HI PJ!!!! 🫂🫂🌈🌈🌈 do you think i could get…. 💥,🍧,✏️ for sacha AND MAYBEEEE IF ITS NOT TOO MUCH 🎨 and 🌠 for melody? ^_^ THANK YOU!!!!! i miss her…….
HIIII HIIII GLOOMY !!!!!!!!! 🫂💘💘💕💕💓💗💖🌈🌈💘💓💖💖 YES YESS ABSOLUTELY I WOULD LOVEE TO, IT'S NO PROBLEM AT ALL!!!!!!!! ^_^ <3333 THANK U SO SO MUCH FOR THESE QUESTIONS!!!!!! <3333 Sacha and Melody are admittedly among my faves SO I'M QUITE EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THEM ALWAYS!!!!!!! 🚶♂️
MELODY
🎨 PALETTE - can they draw? what do they like to draw?
YESSS MELODY CAN DRAW!!!! 💪💪 Though she doesn't tend to draw in an illustrative way... Rather, she draws as part of her fashion design work/hobby!!!!! So, she can draw a basic silhouette of a person, but she really likes drawing clothing most of all!!!!! ^_^ SHE LOVES DRAWING FRILLY CLOTHES with bows or clothing with thick, wooly fabric the best!!! Those are also her favorite materials to work with, so it makes sense that a lot of her designs incorporate those materials INTO THEM!!!!‼️‼️
🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?
THIS IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION FOR HER ESPECIALLY... Since Melody sees all events as predestined as a part of a divine plan... Wishing to change anything about that plan would be DIFFICULT for her TO SAY THE LEAST HEHE... but MELODY IS THE TYPE TO WISH FOR WORLD PEACE totally earnestly and whole heartedly, she wants everyone to be able to live safely and securely. She looks at the struggles in her own life as events that are bound to happen, usually carrying some kind of wisdom or lesson, so she can easily let things roll off of her back even if they aren't going the way she would like for them to. (And tbh her life is pretty good even when things aren't going to plan, she comes from a close-knit, wealthy family). She figures that everything will work out for her in the end!!!! ^_^ THAT BEING SAID, she DOES wish that people who are less fortunate than her didn't have to struggle for their basic human needs to be met. She just hates to know that others are living in insecurity... Even if she sees those events as predestined... If she could ALTER IT AT ALL THAT'S WHAT SHE WOULD WANT. For everyone to be able to live securely and peacefully!!!!
SACHA
💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?
ENVY ONE MILLION PERCENT. SACHA IS A JEALOUS, INSECURE FELLA. Their envy drives them to do very irrational and cruel things and it contributes to them becoming disconnected from reality ☹️ Sacha feels very passionless, like she doesn't really feel strongly enough about anything to choose a career or a major or anything for herself... So she gets really jealous when she sees people who seem to KNOW what they love and what they want to do (for example... HER POOR POOR BOYFRIEND 😭😭)!!! Her lack of ambition leaves her feeling insecure and like a failure and she unfortunately takes it out on the people she's closest to in the end .... EEK!!!!
🍧 SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it?
Sacha had a very LONELY childhood 😭!!! They were neglected OFTEN and usually only had the company of their own creations as they grew up... THEY ALSO GREW UP ON THE INTERNET, considering all the extra free time they had. BUT in terms of objects, I think I would say that Sacha keeps the little art gifts that they and their friends traded online. DURING THEIR DEVIANTART DAYS. HAHAHA. They're not tangible items necessarily, but they mean A WHOLE LOT TO THEM REGARDLESS. Because those people that he made friends with online were his ONLY friends and they really helped him in his darkest years!!!!!!!! AND I THINK IF HE SOMEHOW LOST THE FILES, he would be... HEARTBROKEN in a way..... I don't think he would be as IRATE as he would be frustrated and sad... I could also see him becoming a little obsessive about trying to get the files back. But once the reality sets in, that the files are gone, they would just give up and mope about it for a while. It might make him more likely to TRY AND FIND HIS OLD INTERNET FRIENDS THOUGH. Like to reach out and talk/reconnect again, so maybe it wouldn't be all bad AT LEAST 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
✏️ PENCIL - is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?
I ACTUALLY HAVE SEVERAL... MOSTLY FROM HIS BOARD.... On Pinterest 🚶♂️
BUT ALSO Whenever I see him I think of "JE SUIS HORRIBLE" and "je suis struggling" LOLOLLLL If I'm allowed a SILLY ANSWER
#THANK YOU AGAIN GLOOMY!!!!!!!! FOR THESE QUESTIONS#I'm glad that I'm getting the chance to elaborate on these two.... MY SILLIES.#💭 — ask#oc; sacha#oc; melody#tw religion mention

Hiiii love!! (Know I am resisting the urge to just send you every question on that list)
4. What do you enjoy about making graphics / gifs?
8. Your favourite graphic and or gif created by yourself
27. Advice you’d give yourself when you were starting out?
Hello, my dear! Please feel free to ask away. Lol. I'm honestly only afraid that I'll ramble on for too long.
4. What do you enjoy about making graphics / gifs?
Oh gosh. Having an idea come together, being able to share it, and seeing if people respond to it.
It tends to be ideas that are a little less straightforward that actually get me motivated to make gifs. (Energy, time, and motivation are not always in alignment. Oof.) So, it’s often something like a parallel, or making use of an external quote, or wanting to tell a story that pushes me forward.
Then, I get to play. It's really fun to put different scenes together and figure out if they fit, if they tell the story I want. @lizzie-bennetdarcy, I know that you, in particular, are all too often witness to me agonizing over these choices (you have the patience of a saint, istg), but I promise this is the fun part for me. Hahaha.
And if I actually manage to finish the set and post it, then I get to see if my intent comes across, to see if people have feelings about it. Or maybe I'll find out that it speaks to me and 5 other people, max. Lol. But in general? Having it out in the world and not stuck in my head is always a great thing.
8. Your favourite graphic and or gif created by yourself
Answered this one here: personal favorites
27. Advice you’d give yourself when you were starting out?
Hmmm. I suppose there are two main things here. The first is: just go for it. I have zero experience in graphic design or digital art of any kind. So I was extremely embarrassed to post my attempts, figuring everyone would immediately notice that I didn't know what I was doing. Which, isn't a productive line of thought for learning anything new. (And feels a little silly, given that my own reaction to anyone's new gif set is, "Yay! More gifs!") Do I still have anxiety about posting? 100%. But it's absolutely worth it to push through that.
