Owlcatober: Day 23 - Alternate Universe
This is. My hubris. This got out of hand. The original idea was much smaller. Now it is a testament to how I will make AUs of all my OCs. The only overlap between these three images (aside from Pathfinder) is Cerdinen, my own setting.
Vio - Pathfinder, Cerdinen, Exalted, Modern AU Aurien - Pathfinder, Deadlands, Cerdinen, Tyranny Confessor - Rogue Trader, Cerdinen, Pathfinder, VtM
#owlcatober 2024#my art#oc stuff#owlcatposting#maybe Confessor's shouldn't be mirrored#it's sort of a reflection I guess#via camera#Was so tired last night I didn’t even tag OCs#vio miette#aurien florence#confessor von valancius

ive been thinking about the red string superstition recently and also sol bufo always and it makes me sick how uncannily caldwell tanner has made sol to perfectly target me personally
(+ cropped versions !)
#naddpod#ba2mia#ba2umia#solum bufo#swag daniels#calliope petrichor#calder kilde#alexandrite#posts by me dot com#okay..... SECRET TAGS RAMBLE!#so basically this superstition is like ... i think a chinese/buddhist/taoist superstition?#ive taken some creative liberties with it... but its mostly accurate to how its been told to me?#but of course theres lots of variations! some more abt bad luck; some say to tie it on the doorknob#etc etc ... lots a variations#i was also rlly interested in the .... weird illogic? of the thing?#like the red attracts and repels spirits at the same time#so thats something i was thinking about with too. red is assocuated with both swag and alexandrite. which to me was kinda reflecting like#i think what murph said . swags place in the wild is in a way. an extension of what he learned from the network#mothership s inextractivle from sol and swags lives. they will always be held doen by it. thats the spirit that will follow them forever#that they choose to hold on too! as much pain as it brought ... some of the experience was worth it#and anyway. theres somethingwrong w me that the minute someone brought up this superstition my brain went#'ohhh just like sol!' < needs to touch grass moment#but i CANT BELIEVE. CALDWELL DID THE RED STRING. AND ITS LITERALLY A MOURNING RITUAL#caldwell keeps accodentally makig that frog ASIAN. to MEEEE!!!!!!#but. anyway. idk. ive always hced sol kept the piece of yarn and it makes me kinda .... what if y let the malicious spirits follow you.#and haunt you. what if its the closest you can get to keeping the person still around#and sol and swag obviously have so much about homes .... so!#(ok. weve reached the pt where maybe nobodys reading? so confession is this is sort of a well. ive just been doodling this comic everyday#after a wake. and it was sort of inspired after realising i was even a bit sad about it maybe. so. idk its about sol but also?#i guess the projection doesnt end at him being asian. hehe. is what i mean. LOL. okay secret tags over . buried lore. dont look here folks)

Hey I know the common representation of monster-y post apocalypse Jon is him having lots of extra eyes but. Consider.
After the sky splits open, Jon doesn't have physical eyes anymore. He doesn't needs them. His Eyes are the Watcher's, and they See all from where they stand at the top of the Panopticon.
#and by not having eyes anymore i mean Not having any eyes#not blind or blank or glassy eyes#just. nothing. there is just plain skin where there should be eyes#not even a split or something where the eyelid should be#or maybe empty sockets ? that would be cool too#i think the implications of that would be neat#max talks#tma#the magnus archives#blorbo posting#jon sims#jonathan sims#tma s5#monster jon#<i guess its a monster design of sorts. or rather a reflection on other monster designs

