#i wanted the same colour scheme xD

[capn-twitchery]

ok one Small funny. happy freudpocalypse 2024

OH NO I FORGOT IT WAS APRIL FOOLS TOMORROW!!!! i don't have any bits planned.....i usually do but alas, no funnies here this year

[phoenixcatch7]

I'm sorry, I can't deal with the svsss anime 3d style, I can't take it even slightly seriously lmaoooo. It looks so hideous next to the gorgeous 2d mdzs and tgcf, with their flowing robes and ribbons and exquisite lighting and stunning effects. I just, I know it's a parody comedy that isn't as polished as her next two books, but mxtx please, you're letting your first born down ToT.

The fact that this fandom is going strong even on the other side of the world nearly a decade later, too. Like. Bingqiu deserves to look slightly decent compared to the other two but if we can't have that could we at least have that second season :'). I'm sure people would be more drawn to it if it didn't look so much like boneless plastic dolls in cosplay.

[doodlesandbooks]

I was inspired by @sham-w0w's sketch of her versions of the avatars and wanted to have my own go XD -please go and check out her lovely art :)

design notes under the cut:

Names:

I chose a name for f!robin that was bird based and had the same number of syllables, and that ended in an N and started with R, hence ‘Ravan’

Male Corrin has their Japanese name: 'Kamui'

Bylee is a pet name that my sister gave her f!byleth when she first played through 3 houses (other options included Byres or Beresu since that was her name in Japanese, but I preferred Bylee.)

I couldn't think of a good name for her so eventually I put the Japanese kanji of their name into google translate. It came up with Chez, so I've gone with it! XD

The name Luear, was a combination of their Japanese name Luere and their English name Alear.

Robin:

I gave both Robins a Validar/aversa skin tone, but gave Ravan the fringe and eye bags that my favourite design of f!robin has. I kept her pigtails though because they’re pretty integral to the characters silhouette. I also gave her a slightly darker shade of hair since in FEwarriors, she has a grey hair tone.

My character customisations of male robin (left) female robin (right)

FE Warriors Anna's momento 1 for hair colour reference

Aversa and validar's portraits for skin tone reference

Corrin:

I love them both so I kept them pretty similar to the usual designs. I did make him a bit younger since his design is based off of his younger option whereas her's is based off of the older option. I also gave him a hoshidan earring because I thought it looked cute and he tends to represent the hoshidan route. I also like to give them lil sharp dragon teef because they deserve it.

My customisation choices for both Corrins

Byleth:

for the byleths i made them both look slightly blue in complexion because of their hearts not really working. Both of them have some pale and some dark hair and part pale part dark eyes. I gave f!byleth more of the paler colouration since I tend to only play her myself on blue lions or azure gleam, so she always has that colour scheme. He also has the darker hair in engage so it seemed fitting to do it that way round. I love them both so I wanted to draw them both pretty close to the original.

Shez:

Shez has a design that I have a love hate relationship with, on the one hand, I appreciate how silly it is, on the other hand, it is ridiculous. However, purple and orange is a solid colour scheme. I really love how they both look in their powered up form, so I have given them elements of that in their base design.

f!Shez's very layered fringe vs un-layered main section of hair really bothers me, so I have given her a shorter hair cut... also freckles because I love freckles and I thought they suited her.

Alear:

I kept both the Alear designs very similar to the original, except for male Alear's eyes, which I've given a darker colour.

In the fell Xenologue, the only time we see his face, Xenologue Alear is in shadow, hence the darker eye colour, I also gave him one of my favourite silly accessories from the DLC - the single earring! XD

[ttrpg-smash-pass-vs]

I... Actually think I get couatl asker.

If you ask people to list "what is the most smashable DnD monster", couatls are no way in the list you'd generally think of. Like, minotaurs and dragons and etc etc are all so ingrained in what we think as sexy fantasy creatures.