The other bit of advice is actually from a friend: "Nobody will know that you had other versions of this." I have a horrible time making decisions—which scenes to use, where to cut them, how to crop them, how to color them. Most of the time, that leads me to having to choose between nearly identical versions of a gif, and being absolutely torn. Afraid that I'll make the wrong choice and ruin the set. So, tbh, I still need to be much better about following this advice. Lol.
Thank you so much for the ask, @lizzie-bennetdarcy!
So, I first posted this ask game in September… and then mostly fell off the face of tumblr. Gah. But I'm excited to finally get to these asks, now that I'm more active again. :)

Hiiii! I’ve looked through your tags and couldn’t find anything so I wanted to ask- do you have any tutorials or process steps for your art? It’s really beautiful!
Omg thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that 😭💖💖, and I do have a process! (idk if u can call this a tutorial? Just sort of a general flow of what i usually do) It's pretty simple actually cuz I'm still experimenting with different methods lol. (btw, disclaimer that I'm just self-taught and mostly learned stuff from YouTube hahahahaha)
Let’s use the Merida that I drew some few months ago.
1. Sketch - I just figure out where to place things! I don't rlly bother with details and stuff, just put some shapes in.
2. Line art - I know this made it look like it came out of nowhere but I did an initial line art that looks a bit scratchy before I did this final line art on a separate layer.
3. Base colors - I just block out base colors. I suggest using separate layers for each section (hair, skin, clothes, eyes) so its easier to put in the details later.
4. Shadows - I do this by adding a new layer, set it on "multiply", clip it on top of my base layer, and just select the same color I used for the base to color my shadow. (I usually play around with other colors to use for shadow but this is basically what i did when i was just starting out. Also I'm lazy af.)
5. Highlights - for this I add a "screen" or an "add" layer and, same process with the shadows, I pick the same color as my base and put the highlights in.
6. Coloring the line art - I set the line art layer in "protect alpha" and I color in the lines. (u can color them however u want rlly. For mine i just used a darker shade of my base color and colored the inside lines.)
7. Adding "overlay" layer - after I'm done with everything, I merge all of my layers and then add an "overlay" layer at the top, just to like, bring it all together or something. (For this I airbrushed yellow at the top and pink at the bottom and lowered the layer's opacity at 35%)
Then i just add background and fix stuff if i had to.
That's it! 😀👍
I'm lowkey bad at explaining but I provided some screenshots, i hope it helps hahaha. Also if you have any questions and clarifications and stuff feel free to ask!
App used: MediBang Paint
#Btw this is just a basic flow of what I usually do. Sometimes I go haywire and just do whatever I feel like lol.#I hope this helps!#ALSO WATCH TONS OF VIDEOS AND TUTORIALS ON YOUTUBE I SWEAR IT'LL HELP#Ask#Anon#art process

HIIII hope you have been well my dearest last airbender hehe. i have so much exciting things to share <333
so first off, i did two wish rolls the other night and guess what? on one roll i got BOTH bennett AND qiqi!!!!!! (the other one was just weapons but 🤷🏽♀️) i love them both so much i literally ascended them the second i got them. i still can’t believe my luck. so now my team looks like: traveller, noelle and those two. i’m having a little issue bc i don’t have a long range combat character but i love them all too much to change anything. which means i struggle sometimes maybe if i roll for someone else in the future i might change but rn i’m LOVING them. have you ever had luck like that?
AND i started watching haikyuu again and i forgot how funny it is. i usually don’t laugh out loud while watching things but i was literally chuckling while watching some moments. i’ve only watched 10 eps-ish but i fell in love with it again at the first ep already. i cant believe i dropped it before i’m so stupid.
ok that’s all the updates i had hahaha ! i was like buzzing waiting to tell you lmaidhdhdbd 🥺
oikawa is SO pretty it’s insane. when he showed up i was like yeah.... that’s him. that’s the pretty boy. but then again pretty much everyone is pretty in haikyuu who the hell are we supposed to focus on hehdhd the art style is just that good yk?
ships that have silent (+ points for angry) yearning are just superior. and usually they fall in the enemies/rivals category which is lovely. nothing is finer than watching people struggle with their feelings like mmmmmm... tasty. also as good as rareships can be, popular ships are popular for a reason yk? like canon content isn’t everything ofc but if canon can back it up in some way more people tend to be interested heh
wanna know something super weird? when i consume content i always fall for the stotic bois with angst backstories first but after i finish the shows i always miss the cute happy babies and that makes me obsessed with them? idk it’s crazy like voltron for example keith is literally my favorite character of all time but when i finished voltron i was literally bawling bc i missed lance so much help
well i guess we’re talking about voltron now HAHA 😭 dude s3 was a fucking blessing i can’t believe we got that and they just cut it off cold. the leader and his right hand man dynamic makes me yell to this day 😭😭😭 remember all the scenes where they continuesly reassured each other 😭 the ‘leave the math to pudge’ scene lives in my head rent free no joke dhdnhdbdud... s3 was just them loving each other tenderly and dw stole it from us.. ALSO PLEASE WRITE THEM AGAIN LITERALLY BEGGING 😭 pls 🥺
dude our government doesn’t give a shit we literally have politics traveling around and chilling without masks. they don’t care at all we barely have any restrictions so people don’t care either. it’s a mess here ngl.. :/
can’t wait to hear from u again... mwah!
hi hi!!!! is this gonna end up being 2 replies in one day for you again HAHAHA i’ll try not to disappear after
!!!!!!!!!! QIQI AND BENNETT??!!?!!!!!!!! oh my goodness… oh my goodness!!! i can’t believe you got a 5 star before me fjskskkdd but big deserve 😭😭😭😩😩😩 i’m so happy for you nejdnskamxlxmm holy shit!!!!! that’s so cute tho that’s such a cute team… and big mood!! who cares about team dynamics/fighting styles all that matters is that you like them 😩 but also does that mean you currently have 3 sword users and 1 claymore on your team jdjsndnsm. i also used to not have a ranged fighter on my team but it just got so inconvenient lolol. and no my luck is actual ass :( so often i only roll weapons, and when i do roll charas it’s like. all the base free ones djdkskdk
haikyuu is SO funny!!! everyone’s humour is so >>>> omg they’re just silly boys… are you restarting it from the very first ep? and it’s all good if you dropped it before bc you’re coming back to it now and that’s what matters 😩 keep me updated tho! i’m so excited to hear what you think
HFJDNSKSN sorry i went mia and made you wait chksjs WHICH REMINDS ME!! omg i’ve been meaning to tell you and keep forgetting but i downloaded genshin on my phone last week for my trip and it’s so??? difficult? like mad mad respect to you for being able to play on mobile omg… maybe it’s just bc i was used to pc already but damn.. djsjjs
HAHA yeah just admiring the visuals instead of focusing on the story.. we’ve all been there 😩 sometimes you just gotta rewind and take 48394993 screenshots of the one scene you know? who let them be so gorgeous..
