[I mean, all the cool little areas, the neighborhoods, the districts. Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel to check out a joint that started in the '30s as an Italian restaurant in a garage.]

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Radiant Garden
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#radiant garden#scenery#my gif#i was really looking forward to being able to explore this world when i first saw it appear in cutscenes#but alas...#at least we have the plaza in photo mode#if you take the camera through the town you can see that merlin's house is there and the little umbrellas are always spinning#thought that was cool since that area isn't even accessible or visible from the plaza

whatever. go my scarab
ive been watching scruffys pikmin 4 playthrough (go check it out!!!!)
#specifically referencing ep11 for anyone curious but i dont wanna spoil anything.. youll know it when you see it lol#ive never played pikmin and i already know for a fact id suck ass at it bc i can only do one thing at a time. i have zero dandori#actually i have zero interest in the dandori challenges bc im more focused on the creatures and areas. id be cooked#but its still fascinating to watch how the planning and strategy works in real time and goes so well with exploring#and if youre like me and has shown little interest in pikmin games his videos are a nice warm hug for looking into it#scruffy has a nice voice and explains everything like pointing out which enemies are from prev pikmin games and how they work#and pays special attention to the adaptive music cues which pikmin is known for and its really cool to see it dissected#his other videos also pick apart sound design in other video games i highly recommend his fnaf ones. theyre excellent#scruffy youtube#myart#my art#doodles#pikmin#pikmin 4#flying pikmin

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.
#just kidding i don't know what linguists call that tenor. or any tenors. i'm not totally positive what a tenor even is#but i can't let that stop me from writing a jokey post on tumblr dot com#register is a very interesting area of linguistics that i know very little about#so i'm probably revealing the depths of my vast ignorance here to all the sociolinguists who surely hang on my every word#but i've always thought of the formal/informal pronoun thing as being about two things: intimacy-distance & rudeness-politeness#and of course you can usually tell from context whether a formal pronoun is meant to indicate distance or politeness#(plus distance and politeness are related to each other (to various degrees depending on culture))#but it seems like it would be cool to have a built-in alignment chart of sorts just for pronoun combos#instead of prep jock nerd goth...why not try intimate self-effacing polite superior?#the goblin emperor#pronouns#register#sociolinguistics#my posts#f#anyway i know i said i wasn't going to reread the goblin emperor...but guess what. lol#and i edited my tags on that earlier post but fyi the language DOES distinguish between plural and formal singular pronouns#i had said i thought it used the same pronouns for plural and formal but i just wasn't paying close enough attention#so anyway i just reread the part where maia is talking to setheris in formal first and informal second#and you can see setheris going ohhh shit. oh shit oh shit oh shit#i'm in biiiiiig trouble#you sure are dude. that's the Time to Grovel signal#it's interesting because at the very beginning of the book when i first saw the formal first used i just thought it was the royal we#because i knew the main character was supposed to be royalty#but then EVERYONE was doing it. so it's not the royal we it's just the formal we#however. this does make me realize that the way the royal we would function in a language that retains the t-v distinction#is the same way i'm describing here. it's just reserving that particular tone (i'm better than you and am displeased with you)#for royalty only. which makes sense given royalty's whole deal

OC-Tober Day 2: New Character (alternative title: who gave the worst little twink access to inter dimensional travel???.)
Idk if this counts as a new character but I’ve decided to repurpose my little guy Max into a new story which has necessarily lead to a lot of changes. I expect them to be at least somewhat unrecognisable once I actually get down to writing more for this specific story :)
#bweirdoctober#oc tober#digital sketchbook#original art#original character#digital art#my ocs#Max#at least for now. they might get a shiny new name eventually.#anyway I haven’t actually done a lot of thinking on the visual design lelements I wanna go with for the story as a whole so I just went ham#that ended up with the most anime design I could’ve gone for I think. I can see this little creature in an anime style gacha game for sure.#look at them#anyway I also don’t think open inter dimensional passages actually looks this cool. it’s more just. translucent areas between places.#but i wanted something cool looking a#so here we are

gonna wait to post a couple webfishing pieces all together but the sketch for my void one was really evocative to me so i wanna share now :)
#webfishing#still considering how to convey the true void - the first out of bounds area has this little lip and i wanted to show her kicking her feet#in the water but it’s complicated bc it’s exactly the same! it’s all black! it’s so cool#and then the true void complicated it even more bc there’s no lip#it’s just a surface you can stand on and paradoxically a lower water surface immediately below no matter where you are#much to consider for artistic choice and the intended vibes#i think this works well for the more cozy surrealness of OOBing near the cabin#but the true void would be really profound for some lethal isolation stuff. but also i took a real cute pic with my fishing buddies in thei#buckets :) no matter what i’ll end up doing the rainboots are really carrying lmao

