Wait nvm my bad I lied, I do have something for Valentine’s Day—

(Other doodles under a cut)

Also I just found out what the alt text feature does :0. I didn’t notice it before (TwT ;)7. I’m gonna try it out and see how it works! I’ll just uh translate my awful handwriting outside of it here: the third image in this section says “(telling him the whole Bloodborne lore)”.

Okie dokie, Happy Valentine’s Day, I am gonna be celebrating by not doing a whole lot lol

[undefeatablesin]

I think I love you, or at least I'd like to 🌙

[mommytimmy]

what do you mean people can make posts on the internet without knowing anything about what they're talking about? 🤯

[palebloodpresence]

what if i said my genuine opinion of "rom the vacuous spider" is that she's actually not like, peaceful because she's stupid, she's just extremely fucking chill bc she's so enlightened. like she WILL defend herself but really she just wants to hide in her cool lake world and hide dark rituals

[femmefaggot]

our chest aches in so many directions but im being cool about it

cyberpunk bunlith meme breakdown thread incoming!!

i wanted to do a little peek behind the scenes for yall cuz i know a lot of u are interested in my process, so lets jump right in!

first off here is a look of the animation itself in blender, with the original meme as a comparison, which can be found here btw!

the background itself was made to each shot, so the actual zoom out is a mess of meshes re-arranging themselves to line up for the next shot (i have 2 bunliths with associated cams that switch between shots so i can move things to set up the next shot while the other cam is live)

the assets were all made from scratch! this project was essentially a 'dry run' for my next game, which will be made using this style (the same could be said about bunlith herself: testing out the pipeline for expressive, easy to read ps1 style visuals)

i the space background painted a few years ago as concept art for said future game (this game has been a concept since before bloodborne psx started development!). heres a full res, non pixelated version of the art if you are interested!

and here is how it looks in unreal engine! note the pink distance fog which was something i really wanted to experiment with for a very long time as changing the ps1 fog color is the quickest way to change the vibe and i was curious if i could pull off a color as bold as pink

and that's basically everything! thanks for checking it all out 😃

once again, very fun project to work on on the side while i plug away at finishing bloodborne kart!

and top 5 dick & bruce moments <3

vechh you know me and you know how much i LOVE this question!! i'd take literally any excuse to talk about them.. there's just soo much to choose from so i was dying while doing thiss. the one's id choose are pretty generic but i love them all the same::

that moment from obsidian age when faith tells dick about what bruce said to her. dick being so surprised that she assumed bruce was his father and even more surpised at what made her think that way? u are both freaks. the fact that bruce can so casually say this to anyone else but never actually say it to dick's face.. they r CURSED. also dick's expressions!! genuinely jla obsidian age is such a foundational nightwing comic.

"The only time I ever feel pride is when I look at Nightwing. Sometimes I think he's the only thing I ever did right."

their wholee argument during prodigal. love it when they ream each other out, or more likely, dick reams bruce out while bruce stands there because everything he does has a reason dick, and he has a good explanation!! but also because they are soo unwell. bruce thinking dick would never wanna be batman because he has already built nightwing for himself-- which is so much better! bruce truly believes that nightwing is an essential part of the hero community. he believes in dick's ability to lead and inspire. he also believes he doesn't have any right to be a subject of that ability. he doesn't think he deserves dick's loyalty and he outright says this in gotham knights. dick has already done so much for him, how could bruce call him back, especially for this.

robin 13 u will forever be known for this..

"I didn't have the right to call you back."

"The right? I'd die for you bruce."

obviously, just copy pasting the entire comic of bloodborne here. bruce leaving flowers at the graysons' grave every year.. alfred saying he's never missed the occasion so it's obvious something's gone wrong. the flashback... "i dodged the bullet, robin. i always do. okay?" dick setting off alone to find bruce in the middle of the cold harsh weather with nothing but a heartbeat monitor.. SCREAM.

another over used one but also one that altered my brain chemistry. that one panel from infinite crisis. I KNOW IT'S EVERYWHERE-- but that's because it is one of the most insane and fundamental changes that re-routed comic history! alternate superman telling bruce that everyone on this earth is a worse version of everyone on earth-2. telling batman that they should be overwritten, it's only for the best after all. AND WHAT DOES BRUCE SAY??

"And what about Dick Grayson?"

"Yes?"