yesssss the mutual oblivious pining is so good.. like they’re enemies to lovers but they’re also IDIOTS to lovers… or my fave headcanon which hurts so bad… the one person (keith) pining for their rival (lance) but it’s unrequited and they’ve just accepted that and are kinda resigned to it but. they just want them to be happy above all else :’) :’(
and honestly you are so right like if the popular ship are foils and have all these parallels between them and a deep backstory and stuff that’s so good too there’s so much food AHAH
omg that’s kinda cute tho.. like once you’re done you enter the honeymoon phase w bubbly outgoing charas.. (speaking of honeymoons when’s ours 🤪) speaking of lance he deserved everything lmao.. he deserves everything PRESENT TENSE!!! wow we are really talking about vld in 2021 huh
LEAVE THE MATH TO PIDGE!!! I AM SCREAMING JUST THIBKING ABLIT THIS TOO!! WHAT THE FUCK DOCYOUCMEAN KEITH. WHY DIDNYOUCSAY IT WITH THAT SMILE. LANCE WHY DIDNYOU SMILE LIKE THAT IN RETURN. LEAVE THE MATH TO- KEITH EXPLAIN??? WHA WERE YOU WDOIDJGNDKDNSKFKDKFNDNNCMS the way that lance went from ‘despising’ keith and hating being beaten by him in everything to SEEKING OUT HIS ADVICE AND COMFORT???? IF THAT ISNT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS like their relationship progressed so so so so so so so so SO much in that one single season… like. i cannot BELIEVE that was real???? no fucking way. like. we were literally so close.. SO FUCKING CLOSE!!!!!!!! my god the trust they had in each other..… LANCE SEEKING KEITH OUT!!! lance accepting keith as the leader before even keith accepted himself EVEN WHEN LANCE HIMSELF SO DESPARATELY WANTED TO BE THE BLACK PALADIN bUT RECOGNISING IT WASNT WHAT THE BLACK LION WANTED AND i have to stop or else i’ll literally never stop typing chskdkdkndcuksncjxjskcoskosnaksj
hhhhhhh i wanna write them sometimes i get hit with the feels SO SO BAD (like just then? LOL) but i haven’t properly written them in so long i feel like i don’t even know how to anymore D; but anyway do you have any prompts? i have so many wips (i have one fic that i said was gonna be my Final klance fic but lmao i’m never gonna finish it at this stage so i guess i’m also not done writing klance? lmao) but after a while i just. have no desire to go back to them anymore fjdjjx so something new might spark my motivation! but also no promises sorry i always say i’ll do shit but never do JEKSKS altho i will try!! i’ll try bust out at least a drabble even if it ends up as an unfinished wip as well lol 😩
oh fucking rip that’s so horrible i’m so sorry you have to deal with that :((( legit it’s so upsetting to see so many governments just. complacent and not caring about this issue at all like?? this is your job? you’re literally meant to be doing all these things to help us right now and you’re just not. which i guess unfortunately also makes sense bc they’re the ones who would suffer least. it’s so frustrating lmaoooo >:(
:***** i’ve stayed up again bc i am Not intelligent fjskdk but i’m looking forward to your response!! goodnight and sweet dreamssss (for when you next sleep LOL) 💗😘

May 25th, 2017 CTP Archive
The archive for the Comic Tea Party chat that occurred on May 25th, 2017, from 5PM - 7PM PST. The chat focused on There’s No Such Thing as Jason - I.T. by Phenylketonurics.
Featured Comment:
Chat:
RebelVampire
Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning. This week we are discussing There’s No Such Thing as Jason - I.T. by Phenylketonurics ~! (https://tapas.io/series/Theres-No-Such-Thing-as-Jason----IT) As CTP is brand-new, please allow me a brief moment to elaborate how the chats are formatted a bit in more detail than I will do for other chats (i.e. prepare for wall of text). The discussions are mostly meant to be freeform, so you can bring up whatever topic you would like about the comic. That being said, in order to help foster discussion, every 30 minutes I’m going to drop in a question. These questions are TOTALLY OPTIONAL, so if you have no interest in answering them, that is perfectly fine; you are welcome to ignore the questions completely. It’s simply going to be there to help those who need a bit of prompting to get into the discussion. As I’ve mentioned in other places, constructive criticism is allowed, please just be sure to be respectful towards the work. Keep in mind you’re also not obligated to give criticism. The goal of these chats is to have fun, talk about comics, and grow as a community. So please discuss what you wish. Since this is the first chat, I also want to mention this chat is free to drop-in and drop-out. If you can’t stay the full two hours, then that’s perfectly fine. Stay as long as you would like~! Tl;dr: Freeform discussions, but OPTIONAL questions will be dropped in every 30 mins. Ignore if it pleases you and have fun.
With that said, let us begin with this first question~!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
DracoPlato
1. The scene where the antenna was coming out of Dim really stuck with me visually as well as from a shock value so that's probably my favorite atm.
RebelVampire
ah yeah that was a really standout scene. with a lot of wtf value.
AngelicEmpyress
Oh my gosh favorite scene
that's a tough one
i think the scene where we first see view and jason as two different people
that was a big what wut? to me
loads of wth value XD
DracoPlato
definitely!
RebelVampire
haha for me i sadly dont remember that scene as well. not cause it wasnt powerful but because my mind was already blown and swirling with what exactly is going on with jason's identiy stuff
AngelicEmpyress
lol i STILL don't know what's going on and i read it twice XD
DracoPlato
hmmm like did sten create a game and is somehow merging it with the "real" world
AngelicEmpyress
oh and i loved the scene when jason is outside and suddenly puts his hood on and his eyes go red and hes like "im not jason"
RebelVampire
ah yeah that was a really great image
i really liked the color contrasts in it
DracoPlato
oh Pheny's art is gorgeous, so many scenes stick with me because of the lighting and colors and panel layouts they use
AngelicEmpyress
yes!
the hair
all the hair
RebelVampire
picking a favorite scene is hard. i think im going to go with the flashback scene of where jason and dim meet. mostly cause i think jason is adorable and i think it gives better insight into what his original personality is.
DracoPlato
haha young jason is adorable
AngelicEmpyress
lol lil jason doesn't seem too different from now jason in so many ways
DracoPlato
i like his iced tip hair reminiscent of the 90s
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
DracoPlato
Pheeeeeny~!!
