Fuck it.
Hebert has a Handgun: everywhere Taylor looks, she sees guns and munitions. Sometimes they are in incredibly inconvenient places. At least one time she finds a gun, it is in her backpack. At school. Where Madison can see if her gaze falls just so.
But that's not important.
What's important is how unimportant Taylor is in spite of this. The guns are a side note in her life. She is so very small in the end. She is just a speck of dust is the great cosmos of the universe. The night sky is beautiful beyond the words she loves with her mother.
Brockton Bay is bright. Boston is brighter still even in the distance. The stars? The galaxy? The universe as seen from a rooftop? It shines clearly in spite of all the reasons that would obscure it.
Clearly, Taylor is parahuman. Or she is under the effect of a parahuman power. Her vision remains sharp with or without her glasses. (She can wear sunglasses at night with no issues at all.) But what sort of cape just sees clearly? Try as she might, sharp vision is nothing so special as to challenge any of the problems in Brockton Bay.
But that is no reason not to try.
A gun on school grounds cannot stop her. It is nothing a tattoo cannot fix. It may be a pain to explain the tramp stamp, but at least it is not grounds for immediate expulsion and criminal record. Or getting gunned down by cops.
#chatter#worm#prompt#?#it's more an outline#shit what was my tag for my card carrying monsterfucker librarian? she was the original marksman branded glasses girl#one thing i don't mention above is that grue's smoke is also not fully effective#she can flashlight her way through it with some difficulty sepending on the strength of the light in question#also the tramp stamp is not permanent or fixed#it is just incredibly inconvenient like the gun#she has a few possible cape names#stargazer is the first based on her taking night walks and stargazing and calling in tips to the police#after that it's a mess#ideas vary#it would be a prt placeholder or taylor special or maybe a lisa insistence#tattoo would reflect her most obvious power#guns and related accessories can become tattoos on her body which she can later retrieve#missed mark could be be an insulting name and a riff on her initial lack of shooting skill#she doesn't get particularly good at it either#but mainly i thought it would be a play off of miss militia and a sort of dark mirror deal#the protectorate's noble hero versus the undersiders' half cocked villain#oh something i don't touch on at all is that her shots are weirdly effective#it doesn't come up often or stand out because she doesn't shoot much and hits even less but uh brutes beware#shit did i post any of this already?

I can't believe people would slander ocean sunfish for having a lot of parasites. Uh, hello?? Every animal in nature has parasites dipshit, it came free with living in an ecosystem
#aquatic ecosystems are filled with parasites!! they get transmitted super easy thanks to the. you know. water#fish have sooooooo many parasites you have no idea! so many varied groups! its actually mega cool. they teach us a lot about the ecosystem#anyway. ocean sunfishes are awesome if you hate them youve been fed propaganda (unless an ocean sunfish murdered your family)#sunfish#ocean sunfish

(typing this as I walk to work so this is not articulate but) thinking a lot abt how les mis w javert sort of. hm. questions? problematizes? the Idea of dogs & the domestication of dogs (metaphorically ofc) like it sort of looks past the 'man's best friend' angle entirely & makes you think things like. kind of fucked up of humans [the social order] to domesticate the wolf [person outside of society for whatever reason] expressly to turn against & cause harm to other wolves in order to keep them out [away from respectable society] & keep themselves safe but never truly consider it an equal [it'll always just be a dog]. kind of fucked up that the dog finds enjoyment & life's purpose in this
#this is NOT to absolve him of responsibility tbc like He Did All That. but it's just soo#idk i think like i said the dog metaphors are way more interesting than in a lot of other stuff bc a lot of stuff is simply unwilling to#question the fundamental idea of a dog if that makes sense. they want it to be a fundamental good thing that can be perverted#but idk 'dogs are good. people and dogs are meant to be together. in a good way' gets conceptually boring really quick#<- to be clear this is not about dogs in real life. i very much like dogs in real life. just abt literary dog metaphors & motifs#thoughts#les mis#i will say though the metaphor in the book is varied & situational so you can't develop a single framework from it this is just one aspect#anyways where's that comic about wolves seeing a dog & thinking 'what a scary fucked up creature'. javert to me sort of

hi hello i like kerfur
listen i know the player character in votv is an actual character with a name and everything but consider: what if it was you tho
#voices of the void#votv#kerfur#votv kerfur#look if you've been here a while you know what i'm about#idk the idea of being stuck in a setting like votv with the closest thing to a companion being a robot#who's debatably about as sentient as a toaster. who then upgrades into a cuter person-shaped version#who is STILL debatably as sentient as a toaster#while your only outside contact is with your dubious shady bosses and the aliens who seem to have varying motives (none good)#is like. very delicious very juicy#oh also the supernatural spookies can't forget those! how fun how delightful#could be a psychological horror. and it is. but also it's a robot dating sim bc i'm predictable#i'm allergic to drawing their feet apparently whoops#my art

