#i really like the design & i might play around w it more later

chonny would make a charming third mic in litwtc

[waywardstation]

i have nothing to contribute to your pmd au i js wanna say i love it to pieces!

AHH THANK YOU!! ;w;

I appreciate that!! It’s a fun AU to play around with and I enjoy how loose it can be, so I appreciate hearing others like it as well!!

I’ve had these for a while but I might as well share them — all I really need left to do is to add some text info to them. But I’d like to share some more of the AU, so here is Laventon, a Dubwool, and Rei, a Pikachu!

Laventon uses his wool to store things, like research and field notes. And Rei, like Akari, wants to form a proper exploration team but sadly doesn’t have anyone to form a team with, so he’s just Laventon’s assistant at the Galaxy Guild for now. That changes later though, and eventually joins Akari and Ingo’s team after several informal tag-alongs.

And I’ve got Volo as well, a Type: Null! Despite his appearance, he is very friendly and outgoing with all his customers. I’ve considered altering the mask design a little since drawing this, but I haven’t had time yet to actually do that.

I’ve also got his endgame form, a Silvally — the white parts change colors to match whatever type he has switched to when utilizing his RKS System ability, and the plates.

Once again, I’m glad you enjoy the AU! I hope to put more out, including posting these formally once I add accompanying text info. ^^

G3 Hissfits Review Part 1

Guess what came in today??? My Hissfits three pack!

The box is large, 22”x12” and was 75 bucks…which is a lot (25 for each doll) and Entertainment Earth wanted another 20 for shipping (so I might have preordered a cute little 3.75” Clone Trooper Rex figure to get free shipping).

These dolls had their stock photos dropped a bit over a year ago and I guess were just sitting in a warehouse while Mattel figured out what to do with them????? I dunno why they took so long to come out, but I’m glad they were not all canceled and disposed of.

It has some little Skullettes detailed around the outside of the box.

Here is the corner illustration done by Darko.

The back of the box. That’s a huge illustration and looks really cool. It has some of their accessories hidden about and Amped Up Frankie’s accessories in the far left-hand book shelf. Perhaps they’re all playing for the Monster Ball?

Here is the UPC for anyone who needs it. These are supposed to be available on misc. sellers/shops: like Entertainment Earth and Big Lots and NOT Amazon, Walmart, Target or even Mattel Creations. Which seems like an odd choice (I wonder what their reasoning was behind it?).

Here is a close up of their blurb on the back of the box. I do find it funny that Toralei was known to be REALLY bad at singing in G1 and G3 just RAN the other way with that.

Here are the ghoul’s with the plastic removed. There was A TON of rubber bands holding them all in. They look good in the package, but there is so much plastic waste.

more under the cut

Close-up of G3 Meowlody’s face while still strapped down. Meowlody has white hair (I remember who is who by: turning her name’s first letter “m” upside down and it looks like a “w” for “white hair”).

Mine has her eyes slightly printed up too high, some white paint dropped across her right eye, and her left cheek stripes have some paint missing (you can’t tell from his photo).

She has the biggest grin out of the werecat twins and Toralei. Her heterochromia is opposite of her twin and she has purple leopard print eyeshadow. Her hair feels like saran.

My Toralei looks pretty good, but has a small lip smudge on her upper lip. I love her eyeshadow!!! Even her bright pink lips have grown on me. Her leopard rosettes are a mix of purple (Meowlody) and pink (Purrsephone).

She has almost-neon orange hair (with black, baby pink, and purple streaks). I’m pretty sure it is all saran.

And my FAVORITE, Purrsephone (turn her name’s first letter “p” upside down and it looks like a “b” for “black hair” and that’s how I remember this is Purrsephone). I like her sculpted eyelids, her full upper lips, her hair color blend *mwah!* Mine does have a spot of red paint on the bottom of her cat nose. She has pink leopard spots on the opposite side of her face as her sister.

I’m also certain she has saran hair.

They come with a ton of little accessories “to help them get ready for the show.” Even merch to sell after the show too!!

After spending about 30 minutes freeing everything from their prison and running a metal comb through their hair (they will need to be washed with water, Dawn dish soap, and some conditioner…maybe (carefully) straight iron their hair later).

I forgot to take a full body photo of Toralei before I started removing pieces. Whoops!

Here is her crown piece. It wraps around both ears and should still hold its place fairly well even after I removed the plastic stays and rubberband (it was really wrapped around it) holding it in.

Here she is without her golden crown. I might like it better off.

Her eye make-up is her two cousins’ mixed together. Oh, by the way G3 Purrsephone and Meowlody are G3 Toralei’s cousins, not just her beasties.

The leopard print reminds me of SDCC DC Super Hero Girl’s Cheetah.

Her tail tambourine (I love how clever they were in its paw-like design) also stays on her tail pretty well.

Here are her plastic dress pieces. They have some nice details to them (lots of studs, chains, and the Hissfits cat head logo) and as always, could look even more elevated with some paint. Be warned that the gold chest piece instantly wants to keep detaching itself from the skirt and shoulder pieces after you remove the rubber bands.

I LOVE her gloves (look at the little printed seams and how they make it look like there are seperate holes for her fingers). My Core G3 Toralei will be stealing them. Mine even come off by sliding over the hands (you do not necessarily need to remove the whole hand to get them off).

Here are her MASSIVE boots. They are slit all the way down the back and have some colored in details. I’m not sure if I like purple AND pink AND red being Toralei’s new colors, but these shoes look great.

Here are the bottoms (chains on the ball of the feet and a cat scratching post making the heel).

A better look at her saran hair blend. It’s really growing on me. I was just going to clean her up, steal her stock and resell the base doll. But I am heavily rethinking it.

Here she is in her outfit sans all the plastic bits. It is all attached. The main shirt/shorts have a sparkly foil look to them and her skirt has a lovely gold to magenta foil print.

And the back. Now let’s jump ahead to look at some differences between the werecat’s bodies.

Toralei has the exact same body mold as G3 Clawdeen, and the werecat twins have the same body as G3 Cleo (sans the bandages).

They didn’t give the werecat twins sharp toe claws like Toralei and Clawdeen. :( Booo!

Their ears look a bit different too (Toralei has notches in the bottom of her ears and Purrsephone/Meowlody don’t).

And for funsies. Here are all the G3 werecats’ body types for comparison (I’m still in the middle of micro-braiding my Catty’s hair, so ignore her bad hair day).

In part 2 I’ll delve more into the werecat twins.

I just realized Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are different games, and since I just realized they're free, which of them would you suggest I try out? (And how bad/tempting is the gacha system?)

MY FRIEND!!!! :DDDD i'm so glad you realized these are different games, and my years of ACADEMY TRAINING HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS

okay i'm going to do a general breakdown of the high/low points of each, with some mentions of their gacha system also before jumping into my personal onions about them

genshin impact basic premise in a non-spoilery way: your twin is kidnapped/whisked away by a mysterious deity, and you are left exploring the world of tevyat while running around different places and unraveling mysteries behind certain archons (gods) of different locations. there's also hints about a previous ruined kingdom khaenri'ah, which was known to follow no archons. there's also a wintry country called snezhnaya which runs a mysterious organization called the Fatui (like spies/assassins/agents), with top agents known as Harbingers (like Tartaglia (Childe)). characters: there are a lot of fun characters to meet and interact with, with a decent mix of personalities and foibles. there are some general issues where the female characters don't necessarily have their full range of powers/agency shown as taking center stage, and also have been hearing some (rightful) general criticism around the way the natlan character designs have been handled. storylines: i myself was drawn into playing it from what i heard about the liyue storyline (involving zhongli) and iT DID have almost everything i believed it should be in a cdrama general intrigues secret identities and some betrayal kind of way. i played through the mondstadt story quest, liyue storyline (my favorite), inazuma story quests (which was okay), and sumeru story quests (which were quite good). i never made my way into finishing fontaine.