Netflix needs to stop promoting ST as a teen show for season 5
#I remember seeing people all angry because s4 leant into the horror more#sir it has always been a horror/sci fi show#the horror is what makes the character-driven element so layered and compelling imo#I guess they advertise based on what garners they widest interest#(anyone remember what s3 promo season was like? sort of like that)#but I want them to go all out with s5#the way they originally wanted the show to go#and for promo to reflect that#this is worded so poorly sorry#but it was always supposed to be directed toward older audiences and they were surprised to see the young audience it garnered too#stranger things#byler#<- target audience#st5 speculation#I’m not saying teens can’t watch and enjoy it#because tons of teens - my younger self included - love horror and can appreciate that element#but it’s not a teen drama show and some people treat it like it is#and act like there’s nothing to analyse or dig deeper into

ok we need an e/se asian reader in the taskforce. the first time they get offered tea from price, thinking that it’s hong cha . ends up spitting it out after they take the first sip and realise it’s fucking earl grey . who teaches them torture methods that were simply just what their parents did to them as a kid . who is generally pretty nice, but can scare the living shit out of new recruits if they have to (once again, asian parent skill) . who leans over to price and discreetly asks ‘is that just a white people thing ?” whenever ghost and soap are on their shit .
just them being silly would be funny as fuck should out to all writers who do asian!readers we love you out here
(some of tags r important, please check them)
#written from a chi/malay perspective so may not be accurate to all east or se asian cultures#let’s be real they would make feisty recruits kneel on hard sand and shells for 40 mins if they messed up#that punishment FUCKED my knees as a kid istg#also sorry if this sounds biased against white people it’s really not#more based of how my international student friends sometimes ask ‘is this how your people act’ whenever they see stupid shi go on#sort of just a reflection of racism in asian culture as well i guess ??#cod modern warfare#cod mw2#cod mw3#cod x reader#cod fanfic#john price#captain john price#captain price#john price x reader#price x reader#price cod#captian price#simon ghost riley#simon riley x reader#simon ghost riley x reader#simon ghost x reader#simon riley#john soap mactavish#johnny mctavish x reader#soap cod#soap x reader#soap x you

Managers
#lobcorp#lobotomy corporation#limbus company#x lobcorp#dante lcb#digital#something about how the gameplay mechanics in each game end up reflecting the respective management styles#in lobcorp you can rewind to the mem.repo. as many times as you like#so you often end up ruthless about even the lives of your favorite agents when you're trying to do missions or cores especially.#the canon battle strategy in limbus is to just throw the sinners at a problem and keep reviving them until they figure out what works#but dante has to share their pain every time and doesn't want to risk any sort of permanent deaths because they care about the sinners.#different approaches to the idea of sacrificing others i guess is the main difference

which character/s in colorquest is currently getting a redesign?
Gary is still getting tweaked here and there, it's a slow and on-going process.
While I don't plan on changing much else about him, recently I've decided to give Chickenstab's host a tail. (See: my latest doodle page from a handful of days ago)
I've been debating changing Hannah's initial outfit lately as well. She's from a part of Stolla that is much warmer year-round, but having moved much higher up, starting the story in mid-late October, it's rather chilly for her to be wearing thin shorts, flip-flops and a tank top. But, I've not thought too much into exactly what this new outfit would be, and I'd still hold on to this outfit for a different, warmer part of the story because I love it too much to ever fully part ways with it.
I've been fiddling with April's bangs lately too. I don't have a picture on hand at the moment but I'll try to tack it onto this post later when I do, but I've always been a little iffy about her bangs. Especially with Elliot's being similar, I feel like the bang style fits his hair more than it fits April.
Nobody has gotten a huge overhaul design change yet, but I definitely feel something bubbling within me to give a huge makeover to a character or two. I just have to figure out if there's a design I'm not happy with that I've just been suppressing. Because I tend to do that from time to time lol.
#brambleramble#trying to reflect on my thoughts right now in the tags#*is* there someones design ive never been huge about but just pushed on with anyway?#maggies host has always been kind of boring for me to draw i guess. i feel like i gotta push myself to draw it#but in some aspects its still cute#so idk. bluh!!!#much to think about#honestly im also open to input on character designs if anybody ever has suggestions#gentle input. i am not in the head space for harsh critiques on their designs atm SBFHFBSBS#honestly i wanna get in touch with the person who drew samantha in a striped sweater#because id like to try drawing that out myself because im sort of in love with it.#but I don't want to do anything without talking to them first about it

