I need you to know that i read your latest chapter this morning and been trying to write a thoughtful and detailed comment about how excited i was for you to tackle the "Inner Demons*" quest, and how breathtaking your chapter was, but unfortunately it broke my brain?? And all i can do is reread it another 10 times and maybe cry a lil bit 😭 thank you for all your amazing work, It's truly such a treat anytime you post art or fic!! And everytime you post art it makes me wanna pick up my pencil again, so thanks :')
😭😭🫂💖 thank you so much!!! I'm glad you liked it!! I hope the rest of the fic doesn't disappoint either :'') and YAAAAY!!!! Do it!! pick up your pencil!!! True happiness is drawing whatever comes to mind for the sake of making it. My favourite is art I can put squiggles on. Like in this piece:
the squiggles are there on his body both bc its cool and also because i didnt want to draw that part of his outfit. it was sos sososo fun too.
and you can see further evidence of squiggles back here as well. the following has no squiggles but it does have fabric textures!!! which is fun too!! highly recommend!!!
anyway ya i just wanted to share. when something like fabric or hands etc etc is considered difficult and i loathe doing it, i practice it until i enjoy doing it, and then its all fun again!!! same with writing. i work on what im bad at because the progress is the most noticeable and thats whats really exciting about creating stuff :)

it’s crazy how i stopped playing wizard 101 for like 12 ish years and suddenly the urge to play it comes back full force and now i can’t go a few hours without thinking about it
anyways i’ve been playing wizard 101 lately
#tag#slow progress bc i’m not paying for anything#very close to unlocking a new area but i’m wondering if i should hold off#or… do i buy another world#so one zone/area is 750 crowns#which i’m about 100 away from#however to progress with the main story is 3500#which i think might be more worth it bc you do unlock more areas with that#idk…#i have quests i have to do but i also want to progress#i might hold off honestly….#it’s much easier to build up small amounts and spend it all willy nilly#but 3500 is a lot#it’s like a month worth of work considering i’m not spending money#yeahhh i’m holding off#i think it might be worth it to save up more#oasis here i come!!!!!!!#wizard 101

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh
#Given some of it IS lines of code and stuff but like.. minus all that it's still probably at least 85 - 95k words hhhhhh#AND I have to do this for another 3 characters. Then a few partial quests for 3 others. THEN the other random misc stuff in the game#(like there are public areas in the city like a park and a forest that you can go and do a few things at. and chat with a few random#townsfolk that aren't actually full characters or anything. And there's a community board where you can#browse some of the random job advertisments or silly things that happen to be posted around#and also pick up a few odd jobs of your own to help earn coin to buy gifts for the npcs. etc. etc.)#Originally I was thinking like 'ah I'll make a short little game just to try it out! :3 It'll take maybe a few months!''#haha........................hee hee........................................hoho#Also evil that it would have been done already if I didn't totally drop itand stop working on it for like 5 years randomly#i could have made 5 years of steady slow progress gradually. instead of like 'one initial idea dump + about a month of art and writing'#...... 5 year break..... 'sudden mad dash to try to get probably 400.000 words written in a year or less' lol#I just really want to be done and have something out there already so it can lead to doing other things in my world..!!!!!! T o T#Like this can be an introduction and then maybe from that I can make other games. or short story anthologies. or other such things#But there needs to be some initially not very complex easy to interact with starting point first I guess... if that makes sense#That's part of why I stopped posting worldbuilding lore dump stuff as often because its' like.. massive walls of novella length#text are much more inacessible to engage with than like.. ooh a game! and there's characters! so its more approachable! and theres#visuals! oo! and the text is broken up in small bits line by line with other things in betwen! oo! etc. etc. lol#Not that THIS is even very accessible. I think dialogue heavy interactive fiction/visual novel type stuff is pretty niche and considered#boring or tedious compared to something with more ''gamplay'' like where you can actually move around in a world#and shoot things or whatever lol. But its an inbetween point. something SLIGHTLY#more accesible for now. Since i just dont have the budget or means or ability to make some skyrim type thing obviously LOL#Though maybe if theres any interest in the visual novel that could lead to making other things too. or at least I hope. I have a VERY cool#idea for a more ''gamey'' type of game that is a super fun concept and etc. but I would need to hire at least 2 people to make it.. ough..#I could do all the writing and probably half of the art. But I think I'd inevitably need a 3d artist and someone who can Code For Real hbjh#the system for ren'py (the thing I'm making a visual novel in) is not that complicated if you stick to just simple dialogue and stuff.#Making a whole moderately sized 3d game with minigames in it and a bunch of quest features and etc. would be out of my simplistic scope#''just learn it yourself!!' ... i barely manage to eat and sleep reliably every day lol... i do not function well enough to spend months#learning that many new skills. I already have a lot of of things I'm good at (not in a braggy way but just factually like.. i already have#a wide variety of different things under my belt).. at some point I have to just be happy with what i CAN already do and focus on that#and admit I need to get outside help sometimes ghjbh... NO more new skills/hobbies!!! ... ANYWAY