But couatls are, despite this, a solid pick in many circumstances. Like, they aren't your immediate first thing you come to mine, but in a head to head "this or that" poll, they tend to make the most sense?

They have all the fun and drama of dragons, the softness of feathered wings, the ability to coil like many of the snake ones, they're certainly much larger than you at 3.7m (12 feet) but aren't impractically large, they're strong and nimble and fast and charismatic, they're telepathic, they can create food and water, they can use restoration spells on you, and they're capable of shape changing into humanoids.

Like, they have near anything you could want. They even outpace things like the doppelganger since they have their own shape changing, and at a cr4 limit to their shape changing for humanoids, it can technically even turn into things like weretigers and other lycanthropes, so they aren't even limited to just basic player races.

And the lore goes out of their way to describe their mating practices as being beautiful???

Add on a good personality and a rainbow colour scheme and yeah no

Couatls are the sleeper, unthought of underdog choice that on any thought against most competitors is just the better option?

You also sent an ask apologizing for this, but I *DID* ask XD yeah that makes sense. I did kinda expect there to be sleeper hit like this, guess I just didn't see it being the coatl. It's the same way the dragons are suddenly losing. Yeah everyone would smash a dragon, but when comparing they're just surprisingly not as appealing as the other option. The coaltl was a decent smash, but in comparison just always comes out on top somehow.

FTH Fanbinding: "Frisky Business" by WaterMe

Can you believe it, I’m finally posting the first book of my three fanbindings for the Fandom Trumps Hate Crafts Bazaar! Will wonders ever cease!

This fic was requested by the raffle winner @phenomenalasterisk after @waterme-stories agreed to their fic being bound. It’s an MCU fic with that includes Peter Parker being turned into a cat and an eventual Peter/Clint pairing. I read it and it was really funny!

Of the three FTH books, this was the first typesetting I finished. Mostly because it was very straight forward in structure (almost no “special formatting” like text messages, articles etc.) and also included great graphics by the author that were perfect for chapter headers, spacers etc. It made the typesetting overall quite easy, even though I always need a while to finish that stuff.

I did the title page based on the author’s title design (that wasn’t vertical so I couldn’t use it), but other than that I basically just kept their graphics.

I tried something new for the endpapers: I foiled them. I hoped that it would look nice and had to put a lot of craft paper through the laminator until I found the combination that worked.

I wanted to keep with the Hawkeye/Spider-Man theme and so chose graphics of Clint and a nice spiderweb/spider combination. I also kept to their colour schemes.

Clint turned out very well; that lilac is such a lovely colour. The red for the web also worked fine overall, but the blue for the spider didn’t connect well at all, even though it’s the same brand than the other two colours. :/ I coloured it in with acrylics which tends to rub off again, so I scrubbed over it with some tissues until I was satisfied. XD

There are some unfortunate creases in the endpapers, but those came from the laminator, it tends to wrinkle the paper a bit at times. But it’s not too bad.

The case design gave me more of a pause and I dithered around a lot.

The foil is actually supposed to be holographic, and depending on the light, you can see it. But it’s very very faint and mostly looks silver, which I think works well with the rest, at least, even though I would’ve liked for the holographic effect to be more obvious.

Overall, I’m really pleased with how this book turned out. Thank you again to @phenomenalasterisk for participating in FTH this year and trusting me with this.

Materials used:

Printed on Clairefontaine DCP 100g (long grain) Case + endpapers: - booklinen Brillianta - Efalin paper - craft paper 120g (endpapers) - hot foil (on brand)

Here's the link to the fic, added belatedly because it slipped my mind after all the typing...

[star-going-supernova]

hi! I'm new to your blog, I recently succumbed to Monsterverse brainrot and stumbled upon your fics and I really enjoy them! I've spent the past few days just reading them nonstop.

not sure if you're familiar with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure but I want to let you know every time I read your human titan AU fics I always picture Godzilla and Ghidorah respectively looking like Jotaro and Dio and it's a very funny mental image.

I mean they even have the same colour schemes!