the storytelling can feel a little uneven at parts, but when it is REALLY good with specific character stories, it is absolutely amazing. one time i played through a specific character quest and wrote a whole fic for that particular character like a month later ease of play: it's sort of like. real time battling in an open world kind of play. you need to physically switch between using characters in a team of four. the maps of story quests areas can be really large, and there were a Lot of collectibles that you needed to get if you leveled up everything. some world puzzles can be especially frustrating. i know when i was playing on a laptop, occasional internet issues would make battling hard sometimes. i'm not especially good at video games, but i still managed okay. other downsides--grinding for the right materials to level up your characters can Take a significant chunk of time time needed: a lot ; w ; but at my peak of playing it, i was averaging anywhere between 40 minutes to 1.5 hours on average days, which was enough to go through a lot of it gacha system: i was always a f2p player, and i think the pity system and the way they let you get materials for the gacha pulls is pretty reasonable! i've had some friends spend more to get copies of characters of course, but i never really felt the need to do that. i think at last count, i had like 8 or 9 five-star characters through just using f2p, and if there's a character you like, you can spend some time saving up the materials for pulls. i got at least four of the characters i wanted to pull for through just saving up from general daily quests and stuff like that

other fun things you might like to see if you were considering genshin: guides for building up characters, a zhongli character trailer in CN, a childe CN trailer, a Fantastic childe fanvid, my (spoilery) genshin tag.

final onions on genshin: you might like it, but the time cost required to get through the game may be a Lot. parts of the materials gathering and world exploration parts can get tedious, with controls for battling sometimes veering into clunky. i do Love certain character stories very much once playing through them. i also usually play it in original CN dub with english subs since i prefer the voices that way. different types of fun characters to like, with plenty of shipping material for certain couples (some with more canonical details to work with than others) i may recommend seeing if u want to watch a playthrough of the mondstadt archon quests, and the liyue archon quests (plus zhongli character quests), before deciding on playing

i think im breaking the limits of an ask reply right now, so please stay tuned as i jump into honkai star rail in a bit when i reblog this :''))

[eccentric-nucleus]

actually if i'm gonna make a games rec post.

here are some games i have enjoyed recent-ish.

kenshi. an open-world squad-based rpg with base-building elements. get stronger by getting beaten up. lose a fight and get knocked out, have your weapons and food taken by the bandits that mugged you and left you bleeding to death. get rescued by some slavers that capture you and sell you into slavery. free yourself from slavery and limp away until you roll in hours later with a whole squad of overpowered fighters. then head a little bit too far south and get murdered by skin bandits. they take your skin. this is a completely self-directed game; there's no "main plot", although arguably "figure out the history of the world" is kind of the main 'story' mystery. there's also a bunch of unique recruitable characters with custom-written interactions. i usually recruit exclusively from freeing slaves but you can do w/e.

wildmender. a survival gardening game. this one came out recently and the devs are still releasing bugfixes; it's unclear if they'll make large content patches in the future. apparently multiplayer can still be pretty glitchy, and there's a water flow bug that i've been finding very frustrating. the way biomes work is kind of unsatisfying. kind of slim content-wise, but still, i really enjoyed what's there. out of all of the climate change terraforming anxiety games i've seen, this has been the one i've most enjoyed.

hellpoint. a scifi soulslike made by a team of like 12 people. previously i had thought things like "it would be neat if dark souls was less linear". hellpoint is a great example of why that might be a nightmare. the areas are connected in such a complex way, with one-way routes and branching unlock keys and secret paths and hidden doors behind hidden doors that it gets profoundly disorienting. a hint: almost every single hidden door in the game (there are a lot) is the middle panel of the same exact three-paneled-wall geometry. once you notice what it is you will see it everywhere. also, the enemy designs are hot.

crystal project. remember playing fan translations of final fantasy v? remember wandering around in old mmos? crystal project is kind of a... turn-based rpg mmo-influenced platformer. with a job system. you can sequence break the game from the tutorial level and also at basically every other point in the game too, although until you know what to look for it might seem like there's a linear critical path. but there's a lot out there. hint: play on easy mode. the combat gets tough later on and the game absolutely expects you to be finding and exploiting some class combinations.

astlibra: revision. a sidescrolling rpg. it must have been released episodically originally or some of the chapter pacing makes no sense. also it was originally released with a mess of art sourced from all sorts of places; 'revision' is a re-release with a more unified art style. it gets extremely anime all the time. there's a whole obligatory section where you have to ask all the women in a town about what kind of panties they're wearing. it's rough. i enjoyed how chaotic the systems are and how much Stuff there is to pick up and upgrade and unlock. the plot goes some unexpected places though it doesn't quite stick the landing, i still enjoyed what it did. also karon should be the love interest instead.

silicon zeroes. a cpu-building puzzle game. this straddles the line between the tech/code games that are literally just "learn a new language and code in it" and ones that are more structure-themed like, idk, spacechem. connect modules to assemble solutions to problems. it takes too long to get to chapter 3, which is where they start asking you to make entire cpus.

ashen. another souls-like. i just really like the environments in this one. the initial area looks gorgeous and the way it changes through the game is really neat to see happen. the seat of the matriarch is wonderfully awful to traverse and i wish there had been two or three more dungeons like it in the game. you can't level up; you gain stats mostly by progressing sidequests and the name quest. i eventually ran out of things to spend money on AND inventory space to store items. the late-game tuning is a little rough but until then it's great. a hint: there are three weapon types and within that type nearly all the weapons are identical. you get thrown so many weapons that don't matter; don't worry about collecting all of them. see above re: running out of space and things to use money for.

i guess it would be cheating to recommend minecraft regrowth or morrowind but i have also been playing those.

[ashipiko]

random ahh q but how did u develop ur artstyle? :D

HIYA!!!! oh yeeeesh this is gonna be such a long answer 😭😭 it’ll be under the cut…… but um. warning for old Ashi art HAHAHA it’ll basically just be me guiding you through my gallery from all these years <3 I HOPE IT CAN HELP A LITTLE!!!

old Ashi Art JUMPSCARE

BUT BASICALLY. YEAH! this is me starting digital art in like? 2020 and getting into a3! <3 as you can see. this is my kind of sad attempt at replicating the style ??? you can tell from the way I colored my eyes, hair, and copied the way the hair is drawn!! it’s not OVERLY obvious but if you look you can see that I REAAALLY referenced it. which is kind of a big thing for creating an artstyle

and queue in my art around a year later!! 🤔 kinda more used to drawing the a3! characters (which mind you were the ONLY characters I drew for like. a whole year) and so naturally I adopted the artstyle more into my own art. learnt more about airbrushes would reference the original art a LOT. redrawing really helped me 🙏 once again. lots of referencing and looking at character references. and while I didn’t always redraw it exactly, looking at the character designs themselves made me pick up quirks of the original artstyle to better display the characterization and charm of the characters!!

then 2022 rolls around and I start getting more into proseka. start finding little things about this artstyle that I liked— whether that be finding that out through redrawing the art or trying to replicate the style. started picking up things like the smaller face shapes (as compared to twst and a3! which I was focused on previously) the way they drew the hands, the bodies, etc etc!! along w softer brushes and rendering 🫶

at around the same time I return back to a3! and make attempts at replicating the artstyle (left) or making edits to the predicting art to try and make it blend in (right). as you can tell I start playing around more w hair highlights and the rendering and all that stuff!!! 🤔 sort of like picking up new skills that I missed out on the first time. starting noticing more of the little details

and SO then I returned yet again and begin redrawing a3! cards!!! but you can tell that there’s more of a concrete style w the squisher faces and more experience the rendering ��🙏

and I did a LOT of redrawing. 😭😭 a3!’s artstyle is soooo dear to me because it has so much charm despite not being insanely rendered or having too much detail. and I LOVE that. so to try and add it to my own art I redraw and redraw and MIMIC in attempts to gain that exact same energy.