Phenylketonurics
YO! Oh, it's so exciting to see what some of the favourite scenes are, rock on! ICED TIP HAIR YES!!
AngelicEmpyress
hey there!
DracoPlato
My bro totally had that look going on when he was a teen, lol
AngelicEmpyress
Hahaha
Phenylketonurics
Hello hello~!! THANK YOU so much for being here, aa~
RebelVampire
glad you could make it~!
AngelicEmpyress
oh mah goodness your art is so awesome
Phenylketonurics
And yeah, the whole split in seeing Jason versus View, establishing that these are indeed two different "people" is one of my favourite scenes in the comic as well (I'm so happy for the kind words, wow, mega gobs of gratitude!)
THANK YOU EMPYRESS!!
AngelicEmpyress
and the story is a real page turner especially since thrillers are a genre i normally dont touch with a 10 ft pole
Phenylketonurics
Oh wow, that is a huge compliment then, dang! I'll admit, thrillers are also something I'm weary of -- they're tricky to follow!
DracoPlato
true! It's not usually my genre of choice either, but I just love how thought provoking Jason is
AngelicEmpyress
but i like the 'try to put the pieces together youself'
DracoPlato
yeah!
It's more thought provoking than any other comic i've read
AngelicEmpyress
though i will say this...in your descriptions, when you say "this connects to such and such page" it would be better if you say the episode... since you can't track the actual pages easy in tapas
Phenylketonurics
YES!! Oh man, I hoped so hardcore that it could be approached with the reader's perspective, the reader's ideas in highlight -- THAT is the key to figuring things out.
AngelicEmpyress
so i had a tough time maneuvering back and forth
DracoPlato
oh that's a good point AE!
cosmographia
hey hey hi sorry here I am!! :D/
AngelicEmpyress
hi there!
DracoPlato
Hiiii Cosmo~!!
Phenylketonurics
!!! AE YES! That would be way better, thank you so much. YO COSMO!!
cosmographia
EY!!
Phenylketonurics
Stoked to see you here, aa~!!
cosmographia
Stoked to BE here, so glad people have received it so well!! (cuz I agree with all of this, the comic is phenomenal!)
AngelicEmpyress
also...i feel jason's pain with that noise... i have mesophonia so it would probably drive me completely insane XD
Phenylketonurics
SO MUCH KINDNESS from killer rad creators, wow, I'm on high for the rest of the year, man. Mesophonia is something I am fascinated with, wow, no one talks about that!! RAD.
AngelicEmpyress
really?
no one i met had ever heard of it XD
RebelVampire
ah yeah i empathize with jason's pain noise as well. mostly because my ears are sensitive to cpu hums because ever since i got sick one time, ive been able to pick up the frequency of when its switching to different activity states and it took me like weeks at first to block out the annoyance of it and it drove me quite bananas. could barely even sleep.
AngelicEmpyress
i can hear that too Rebel
DracoPlato
oh wow
cosmographia
oh wow
AngelicEmpyress
least jason handles it better than me XD
Phenylketonurics
The effects of one's sensitivity to the frequencies of such auditory signals is definitely something Jason's dealing with, oh man, this is MAJORLY awesome you know about it firsthand.
cosmographia
yea I've had experiences like that too there's this weird white noise that comes from this one supermarket here and I've asked my family if they hear it and they've said they haven't. And it HURTS. I HATE going to that store hahah <"D
AngelicEmpyress
the ones that are key to me send me into ultimate rage and I cant concentrate on ANYTHING
cosmographia
oh! 80
AngelicEmpyress
i have to wear headphones all day at work because of it
RebelVampire
jason is handling it better than me too. for a week i wore my mom's insulated headphone things that ppl wear when theyre doing loud hardware stuff.
Phenylketonurics
Right, exactly! It's a very physical experience even if it's invisible -- Jason's just starting to re-experience the auditory assault. In one flashback, we see it causes him pretty severe headaches. ;o;
(it in conjunction with the whole video game programme test, aah(
cosmographia
-nod nod-
ngl for like...a LONG time I kept denying that all of this was actually happening (in the comic I mean hahaha)
Phenylketonurics
BUT YES, the whole idea behind Jason as it started was that I wanted people to bring their personal experiences with anomalies and troubled memories forward, inject them side-by-side with Jason's experience.
cosmographia
it wasn't till the recent updates I started taking the experiences more seriously, or more like...ACTUALLY happening, I thought they were psychological projections
now i'm like "WHAT" (with the most recent updates from last month to now)
Phenylketonurics
SEE!! yeah, I really hoped it would migrate from being psychological as in "not happening" to psychological and "VERY MUCH HAPPENING"
AngelicEmpyress
oh i like how Dim and Day look visually different in the past vs the present...i love that detail
RebelVampire
ah its a few mins early but this is a good time to drop in the next question XDXD
QUESTION 2. The comic deals with a lot of themes of perception, perspective, psychology and more. In other words, things aren’t quite what they seem. What in the story are you sure is “real” and what are you sure isn’t “real?” Is there anyone you trust in the story for an objective viewpoint into the events?
Phenylketonurics
oh cool cool, AE, I'm so happy to hear that, thank you!!!
cosmographia
YEP it was a punch to the face (metaphorical and in this case welcoming )
Itrustnoone.
AngelicEmpyress
omg...
i have no idea what is real or not yet XD
i still dont know what the heck is going on XDDDD
cosmographia
Phen keeps pulling the rug from the reader's feet
Phenylketonurics
Hahah! There's A LOT in the air right now, too, haha^^
That rug just tosses everything around!
cosmographia
in a GOOD way mind you!
it's like "-snap fingers- Ya got me again hahahahawhatishappening"
OH YEA def!
AngelicEmpyress
im sure that jason has feelings for Day... i think >.> then again even that is questionable at times
RebelVampire
i feel like the comic could have the assassins creed slogan underneath. about how nothing is true, everything is permitted.
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
cosmographia
seems to me like a co-dependency relationship as in any feelings are just a need for validation turned into romantic attraction
AngelicEmpyress
ah i can see that
Phenylketonurics
AE -- YOU ZOOMED RIGHT IN on a really big part of interplay that feeds on Jason -- View is mixed in definitely but like Cosmo said, co-dependency is an element to how this thing manifests.
Superjustinbros
WHOAH THE MAN HIMSELF APPEARED!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
cosmographia
:U!
AngelicEmpyress
lol super
Superjustinbros
HEY PHENY!!!