"Is he a better man on your Earth than he is on mine?"

yeah. bruce's faith in dick transcends alternate realities. the world could be on fire and the incorruptable could become corrupted but bruce wayne can not doubt dick grayson. bruce just casually judges the potential of an entire world by the standards of dick grayson. if the dick grayson on this earth is still a good person then it is still worth saving.

last but not least, a bit of a controversial one, but that scene in forever evil where dick is strapped to the bomb and it's about to go off and he tells bruce to leave him just like bruce has told him many times before. BUT BRUCE CAN'T. he says that the only way they are getting out of this is together as if there aren't like 3 other people in that room with them lmaoo- if dick grayson dies then bruce might as well die too because there is no reality in which he can live without him. his son, his brother, his best friend, his saving grace, his boy OUGH. and then we get the whole spyral fight scene yada yada and it's like a knife cut clean through your heart. one of the first dick & bruce scenes I read and one that will always hold a lot of weight in how I view them.

please bear with me i cant find the panels rn

bonus:: sooo much good robin dick and bruce content coming out omgg -> batman and robin: year one, world's finest

and then there's year one: batman/scarecrow, batman and robin 2021 and i can not reiterate this enough BLOODBORNE!!!

there r also so many single issues of comics i can name but that's a whole list for another time

[superscourge]

I need advice, how do I start or even begin an au?

oh gosh uhhhh how do i describe this

well theres a few ways i think? at least how i do it

one way is that i like...i take canon, and move it a little to the left? as in i look at canon and think "what could i change about this that would be fun?" for example with new game au, i kind of picked and chose parts of canon that i liked from both archie and game/idw canons and slapped em into one big au! for resurrected au i did the same just in a different way lol, with some additional differences added (characters brought through time/dimensions, given organic forms, etc)

another way is to just slap canon characters into a different world entirely! i havent done this one myself yet but its a good one. i guess satbk is a canon example of this??? a lotta crossover aus work here too, first thing that comes to mind is smth i like to do is a bloodborne au lol, ive done it for a couple other fandoms. sonicborne... theyre all hunters for a disease outbreak that turns ppl into beasts...oghhh

"au" means "alternate universe" (not assuming u didnt know im just explaining) so just imagine the characters in a universe different from the main one like in sonic prime! make a change and think about how it affects everything. sometimes one little thing makes all the difference. i think of my swap au--if sonic was a villain instead, SO MUCH SHIT is affected... its so fun to think about

i hope any of this makes sense LOL

[vodyaniks]

i am so 👁👁 about ur bloodborne/rgu au

do u have any more thoughts about it? any ideas for other character designs? no pressure but if u do...🤲🏻

Hell yeah I do! Thanks for asking!

I don’t know how to describe it properly but I’ll try. I imagine the students of the school wearing the masks like choir (and the masks have the rose crest on them) their uniform is also inspired by the students of bloodborne. Also I want to make separate boss designs for all the student council members. Sayonji would be a top naked samurai (more inspired by genichiro last fase from sekiro). Miki I imagine having a clock shield and casting magic/arcane attacks (related to music maybe???) and Touga would be a “false prince” with a shadowy crown and maybe creating shadow clones that you have to fight.oooooh and juri/siori could be something like the lothric and lorian fight in ds3. Also when I started designing all this I realised how samey all the council members look I guess it’s for the sake of animations simplicity but still….

And that’s about it for now but I intend to keep posting new designs as I come up with them 😎😎😎✨✨✨✨

Also if anyone has their own ideas for this au I would be so happy to hear them :)))

What's ur favourite weapon across any souls game if u haven't answered already

hunter axe. it's the hunter axe. i know it seems like kind of a basic weapon to pick, i never hear anybody talk about that thing & it's aesthetically much less striking than other bb strength options like the kirkhammer or saw cleaver, it doesn't even stand out amongst the three starting weapons, and on top of that it doesn't have a serrated/righteous bonus *or* any thrust attacks to speak of. but, nevertheless, it is a fucking workhorse. it can do close range, it can do mid range, it can do fast it can do slow it can lock down single targets it can clean up groups, you want a job done the hunter axe can do it no questions asked. i feel towards that thing the way a dyke with one of those unkillable twenty year old pickup trucks feels about her car, which is to say that if they let me i'd fuck it. basically every strength weapon in bloodborne is incredible but it's the hunter axe that got me through orphan of kos. if i start talking at length about how wonderful the charged R2 feels it will not even be the first time i've done so on this blog

[katyspersonal]

thank u for pointing out the unfair finlenia stances in the fandom..a lot of people dont get that not liking a ship is sometimes a taste thing and not bigotry. i personally hc malenia as demi and i like to imagine she kept a professional relationship with her soldiers but finlay was a big admirer. i dont want to get hate for this take though

Aww anon come here;

I'd love to say that disliking a ship is always a taste, not "sometimes", but... well, some people who are invested in shipping will prefer only straight ships and consider gay ones "sin"/degeneracy/whatever led them to it. I haven't run into this sort of fans in a VERY long while but I doubt they went 100% extinct.