More than just the Demon.
#ffxiv#digital art#zenos yae galvus#venat#endwalker spoilers#will forever be fascinated with this man#look guys look- the literal embodiment of wol's wings of hope LOL (and me going hehe about that and footfalls)#the part of me that adores digging into the nuance of character writing (intentional or otherwise) is just latched onto zenos#and venat-- they cant just give us two characters who get really important 1v1 duels#and ask really important questions#and love the MC and are willing to risk themselves so unconditionally#and have them not live rent free in my brain#--and maybe this tiptoes into the realm of crack theory so beware there will be a lot past here--#but I cant help but think zenos is akin to an oracle or warrior of light but was tempered/corrupted by zodiark#or some strange happenstance of varis (who shares visual traits to golbez before 6.0 ever came out and the dark mana burst)#and carosa (who it seems zenos got his looks from- and he already looks like he has ties to venat and argos like minfillia does)#was he a result of the eternal chess match between the two parties' machinations? or just some strange twist of fate?#another day of him being “emet's successful experiment” (again- intentional or no) making me thonk#theres something so strange about the final days dreams and how dark aspected he is- that his void abilities are more tied to him tbh#yet his mannerisms beyond just what he's been through almost reminds me of light corruption and the uncanny calmness#we see in most beings associated with the light in any significant way and like second phase eden shiva#he almost has all the marks of someone who shouldve already had the echo or blessing of light but for one reason or another#was unable to hear hydaelyns call#of course it doesnt help i mentally associate him with connections to zero and how she was corrupted before she was even born#and durante- who states uncanny ability and connection with light and darkness and yet favors dark magic more#i simply live with the idea that zenos' soul was an eternally faithful companion to wol's and#this time the cardinal sin of separating the pair finally happened to rather dire consequences lmao

I've gotta say I'm not a huge fan of putting Dragonese into the HTTYD movie franchise. The concept of a full-on dragon language they all share, that can just easily be translated into English, just really doesn't fit imo
I imagine they're a lot more like Orcas
There are universal ways to communicate with strangers of different species, like it's pretty easy to signal things like "i want to fight you" "i want you to leave" "it's dangerous here" "i'm in pain" etc. by just body language and vocalizations- but ways to communicate more complex ideas have to be developed and learned as unique dialects by different groups, especially flocks of dragons consisting of different species.
I imagine a terrible terror flock or a group of Speed Stingers have a lot of an easier time communicating with each other than a Thunderdrum and a whispering death do.
Dragons with their own dialects, cultures, and habits depending on location and group is really cool- I just don't think it should be a direct translation of how humans do these things, such as straight up language or mythologies or such.
#httyd#how to train your dragon#rtte#race to the edge#just some thoughts for the worldbuilding i'm doing- absolutely nothing negative towards ppl who give the dragons a language in their works!#like. the dragons are very intelligent and can understand humans well#(tho their intelligence does vary by species)#but i don't personally enjoy when they're written as just. human-intelligence and sapience in a dragon body w some additional instincts?#idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#aaa i love httyd so much it's so fun to play around w the worldbuilding <333#this has got me reading abt orca language and it's so cool. i need to find out more#hmm. ok my problem apparently isn't dragons having language it's just them having a singular language#dialects and different languages by different species and flock and location ughhhh now that's the good shit#so like the dragons of berk (& especially the riders') might be able to communicate very complex ideas to each other such as plans of attac#and understand their riders very well in human language#but when toothless&cloudjumper meet there's a slight language barrier so they can share things like joy and play and food#but toothless wouldn't be able to tell cloudjumper the story of how he met hiccup

