I’m sorry!! I need to know… will you continue your relapse comic???

Yes 100 percent yes. If u have only seen it on tumblr check out my twitter (@emilyriordan5) where ive been updating more pages past what ive posted here. I had been doing a page a week or a page every 2 or 3 days depending on how impatient i got lol, but in the past few weeks i took a break from updating cus 1. Im visiting a friend in another country r now 2. My part time job upped my hours and i wanna prioritize that cus i need the scratch 3. The next few months im gonna be working very hard on some animation production projects to fix my portfolio up to apply for a fellowship (ill be posting the work i do on that btw) 4. The next few months I'll also probs be very preoccupied with figuring out some stuff for a medical thing. 5. Family stüff

Ill be posting more pages soon tho, i have some partially finished ones i intend to polish as im traveling back home. The comic itself is gonna be 60 pages or so (it may balloon out to like 70, i keep on finding stuff to add lol) script is complete, thumbnail are partially complete etc.

There's no way in hell im not finishing this, i love the script too much and i wanna share it in the optimal way as a lot of it is contingent on visual communication. If i ever do give up the ghost on this project id probably at least post the script so ppl would know where i was going with the comic, but my intention as of right now is to complete it at my own pace. I thank you for your patience and interest!

concepts for kurumi wendy gumshoe gabs because why the fresh fuck did they not give her any like actually hey kodaka can we talk-

(rain code spoilers btw)(also gab will stop sounding like a word to you)

im gonna try to structure a kurumi gumshoe gab set but i will not be writing the conversations out bc im sorry girl but 1. im not obsessed with her enough to basically write a fic and 2. i think the conversations would still be comparatively dull due to yuma's function being "the normal one" to contrast the rest of the kooky cast and kurumi's function as essentially the same thing but also as a love interest and exposition dropper. but i still wanna at least give a model of what her conversations would be like for funsies. I'll be mixing what i think would realistically happen if they gave her gabs and also what i think should happen. alright let's get started

first off, obviously they shouldnt be available until after ch 2. maybe in ch 3 you get a new gab page and yuma can start finding new gabs out in the overworld (what sort of gem color would she have??? jade? is that too close to vivia's emerald? i dont wanna say some shit like rose gold). im not coming up with locations and hints sorry idc that much.

GAB #1

the first gab is them jumping over the hurdle of "wait we don't really have much interaction besides investigating murders and blushing dumbly" which is primarily what irks me in the game's efforts to push her as a love interest. at least let us watch yuma spend some god damn time with her holy shit WHYYY doesn't she have any fucking gumshoe gabs I'm going insa-

erm anyway let's make em have a casual talk abt something. yuma would probably start off like "this is the first time ive really been alone with kurumi ahh i dont know what to say this is awkward ahhhh" and shinigami gets rightfully annoyed with his cuckly behavior. but in an effort to save the awkwardness yuma asks her about her work as an informant. i think she'd enthusiastically spout off about it and how her grandfather inspired her (though keeping it vague because i think she could save more talk of missing family members for later). maybe she talks about her first forway into her informant work and a certain mishap that occured, yuma has to guess what happened bc she's a little embarrassed about it (this is whwre the dialogue options come in). but it's completely harmless. maybe she got spotted by the person she was tailing and then got a slap on the wrist and sent home. yuma finds it a little endearing, shinigami gives the bond level up message, and there. solid conversation. next

GAB #2

yuma asks her what exactly got her so interested in detectives. did she read heroic novels about them? did she see their noble efforts in the headlines? was she personally saved by one? the possibilities are endless and could all be answered here. actually lets have her teasingly make yuma guess here. poof, there's your dialogue options.

maybe she can even have a little kookiness as a treat and accidentally let the true nature of her admiration for detectives slip for a moment where it pretty much crosses the line of "that's a bit creepy". not towards yuma but still something a bit off putting like obsessively keeping track of her favorite detectives' activities or having information about their personal lives she absolutely shouldn't have (informant + proud participant in WDO stan culture is a dangerous combo) but she also misses doing that because now kanai ward is isolated. yuma could also be like "wait isnt what you were doing then a bit too much?" but it gets dismissed by shinigami telling him they levelled up their bond

Threeeeee!!!

this one should be about aiko methinks. yuma catches kurumi in a down mood and asks what's up and it goes from there. she gives us more detail into her friendship with aiko and maybe she could even actually acknowledge the deaths of those theatre club girls and mention how chillingly quiet the club has gotten. she tells yuma that she tries not to think about it, but the empty space they left behind is immense... yuma's dialogue choices may be to try to cheer up/comfort her. thank you, next

