Guys, am I insane for wanting to take these two background characters and give them names and backstory?

also more codelyokoposting but I really really dig XANA as a villain. It's not a person with a complex background that led them down the path of evil, it's not a morally grey character you sympathize with but condemn. It's a powerful AI capable of controlling almost anything in the real world. It doesn't have a face or a body, we only know it for its symbol and for the monsters it controls in the virtual world. It's willing not just to kill people through various methods (poisoning, drowning, car crash, fucking space lasers too?) but also Earth as a whole (it tried to blow up a NUCLEAR PLANT and crash two trains with toxic chemicals in them). And we don't even know why it does this, at least not for now. It may not even have a particular reason, just some sort of virus or malware in the form of an AI that seeks nothing but destruction without any goals in mind. This "pure evil" characteristic doesn't come off as childish, like in some children cartoons, it's just kind of scary to think that such an incomprehensible and destructive force exists, almost feels like a natural disaster

wait what is we don’t talk about dan era

context

this is the time between when the hiatus started until dan's coming out video Basically I'm Gay (and some may argue continued after that as well, just in a different way) coming off of ii, joint content regularly--joint life essentially--to the New Era where phil would specifically Not talk about dan in videos. it was noticable because they would always talk about each other, particularly in one-off moments, so it was strange, from an audience perspective, to almost be pretending dan didn't exist.

once BIG happened, we understood. but dan did 'appear' more after that during 2019. 2020 though, there's several videos that feel like they're specifically missing dan in them. phil baking his birthday cake alone, a tour of my plants (back on my old blog i have a live reaction to this video; it's coated in dan Energy cause he's doing the camerawork, but you never hear him), catching a pigeon, to name a few. obviously, not every video needs to be joint content, but if dan wasn't taking his break, if he wasn't doing his book & dinok, these are the ones you could expect him to have popped into in earlier years.

since then, we slowly saw him returning not only to some videos, but also, phil mentioning him again. the wall only fully came down once the gaming channel came back though. (literally has there been a phil video since where he doesnt mention him at least once, not even to mention how many dan is physically present in)

"He knows I'm not the possessive type. I'm totally cool with him having other friends." Girl twenty issues earlier you stole your mom's scrubs to sneak into a hospital and spy on your boyfriend's female friend after he repeatedly told you they were just friends. ARE you cool with it

If Hakuri dies because Chihiro went back in there... peak fiction. What a man you are, Takeru Hokazono. Enough time has passed, Hakuri's death scene in Chapter 45 was the best written, most impactful death scene in manga history.

Okay wow the "forgetting Edgeworth's elevator trauma" goes deeper than the one elevator leading into the hidden storeroom, the Bigg Building's roof doesn't have any way up aside from an elevator. I'm not sure the Bigg Building itself has any stairs at all. Wtf.

lp Claude sentencing Jennette's sister to death, marrying Jennette to her foster-brother and revealing aunt Rosalia's involvement in the conspiracy only after Athy is buried, could also be Claude getting rid of every source of familial love Jennette had left after the death of her parents, so that he was the only one she could turn to.

Top 5 tropes, top 5 dog breeds, top 5 saints

Tropes

I have forgotten every single trope, and can't decide exactly what counts as a trope, so I'm just going to list five story elements that usually capture my interest.

The tension between idealism and practicality

Morally upright heroes

Trickster heroes who use their powers for good

Time travel (specifically when time travel is explored as a story element, rather than just as a means to get to another time)

Arranged marriage romances

Dog Breeds

Mostly listing types of dogs I've known personally and had good experiences with

Collie

Black lab

Golden retriever

German shepherd

Basset hound

Saints

Since I've made this list a few times before, I'm going to list some saints who have captured my attention lately.

St. Thomas Aquinas: Mentions of him kept popping up in my life, and Chesterton's bio of him made me love him as a person. Plus, some prayers by him have become important parts of my prayer routine lately.

St. Frances de Sales: I read only the first part of his very first book of apologetics before it went back to the library, but since then, I think about it at least on a weekly, if not a daily basis.

St. Michael: He's always been a presence in my family's devotions (several family members have him as a patron, and he's patron of a local parish), but looking up Michaelmas traditions this week drew me to him in a much more personal way.

St. Mary Magdalene: I've always liked her, but lately I've been drawn to her in a more unique way

St. Theresa of Calcutta: I saw a documentary about her that felt very relevant to my life and work, so I've felt a new closeness to her since then.

Painting class final project

Oil on canvas 30" x 36"

Took 18-19 hours

Notice how I completely fucked up on the perspective? The background and subjects are painted at two noticeable- albiet slightly different points of view. Oops. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Oh well. I'm not repainting this shit, I'm too tired.

I fucking hate that Starscream from Skybound made me appreciate Xue Yang as a character more. Between these two characters that I wished them to kick the bucket, one character is due to the impact he had in the story that made me want him to suffer fate worse than death, and one character is simply because I want he get the fuck out of the story forever to spare more spot lights for other characters.
