IM BACK!!

I've finally returned to the world of the living as I have graduated from college to become a free artist and again be a member of the Snowbaird society!! ò0ó Can’t believe it myself if I'm quite honest

But yes the last three months I was heavily busy with my final projects and could only occasionally post content, The capitol and District AU suffered more from it as I like to plan every artwork through with lore and details.

Thank you @burntblueberrywaffles for making me a masterlist as my now official wiki page, dear lord gods work

But one good thing came from it, the GOOSEY GRAY AU! One of the greatest things the tbosas fandom has ever witnessed don’t deny it u know it‘s true. The silly goose and her duckie husband will stick around! 🪿

I have also been working on a three-chapter one shot called ✨ Deep in the Meadow ✨ based on the three-part artwork of Clementine and the Fireflies, getting supported and coached by my silly little author Fwiendo @spoomed there will be lots of momma Lucy Gray and clementine content and a dive into their relationship!! coryo is also allowed to be there if he behaves and eats his veggies

But before that comes to be here a handful sneak peek of what is to come! ✨

Last Important Note

I will be posting for the Snowbaird smut week in August, I‘m gonna be properly tagging the content so that the people who don’t want to see it, don’t have to ^^ For everyone who is looking forward to it, I got some things cooking up! Every AU of mine (except Goosey Gray) will be included! 🥀🌹

Until then Seeeee yaaa!!

i yet again do NOT understand why people think that what happened to steven in future came out of nowhere. the main show beats it into the ground how fucked up all this stuff has him! just cause he ends the main show in a good place doesnt mean that everything was solved! he solved the gem stuff but not himself, that was the whole point!

like. those people show that they didnt even pay attention to the show AND they dont understand trauma. like. shut the fuck up !!!!

[b4kuch1n]

yay! I drew these quite literally three years ago. dragonheart!milo and raihan! a knight on a doomed dragon hunt being lifted out of his station by a small village medicine man. together they become magic lawyers and overthrow the government

the main details in these do survive into the iterations I’ve drawn (instead of these actual designs I spent time to make el oh el): the “leaf” diamond quilt/gambeson and the plaited coattail for milo, the “atypical” weapons, long coat, and large number of scattered fake gold trims and accessories for raihan. I think I lost raihan the hat and added a cape for milo further down the line because like this their general silhouettes are too similar for my liking lol

[pansoriion]

Started watching severance because of posts about red valley parallels, and being only 3 episodes in I’m thinking: mark is warren, helly is aubrey, and I can’t wait to keep watching this show is so good what

[cherrychapstiq]

I'm pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed first episode.

Like I know, we were so excited, but I had my doubts..

But OMG I love it.

I might have been worried, because I think First and Khaotung have the ability to outshine others on screen. Both with acting and their chemistry.

So I'm really impressed with Jong and Dunk. I can't wait to see more of them 🥹

I needed something to shut my brain, after work so I think this show is perfect for that 🫡

Also what THE FUCK HAPPENED TO FIRST 🥵

Ah.. ofc I didn't forget about tattoos.. the ones on his arms are not that bad.. but that thing on his chest..

At one point it was peeling, like those temporary tattoos, that you got in a bag of chips 😂

[piecesofchess]

So anyway. Finished ZigZag today. I get I've already blabbed a lot about my experience with Arc 2 so far but I'll be collecting all my thoughts below just to log things for myself. Thanks to everybody who added their thoughts to my previous posts about all the P101 Updates.

The obvious thing out of the way -- the new voice acting is meh is at best, but I understand the situation around that and know much can't be done atm. I lament Catbeard having no presence in the story because of it though, and I feel like if he *had* we could've gotten an interesting/funny response to that whole "starting the war" thing, lol. Loved seeing Contessa finally getting to be around more.

Sinbad is fine and I like him, he got better later on. The business in Marleybone had me hooked getting to hear of Napoleguin and seeing Meowiarty again (although I wish more could be elaborated + explored about him and his situation) , but my god. My GOD. That dungeon going after Wheeler is one of the worst fucking things I have ever been through in the game. They seriously need to fix the enemies respawning and having our character locked in-place for post dialogue in there. Bran a Raven lord sucked ass, there was no real point to that whole Thing. But it's cool to see our actions on starting the war are facing consequences and all that.

The business in Aquila I really liked - I found myself thoroughly enjoying Hawkules' presence in the story. I just wish Tartarus played better on a technical level, as the environment is beautiful and I liked seeing Death again, everything was straight up my alley but I ended up getting aggravated with the map, broken quest things, etc. I KNOW KI has been informed of these bugs and I wonder just how much longer they'll sit there like the rest of the things needing fixed have been for years.

