Thought Fiddlestan was a purely comedic ship for a while but now I get it, I see the light. It’s about a man who nurtures and cares for others to the point of heartbreak meeting a man who doesn’t remember what it’s like for anyone to care about him. It’s about them being warm together around the absence of someone they both love. It’s about Fiddleford’s innate domesticity comforting a man whose deepest desire was to come home. It’s about falling in love with the same face again but in a new context that heals your past trauma. It’s about Stan’s unbridled affection finally validating someone who desperately needed the recognition. It’s also about very funny old man yaoi.
#it also completely works in canon if it ends poorly and they both get their memories wiped which is maybe the funniest part#stan my man you do not remember being El Gee Bee Tee but you know who else doesn’t remember? The junkyard hillbilly.#plus the yearning on both ends and the way it also makes sense for Fids to help Stan get the gears rolling on portal fixing#at its best it ends in a future where neither of them are as self destructive as in canon#and at its worst everything proceeds like normal#Fids starts a cult cause he got traumatized by the same damn face TWICE I would go insane too tbh#gravity falls#fiddlestan#fiddleford mcgucket#stanley pines

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s graphics. I am replicating this in Blender, through mere observation of the final game, so some things might not be exactly accurate to what the PS1 does.
First off, this is what I started off with, straight from the Noesis exporter into Blender.
"Looks boring!" "What are those weird gradient quads?!" Oh we'll talk about those too, don't worry.
Let's start simple, figuring out the Layers.
We've got the base level geometry, then two layers of water, each with a different texture.
Let's focus on the bottom Water layer first. A waterfall's water falls, and the age old trick to replicate that behaviour is to scroll the texture along the mesh by offsetting the texture coordinates every frame.
Simple enough. Not too convincing yet.
Let's do the same with the other layer.
Look at it goooo!
An often-used trick to enhance the waterfall effect is to increase the distance between vertices (or squash texture coordinates) as the geometry goes down.
This affects the scrolling velocity for the texture in each section, making it look like gravity is accelerating the water.
MGS pulls yet another trick on top of that:
Vertices are subtly animated to oscillate, making the water flow seem more irregular.
It seems to be something similar to what is done to geometry when the camera goes underwater in the docks or vents area.
One opaque layer of water on top of another is no good.
Alpha Blending is an expensive technique and it'd not give the desired effect.
Additive Blending is used instead. The lower layer is rendered first, the second layer is then rendered on top, adding the color values together.
Now we get to talk about those weird quads.
They are darkening gradients! Instead of using Additive Blending, they do the opposite, the color value from the texture is subtracted from the scene that was rendered below, effectively creating shadowed areas.
Who needs HBAO+ anyway?
Lighting pass!
I just threw a few point lights to try and replicate the original vibes of the scene.
MGS, instead, uses lighting information baked into the vertices of the scene to create this mood. And what a mood it is!
Here's an additional example of the same techniques used in the bottom part of the same scene. Although the game seems to be rendering that water mesh as (almost?) completely opaque, there is an actual floor mesh under it.
There, I fixed this post. If you enjoy my posts, shit or not, consider supporting me on Ko-fi, I will appreciate it a lot 💞: https://ko-fi.com/parametricpalta

#guilty gear#guilty gear xrd#faust guilty gear#my edit#copypasta#saw this screenshot floating around alot and felt like making this edit#obligatory mention that obvs as a meme this isn't entirely accurate to how Faust would act in canon#I mean#well#obviously while Faust is quite humble and doesnt even wanna be called doctor and all#he also has this prideful boastful side to him which I'm sure is mostly him acting out the kind of person he thinks he OUGHT to be and all#I mean that gods gift to mankind quote is something he says#so maybe he'd tweet something like this to perform that kinda vibe#edit nooo I made a stupid error but I fixed it

I always think it is funny whenever I see people say that Asuka needs to go to therapy because, like... could you IMAGINE being the therapist that he calls. You're just in the office on a normal day, and the guy people have been calling the Literal Devil Public Enemy Father Of Evil for the past century walks in. Insane day for that doctor. Best and/or worst day or their career. Seriously. Zero precedent for potential treatment for this guy.
Not to mention, whenever they try to prescribe him something, he's like "Actually I already made that myself in my lab like 50 years ago. It didn't do anything."
#guilty gear#asuka r kreutz#also therapy literally would not fix him#something needs to happen to convince him that he doesnt need to play god#or else hes never gonna be interested in changing.#THEN maybe it would help#but only after that

