analyzing balors potential backstory bc i dont think ive many other people try to piece it together yet

ok so starting off, one of balor's loved gifts is the family crest pendant. if we look at the wiki (or even just in-game really), we can find a tidbit of info on the lore behind this artifact:

"leaving home for the first time"

why this artifact specifically? (I mean, other than the fact that balor likes shiny things, and that this artifact is uncommon and thus can fetch a price if sold.)

but here's the thing.

yes this voiceline is noted to be for gemstones, but i've also gotten it when gifting the family crest pendant to him as well, so he doesn't just like the artifact because it can go for a decent amount of money, as he implies he has a personal collection too (dragon hoard, much?)

so what we can glean from this little bit of info is that balor really likes the family crest pendant, which was given to those who left the home for the very first time.

why does he have a COLLECTION of things like this??? does he not have one of his own? or is he just really interested in the concept of family? as seen in this voiceline:

next off, we know balor talks a fuck ton ab the capital, but in one voiceline i had to hunt down, he says something that sticks out to me:

"only holds bad memories" ??

we never do really get a straight answer on what bad memories he hints at here, so thats up to our imagination for now until (or if ever) the devs give us more to work with.

do these bad memories have to do with the scar we can see on his chest?

third thing: hes definitely got some shady dealings from the past. take this summary of his 2 heart event as an example:

or this voiceline about maple:

so far he's really fitting into the merchant/thief archetype you'd see in dnd tbh

not to mention balor's 6 heart event where wheedle comes into the picture offering to buy/take over balor's business.

aaaand judging from these lovely comments of a thread i found on reddit, it seems im not the only one growing suspicious:

so there's one thing im excited to learn more ab in the future

The reason I, like, never post my DaveKat art aside from that one post is bc I am TERRIFIED of mischaracterizing them. I hope this helps.

#saying i hope this helps as if anyone asked #i draw them a lot actually cause theyre fun to doodle #besides like vrisrezi and janeroxy theyre my most doodled ship #but fanon davekat is so weird and “ehhhh” its like. i feel like i need to hold myself to a super high standard to differentiate myself #and if my art has DIALOGUE???? oh god #general rule of thumb for dialogue that i have for them is that it should be funny #like actually funny #most of their interactions in canon are really funny #also i need to find this balance with how in touch they are with their emotions like dave is NOT that outwardly self-aware initially #and it depends on the time setting of the art too #but also like. hes not dumb. on some level he knows whats going on and what happened to him and who he is he just ignores it #and karkat #karkats actually easy to characterize for me the one thing i need to remember is that he says and does super embarrassing shit sometimes #and one must learn to live with this #oh and obviously im not gonna write them in a weird like. straight way? is the best i can describe it?#if you were around in old homestuck fandom or have seen old fics you know exaaaactly what i mean #why do they make dave actually CREEPY to karkat he wouldnt do that. ever.#i dont even know where that comes from tbh #like homophobia obviously but howwww #daves never really acted like that with karkat #and hes never acted like that with any of the characters hes popularly shipped with either (john. jade. terezi) like thats not him #highschool aus are the worst perpetrators of this btw sorry #why are you guys making him a jock⁉️⁉️⁉️

slowly I'm recovering the beauty of discovery

(creature by half•alive)

(textless + timelapse below cut)

#yellowart #subnautica #i feel like the timelapse is kinda long but also this did take a long time to make #anyways. let me yap about the meanings of all the panels <3 #'i am creation' -> the ocean being the source of life and where shit evolved from also a good way to sort of 'set the scene' for subnautica #'both haunted' -> GHOST leviathan; in the BONE fields #'and holy' -> this one was a bit trickier. debated about using the emperor but i knew i wanted to use her elsewhere #also debated hoverfish because its cute and well liked so i thought that would be funny for 'and holy'#also something something jesus walking on water also makes it fitting. in the end though i decided on a peeper with the enzyme trail #and i *tried* to make it loop over its head like a halo but idk how well that imagery came through. still mentioned it in the alt text tho.#'made in glory' -> was REALLY torn about this one. on the one hand i wanted to have like a picture of the code because something something #divine machine and it being made out of code making it inherently holy or something; but i wasnt sure if that would be too #'immersion breaking' since most of the stuff in this is like in game stuff i wasnt sure if acknowledging that it was a game would be #too much. my other idea was to draw a couple of creature eggs like a stalker egg and a spadefish egg or something; but in the end i just #went with the one that i personally thought was cooler so if you think it does feel out of place uhhhh sorry i guess lmao.#also yes that is code from the game. idk shit about programming i just think code shit is cool so i poked though a modding tutorial til i #found what it is they use to look at that shit and started poking around. its pretty cool tbh. anyways the specific part i chose for the #drawing was something under the peepers; i think its the bit that tells the enzyme peepers to do the enzyme stuff like the trail obviously #but also some other stuff. not 100% sure though like i said idk shit about this sort of thing but everything in there seems pretty well #labeled its kinda impressive. and very helpful for navigating even if you dont know shit lol.#anyways. 'even the depths of the night cannot blind me' -> blood kelp trench is i think one of the darkest biomes in the game #possibly THE darkest so i thought it would be fitting. probably my least favorite panel though i dont think i did a very good job #representing the area or representing the bloodvines :/#'when you guide me' -> sea emperor but more specifically her messages to the player telling you to 'come here'#'creature only' -> not sure how well i can articulate this but basically the idea of humans beig animals with animal needs to eat and drink #and the idea of being a part of the ecosystem. modern life tends to make us forget that sort of thing but id imagine for ryley being on the #planet would violently remind him of this with things trying to eat him while he has to try to eat things as well. being part of the food #web. 'creature only' because he is only a creature not non-essential systems maintenance chief; but a creature living in an environment and #trying to survive. or something like that. does that make any fucking sense to anyone besides me? whatever.#anyways yapping over 👍

