe she teamed up with the Banished to help them wipe out the humans and make this Halo ring their new home if they also help her revive the rest of her people, who I believe have only been known as The Endless. So the Harbinger is a pretty cool new antagonist for this game, and the fight with her is pretty great as well. Her and another boss I'm going to mention in a bit were the only completely unique bosses in the game, and she's a lot of fun to fight with her cool moveset of fireballs, teleports and melee, fighting other enemies in between round while you shut off the various things, genuinely tough fight that took me a few attempts and was fun.

Which leads me to talking about a few of the other cool new things in this game, one of them being the boss fights in general. Which I mentioned in my previous post, but now that I've finished the game I can say that they were consistently good throughout. I mean, none of them are the best in the video games but I mean good for first person shooters and especially for Halo. Another boss and character that I haven't had the opportunity to mention before now is the Oracle in this game, or specifically the second of 2 Oracles. The first Oracle you don't get to have much time with before she is killed by Xalanyn, but the second is friendly at first but becomes hostile once he learns that Chief is going to stop him from rebuilding the ring and you end up having to fight this robot twice. He is the other unique boss fight in this game and is also pretty fun, much more fun then fighting Guity Spark in Halo 3. Instead of just being a little ball, he becomes a park of this bigger robot that has a bunch of guns and shields on it with the red glowing guns being the weak points and you end up having to fight him twice. Super fun boss, and as a character he contributes a lot to the themes of this game as well, about what we choose and what is inherent, what has been programmed into use and choosing our own identity. This Oracle is clearly just following his programming of protecting the Halo ring the entire time and much like Guilty Spark, I feel sympathy for him because this wasn't something he chose, these feelings aren't his but were given to him by someone else and he clearly hasn't developed his own personality and opinions like Cortana for example was able to do.

Other new things were stuff that I also mentioned in my previous post, but the grapple hook really is the coolest thing added to Halo since ever that adds a lot of new layers to the combat. The thing is thought that you get new stuff replaces the grapple hook later one, and while you do carry them all and swap between them, swapping between them takes too long for my liking and nothing else is as universally helpful or cool as the grapple hook and I literally never used anything else. Another interesting new addition is the open world, which pretty much took the second and fourth levels of Halo 1 and made it into the whole game. Which is a cool idea, the large environments and open ended environments with a bunch of side missions are an interesting change of pace and in the middle of the game you do get some main missions that involve going around to various place to blow up big guns or activate these beacons which you can do in any order which is cool. BUT this is where my biggest complain of this game comes in and it's the only big one I have, but the lack of environmental diversity. It's nothing but grass and mountains outside and grey Forunner rooms inside which is easily the least amount of environment diversity in the series and towards the end of the game, I'll admit that I was getting sick of looking at this game and wanted it to end. While the core gameplay is a lot of fun, this game gets very repetitive by the second half and the samey environments do not help that. I think having at least a snow biome would have helped a lot, maybe a spooky swamp like in the sixth level of Halo 1 or a desert like in the 6th level Halo 3.

All around though I really enjoyed my time with Halo Infinite, a really fun game with a genuinely moving story that that some very compelling things with both familiar and new characters. Seriously Chief, Joy and Fernando are a great best friend trio. One of the better Halo games in my opinion and overall the best 343 game. A big step in the right direction and in the future I would like to see more narrative and character complexity like Infinite, 2 and 4, maybe not bring back the open world but if they do PLEASE have more environmental diversity, and I honestly think 343 has mastered the core gameplay so just have more weapons and vehicles and enemies to fight. Also PLEASE do something with Atriox, let Master Chief finally get his rematch.