Hello! You're in good company, lol, the brainrot has claimed many around here. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my stories!

I'm not familiar with it, but I looked those dudes up, and my gosh. I see it. You're not wrong. XD

[shadowxamyweek]

one more ship for each half of shadamy: sonadow and metamy!!

(In relation to this)

XD Someone actually beat you out asking me for MetAmy so I'm gonna leave a link heeeeere. Long story short though- makes sense and compels me.

Ah... SonAdow though...

...When I say it makes sense, I mean, 'I get why it's a fandom favorite.' The colour scheme, the personalities, the history. Of course it's a fandom favorite, and to a degree, I personally can see the appeal. Hell, I've seen and read some *beautiful* SonAdow works that I absolutely adore.

Beyond that though, no, it doesn't compel me. I personally, in my own interpretation of the characters, can't see the ship working out.

To put it very, very short, I think Sonic is Aro/Ace, and while he may occasionally entertain the idea of getting into some sort of relationship, ultimately, it's not what he wants. Furthermore, I think Shadow needs some semblance of stability to ground them. So much of Shadow's life is out of their control or up in the air- they might not know it (or be willing to recognize it), but they probably crave a lodestone of some sort, and Sonic can't be that for them.

(Same reasons as to why I don't think SonAmy work either, actually, and why I'm not a SonShadAmy shipper either.)

Again though, I've seen and read works that sort of bend the characters in such a way where it works out beautifully, and when the ship passes by in the harbor, I'll always be happy to see it and wave, but it's just... not one I'm going to be boarding XD

[mahou-furbies]

Alright here's the results for the 2024 Precure Hopes and Predictions!

Q1: Hopes for the theme of the season?

Technology/games. Or more likely: science?

Military, video games

Technology / Gaming

Computers and/or bugs

Video games/Tech

the arts (both performing and visual)

Seriously hoping for creating things as a theme

Art theme! Or something winter-related (a precure team located in Hokkaido? That would be so cool!)

I would like a season based on a combination of gemstones and popular hobbies like arts, sports, and science. It can have a moral theme of "finding your inner sparkle, your one true talent."

I've always thought that season-based characters (spring, summer, etc.) were really fun, with lots of possibilities as far as power and design go! But it would be harder to have a sixth ranger, and we've just had a 4+1 season, so I'm not too hopeful… I guess I'd like a story around art (like, each of the girl represent a certain form of creativity?) We've had lots of cures who were artist of some kind, but their interests are rarely reflected by their cure powers!

someday i want a 4 seasons precure

Flowers

I hope for flowers theme or elementals but i think it will be idols or fashion

Insects would be fun! (ladybug lead, butterfly and honeybee Cures. Moth midseason!)

Carnival.

Cars and racing, fairy tales (specifically Peter Pan), music and dancing

We never had a proper fairy/fairy tale season, so that!

Fairy

unlikely but aliens would be fun

cats/felines + lolita fashion + fantasy

Pirates

Mythology

Gemstones

Sports

Q2: Predictions for Cure theme colours?

Standard pink/yellow/blue to follow the pattern Hugtto set

please please please don’t go back to pink/blue/yellow

Ideal - Pink/Yellow/Green/Blue or White; Realistic - Pink/Blue/Yellow/Purple

Pink, blue, yellow, purple

Pink, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Red

I want a blue and a pink at first, then green and yellow (maybe also purple) but I am sure it will be pink/blue/yellow again

Pink, Blue, Yellow, Purple maybe, No green lol

Pink, blue, yellow, purple, maybe green?

I'm kind of curious, since Toei got pretty original with the colour scheme this year… My guess is, either they'll go for something super conventional like Healin Good or Delipre, or they're going to keep their "unique color scheme" streak.

Similar to ALaMode it can be the standard trio (PBY), followed by a red and purple duo, and later joins a vibrant green.

pink, blue/teal, purple, black/white/grey would be super cool!