🤔 and though it’s not twst art…… this is when I started replacing the twst style and picking up on it’s quirks, then adopting what I thought was fun about it. most notable the varied opacity rendering. and you might notice that my lineart is more see though!! I MUST SAY!!! THAT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF A LITTLE EXPERIMENT I WANTED TO DO and I enjoyed it SO much that I dropped solid lineart sketching IMMEDIATELY!!!!! I think developing an artstyle is really dependent on you being willing to step away from your “art style” and look at others. maybe try some new things. pick up smth else and try to mimic it, and see what ingredients are used to make that artstyle succeed in the way that it does. between these three images you see such a change because behind the scenes I’m trying all of these different things, and seeing if I like doing them!!

🤔 sorta like….. oh I like this ingredient. so I’m gonna take them and add it to my own food because I like it. if that makes sense?

AND SO YADDAH YADDAH. you follow my blog you know my art and where it is now

A SNEAK PEEK FOR ASHACE ART SINCE YOU READ THROUGH ALL OF THIS….. and like. as you can see my art really is just a mutant combination of all of these things that I like from the artstyles I enjoy. slowly it came together w no rush and I’m sitting here now satisfied with a signature artstyle that everyone can recognize.

!! I REALLY DONT THINK YOU NEED TO WORRY TOO HARD ABOUT HAVING AN ART STYLE especially if you’re a beginning or learning artist still. and don’t think that art styles just come out of nowhere!!! art is a combination of stealing parts of things that you like and putting them together. as all things are 🫶 but yeah!! the Ashi gallery HAHAHA

Lingzi's Odaibako/Twitter Answers Collection Volume 2

Continuing the compilation of Lingzi's Odaibako answers. Click here for Part 1.

You can still send questions/comments/requests through Odaibako but please be respectful and mindful! As the author stated they will not respond to any questions or suggestions about future content! Also do not spam, Lingzi answers in rare bursts so they might not get to answer your comment any time soon.

A few clarifications. I will skip some doodle requests/drawn answers and will compile them later in a post with all of Lingzi's twitter drawings. Everything with [] marks an edit so the English sounds more natural.

16. Hello. I have a question. There is a scene where Nini imagines (delusions) having a child with Lily. Can demons and angels actually have children? Is there a mix of devils and angels? I was curious because angels themselves don't seem to reproduce.

Yes, that's just Neil's fantasy. Angels don't have the ability to reproduce~

Source

17. Hello Teacher Lingzi I'm Japanese and I'm learning Chinese. I would like to translate your manga All Saints Street into Japanese. But I understand copyright. Can I translate your comics and quote your images? (Also cite sources, of course.) Or is it difficult for an individual to do this?

Ah, sorry, I haven’t looked at the question box for a long time 😂 I don’t know if it’s too late to answer now 🙏🙏😭 If it is only for the purpose of learning and communication, it is no problem to translate comics that have been released for free! 👌👌

Very important answer for me lol.

Source

18. Do you have the names of the demon representative and the vampire representative? (Other representatives too) I like it very much😭

That's a new character created by the animation team, and I don't know him either... (laughs)

Source

19. Hello! I am Japanese. I learned about Halloween Street through anime and fell in love with it! I particularly like Ira. I want to know what kind of woman Ira likes🙇‍♂️💕︎💕︎ I like your comics❣️

Does it mean love in love...? I think he might not be interested in women... nor other genders... He is mainly not interested in relationships, but if I have to choose one trait, I think he might like [loves and is good at playing games] 】Female w

Source

20. Seven-year-old Anna looks similar to a seven-year-old human, so Damao must be in his twenties? How long is a werewolf's lifespan?

The lifespan of a werewolf is almost the same as that of a human, and Damao should be around 25↑🤔

Source

21. Hello Teacher! In the anime, Neil's age is stated to be 16 years old, but I read that in the original story, the devil is 80 years old and becomes an adult. Are the age settings different between the anime and the original?

Regarding this... I checked with the screenwriter of the animation before. They forgot the setting of the comic, so they wrote it according to the age of human beings 😂😂 So just think that the settings of animation and manga are different!

Source

22. Hello, teacher! I don’t know if there is a detailed setting for this, but I am a little curious about whether the ice cream that the devil eats (the name is really apt) is a real soul (?) Can the devil in the All Saints Street world eat human souls?

It’s a real soul 😂 But what’s frozen into ice cream should just be the soul of the fruit (everything is alive👌) Yes, they should like evil spirits and the like.

Source

23. I really like Neil's design. I love Neil very much and I have all his belongings around me. Neil has one side of his hair braided. Why does he braid it? I like it because it's very pretty. Do you think this is fashionable? (I'm Japanese so the translation may be different)

The setting is because Neil's mother's family has the habit of wearing braids for generations, so he and Nick both have braids. (But the real reason is that I like to draw braids and think they are cute)

Source

24. Hello, Teacher Lingzi. Does FENZ have any guidelines for doujin activities? (I would like to know if there are any rules like HMCH, such as distributing doujinshi but not producing goods.)

As far as I know, it has never been posted🤔...So I can't give a formal answer to this question. It's just for reference...As long as you don't take the official pictures privately ( Official comics + animation) should be fine if you print pirated copies and sell them, and do fan activities...

Source

Two similar questions are answered at once.

25. Hello! I recently learned about this through an anime translated into Japanese. All the characters are really cute and I really love them! Will a Japanese translation of the original manga be released…? I really want to read the original… When will the Japanese version of the Manseonggae original comic be released?

Because there are really many people asking about the Japanese single volume, I will give a unified reply here: Thank you for your interest in comics, but… I really don’t know! 😂😂😂 I basically won’t be involved in anything other than [conceiving + drawing] comics, so I really don’t know…but I haven’t heard any relevant news yet, so it should be…not available yet Plan it!

(It's been a year since and there are still no news about an official Jpn manga publication)

Source

26. Hello, excuse me for asking! Previously, you answered in the question box that angels do not have the ability to reproduce, but how are the genders of angels determined? Sorry for the Japanese. I would appreciate it if you could answer. My favorite work🥰

Being infertile does not mean that you have no reproductive organs🫢(probably) I think you can imagine the body of an angel as that of an infertile human 🤔

Source

27. Hello Teacher! Does Abu have a sense of pain? If there is something that everyone has that Abu doesn't, or something that Abu has that everyone doesn't? Please let me know!

I still feel pain, but it’s a special place... Maybe it’s because I’m less sensitive to cold and warm. Even if I only wear T-shirts all year round, it’s OK, but I still wear them with the four seasons in order to better integrate with everyone. To change clothes.

This is being answered through Abu's perspective or the translator is confused af. Source

28. Hello teacher~ I just discovered that there is a teacher’s account on Twitter a while ago, so I looked at all the pictures on Twitter. The series on Ira is really warm and cute, but at the end I saw Ira lying on Teacher Lin’s shoulder. It made me think, is it possible for him to lie on top of others like this (stealing) and moving (lazy)? After all, hiring someone to hold a parasol in summer is equivalent to getting a free taxi without having to prepare sunscreen. Although I don’t know how to deal with the clothing issue.

Haha, it’s because of the clothes that he usually doesn’t do that. Although it’s really convenient... If you can change clothes at home, the probability of turning into a bat is higher. Forget it outside, the clothes will fall off. On the ground~

Source

29. Can devils go into church? 🤔 for example if someone they know gets married at a church do they just have to stand outside? wwww

Oh I never thought about that before, but I think you are right[.] They may not be able to get into the church

Source

30. Hello teacher, I’m interrupting you again (although I am anonymous). I want to ask this time, will an angel still be an angel without a halo? To be more specific, it probably disappears. Also, can angels share halos?

Logically speaking, the angel's halo will not disappear, but it may be damaged and destroyed. If it is broken, just go back to heaven and apply for a new one😌👌It's not a big problem. Yes, Lily also secretly used Teacher Lin’s aperture.

[wildstar25]

for the ask meme: do every number divisible by 7

question list

7 - Favourite Dye

toss up between Dalamud Red and Gunmetal Black. I love how the red looks on Arsay, its the perfect shade for her, but I also enjoy how a pot of gun metal black can make most items look like like a shiny black leather which is equally fun on her.