U should definitely be more active on here yesyes I agree bc we should be friends 🙏 /j /nf

OKAY BUT FR I think you are one of the most intimidating people I follow on here, i don’t know why 😭 You just seem so fucking cool that it scares me and I will literally drop my jaw when I see you interact w my posts

It might be due to the fact I see you as such a vital part of the Black Christmas fandom?? yeyeye idk LOL you’re very cool and i love seeing you on my dashboard 🙏

I need you to know that this actually made my heart like. Swell. Like tears welled up in my eyes and I'm being so serious

The asks I got have genuinely made me lose it /pos I'm so fucking HONORED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Also I'm so totally up for being friends! :) 'm just very very awkward 90% of the time and can't speak for myself, but I really love when people talk to me even if sometimes I can't manage to get a response out

YOU ALL SEEM SO FUCKING COOL TO ME!!! AND IM SO INTIMIDATED BY ALL OF YOU!!!

Genuinely there are a ton of people on here that I also view the same as you view me (which is so strange because I've never really thought of myself like that even though I've been here a good long while) lots of people I see as vital to this communities activity, form and shape, and I also jaw drop when they interact with my stuff

All of you are very very talented and I love all of you dearly <3

[hostilemuppet]

OMG r u watch scott pilgrim takes off?? me too !! i hope u enjoy it, and dont worry about not seeing the movie or reading the comics the animated show is its own thing! i hope u like roxie when she shows up <3

yeyeye i know its just like an animated adaption of the comic. i really like the art style i was like JUST thinking about how it feels like theres no new cartoons coming out with thick lines (dont fact check me on whether thats true or not i dont care) and its very cute. i think its always impressive when a cutesy art style can still convey "this character is meant to be hot as fuck" without it feeling out of place

[artyfartyperson]

you do not have to answer ALL of these ofc im just kind of rambling HEHHEE. okay so.!!!

do you have any particular story behind kais arm burn and gold tooth??

why is lloyds gi sleeveless/has a different sleeve design than the rest? tbh i can see kai and cole taking their sleeves off but not so much lloyd..

are there any meanings/inspiration the sash designs + end tassles come from or are they just Aesthetic? same question for nya and jays gloves!!!

does cole have a ponytail/bun? it kinda looks like he does but ita so dark i can't really tell JGJGNFJG

also just take this as an opportunity to talk about any of the design things you want!!! and like i said if you only answer one or two (or none!!!) of these that's totally good!!! :] im just a curious guy sometimes HGHGJDJF

Yeyeye! I can answer all of them :))))

1. I have a. story for Kai’s arm, it’s got to do with my oc Akako in my AU! It’s around the finale of Season 2, when they’re on the Dark Island. Akako wants to prove to Garmadon that she’s good enough to keep (maybe there’s a conflict or a threat that the Overlord/Garmadon will leave her on the Dark Island while they return to ninjago.) So this time she doesn’t hold back, and neither do the ninja considering she’s been a thorn in their side for some time.

They aren’t exactly aware of her element, and how it works until it’s too late. Any damage she takes she can use it against others, though at the cost of her having to deal with those wounds. This includes elements (if she was struck by Jay she can zap him back ❤️)

Thus, Kai attempts to finish her off once and for all, and stabs her with his sword (im pretty sure their weapons at the time can harness their elements). Akako while decently hurt, uses this as a final opportunity to attack before fleeing (or before going insane who knows (i don’t)). She attempts to absolutely incinerate him but he’s only able to dodge so much and gets burnt really badly on his arm. He takes the gap between season 2 and season 3 (maybe even up until 4) to recover properly. And when she eventually does get her goofy redemption arc he’s the last person to trust her.

As for his gold tooth I’d imagine he got it knocked out around season 5 and got the gold filler before or at the start of season 6 to show off honestly. I think it suits him 🦐

2. Lloyds gi is sleeveless because i thought it’d look decent enough 💀 He’s admittedly a little thinner/lankier than the others though so I might go back to him wearing a tank top or something underneath. He does have gloves that go really high up his arms, so he’s covered up a little bit. Those are just concept sketches I made on a whim however, I’m working on the proper reference as we speak :)

3. There’s somewhat of a connection yes :) Though i need to figure out the plot reason behind it, I do know that they’re based off the tassels of Akako

The season I’m making that those gi appear in is a season based around her, so I thought it’d be neat for their designs to all tie together!

