#first photoset y'all

[woohoojuicesimoleons2]

I absolutely LOVE your gameplay and just wanted to say that whatever you did differently is noticeable! Everything seems so bright and crisp! Love the photoset you just posted (and yeah, a lot must have happened lol). Just a note to say I love your editing. And of course, this family too!

OMG THANK YOU <3 Lol but I love how y'all picked up on the difference! I wasn't sure about it at first but I've been using a very old photoshop preset again! My Gshade preset is the same (it's called Sweet, but I don't remember the creator, just know the name of the set is called Sweet & Sour) and I found the PS preset here! I've been using that preset since my TS3 days, and now I use it alongside my regular editing I did before using it (smart sharpen, unsharp mask, camera raw filter)

For those who don't yet follow me over on Cohost, I have a few announcements!

First and foremost; I now have an OF account! This, honestly, was kinda a long time coming, but here we are. Content-wise it'll be similar to some of the things I post over on my Cohost, with the addition of potential videos, voice clips, and some slightly risker content as I get more comfortable with the platform. There might possibly even requested content as well if things are going decently :)

Y'all are welcome to sub to me over there, but I want y'all to Be Aware that it'll be a bit barren/slow moving as I learn the platform more, and you might initially see a few re-posts.

ALSO to my feet enjoying followers, this was also inevitable but I just posted a small foot photoset over there lol

As for additional announcements;

I also have a makeshift Carrd now! So now you can find all my social links and such in one place!

I've also updated my Throne wishlist with a few new items. Primarily a new camera so I can get better quality photos and videos, as well as be hands free, and a space heater has been added so I can keep taking thirst traps through these freezing months :')

So I hope y'all enjoy and thank you for all the support! uwu

I wanted to do another photoset of Ciaran for y'all. I love his expressive face so much. Images are from the end of Act 2, up through the first part of Act 3.

If anyone wants more info about what he was doing/going through/thinking in any of these pics, lmk, I'd gladly write up some thoughts for you!!

[link-sans-specs]

Hi all. 👋

It feels like I've been gone for ages. I've been doing a lot of physical therapy, then my holiday break was super busy, and on top of that, I was sick for a couple of weeks. Just wanted to pop back in and say I'm sort of still here. Still really busy and I need to catch up on a ton of stuff, just so much stuff, but it's super cold here and I'm not planning on leaving the house today,so I've got a few sans specs photosets from this week to drop off. Hope everyone had a nice December/first part of January and hope y'all enjoy this batch of pretty pics. 😘

At first

So, last weekend I've been producing a little mass of Ryder in things VP I can now scatter over the next few weeks — at the cost of entirely neglecting my other boys once again. As always I feel bad about it, because they deserve attention as well (especially JJ bc he got the least atm, but @gloryride takes so pretty shippy pics of Enzo and him lately, I'm always melting when I get to see them! I'll give him and them love soon too I promise!). It is what it is — Ry happens to be my personal fav. I have to accept it and say it is okay.

— NPV

Some of you know I have him already as npv and I was about to get things ready for others who might be interested in taking pics of him or/and befriend him with their own ocs.

FYI: His npv is not only for me! So feel free to ask me about him. I do not bite (but he does) :)

However, just by using his npv version only a few times I knew I need more than the 15 outfits he already got due to story related things and general vp ideas with two or more ocs in my head. So only after like what? — barely three months he's going to receive an update with the rest of his outfits to be added. There's only one permission I'm waiting for. If I do not receive an answer in the next days, these two outfits will be added without that specific piece.

— VP

I. Nice pics

That I took a mass of him mainly happened bc I needed 2-3 pics for my info pdf as I grew tired of some older ones (without raytracing) and I was missing one for Formal, Summer and one for Merc anyways as well as the Special category, so I took pics in one of the outfits that are presented there.

I'll post them during the next few weeks. It's just pretty pics since their intention is more or less focused on the outfit in general.

I'm trying to get more interesting shots in between but I'm super critical with myself thinking my ideas aren't 'great', ' very conceptual' or 'interesting' enough (I do not feel forced to do it in the fandom, but I know I should do it ore often bc it is my job life too) – I do think the same about may daily business work and yet I receive comments from coworkers like 'You're so creative with this one' and 'glad I took your expertise', so I can't be that uncreative, heh?.

II. Sneak Peak

Y'all may have noticed that there's a new harness out for both female and male and ofc I was all bats about how it looks on Ry. So here I can show you his fine belly for now:

My Idea was to take pictures in green light (the Afterlife stairway). But once I started colorgrading afterwards in Adobe Lightroom, I almost deleted the entire green because the brown makes him look way more "realistic".

