It just feels like something she'd pull, ngl

WAIT A MINUTE!!!

in What Do You Say when Tom is like "nah I'm shopping for myself" and proceeds to be super awkward, it reads like just a normal goof in a fumbling, tripping-over-your-words conversation with an estranged ex you still have feelings for because we know he IS there for his kid, he said as much before. getting this toy for Tim is the whole point of him going to the mall.

but while listening to this for the ???th time, i realized he really IS shopping for himself! he only thinks it's for his kid because Wiggly's weird hypnotism/influence is telling him to want the doll, and that's how his mind is rationalizing it—he wants, no, he NEEDS this toy, so it must be for his kid, because why else would he want one? but it's really for him.

So I figure his "I'm shopping for himself" is either a mistake on his part that does some clever foreshadowing, or it's him still feeling close enough to Becky to be honest with her about it (while also doing some clever foreshadowing), which is honestly pretty cute, even if he immediately gets self conscious and awkward about it, lol.

Not only does Simon get to live his life now feeling fulfilled and accepting his existence and worth. But Betty gets to move on. her wish is fulfilled. She has forgiven herself, she has forgiven Simon. She’s saved him and now she’s being reincarnated restarting free to make new decisions hopefully with the lessons of this existence etched into her bones. perhaps in the calm and comfortable life on and apple orchard.

— So, it's really, really, really over, right? — Yeah. — Or maybe not. It can't end just yet, while he is still around.

Creating Mayan Glyphs Using Blender - AI Training Data

While there are plenty of images of real-world Mayan glyphs, many of these are not in publicly available database systems. Therefore, in order to create a Mayan Glyph translation tool that can work in real-world, carved and moulded, settings you need to get creative.

I first created M-AI-AN a couple of years ago using convolutional neural networks to classify basic single form glyphs. It was successful, but was limited to black and white/greyscale images of printed glyphs.

Now, after a few years experience under the belt, I thought it would be good to try again. This time, thanks to the power of masking modifiers, and the Python control line, in Blender - plus the use of transformer models to make multi-glyph classification a walk in the park. @roxcake - you will be happy to know that the model uses distinct square "patches" of the image to help classify, now using multi-head attention instead of 5 seperate CNNs.

Essentially, a 3D setup is used to create a vertex mask on to a plane, with glyph images in pure black-and-white format:

The Python script then effectively reads all of these images from a folder, and iterates across all of them, saving them into a specified folder - ready to feed the machine.

I am currently considering changing the light source location and image textures at random as well, but due to the number of glyphs I create with the multi-affix system, it isn't feasible to create multiple iterations per glyph without destroying my hard-drive!

What I was expecting when I started this little project: lots of interesting motifs to draw, having to figure out symmetry in odd objects

What I was not expecting: archaic Sumerian pictograph and proto-cuneiform deep dive

Finally beat the Returnal DLC so have some screenshots :D thought the story couldn't get more devastating but I was wrong :))))))))

[active-mind-15]

Last character I drew was Akashi, and the last game I played was Chants of Sennaar. He'll be fine. Knowing him, he'd probably do better at it than me.

The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?

The detective work I just had to do to translate back a line of Void Speak because I forgot to save the translation the first time around!

[random-cattai]

Someone on the Gravity Falls Reddit got the book already.

It's as expected. I haven't seen spoilers but the comment section hints at stuff.

I have a feeling that there's going to be many a fan of the doritio at the three book signings (San Diego, Seattle, Portland. Tickets on Sale on the 17th, link on Alex's twitter) that are either going to laugh, be slightly traumatized, or just get disgusted.

Me? I'm going to start building up my defenses as the due date to the version of the book I ordered draws closer.

Give me a sentence to make into gem glyph!

I will doddle a Sapphire saying it.

Please keep sfw.

Idk if this is a huge request or not, but could you explain more about Bell? (The shitten in your au)

I would be thankful, take care.