Pink, Orange, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple

Pink - Blue - Red - White (midseason)

Pink, Red, Purple

Pink, blue, green

Pink, red, white, and purple

White, orange, indigo, green, red, teal

dark pink/red, blue, and gold (later cures would be green, purple, and black/white/grey)

For gaming: the usual letter button colors (red green yellow blue) For science: uhh, def needs a Cure Combust thats red. I imagine her having a combo attack with a blue cure that makes blue fire.

Pink leader (current season was too revolutionary, time for Toei to get back to a safer structure), a yellow/orange, a blue one, a mixed weird color joining mid-season and hopefully a green cure

for aliens green orange pink

Green pleasssse (probably pink for the main Cure)

We've gotta get at least one green cure right?

Two colours for each Cure.

Q3: How many Cures do you expect there to be at the start?

Q4: Any other thoughts?

Hopefully there'll be more than one villain active at the same time, Hirogaru Sky was honestly kind of disappointing in that regard (it does not help that the first villain's debut came with a fart joke).

I'm fine with another pink, yellow and blue Cures, but please, at least try to make them different by using different shades of said colors. There are so many, don't settle for the most basic color palette.

If it doesn't happen, I could always make fancures instead.

I really want a cure who becomes an engineer of some kind in the epilogue. Specifically a girl becoming an engineer

I am sure it will not be what I want XD but precure prove me wrong this year!

I would love unique flower motifs for each cure. All of the possibilities!

Mythology would also be a fun theme, but the Tropical team had a phoenix and so did Cure Wing, so they would probably try to space that out.

The cures' designs would be based on wild cats and domestic cat breeds: maine coon, norwegian forest cats (e.g cure forrêt), serval, jaguar. There would be a cat goddess (who could possibly also be a precure)!

Male Cure, Twins as cures, a disabled cure, a chubby cure, and a cure of color (like Elena)

I think it'd be neat to have the main trio be required to transform together as a call-back to Black/White, Bloom/Egret, Melody/Rhythm, Miracle/Magical, and Macherie/Amour, plus to keep celebrating 20 years of Precure

they will go back to pink/blue/yellow

i want scifiesque magical girls i feel like theres been lots of fairytale themeing recently and i want something very different also the idea of the midseason cure being the pink one amuses me greatly

I want more boy cures

A male lead, preferably voiced by Yuki Kaji

Please, no babies, not another one…

Random list of elements that (I think) haven't been done that much in a precure season: 1) Have cures be siblings/give a significant role to a cure's sibling. 2) Have characters actually be in a romance! I know precure has a young demographic, so romance isn't exactly important, but it's a bit tiresome how many precure romances tend to be unresolved crushes that are dragged throughout the season! I don't care if it's girl/girl, girl/boy or boy/boy, it would just be nice to see characters confess to each other and have their relationship build from there throughout the story. 3) I know there have been debates on relationships between the cures and the villains, how redeemable the villains are, how much the cures should be concerned about them, etc., but I'd like Toei to play on that dynamic more. Maybe a villain questioning their allegiance, or even turning out to be a mole for the good guys! Or on the opposite side, a cure joining the bad guys willingly, whether misguidedly or to become a mole themselves! 4) Fun stuff with the mascots! The mascots are a family! A mascot is a family member of a cure (don't ask me how that works!) Secretely-a-villain mascot! Mascot who is reluctant in their role and a bit cranky! 5) Families and non-magical friends being a relevant part of the cures' life. To be fair, it has been done several times, but it's always nice to see. 6) Boarding school!

Thanks to everyone who took part, reading these was super fun. Let's see if anyone got it right! (though you only get half of a point if the pink-blue-yellow prediction turns out right lol)

[zhalfirin-binds]

Leather inset/inlay on my clamshell box for Bionic Battle Granny

This was another design I hade in mind for that bind so I used it on the clamshell. (Process and problems I ran into below the break)

I have no clear instruction on how to do a leather inlay or mosaic so I pretty much went with what felt like the thing to do. For this I pared both, the covering leather and the inset to the same thickness. I dressed the case of the clamshell and let it dry completely. With that step on the way I had time to prepare my inlay. I printed the design I had in mind. When I was still considering to print this I set the silhouette with the first note of the author instead of the title. Given that I have neither a font small enough nor the necessary amount of letters all at once and I really did not feel like setting world for word and, if necessary, letting the letters cool to keep working I switched to the title instead.