Everyone always talks about how awkward and oblivious a romanced Blade is as if the MC romancing him is any better. Girlie will legit say stuff like "huh crazy how Blade keeps lingering his gaze on me and won't leave my side and blushes whenever I compliment him. This can't possibly mean anything though." They truly deserve each other lmao
Sometimes* I like to headcanon that it's less that MC doesn't notice that Blade probably likes her as time goes on, or that the various signs don't mean anything, and more that he gives off extremely mixed and confusing signals about whether he's actually going to do anything about it... 😅 Mr. Blade 'hungrily nuzzles your hand like your touch is water to a dying man but then immediately drops it and removes himself from the situation like you're lawyers adjourning a meeting' Bronwyn
#*ofc your mileage and OC will vary#an equally oblivious and awkward MC is also extremely possible and extremely hilarious#i headcanon that when i'm writing the route too obviously lol#Trouble/MC as bffs unknowingly in love get all the smoke but Blade/MC stupid fumbling combo can also really give them a run for their money#if it were me his 'wrong idea' comment would have confused me greatly and knocked the romance back -10 MC points for sheer 'oh.' confusion#dummy blade 🔫#Shepherds of Haven#silly#spoilers#heavy#alpha build#alpha preview#Blade#Blade Bronwyn

little isat x pjsk au comic!!! a bit unserious, but i had to draw this once the idea popped up…
in this au, Siffrin’s fondness for puns is replaced with Rui’s love of theater direction. he doesn’t express his more abstract ideas much, preferring to “keep everyone happy” and remain palatable by creating more normal concepts, but I think sometimes they slip out.
dialouge under the cut (bc my handwriting isn’t the best)
Rui: >Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: “Oh, Rui! Finally up?”
Rui: “Mh. What are you doing?”
Tsukasa: “Checking out the favor tree! It’s so tall, it must be ANCIENT to be so big.”
Rui: | Say, that tree would make a good stage…
> With enough force, maybe we could use the branches to launch you over the sun?
Both: . . .
Rui: [WHAT.]
Tsukasa: Is that so?
#isat#in stars and time#pjsk#project sekai#I need an au tag eventually. but I am unsure what to use.#art#digital art#au#pjsk au#isat au#overall Tsukasa usally does go along w most ideas as they do in canon!#and so does the rest of the party. though with varying levels of agreement and hesitation#rui forgets this fact over time.#rui kamishiro#tsukasa tenma#<- added tags bc i forgot them last night!!!!I posted this at like 12 whoopsies

uhm there was gonna be more but i lost motivation lmao
just kinda random lore things from my own interp of thigns cuz why not i need an excuse to discuss this mod with people
#art.png#sprunki#sprunki tunner#sprunki brud#sprunki raddy#tw blood#i think it's sonic.exe rules where when you get killed you're under the thing's control with varying degrees of awareness and stuff#i do think a few people were corrupted beforehand while the others are trapped in the control after death#ofc some didn't ACTUALLY die yet and survived their injuries hence why they're classified as “survivors”#but also wenda is considered a survivor only cuz like. i think she was moreso manipulated into being corrupted rather than forced#so TECHNICALLY she's more in control of her actions. while also not.#i'm rambling in the tags but yea i've been thinking about this stuff! idk the mod gives me room to come up with ideas lmao#sprunki interpretation#forgot to make a tag.. there ya go

Different Italian anon, but the thing with Tuscan C is that it's pronounced like a very strong H sound, which is extra weird cuz the letter H makes no sound in Italian, normally. It sounds the way Spanish pronounce the J. We say it's "aspirato". So then people from there will say things like Hoha Hola (coca cola), and it's funny. It's also extremely contagious, I got family in Florence, you spend 3 days with them you start doing it too before you even realize.
.
#that sounds really endearing actually#answered#anonymous#this is entirely beside the point but I still feel sort of bamboozled by languages that have silent letters#or when letters have multiple pronunciations that vary wildly from word to word#and when the sound and the letter don't seem to match like how J sounds very close to H in Spanish like you mentioned#I'm generalizing a little but none of these are really a thing in Finnish#in Finnish words are pretty much always pronounced the way they are written if that makes sense#I don't know the language terminology but I think phonetic spelling is what you call it#each letter represents a specific sound and you string those together#when you hear a word you can always tell how it's written and when you read a word you know how to pronounce it#even if you're encountering the word for the first time and have no idea what it means#it's comparatively direct and predictable there's practically no need for guessing or memorizing#also the stress is always on the first syllabe and it's so subtle it might as well not be there at all#which sometimes makes spoken Finnish and Finnish accent sound kind of monotonous there isn't a lot of intonation#I was extremely confused by the concept of spelling bees as a kid#anyway long tag ramble but this stuff is just interesting to me