14 - Favourite Raid

In terms of story I think so far the eden raids have been the most engaging to me... aaa but I also really really love the omega raids story as well.... Pandaemonium was a fun story too with a payoff to something i never thought we'd get.... The version of the crystal tower raid series that lives in my head is also very important to me... mechanically i think the arcadion raids have been the most fun for a first tier. Im always pretty happy to get Thaleia in roulette because of the vocal performances. Generally getting orbonne or the last two neir raids is always fun too.

21 - Starting class

Arcanist!

I was honestly surprised I picked it to start myself, generally I really love the fantasy of playing an archer over a caster, but I really wanted to start in the port town of Limsa over the other two city options. I love seaside towns =w=

In the Arsay canon she does initially come Limsa with the directive to go straight to the arcanist guild. Her directions from Emrara was "it's the first guild off the docks you should see". Unfortunately, the ship Arsay was on laid anchor on the other port of Limsa. So when Arsay asked the shady looking Roegaden standing outside of a building entrance if that was the guild room, he let her in thinking she was a new recruit to the dutiful sisters. One conversation later and suddenly Arsay was inducted into the rogues guild. It actually took her a few days of running around the la noscea area before she finally had the time to show up in the arcanist guild and get assigned to a mentor.

28 - Which class do you want to see added next? HMM this is a tough one because viper kinda was the class I thought I really did want in the game. Aesthetically at least. But I kinda had a bad time trying to figure it out for myself when dawntrail came out and it really shot my confidence while playing it :') I want to give it another shot but I also can't help but feel bad playing it in group content. I also still feel like I need to practice ninja more before anything else...

but that doesn't answer the question whoops. I still think green mage should show up eventually in the game. I don't think I would play it, but it would be interesting to have a casting class that works primarily with buffs and debuffs/DoT skills.

I'm happy beastmaster is getting added, shame it'll be a limited job but I can understand it might get a little OP depending on how they design it.

The 1% Of Chances | TWICE Jeongyeon x Male Reader Fanfic: CHAPTER 5

After a couple of months of hiatus due to my phone's unfortunate malfunction, we're back on the track! Finally got my whole plot outline for this book recovered, so might as well work ahead already for a new update!

The next day, your departure with the girls and the managing staff quite took a hold when Dahyun suddenly shouted just as when everyone are about to walk out of the dorm.

"W-wait!"

You who is standing near to Dahyun was the first one to face yourself at her who is scrambling through her bag.

"Is there a problem, Dahyunnie?", you asked her with concern.

"M-my customized airbuds. I can't find it here.", Dahyun said as she still kept on digging down through her belongings inside.

"Wait for us guys!", you shouted for the rest who are on their way to the elevator.

"Why, what happened?", one of our senior and higher ups in our team who is handling Tzuyu named Tendo asked you curiously. He was the one also to press the door open.

"Dahyun lost her earbuds.", he said as you looked back on Dahyun who is now flicking her head back and forth trying to guess where could it have been. The girls heard what you said.

"Weren't you using it yesterday, unnie?", Tzuyu said; approaching the confused Dahyun. She can see what Dahyun has been doing yesterday since after all, they are dormmates.

"N-no, I was using my earphone rather."

"Are you gonna use that today, unnie? Just use your earphones instead.", one of her another dormmate and her "bro" Chaeyoung suggested.

"I will but you know that earbuds are special to me guys right? It's our customized design imprinted on there plus I made it for our Japan merch.", Dahyun explained the real downside of losing that object.

The girls nodded and "oh"-ed in guilt, knowing that they forgot to think of that part.

"Have you perhaps... remember where did you last placed those?", you asked Dahyun.

"N-no...", she shook her head.

"Guys!!! We have to go now. Time is running!", Sadness reaalarmed everyone, pointing down on her watch. "Cmon, Dahyunnie. You can find it later, okay? Today's a heavy schedule for all of you girls.", she persuaded.

They began entering the elevator by group. You looked at Dahyun's frown and felt bad for this girl. It can be replaced by buying again but the thought that it wasn't broken yet and only missing is just too waste to hear if it'll end up just being let go without even trying something for it to recover.

That positive mindset had you enlightened with another idea to help Dahyun.

At the very last second, you looked at them and shouted.

"Go ahead, I'll just take Dahyun myself there!"

"Wait, what? YN-"

"JUST GO! WE'LL TRY TO FIND IT FIRST!", you urged them to proceed as you interrupted Sadness's protest. The elevator doors closed, leaving only you and Dahyun alone.

"Oppa, you didn't have to do that.", she looks at you worriedly.

"Don't bother, Dahyunnie. I don't want you to go to work like this, so I'm helping you to find it but we'll be really quick okay?", you assured her. Dahyun stared at you for more until she gave up with a nod.

"Okay."

You smiled in relief. "Okay. Well, I just think of... where are the places you've been at the whole day yesterday?"

Dahyun shuffles and revisited all of what she did yesterday then started enumerating it. "Well yesterday it was my day-off. I just took a rest here in the house. Did laundry, took bath, read some books, skin care, practice dancing  then I played piano after-"

"Wait stop.", you gestured her by showing her your palm. "Let's try going in your private studio."

Dahyun didn't spoke and instead followed you from behind as you entered the dorm then went straight to the room.

You looked around and you didn't had to duck on some narrow spaces and search for it through some closed containers when you definitely had your eyes locked on it.

Walking forward, you stepped in front of the piano. There, you smiled at the sight of her two earbuds unmovable on top of her piano.

Dahyun saw it too and gasped, quickly taking the things in her hand.

"Oh my God, finally.", she sighed and opened her hand, showing her customized cloud designed earbuds of hers. "H-how did you know oppa?!"

You chuckled and shrugged. "It's just simple anyway. I tried to analyze what would you like be if your earbuds would be involved in those areas you listed along what what you did there."

"You don't usually play music while you're doing chores as what Jeongyeon told me, so I crossed out the laundry. If you'll gonna listen to music while taking a bath then ofcourse you will be using speakers rather so no bathroom either.", you elaborated to Dahyun as you count it with your fingers.

"Skin care, nah. Reading a book? Definitely a no. You don't like being disturbed, Chaeng told me that she was once had you annoyed when she just barged in on your bedroom without granting permission and you were literally reading a book at that time. That left me with the last option- that private studio you girls had. Using your earbuds there can be applied while you're dancing and playing a piano there so, yeah."

Dahyun just blinked her enlargened eyes unbelievably as you finished your entire narration of review through all of what she just shared to you from your key question.

You laughed at the stunned reaction of Dahyun clearly obvious at the impression you made at the idol.

"I-Wha-How... DID THEY REALLY-", Dahyun stuttered, unable to process clearly how did you managed to take all of those interesting infos about her.

"HAHAHAHAHAHHA yeah. Those were part of the mini stories they shared with me in our get along together times whenever they're not doing something and we'll just end up talking randomly about everything.", you laughed.

"I really thought I was the one who told you about that... or even you've seen me through all of that.", Dahyun touched her chest in surprise. "You sounded like a stalker for a moment there, oppa."

"Yeah I can tell.", you sniffled another laugh. "But you can ask the girls, especially Chae and Jeongie. They'll make you know."

Dahyun nodded. "Well, I don't need to do that anymore. I know you ain't like that oppa. But I hope you really don't because as our manager and our friend, I trust you already. Even the girls do too.", she said to you hopefully.

"If that so, then I really don't have intention to spy on you girls and end up breaking into your privacy. You girls forgot one more thing from me. I don't just have trust also for you girls: I bring respect."

You and Dahyun exchanged smiles at each other before you gave a pat on her shoulder. "Let's go, they must be in the middle of the road now. We have to follow them right away.", you said to her as you make your way out of the dorm again with her.