:DDDD
AngelicEmpyress
i know...we are in the presence of The MAN! XD
Superjustinbros
Sorry if I'm a bit late ^^;;
cosmographia
that being said, even if the situation is so out there, the characters are SO belivable and their reasoning/actions to how this is happening is relatable and understandable
RebelVampire
i feel like the entire comics begs the question of our definition of reality. like, even if these things are happening in Jason's head, are they any less real than things other ppl experience subjectively
Superjustinbros
I agree with that so hard
The characters of this story are written so well
cosmographia
yep!
DracoPlato
yeah i feel that too
Superjustinbros
Plus with the timeskips and flashbacks changing how they look as mentioned before(edited)
And I really feel like I can connect with Jason on a spiritual level of sorts
since me and him actually have quite a bit it common, especially with how lifelike the story gets
Like, without some of the heavier sci-fi elements like the antennas, I'd say this could all very well happen IRL
but if it did happen I wouldn't want an antenna on my head zapping me while I'm trying to do stuff
AngelicEmpyress
lol
zaps super =p
Superjustinbros
is zapped
cosmographia
yea I can definitely see how it's relatable in such a way
this one scene of Jason desperately trying to get an answer out of Dim (sorry forgot the page number) hit way too close to home haha
Superjustinbros
And it's super rare for me to treat a fictional character as someone like myself
So that alone is quite an accomplishment
AngelicEmpyress
wow yeah
cosmographia
damn! Yea
Phenylketonurics
(sorry sorry, wifi I'm using is a nightmare since I'm in a weird area, aaa! VIEW GO AWAY)
Superjustinbros
GET OUT VIEW
AngelicEmpyress
lol!
Superjustinbros
DON'T VIEW THE VIEW
DracoPlato
gdi View
SirDelta God King of Mecha
oh crap i missed the beginig, sorry whats going on
AngelicEmpyress
lol
gah i love that hair
and so much emotion in the eyes
even for just circles
DracoPlato
pheny's art is amaaaaazing~!
so much love
AngelicEmpyress
yus!
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i admit, not too big a fan of the red hair
Superjustinbros
He looks like such a goof too when he's not trying to plot something sinister
AngelicEmpyress
LOL
DracoPlato
don't trust him, he's evil
Superjustinbros
I even got sharp fangs like him
SirDelta God King of Mecha
but isn't he always sinister
Phenylketonurics
EXCELLENTE!! I'm extremely excited to hear that the characters are believable, too! Even if red hair is not a good thing, hahah^^
Superjustinbros
lol
brb never trusting my characters with red hair ever
RebelVampire
delta why you gotta hate the red?
AngelicEmpyress
red is my favorite color
SirDelta God King of Mecha
its not thats its a bad thing, i just don't like the style and color combo gonig on there(edited)
Phenylketonurics
The play on reality of being like... this question in and of itself is another slant that I DEEPLY enjoy seeing people's take on. Yeah, View's hair is something of Jason's past -- he doesn't like it either!
Superjustinbros
lol
So many possible ideas for what would happen
Phenylketonurics
Exactly!
Superjustinbros
if Jason and View started having a serious conversation between each other
RebelVampire
i think i like young jason's hair the best. so spunky yet so cute. i think compared to his older self theres something that capture youthful naivete
DracoPlato
I like the black hair best but I like all the varities
Phenylketonurics
Rebel has it right on, aa!!! I'm just over the moon that you can read that characters' milestone ages so well, thank you!!
Phenylketonurics
Hair itself has a history of being a strong definition of one's identity (culturally speaking)... so I definitely take that into consideration with Jason! He's constantly messing with his hair!
Superjustinbros
XD
cosmographia
nice!
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i see i see
Superjustinbros
That sounded more funny to me than it should've been
DracoPlato
to represent his ever changing self
Phenylketonurics
Yes! Either in denial of events or possibly even as an affirmation, to distance oneself from things that have happened.
Superjustinbros
That's cool~
Phenylketonurics
A LOT of physical cues like... eyes, hands and adornments thereof have roots in the "magic" of the body. It's all a little superstitious, hah^^
Superjustinbros
I like that! It's a great attention to detail~
Phenylketonurics
Thank you, aa!! I'm really glad to hear that you've been able to pick up on these things yourself, though, THAT is like... half my work done, haha^^
Superjustinbros
You're welcome! Don't think I've ever seen a story that has ever done that to such a great extend personally.
AngelicEmpyress
oh....hand....that little whatcha macallit
ffff
keychain?
Phenylketonurics
YES!
The keyring Dim has!
WELL... rings in general (abstracted in Jason's perspective as a goal in the game programme but it goes back to a literal silver ring, one that is held in hands~)
Phenylketonurics
eheheh^^
Superjustinbros
Realy this is all such a deep lore you got going on!
I love it.
And lots of attentions to keep an eye out on
SirDelta God King of Mecha
this is going eva levels of deep
Phenylketonurics
It's been 10+ years in writing, I really gotta make sure not to get excessive with it, yeah? X]
cosmographia
DAMN
Superjustinbros
XP
Phenylketonurics
I started it when I was 19!! I AM 31 NOW WHAT THE HECK
cosmographia
how much has the story changed since the initial idea? :0
AngelicEmpyress
lol i thought you were younger than that lol
Superjustinbros
LOL
DracoPlato
oh hey we're around the same age
AngelicEmpyress
Yup
Superjustinbros
I'm only 22
turning 23 pretty soon tho
AngelicEmpyress
Hehe
SirDelta God King of Mecha
you seems a lot more lively for someone that old than i expeted
Phenylketonurics
Not much, surprisingly! I started with There's No Such Thing as Jason, it's completely written, done. And... I wanted to take the story and expand upon what Jason meant (since the first focused pretty exclusively on View)
Superjustinbros
Aah, cool!
And I've been working on my stuff since I was,... 14? (at least my current stuff)(edited)
AngelicEmpyress
oh wow
cosmographia
cool tho!
I think my comic has gotten a few minor tweaks throughout the years but damn, keeping it like that for a DECADE -applause-
DracoPlato
that is impressive!
Superjustinbros
I've made so many tweaks to my concepts (and really I've bene conceptualising stuff for so long)
SirDelta God King of Mecha
where did the title of the comic from
cosmographia
good you're getting what you want, tho!
Phenylketonurics
MINOR TWEAKS ARE GOOD! It helps keep the narrative organic and fresh. TNSTAJ was a telling of something already very vague so... it was just a matter of style, haha^^
RebelVampire
ah ty delta. you are segwaying into the next question
Phenylketonurics
Oh! The title came from a line in the story!
Superjustinbros
And I have one other series that I retired that was a self-fic that lasted from 2001 (when I was only seven) to 2009(edited)
Phenylketonurics
WELL DANG! WAIT, there's a big change then.