I'm torn between doing all pics this way or split it up into both. The green def. has a nice catch but I'm so sold to the colorgraded version. I want to bring him back together with Thyjs there anyways, so maybe I'll use the green for them instead and then pics in the Afterlife stairway make more sense (if I try think story wise) rather than jsut a nice photoset with lots of skin that could have been shot anywhere since you do not see wehere it is exactly. Next days will decide what I do with the green or not.

III. Reshots.

Ryder is turns 1 this year! September 17th is his creation day (his birthday is October 31st though). <3 So I took the opportunity to look at his first pics I did back in the day, where I had zero clue what to do with him. A few characteristics were set; like his black clothing only concept but in general I didn't know how he would react in pictures. Today I know!

Here's a another sneak peak. Taking him from emotionless oc to German Raver Dude™. <3

Fun fact: I forgot to add his blade cyberware back then on the first day and redid the pics already the next day (Sep. 18th) with the blades but left this pic on the left out bc I didn't like it that much. He looked at me like a psycho and made me think "Will I like you?"

Last year I tried to make my pics colorful, because Cyberpunk is a colorful game after all, but I forced myself to do bc usually my style is and always has been like the colors are in the right picture; desaturated, with a nice noise. I'm happy I went to retake his first pics and I'll continue with a few (e.g. The Atlantis, Konpeki red maybe too).

— FIC (snippet)

Here's one of my rp answers of a deep talk Ry and Arki are having during a rooftop party. It's only my reply so it's why Arki does not say anything here.

Ryder suddenly feels understood. He shifts into an upright position, placing one knee onto the other, his foot wobbling to the sound of the music playing in the background. Arki almost sounds like he’s battling the same, but on a different level. You feel like that too? Ry’s eyes get bigger and he gives off a rather surprised look as he listens further. He decides to sip his bottle again, takes a deep breath, then shifts into another position anew, looking at the reflection in the glass. “Yeah — ‘Bad. Enduring. Aggressing. Sinister. Termination.' — or in short: 'B.E.A.S.T.' That's how I started calling it that way.” Ry states, eyes back on him. “It forces me to do -bad-. It’s sort of an -enduring- beat in my head, I can beat Beast only for a time while listening to hard rave beats. — It makes me -aggressive- to no end. It -scares- me because out of not knowing what’s happening I am frightened to see what I’ve done again because— because it only ends with -termination- for my opponents while I’m just lucky to have survived each time.” Ryder adds with a cracking voice followed by a sigh.

Arki’s ‘You are not alone, Ryder’ gave Scharfenberg, to his own surprise, hope again. “Funny,” he lets out next, another tiny laugh leaving his lips. “Never thought someone could understand me, feel what I feel. And out of all it turns out to be you.” — He explained it to V and to Thy. They tried but will never understand it entirely because they do not –thank the netlords– have to deal with it as he has. “How it looks inside me, how it screams and yells in there. Tells me how I have to do it.”  I never wanted this, Ryder thinks for himself. Must kill! Beast barks at him immediately. Halt doch einfach mal die Fresse! Ryder yells back in German in his mind, his teeth bared a little behind lightly twitching lips as his expression slips for Arki to see. “But I—” he goes on, eyes continuing to fix onto Arki’s. Fetch me souls! “— how can I win? Be good? Get rid of it — the fire, the burning voice, the constant pounds and torment? That rage?” Ry throws in one question after another, gaze fixated on the other man as if he awaits an answer Arki surely may not have for him either after he told how he feels as well. Scharfenberg takes a bigger sip and enjoys the fizzing of the beer on his tongue again for a moment. “I can't escape it. Got to go the way it chases me. It’s an endless road.” His hand reaches up to rub his beard for a long moment as he leans back, hesitating if he should tell more or not. Let Arki eventually take part of his struggle he's been battling for almost eight years now. His gaze wanders off again to look literally everywhere, legs now both bob a certain rhythm even though the background music in the distance is currently off because Vijay seems to be searching for some other tunes. “For me it's a daily and constant ‘knock-knock’ that says: "Now where is that anger? That hunger to kill? You need it. Fetch me souls”—suddenly he swings back forth again, voice getting louder, teeth baring, white rings of his optics flaring up dangerously fixed back on Arki. ”Hey! — I'm here, don't you ignore me! Let me out! They harmed you. Kill them. Let me— Let me out! Must! Kill! All!" Ryder expresses himself citing Beast under repressed anger. He abruptly takes another big gulp, and falls back into the lounge, a heavy sigh leaving his lips as he’s busy for a moment pushing Beast back.

okay that was a lot actually. I could ad way more but I'll keep that for another wip post! xD

Thanks for reading and kudos to everyone who landed here!

