tmaynt day 7 !!!! favorite turtle gadget

i dunno if this is a popular one but i really love the grappling harnesses from 2012!! i fell in love with them when it was introduced in the insecta trifecta ep in season 4, i looooove the way that whole fight scene was choreographed. it was so smooth and fluid it was just awesome! plus they look cool with the fingerless gloves and bands on their arms n thighs.... just overall Very Cool

ranking games ive played in 2023:

hi! its that time of the year where i think back on the games and shows ive done this year and rank them based on personal enjoyment :-) i didnt play a lot of games this year, since i played all of them (ok all but one of them) for longer than usual.

and, as always, thank u gifmakers for making the gifs im including here and for all the work u do 💛

7. death end re;quest (2019)

bad game. couldnt finish it. what the back of the box said is not even close to the game’s actual vibe. combat system seems interesting but the rest of the story and characters and writing and design and visuals suck so bad it tanks the whole thing.

6. guilty gear xx ^ core plus r (2012)

…ive learned i just dont enjoy playing fighting games this year. i tried so hard. i want to like them. i just dont love them enough to get thru all of the stories in this game. its fun enough to get to learn all the characters, but needing to play so many of them so well to get it all…puts this game near the bottom of the list. this is the first game in my life ive ever watched someone else do a playthrough of, because i just didnt enjoy playing it enough to do it myself

5. guilty gear strive (2021)

as mentioned i dont love fighting games HOWEVER this one ranks significantly higher because i like the training modes where you complete specific challenges, and the game's visual appealing enough to make up for how bad i am at it.

4. ys ix: monstrum nox (2021)

ive decided to make it it december tradition to play an ys game, after playing ys viii last year. i’m still not finished it (in chapter 6 at time of writing) but it’s really fun! navigating the city with each character’s powers is super fun, and as with the last game i really enjoy the combat system. theres a few twists in the game i’m REALLY excited to figure out, and the cast of characters has charmed me enough to rank this number 4

3. tales of arise: beyond the dawn (2023)

i went back and replayed the main game in preparation for the DLC, so i put about 170 hours into this this year. both the main game and the DLC have some story issues, but the DLC does a better job of getting its points across. if it werent for how much i love the top games in this list, this would be first — i'm a total sucker for the tales games, and the gameplay in this one is so fun (im a law main) that i could keep playing this game over and over again. i also really like what the DLC did with the alphen/shionne storyline, and i think nazamil is a very interesting and well-portrayed character.

2. octopath traveler ii (2023)

octopath my beloved… i was already destined to love this since the first game is one of my all time favourites, but the sequel improved on it in so many ways. the crossed path stories, the in-combat party banter, and the interaction the characters have is a huge improvement on the first. as always, its extremely fun to play, the environment is gorgeous, the characters are well written, and the soundtrack is genuinely the best game soundtrack i've ever heard (along with the first octopath's soundtrack).

1. fire emblem: three houses (2019) and fire emblem warriors: three hopes (2022)

these two get to tie because theyre functionally the same game to me, since i value the characters and story more than the gameplay. these games have spoiled me for other games what the fuck. the huge cast of well done characters all with unique skills and gameplay elements. the different versions of the story based on your house. the replayability. i played each of these THREE TIMES THROUGH this year.

H, L, R, Y

H: How would you describe your style?

Terrible. im a literary analyst / researcher at heart and almost all of my experience writing closed works (see: not RP) is writing argumentative essays. i am extremely good at that. unfortunately my prose is very succinct and dry and has no depth and flavor whatsoever. it is a nigh-constant struggle for me to make my writing more rich and detailed and compelling.

so stylistically my writing is kind of ass but at least im pretty decent at like. Grammar and character voice. I wont win any awards but im not terrible.

L: What's the weirdest AU you've ever come up with?

AU where i self-insert myself into the text in yotsuba arc and i find Light yagami on the street and beat the shit out of him and steal his watch. Eat shit sucker. This is real i joked about this au a lot in like 2018.

Anyway though. i dont know most of my AUs are just canon divergence. i have a few crossover AUs that maybe wouldnt be peoples first pic (death note drama characters in the mob psycho 100 universe. death note drama characters in the pandora hearts universe.) but i think generally i dont push the envelope wrt AU ideas

Wait sorry i was wrong my weirdest au is Grindr Note because it’s named Grindr Note.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

in 2012 i was pretty heavily obsessed w/ a particular author who is. A real published author but at the time was mostly known for writing Homestuck fanfic. the prose was really good and definitely had a lasting impact on me but i was a 15 y/o reading fic about 13 y/os that bordered on explicit penned by a grown ass woman so like. Yikes. 

On a brighter note i really was a fan of the Pacific Rim fanfics by cleanwriteroom (namely designations congruent with things and stuff in that ‘verse, but stuff like the blue guitar and lightcap as list made me go bananas too). they all got taken down years ago but you can still find the PDFs floating around here and there.

there are a few more here and there but like. No one who i read so Much of their content. though there are a few fanfic authors for dif fandoms where their work influenced, for instance, how i write specific characters but that’s less of an influence upon my style and taste as a whole. Also this isnt even touching my haphazard taste in actual published work.