There's No Such Thing as Jason was originally titled "What is Wrong"
Superjustinbros
XD "What's wrong, Jason?"
Phenylketonurics
Then in 2006, I finished writing and loved the line one of the characters says near the beginning, haha^
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i'm confused with the i.t. part at the end
AngelicEmpyress
information technology i would presume
DracoPlato
lol!
Phenylketonurics
The I.T. part gets added on as a sort of "volume 2"
DracoPlato
Jason are you okay
Superjustinbros
What would volume 3 be, then?
SirDelta God King of Mecha
volume 2?
Phenylketonurics
It's the I.T. side, the technical nitty gritty of what Jason is.
SirDelta God King of Mecha
ah ok
RebelVampire
QUESTION 3. What do you think is the significance of the title as it relates to the story? Who is View? Who is Jason? Are they the same person, differing identities, or something else entirely?
Superjustinbros
Aye
AngelicEmpyress
i was right lol
Phenylketonurics
OH THIS QUESTION! W
cosmographia
I was JUST gonna ask about the IT thing I love the reasoning behind it <3
DracoPlato
There's no such thing as Jason
RebelVampire
draco no. youre grounded
AngelicEmpyress
i think view and jason are two parts to the same person and one is trying to overcome the other
DracoPlato
yeah i think that as well
or jason may be a computer program and view is a virus
AngelicEmpyress
oh i like that pov
Superjustinbros
If that wound up being the truth
the part of being "like a compute rprogram"
SirDelta God King of Mecha
from my understanding, i think at some point veiw and jason were the same person, than after some event jason was able to remain the domanit person and go on with his life leaving view in the back of his head just wating to get out and fuck up jasons life
AngelicEmpyress
i feel that view is something that was created for some purpose and is now out of hand
and Dim is kinda the 'ground' persay
DracoPlato
I think Sten created View in his experiments on Jason
AngelicEmpyress
Yes
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i forgot about those
Phenylketonurics
(I am sitting here grinning over every single bit of input, YOU GUYS ARE SO BLOODY SMART WHAT THE HECK MAN!!)
Superjustinbros
LOL
Superjustinbros
YO WE LEVELED UP TOGETHER
SirDelta God King of Mecha
oh cousre your smiling, were all here for your comic
Superjustinbros
Yup~
AngelicEmpyress
i was thinking about the lollipops being what kept view detained, and it kinda showed Dims whole purpose in it all
RebelVampire
maybe view is like the replication of an avatar in real life of some sort. it reminds me of a video i watched the other day about the movie perfect blue and how the movie is about how someone's avatar is something scripted and not the real person. so maybe sten tried to create an avatar that is reflected by the real person.
Superjustinbros
So Jason would be like
Phenylketonurics
Delta has a crazy good point about how people can be buried in the back of our minds and REALLY mess us up when thrust back into our lives -- which ties directly into what AE says about Dim -- his presence is absolutely crucial for Jason (and integral for View)
AngelicEmpyress
and i think Day is just using jason to study more about view
Superjustinbros
God dang I dunno how long I can keep up with thsi chat XD
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
Superjustinbros
It's just all over the palce rn XP
AngelicEmpyress
that's the fun part though super
Superjustinbros
(Also in part cause I have the AC set to low)
AngelicEmpyress
you know how every electrical thing has to be ground or else itd go haywire...there you go view and dim
Superjustinbros
Yeah
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i feel like the jason necklace that he gave day was ment to be some kind of restrictor on view
AngelicEmpyress
but i think Dim is slowly growing tired of his 'job' and fromt hat View is slowly slipping out of grasp
Phenylketonurics
Oh man, YES, electricity!! The electrostatic involved with radio frequencies, a physical output of what happens at a mico-level, yes! The necklace is a definite "controller" of sorts, being something that View is quite focused on whenever he talks with the other characters.
Superjustinbros
HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE NECKLACE XO
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
DracoPlato
I didn't forget
cosmographia
ooh
Phenylketonurics
Oh man, noticing Dim's exhaustion~ He's in a job position that... seems to contradict his history with "fiddly little technical things"
SirDelta God King of Mecha
and now its on day and its fucking up her life so it makes me thing it was specily made for Jason
AngelicEmpyress
i dont know...the line "this metal was never meant for you" i'm not too sure
DracoPlato
my wonder is if any of it is real or if there's another reality outside of the one they exist in
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i coud be wrong, i did binge read it last week
RebelVampire
idk i think day has some issues and doesnt need the necklace to bring havoc in her life. cause i mean dont think the necklace has anything to do with the toxic work environment she clearly has.
Phenylketonurics
Ohoho, Day versus Dim with the necklace and the grades of metal that Jason/View have physiological responses to is massive.
DracoPlato
day definitely has some issues i think, haha
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
SirDelta God King of Mecha
everyone in this comic has issues
Phenylketonurics
Draco!! YES, in conversation with Day, Qress (Dim's sister) mentions reality as being a fun little game to play with, yeah!!
AngelicEmpyress
though we havent touched on what jason's older brother has in all this
DracoPlato
yeeees~ she did
Superjustinbros
Lol
AngelicEmpyress
i think out of all of them, he's the only one on the ground of reality
i think anyway
Superjustinbros
(Apologies if I'm not active much atm, there's other stuff I want to get to)(edited)
DracoPlato
I think sten and jason's brother are most aware of what reality is
AngelicEmpyress
Yes
SirDelta God King of Mecha
well what is reality really, its just how we percive it who knows maybe the others see the "real" reality(edited)
Phenylketonurics
Bringing Sten in (Dim's brother) was so difficult, I hoped so much that it would be interesting and not simply break that reality (since yes, reality is dependent on perspective which is often very much skewed!)
RebelVampire
i think bringing in sten actually vastly added a new hand to the table so to speak about what reality. cause things i assumed werent real suddenly were.
SirDelta God King of Mecha
oh yay, existentialism
AngelicEmpyress
i think the only time it was broken for me was with Qress... her scenes just seemed to happen outside of everything else and almost felt it didn't belong
Phenylketonurics
Existentialists, just hold your finger up to any argument and say, "but what's the point" X] BUT NO, no, hopefully I can steer clear of that kinda thing. Qress is heavy, oh my gosh, I'm so glad you said that AE!
AngelicEmpyress
and its almost like after her scene, i forgot about her
cosmographia
I agree with what Rebel said about Sten
DracoPlato
yeah i do too
sten is a huge piece i think
SirDelta God King of Mecha
but whats the point (i had too)
RebelVampire
if i absolutely had to pick someone to trust in this story it would be Qress actually. i think Qress seems the most innocent party so far in what happened in the past. cause even jason's brother mentioned having an idea of what was going on.