----------

Arriving in JYP Entertainment building, you and Dahyun entered the Michael Jackson dance practice room where the members are doing their respective things while waiting for one of their member who thankfully had shortened their wait as they saw her thanking you again for the drive, greeting their choreographer and placing her bag onto the couch.

As they began their schedule by doing warm-ups, you decided to stroll around the building with the managing staff; Tendo, Sadness, Pinky and the rest of the crew.

Returning back to the room after hours of allowing them to maintain focus on rehearsing their dance choreography for their upcoming lead track of their new album, Jihyo was just in time to announce the break on the girls.

Jeongyeon, who is one of the only girls who walked out together with Nayeon, Jihyo, Dahyun and Chaeyoung as she told you to join her receiving her ordered food from online by meeting the delivery guy outside of the building.

As you and her reached the lobby, Jeongyeon was still busy tracking the location of the rider on her phone when you saw the familiar idol entering the area and walking at the direction towards you and Jeongyeon with all smiles alongside with his own manager.

"Jeongyeon-ah!", he called Jeongyeon after recognizing her quickly when she looked at you and told you that the rider finally arrived based on the notification popped out on the screen.

"Oh! Young K!", she waved her hand gracefully. Your face shuddered in awkwardness and distrought, having yourself inserted again in the midst of interaction between these two that were giving you strange feelings difficult to get rid of.

"Good morning! What's your sched today? Are the girls with you right now or just you?", he asked. Seems like they about to brought theirselves into their small talk against without bothering to notice your presence around near them so you just did what you usually do in respect and shame for them: stay still and shut up.

"Good morning! A-ahh... yeah. They're with me today. We're having our break as of now from our dance practice.", Jeongyeon answered with a grin. "How about you, oppa?"

"Well, I have to meet JYP nim today.", he answered. That made you look at him for a second because it kinda suprised you atleast. "I have a work... proposed by him that I definitely agreed on.", he smiled.

"Can you tell me about it?"

"An ongoing collab song. I'm going to be composing with him.", he proudly replied.

"Woahhh! Really?! Congrats, oppa! Can't wait to hear your song with JYP oppa!", Jeongyeom clapped celebratingly. It earned a soft laughter from her bestfriend... you weren't sure if that's the correct term to call him for Jeongyeon yet.

"I have to go now, Jeongie. PD nim might cancel our project if I make him mad for being late.", he joked. "Bye!"

"Bye oppa!" The two high fived. You just had to watched them do that without any rights to disturb or prevent them from talking happily with each other as your heart sunk inches by inches beneath seeing your crush acting suspiciously again with someone very close to her.

Meanwhile, two people were keeping an eye on you from the distance as they hid on the wall of the hallway leading to the right.

As they ended their convo, you directed Jeongyeon on the glass wall of the entranceway where the reflection of the Seoul exterior can be seen, including the motor that is parked on the side where it is owned by what it seems to be a delivery rider checking his phone to keep in touch with the customer.

"Jeong, I think that's yours.", you pointed assumingly to it. She followed where you're pertaining to and agreed after. "Looks like it is."

You were right. You exited the building with Jeongyeon and approached the rider where it was confirmed that the idol's ordered food is there with him. She claimed and paid it after, repaying gratitude towards one another before you helped her carry it and enter the place again with her.

Later in the night, the girls successfully finished arranging their entire choreo from begginning through the end as it was declared by their instructor.

"Good job everyone! Come back here at 10AM tomorrow okay? We will attempt to polish and familarize the moves now. Rest well ladies!", the instructor announced to the exhausted girls sitting and lying down on the wooden floor, now satisfied and relieved that the draining practice is over.

We all clapped in respect for the girls hardwork again which they returned with an appreciation and gratitude too along with a flashy, lively smile like the humble and wholehearted people they are.

As you opened my tablet and checked out their completed schedule today before you reviewed their upcoming ones tomorrow and days following by, Jeongyeon came to your side and brought her bag there to fix it on your side.

You looked at her and she smiled back, which definitely caused an uncontrollable flush and embarassment on your behalf, too weak and instable to contain her lovely looks.

"Oppa, please join me tomorrow at the mall after we left from practice.", she requested while shutting close her bag's zipper.

"Sure. Going shopping?", you gladly accepted accompanying her as if that's not a part of your job as her personal manager.

She nodded in response.

Standing up from your seat, you brought her back for assistance as you let her be with the girls while you joined your fellow managers walking down through the ground floor to reach the exit and go to the parking lot where your car and the company's van are kept.

During the ride, you heard something from them that won your interest; discreetly listening at the words they're mumbling at the back while you paused your task at your tablet.

"Agh, I'm so hungry. I'm craving for some bulgogi right now.", it was Jeongyeon expression her eagerness to taste some delicious famous Korean dish.

"Same unnie, should we order?", Tzuyu agreed and suggested.

"We'll just cook, I guess. I want it to have a homecooked taste also.", Jeongyeon declined.

You smirked as these poor girls gave you an idea to do for them tonight.

Reaching their apartment building, after a not so long drive; you escorted them to enter at Nayeon and Momo's dorm which you assumed that they are indeed serious to be the ones cooking their meal for tonight.

It was left abandoned though when you excused yourself to your roommates Tendo, Heungson and Yeongsu that you'll be back in the dorm for longer.

In their surprise, you entered their room too; and Jeongyeon and Momo who are about to wear their own aprons left their arms raised in their air as they watch you head to the kitchen with them.

"O-oppa, what are you still doing here?", Momo asked curiously. You just smiled and voluntarily removed the lace of their apron on their grasp before you hanged it back to where it was placed, leaving Jeongyeon, Momo and the rest clueless.

"Take a rest. I'll be the one cooking for tonight.", you smiled nicely at them.

Momo and Jeongyeon got shocked. "Thank you oppa!!!", they both went to you and hugged you on your side while the girls cheered and shared their own thank yous at you.

"Oppa, could you please do-"

"Beef bulgogi, right?", you interrupted Jeongyeon. She was left speechless and only able to nod with a fluttered state as she tightlipped her stucked words instead.

"Now go and rest. You girls shouldn't be doing this, all of you are tired enough already. Save some energy for tomorrow. Let me take control of the kitchen."

The girls all responded with a "Yes!" before they went on to rest in their own ways, watching TV, scrolling down on their phone, lay down on the couch and the carpeted floor as they let you move around in the kitchen, starting to work on cooking the preferred dinner of this night mostly by Jeongyeon.

You weren't even aware that your preoccupied self preparing the ingredients prevented you to notice repeated admiring glances of Jeongyeon's sparkling eyes to you. It had made her see you like truly a perfect boyfriend/ husband material from her sight.

Minutes have passed, you ordered them to gather around the table. The owners of the dorm, Nayeon and Momo helped you prepare the plates, spoons, forks and glass to be distributed for each of everyone present.

You transferred the bulgogi from the pan to three bowls before placing them on the tray and deliver it to the table, now presented in front of the girls who were left in awe at how mouth-watering its look and smell.

"Beef bulgogi, everyone.", you clapped your hands once; confidently showed your own cooked meal to the girls.

The girls cheered happily like little kids. It warmed your heart and soul as they sounded like they were your nine precious little daughters finally given granted by their loving father to cook their favorite food.

"Thank you so much, oppa!" The girls chanted again enthusiastically at you, except for one of them who sent her own in a unique manner.

Jeongyeon, who was next to you from the right, grabbed your wrist and pulled it a little closer to her, so that she can cuddle your arm and show you her melting smile and adorable greeting at you.

"Y-you're welcome, Jeongie.", you patted her on the head, earning a giggle from her which you huffed and sighed at how your heart must be beating so damn fast right now all solely because of this woman.

The rest who are witnessing this did a teaseful coughs and other sounds to portray that there's something interesting going on here. "What was that, Yoo Beep Beep huh?", Jihyo playfully asked which was effective to mnake Jeongyeon startle. "Yah I just hugged him because I really liked that she cooked us the food I've been craving since earlier. What are you thinking again, Hyomas?", Jeongyeon lets out her typical pouty duck lips. You glared at them and shook your head before defending your position. "Stop it, I know those antics girls."