A gimmick which I think would be interesting in a visual novel: small variation in the visual designs of the sprites and backgrounds based on who's narrating a given scene. Not large variations, mostly—buildings are going to have generally the same architecture, people are going to have generally the same outfits, et cetera—but lots of details shifting around on the margins, showing the texture of the characters' thought-processes through the visual design of the world as they see it, rather than only through the text of their narration.
So, for example, one could have one viewpoint character be unusually faceblind, and portray this by having all the sprites have Same-Face Syndrome when viewed from their perspective, even as they hold onto more variation face-wise in everyone else's perspectives. One could have one viewpoint character who's unusually conscious of the fine details of their physical environment, and portray this by drawing the environment-art with much more fiddly detail when in their perspective, showing wood-grain and electrical wiring and other such things which are abstracted away in others' perspectives of the same areas. Et cetera.
#Archive#Visual Novels#Premises#there's also some room once the pattern has been established on the small scale to go more intense about it#one character just sort of never seeing the building that's the big landmark for everyone else or something#but making that too prominent will end up leaving you with something less like this-idea-in-its-basic-form and more like saya no uta#and for all that i in fact liked says no uta itself it's definitely not particularly about the-thing-this-idea-in-its-basic-form-is-about#so there's a bit of a balancing act there#(the thing this idea is about being largely 'people vary widely in which bits of the world they tend to notice / pay attention to')#(in a mundane way as opposed to just a magical-perception-filtering way)

Probably how the song cover yuu au would start, it branches from this headcanon post nothing too interesting as he mostly does it while alone but I figured I'll draw a little introduction in case I do random doodles of this little au.
Basically, he tries and sings >regrets it >posts the song >regrets it again >it gets shared >oh no >oh please no no no >ah fuck it, might as well film a clip for a cover at some point >not showing his real self tho
He labeled the songs as lost media as an excuse but he's not wrong and not right either, somehow... Since the songs are not from twisted wonderland they were never lost, but rather never existed but he can't tell this so yeah.
#twisted wonderland#twst yuu#don't ask where the mic went when the keyboard spawned idk it's magic#first cover is decent he'll get better gradually though I don't think his vocal range is crazy he's just a lil guy after all#so he probably adapts some instrumentals according to his range 'cause yeah vocaloid songs go so high sometimes pls miku let us keep up w/#no idea what song he makes covers of probably weeb stuff but with a slight accent#through the fire and flames is out of the question but maybe lilia could nail it death metal style#dude would probably cry if asked to sing in public so he is probably not suspected for now#i cringe at my own au but hey cringe is in the eye of the beholder just like art so it varies from person to person

And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.
#ffxiv#sketch#wol#meteor survivor#zenos yae galvus#adventurer zenos#oh no#its the consequences of his actions#everything is fine until the only man on the star you care about looks at you with the same contempt your father did#(Meteor's not doing it intentionally- its a reflex after he comes back for quite a bit)#and zenos is getting bodied because its been a while since... you know... him being able to really feel anything at all#and no- its not him regretting anything that had to do with varis- just him regretting the thought meteor could look at him like that#little does Meteor know he's emotionally bodying the man he's trying to be cordial with#its a little okay because in how I write adventurer zenos this serves as one of his main wake-up calls to make some changes#and realizing both the mistakes he's made with meteor and that meteor hating him in any way is actually -not at all- what he wants#but not okay on the end that every time meteor does this he has to watch zenos actively dissociate right in front of him#until zenos just kinda autopilots and walks away#the second time (or perhaps third) in the last 11 years that zenos has felt regret to any major capacity-#on meteor's end I just enjoy seeing the progression of the WoL through subtext#and why meteor is willing to even entertain the idea despite how much he hates zenos- his decisions and the path he's walked#is the realization that there is high chance that he could actually be a direct catalyst for zenos' growth#and the realization the wol has that they were the only one zenos has ever genuinely reached out to#besides- i just like the idea of having your equal other half fighting back to back with you- or being able to handle threats you cant#and i find their dynamic neat- of meteor not forgiving zenos but giving him his last chance- and growing to enjoy being around him#and zenos being able to work on moving past being the weapon or the monster- finding the connections he's longed for#and giving himself purpose to finally truly just live- for him to learn to experience and have the freedom to find what he enjoys#(and curiously him having estinien's brand of accidently helping people even in StB gives me ideas...)#but enough tag ranting- ill get to zenos' actual adventuring in another post lol