Y: A character you want to protect.

Honestly this is tough because on one hand i want the world for the characters i like but i keep writing extremely dour storylines for them. They can suffer but on my terms only. i want everyone to have a little hardship if it helps them grow and develop. But i also hate gratuitious, exploitative violence and torture or like. Needless garbage for shock value. So. All of my favorite characters, to an extent? Lets just say drama near and call it a day

20 warriors questions

(note: these 20 questions are a tag made by butterflyidentity on youtube! even though i myself wasn’t tagged, i decided to answer these questions just so ya’ll don’t ask later :’) ) 

- how did you get into warriors? whooo boi, let’s go back to 2012, where i was obsessed with watching animations on youtube. i stumbled across  some rad cats fighting each other, then i got deeper into the fandom, spoiling myself even more, then i decided to buy in the books in norwegian but since the names were so badly translated (example, willowpelt is aquamarine in the norwegian books, do cats even know what an aquamarine is??) so i decided to purchase them on amazon in english! i’m currently on power of three, but i already know a lot of stuff. - favourite arc? out of all the three i have read (haven’t finished the third yet), definitely the first, original arc, the prophecies begin. everything’s really nice, tigerstar being the main villian of the first arc, us learning about all the clans and duties, it’s just amazing! imo the new prophecy is very boring, i mean, they’re on the go for 3 books, then they kinda get used to the territories and blah blah blah...

- favourite book? (excluding super editions, mangas, and novellas) forest of secrets!  so much stuff happens in that book, like silverstream dying, we find out who killed redtail, the battle with the rogues and tigerclaw getting exiled, i love it.

- favourite super edition, manga or novella? yellowfang’s secret!!

out of all the super editions, mangas and novellas i have (firestar’s quest, bluestar’s prophecy and the rise of scourge), yellowfang’s secret is definitely the best one. it’s probably because it’s set in a whole different clan. but when i first read the first chapters, i was enchanted! the description of the enviornrment (even though it was leafbare like 80% of the time) was amazing. it felt as if i was actually there, in shadowclan camp, and yellowfang’s exile broke my heart :’( 

- favourite clan? my fam riverclan (ironically i’m scared of swimming in rivers, oceans and lakes irl lmao)

- favourite character? MY GIRL YELLOWFANG!! i love her so much you have no idea, my lil grump (surprisingly i dislike jayfeather haha) <33 yellowfang will always be no. 1, but i also like russetfur, hollyleaf, tawnypelt, leopardstar,brackenfur, longtail and manyyyy more!

- least favourite character? foxheart. i DESPISE her. when reading yellowfang’s secret, she was probably the first character that i was really happy to see die and i just wanted to rip her guts out?? i mean gosh, she was the biggest bitch ever, getting under raggedstar’s paws 24/7, but i mean, he made foxheart deputy to make yellowfang jealous which is really bitchy too, but i don’t dislike raggedstar as much as foxheart, even though he was a dick sometimes. i also dislike spottedleaf, i mean jfc, firestar was wondering who to pick out of sandstorm and spottedleaf even though sandstorm was who he had kits with, and she stayed at his side every time, and spottedleaf was just a “childhood crush” of his, was it even ever mentioned in into the wild that he really liked her?? he just kinda said “goodbye my sweet spottedleaf” when she died, even though im pretty sure it never mentioned how he felt about her? correct me if i’m wrong, i still hate spottedleaf though, mooning over firestar from starclan.

- most aesthetically pleasing cat? mmm, goldenflower, tawnypelt and heatherstar i suppose! when it comes to goldenflower, i’m a sucker for golden tabby she-cats (i also have a lil headcanon that she wears a small flower behind her ear ovo). tawnypelt, i loveeeee pale tortoiseshells!! she’s a beaut. lastly, heatherstar! if you haven’t read any of the super editions you’re more than likely confused about who this is. she was a windclan leader before tallstar! pinkish-gray cats sound really cute to me, and i just cant really describe how i like her design?? jayfeather’s also cool when it comes to his design i guess *shrug*.

- favourite leader? my boy sunstar! he was a really good leader, sadly, his leadership didn’t last long because of stupid pinestar who had to leave thunderclan and because of that sunstar had 1 less life :/ he was also a very good mentor to bluepaw/fur/star! he’s a goof that i love :’)

- favourite villian? bad boy brokenstar. all the things he did, training kits under 6 moons to become apprentices, drive out the elders from camp into the forest, kill with no hesitation, yet i still like him. he’s great for some reason! 

- favourite medicine cat? i’d say yellowfang, but since she’s already my favourite character out of all, i’ll go with cinderpelt or goosefeather. cinderpelt because she’s also another goof, with a sad backstory (her leg), yet she’s still okay with it. goosefeather on the other hand, he’s another grump that i like! i have spoiled myself a lot already on goosefeather’s curse, and i’m guessing that he received alotta prophecies at once (idontreallyknow)? he already knew that tigerkit would grow up to be the danger of the forest even when he wasnt even an apprentice.  - overrated character? oh gee... scourge. that edgelord is overrated as heckk. i’m not the biggest fan of him, but i don’t hate him. i guess jayfeather is also overrated. some people even refer to him as “jaybae” which is um, bizarre i suppose.