I actually did take a bit of inspiration from Sky: Children of Light, and their cape outfits. There’s a certain cape with tassels coming from them and I thought that’s be cool to incorporate and personalise for each ninja. It’s also a callback to back in 2017/2018 where when I drew them as silly little stickmen I liked to draw their tassels differently! Akako is a reworked oc from back then as well (vomits)

Nya and Jays gloves are more of an aesthetic choice for me, but I do take a lot of inspiration from steven universe and their designs sometimes. With Nya specifically I loved the one fingered gloves that Sardonyx from Steven Universe wear :)

4. That is indeed a Cole man bun he has too much hair for his own good

5. *breathes in sleeveless designs* I like the season 4 designs so much they are my absolute favourite of the bunch! So idk i thought it’d be cool. I have such a soft spot for season 4 oml (i have trauma from season 4 I WROTE A FANFICTION OF SEASON 4 WHERE I INSERTED MY OC INTO IT BUT I WROTE IT WHEN I WAS 10 AND HER NAME WAS SKYLER AND I SHIPPED HER WITH JAY AND KAI HAD A CRUSH ON HER AND SHE WAS LLOYDS COUSIN AND NAWWWWWWW

NAWWWWWW)

yeah i’m so normal about season 4 designs

[eyenaku]

For your priority list for the order you want to get them in you might want to move the gamestop exclusive plushies higher than the rest of the funko merch. Store exclusives tend to sell out faster and resellers sometimes snap them up. Youtooz like you said is probably the most limited though (lots of youtooz resellers as well OTL). Godspeed Eyenaku! Apologies if this is just repeating info you were already aware of.

yeyeye my order of priority was/is:

yootooz>gamestop jumbos>smaller funko stuff

there's no gamestops where i live so i'm kinda relying on luck and fast timing to grab em online,, which i sorta forgot abt,,,,,, so i really appreciate this!! <3 mwah

[seven-thewanderer]

Hey yall, very random…

Do yall wanna see some Flower Cow/Floserd anatomy? (it’s for my original species :3)

[paradoxgavel]

i’m not exactly sure what happened to you but i’m so sorry it did. no one should treat you or anyone else in your shoes with that much disrespect :/

on a more positive note i hope today goes better for you!! you just gotta get through today then you’ll have a small break!!

Aw, thank you! <3 Yeah, yesterday it was just some folks being really aggressive jerks for no good reason, paired with it being one of those days where it seems like everything that could go wrong did. I felt like a total zombie by the time I was done. Days like those suck, but, hey, I survived it at least!

And yeyeye just today left until I can take some time for myself to chill out! I'm super excited! ;v;

[mattibee]

im sorry even cartoon i just have bad feelings when seeing blood but sorry I didnt mean to worry or nothing!

yeyeye no worries anon!! I really don't reblog it that much so hopefully it doesnt cause you too much issue, but dont feel bad about having to unfollow or anything okey, take cares :3

[yingfelis]

Oooh a new HSR writer! Welcome to Tumblr, I saw you're new :3

[daemonhxckergrrl]

yeyeye i think editor and shell tend toward multiple files bc they cover multiple things, my i3 should really be like 2 files instead of...4 ?? 5 ???? relic of a project i never finished (i was looking into the idea of 'universal' dotfiles but it doesn't really work like that. i'm sure a solution will emerge in time, but again it gotta emerge - and we all know how long those can take ;3 )

yeag my polybar also 2 files bc 2 bars but i might be moving to a diff bar when i go to wayland idk. future me problem

"modularlity needs to follow the modularity of the thing you're working w/" physical architecture should follow logical architecture. which, having searched up those terms is apparently an actual way of doing system modelling xD

mhm right, i don't OOP but that does make sense !! and again there's a correlation between the logical parts of your application and the way it's 'physically' organised. mechanically organised ? yeag if you need more than one file in python you need to switch to a proper language d:

sometimes the simplest viable architecture is 1 (one) file. you hate it but i'm right