Now the difficult part was, that I wanted tos tick to the colour scheme and have a multicoloured print. To get that look I cut out a narrow line inside the print. Just enough to see where the colours needed to go, arranged all my differently coloured foils with a lot of tape and went on tooling more or less blindly and cut out the silhouette being very careful to have the colours still where I wanted them to go.

That done I realised... I forgot to upscale the size from the actual book to the cover of the clamshell and now Peggy looked very forlorn on that too large cover.

Given that the title was not as crisp as I would have wanted it to be, I tried for another two times to get it better. (I did not, each new attempt was actually worse XD) But a fellow binder on the @renegadepublishing discord server, suggested a speech bubble to fill up the empty space which turned out to be a great idea. So I went with that and added the authors name there.

To bring the cut on the cover I traced it carefully with the pointed side of my leather bonefolder (which is just a regular, but tiny bonefolder) and cut the the leather inside out with a scalpel before pasting in the silhouette.

I had to re-adjust a bit and cut away some more of the dark leather as well as I ended up with small gaps, but I'm pretty pleased how it turned out (considering I had no idea how to do this 'properly'). Fortunately for me, the white leather does not reveal the gaps too much, but if I had to do it again and the inlay had a different colour I'd probably colour the cut out (after peeling of the leather there) in either the colour of the base leather or the inlay leather to avoid white flashing in the gaps.

Below is one of the fucked up larger versions (left) and the one I ended up doing (right). Here they are not cut out or pasted in, but just put on top of the case to check the look (the finished version has a somehow weirdly angled leg, but it's done now. Nothing to do about that)

and here a detailed shot of the gaps and the leg

haechan responded in jisung's place lol

[mcyt-builds-contest]

for some reason, Pandora is more pleasing to my eyes and brain than Pearl's build is.

I think it's because the pattern remains the same and it's a very simple colour scheme,

Or I'm just wired to be biased as hell to Pandora's. Idk. But I really want Pandora to win even though I think it seems Pearl's seems to be winning rn XD

Idm too much but would be happy if Pandora came out winning lol

30 day GW2 Challenge

Which race was the first one you played with? Believe it or not, it was Charr. I just wanted to play something that was beastly and as grotesque looking as I could make her (and I loved that GW2 didn't make them soft and dainty like most other cowardly MMOs out there that brings me to a bloodthirsty rage). I completely forgot at the time that she actually had the same name as my OC (Mourynn)... I guess the name actually stuck with me since the beginning and that's kind of hilarious (once again a Necro in game, but I did delete her (Charr) and remade her into a Sylvari later on (the one I still have now! I did it instantaneously to reuse her name). Funny enough, I even wound up dressing my weird cat in Mordrem fashion before I even knew what the Mordrem were (it was my first outfit that I chose from one of those choice things, and again I was trying to make her into a gross monsterly mess, and it's also funny bc I apparently sort of followed my OCs colouring scheme). The 2nd race I played was actually Human, and I actually still do have her! (my only non-Sylvari lol) She's just my loot bag hoarder now (since she has the most bag space), so I send her all my goodie bags to open all at once when it reaches near capacity. I get all the fun seretonin from opening it all at once and seeing it all add up via the GW2 In-Session app. OH YEAH I EVEN FOUND BABY PICTURES!!! (I somehow retained old screencaps from 2019 of my weird cat. I thought I lost them between computers, but this must've happened after that lol). SHE'S ONLY 14 LEVELS OLD. A KITTEN!!!!!!

