#cosmic wall

[weirdofish]

A tribute piece to one of my favorite levels in Sonic Adventure 2 Cosmic Wall. Not only was the low gravity gimmick fun, but the music here absolutely slaps (I listened to the 30 minute extension a few times while making this XD). I spent a long time trying to think up a good composition and the best I could make was Eggman getting harassed by space squishies (not that I blame him; those things are fucking annoying XP).

I'll be honest, I really love making these despite how annoying and tedious it can be. I enjoy the challenge of looking at a game's textures up close and trying to imperfectly recreate them as best as I can. I'm definitely gonna do more in the future.

The Sonic Adventure 2 ost kinda slaps tho

Once, in realms untold, a kingdom of stars, Where cosmic dust danced like twilight's bells. A cosmic wall loomed, an insurmountable bar, Fearful whispers echoed through the quasar. In this fantastical land, heroes rose, Their hearts ablaze with courage's glow. With the power of unity and love, They breached the void where stars above. A new age dawned, kingdoms rejoiced, Together they'd conquered a cosmic voiced.

I feel like the biggest difference between Kim Dokja and Han Yoojin is that while Dokja has for the most part carefully constructed his freak persona as a way to protect his vulnerabilities and trick his companions into believing he has his shit together, Yoojin just naturally is the freakiest little menace the world has ever seen

MY BELOVED MY BELOVED MCGA FANDOM COME HERE AND FEAST

one of the wild things about people’s stubborn insistence on misunderstanding The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas is that the narrator anticipates an audience that won’t engage with the text, just in the opposite direction. Throughout the story are little asides asking what the reader is willing to believe in. Can you believe in a utopia? What if I told you this? What about this? Can you believe in the festivals? The towers by the sea? Can we believe that they have no king? Can we believe that they are joyful? Does your utopia have technology, luxury, sex, temples, drugs? The story is consulting you as it’s being told, framed as a dialogue. It literally asks you directly: do you only believe joy is possible with suffering? And, implicitly, why?

the question isn’t just “what would you personally do about the kid.” It isn’t just an intricate trolley problem. It’s an interrogation of the limits of imagination. How do we make suffering compulsory? Why? What futures (or pasts) are we capable of imagining? How do we rationalize suffering as necessary? And so on. In all of the conversations I’ve seen or had about this story, no one has mentioned the fact that it’s actively breaking the fourth wall. The narrator is building a world in front of your eyes and challenging you to participate. “I would free the kid” and then what? What does the Omelas you’ve constructed look like, and why? And what does that say about the worlds you’re building in real life?

I thought it’d be fun to give Ben a Naljian transformation to play with the difference between what a 3 dimensional being experiences and what a 26+ dimensional being experiences. 

My interpretation of this was both shifting the planes of the world onto a 2d space in comparison to the Naljian, but also to frame them like animation stills, to provide even more meta context to the interaction, saying Naljians are so far above other creatures in terms of consciousness they are aware of the universe’s nature as a cartoon.

fanart for the personality swap au, the lawful joke au, by @chaosaliien, this time chrysler themed

the anual company party but orbo watched the great british bake off beforehand and makes it everyone's problems

headcannon that prism is actually a pretty good cook/baker, in my head this happens later in his development when he indulges in the gang's shenanigans, he did the gingerbread cube half because he cant be bothered with complex design and half because thats genuinely the only experience he has with houses

scrabby doesnt actually know how good he is and gives him some advices on how to bake, its only later when scrabby is having difficulty with something gone wrong with the recipe and he cant figure out what when prism helps him out he realizes that prism is a really good baker

scrabby gets really competitive, theyre on equal levels of skill but he stills feels kinda threatened that prism is entering 'his territory', prism is surprised and intrigued bc he has never seen this side of scrabby, but also kinda smug at being proved right that scrabby isnt the perfect agreeable goody two shoes everyone pegs him as, i can see him actually putting in effort just to rile scrabby up

This is not a love story.

I do kinda have a life debt to the transfem community where I am; I really don't know what on earth I would have done if the girls in my life hadn't taken me in instead of letting me live out of my car in this freezing weather. Like. Not just given me a place to sleep, but made me feel like family, made me feel like I'm worth something - I can't stress how much life has kicked my ass and absolutely ripped away my self esteem, how much I thought I'd be doing everyone a favor by not being in their lives. I'm devastated so many trans women know what it's like to feel this way. And I'm forever grateful you collectively took me into the flock even when I can't see why you would. You don't owe me a thing and you took me in as family. Told me I don't owe anything but to survive.

And the generosity of the community here on tumblr has been a lot of how I've afforded to eat while I'm too disabled and depressed to work.

UGH I can blubber for ages & I've posted this gist before but I love you
