Was gonna wait to post this outside of ko-fi until I posted the corresponding part of my fic BUT since that's on hold for a hot second I might as well do it now!

So much yapping under the cut because I can't help myself lol (Mostly just a stream of consciousness, so its kind of a word salad)

I like to think that colors can change in brightness, mix with others, and appear in certain areas/patterns to give a bit of complexity to the use of colors for communication.

Top left is pretty straightforward- yellow is fear. It's the full body "puffed up cat" kind of fear where it's the ony emotion being processed. A lingering anxiousness would be shown more like a general yellow centered around the chest, while the rest of their body remains the same color. Feelings like a slight nervousness (Like handling a delicate object with big crab-claws, for example) would be shown through a "rippling" wave of yellow overtop of whatever colors are already present, originating from the chest or hands. ((link) this is pretty close to what I imagine (If the link doesn't work, skip to about 2:10) Spooky ocean warning! though if you're seeing this post in the first place I assume you're probably fine with it )

Green is analytical - He does this a few times in-game, and it's what makes the most sense to me. I also like to think it's the reasoning behind a lot of the Architect's... well, architecture. Green is a really predominant color in all of the architect structures / data hubs / machines / etc., so in cultural sense it would make sense for the Architects to be using the color representing their core values. The light blue around his sides is amusement/joy. (I put a little bit of this into my first chapter iirc) This is also based pretty closely to what we see in-game. (I.e. the little wave he does back at Robin, it's silly and playful and I love it sm)

The gray/dull tones (bottom left) are just that- the "muting/dulling" of whatever color it's applied to. The Architect who kind of killed his entire species is a little depressed if you can believe it! A muted blue (indigo, rather than light blue) would be melancholy, and the yellow tint in there is stress/dread. A completely dim gray Architect is basically completely numb, which is distinct from the typical "resting color" that Architects have when not feeling any emotion in particular at a given moment.

Dark blue (Or indigo, bottom right) is sadness. It could also be read as a sense of longing or wistfulnes, or a lot of other nuanced feelings depending on other colors or context clues.

And of course magenta (bottom middle) and that coral-ish color are love, more or less. It's a sense of fondness and deep affection, though Al-an himself is probably under the impression it's more like a loyalty and protectiveness; I don't think he has any real experience with love considering what we know about the network.

The coral color in the center of his chest is something I'll dive into more when I get that chapter out, but I think of it as a flush/heat, like an Architect blush. Orange is added to colors to increase the intensity of the emotion underneath, such as the inclusion with magenta to mean flustered or to red to mean a more heated rage. An embarassed architect would be fully orange, possibly leaning a bit towards pink, red or yellow depending on the specific situation.

For an "emotionless peak of innovation and efficiency" I am determined to shove SO many feelings into this shrimp horse. This stream of word spaghetti will eventually get rewritten into a basic color code.

R-T’s screen glitched slightly as it saw the scene unfold in the monitor he was looking at.

“Well… you don’t have to yell it…” R-T mumbled as it watched Mr. P go back to his work. It knew it wasn’t well liked amongst the brawlers, but it couldn’t help but feel a bit hurt by that fact. It wasn’t its fault that it was its job to be the security here. If they didn’t want it to know their secrets then they should be more observant of their soundings. Really, if they paid attention more they could find a lot of the hidden cameras it had and turn them off or put a sticky note on the lens at least. But no, blame the bot with the cameras…

It… wasn’t fair. It was just doing it’s damn job! Why does it have to be the villain in their story!? Why!? Because they couldn’t be more careful with their damn secrets that it didn’t even want to know it the first place!? Seriously, it would love to see them in its posit-!!!

ANGER MANAGEMENT MODULE: ACTIVATED

“…!”

R-T’s thoughts were interrupted by the flashing letters that appeared in its vision. It tried to see pass them and saw on the reflection of one of the monitors that its screen was glitching more strongly now.

Right… its anger was getting the better of it again. The flashing letters soon turned to the basic instructions of how to calm down it has seen a million times before. R-T absentmindedly followed the instructions, more to get them off of its screen than to calm itself down. Even so, it did feel a little bit better after it was done.

R-T did a quick look at Mr. P’s monitor before turning its attention to another one. It really shouldn’t get caught up about what others thought about it again, it distracts it from doing its job properly.

Beside, it had more important things to do than to watch Mr. P do a boring document.

A porter had just finished its rounds with the guests, making sure they had their individual needs and occasional wants, when it had gotten the sudden feeling of being watched, even more so than usual.

The porter made its way to Mr. P's office, where all of the porters separate cubbies are, and the feeling never left. In fact, it felt like the increased feelings of being watched had spread over to the other resting porters and even Mr. P.