if your ocs were bosses in a video game, what do you think their boss fight would be like?
#red rambles#im thinking about this with mine and curious what other people have thought up#sidebar: i have been thinking about things like 'mechamics' and 'the kinds of attacks they'd use' and 'phases' and 'gimmicks'#i havent detailed them all here because i figured it wouldn't be what other people wanted to read#unfortunately it seems also everyone else thinks this. i want to hear about your mechanics....#so i guess ill go add mine in#kit and kat would be a pair of optional bosses who you fight together - kit a dex build who moves into a strength+dex combo in her second#phase; she doesn't get a second health bar#but it gets dramatically harder to hit her and she stops getting stunned nearly as easily in the second phase#and her hits get much harder#KAT (her gimmick partner) also has a second phase#if you haven't killed Kit before you activate Kat's second phase#(Kat gets a second health bar) she teleports herself and Kit out of the boss fight arena and (as they're optional)#this technically means you can progress but you get no winnings#and the next time you come back they're there again#im imagining them like ds1r havel where he's just like in a shortcut. they're camping a door#anyway you have to fully kill Kit to#get to kill Kat#and her second phase will activate when Kit dies in that case#and she'll go from infrequent but hard-hitting long-distance attacks to frequent long-distance attacks with less intensity behind them#and a set of melee attacks that do a lot of damage but require her to grapple you so if you don't get grabbed you're alright#meanwhile rex (the other one i discussed on discord) is a mainline boss who keeps dying and then just showing up again but he dies like#his ass is DEAD he's not walking off he DIES. okay?#you have to kill him at least twice for the mainline quest and there's even more optional places you can kill him#the first three or four sequential fights (only one of which is mainline) he's human the whole time#the second mainline fight he changes forms and his second phase is in dragon form#and he doesn't get a second health bar or anything but he does get aoe fire attacks#and gets to visibly take damage at increasing levels before you kill him#he also has a mechanic where on his last dot of health he can absorb like 4x the normal amount of damage#so when he should be one hit away from death he is in fact four or five hits away from death

I acknowledge that the side quests are likely important or at least good to do to raise faction strength, but a bitch is struggling. i am but a small, easily prone to motion sickness, directionally challenged person. what do you mean the quest marker that i feel like i am directly on top of is on another level and there are no ladders? Bioware please. please don't do this to me. again. i will just stick to the main quest and the "go fight the demon or the champion in [location] quests" and get my ass handed to me if i can't figure these out and then i'll cry if i get a bad ending. because that is apparently something that is possible in this game and thus a new fear
#quilleth plays dragon age#da4#i cannot figure out this warden treasure one in rivain for the life of me#come on i'm playing a mourn watcher the least they could've done is let me talk to the ghost#and there's another one where i have the new quest here marker and i can't even get to the marker#not being able to trigger the quest requirements despite being on top of the marker was a big issue i had with inquisition ><#i don't want to not have strong factions and have my buddies die horrible deaths and also get a bad ending T_T#but also i am getting frustrated soo it's either give up and push the main quests/ those champion demon things#or not progress and thus stop enjoying the game much :/#but i can't figure out if there's a way to clear a quest from the journal without doing it once you pick it up