Nonetheless, it IS important to not instantly assume the worst about the person just because they don't share the vision of the ship that the 'cool kids' of the fandom decided is canon! Even if initial concern comes from a 'reasonable' place (like not wanting those conservative bigots to shame people in the fandom), this sort of fear and alertness ALWAYS ends up hurting waaaaaay more innocent people than it punishes the guilty ones! This principle applies not just to fandomry discourse of course but everywhere; being hyper-alerted and always set on detecting the enemy just inevitably turns you into THESE guys:

(In case if you don't know of Bloodborne, these guys are pretty much the mentality and reflection of what happens when you become so paranoid you'll rather have many innocents executed than "risk to let a beast slide", super smart and striking portrayal of our clown world ssdhfhds All this to say is that I do not DEhumanise these haters, I know where it came from but I still disapprove of this culture of reactive paranoia)

Okay enough with my ENTP bullshit and back on the subject; aro/ace spectrum Malenia headcanons are valid! As well as your suggestion about her keeping professional distance with her knights. For example, it is reasonable to assume that she felt guilt since all her Knights inflicted inevitable decay on themselves to stand by her side:

What if Malenia had emotional barrier, if not deep guilt for existing, that no amount of Finlay's convincing that she wanted this fate could break? What if the issues Malenia developed through life of both idealisation and demonisation (both are dehumanising) made her push someone, especially a subordinate, away upon assuming they "don't know what they want"? What if she is afraid of relationship because, since Scarlet Rot can sprout stronger in reaction to emotional pain (as we seen from Millicent blooming if she was betrayed), Malenia is scared shitless to harm another person or herself should relationship ever cause deep pain? Or what if Malenia forsaken considering relationship altogether because she identifies as 'blade of Miquella' and is not willing for any bond to become more important than that (and someone can expect romantic love to eclipse familial one, it depends on the perspective).

There are many directions to take in either why Malenia might not love Finlay, love but not want to date Finlay, or not love/date anyone. Why she either can't or doesn't want to! I have a couple of two other mutuals who are scared to tell anyone they don't 'see' Finlenia because even a deep analysis of the character will be received as attempt to "invalidate a representation"! One of them also thinks Malenia ships don't work period because it's hard to let romantic feelings bloom under so much physical and mental illness, speaking from perspective of a person with physical disabilities and severe depression themselves! Also a very valid perspective! Again, do we then want to argue about whose projected experiences "deserve" validation and whose don't? The hell we do :/

In the end of the day 1) fandom is not a majority rule and thus they can't just "collectively decide" how to interpret canon that IS left open to different interpretations, especially using problems like bigotry as an excuse or even weaponizing their identities. What will happen if a lesbian saying the heretics that don't ship Finlenia are all homophobic meets a lesbian that also doesn't ship it? I don't wanna know. 2) culture of reactive paranoia is bad, let's NOT become Yharnam Huntsmen

[fleshofmensis]

!! a continuation of my previous post on elden-soulsborne osts

gonna start with bloodborne w this because I LOVE THE BLOODBORNE OST WITH ALL OF MY HEART oooooowee

so the OPENING VISUAL/TRAILER OH MY GOD. the vocals just bring me to such emotion and just really dives you into the land of yharnam so well and the variations between the tracks bloodborne/the night unfurls/omen ughhhh AND I KNOW. they may SOUND the same but they all have their own unique vibe in my opinion. the night unfurls is very very vocal and sort of melancholic, bloodborne is orchestral and aggressive and gives that rush of continuously dying to a boss and then finally winning and getting that 'prey slaughtered' pop up AND OMEN. OH MY GOD I LOOOOVE OMEN, it's the one in the trailer and LAWWDDD what a thing to hear when getting introduced to a game

a maybe lesser enjoyed theme i really like is lullaby for mergo, which is such a lore steeped song for a boss fight because it's referring to queen yharnams child, the one from oedon (assumedly) i just enjoy it's little music box feel and sound