4

perhaps now she can talk about her grandpa (and also maybe drop how that home situation is cause girl where are your parents). she could talk about her mission in finding him cause he must be out there!!! somewhere!!!! this shit could be sentimental or smth. she could say something about kanai ward's nearly extinct species of people who are still fighting for the truth and how even when things are dangerous she remembers that no one else will do it so she's gotta step it up. she'd pivot that over to saying how glad she is that the master detectives are here bc of that, and yuma could have dialogue options where the correct choice is basically saying he admires her for that. idk. next

The Fiverrrrrrr

final gab. i was gonna be funny and say "probably another love confession like fubuki's and then yuma hits her with the nuh-uh" but due to the nature of the epilogue i actually dont think it does exactly that. maybe kurumi is stuck on a small, separate thing she's investigating and she summarizes what's up. i think it could potentially be a more personal problem or at least something she can connect to (another girl in school missing a family member? idk) so that it's a bit obvious she's more frustrated in not finding any leads. yuma helps her out a little in finding a lead (this is where the dialogue choices come in) and after thanking him, kurumi is like "y'know, we make a pretty great team" (flirting, but yuma doesnt read it that way.) shinigami groans and maybe even fusses about how she's yuma's partner but this goes ignored. and of course yuma's dense ass is like yeah i think you have the makings of a great informant and detective and he essentially coworker-zones her. kurumi then asks about how they could still maybe possibly work like this together perhaps maybe 👉 👈 🥹 after solving kanai ward's ultimate secret and yuma happily agrees. this will make his choice in the epilogue to fuck off to florida without much of a goodbye even funnier.

anyway thats it for my kurumi gumshoe gabs thanks for reading

[softness-and-shattering-art]

Ok process!

(And btw I may have fucked up a new pen by deciding to re-draw the lines over the pastel, after experimenting and seeing that that didnt work well, bc I got lost in the moment. The ink is exactly flowing nicely now. If you have any tips to save the pen please say!)

I bought some new materials the other day (a3 art diary, brown a4 diary, white pencils, black marker pen for outlining), and Ive never actually had any of those materials before except the pen, so I wanted to start messing around with it. And Im hoping Big Paper will help my brain in deciding thats worth getting the (acrylic, mostly) paints out. (I have about 0.1 watercolour skills so thats a whole project to learn).

So first I just fucked around with the above and pencil and and oil pastels to just see how it looks together and on brown paper. (Midtone paper?)(the adhd brackets are strong today).

To be perfectly honest my first days attempt at Harrow looks like this:

[Image description: a Harrow face in pencil on brown paper. Her nose line and bottom lip have been coloured in white pencil. Her top lip and around her eyes are done in black pastel, which are comically large compared to the face size. It looks like someone with a big black mustache in a superhero eye mask. Little bits of pastel have escaped the eye outline and lodged themselves in the details of the eyes themselves. Its pretty silly.]

I remind myself that I do in fact have the entire page to work on, and I end up with attempt 2:

[Image description: A pencil sketch of Harrow's face and neck. Its got the hair, the anger, the bone earrings; but none of the face paint or blood. Also the ears are relatively detailed which Im also proud of. The ears are quite prominent, for some reason this is important to me. Her ears are expressive.]

Next up, linework in my new pen (?RIP? HELP!).

[Image description: Same as above, now outlined in pen. The eyes now have an obvious reflection circle on the pupil. Her head hair, eyebrows and curly sideburns have been done in the outline pen.]

Some lines are a little wobblier than ideal, but Im really learning to let go of "perfection" in my art. So what some lines are a little wobbly, the art is still doing all the things Im trying to get it to do. My hand will strengthen and make swoopier lines, or it won't. Doesnt make this bad art. Just a little wobbly art, and thats fine. (Maybe a slightly thicker pen would look more like in my minds eye?)

I considered giving her a tiny bit of upper lip hair, but I decided that 1. It wouldnt work well visually with the face paint lines and 2. I dont think she got far enough into puberty. Tbh Id be kinda surprised if she menstruates with any kind of regularity.

Next picture I took because I knew it would look cool and yay new materials.

[Image description: same as above; Harrows eyes, teeth, and bone earrings have been coloured in white pencil, which looks both bright and comfortable against the brown paper. Its kind of like highlights? Its gently pretty. Also her pupil is coloured in black pen and the...iris? The coloured bit? Has been filled in grey pencil.]

Not much else to say, the white looks super cool.

I dont remember exactly which is next, I hope this is a fantabulous introduction for it anyway.

Almost there!

[Image description: Same as above, now with Harrows black face paint done in oil pastel. The design is symmetrical side to side. Big circle-diamond shapes around the eyes, lines coming down both sides of her forehead. The sides of her nose are also covered, sort of swirly T-shapes on either cheek, a line under the curve of her nose, straight vertical lines on her upper lip, two slanty lines on her chin, and these little dots on the diagonal between nose and eye. The top of her neck has sort of swirly tentacle shapes going downward.]