i know veilgaurd is absolutely incredible for gender reasons, and that it doesnt just let me have top scars but actually lets me acknowledge im trans in conversation like with taash and then when flirting with davrin (still dont know if im gonna romance him or lucanis yes, but asaan did cockblock me?????) but i do wish i could have gotten healing spells....although thinking about it now, because i wish i could have also given my rook my chronic pain/cfs, it makes sense i wouldnt be able to take healing spells, this is my new canon....(like either i get healing spells bevause i know pain and want to limit it for myself and others OR disability is disabling and im incapable of using healing spells since just like real life nothing eases this) anyway..
I like to headcanon that my rook DOES have chronic fatigue or minor pain because im an elf, but im also a mourn watcher, and it feels weird and wrong and unnatural to me for an elf to be living in the nevarra necropolis. i really love that being a mourn watcher has made me weird in conversation and just absolutely ready to let emmerich know how i want to be treated after i die, but nevarra is so dark and dusty, i have to wonder if as an elf being so close to spirits and so far from nature would effect me? so yeah, rook is screaming at all times and loves his home in the necropolis, myrna and vorgoth, the dead and the spirits, but leaving after the war of the banners helped him feel whole once he saw the forests for the first time, connected to his elven lineage (lmfao sorry bro), then he met varric who helped him get his top surgery. but it was the spirits and their lack of genders that helped him realize he also needed to do away with gender tho. i just really love my rook and this is the first time ive played a da game and not felt like i needed to run through it a few times to get everything out of it because i had to choose between male or female. also hes freaking adorable as hell.
#im slightly anmoyed at the fights#dai was much better and had better subclasses i think my party feels basically useless in these fights and i cant really control them like#the previous game#but a lot of it i can forgive if i just remember that this is set in tevinter and not ferelden#id love to see more of orlais tho#but i do miss ferelden#also i kinda like that my inquisitor is still trying to help#that boy has TRAUMA AND A MISSING LIMB HE ALSO HAS CHRONIC PAIN AND FATIGUE!!! BUT HE STILL TRYIN#i just love dragon age even if im 100% gonna have darkspawn ptsd by the time this is done#ive fought more dragons im this one game than all the others combined#fucking hate them#also the formless one....worries me........kinda hot tho#i also love taash and hardings lil love story and i loce lucanis ust being kind to bellara and neve#i can feel his guilt that i went to treviso instead of dock town#and the fucking gloom howler is so cool but its stressing me.out so bad#i need to save the griffons#im caught up on side quests tho#ive finished all of them except for the blight in the crossroads and i think the qunari grey warden in rivain#so i dont have a choice but to progress the story and its stressing me OUT. im not even halfway through but i dont want it to be over!!!!#i like to think vorgoth babysat tiny rook and had no idea what it was doing with him..just dangling the baby by the ankle stressed out af#i also love that manfred and the wisps are adorable to me and asaan is my child too#im a softie with a smart mouth and i kinda love that none of my companions know yet how stressed rook really is#i like to think im also not very physical as a mage im just determined but im not very smart either just strategic#like im adept with the dead in a more hands on way than a theoretical way like emmerich is?#i also love that i got to explain my magic as a part of me the same way my gender is to harding and taash that was dope to me#im so smitten with lucanis tho but davrin is kinda my type im so torn#ill go feral when these games finally give me a sexy male qunari or dwarf to romance tho#i was so disappointed by bull after we got to see the arishok tbh but taash is better even if theyre a bit small for a qunari#anyway i love this game and the lore of the gods is killing me slowly all of my elves are stadning around like 😬 yike

Managed to (finally) recruit a Golem so I could level that entire rocky outcrop by the mini harbour. Now I’m working on a cute merchant town/pier.
Wish we could get some mini DLC or a patch so residents could live within that area on the map 8C
I’m going to build SO many empty houses/shops 🙃
#dqb2#dragon quest#builders 2#dragon quest builders 2#I have a cute port town on my first save file but I wanted to do something different without bulldozing my progress#also my castle is coming along nicely now :3

there's one thing to be said about AC Valhalla and that is that it's just so. unnecessarily. ridiculously. huge.
#every time i think that i'm chipping away at it#the game just goes 'oh by the way here's ANOTHER THING--'#like???#i appreciate it!#i'm having fun!#but i'm also extremely low on time and want to get somewhere in this game#what do you mean you added another tab filled with activities to the menu#what do you mean entirely new area with entirely new questline INSIDE another quest#just. please. calm down and let me build my houses in peace#and then make some progress that isn't negated immediately by the game just telling me that WAIT THERE'S MORE--#it pains me to say that i will never even get close to partaking in everything this game has to offer#because it's simply too overwhelming#and it's also kinda weird because it's not like i haven't played enormous games and basically 100% them before#but they just? felt less all over the place when it came to activities and stuff?#more focused. this just seems to be doing everything at once#rambling away