"Somebody's defensive.", Sana winked and smirked at you which caused a laughter from all of you. Yes, even you who are getting teamed up here just to get linked closer with Jeongyeon as a tandem.

"If you do, can you tell us what do we mean by that?", Nayeon also smirked as she challenged you. Oh no, you got what she's trying to do. You quickly swapped it away and switched it with a different topic to escape. "Don't mind them oppa, they just love to misintepret and make fun of us again.", Jeongyeon encourages you to disregard and move on.

"Aish, let's just pray to get started. The food's about to be cold now.", you acted annoyed as you heard them still trying to contain their laughs. Jeongyeon on the other hand, was blushing like a tomato while find it hilarious on your part that you're getting targeted by these bunch of crackheads again.

After finishing the dinner, Dahyun and Chaeyoung who loves this specific household chore ever since back from their Twice Private Life rookie days ; are the ones who volunteered to wash the dishes.

Some of them began returning back to their respective rooms. You bid goodbye and goodnights at them for a sweet and peaceful sleep before also doing the same, opening the door and putting one foot out of the doorframe...

... not until in your utter astonishment, a pair of hands from the unknown groped your shoulders from behind and pulled you with force; which avoided you to leave the room for good.

ahahaha soooo what music / bands would your ocs each listen to? Do you associate different Genres with different ones?

oh my dear at this point my ocs's music taste is more developed than their damn lore /hj ALSO YOU'RE IN LUCK THAT I HAD MADE THIS VID HERE A WHILE AGO, I THINK IT MIGHT HELP, STILL, I'LL DO A LIL LIST HERE W THE CHARACTERS IN THE VID

Seraph doesn't really mind that era of music (2012 stuff) and i doubt he'd even be ashamed of it if he did, or anything, really but i think its Klaus who would enjoy that stuff more but if you're wondering what he actually likes, its jazz influenced stuff (Lounge, bossa nova) and Kpop, he was paticularty inspired by Kpop, surprisingly lmao "Still with you by Jung-kook" or "Fullmoon by Sunmi" are some he'd enjoy a lot c: no wonder he came out so fruity

Klaus specifically loves 90s~early 2000s RnB since he grew up with it but i'd say he's open to most things! hell i'd say one of his fave songs even is "Tell it to my heart by Taylor dayne" <<<he rocks this song when cleaning the house or "I'll do it by heidi montag" definetely likes the "ARTPOP" album by gaga

Neberius is big fan of Eurobeat or Eurodance, anything he can para para dance to, probably found his love for the genre when he'd go clubs with his old friends before he died HAHAH "Run away by real Mccoy" or "No one sleeps in tokyo" are some examples, be glad there are no cars for transports in this city cause this man would not hesitate to drift around if these stuff played

Now for Locky i've mentioned this before a few times but he's a metalhead despite being secretive about it, particuraly a fan of Thrash, Heavy or just anything fast, its just something he enjoys in terms of sound despite not agreeing with the ones with questionable lyrics even if they're made for shock value only iykyk :skull: he's just not that type of person lmao but i don't think he minds when the themes get canibalistic tho, some stuff i see him vibing to is "Black magic by Slayer" or even the whole "PTSD" album by Utsu-P <<<(yes, this means he canonically listens to vocaloid too, it'd be unfair to not have that out there since his design was initially inspired by a vocaloid song <X,D if you're into vocaloid and look at his design, it'll probably be obvious wich song was it (and if it isn't i'm sorry HUDASDSND I CAN AWNSWER LATER THO)

OOF OKAY.. i have other ocs with specific tastes n stuff but then this reply would get annoyingly long and confusing since i haven't introduced them here, but yeAH i'm normal about these specific questions :3 maybe i could do another list like this

Quick DS3 Thoughts :

Just finished and didn’t link the fire and this ending theme is GORGEOUS 😩💕💖

Game is visually STUNNING like I am truly obsessed with all the environments and the enemy and boss designs are soooooo fucking cool!! 🥰🥰🥰 LOVE the DLC areas the most I think! Corvian Settlement and the Ringed City were spectacular! Oh and also the Untended Graves portion was so haunting, I loved it!! OH and the dreg heap and kiln were incredible too!! Just wanted to stand and look around omg 😍

But honestly overall the actual gameplay was really unenjoyable for me - I was playing a Dex build and it was TOUGH and got incredibly worse as the game continued. To the point where I had to summon an NPC or player for help at nearly every boss which really sucked! I played dex builds in DS1, ER and bloodborne and I really love zooming around and biting people’s ankles! But here you’re just so severely punished by mob enemies and boss combos alike that it really zapped the enjoyment out for me, like damn 😔

I played through all the DLC and the only boss I didn’t fight (attempted like 10 times but just went to find Soul of Cindy instead) was Midir because Fuck That! Gorgeous fucking boss though!! Jumping down and having that big cavern/cave and Midir spreading their wings like???? INCREDIBLE!!! 🥳💕💖 But fighting was just like… ugh woof = w =;;

Anyways I might yell about this more later and I might try a Str build since I’ve been trying to read up and a lot of other people are saying it totally made the game more doable for them because POISE (why did you CHANGE IT LIKE THIS???)

But anyways yeah! Game is done even if it wasn’t how I wanted it to really go! But back to my other playthroughs for ER and Bloodborne instead I guess!✌️💖

Coroika Pirate AU part one (?)

So, I don’t really have a plot outline in mind, I just wanted to draw some characters as pirates and give them some adventures :D But, I kind of picture some inklings/octolings seeking adventures and wanting to explore the seas. 

There is also a new phenomenon occurring in inklings/octolings in this AU, where certain ones have the ability to turn into giant krakens (not to be confused with the special) for an extended period of time when they are submerged in water. This is definitely a surprise tool that'll help us later 😎👍

Most of their weapons are the same/similar to the ones they use in the manga, just adjusted to fit the concept a bit better :] 

Pirates in this AU will do turf wars, hoping to capture the other’s ship. Unless they have some other motivations ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ But, that’s not really important tbh---- I kinda focused more on having fun designing the characters for this AU. I might make a part two if I ever draw/write more for it? We’ll definitely have to see I guess.

Uhh anyways this'll be a long post, so have fun reading!

Anyways, I drew the S4 as pirates for this AU :D So, here they are! 

(The S4’s teammates are also on board with them :D I just didn’t really have much planned for them, but they’re there!)

=======================

Skull:

For the most part, Skull’s personality is pretty much the same as it was in the original manga. He’s the captain of the S4 pirates and well-known across all seven seas as a sharpshooter & exceptional marksman.

He’s pretty much a pirate you NEVER want to mess with while you’re at sea

He's previously had connections with The X-Blood Pirates and Captain Vintage— but he doesn't like talking about it

Despite his intimidating reputation, Skull is actually a pretty laid back captain— perhaps a bit too laid back 

He can be bribed with food

He has a horrible sense of direction, he leaves that to Army. 

Captain Skull is a pretty funky name if you ask me 

He doesn’t like to steal/raid villages like most pirates do, he likes the action-- but not at the cost of innocent lives.

Mask:

Mask is in charge of ship repairs if there ever needs to be any. Although he’s not the best with tools, he does get help from Aloha

He’s also in charge of the canons aboard the ship

He still wears his gas mask because of hay fever

He likes to play cards whenever he’s bored on the ship.

He’s rather pessimistic and it takes him some time to trust others.

He's sailed with Captain Skull for a few years.

Army:

Army’s the cook aboard the ship. He’s good at making curry :D

Army comes from a noble family, which he ran away from so he could join Captain Skull

B-Sailor and W-Sailor are medics aboard the ship. (B-Sailor is also a sniper) (I didn't know where else to put this info)

Army has a series of manuals containing years and years of battle experience/journals of what it’s like at sea. It’s desired by many other pirate crews because they want the information within them

Army also has a few pet messenger pigeons which he uses to communicate with other pirates nearby.