#one piece #sanji #black leg sanji #everysanji #summit war saga #ch553 #ft. luffy #ft. zoro #ft. nami #ft. usopp #ft. chopper #ft. robin #ft. franky #ft. brook #thinking abt that one blog that is kinda going around rn does it hate/love women or whatever #and even tho as of queueing this i havent seen op on there i dont think you could do a hard and fast yes or no for op #since i think there are a number of women that are loved by the series and oda does actually give women diverse body types #and not all of the good women are stereotypically attractive (lola and charlotte come to mind whenever i think about this)#and a lot of the women do have established goals and wants and needs that are validated through the narrative #even pudding is a well written character tbh <- needs to reread wci dont ask me to go into details quite yet #but then you look at some of the other character designs. and how some characters do just fall flat #or arent well written. given that its such a long series though that is so expected and it holds up a lot better than say...#naruto. or bleach. in this regard but i wish we did get more fights with nami and robin sometimes u know.#i do really enjoy the ones we get and i'm excited to get back to wano for robin's fight with black maria #bc i did see some screencaps from that and ik fights arent the only thing to showcase a character's worth #but this is a shounen series so to some extent fights are a staple of the genre.#idk where im going with this its 10pm for me and i'm very tired t-t #i'm so lighthoused out. and they're redoing the roof on my house this week which is so augh

HELLO!!! i have a question, but since i'm here, i wanted to wish you well and say i really love your writing! i haven't gotten a chance to sit down and articulate everything in as much detail as i'd like, but your ideas are always so damn cool and you've got such a nice flow to your writing that really makes readers feel present in the scene... agh. i can't wait to have the time to dissect it. but yes, onto the question: i know these were more like gag comics, but i was wondering if you would mind if someone wrote a fic that included that specific premise of "an artifact that feeds on secrets" for something more serious? or, if you'd write it yourself? (which would also be super cool! i'd love that, if you found a way to work it into something) ... just wanted to check! i don't really know the general courtesy with this stuff lol

i’m glad to hear you enjoy my writing!

feel free to go wherever with the premise, it was mostly so i could have a “truth telling artifact” to allow the gag to happen. i think i’ve already told all the jokes i wanted to with it, so i’m really interested to see where you could go more serious with the idea!

#i dont know if i can even articulate my own writing process tbh #i have internalized a sort of 90/10 rule in how i want to write comedies #where it’s either 90% comedy 10% something else or the other way round #im unsure if i’ve executed that well yet but im building towards it #svsss is my funny comedy playground to test this stuff with #i love making people laugh and thats why im making art right now #ideas wise. most of these come as a reader of fic and asking yourself ‘what havent i seen executed yet?’ and trying your hand at it #ive got a bunch of ideas ive written little bits for im hoping to see if i can flesh out fully yet #stuff like thinking about a rarepair or a specific tag that doesnt have much in it #all of reincarnation guide stems from the thinking about the sj!sy tag as a whole #ask #not art

not me openly admitting that shade lowkey takes after me. this was not intentional, I swear. uwu; she kinda just... ended up with an extra dose of who I am as a person, whereas most of my original characters receive much less.