i love it when comedians make media that is not strictly A Comedy. music, dramas, podcasts, whatever. they have such a way with words and the comedy bleeds into whatever they make. It's my favourite thing ever.
please gimme your faves, i want to know more writers like this
#writing#comedy#for me its bo burnham richard gadd ricky gervais#pretty sure theres more but i cant recall now#i think its probably the fact that they're (mostly referring to stand up comedians) pull from their own life when writing more than usual#they have to sort of make it more interesting than it actually is#idk just guessing#i guess i just really love fiction that is very obviously reflective of the authors life#when they dont try to inject some specific idea or moral into it and just put their real self into it#i just love how comedians tell stories man i love funny shit#but the funniest things ive seen were never COMEDIES yknow??? just people with good storytelling skills

Kathony fans are so whiny and disrespectful. Please understand that this season is about BENOPHIE, not about your stupid dusty ass couple who can't act. Stop whining about Simone not being in season 4 and stealing Yerin's limelight. We remember what yall did to India and will never forget!
ok?
#I guess i’m being lumped into a group but i dont think ive done anything to warrant a message like this#tbh I don’t think anyone should get messages like this but hey ho#1. I’m excited for Ben and Sophie’s story#2. we don’t know if Simone’s not actually coming back#3. honestly I don’t care that much I don’t think they e treated her or Kate well#4. if you’re sending these sort of messages or worse to strangers on the internet about a tv show you might need to do some self reflecting#and maybe find a better outlet for those big feelings#this is why I don’t come on here so often anymore :/

i think growing up i fantasized a lot about being loved and adored but i think for me it is getting to love and adore people that's infinitely more exciting and interesting
#other people are really interesting!#seeing myself reflected back in other people's love for me is a lot less interesting and surprising like i've seen enough of that guy#feeling very anti-jo march 2019 i guess i care more to love than to be loved#it feels really tied to my progression with gender and sexuality stuff too tbh#my previous sort of insatiable desire to be liked/loved really fed into the urge to suppress parts of myself that i felt were unpalatable#now that i give myself unconditional love and acceptance that suppressive urge is gone#and i unexpectedly have a lot more energy and care to spend on other people#sorry for being corny#it's just nice i'm happy to be here#personal nonsense

so many people have said that as you approach your 30’s things start to fall into place but I don’t feel that at all. the closer I get the more it feels that everything is dissolving and falling apart
#it’s not all in a bad way!#I’m hoping Wendell Berry is right and it may in fact be that when we have lost our way our real journey begins#and there is something where in the dissolution of certainty God enters and directs us the way He wants us to go#and reminds us that we’re not strong and independent from Him but children in His hands#but I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss the certainty of 2018/22/younger Maria#I don’t quite know this new self#except for teaching everything is uncertain and I sort of daren’t pick up the colored pencils of life to do anything with them#I guess that’s what makes me really grateful for teaching#it’s firm and sure contact between me and the outside world#but everything else is just drifting and I am at sea!#anyways I am so sorry for putting personal self-reflection and analysis on your dash on this Easter morning#ewww ugh disgusting blegh I’m sorry#but trying to gain some clarity through words#Happy Easter! thank you for listening!! praying for you all

#persona 4#p4#persona 4 golden#p4g#hanamura yosuke#yosuke hanamura#just two instances that demonstrate how much of an overthinker and how pensive yosuke is?#he reflects constantly on the things he's said or done and maybe it's not immediate but he does come back days later to try and set it right#i guess its what bothered me when atlus also overlooked that with the camping trip or the pageant stuff because that sort of thoughtlessness#is not really him??#anyway in p4au yu basically says that yosuke is like that so thats what im willfully choosing to remember shh#or accept a headcanon in which he does so offscreen and we dont see it shhhh#he's good with his queue