next is moon presence.. do i even need to say anything? THE FEELING FROM THIS SONG. THE IDEA OF BRUSHING WITH THE "DIVINE" the frantic sound of it, in a way attempting to describe what the moon presence is. an indescribable eldritch thing being put into song. it's sort of anxiety inducing in its scratchiness and thundering tones. and nearing the end it gets softer and there's a slight twinkling and then the final crescendo as the hunter begins his ascendance to becoming the next great one. LORDDD

i'm gonna talk about old hunters songs now because how could i not??? — AND HOW COULD I NOT START WITH LUDWIG??? the transitional sounds from accursed/holy blade .. accursed representing his foulness, his fall from grace and becoming the thing he swore to hunt and destroy. the darker tones and vocals. the foulness of being a beast in his appearance. the switching from accursed to holy blade slightly sounding like a hymn or a prayer in correspondence to his appearance slightly changing. there's now a clarity and gallantry to the music, as if ludwig has regained some of himself even though he's still foul and accursed as ever

lady maria — to me, this song really gives you that peek into maria and her story. the class and elegance of the first half, the maintaining of her composure in her defense of the tower, the area and the secrets beyond. around the 1:18/20 mark there's a descent and an added aggression. i saw this really interesting take on marias theme as like ph1; lady maria of the astral tower ph2; lady maria of cainhurst ph3; lady maria the vileblood. and the song visualizing her and her background and using everything in her ability to stop the hunter from discovering kos etc because she failed previously and to most, pretty much cascaded the entirety of the games events

tbc!!! elden ring next and feel free to ask whatever about any of the songs here or some you're interested in (if u want lol)

[undefeatablesin]

This blog is coming up to its 200 follower milestone very soon! ❤️ I really don't have words to say how much I appreciate everyone who decided to join me and to stick with me on this little art journey I'm on. Obviously, I can't follow every individual back or go around thanking every individual blog for the kind and funny messages they leave in the tags/reblogs etc. (though I promise I read and cherish every single one!)

But one thing I can do (kind of lol) is draw! 🎨 So, how would y'all like it if I opened up sketch requests for bb ocs and for characters from my main fandoms in general once we hit 200? For everyone that follows me, not just mutuals, for a couple weeks depending on interest lmao. Naturally I'll put it in my pinned post if/when they're open and when the event is over. Y'know, just a little something to allow me to say thank you to everyone in a tangible way.

[lafortis]

any upcoming games you're looking forward to?

I do not know what games are coming out Imma keep it real with u chief. I keep up with like, two studios, fromsoft and paradox interactive. I am inherently hype for the next fromsoft title, presumably in 2-3 yrs like regular degular now that they're less fucked by COVID and don't need to make a game 4x the size of anything they've ever made (I pray their next project is reasonably scaled back in scope, like say, sekiro sequel, or 👀👀👀BLOODBORNE👀👀👀, they need the break), and paradox I view each release with deep seated dread, knowing I'll buy their shit anyway sadly. Other than that I think I've got about zero hype for literally anything the games industry could offer me at this point in my life. Oh silksong obviously but that's blatantly not coming out so it's not worth mentioning

[getranched]

coulddddd we have a rundown of the habitants of the ranch?

Well I'm not sure about every single being who makes this (cosmic nightmare) house a home

But I'm sure we can give you a good rundown!(also PSA this account does deal with unreality so if that kind of thing messes with you be careful)

First up is the Ranch itself! A mimic in its final stage of life! They normally become dungeons or haunted houses but this lovely guy had the (mis)fortune to become a familiar with Moon in around the 1700's I'm pretty sure. And as a fully adult mimic it spawns thousands of baby mimics which end up replacing our furniture and the like.

