PAGLUIB

way back in like. march?? I took a stab at writing some kind of kabitserye type of story but it was a mess: it kept veering off into murder mystery drama territory because I was reading a lot of murder mystery novels around then and it Wasn't Good because I hadn't tried writing mysteries, let alone murder mysteries, before lmao

I did write a handful of short mystery stories since then, so next year I might take a stab at this idea again now that I'm no longer jumping head first into a genre pool I don't know how to swim in :)

Seawatt’s whole plan is actually so stupid if you think about it for longer than 2 seconds i love him

[doubletroubletag]

i got almost all the next month's updates sketched! i'm not doing the last one simply because i am feeling the burn out of composing these pages. (each have at least 6 pages, a good amount have the max 12!)

that said, these are all just sketched. i want to do it in this order: backgrounds -> lineart -> transcript. i got other projects i need to work on (winning hat and NightFell) so I can't really guarantee when Tag will start to update again.

"The making of ST5 documentary" oh so you mean Finn, Noah, Winona, David, Charlie, Shawn Levy, and the Duffer brothers' commentary on Byler, how long they've known about it, how they used acting and direction to create the slowburn relationship, and the cultural impact they believe it will have

The End Times featuring @lilybug-02 's Toasty

Some context and process showcase stuff under the cut.

There is a lot of text.

Ok so Outer Wilds, one of my favorite games ever. I wanted to draw something for it for a while now. With brittle hollow being my favorite planet of the solar system it felt right having it take up most of the image. I added giant's deep because it's simply iconic and you can kinda see it from anywhere during the whole game. And Timber Hearth because it just felt right having it in the picture. Also the supernova is there because it looks cool.

Toasty

why is Toasty experiencing the Horrors?

yeah um so about that. I started working on this image back in september (i don't know why it took me so long to finish it i worked on it most of the time [you do not want to see the state of the half bread chaos fanart i've been making for like 2.5 years]).

During that time when i was sketching it, lilybug was posting a lot about their OC toasty. Now i didn't really feel like drawing the hatchling at the time and was also heavily sleep deprived so i drew them, mainly for fun. They were on my mind and i wanted to have a character in the middle of the image. Now i planned to replace them with something more appropriate eventually.

Now why did i not do that? To be frank i tried. Quite a few times actually. I tried to replace them with the hatchling, the spaceship, i also tried to put my own character there instead, tried it with the spot being empty (that looked awful), put a symbol of the eye there, silhouette of the far away stranger, ... just over all tried a bunch of things but... none of them looked right.

I kept returning to the sketch of toasty and they always looked the most... present(?) in the picture. None of the other things looked that bad but Toasty just felt correct. Even tho they were "kinda" out of place. I finally decided to color and shade them and they just looked... great. So i kept them there. Even though they should have never been there.

TLDR: they were a placeholder that i tried to replace a bunch of times, and after failing i decided to keep them in the image.

Alright some closing thoughts.

Outer Wilds is a game that means a lot to me as it does to many other people. I could say the whole spiel about how much you shouldn't look up anything about it whilst insisting that you have to play it. But i don't want to do that. I played Outer Wilds when i was going through a bunch of stuff. And during my fractured play through of it, it didn't make all of it disappear or change my world view so much i that i finally stopped... having "dreams". What it managed to do is... calm me down. It was the first time in so long i felt at least partially content with... everything. I am still dealing with all the stuff I was going through, more than ever. But, i am a little bit calmer during it. At least for now.

You don't have to play outer wilds. But i think you would like it.

I want to thank Alex, Kelsey, Andrew and everyone else that worked on Outer Wilds. You all made a very special game that has done what no one else could.

Anyway here are some pictures from the process.

Alright, Byee [Ōō]/

RESIDENT EVIL 4 (2023)

...To become one with us.

[riddlesnap]

Just rambling on with some sunday thoughts, don't mind me! ~

Okay, so I know I've gone on before about this particular Eddie being asexual but it's easier to say he's one of those asexuals that is capable of having sex in the right situation (and more importantly, with the right person) - just that, well, he doesn't really feel much in the way of sexual attraction towards other people unless there is something going on? For example, you can put the world's hottest supermodel before Edward and. He won't feel anything for them, not knowing who they are and would probably feel rather turned off about the whole thing because ew. Mentally though, Eddie can really catch a crush, especially if the person in question is smart or has some other form of intelligence. He's prone to flights of fantasy and can become heavily invested in somebody purely because he saw them a particular way, even if that isn't really who they are, but in a sexual way? Rare. Very, very rare, but not impossible. He'd probably imagine it rather than dare act on his fantasies, content to let things play out in his mind as he observes them going about their daily schedule, wondering if the real thing would ever hold up to his very vivid and powerful imagination. It's less about the other person and more about what he's thinking in the moment, how he feels about the person involved and so on. Sex isn't important to him like it is to most other people but if somebody he was very interested in wanted it? There's a chance they could convince him, especially if they've had a good relationship for a long time. That being said, it's gonna be a long and hard road because Edward is fundamentally a narcissist at his core and can be downright nasty at times. He's fickle, caring more about serving his own ego and interests than he is about being a good partner and prospective mate to another and it's more likely that sex would be a bargaining chip, a way to keep control in a relationship he's invested in and it just wouldn't be a pleasant experience for either party involved, please find somebody else.

Trying to motivate myself to work on Volatile but I can barely get myself to go on my pc at the moment.

for anyone curious, in the script notes I put "expression of autistic frustration." for the panel concepts.