I think in hindsight, doing black pastel over top of white would have been easier than dodging the black to put down the white and also try avoid too much grey smudging. Although given that she's worked up, I think some smudging actually adds to the realism. There, I totally had that planned the entire time because Im super thoughtful and totally didnt mess up my NEW PEN.

I was going to take a picture after the face-paint, but I got distracted thinking about an earlier idea to make her bloody also. Because thats just how Harrow is. I was trying to think what would go nicely on top of pastel, since by now I had realised that Id maybe fucked up my pen, and also I specifically wanted the paint to be pastel, because its described as chalky, so I didnt want to also do the blood in pastel. What about paint? Thats so messy that requires a palette- wait I only need a tiny bit! Huzzah!

So I just. Found a small paintbrush and dipped it directly into the tube. And it worked wonderfully! Could I have been more subtle with the paint, sure, and I did rein myself in from adding more, but I dont think its too much. I think its exactly the right amount for an artwork by me who leans more maximalist than minimalist when it comes to details. I will probably need to restrain myself from the painting the background yet another shade of black.

Oh and I decided that grey didnt look right, so I went over her irises in brown texta (marker) which now look totally black which makes her look creepier! Totally as intended!

Here's the final product again to complete the sequence:

Aand I can't copy paste the image description back down on mobile. Its the same picture though. Im sorry about that.

Have a Harrow!

Im gonna talk about the process under because Im really proud of it. But firstly heres the final version (for now? A background is itching at me but also blank space is allowed and in fact important):

[Image description: A photo of a mixed media artwork of Harrowhark Nonagesimus of The Locked Tomb, just her neck and head. She is pulling an angry face with big diagonal eyebrows, a scrunchy nose and a snarly mouth with teeth. She is wearing face paint to look like a skull, rendered in oil pastel so that it looks chalky. The paint covers her entire face, ears, and top of her neck. The paint is primarily white, with big black shapes around the eyes, most of the nose, and the upper lip. There is also some other black decorative paint in lines and circles. Harrow has short very curly black hair and sideburns, which are drawn in pen. Everything is outlined in black pen. The background is brown paper. Her ears are littered with bone earrings, mostly studs. From her orifices, including sweat glands on her forehead, she is exuding bright red painted blood, which also drips down her face. ]

Can I ask how you downloaded the jpn version :0 I have Apple and from what I know it involves changing the id?

heyy!! i actually downloaded the jpn version on my laptop, since i couldnt figure out how to do it on my phone. if you'd like to do this on your laptop/computer too, heres the tutorial !!

download bluestacks (you can download it from google, all it does is act as the mobile app store on your computer so you can play mobile games on pc!). when you get that downloaded, go to google and look up Qooapp (you have to download qooapp from google to get it, since its not on the app store)

and im pretty bad at explaining things so ill try to use pictures !

heads up, these pictures are the computer preface of qooapp, the qoo app looks a bit different on mobile ! anywho, when you get on the website that pink haired character will pop on the side saying you can download qooapp, and then you click on that egg and itll take you to the next photo, where you click on "here" and it'll download the file into your computer. If im not mistaken, I think it pulled up bluestacks right after, and it took a couple seconds (10-20 seconds??) for qoo app to show up on the bluestacks homepage

when you get done downloading qooapp, click on it and go in and search "Ayakashi Romance Reborn" and it should come up with both the jpn and eng versions of the game

once you click the jpn version, it should say "download" at the botton where mine says "open". mine says open since ive already downloaded it

at first i was wondering if id get a virus or smth from qooapp, but its actually a really easy to use app, and i got no ads or popups or anything like that, so dont be afraid to download it !!

this is what the home page looks like when you open bluestacks. The ayakashi game you see on there is the english version, but the jpn version should pop up on there too ! it could also pop up as a shortcut on your desktop , which is really convienient since i can just click on it and itd take me there . i underlined that translator app someone on the hashtag said they used to translate the japanese , and it works pretty fine, although the japanese is a bit broken , but thats fine since i get a general idea of what theyre saying lol

bluestacks is a completely safe to use program, it has no ads or any popups like that, its just as if the mobile appstore is on your pc :) the qoo app is also on there so it should be easy to download from there ! hope this helped !!

btw, sorry for giving you the pc version of how to download jpn ayakashi RR, i know you asked for the mobile version , but i just couldnt figure it out lol . i hope this helps !! im not very good at explaining things so if you have any questions abt this tutorial than feel free to ask !! <3

Hi there! I love your work!! So I know this sounds a little niche but, could we get headcanons for a reader in a polyamorous relationship with Hange and Miche please? Hope you’re having a really good day!