Krokotopia was...undermining and aggravating. As I said before, the map needs a serious fix on not forcing enemies to respawn in cramped areas that you need to revisit -- and everything just looks copy/pasted from Wiz and thrown together to be considered a 'new area'. I Just KNOW Krok can be a gorgeous place with a wonderful skyway of its own in Pirate -- just look at Mooshu and Marleybone -- but Kingsisle INSISTSSSSS that none of that can be done, even though it's been proven it can. But whatever. I doubt they will do a graphics re-haul of ZigZag anytime soon, even though I think it's the one new area that kind of needs it.

I'm reaaaally conflicted on this whole story thing. The whiplash of our parents saying 'Go to El Dorado! Don't go to El Dorado!' with KI clearly backtracking to say that it was all a trick from a Wizard just feels...confusing and lazy. Oksana would be a fine idea for an enemy -- in the game she belongs to. It's not that I'm against exploring magic and wizards in P101's story, but to have that replace the enemies we ALREADY HAVE and turn a 180 due to KI's rushed Book 15 update is. So disappointing. If our business with the Armada was finally done with, which it ISN'T, then maybe I'd feel more open to moving on with a different Main Villain or something.

These new worlds and updates are filled with issues regarding the quest mechanics (some question marks not changing, wrong companion models being used, empty dialogue box, no names in some of the dialogue boxes, some quests not being shown as completed even though they are, seeing Go to . , instead of area names, etc), map access still isn't there even though it would be nice to have, and you can still walk through some doors and walls in some areas. It's ridiculous things like these that prove to me time and time again these are being pushed / rushed out for the sake of content and to show that they are 'updating' the game.

Kingsisle...we have already been waiting for years, on what was considered a disappointing, rushed dungeon to end Book 15. I'm pretty sure a majority of us would be FINE waiting for a polished, fixed update. I get they don't have the same budget and team they used to, so updates like these will inevitably be underwhelming compared to Arc 1, but they could at least fix the bugs and make these a bit more playable.

The next update at least looks promising, as it is likely the Queen Elite are going to be in there, possibly Diego and Roberto (the two who I REALLY wanna see from the Wizard game!) and we will finally properly see Queen again...I can only hope KI won't mess it up by rushing the technical aspect of it. Blind Mew said he learned from his mistakes with Oksana, but the damage is done and she's already in the game, so I'm hoping the writing either gets better by integrating the Armada *properly* into it again, or Oksana just gets...better. I don't know.

--I know all of my opinions on this are pretty late, and most of these have already been expressed by other players, but I just had never been enticed by the premise of these updates, and I only enjoyed certain parts of it once I did play them. I am glad to see the crew's writing getting better, as it felt somewhat superficial in the beginning, and to see their dynamic again feels...so good. I genuinely missed them, the companions are one of my favorite things about the game.

I just hope my other favorite part of this game, i.e. the Armada, gets proper time in the story again. I will feel incredibly cheated if we never learn what happened to Kane's mind and how Phule and Queen are progressing with the current state of the Armada. I'm excited to get to know the Queen!Elite and if they'll have any proper names. But I am still craving a new world with its own skyway, or to explore the parts of Valencia we still can't access, and to see another puppet show in the future.

One last thing -- all of this felt worthless without a level cap increase. Hours of progress just to be at the same maximum level once all was said and done. Pouring hours into this just for the story is fine and all, but with dragged-out battles and challenging dungeons that give little reward, it feels like we're still sitting in one place despite moving forward. I hope KI finally implements what we want so we can finally feel like we're getting somewhere.

something i think about constantly is this one guy at the nursing home i used to work at whose hands and fingers had crumpled in on themselves, not as a fist but sorta like an accordian or a zigzag, where one set of joints was pulled into the palm but the tips of the fingers were pulled outwards

and the last time i was at my nana's, i noticed the tips of a couple of her fingers had something similar going on, where it looked like the tip of the middle was permantly pulled to the side, making it crooked at the end

and my mother of course with all the health problems as me has the same crooked fingers, all pulled in similar directions

all of them say that arthritis caused it

if i look at my own hands, the tip of my middle finger peels backwards, which i was told was a symptom of Ehlers-Danlos, hypermobility, where the fingers would overextend themselves. the knuckle of my ring ringer doesn't jut out as much either, and my pinkie fingers are typically stiff and lately, as i continue my treatment, it almost feels like they're getting pulled off to the side as well. ive even developed a small callous on the palm right below the pinkie, where the bone seems to press against (and theres no other reason i would have a callous there)

i also think about how arthritis is supposed to start in the extremities, the hands and feet, and again in my feet it's the pinkie toe that's crunched up and pulled to the side, and the pinkie toe which i first noticed was getting less crunched as i continue treatment

and it all just perfectly aligns with the muscle tension patterns characteristic of neander foot/morton's foot. the primary compensation pattern is turning the feet outwards (to make the big toe reach the ground properly), which overuses the fibularis muscles. the fibularis brevis muscle in particular connects to the beginning of the pinkie toe, like so

...so if that muscle is overtight, which toe is going to get pulled out of place first? the pinkie toe.

and all that would perfectly explain why overusing muscles can lead to arthritis, because that's what arthrtis is: muscles that get so, so, so overtight that the joints themselves can become damaged just from how hard the muscle is pulling on them, damage which accumulates overtime and gets progressively worse because, well, you can't just not use your muscles

and it's??? treatable??? even has a distinct cause???? im curing my own arthritis??????? hello???