31, 40, 48, and 50 as an optional bonus from the OC asks

Thank you for the asks <3

--

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain waht their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything)

I'm trying to think which of my idiots would be the most tumblr-bound lol out of my current OCs. V would run a helluva shitpost blog. Like you know the Heritage Post level shitposts? That is absolutely something she would be fantastic at. But she'd constantly be night blogging: "V, why are you posting at 3:43am?" "Don't worry about it".

Era, on a completely different note, if she was given the time would have a beautifully formatted, gorgeously aesthetic blog showcasing her paintings, her painting set up, scenes around Dromund Kaas (especially the floral gardens) with everything carefully curated. Theme? Moody pastels. Photosets? Color coordinated.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

I have SO many fond memories linked to my characters, especially ones I've made since joining tumblr back in...*checks notes* 2016ish as I've really built myself a fantastic community of mutuals that are so supportive, have engaged me with my characters all the more, and created some truly stunning joint worlds. I'll highlight a few that I've stumbled back across while digging through tumblr (though its absolutely NOT an all encompassing list):

The entire Fictober 2019, where I wrote Moments in Time will forever be special to me; it was my first attempt at fictober and the outpouring of love and support and excitement to follow ficlets of Wulfwryn and Raenor (who were NEW) was so inspiring and as we've seen they've become some of my most written characters <3

Emeldir's Traffic Cone Jacket Saga aka the series of in game shenanigans, fics, and prompts that @greyias and I clowned about a few years ago but keep resurfacing every once in awhile :P

Co-writing fics and writing duo fics with mutuals, especially the Idan and Terrance Odessen Reunion that @lumielles and I wrote pair fics for. There's something so beautiful about writing together with friends.

The enabling you all do >:D the Dream Team of Five, Roslynd, and Rhys wouldn't exist if @tiredassmage hadn't encouraged my tomfoolery with pulling Five off the shelf and breathing new life into a character I didn't think I'd feel inspiration for again and that truly is the story with so many of my characters. They wouldn't exist without y'all! Not in the way they currently do.

48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure?

Its a pretty solid toss up between Raenor and Tucdela. Hmmm...nah, I'll go with Tucdela because Raenor has his super saucy side which while that DOESNT mean he isn't the most perfect, cinnamon roll, it does mean he's a little less "pure" :P

50. Give me the good ol' OC talk here. Talk about anything you want.

Terrance has been on my mind a lot lately (hence the stumbling back on the fics) and I really really need to talk more about him because not only is his and Idan's dynamic fantastic, but I actually really popped off with him when I created him. The idea of a miraluka who struggles really really hard with using the Force to "see" as he gets overwhelmed extremely easily, especially on high population planets (like Coruscant) or highly Force attuned planets (Tython, Odessen) is something I want to explore more. That, and I need to write more JediSon and JediDad because Idan really comes through and extends a kind hand to a young kid who has not been shown that. The simple things like a cup of tea, or some spare soft fabric for his eye covering. I need an excuse to go wild over Terrance lol

I need to know what "Daddy? Sorry, Da-" is TELL MEEEE

BAHAHAHA oh i LOVE that one.!! it was the one i started first after seeing the movie, and coincidentally also one ive been working on this week 🤭 thanks for asking, smitty baby !! as a prize, you get my moodboard, as well as the opening paragraph under the cut, as a teaser: 🌻

You barked out a laugh, only belatedly bringing a hand up to cover your mouth when you registered the stares of everyone else around the table, ranging from shock to shame to confusion. Funny, the recollections a sudden burst of panic could dredge up. You hadn’t thought about that moment in… well, in just about forever. In fact, you’d actively tried to repress the memory for years, so in hindsight you supposed it wasn’t all that odd. But goddamn, karma sure had a way of biting back, didn’t it?

when i first joined tumblr in my early days of fandom, many moons ago - in other words, about 2012 - you couldn't scroll for five minutes without seeing a daddy joke, sometimes a "he went from 'yes sir, i'll have her home by seven' to 'your daughter calls me daddy, too'" photoset, but more often a "daddy, pass the salt" blurb (where both the father and boyfriend reach for the shaker, leading to a quite embarrassing exposure). at the time, i had no appreciation for daddy!kink, but as dean winchester was a frequent victim of the phenomenon, i read my fair share and always enjoyed the inherent chaos 😈

i toyed with the idea of writing one for elvis, but couldn't decide whether it'd fit better with him as the bf or the father... luckily, emmy mae provided the perfect solution for my dilemma when she got an ask prompt about elvis experiencing the situation from both sides, decades apart, and "reader just laughs her ass off bc Karma." the idea cracked me up, and i immediately set about writing a longer fic about the idea.