NO BEXAUSE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEINE TO REQUEST POLYAMOROUS STUFF OMGGGGG 😭 ty for your service anon it means a lot 😔🙏

hange and mike dating headcanons (canonverse)

zoë hange x gn!reader x mike zacharias

warnings: polyamorous relationship, and titans ??, reader is kinda innocent ?? like just easily wound up

also this is going to be SO fucking long and focused on hange for the first long bit sorry !

btw this isnt rlly dating headcanons so much as backstory, how you met, and shit leading up to actually getting together i went so fucking overboard and went the complete opposite way of what you asked ill do a part two with ACTUAL dating headcanons if youd like anon just tell me and ill do it

- i think you wouldve worked for garrison originally

- in season one when hange started the experiments on sawney and bean thats when you would've met them

- you had been a big fan of their research studies for a while, so being in front of someone you thought was so cool was a little nerve wracking

- you had just became newly appointed as a captain for a garrison squad, being one of the youngest recruits to get the position, which also meant some people thought you couldnt handle the job

- you were good at telling others what to do, and guiding them when needed, you took over the leader role very quickly, you had to if you wanted to keep the position

- although you thought you were a good leader, others didnt

- specifically older members of garrison who thought because you were so young, youd be naive

- and since you were a garrison captain, you worked closely with hange and moblit during their experiments

- any request they made for supplies or anything, went through you and youd get it for them

- they needed more help ? youre requesting three soldiers to the experimentation zone immediately. anything they needed you helped with, because you liked helping

- hange had quickly grown fond of you, they were so thankful that you were so willingly to have your squad help them. you remember the brunette grabbing your hand and saying "thank you for your dedication to this project and to science !" while bowing multiple times

- as unsanitary and childish as it was,,, you didnt wash that hand for a day

- hange saw how some members of your squad treated you, and it may have irked them a bit

- causing them to rant to moblit while writing down research data

- "hange." "i just dont get it, why dont they say anything ? theyre so nice so why dont people respect them like they should-" "hange !" "what ?!" "youre writing down captain l/n's name on your page !" "so what ?!- wait what" this causes a night of bickering between the two of them 😐🤚

- when sawney and bean died hange was devastated. you had grown to like the section commander as a friend and respected them greatly, so to see their hardwork and research all go down the drain was hard

- you immediately went into leader mode and started ordering your squad around "listen up ! i want this whole perimeter checked and searched for any evidence to help us find out who did this." a couple members groaned, and one man, who was in his early thirties made a comment about it. "theyre just stupid fucking titans. we're supposed to kill them, not keep them alive for some freak to experiment on them."

- yknow,, looking back on it maybe you shouldnt have went off on them the way you did, but you did because not only was the man questioning your authority and orders, he was blatantly disrespecting a section commander. "i am your captain. i am your leader. you will respect me, and you will listen to me. you either do i say or youll be suspended and taken off my squad immediately. and that goes for everyone ! do i make myself clear ?" you shouted. the man who had talked back raised his eyebrows, youd never once yelled or demanded things be done in a manner like this, and it clearly shocked him when you stood up for yourself.

- a bunch of murmurs came from your squad and you dismissed them, but not before stepping in front of your soldier in front of everyone. "between you and me ? you should be discharged for not only your blatant disrespect and defiance to me for months now, but also for your innapropriate and degrading comments about section commander hange. you wanna pull some shit like this in the future, not just to me but to anybody ? you should kiss your position in garrison squad goodbye, since youre too childish to keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself. now grow the fuck up and go do what ive asked please." the man looked scared as he stared at you, no one had seen you act like this before, his jaw clenched as he nodded and walked off, the rest of your squad dispersing with him

- you didnt notice hange calling your name until you felt their hand on your shoulder. you turned around and saw their sympathetic gaze on you. "thank you for defending me. are you okay ?"

- you rubbed the back of your neck and answered. "honestly ? i feel kind of bad, like i embarassed him or something." the survey corps leader tilted their head back as they laughed. "youre so kind y/n, but im proud of you." the comment, although lighthearted, struck a cord with you

- a couple days later you were requested to meet with not only the section commander but commander smith, as well as your superior, dot pixis

- the meeting only lasted about thirty minutes, but hange had boasted about not only your leadership skills but also your knowledge and ideas on various sciences. erwin decided to offer you a position to work under hange, and dot pixis agreed to have you transferred to the survey corps if you agreed.

- did your decision have to do with your crush on hange ? maybe. would you ever admit it ? no.

