Non Player Characters.

In our recent blog post Banishing The Body Snatchers, we put forth the premise that a body without a soul could be compared to a vacant house on the Real Estate Market. “Lights are on, but nobody’s home” would be another way of explaining the concept. And we supposed that just as a house can exist but not be a home, a body can be animated by the collective consciousness without having a soul.…

I’ve had to miss a lot of work this week bc of the loss of two family pets if anyone wants to spot me a few bucks so I can know I’ll actually make ends meet that would be awesome. I’m picking up an extra shift monday nov 25th but there’s no more room elsewhere for me to squeeze in more hours

EDIT:

I received my paycheck and it won’t be enough to cover my expenses because I had to buy new work pants & don’t have enough to cover groceries because my food stamps have been cut. I’m currently supporting 3 people on my food stamps because no one else in my household qualifies but our budget is too tight to buy groceries without the help.

On top of that, I need new tires and new windshield wipers for my car, kitty litter, braces for my joint pain, and I need to get in to see a doctor for said joint pain as well which I’m expecting to be extremely costly like the initial visit for diagnosis. I was hoping to not have to ebeg for 100s of dollars but I applied for a credit card and was denied, and my score is too low to apply for another one right away. I don’t know what else to do. Please help me out.

the way that nick spell in 14x17 makes it canonically SO easy to open a portal to the empty. it drives me insane. dean literally HAD cas's blood. on his jacket. it was all right there. it was set up perfectly. why show us nick opening a portal to the empty and specifically showing that the main ingredient was BLOOD then. not using that. dean was meant to rescue cas!!!!! full circle moment. i'm the one who gripped you tight a raised you from perdition. what's the matter, cas? you don't think you deserve to be saved? i love you, too. of course i love you. SMOOCH. anyways.

Some scattered thoughts on Mario Tennis Aces

Warning: spoilers ahead

I love that every time any of the characters talk about the stakes, they're like "we've got to save Luigi! ... and the others I guess..." Even in the finale when they're doing a big tennis match to determine the fate of the world, Wario and Waluigi are booed by the crowd while Luigi... despite still being possessed by Lucien... gets cheered for and talked about in a positive light by the announcers.

What's also interesting is that Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser talk and act very much like their normal selves while possessed. They're being manipulated in some part, with Bowser saying that the racket's power makes him "want to control things more than usual," but it's clear Lucien is exploiting preexisting desires. Luigi, however, never says a word, and is fairly expressionless compared to the others. He is not being manipulated so much as he's been entirely robbed of his senses, turned more into a tennis playing puppet than a minion. But if you think about it... that aligns with the goals each of them had that caused them to take hold of Lucien. Wario and Waluigi wanted the power to defeat their enemies in tennis, and were granted that desire to the best of Lucien's abilities. Bowser wanted to take over the world, and Lucien actually went so far as to fuse with him so they could conquer as one entity.

Luigi wanted nothing more than to hold the pretty tennis racket, and for most of the story... at the sacrifice of every other part of him... he got exactly that.

Artists who admit to not knowing small details about their characters and worldbuilding have inadvertently given better advice than any character design post on social media tbh. as fun as it is to come up with what your guys would order from a restaurant or the contents of their backpack or their favorite color I've run into very few people who can leave that stuff in a story (or even leave it offscreen as paratext) without it being distracting and poorly written because it's rarely in service of the narrative. a lot of that is def just down to personal taste, but it feels more like designing characters for a TTRPG

and if I said that lots of mizu/akemi shippers are actually mizu/fem self-insert and mizu/fem oc shippers then what?