You know I thought I was strong enough to let the tieflings die, but I don’t think I am actually
time to reload a save that’s like 5 hours back
#baldurs gate 3 spoilers#it’s vague but I mine as well tag it- also I’ll be rambling in the tags so spoilers here for sure#I saved the ones in moonrise but I don’t think I’m okay about all of the others dying djdjdjdj#also I don’t know if the kids are okay??? like mol I know got grabbed and was taken to somewhere (which like. bad. she’s gonna take raphaels#fucking deal which is terrible because that’s my kid I’ve decided djdjjdjdjdjsjsjs I want the best for mol#but I don’t know if the other tiefling children are okay or not???????? and I’m not okay about them not being okay dndjdjdj#(also like the siblings need to be reunited and I need the bard lady to be okay#really I think I might just reload to save everyone properly this time dhdjdjdj)#which suuuuuuuuucks cause I’ve done a lot#like I freed the prisoners- I got to moonrise- did a bunch of looting/side questing#got through basically all of shar’s temple#killed the one demon guy for astarion (which like. that fight is rough djdjdjdj)#had myself a moon lantern- passed all of the checks at the bar with the one spooky bloated guy#where you need like a bajillion 20s in a row djsjsjdjdjd#(it’s not that bad but I did have to reload like#twice I think to get that right)#I already murdered Balthazar or whatever his name is- I just reloaded to before that cause I forgot to do other quests#hhhhhhhh it’s a lot of progress#but I keep thinking about it so I’m probably just going to grit my teeth and go back#if nothing else at least I’ll get to see that super super cute astarion romance scene again#which is like. my favorite thing in the world right now

see the problem with all of the puzzles in bg3 is like. sometimes the player (me) is stupid. and at least in a real dnd game you might get the dm to take pity on you
#the number of ‘’walkthroughs’’ that i’ve found that don’t actually. help#they tell you the map coordinates or whatever. what about if i cannot physically find what you’re talking about AT THOSE COORDINATES#or cannot figure out how to get to those coordinates (like when i spent three days trying to find karlach)#i’m in hell. actually still having a very hard time getting invested and like. not rly enjoying this game lmao#I AM PLAYING ON EXPLORER MODE AND SOMEONE GOES DOWN IN ALMOST EVERY COMBAT#also just. open world syndrome a little bit#too many quests that apparently i can’t actually move forward in yet. and too much open space#making me feel like. i need to go explore and grind when i just want to finish the quests i already have good lord#idrc about exploring every corner of the map. at this point???#tried going into the mountain pass and it was like ‘hey you’re really low level. reconsider <3’ and im like#literally WHAT is there to do for me here#(it wanted me to go to the underdark. which i figured would progress the story so i was trying to find lae’zel’s crèche while we’re here??)#also on a non gameplay note#inSANE that all of the questlog items for daughter of darkness list her and i having interactions that We Did Not#got to act 2 and she’s like ‘hey i worship shar btw. this is supposed to be a reveal’ but like. the quest log told me that immediately??#was i not supposed to read that?? she never told me that she wanted to join the justiciars. i never gave her the idol.#but it said all of those happened???#maybe i’m biased bc my first save was trying to play as her but it REALLY feels like they’re pushing her to be the main character#like. kinda sucks how she’s the only companion you can check in with and say ‘how do you think we’re doing’#and these fucking controls#why are the items hit boxes so weird. my cursor is a centimeter away and yet it still highlights something#the label isn’t actually next to the thing it’s describing so holding the alt key does nothing to show me where it is#god forbid you try to point at something through an open door#the fucking. camera angles. impossible to see what i’m doing or where i’m going because the trees and walls and shit keep getting in the way#straight up not having a good time#but this was a lot of money and i’ve heard it picks up#when tho#also the fact that i rly like wyll and he’s got like. nothing. id heard he has less content than other origins but#didn’t realize it was to a noticeable extent#maybe it’ll pick up and give him more to talk about once i save his dad. please god

oh, i just realized that i can interact with bouldy.... on my 125th run
#jasdféalk is this why i haven't progressed the sisyphus quest im so sorry#mse's playing hades#i have a couple of achievements to tick off#i also don't know if i want to do the 3rd skelly challenge lmao that's a lot#and also also i might need to look up what counts as 'very rare' fish and how to get them for the fishing prophecy#oh and i haven't 'advanced' because i was too busy spending my darknesses elsewhere#so maybe i should also try that and what that does