- pixis explained to you that youd be honorably disharged from the garrison regiment before being moved to the scouts' headquarters in trost

- you surprisingly got along well with others there. working in hanges squad was fun, and even though you were demoted from a captain back to a cadet you didnt mind

- hange had offered to share as much knowledge as they could with you, which led you to be in their office (as messy as it was) after work hours

- and thats where you met mike

- well, got to know him

- hange introduced you two when you first joined and the first thing the section commander did was NOT shake the hand you held out for him but to lean down and sniff around your hair and neck

- your face felt hot as you stuttered over your words, thrown off by his,,, unique, greeting

- hange and laughed and lightly pushed him away, before explaining to you that thats just what mike did

- back to being in hanges office

- for nights on end youd stay up together in their office, two chairs huddled beside one another while you read through books of research, not just from hange but from published scientists and anthropologists too

- mike had started joining you two only three days after you and hange started

- he would stay quiet, but would sit next to hange making them be sandwiched by the two of you

- after that you started to notice him more often

- down the halls he'd send you a small smile, which you brightly returned

- sometimes he'd be in charge of training that day, and he would wordlessly help you position your arms to properly block or punch when sparring with other members

- then he started bringing tea when he would come and listen to you and hange discuss different theories, articles and information together

- you didnt even know the two were dating until you accidentally walked in on them in hange's office

- they werent doing anything dirty, just giving each other a kiss, but you had walked in on them with a stack of papers captain levi told you to give to hange.

- you kinda,, stood there, slackjawed, while the two pulled apart slowly to look at you. hange had a mischievous grin on their face while mike just gave you a blank stare

- you dropped the papers. the stack of documents levi tasked you to give to hange. you dropped them. How Embarassing.

- your face began to feel hot not just from seeing them but also because youre embarassing yourself by dropping the papers and just standing there like an IDIOT

- "uh,,, i- captain levi said to give you those documents you requested." your voice cracked at the end making you wince

- "you mean the documents that are spread out on my floor now ?" hange asked. you looked between them and the floor, then at mike, then back to the floor than back at hange. "yes." you said, and you could feel that warmth in your face spreading to your ears now too. "im sorry." you exclaimed, your voice sounding strained as you quickly walked backwords and closed the door in front of you

- you started avoiding hange and mike after that, and became hyper aware of everything that they did. they were TAUNTING YOU 🙄 you could feel it

- instead of small smiles in the halls, after you started ducking your head down when you saw mike, he would now give you head pats when you crossed him

- hange would let their hand linger on your shoulder or side as they shuffled past you during meetings or experiments, and would come closer than usual when handing you documents

- mike would give you teasing smiles when you got your ass handed to you during sparring

- and finally you were fed up ! did this count as workplace harassment ? you didnt know but you wanted answers ! so you went to the source, hange's room after dinner

- you didnt bother knocking, you just walked in with your eyes closed

- hange giggled, "what are you doing y/n ?" "making sure im not walking into something i shouldnt be seeing, section commander." "by that do you mean the kiss mike and i shared ?" "yes." "well we're not kissing right now." they said, and you peaked one eye open to be sure they werent lying, and they werent !

mike stood up from his chair and slowly made his way past you, closing the door. you took a deep breath before throwing all of your word vomit on blond and brunette duo. "so i dont know why you guys think teasing me like this is fun, but it isnt. it makes me flustered and nervous and feel weird and im not sure if it counts as abuse of power but i dont like it so it needs to stop." you huffed in a big breath of air after saying all of that, and hange rested their head in their hands.

"y/n do you have a crush on me ?" they asked. their voice was soft but they still had that stupid smile on their face. you could feel your face getting warmer by the second. your mouth opened and closed but no words came out.

" i uh, im gonna leave now." you turned around but hit something hard, and looked up at mike looking down on you, a smirk on his face. he put his hands on your shoulders and turned you back around to hange, walking the two of you over to their desk. he gave you a slight push, causing you to put your hands on the desk and lean on it, while mike kept his hands on you to keep you from running.

hange leaned into you, your noses barely touching. "i only ask because, mike and i have grown very fond of you." they said. you nodded a little bit, the tips of your noses brushing against each other.

"yeah well, id be a little sad if my superiors didnt like me, that would be kind of bad." you replied.

"can i kiss you ?" they asked.

and now is when your brain really stops functioning. thoughts fill your mind of mike and his relationship to hange. are they actually together or is it a friends with benefits kind of thing ?

"i uh, i cant kiss you." you replied, a bit breathlessly caused by both section commanders.

"why not y/n ?"

"well i'm not a cheater, or a homewrecker. i mean i assume that you and mike are together so, im not going to kiss someone in a relationship." you stammered out. this was making you very nervous, butterflies errupting in your stomach. you knew they were just teasing you, goofing around to make you flustered, but a part of you hoped youd be able to kiss hange, and maybe mike for that matter.

they chuckled a bit, before their brown eyes looking behind you to mike's towering form. "honey, can you tell y/n its okay if they kiss me ?" they asked. mike let out a small laugh through his nose before leaning down.