DracoPlato
same
i want to see more of her
AngelicEmpyress
i think i trust the brother...i dont know why (cuz im weird)
DracoPlato
I trust no one until it's over
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
Phenylketonurics
IT IS SO GOOD to hear that Sten cemented the reality of the main three in place, heck yes, thank you!! The Qress and Day conversation was a tiny little fragment of establishing their relationship, REALLY hope to expand upon that!
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i don't trust anyone is this comic, too many fucked up people
its just layers of counter manipulation
cosmographia
yea like...without him dropping answers, he GAVE a lot of answers or rather some leads to grasp on till more clues emerge
AngelicEmpyress
its all Stens fault x3
DracoPlato
#BlameSten
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i'm just gonna blame view
that seems like a safe bet
RebelVampire
AH! i trusted jason's brother some until this scene
https://tapas.io/episode/551271
DracoPlato
i feel like sten is responsible for view tho
RebelVampire
and then i went trust no one
AngelicEmpyress
i think view is only trying to create a reality for himself unmanipulated...even if he goes aobut it the wrong way lol
Phenylketonurics
It is such a power play, the manipulation of information -- something of a hornet's nest gone mad at times.
THAT IS A GOOD POINT YO!! AH! I am so excited that you brought that up, dang!
SirDelta God King of Mecha
Brb
DracoPlato
ah yeah i remember that with jason's brother
Tyle
Phenylketonurics
Tyle's weak point is his very short temper.
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i thought that was the wierdist nickname
DracoPlato
haha i had to double check cause i thought his name was Ty
AngelicEmpyress
im kinda reminded of Johnny 5 when i think of View
DracoPlato
omg, me too
SirDelta God King of Mecha
it just seems so odd to call him tyle
Phenylketonurics
(Tyle for Tyler, heh, nicknames can be a fun mask to wear, yeah?)
DracoPlato
Ooooooooooooooooooh
that makes more sense
I am super bad with names btw
Phenylketonurics
haha, no me too!!!
RebelVampire
his name is actually tyler!? my life is a lie
DracoPlato
actually i love that pheny mentions the names so often in artist's comments
that's super helpful
Phenylketonurics
thank you draco, aaa!! I always make sure to list people, I am awful at names everywhere. It's humiliating.
RebelVampire
yeah that is. i say this from doing reviews and always double checking name spellings. sometimes its a pain when i have to search a billion pages to find a single name drop :"D
DracoPlato
yeah I started trying to do it more cause of pheny and mappy doing it i think
Phenylketonurics
Right?! You go back like 40 pages and still get the name wrong because it's vague who's referencing who??
Need a hover-over option, put your mouse over the character in question and the name pops up, hah!
DracoPlato
omg that'd be awesome
character pages are great too
RebelVampire
yeah i really like when ppl have websites with cast pages
it makes life 1000 times easier
Phenylketonurics
khyatix HAS AN INCREDIBLE character profile page set oh my gooossh
AngelicEmpyress
hehe yus
DracoPlato
oooooh no no no it's terrible
the one for zenchav
the one for OoO is decent
Phenylketonurics
IT IS NOT! The one for zenchav is my favourite waaaitt!!
DracoPlato
omg it's so bad, i need to redo it
RebelVampire
QUESTION 4. The story, in so far, has hinted that Jason was subjected to some sort of “experiment” in the past. What do you think the goal of the experiment was, and what was it doing to Jason exactly? Or, alternatively, do you think it’s all in everyone’s heads?
DracoPlato
Do you mean this one http://khyatix.com/zenchav/profiles.shtml Or this one? http://khyatix.com/zenchavooo/profiles.shtml
cosmographia
whether or not the experiment is real, it's clear that Jason was manipulated and kinda emotionally abused by the older gang so ū-ū
DracoPlato
The idea of perspective was brought up in relation to reality, so a lot of it may depend on who's perspective the story is really being seen from
SirDelta God King of Mecha
Back
DracoPlato
wb~!
Phenylketonurics
The first one! I LOVE THAT ONE, it's clean and has so much cool information included (everything necessary for referencing while making fanart, heh)! And whoa cosmo, you picked right up on the age play there -- seniority rules, yo.
DracoPlato
Ooooh, maybe i'll do more like that then, i thought they were kind of lame. But I couldn't do time specific ones for zenchav cause of the nature of the story
AngelicEmpyress
i actually have no idea
i sometimes think it really didn't have a goal...but it was just some fun experiment to see how far it could go
DracoPlato
okay so I think the experiment was tyle and sten dicking around creating a game and sten got power hungry and wanted to take it further
SirDelta God King of Mecha
sadly i don't remember those parts too well
DracoPlato
but initially maybe it was just as a to see if it can be done kind of thing
RebelVampire
my running theory is that it was specifically a psychological experiment on personality manipulation. in otherwords, the goal was to see if they could use a game to give someone an entirely different identity. thus view was born.
Phenylketonurics
Tying recounts of past events into present based on who's where (esp in relation to another character/their relationship status) has made the progress for the experimental game's purpose slow-going. but I love that there's so much potential/guessing-room for it.
AngelicEmpyress
oh wow i like that Rebel
DracoPlato
i do too, hahah
Phenylketonurics
Rebel, h'oh man, that is something HUGE to chew on and it's killing me! I love it!!
AngelicEmpyress
i hadn't made the connection with the game until tonight...had forgotten about that part
guess i focused more on the metal
DracoPlato
altho
dim was experimented on too it seems like
and it wasn't personality effecting so much
AngelicEmpyress
i think Dim was more the bracer...
like ok you two want to do this crazy thing ill make sure it doesn't get out of hand
SirDelta God King of Mecha
having two people experiment on someone is a bad idea
AngelicEmpyress
so he agreed to be experimented on
Superjustinbros
Very
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i mean two different experiments on one guy
RebelVampire
im unclear whether dim was experimented on or if they forged dim's name on the consent document so sten and them wouldnt get busted
in the sense that it shows dim as the experiment head instead of sten
Phenylketonurics
The ethical side of this experiment is clear, though, yeah? X]
DracoPlato
that it's unethical?
AngelicEmpyress
btw Rebel, I love these questions! i thought they'd be some generic each week questions but i love that these are tailored ot the story
Phenylketonurics
HAHA! IT IS CLEAR!