Army sometimes helps with navigation and has to give directions to the captain.

Aloha:

Aloha & his team were bandits

He’s exceptionally good at pickpocketing and can unlock almost any lock

Aloha & his team were recruited by Army to join because of their skills.

Aloha initially refused Army’s invitation to join the crew, but later accepted it after thinking about it some more.

Aloha’s mostly there to hang out on the ship, Skull doesn’t mind having him around for the most part— Sometimes his pickpocketing skills come in handy though :D

Straw, Snorkel, and Octoglasses also help out sometimes with ship repairs if needed :]

He's not exactly the best at cooking, though he's tried when Army was injured at one point

Oh yeah, Rider is here too :D I have info on him but I haven't had the chance to draw him yet 👀

===========

I might add on some more stuff eventually but this is what I have so far! If you have any questions or want to ask me about it, pls send me a message through the ask box I'd love to talk about it more :DD

Also feel free to ask as much as you'd like! I'm so excited about it and talking about it more ahhdjsjcnskvnkdjjfj

Thanks for reading!

[marbarmars]

Wait I never asked you my iconic little headcanon question, did I? Shame on me! Uhhhh sorry if you answered it already my brain is very wonky sometimes

Do you have an M&L headcanon that you believe is so incredibly rare that no one else has it? Or maybe just a really rare headcanon in general?

Do you have a headcanon so oddly specific that sometimes you yourself have to question why it even exists?

If so tell me 👁️👁️

I love to hear about other people's headcanons. I collect them like little trading cards hehe

Feder, I can finally answer your long awaited question! <3

(I had my brothers over at my house for most of the day yesterday, we played lots of Kirby, and one of them turns 15 on...the 15th! I gave him a Builder Luigi plushie :D)

Anyways, I had to think about this for a bit, because I really don't think I have headcanons SO RARE that nobody else in the world has it, but I did manage to think of some that MIGHT be that.

I'm ofc gonna talk about Fawful headcanons first because I have,,,a lot and he's M&L soooooo I have a story w/Fawful in it (that's still a wip) where he picks up a hobby in stargazing to calm his nerves. It's a story where Cackletta and Midbus are gone and he thinks about them a lot. At first he would just disassociate and stare at the sky, but then he noticed the stars...one telescope later and now when Fawful feels sad, he can at least distract himself.

I think Fawful "chatters" with his teeth similar to cats when he's deep in thought, excited, stressed, or especially while he's asleep & dreaming. It's very noticeable (and adorable imo)

As for M&L in general...

Mario for sure wears green dotted socks underneath his overalls. You literally cannot change my mind. (and fr it's in his Minty Frazzles design) >:)

Starlow has personal self esteem issues, it's why she seems to bully Luigi (either that or she's trying to give him tough love, what doesn't kill you make your stronger, but she's just communicating it in a really bad way) after all, from what little we know about her, Starlow seems to be a mere representative of the Star Sprites, meaning that maybe she doesn't really hold much meaning to them. It could also explain why she's hanging around Mario and Luigi a lot, to make herself feel more important.

If I can think of more perhaps I'll make a seperate post and @ you, but this is all I have for now :)

[gothamslostboy]

OOH WEBS MATCHMAKE ME ITLL BE FUN:):)

I’m 5’ 10” with long brown wavy hair and bright green eyes:)

I think my style is just very feminine? Lots of dresses, skirts, and floral:)

My favorite foods are pho and smoked salmon

ANY GENDER HOMIE

I love to read, write, and paint

I’m into very indie folk, woodsy stuff like hozier, fleet foxes, Pheobe Bridgers, Father john misty… very ethereal stuff

Favorite animals are cats🥺

My favorite movie is Dead Poets Society (I like coming of age movies)

I’m really passionate, creative, and friendly:)

She/her

I don’t understand the fandom question sorry I’m dumb😭 match me w whoever

Libra, Leo, Libra:)

In a partner I would want someone who’s a good listener because I process things by talking through them, but who wouldn’t wanna fix stuff for me bc that would annoy me. Someone somewhat well read who could go to bookstores and art museums, and someone sensitive and creative

Hi big sis! Your not dumb, I just need to go back and clarify. The fandom question is for which movie/show someone wants:] I’m gonna go with the lost boys bc I’m assuming that’s what you want haha

I SHIP YOU WITH:

Marko! I know you expected Paul, but I can explain:] I hope you’ll like it

Marko loves art museums, like an unhealthy amount. He is always begging to go with someone, but the only one willing to go is max. He did go with Max one time and it was alright, but it was apparent Max was trying to pretend to know more than he did. So as soon as Marko realizes you want to go he’s scooping you on to his bike and driving. When you’re there, regardless of how much you know about art Marko is great to talk to. Dont know a ton about a specific style or era? Ask away bc he knows it! You know about it? Great! He’d love to hear your thoughts and discuss with you about what the artist was trying to convey

I believe Marko has a side of him most don’t expect. This shows up at the museum and later on appears more in your relationship. He’s actually freaky smart. Like if he was human he could have been a doctor if he tried a bit. He’s never had a huge interest in reading, but has several Italian books he reads every couple years. If you picked out a book for him and he likes it, then he’s more than happy to go to bookstores with you and let you expand his collection. You might have to remind him every couple days that he has the book, but when he finishes it get ready for 1 hour+ conversations about each one.

Marko is a Great listener, but not a great problem solver. So this works out great! He’ll have you sit next to or in front of him and vent while he plays with your hair, holds your hands, kisses your head, occasionally telling you he loves you and he’s sorry you’re upset. He has really big feelings, so when someone is upset he can relate and does his best to cheer you up, but he knows he has poor execution when handling problems and leaves that to others.

Marko likes skirts and dresses bc he can twirl you around. If you choose to turn, he buys a jacket and paints flower designs on it that match your favorite dress. Maybe he adds matching ones to a pair of shoes

He won’t admit it, but adores that you’re a bit taller than him, it makes him the perfect height for your neck

Marko listens to all kinds of music and gets really inspired by ethereal things, he’ll probably ask if you want to draw together while listening to one of your playlists

He’s obsessed with your eyes by the way, you’re gonna catch him just staring at them, 25% of the time drawing you. He always adds emphasis on the eyes though.

He’s gonna do anything to see you smile, including getting a cat. He makes sure he gets one that is bird friendly though:]

Pokémon Red - Review

Pokémon has come a long way, even when people are complaining that the most recent games are some of the worst in the series, I came back and played the original Pokémon Red, and let me tell ya, I didn't have a great time.

Not everything about the game is bad, so I at least want to start on the positive stuff.

It wasn't the first game to have monster-catching, but it was the first to have the objective to "catch them all" and letting you keep most of them, as well as being very kid-friendly, both things unlike the Megami Tensei games.

At least to my knowledge, it was also the first game where you could trade creatures and battle with other players in a turn-based game, and all that coupled with being able to play on the go pretty much guaranteed the game's success.

Another factor in its success was that it was such a watered-down RPG experience everyone was able to play it and have no problem finishing it.

And that might be it for the positive things I have to say about it...? except for the gameplay, that will come later.

I really don't want to be mean to such an old game but a lot of the stuff it does other games did it way better, and the stuff that was unique to the game didn't feel that very well done, of course this is me talking from the future, I wasn't looking at games at that period, but I couldn't help but be frustrated at the game while playing it.

So just let me vent a bit.

The game is unbearably slow, both the movement, the text boxes, and the battles, the game is plagued with unnecessary textboxes telling redundant stuff in battles, and where the objects you grab go.

The plot is basically nonexistent, your only objective is to be the Pokémon champion and beat Team Rocket, and there are no actual characters.

You interact with the gym leaders once and never again, they have cool designs but no personality outside of the 1-liners they throw when facing them, which is very little to me.

You might encounter your rival several times, but all there is to it is he telling you he's better than you which gets annoying.