So it was you, who made those dolls! I remember wanting to ask about them today, so thank you for the little update with them!! I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but could you maybe post something with them from time to time? I adore looking at them because they're so cute! You did so well with those dolls!!
asdfghj yes it was me! I love these little dudes, so I'll try to post more pics when I remember to!
for the most part, they remain chillaxing on the back of my couch in a scarf~ see below:
retirement suits them <3
#asks#my dolls#thanks for the compliment <3#unfortunately a bunch of bits on their gear broke 😩😩#I should fix it at some point but I don't like to keep the full kits on anyway

Lady Danielle Gotham, nee Phantom
Danny is the Reluctant King Phantom, Essence of Duality, Bringer of Balance, Protector of the Innocent, Victorious Over Plant and Weather Alike, etc. etc.
Dan(te) is the Prince, Cautioning Message, Promonition of Destruction, Wrathful Truth, Experienced Overlord and Conquest, Obsessions Deprived Newly Reborn, etc. etc.
Dani(elle/Ellie) is the Wandering Princess, Widespread Sights, Mirror Turned Painting, and now, most recently, Lady Gotham.
Let's explain.
Ellie has wandered much of their home dimension by now, and even with the Infinite Realms, wants to see an alternate Earth. Clockwork, the doting Grandpa he is, agrees, opening a portal. He says that she can do anything she wants, as long as she doesn't outright obliterate that version. The rest of them see her off, and in she goes.
The first thing she sees is a grave. Though she can't read it, as a woman in black could've been white, so long ago stands in front of it. The woman turns around, and she is
beautiful, shattered, solemn, joyful, mourning, celebrating, ominous, comforting, barely a newly minted town, an old weathered city, and
Tired. So tired. So much has happened, good and bad. She wants to watch her knights grow, to see them flourish. But even a sentient city cannot stay. Too much has changed from before. Too many magics. She has decks of curses, played or kept in her hand, but it is too much. She must reform.
Ellie is approached, and they talk. She's exploring, and this place seems really nice. A bit morbid, perhaps, but nice. Lady Gotham sees potential.
Over a few months they talk, and Lady Gotham gives not only the title, but the very essence of her beloved city to Ellie. She may not reform, and be dispersed. Or she will. But she wants someone to look after it. And Ellie can do that. She's seen so many people and places, understands how complicated it can be, and has a good relationship to the Reluctant King.
Ellie accepts. She's sad to see Lady Gotham go, but knows that nothing can forever. So she decides to check up on Lady Gotham's (who she now is) knights. And those two guys in the sewers. And the other with the bar and birds. And that woman in the catsuit and the assassin one too. All of them, actually. Invisibly, of course. Wouldn't want to do anything stupid.
She also got a cool new outfit! (Created by the essence of Gotham and herself, not that she knows that.) It feels so natural to have it on as she watches. The people she's watching, on the other hand, can feel it. The city's gaze.
Ellie has opinions. I mean, look at Mister Riding Hood! Dirtiest 'plasm she's seen! And the Bat! So many kids! Sewer dudes are actually pretty cool. Fun to hang out with. She's taken to using TVs supplied by Technus and Tucker that she's fed some ecto-essence into to let her watch them. And she's also had small picnics with some of the spirits residing there.
One day, as she's "birdwatching", or just going about her business, they see her. She doesn't notice.
#dp x dc#dc x dp#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc#dp x dc prompt#dani is lady gotham#Oh yeah we're goin there#good parents jack and maddie#Yeah the angst and all that#But Jack would be physically unable to hurt Danny#The moment he learns he's Phantom#Maddie would be so sorry.#She'd make up for it by working with Jack to fix the security systems and give Danny some new gear that works with his ghostliness.#danielle phantom#dan phantom#jazz fenton#Though she is not appearing as of yet.#redeemed vlad#Clockwork Vlad Jack and Maddie all come together once a month at the very least.#What they do can range from talking over board games to eldeutch horror pest control.#Ellie does play around with the deck of curses as a sort of stimming.#This does come back to bite her.#Continuations are very much appreciated.#batfam#danny phantom

i had a paramedic mood few weeks ago after reading a fic with her in it…drawings unrelated to the fic tho.
The one where shes holding the gray fox doll was meant to look more sinister but i didn’t know how to draw that exactly rip. Ill redo it sometime. Take that one as a draft version.
#Also trying out putting alt text on my drawings#been wanting to but i was worried i couldnt describe it right#but hey we trying#tell me if anything needs fixing#mgs#metal gear solid#mgs fanart#dr clark#paramedic#mgs paramedic#gray fox#qopphy art