"only if y/n promises to give me a kiss afterwards." he whispered. he pressed a faint kiss to your temple, and you shivered from the contact. he was warm, very warm, and even though it was such a small amount of contact it did so many things to you.

you gulped before bringing your eyes back to hange. you looked to their eyes, and then to their lips, and continued that pattern silently in hopes theyd understand. you didnt want to be teased anymore ! you wanted something to happen.

hange got the hint and smirked, before leaning in again and lightly brushing her lips against yours. theirs were soft compared to mikes chapped ones, and the kiss was so slow, so innocent, it had you leaning in for more. it was a slow, lazy kiss, a kiss to test the waters, it helped calm your nerves, but also made your nerved explode with heat.

finally the researched pulled away, and put their hands on your cheeks, squishing them to pucker your lips, before giving a kiss to your forehead, nose and lips one last time. they let go with a soft smile on their face, and a blush of their own.

you could feel mike press his body down against yours, making your knees buckle slightly. he took his right hand off your shoulder to place it on hange's cheek, thumbing over the red pigmentation. he then turned your head up and to the side, before giving you a kiss of his own. this one was a bit more dominating, hard. his chapped lips scratched against your own but you didnt mind. in a weird way it made you feel at ease, having him take control of it, the same way hange did but his was just more, needy.

he pulled back with a shaky breath and looked at you before looking at hange. "so y/n," hange began. they stood up and made their way around the table, mike pulling himself and you up straight so hange could sit on the edge, pulling you in to stand between their legs. being sandwiched in between mike and hange made you so aware of them, and even though you were very new to something like this you felt weirdly safe and secure. "mike and i genuinely care about you, and we want to be with you the way that we're with each other. would you like that ?"

honestly, how could you say no ?

thats it again im sorry the anon who requested this you did not get what you asked for 😭😭😭😭 hope u all enjoyed requests r open stay safe

[prompt-master]

Would you be willing to share how you might rewrite Yukizome, Sakakura, and Munakata to make them likable characters (if not ppl Bc there’s a big difference)???

ahhhhhhh this ask got me so stupidly excited that I was like wavin my hands around. I think about how to rewrite their characters OFTEN. very often. I’m gonna go with likeable character over likeable people because I think they work better where they’re actually not that likeable people. 

The one I think about the MOST is Munakata. He was SUCH wasted potential and I partially blame the medium for that (a single season anime is too constrained for future, it needed more time and care to be a proper story). But Munakata is actually so close to being a compelling character but they made some MAJOR mistakes with him. This ended up getting really long and more like a 3 page ADHD ramble essay. SO IM VERY SORRY to anyone who cannot read this but TYTYTY if you did because these ideas make me very happy! Oh it’s only about Munakata btw because of how long it got

The thing about Munakata is that he is designed to be a foil to Naegi. In fact a majority of dr3 future FOCUSES on this foil dynamic. It is Naegi’s hope vs Munakata’s hope. The World’s hope vs The FF’s hope. And more importantly it is True Hope vs Corrupted Hope.

This is a fantastic concept...so why didn’t it work in canon? I think that the biggest most glaring issue with Munakata’s hope is his logic. Munakata is meant to be a logical man, although with corrupted morals that lead him astray. Yet in canon his logic is laughably infallible. For example as a major figure in the FF and someone who wants to spread hope....why would he tell Naegi to kill himself? More importantly why does he continue to try and slaughter Naegi? The issue here isn’t from the fact that he wants him dead but from the fact that he is under the IMPRESSION that this entire game is being broadcast to the world.

Think about this for a second. In Munakata’s eyes he is going to kill the Ultimate Hope, an international symbol of a better life, live on TV. He doesn’t just want to kill the Ultimate Hope..he wants to do it BRUTALLY as a MAJOR FIGURE OF THE FF. IMO this should have happened later on as the game furthers the emotional turmoil in Munakata’s head and he eventually snaps and gives in to the desire to kill Naegi despite the fact that this is live. And then there should be CONSEQUENCES for that. I wanted so badly a realization where Munakata realizes that he is hurting the Ultimate Hope in front of what he believes is the entire world. 

Another issue with Munakata’s logic is saying things such as...implying that the HPA KG was...just a game. I mean...people DIED. it's not hard to see how wrong that logic is. you can't say “this is the real world now” when what Naegi experienced WAS the real world. I think that this could be fixed through a bit of world building. DR3 Future is rather isolated from its world. We don’t really know much about the world and its dynamics. I think it would make perfect sense if the general public viewed the HPA KG as a tv show, they got numb to the sight and even those untouched by despair had a hard time connecting that these are REAL people suffering. With this previously established Munakata expressing that the KG was not real would make a lot more sense and play into his corrupted idea of hope. 