FFXIV my beloved :)
#AutisticSpongebob.png I LOVE SPENDING MY ENTIRE WEEKEND GRINDING LEVELS IN AN MMORPG#I LOVE TO SEE NUMBER GO UP#I LOVE TO GRADUALLY MAKE PROGRESS TOWARDS COMPLETIONISM#I LOVE TO HUNT FOR ACHIEVEMENTS#I LOVE THIS GAME.#this is not sarcastic in any way I genuinely am having some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing a game#the sense of progress and improvement is soooo rewarding#I’m obsessed#Can’t wait to start Heavensward#I’ve been sandbagging the MSQ for like. Three whole weeks now.#And just doing every side quest under the sun#and leveling alt jobs#I should definitely progress#but also I don’t want to be running MSQ for the first time as a tank anymore#so I’ve been slowly growing Dragoon up to a level where I can switch to using that#no better time to do that than now- between expansions.#Every single 2.x MSQ is level 50#So I just have to get my Dragoon there and we’re good to swap in#I’m very close#Level 47.#I COULD just throw Samurai in and start running those quests as that#but I’m ass at Samurai??#I don’t really like it. I haven’t given it a fair shake yet.#There’s just way too much shit given to you immediately that you’re supposed to learn and know and work into the rotation#instead of learning it move by move as you grow like any of the base classes#it’s really sad to me that Expansion Jobs start at higher levels like that. :/#I get that it’s to avoid having you have to level in the same very barebones pre-50 areas for even MORE new jobs#but still it’s. Inelegant.#Kinda just throws you in.

on day 5 artemy and daniil go to the bar at noon and talk at each other like this
#LMAO not in any way thats like theyre having a disagreement and cant get through to each other#just that the whole convo was just both of them going on their own train of thought ramblings and not reacting to the other in any way#and it made me laugh#also im assuming that me doing the infected organ testing in time now is the reason i got this dialogue and if thats so#is it truly so that if you get this dialogue at the bar daniil doesnt offer you his bed when you give him the blood later?????#that moment is so relevant to my life so this is honestly devastating even if the dialogue is otherwise the exact same#(but '... are you a mind reader?' 'sometimes. a bit.' still has me shaking and crying)#ALSO one thing that is so delightful abt actually progressing the panacea quest in a timely manner is that you get at least this#one extra dialogue with sticky. i didnt know it existed so i always thought oh its such a shame that stickys bond with artemy doesnt get#nearly as much development as murkys and yeah obv its still not AS elaborate/dramatic but just this one extra dialogue#rlly gives you the impression that he is becoming something like artemys anchor#and i just know the 'youre never home' line will hit even harder this time!#hhhh next is the scariest part of attempting this no death playthrough aka second night of protecting rubin#im pretty sure you dont have to do these night quests to save him but i want to lmao what am i trying to prove#the 1st one went kind of okay. now i have 4 bandages for this 2nd one and last time i did it first try with no bandages so 🤞 pls go well

Totk is so overwhelming and big I only just through conversation today realised I’ve missed a whole power (but I have in fact somehow still unlocked and completed the rito, gerudo, goron and zora quests)
#the game is big and overwhelming and tbh I was so focused on unlocking the gerudo and finding treasure I just did not. pay attention.#I spent ages trying to find the golden horse but I haven’t even looked at Impa’s quest. that’s how backwards I’ve played this game.#that is where my priorities lie for this game apparently#BUT I’ve been having great fun regardless. however. I am now suffering bc I do in fact have to go on a shrine completion binge to progress#and figure out where along the line I have skipped important quests so that I can start them lmao#still I’m 🥲 the person I spoke to was rendered speechless when they asked me how far I’d gotten with the game bc I said I unlocked all the#temples and they were like ‘…but you just started the game how’ and I said ‘well I haven’t done anything else yet lmao’#and they were like ‘WHAT’#but also how fun is totk that you can play it however you want