Yeah, ive done like... 3 pieces of her max but she gets SO many asks lol. the story isn't really ready for her yet, and i'd like to finish what im working on before i do more with her, but i'll give the basic rundown.

she LITTERALY started as a joke baby post but she got so much interaction i said i'd expand on her design and now she seems to just have a following of simps (oops, like lamb like daughter)

most of the old ideas for ewen and nari with her are out of date now on the art, but heres a bunch of plot and some unposted sketches under cut

Nari and Ewen are married and leading the cult still. all the siblings have kids, grandkids and even great grandkids (excluding shamura). Its only after they decide having a child is someone for them to love and raise, not someone who they're forcing the cycle of trauma on that they have Bell. And they adore her. While growing up, one by one, the former bishops, all her aunts, uncles, and shamura decided it was time to peacefully end their long lives. So she sees death as a good thing, the satisfying end to a long life story. So when Ewen and Narinder are ready to die together, even though they say she doesn't have to, she takes on the crown and ends if for them with a last "i love you" between them. She runs the cult now which is more themed around their shared neck wound "rings" and their relationship than just the lamb. She's called "the black sheep" by her followers (or queen if they're kinky, princess when shes younger). she wields the crown as a pair of horns and a sythe, sine the cult of the black rings also referenced Ewen's large black horns and she keeps up the theme.

Baal and Aym are her "brothers" (more of her body guards and technically her cousins but she refuses to call them anything else) and her body guards, staying after their master's death. They've known her since she was a baby and still treat her as one sometimes. She's VERY protective over them, but also will bully them sometimes, like kicking their asses when training and saying they're just going easy on her like when she was a kid, knowing full well she's overpowered by the crown.

Because shes such an oddity, the mystic seller assigned one of their followers to keep an eye on her and, much like her "ba ba" she found the overpowered demigod shes now obsessed with. With some help from Ewen before they passed, they were able to translate their glyphs. Now that helper follows her around disguised as a poor imitation of a regular mortal to better understand her and the mortal realm. Or at least thats what she convinced them to do since she wants them around <3 probably not to their masters liking lol. I haven't decided on a name yet. Bell eventually give them the purple crown (they/it)

Before they left, Narinder was trying to reawaken the crowns, whether for the memory of his siblings, or that the cult was growing too large to be centered on the red crown. They're not very powerful right now and Bell is the leader of the others, more like a babysitter.

The blue crown is with Kalliope (kalli for short) (she/her), a distant relative of Kallamar's who had to fight, both physically and socially, with all her other of age relatives to get the chance, since Kallamar's polycule made a LOT of kids and grand kids. She's kind of bitchy about it and whines about everyone not respecting her or how hard she worked. shes a flamboyant cuttlefish and trans femme. also the crown is worn like an earring. Bell has little tolerance for her and they have a lot of bitchy girl fights.

The green crown is with isop (a kinda combo of isopod and aesop) (he/him) who is a rubber ducky isopod. he's Leshy's great great grandkid, and really only god the crown because no one else on the peaceful forest farm leshy put together in his later years really wanted it and figured it meant free babysitting. he's pretty young and small with a fascination for chaos and violence that only little kids without developed social perception can have, though he more watches at this point. The others tend to carry him or he rolls around in a little ball. The crown is worn like glasses.

The orange crown is with Mycelia (lia for short) (they/them plural) who is a homunculus mushroomo made through experimentation by Heket and Sozo before they died. they're the only one who is actually older than Bell. They're undying because they're a hive mind of all the mushroomo, who have been progressively growing. They can see everything the others see, can spout new bodies when needed and even feed on their own dead bodies. Bell sometimes just kills them when they're frustrated with them or other things. They'd be a threat but they're very monotone and emotionless about pretty much everything and don't care. They've worked with the red crown just because death is a natural boon to fungus and keeps them alive. The orange crown is worn as a necklace.

Heres some sketches since I haven't been able to get the designs to my liking but people keep asking so :T