[snailfen]

pause i just realized there are probably ii fans out there who watched cooking for the grater good and have no idea that gamey and window were actually hosts from different object shows and not just random extras for that episode and that made me feel older than anything in my life

[sealbee101]

WARNING : guy saying there opinion about a certain subject!!! do not take these seriously!! some of the stuff I say are based on my memories and I have the memory of a 1 month goldfish!!!

this discusses Keiko Yukimura and how cool she is and how she and Kuwabara should get more attention and how cool and epic they are

THESE CONTAIN SPOILERS (season 4, Makai Tournament and 3 Chapter Blackspecifically) GO WATCH YU YU HAKUSHO IF U HAVENT!!!! GO!! GO!!!!

why keiko and kuwabara r cool n awesome under cut v!!!

keiko deserve better and to beat yusuke stinky ass im so frustrated about the epilogue even til today im so mad Keiko literally deserved better she should’ve gotten what she wanted 

i will FOREVER be upset with how Keiko was handled in the epilogue and in general because all she is/was written as was someone who should endearingly yell “oh yusuke!!” and fall into his arms and swoon for him (which happened countless times in the shows 4 seasons) but she’s SO much more and I wanna talk about it. 

Keiko generally cares for yusuke and they’ve been friends literally since they were kids, she’s the only one that actually looks deep into yusuke and see that he DOES care and he isn’t a douchebag and he just acts like a little stinker, she’s the only one that actually bothers to ‘take care’ of him and look out for his well being in the anime because nobody else will (yusuke’s mom is more prominent figure in the manga especially in the dark tournament arc). She was HAULING ASS in season 1 because she was the only one that was willing to run into a BURNING building  to save Yusuke, and Kuwabara was also the only one to run after Keiko inside the house to save her and Yusuke, and she called EVERYONE out on it— she took matters into her own hands and she’s a queen 4 that ❤️❤️

Kuwabara was also the only one that was determined enough to actually befriend Yusuke too, Kuwabara said himself that “it was never about winning” he just wanted Yusuke to stop being a lone wolf and join the pack. 

Keiko literally wanted Yusuke to stop being a uraMESS and get his life together, Kuwabara and Keiko are literally his cheerleaders trying to actually get him on the right track and do something instead of being laid back, (That’s why those two we’re able to get into a good highschool, Shizuru even said that Kuwabara needed to work hard if he wanted to go to a good highschool, Kuwabara maybe be clumsy and silly but he’s a smart cookie too.) Kuwabara wanted Yusuke to actually defeat Toguro so he faked his death, Keiko was literally graying during the whole tournament too because she was so worried he was going to die. 

And then Chapter Black and the Makai Tournament  happen. 

These  two RUINED me, i will never recover from them especially when Kuwabara was having a meltdown during the Yusuke and Sensui fight. 

keep in mind: 

Kuwabara and Keiko were two out of Yusuke’s mom and that principal that were genuinely distraught over Yusuke death, crying and screaming Keiko fell to her KNEES and sobbed.

And they were also the only two that were actually PISSED OFF about Yusuke leaving, especially Kuwabara because Yusuke DIED right in front of Kuwabara and all of a sudden now he’s alive but then he’s leaving?? For 3 YEARS to go to demon world?? Kuwabara had every right to be upset and so did Keiko.

You can tell at this point Keiko was exhausted, Kuwabara was fuming and both were sick of Yusuke shenanigans Keiko was drained at this point, it was emotionally draining her and you can tell when she said “Yusuke…I don’t think my new boyfriend…will like that,” (i forgot but I think that’s how it went) 

And then now they’re both told to WAIT 3 YEARS??? (keiko specifically) 

this is where the writing didn’t make sense to me but made the scene where everyone was at the beach so impactful because you can tell Keiko has reached her limit and finally had enough when she yells, all her anger, her exhaustion, “It’s time to get what I want” 

but then suddenly Yusuke comes back and it turns into a romantic moment???

Yusuke put Keiko through hell and back and you can see that she wasn’t starting to brush it off her shoulder, it was WEIGHING her down especially if it was getting into her own life and what she wanted to do. 

yusuke goes through character development to become less iof a delinquent bad boy guy throughout the series yes but I feel like it’d be more impactful if Keiko actually broke it off with Yusuke because it would give him the realization of that his action affect other people emotionally/mentally and not just himself physically. 

anyways i think they should beat yusuke with hammers