This was also the first instance I learned about there being actual lesbians in the game (that meant a lot to me, you have no idea how long I stared at this and proceeded with googling up more info), and between this part that got me lowkey obsessed with Caithe (upon learning about the Faolain thing, and then going deeper into the rabbit hole about Sylvari culture), as well as my unintentional Mordrem-ifying(?) of my weird cat, I was doomed to become a Sylvari lover in the end xD (also I used to main a Druid on WoW too in the ye olde ancient past, so I mean... it all checks out once you add it up lmao). My old Charr also looked hilarious when put up right beside Kasmeer and I thought it was ridiculous and had to add it here. So edgy, wow (meow?)

[nightmaretheif]

As you guys saw i did a Spider-Sona for a friend

So, i was looking through my pintrest when some Gwenpool came up, and i looked at her and went;

'You want a Deadpool Sona?'

She answered that she hadnt seen any sonas for Deadpool and i said 'If Gwenpool exists, why not?'

The we agreed she was getting one xD Shes a big Deadpool fan, and asked for the same colour scheme of Deadpool's but invuertedwhen i said;

'You want tartan?' she looked at me as if it was a silly question (it was xD )

[andromeda-nova-writing]

that shawl really looks like wriothesley’s clothes lol. same colour and all XD — @milkstore

I had these colors planned out so long ago lol. Truly a coincidence. I think it just being it his color scheme kinda makes me want to try and finish it in time for his banner

[lostvi21]

Currently trying to figure out all of my characters of my story. And geez, I have too many XD (12 is many ...)

Tried that already before but now I'm trying to figure out thier faces first and after that what they're wearing.

Had a couple good sketches and thought this might be a good oportunity to ramble a bit about them.

So, first off, we have the main villain. (I originally called him Shadow but I am now thinking about a different name. Currently, I wrote down Lord Astaroth Ophidian but not sure if that stays) His color scheme is going to be red and black and what I love most about him is his hair. It goes over in black mist.

I actually haven't thought in detail over his powers but he can move through shadows. Due to his hair emitting shadows, he's able to teleport through different universes. Maybe I might include something like illusions but I need to make sure they're not too similar to another ability from my cast.

I'm not entirely sure about his motives yet, but he wants to overthrow the guardians and wants world domination (I guess for now, but this might also change, as I am trying to figure out the entire story again.)

(And he's currently smiling but he wouldn't hesitate to break your neck.)

(Fun Fact: I gave him the nickname Disney Princess because of his floaty hair XD Just imagine someone walking up to someone killing and manipulating others and saying, "ey, what's up, princess?" I could already imagine a specific character doing that ... and ending up dead XD)

(And another fun fact: I was thinking about to call the villains the 'high-five' that would be so funny XD)

And here we have my sweetie, Senti. She's the second guardian, the guardian of feelings.

Her concept is really interesting. As guardian of feelings, she's able to recognise others' emotions and even manipulate them. But due to being a child, she's not able to control her abilities properly. That means she is mostly affected by the emotions of the people she looks at and feels the same.

That also means that when someone shouts at her and is mad, she mirrors the emotion and even amplifies the one it came from to be even madder (I hope you write it like that XD)

Another cute part of the design, what you cannot see in the sketch is, that her eyes are originally greyish silver but change colour depending on the emotion she's feeling (either own or perceived)

[bexophrenia]

you have the same pfp and colour scheme on your blog as my puppygirl girlfriend does so i got really confused when you liked my post about giving puppygirls chocolate xD i thought she had changed her name and... age and place she lives for a second there (well specifically i was wondering if she was trying to fuck with everyone)

i just wanna be taken to the vet and looked after in the way only a sick animal gets to be, yknow.

so i thought yeah i’d like some chocolate - blind to the fact that chocolate is just nice to humans and then i suddenly didn’t want it anymore now the danger was removed

anyways your girlfriend is i’d imagine a very cool nice person especially if she’s someone who’s change name and adress as a bit, i respect that