There is also Munakata’s connection to his other friends. Now I’ve talked about this before but the game was clearly designed to BREAK Munakata and Naegi. This way the FF would die, both the FF and World’s hope would be broken, and upon seeing this Mitarai would have no choice but to deploy his own forced hope. So it makes perfect sense that Yukizome’s death would break him (in fact if she hadn’t died in that way, her NG code was designed to be Munakata’s fault). But something about it felt...superficial. Again I think this is the mediums fault but it almost feels as though Munakata just forgets about Yukizome until later. I think they should spend more time establishing his pain and what he has lost and why this pushes him to kill. In his eyes if she can die then nothing else matters. It should be THE breaking point, not the first push. I do like the betrayal he feels towards realizing she had despair but it needed more time to fester. 

And his relationship with Sakakura also felt weak. In all honesty it was hard for me to feel as though they were ever friends. Sakakura is written as though he just follows Munakata like a loyal dog and Munakata just orders him around. Establish their relationship more! Why are they such good friends? Why is Sakakura important to him? And more importantly why did Munakata decide to cruelly gut Sakakura knowing he was about to confess? This is because he believed that Sakaura was despair and that his confession was more manipulation, but they didn’t show this well at ALL. Munakata just comes across as a major a-sshole who does not care. I also personally found it distasteful that when changing his heart Munakata only seemed to cry for Yukizome. I understand that was his love interest but Yukizome at the end of the day killed herself. Sakakura however was an unnecessary betrayal he took into his own hands AS HE HIMSELF KILLED HIM. He should have more guilt over that! Not just in that moment where he runs to Sakakura, but ahead of time as well! Maybe even DURING his rampage they could have shown him having moments of guilt but he is so absorbed in the idea that all despairs have to die that he doesn’t even realize he has become despair in the name of hope.

A BIG weakness on Munakata’s part comes with interacting with other characters. He is a man who should know how to take charge, lead, and doesn't know what to do when things are getting too crazy even though he THINKS he does. Munakata is heavily flawed, OBVIOUSLY flawed, but many of the interactions with him are as tho his rampage isnt a big deal. There should be reasons for this! Why do people trust Munakatas guidance so much? I dont know! All ive seen from him is that hes insane! Maybe even pieces where around others hes a lot nicer so you can understand why they follow him, even though hes ready to gut Naegi alive with a flaming katana. His interactions with others feel like the writers just wanted to see the next big evil thing they could think of, but for Munakata’s character this doesn't make sense because he was appointed a high status in the foundation for a reason. Maybe even have people say they disagree with some of his methods but at the end of the day he gets the job done!

There is another major missed opportunity here and it's why Muanakata wants Naegi dead so badly in the first place. The remnants. Hiding terrorists in the apocalypse is a PERFECTLY valid reason to want someone dead and think they're a bad guy! But I think since Naegis initial arrest was already so hostile and violent we get the sense that the FF is simply just...crazy. 

And let’s think about what Munakata WANTS from Naegi. He does not just want Naegi dead he wants something worse. He wants Naegi to suffer first. He thinks that Naegi doesnt understand his own personal pain. He thinks that because Naegi protected the remnants he must also not care about the suffering the remnants caused. He wants Naegi to feel despair and then die. This is important to his corrupted hope. He thinks the suffering must be shared in order to understand who must die, but he is creating a cycle of pain. Tie this back to the broadcasting issue. He wants Naegi to break for everyone to see. I think..and this is just a concept..I think it would have been a great idea for Munkata to force Naegi to watch the despair video so that he has no choice but to understand. 

AND themes are majorly important to Danganronpa. And I don’t think its a stretch to say that there are parallels between Munakata and Naegi. In fact I would say that there are aspects of the og trio in this new trio. I think it would have been really cool if they showed how our favorite trio could have ended up if they had been corrupted as well. But the parrellels dont stick strongly. I think it would have been cool to show a past where Munakata’s idealism lies more strongly than Naegis. As the student council president there was a time where he himself had to use his words to solve problems. Perhaps he learned that sometimes his words made things worse. Munakata does not have Naegi’s talent of emotional intelligence. He is a man of action over words. So he interprets this as WORDS being the problem rather than understanding he does not have these skills. Especially when the apocalypse breaks out, it becomes all action over words. So he sees Naegi who is all talk as a genuine threat who will let everyone die through his “weak ineffective” idea of hope. 

Another parallel could be drawn from the fact that they both have hope based careers. Their job is too keep things hopeful. Maybe Naegi stays safe doing public broadcasted speeches, while Munakata is on the field weeding out despairs. This would cause Munakata to feel as though Naegi is doing no real work yet getting all the credit for being a savior.