The exploration is also so simplistic, every route is super short, there is not much to explore at all, caves might have like 3 or 4 screens long but they are equally as easy to get through.

There are only 3 places in the game I would call dungeons, where there are more than 3 floors to explore, and the exploration is not just going from A to B.

But again, it's still simple to explore, and once you defeat all the trainers around there is no threat to the exploration, it's a matter of time before you get past them.

Having talked about all that, it's finally time to talk about the gameplay, which is by far the best aspect of this game.

encounters are both random and predetermined, random while you are in bushes or in caves, and determined when there are trainers around, which is kinda cool.

On random encounters, you only fight a singular Pokémon, and trainers can have up to 6.

The way actual fights go is that you fight with one of your Pokémon against another singular Pokémon until one of them faints, it's simple enough.

What I think separates Pokémon from most RPGs in this era are the weaknesses and how similar your Pokémon are from the ones you fight.

The Pokémon you fight are the same as the ones you can control and are equally as strong.

Of course, there is a level difference in some cases, but it's mostly fair fights if you play as intended.

It would be boring if every fight was always perfectly balanced for each Pokémon, and that's where weaknesses come in.

Each pokémon has specific weaknesses depending on its typing and a hit with their weakness pretty much means defeat most of the time.

And that's why Pokémons can only have 4 moves, if they had more they could be busted, so this balance between weaknesses and limited moves is what makes Pokémon feel so different from other RPGs.

But the balance on this specific game is kind of dumb.

You can beat the game with your first Pokémon, which is fairly easy as it will get a lot of levels if you only use them, and I kind of feel it's encouraged.

Training Pokémons takes a long time in this game, and quite a lot of them are borderline unusable when you first get them.

This forces you to either come back to an earlier zone to grind to give them levels, or putting them on the front to change to your strong Pokémon, which gives them half of the EXP.

It is until the very late game that you are able to get an item that shares the EXP you gain in battle to every Pokémon in your party.

But:

A) They get very little EXP, as the way it's shared is by dividing the half of the EXP between the number of benched Pokémon you have.

B) It increases the amount of text you have to go through by a lot, making training even slower.

Though you could bring only 1 other Pokémon so they get half of the EXP and keep text boxes to a minimum, but it could be risky if your main Pokémon faints and you are unable to flee with your weak Pokémon, you risk losing a lot of money.

I like the type of gameplay they came up with, but the snail speed of the game makes it so not fun to play.

There's also a big lack of difficulty, because every route and cave are so short you can easily come back to the last Pokémon center every time one of your Pokémon gets injured instead of wasting money on potions for the way to the next city.

Another thing that bothers me a lot is how little space you have to save your items, you can save the stuff you don't need right away to the pc, but even that runs out of space surprisingly fast.

If you want to collect a lot of move discs for when you want to make a very strong Pokémon odds are you will run out of space by then.

So, to summarize

It's the lack of plot, the simplistic level design, and the general speed of the game that makes the cool gameplay hidden in the game unable to come through, at least for me.

I've played so many RPGs that respect my time that I am not able to enjoy this game, it makes me wish it was at least 3 times faster.

But like I said, there are some cool things about this game and it wasn't a hit for nothing, it worked for people and it isn't terrible if you are able to look past the extremely slow speed.

So, would I recommend it? Not really, Fire Red is right there and it's such a much better and smoother game.

And that's all I had to say, thank you for reading this far if you did get this far, any reblogs would be appreciated, I would love to engage in a conversation with people who love this game to hear their perspectives.

Undertale Retribution: Chapter 2 Page 8

This might come as a shock to some, but Chara never had a Kill or be Killed mentality at any point in Undertale Canon. And Flowey would know this, because of their past. Remember, as long as you (the player) don't kill everything, they try to teach you that it's Kill or be Killed. So this will come into play during this series as a plot point. I was going to explain things more, but I forgot what I wanted to say, lol. Enjoy~ Undertale © Toby Fox

Error Chara Answers: 008

10th Question asked by: @askfriskanddata ‘s Chara

Poor Data Chara, being teased by Error Chara. I wonder if she knew they'd be able to see them? Don't worry, Error means no harm, they're just trying to see what kind of Chara Data is~ This marks the first Tumblr question to be answered. Drawing Data Chara was so much fun ^ -^ she's such a cutie <3 Enjoy~ Undertale © Toby Fox Datatale © Riolumon a.k.a. @askfriskanddata

Error Chara: Breaking Barriers

Yeah, Reaper ain't to happy. It's not like they're BFF's with Error or anything, baka! Though they could be friends = 3=. It's more that there's a place in where Chara's can be Chara's. None of the B.S. from the other worlds. Just Chara's enjoy Tea, Flowers, and games. So by Core enforcing this rule, it makes it seem like any other AU in Reapers view. Where there's a higher being that dictates how everyone lives. And the 5 types of beings that Reaper highlights, Error isn't fond of, they share Reapers views on them. Although, now that Core is more or less the caretaker of The Void Oasis, they're taking extra precautions to make sure it stays safe. Welp, Error Chara is frustrated, and their faux face has worn off. I was going to save the reveal for later, but I'm slow at uploading, and I like how they look ^ -^ anyway~ Have Fun~ Undertale © Toby Fox CORE!Chara © @dokudoki​ Reapertale Chara © @renrink Bottles Chara © @hawker-the-gary Fresh Chara © @loverofpiggies Chara "Buddy" Dreemurr © Dreamyume formally known as Dreamy-94 Chara "Cinnamon" Dreemurr © @digeridoodler Fell Chara © @underfell Swol Chara © Shouganairu

Undertale 7th Anniversary: Chara Tribute

The textless version of this will be my submission for the Undertale AU Community Project 2022 This one is a little more involved than last years... well, a lot more involved. And while I think I improved from last year, I still have a ways to go, but at least I'm moving forward. I'm not even sure how to order all the Chara's properly, I might just make a list in alphabetical order with a brief description and a credit/link to the original artist (providing link is available) AFAC Chara: by @askfriskandcompany  - They're the Skeleton Chara with the glowing red hair. "Classic" Chara: © Toby Fox - The original, wearing a green and gold stripped long sleeve shirt and a silver monster soul locket. Cross Chara: by @jakei95 - They're dressed in all white and dark purple, and holding a big knife o vo! Data Chara: by @ask-dcf - She's wearing a black and white poncho and and is just adorable ^ -^ Epic Chara: by @yugogeer012 - They're in a Black and Red tunic, holding a knife that's serrated in the middle of the blade. Error Chara: this version is by me - They're floating near the top with bright Cyan hair. FellswapX Chara: by @fellswap-x  - They're the Chara with one arm in the light and dark purple "poncho" Fresh Chara: Fresh concept by @loverofpiggies - this specific design for Fresh Chara I'm still trying to figure out who originally designed it. They're in the mutli-coloured hat, green vest, and burnt orange pants. GenTem Chara: by www.youtube.com/c/GenTem - They're the ghostly one, bottom middle, with a red "x" hair clip KFC Gang Chara: by @somedancingpineapple - They resemble Classic Chara, but are a ghost, and don't have a locket, actually, some might argue they look more classic than the classic that I drew for this o wo Poketale: Ascendance Chara: by @instaquarius - They're in the white and gold holding a pure red Pokeball, aka a Cherish Ball. Ragnartale Chara: by @naomyart - She's in the red and white dress, elegant and sometimes eloquent ^ -^ Reapertale Chara: by @renrink - They're the floating one wearing a black cloak and wielding a big scythe, though it's hard to see since so many other Chara's are covering it up o 3o TallTale Chara (Corrupted Chara: Final Form): by https://www.deviantart.com/clobertina - They're essential the background. It was hard trying to scale them right, and even then, I think I still made them to small. Those bright purple, yellow, and blues Toptale Chara: by @the-great-pipmax  - They're the ghostly red one, floating all cutely in the center ^ -^ And I think that's everybody hopefully all the links work, and everyone has a good time ^ -^ Enjoy~ Undertale © Toby Fox