EREN INTERJECTION i’m eren, OR RIJU, a shapeshifter. i just live here idk. i have a friend who’s a burmese python but he doenst live here. uhmm yeah idk i just eat the food in the fridge and sometimes i’ll throw bits of my fresh kills in there too. idk uhmm yeah im friends w everyone here except for like. FD maybe?? but he doesnt live here i dont think….

tbh i dont really keep up with who comes in and who doesnt HAHA im usually in my room playing with bones or reading when im here at the ranch

Twi interjection! I'm Twilight (or just Marth) i'm just kind of here, and if i'm not, i'm tending to my acnh island Tabantha. (Also this account is being shared between 15 or less people, some are more active than others and their individual accounts are being followed by this one)

Is it really an interjection if everybody’s doing it when nobody else is typing? Who knows! I’m Vivian, local semi-moth humanoid and god/dess of the Lost and the Traveling on occasion. Unlike most local chumps deities, I am a multiversal being, which means I am THE deus ex machina in any given situation, and like to Borrow from other universes. cough cough: ner beskar’gam. Also, I have a sapient AI living in “my” spaceship (which is legally his, don’t tell xem), just for funsies

This is Sky now. I'm not really supposed to be in this galaxy, I crash landed in the front yard on one of my spaceships. I tried apologizing to the landlord but we ended up throwing hands, not my fault. Eventually I stayed at the Ranch tho. Hobbies: leading prison breaks, motorcycle rides, eating lightbulbs for the sake of trolling, antagonizing gods, blasting my friends into space. Ended up adopting a demon cat guy. (Vivian note: this is not the catboy incubus. This is a different demon cat guy) (Sky note: Yeah, my boy is the cat butler, the other catboy is a pain in my ass) (Vivian again: and a pleasure in mine)

This is Luna! I am the goddess of horses and all things related. I spend most of my time as a horse (sometimes a centaur) AND I AM NOT A CHUMP VIVI! anyway I used to run an empire ages ago before it was destroyed, and I got sealed away. I have Twi to thank for breaking my seal! Nowadays I'm restarting my cult (its horse girls mostly rn) and fixing horse races. If you ever see a horse say hello it might be me.

Heyo! I'm saria, local milf. I have deer antlers because some grass god decided it'd be cool to mix the local humans with deer. (to be fair, he was right.) I'm mostly human, though. I stream bloodborne because that game reminds me of my found family and my village. I'm still piecing together what happened to my people, but for now I bake, garden, and play my silly little video game. catch me having tea with a succubus and a doll on tuesdays and shopping with a horse on thursdays.

Hi! I'm Wild! I was Moons first kid after my dog and I accidently ended up in this world, escaped jail, and hid in her man eating garden. Most of the time, I sail the seas of my home world and have the best adventures with the greatest pirate crew u could ever imagine. But, I do come visit home from time to time, too, thanks to my crystal that lets me travel through time and space. Somebody's gotta bedazzle FD's tools and give Moon a headache, ya kno?

Yormp here! I’m not totally sure who I am, I’m working on it. Moon says I’m a creature of my own choice, but I’m not too sure about that. Before I was an omen of war, and my friends called themselves pestilence, conquest, and death. Then I died, some time passed, I don’t remember it all, got cursed to be an otter for a bit, and met Moon. Now? I’m just going to college. Learning a little. If I really do get to choose, I think I’ll choose not to be War reborn this time.

Oh… and uhh. Goose.

Hmmm? OH it's my turn! Hey hey hey! I am (the) Sun Sun Sun and when you're with me everything is fun fun fun!. I'm Moon's counter part. We share a body, we share a mind, we are the same person, but not quite! Much like Moon I am also a clown, but instead of resembling a porcelain doll I have the body of a goat (sorta)! You can think of me as Moon's opposite! We may not agree on much, but we do hold our family very dear to us! I'm also referred to as a father and much like Moon, I don't mind what I'm called! Speaking of Moon, she wants her turn to speak now!

Hello, dearest traveler,

It seems you have found our home. I'm (the) Moon. I am the one that eats many gods in this world. But do not worry, it is strictly business. As of this moment, I have taken the form of a porcelain clown. This body was provided to me by a dear friend. I am also referred to as the father of many Ranch residents. Though I am called a father, and might be referred to as Mr. Vilon, I do not care much for what I am referred to as. Most use she/her.

[Psst. Moon. Don't forget to tell them some house rules!]

Ah yes... While you are here traveler, be sure keep some things in mind:

- Mind your teeth and your belongings, else they might be stolen

- Remember to keep your feet off the grass. The plants get hungry after a certain time.

- Not everything is what it seems. I'm sure you will become familiar with our mimics both big and small.

- Do not assume a door, hallway, or stairwell will take you to the same place twice.

- The void will always listen to your troubles.

- Do not pet the cats. Some are... not the kind that you want the attention of. Or maybe they are. That's up to you.

- And most importantly, remember, that sometimes, it is better to stay lost than to be found.

Enjoy your visit,

The Vilons