zavijava info PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! PLEASEEEEE ZAVIJAVA COME HOME ... PLEASE .... umm um um ill tell you about umm . tma au im making for nastya if u tell me about her .PLEASE!!!!!!!
so she is definitely a star of some kind. i mean she is an angel but in that story in particular The Stars are kind of angels. like they’re otherworldly beings and they jus kinda hang out. cosmically. it’s a different dimension separated from the human one but like, obviously stars still exist for humans, they just don’t do anything crazy because the rules of the world dictate that their realities shouldn’t interact. angels can observe the other world from far up above yet they still exist on a different level. But tbh zavijava had never enjoyed the otherworldly ethereal whatever lifestyle—she just didn’t feel like she fit in there. she is a #1 humans fan though so she knows that’s where she’d fit in. so she does just that. she fits in perfectly :) and normally :) yay :)
#see the thing with zavijava is that there isn’t much info to share on her just on account of her being what she is#she is like a Concept trying to humanize and shove herself into a box#it’s like asking a rock what it likes. a rock can’t like anything it just sort of exists#that’s zavi babey#that’s not to say she doesn’t desperately try to like anything and everything . and that’s precisely what she ends up doing#she loves everything ! but she doesn’t really understand it or have a genuine connection to anything just by virtue of not being part of the#world. it’s like having a 6d being try to exist in a 3d space. very limiting. very incomprehensible for the 6d being#so her enjoyment of things (debatable if she’s even Capable of feeling Anytning) is artificial in a way#she is Uncanny Valley she reflects humans she does not really have an inner world or proper opinions of her own#so like she Does really love humans and everything about their world. but no specifics or a detailed understanding of them & it#as much as she likes humans she does not grasp their concepts like at all. Or only in a rudimentary manner#haze could explain to her why some people walk holding hands and she would be like Wow i guess that means we are married :) because we are#always together :) we can even hold hands too :) (she tries to hold his hand and he immediately starts seeing the hat man)#so yea. tldr. she’s more of a concept made character so there’s not a lot of Character Info on her#she’s more of a force#cramswering#idk if any of that is a coherent fucking explanation LOL she’s just kinda dream-like in that sense. idk#like yknow the way humans can’t truly comprehend eldritch beings or non euclidian shapes or whatever#the eldritch being in turn is not fated to understand da humans ….#& anyways for now the rest of the stars are aware that zavijava is Goofing but it’s not urgent enough to send someone after her. yetttt#tho hell dude 2 angels in the world would probably make it implode instantly so maybe that’s why they’re hesitant to do anything#also yea idk if this needs to be said but those angels arent tied to religion or humans really. they’re not guardian angels they’re just#Things that exist on a different Plane Of Existence. parallel to the human world#they watch over it but not in a guardian responsibility way#just sort of in a It’s Something To Look At way#ok yeah it’s 1:30am too by the way so i think that’s enough incomprehensible eldritch rambling#tell me about ur au boy

Those sonic prime gjinkas from my day out today
#luriart#sonic prime#shadow the hedgehog#nine the fox#sonic the hedgehog#i guess. only twice. btw trust me on this his outfit changes w his shoes & gloves#rusty rose#thorn rose#knuckles the dread#prim the bat#prim rouge#<- ??????????#nine again. my son boy. why do all the sonic kids i wish i could adopt happen to be the type that would tell people kys#rouge the bat#just the once.#rebel the bat#rebel rouge#anyway okay so a] this was a lot of fun. i dont know if ive made this clear in my other gjinka posts but sonic's shirt says sega normally#but it reflects what he's thinking other times. Only for the jokes no one else seems to notice that the shirt changes#b] oughgh i have this obsession w the hair of these characters and making it make sense for them? nine has darker hair than tails bc tails'#hair is a] sunbleached and b] he bleaches it closer to his roots than nine#nine's hair is also greasier & straighter. it has less volume#my og amy has thick braids w heart shaped beads at the end but why the shit would the eggcouncil let her have Heart Beads???#shes their sick as hell robot. so her hair's grown out into dreads on their own. she has sort of a side shave but like. in the way that one#side is metal. thorn doesn't have the time 2 braid her own hair so she has half of it cut short and the other half grown out in a small afr#you'll never believe this but dread has dreads#prim actually gets rouge's natural hair!!! my rouge wears a wig and all the pieces that frame her face are gelled on#but if rouge [like. usual rouge] took her wig off she'd have a short buzz underneath. and i was so excited to draw it so i did#rebel keeps the wig. knucks is there at the very bottom but he has real tight braids#anyway one thing i was wondering while i was drawing is where the fuck did prim get the black shirt under her leaves shirt