I realized this when considering that shade is most likely homo leaning. and I was like, haha she's just like me ! an enby ace lesbian... and then the similarities just kept getting drawn. idk maybe I'm just overly tired.

also like. not gonna apologize ? she really isn't a self-insert. but its also like... creators are allowed to put themselves into what they make ! and I'm proud of shade, I really am. so I won't be made ashamed for traits we might share.

#《 ° puffin.exe 》 im a puffin ! i dont do much #° mobile post !#° to be deleted !#tbh i dont know hoe people get off accusing people of making self inserts in the rpc like #how do you know ?? unless i explicitly state or draw comparisons ??#and why would i do that if my intent is to fool people ? like.#i understand that interacting with inserts can be uncomfortable. i do !#but unless you really know the person ? you arent in a place to say their characters are inserts #and tbh i feel like most of my discomfort comes from the prospect of being deceived #im okay with writing with inserts but im gonna draw boundaries #especially if youre writing them with the intent to live through them / fantasize.#while I think its valid its not something i am personally comfortable with. i dont consent to that as an rp partner.#but im also envisioning the worst possibility in which its someone getting off to how i interact with their oc #point being. to my mind. self inserts arent bad. they also arent easy to judge.#and even if i dont consent to interacting with an insert for the purpose of being wank material or emotional stimulus...#people could still use my content for wank or emotional stimulus by putting themselves in the shoes of whoever im writing with so #am i really one to judge? no. because again. i dont know.#and i honestly think anyone who can come out and say their oc is an insert or takes after them is #more trustworthy than someone who doesnt disclose it. idk just. there is no need for deception.#and if you do try to deceive me im gonna assume you have ill intent #whereas honesty is something that should be valued. especially in cases where the truth is so stigmatized.

I mean, I like Daigo and Y3 but it's undeniable that a lot of the reason of MineDai being small is cuz Mine, Daigo and Y3 are generally unliked? Not like hated but like just not liked down upon the bigger side of the fandom. Add to that that the yaoi girlies, like us, are just like a fraction of the fandom... well, not exactly big shit to have.

Personally... I'm kinda glad Mine is overlooked cuz... dear fucking god the radioactive waste he could create if he was popular. Mind you, I'm not exactly a Mine fan but I know he would be... not the best for larger audiences.

minedai really is just for us yaoi girlies you're so right .....

#snap chats #OH BUT YEAH i was gonna make that a point in my last post but i forgot to 💀💀#i don't think mine himself is super disliked- i've seen most people upset that he's not back in the main series #yk. OUTSIDE of my circles ofc. people do have issue with y3 tho thats undeniable LMAO it cause people cant grab </3 #but on that note daigo is another essential point. like as much as I love daigo and i can write essays about his character #in a franchise where there are protags who wrestle bears / punch tigers / what the fuck ever is going n with maj|ma #daigo is very. Normal. very hilarious but still it's no surprise people overlook him #it's a strength for his character In My Eyes that he's generally hidden from the spotlight #he's a chairman yk. he's only suppsed to come out when things get dire etc etc #but because of that he more so just fades into the background compared to everyone else #SPEAAKING of the hyptheticals of more mine fans tho. christ 💀#i dont even know tbh cause i cant say . its so weird #cause there are weirdos who idolize mine for the wrong reasons (as if theres a right?? way??) so if that was widespread i think id throw up #BUT IM RAMLING point is i love being a part of the like. under-thirty-people minedai club its so fun

they rejected my application :(

#i mean i knew that they were going to. i literally do not have the degree they want #but sometimes it feels as if people in this field don't take me seriously because im young lol #like they assume that my experience just Does Not Apply because im not in my 40s #its fine. i never told anyone irl i applied for the job so i don't have to worry about that (ty past me) (i almost said it like 10 times)#when the time comes for me to REALLY start job hunting ill start taking rejections more personally but this was a good experience i think #them giving me a rejection at all and not just ghosting me was actually a huge relief tbh #am i supposed to respond to the rejection email? i guess i will?#dont burn your bridges etc #it feels a little weird saying ty for the opportunity when they didn't even interview me #but this whole corporate bullshit is just empty tradition at this point so whatever #anyway the GOOD news is that my really big name reference told my current boss (as a joke but still) that he wanted to steal me from her #he works for the state which would be an INCREDIBLE opportunity if he was in any way serious #so when the time comes ill be casually mentioning to him that im job hunting and we'll see where it goes #literally every conference ive been to people know his name and ask where he is so im hoping he will have enough pull to let a fresh grad in #two different people (both also rather big names in the field) have told me that he thinks really highly of me #and while working with him was a little bit like pulling teeth i don't really have the option to be choosy rn lol #anyways. im disappointed but not surprised #it was a remote position too :( oh well