- underrated character? good ol’ runningwind. he’s a great character, not to mention he’s actually mousefur’s brother, which i totally forgot about. tbh his death was kind of sad :/ STILL, i demand more fanart of runningwind >:(

- favourite minor character? thrushpelt, rosetail and brackenfur. they don’t get all the love they deserve which is really sad?? rosetail’s death was only mentioned like ONE time in into the wild, which sucks!! thrushpelt got rejected by bluefur, which is kinda sad, but he still promised her to keep her kits safe even though they weren’t his, which is very nice of him to stay strong even after getting rejected. brackenfur’s just someone who i liked from the beginning. he always stayed at his sister’s side (brackenfur & cinderpelt are one of my favourite silbings, only with ashfur and ferncloud in the front!).

- favourite pairing? either brightheart and cloudtail, or firestar and sandstorm. both pairings are cute as heck, even though both the toms kinda ignored their mate at some point (cloudtail & daisy and firestar & spottedleaf)

- least favourite pairing? leafpool and crowfeather. honestly it’s as if the erins just added it to make leafpool a more “interesting” character?? they chill out together away from the clans for like less than a moon, then leafpool gets back, few moons later, poof! kits! it’s a really bad “couple” ugh

- favourite friendship? good ol’ fireheart and greystripe! it’s like they were destined to be bffs, or bluestar maybe got a prophecy to send out graypaw to spy on rusty?? nah jk i’m not that stupid. but those two before power of three would do anything for each other. love em. 

- favourite moment? the daylight gathering in the sight! that was probably the best thing in the book. even though it was short, it was really snazzy! i loved the fight between heatherpaw and hollypaw, and the leaders announcing the “winners”! thanks squirrelflight, love ya gal *smooch* i also love the moment where hollypaw tells brook that she no longer wants to be a medicine cat apprentice, and brook’s like “go ahead, tell leafpool, it’s okay!” i love both of them so much hhhngh

- most tragic death? okay, not gonna lie, i cried for about 2-3 hours straight after yellowfang’s death. buuuut i gotta admit, snowfur and moonflower’s deaths were also pretty sad, except i only cried at moonflower’s death out of those two. hawkheart was pretty serious about keeping windclan’s herbs safe tbh.. OKAY BUT LET’S NOT FORGET SWEETPAW. she was the sweetest (no pun intended) :(

- favourite battle/fight scene? the hawkfrost and brambleclaw one in sunset was pretty intense, though i probably like the bloodclan battle the most even though whitestorm died then :(. it was so intense like omg?? 

so there!! finally!! 20 questions answered! this took me probably an hour oops, i just thought over my answers a lot. so yeah, credit goes to butterflyidentity for making these questions and making it possible for me and many others to answer them! i doubt anyone will read this, but w/e, i still had fun writing the answers :’)

How did you get the idea of heirs of the crown?

Oh-uh.... this is a (kinda) long story, so buckle up my kids:

we write the year 2012, little, 16 y/o Inky got tentatively curious about yaoi and drew some (in her eyes very juicy bc she was also unaware of her bisexuality) dudes who were undressing and about to kiss. she called the whole thing “The Prince and His Soldier I + II”

roughly 4 years later, she was bored, looking thru old stuff to redraw and then found these very old, rather crappy drawings and started redrawing one of them. during the drawing process, she thought “no short hair is boring, also let’s make the prince younger how about....” so this is basically how Endres’ and Caspar’s character designs developed. (Caspar actually didn’t change at all btu WHO CARES RITE)

at that time I also was very much into Game of Thrones (teh TV series obvsly), then there also was a fantasy story concept I had for years and didn’t really get onto it for quite some time, plus I’m a sucker for COSTUMES. the fantasy story i once started writing when i was liek, 15, didnt really play into anything at all, but i just like fantasy. (oh also lotr/the hobbit??? downton abbey??? jane austen?? that’s what i love also the bbc musketeers - yes i love good costumes)

howEVER, I was thinking about that prince and his soldier and what’s their actual environment and shit like that, their past, how they got to know each other and all that jazz. everything became more fleshed out. and i then decided, nope, there won’t be any magic at all.

they got names, Endres got a sister because it felt right, they got their first character outlines from when they were 15/12/10, and i was really pumped at that time. I wanted to make a comic, just for fun, just to give my life something meaningful as it was a shitty time i went through. i knew myself and how i always ended up ditching projects, but at some point i was like “just fucking do it, it’s what you want atm!” so i did.

the rest basically came while drawing each page. i knew it wasnt like a real country, but magic seemed too easy. i wanted a lot of drama and intrigues and all this bc that’s what royals are for, but also with light-hearted moments because life isn’t always harsh. GoT was a big inspiration on the drama and world-building part, and then somehow Mae stole the show.

but yeah if u want it short, it only happened bc i thought two random characters looked hot together.

//ask me questions bc im drunk and bored.