World themed command menus in Kingdom Hearts 2
#kingdom hearts 2#kh2#my gif#i'm aware these aren't all of the command menus in the game. i limited them to ones that represent the general world as a whole#otherwise this post would be really long and would take a lot more work#i'm a big fan of how they make assets that are designed specifically for a certain world or area#they're cool to look at and i never really took the time to stop and appreciate all the details#some even have little animations when you expand the menus#as well as hidden mickeys#very cool stuff#okay time to tag all these worlds...#twilight town#hollow bastion#radiant garden#100 acre wood#mysterious tower#olympus coliseum#underworld#space paranoids#land of dragons#beast's castle#disney castle#timeless river#atlantica#port royal#halloween town#christmas town#agrabah#pride lands#the world that never was

Chapter 4 predictions?
honestly i have NO idea. ch4 is in what i like to call the thursday of the story – the part where all of the major players have been introduced but where we're still not quite at the height of the action yet. ch1&2 have set up our status quo, ch3 will likely kick the conflict regarding said status quo into full gear, and that leaves ch4 to be in a sort of odd place of rising tension before ch5 comes and that tension finally begins to snap. this is why i think ch3 will have a break in the established formula and be 100% tv world focused, while ch4 may briefly return to the light world intro > dark world gameplay > light world outro formula before it is done away with entirely in favor of the dark world taking center stage.
i don't think ch4 will be a full light world chapter (w/ some castle town on the side given the sweepstakes) at all, regardless, because 1. the light world does not have much in the way of gameplay and is extremely limited in your options for exploring/talking to people and 2. you cannot save your game in the light world, which would mean you would have to be stuck at your computer or game system until you got a moment to wander freely and head to castle town. i guess this could kind of be a metaphor for the archetypical player's neglect to consider any misery they cause kris or the other characters when prioritizing their undertale nostalgia (ie. sealing the fountains fast to see what the undertale characters are up to;) but it seems like it'd just be a poor way to execute that when there are other, far clearer ways to communicate that idea like the way the game uses the aformentioned fountain sealing idea. the dark world being the focus doesn't just make sense from the standpoint of it being a focus for the dehumanized characters or a focus for the characters who are going to get merch&therefore be the faces of the game, it's also mechanically the way to go. forcing someone to have one save point they have to trek back to over and over for a good four to five hours of gameplay isn't even something the undertale no mercy route does – you've got your save points there.
#ooc#deltarune#i also just don't want five hours of copdyne. or cop napstablook.#but wrt the light world. could you imagine a pokémon game where you have to spend five hours in#idk. vermillion city.#and you cannot leave vermillion city exept to save and go to a slightly more cool vermillion city#but. only sometimes.#and also slightly more cool vermillion city has a little guy whos whole job is to scold you for not doing your homework#and tell you to hurry on home to regular vermillion city#i do think castle town WILL become a fully explorable area but 1. not that soon#and 2. full light world implies you wont get to spend much time there anyways

Big kirby themed doodle page after re-playing Planet Robobot!!!!
I love this franchise, and definetly do not have a biast for one specific blue knight guy.
[Variation of the MK doodle with his mask undercut]
He should get dark wing membranes, as a treat/silly
#beetle's ramblings#beetle's art#meta knight#kirby#kirby fanart#“”GET OUT OF MY HEADDD!!!!!“”/silly#I think susie's little “This guy is cool so I made him a cyborg security guard!!!” ordeal should have left a stain#with a few membrane scars in the same areas where his stiff mechanic wings had screws#I do not want to know how she even set the whole model up#putting that aside I love these two#Pink demon and his goofy uncle <33#kirby series

I should add poledancing to the list of odd talents that Akira has but has no business having due to growing up in a small suburban town. I only had access to it bc i had a YMCA that had a MASSIVE gym (in a criminally underfunded part of the city); there were poles put up alongside some other structures to allow counselors to make up some shit for us to do lmao
Hes got a flair about him; speaking from experience, it is FUN to do gymnastic shit like that, and its really really REALLY good for ur core. Other things on the list are basic gymnastics (he hates that shit tho, the classes he took sucked ass), Parkour (loves this; less about running and more about utilizing ur core and bracing for falls), and Knife Flipping/Spinning. Theyre all odd things that coincidentally ended up being VERY good experience for the metaverse :) YEAH the metaverse makes it easier to pull off tricks, but he already knew how to do all those things; you cant get Ryuji or Yusuke to spin kick off a pole wo having them fall and bust their ass- Its ALL skill babey
#chattin#akira#i also hc him as someone who Can do yoga but hates doing it alone bc its boring#but he LIVES off of attention#and being good at doing extreme yoga poses will give u ppls undivided attention LMAO#hes like. before i learn this thing. is it Cool? and will it make people say ‘what the fuck?’ out loud?#i feel like he wouldnt tell anyone about anything voluntarily#ann makes a comment about pole dancing bc shes seen some of the older models do it#and it just seems so impossibly out of reach for her. and hes like. do u have a trainer? i could help#‘what do u mean help???’ ‘what else would that mean? help you Do the Thing bc i know how to Do it’#ann is the only person whos seen it outside of the metaverse. hes a bit clumsy w more extreme poses but hes good at spinning :)!#she manages to get herself upside down and they both scream in shock and joy#the whole time ive been writing im like. i wonder if theres some people i can find in my area#im working out again and pole dancing would be fun#or rock climbing tbh#i just like climbin on shit like a little monkey lol