AngelicEmpyress
lol Draco
RebelVampire
oh good draco replied what i was thinking XD
and ty~! that was my intention is to have questions more tailored to the story. minus the first question which will probably repeat each week for sake of it being the first question and it letting ppl get their feet wet so to speak
Phenylketonurics
No for real, Rebel, these are such brilliant questions, humbled to the very core, yo. It is making me wanna answer with my all, hah!
AngelicEmpyress
hehe
that means phenny will be at other CTPs?
Phenylketonurics
YOU KNOW IT!!
SirDelta God King of Mecha
kinda makes so i can't wait for my comics day
cosmographia
yea man, the questions are A+ :D
AngelicEmpyress
YAY
Phenylketonurics
Delta, yes~!! I will so be there for your comic's day!
SirDelta God King of Mecha
Woo
AngelicEmpyress
ill be there too delta
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i think its in two weeks
any way we're getting stracked(edited)
AngelicEmpyress
i think the only scene that confused me...not as in what is going on in general...but more i never followed what happened was the game night scene
the description was like "day knows what happened and we do too" and im like i have no idea what happened
Phenylketonurics
THE GAME NIGHT SCENE, AA. That was one I had a lot of people tell me they were too confused over.
RebelVampire
if i understood the game scene correctly
AngelicEmpyress
i think i read it like 4 times before i gave up lol
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i don't even remember this scene
RebelVampire
jason hallucinated sten and they were actually talking to a different person?
SirDelta God King of Mecha
oh that one
AngelicEmpyress
but i thought view set it up but then he didn’t
SirDelta God King of Mecha
it seemed like view did it
Phenylketonurics
Yes! So... Jason was supposedly invited to a floor mate's game night party.
SirDelta God King of Mecha
i remember now
DracoPlato
oh yeah that did confuse me too
SirDelta God King of Mecha
its fine
i just thought of that as view fucking with jasons life
AngelicEmpyress
but then they got there and no one knew what was going on?
i thought the game night was at jason's
yeah total confusion
RebelVampire
it was at a differnt jason's
DracoPlato
Sten already playing a game with Jason
SirDelta God King of Mecha
other Jason
RebelVampire
someone who lived in the building whose name also be jason
or something like that
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
RebelVampire
the point being is i think jason was never invited but view lied to day and said they were invited
which is why when they got there the person said "i didnt invite you."
DracoPlato
jason, you have no friends
because there's no such thing as Jason
SirDelta God King of Mecha
name drop bomb
BOOOOOOM
RebelVampire
jason is a figment of everyone's imagination including ours
AngelicEmpyress
lol draco
RebelVampire
i took that thought too far in my head. now have headache
SirDelta God King of Mecha
I MIUST FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH THEN(edited)
DracoPlato
too many reflections in the mirror
Phenylketonurics
Yes! Earlier in the week, when Day and Jason were going to his dorm, do you remember the elevator scene? And them rushing to his room as someone called to talk to him? Right here>> https://tapas.io/episode/301105
AngelicEmpyress
Yeah
SirDelta God King of Mecha
yeah, other Jason
Phenylketonurics
There's a few little things that have yet to happen that will loop as a recurring moment from this scene. BUT YO, yeah, somatic experience ended up giving Jason a pretty harsh memory of Sten that he tried to resolve in present time.
It could be noted that Jason being aware of JASON and his memory super-imposing Sten over that name as a bit trippy.
ALL WHILE HAPPENING ON GAME NIGHT.
video games, ouch, hah^^
SirDelta God King of Mecha
jesus these people need to see a therapist
DracoPlato
lolol
that is intense though
i should reread that part
AngelicEmpyress
we shouldn't play video games XDDD
SirDelta God King of Mecha
but there so much fun
DracoPlato
it's okay, I don't
SirDelta God King of Mecha
you play the sims
cosmographia
hahahah
Phenylketonurics
THE SIMS IS CRUCIAL.
SirDelta God King of Mecha
...i know it(edited)
DracoPlato
I know right
sims is the best
SirDelta God King of Mecha
Ehh
DracoPlato
gotta make all my characters
damon gotta impregnate everyone
SirDelta God King of Mecha
were getting side tracked again
Phenylketonurics
I still put Sims music on while I'm working on background art.
AngelicEmpyress
sometimes it just makes you want to give jason a hug x3
DracoPlato
omg XD listening to sims music
RebelVampire
the plot twist of theres no such thing as jason is that its just a game of sims that jason is playing
AngelicEmpyress
lol
yus
DracoPlato
Ommmmmg
SirDelta God King of Mecha
view is just jason actully intervining in the game
Phenylketonurics
Jason has had not a very good experience with adults in his life -- crossing the threshold into adulthood might be wearing on his nerves, though! Sims adulthood is so much easier, ahha^^
DracoPlato
does jason have peter pan syndrome
SirDelta God King of Mecha
the fuck is that
DracoPlato
where you don't want to grow up and want to stay a kid forever
SirDelta God King of Mecha
Oh
AngelicEmpyress
Lol
SirDelta God King of Mecha
shoulda guessed
DracoPlato
i mean it's either that or the other thing
RebelVampire
to be fair, with the amount of emotional trauma jason suffered, he perhaps missed some key development points while growing up
DracoPlato
yeah i do feel like jason is off developmentally
AngelicEmpyress
True
SirDelta God King of Mecha
yeah...
that boy is fucked
Phenylketonurics
HOHO, Jason 's perspective on age not yet addressed, I am looking forward to this. His anxiety stems from just what you've been noticing though, yes. Fear of the unknown!
DracoPlato
you and me both Jason
SirDelta God King of Mecha
so...human nature
cosmographia
ay Jason...
Phenylketonurics
Haha, HUBRIS!
cosmographia
but yea that's a good point, he may have missed key developments due to trauma
DracoPlato
but is jason even human
cause he could just be AI
SirDelta God King of Mecha
and view could be a glitch then
SirDelta God King of Mecha
a terrible glitch
AngelicEmpyress
so many possibilities
Phenylketonurics
The problem though is that memory being shifty and undependable makes advancing beyond that fear even worse (view glitch is a freaking killer concept dang)
AngelicEmpyress
lol would be funny is view as he is trying to make the reality accidentally glitched himself
cosmographia
-nod- and confidence issues can effectively make someone far easier to manipulate
so you can just tell Jason "remember when you __" and with enough convincing, he'd most likely believe it?
SirDelta God King of Mecha
buts a little manipulator too
everyone is
cosmographia
oh yea def
but Jason could be a reactive manipulator as in, it's just what seems to work for everyone else toward him so he's projecting what works
SirDelta God King of Mecha
its just layers and layers of manipulation and counter manipulation
cosmographia
yea
RebelVampire