Hmm I believe I remember learning a few years ago that when one is asked to acknowledge that they’re impacted subconsciously by systemic racism/sexism/homophobia etc, or is told that they’re behaving in a way that’s bigoted/harmful, “no I’m not” is the wrong answer. So I think some of you should get less excited about saying that when Jewish people tell you you’re being antisemitic.
#guess what. Your views on Israel and Palestine ARE in fact going to be influenced by the fact that one of those nations is Jewish.#Just as it’ll be influenced by the fact that one of those nations is majority Muslim.#Just as your feelings about police shootings will be influenced by the majority of victims being Black or Indigenous.#Just as your feelings about EVERYTHING will be impacted by the social forces that have shaped you and colour your perception.#Antisemitism actually DOES colour the words of people insisting that targeting Israeli civilians was a legitimate act of resistance.#Just as racism and Islamophobia colour the words of Israeli politicians and soldiers who insist that wiping out Gaza is a fair price to pay#for wiping out Hamas.#it has been absolutely staggering to see person after person on this site#casually assert that rules of war do not apply when the civilians they protect are Israeli#and refuse to consider even the SLIGHTEST possibility that the ease with which that assertion came to them#might have SOMETHING to do with an internalized belief that — say —#there is no such thing as a Jewish civilian? that all Jews are inherently loyal to other Jews above any loyalty to justice?#that all Jewish people wield a sort of inherent power that makes them less vulnerable and therefore acceptable targets?#Of course you’re antisemitic. Yes. You. I am too. We all are. We live in an antisemitic society.#And if you‘ll acknowledge that societal racism and sexism and homophobia inform your subconscious beliefs#and you’ll critically reflect on THOSE#but you won’t afford antisemitism the same dignity#I think that probably says something about something.#Just to be clear this actually isn’t a post that says anything about my stance on Israel and Palestine#because my stance on that is actually extremely simple— FTR it’s ’apartheid and war crimes and forced displacement are bad things’#but this is about the internet’s RESPONSE#and the downright celebratory glee that I saw people have on oct 7th#and the fucking twisted excitement they’ve shown treating further Israeli war crimes like ammunition to justify it#and the simple truth that — while I’ll believe you MIGHT still have condoned it —#I do not believe any of you would have CELEBRATED the massacre of thousands of civilians in a period of minutes#if. those. civilians. had. not. been. Jews.#Rhi talks#palestine#antisemitism#Yeah and I’ll post this one too. Anon is still on. String me up.

sometimes i go a little nuts when a kindling of sorts comes on bc it is SUCH a good yarrow song. i just. ough. it was the first song i put on their playlist back in august and it's the gift that keeps on giving. the way the song starts out gentle and becomes something forceful with crescendo throughout the song paralleling yarrow's own arc and how he's driven to violence, the fire motif compounding on that too, the fact that violin is the main instrument, which grimm plays and how THAT reflects the ways the two of them are so intertwined. there is a REASON that song is the opener of their playlist and i need people to know
anyways i was abt to hit post until i remembered you can put youtube videos in posts so here it is actually
youtube
#GNAWING ON DRYWALL. TBH#two minute song with no lyrics and i'm frothing at the mouth over it#i'd like for my ocs to have theme songs but yarrow is kinda stuck between aubergine lady lamb and a kindling of sorts#bc a kindling of sorts is their whole arc and aubergine is more descriptive of a facet of that arc and their personality..?#also i'm just personally very attached to aubergine as a song for my own reasons so i like it when i can share it hehe#....guess i could have two theme songs too...? idk#my actual character playlists are constantly shifting bc i'm so finicky with them but tuning them to reflect the characters is part of#the fun for me. i would be writing essays if i could annotate my playlists probably hgklfhdlfhl#rambles#yarrow#playlists#Youtube