Speaking of Mr. P. He was finishing up e-mails and documents on his computer when he suddenly gotten a notification that read:

He stared at it then scoffed. "Not even on the seemingly endless network called the Internet could I escape you." The penguin mumbled.

"Privacy would be nice once in a while" he spat while clicking on the blog, trying to find the block button.

There was hesitation when he finally found it. Blocking the security brawler would stop the spying at least on the blog for a little while, he thought. But, ultimately he knew the small bot would find a way to access his blog even if he did block the blog.

Mr. P huffed, as he decided to leave the bot's blog unblocked. He set his mind on a document that he had yet to start in the background of the computer, and closed the Tumblr tab.

cannot resist using the polls to make up a little collaborative story lol.. Not sure how much I can keep it up with my low energy/health problems lol, but I'll try to draw a new picture (+ write a small text blurb and new action options to vote on) each day based on the past day's results, at least for a while. Kind of like a 'sketch a day' type challenge, except story based with votes choosing what happens next. :0

Pssst... Isabeau! Im safe from Siffrins wrath for now... Im giving you some tips. Use rubbing alchohol or nail polish remover on your face!! Sunscreen or lotion also works!! ( @housemaiden-of-change )

Oh yeah! Good idea! Totally forgot you could do that!

Should probably leave for the day if you wanna get out unscathed, though. Hiding won't do much- He's our trap finder for a reason!

die eigentliche Frage: wie viel Duolingo muss ich noch machen, bevor ich hoffen kann, hier auf Deutsch zu schreiben?

(viel mehr, bevor ich etwas Interessantes sagen kann! aber die Katze sitzt jetzt auf mir, was nicht interessant zu hören, aber ganz angenehm zu erleben ist. 😽)

i’m tired of having to explain to my friends why i had to make a post basically begging for support while im unable to work because it only makes me more angry every time i do so. like i can’t get short term disability because that’s not a benefit that they offer and even if they did, i would have to pay for that myself in order to get it. i could’ve rolled over my old plan from the previous owner to the new owner and pay for it separately. but the one time i had used it, they put me under illness and not injury (which is what it was. because i injured my foot and couldn’t stand to do my job. i even put it as an injury and they said i lied and changed it) and the payout i got barely covered my bills. i didn’t see a point in continuing to pay for a service that would do that plus it took a full month after i went back to work to even get the payout. the only benefits they offer at 401(k) with them matching, PTO, and health insurance. that’s it. i’m using what’s left of my PTO this week to bulk up my paycheck so i can actually get some kind of money but after that i don’t know when i’ll have a paycheck next. i’m looking for work because i can’t afford not to work. there’s nothing in place to protect the worker at my job in the event of this happening. the only reason im not completely losing my mind is because im still able to get health insurance while im unable to work but that’s not because of them. that’s because of FMLA. if that wasn’t in place, who the fuck knows man

The longer I spend in trigun fandom the more sure I am that it makes me happier than p5 fandom. Like I vaguely thought about making a discord for fans of my p5 fic but did away with the thought bc I did NOT want to deal with all the bullshit of interacting with the fandom so directly

But I've had a trigun server for 2 months now and I like it a lot actually. It's so nice! I love my server a lot!

And genuinely, trigun fandom is not without its faults. I get skeeved out so much by That entire part of the fandom, but I've generally made it manageable by blocking anyone who makes me see that shit in the tags :p. Within my pairing of choice, it's almost peaceful! Still not without fault, but most of the worst shit I generally see is bad mischaracterization. It's nothing like the worst shit I've seen with akeshu fandom.

So like. Vashwood vs akeshu. I love both pairings very much. But holy fucking SHIT vashwood fandom is so much more tolerable than akeshu fandom. Oh my Fucking god. Yeah there's some very good reason aside from general hyperfocus stuff as to why I've been playing around with trigun so much more than p5 lol

Ngl folks, I have just about had it. Apologies in advance if I am more snappy than usual over the next weeks, but my pettiness level is at critical mass.

[lightofunova]

Yes, hi, hello 👀 how about 🌺?

Hmmm, thinking over everyone I don’t think anyone has left a major impression on Reshi just yet! Hawke and Zeke are currently the ones she knows best I think, but even so it’s pretty surface level, mostly just aquaintences. With some more interaction I’m sure a friendship can form/they’ll end up on the relationship chart!!

[theunconcernedembalmer]

Mr Gatto, do you like doing your job? Is it something you enjoy doing?

(Also take care of yourself Mun! :D)

Even after everything... I don't think I will be changing my job anytime soon.