currently, i've got a goofy, light-hearted oneshot detailing the main body of the prompt, and an absolutely filthy sort of bonus prequel dealing with elvis overhearing the reader chatting with vernon (and realizing he might like to explore using titles in the sexy bedroom way instead of just the casual "daddy-o/ lil' mama" way), both under the working title That's [Not] All Right, Mama. i wanted the main one to be able to be read as conversational instead of explicitly kinky, should you so choose- but y'all know me, i didn't want to exclude the kink, either.!!! 😏❤️‍🔥

[the-90s-music-colosseum]

Ah shite - I just realized Mike's gonna go up against (probably) Courtney first...whelp...it was nice knowing y'all... time to go back in the cave....

I honestly wouldn't place bets on Courtney's match yet-- not making any guesses but one of my best-performing propaganda photosets to date is the Peter Steele Playgirl issue with hundreds of notes. So yeah.

Tbh this corner of the bracket is just pure insanity and people are going to die here

[fromkenari]

This a reminder that a long, long time ago (2010/2011) on this hellsite (neutral,) I offered my code for Followr (a mass follow/unfollow tool) to the guy who created missing e, and he had a tantrum that I had created a tool that made following a list of people on Tumblr easier.

So I hosted it myself until Tumblr revoked my API privileges and then limited the number of people you could follow and unfollow in a day AND paginated the API for follows and followers, which is why for a long, long time (who knows, maybe it's still this way) the number of blogs listed on your follow and followers pages did not equal your listed number of Follows and Followers.

I've made several Tumblr fix-it scripts since then, and Tumblr has changed itself so many times that nothing I (or several other people) created works anymore.

The important thing to remember is that people claiming to be all for making Tumblr user-friendly are sometimes just hypocrites. I used to get anon hate (because yes, actually, sometimes Tumblr would quietly change their codebase two days in a row and leave us scrambling, as much as I know that's hard for assholes on the internet to understand, it happens), and got my code jacked on this site ALL the time (by people with large followings who would claim they "bought it"/"found it" on Twitter when all they did was remove the license information from the top and then block me.) You don't distribute code through filesharing sites. You use a repository.

Tumblr blows nuts these days, and right now, I only know of XKit Rewritten that is still working, but hey, maybe, someday I'll write another script to make Tumblr more user-friendly in the actual sense and not make it a Shitter knock-off like the current dipshit in charge did.

P.S. In case you didn't know, Tumblr no longer allows Javascript to be used in themes or page code, which is the second biggest reason it was so popular in the late 00s. The first being, of course, that they allowed the hosting of porn. Y'all keep throwing around that screenshot of 2010 Tumblr like it's something. At the dawn of Tumblr, there were no post types or photoset templates. We had browser scripts to add them. You also got an email for every Reblog, Like, and, of course, new Followers. The <big> tag was the most abused thing despite most HTML tags being game on the dash. <marquee> was pretty popular, too. And no one fooled themselves by thinking the search or tag system was usable.

You don't understand how exhausting it is to think of everything this site has gone through in a little over 15 years. Comparitively very little of it for the better.

5&13!!

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

I owe the remaining chapters of my QuiObi Big Bang for 2023, Notorious and also a fic that was only just revealed, but shh. That was is pretty high up on the list to complete, as I kinda burnt out while writing it but had a little buffer I never got around to posting. So in continuing the tradition from qobb2022, I will be working very hard to finish that one as soon as I can.

whether it will actually be finished first or not—your guess is as good as mine. it's pretty intricate and I just took at least month off for burnout. but! for the moment, I can do better than a snippet, and will be posting a completed chapter. I think. god this headache is abitch

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic? 

hmmmmm.... see, I dunno. maybe manips and moodboards and photosets, but not so much gifsts or fanvids. pod fic - i genuinely don't understand how people read things out loud, my mouth dries 3 minutes in how are y'all doing thissss

Riz Ahmed as the archangel Michael, protector, defender and prince of mercy, leader of Heaven’s armies and right hand of God; twin brother of Lucifer Morningstar.

From the biblical!AU dreamt up and taken to extremes by @amine-eyes and myself, because she decided to cast Riz as Michael and that meant another shitty graphic had to be made. :’)