Munakata constantly complains that Naegi does not know true pain. But he and we as an audience have followed Naegi through his entire process of trauma. We know he is in the wrong. But what do we as an audience know about Munakata’s suffering? We are shown almost nothing! There are some implications, but for how intense he is implications are not enough. We need to see his suffering. We should see how he has witnessed death. Yukizomes death is not nearly enough for this because he talks as though he has suffered for years. How can we as an audience understand that when we have never seen it? How can we understand Munakata when he is outright denying Naegi’s trauma that we KNOW existed with no proper justification for his reasoning?

I also believe that Munakata should have died. It actually upsets me a bit that he was PLANNED to die but didn't. He should have died protecting Naegi after all that suffering and relentless brutality he offered him. Munakata again is a man of action over word, and protecting Naegi with his last breath is the perfect way to show how in the end he changed. Especially when all he wanted initially was for Naegi to die. I find that much more satisfying than just…...walking off to who knows where.

So lets recap some changes. Munakata needs a proper display of his past traumas and his relationship with Sakakura and Yukizome. Munakata needs a proper display of his work relationships and the respect he has earned. Munakata needs to fall into corruption at a better pace, and have geniune reasons for his illogical attacks on Naegi. Munakata needs to care more for his friends. Munakata needs to deal with the turmoil of wanting to hurt Naegi while he believes the world is watching. Munakata needs to die for Naegi

This has gotten long...and I still have things to say. There is so much to make Munakata a good character. Future had a lot of potential and is amazing for a rewrite concept. As for Sakakura and Yukizome since this has gotten long feel free to ask for another round of this individually when asks are open again! If you read all of this somehow….TYSM

[tviseverything]

So I’m rewatching Glee during this quarantine...

AND THERE HAS BEEN ONE THING IVE ALWAYS HATED ABOUT THIS GODDAMNED SHOW AND IT’S THE LACK OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Let me explain.... the storylines in the show had the potential to set up the character development for each character and they missed it! And the people that had the ABSOLUTE MOST POTENTIAL FOR AWESOME CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WERE QUINN, RACHEL, SANTANA, AND BRITTANY AND HERE’S WHY... Quinn edition because this is way too long for the other characters... I promise i’ll follow this up with the other ones. (BTW, this took me so long to do because life kept getting in the way but I finally finished it! Please give it a read and let me know if you agree or disagree. I am always open to discussion!! And swipe down all the way to be blessed with a couple of Quinn Fabray gifs!!)

Quinn is the first because let’s think about it for a sec. In the beginning of the series, Quinn was that typical queen bee, mean girl type who was on the cheerleading squad and ruthlessly bullied anyone who got in her way including Rachel. But then life throws her a curveball and she ends up getting pregnant. 

This storyline set Quinn up to learn some very valuable lessons and some harsh truths. For example, Quinn gets kicked off the cheerleading squad after the news comes out that she’s pregnant and she’s kicked out of her home and disowned.

The first season was doing great handling her character development, for example, in 1x15, when the time came for yearbook pictures, Quinn was desperately trying to get back on the squad for the picture but in the end she thanks Sue for making her realize that she’d rather be part of a team that is proud to have her (Glee Club) instead of a team where she only appears to belong (Cheerios). (let me add that this scene also could have set up a slowburn for Faberry because in that same episode, Rachel was describing how school pictures are everything to her and that if she ever became famous, she would want her face in the year book picture and be prepared. Keep this in mind because later on Quinn blackmails Sue into giving up one of the Cheerio’s six pages and giving it to the Glee club free of charge. Quinn didn’t have to do this. Her entire goal was to get back on the Cheerios and not fight for the glee club photo. In fact, in the episode, she didn’t even want to be in it. So why did she do it? For Rachel, perhaps? any way this is about Quinn not faberry so lets get back to it)

Another example from before is she becomes friends with Mercedes. In episode 1x16, Mercedes is forced to starve herself for the Cheerios and in doing so, her blood pressure dropped which caused her to faint. Quinn recognized what Mercedes was doing and sympathized with her. She then helped Mercedes realize that she doesn’t need to be skinny to be beautiful and she is perfect the way she is and she sings a song about it as well while Quinn stands next to her, furthering her message. This episode created a beautiful friendship between Quinn and Mercedes that in later episodes, Mercedes offers her home to Quinn after connecting with her about being bullied and dealing with it. Let’s also add in the fact that this was before the Lucy Caboosy storyline, which in my opinion ruined her character even more but I’m not gonna get into that until later. In that season, Mercedes and Quinn were set up to be a great duo for season 2 but... Where the hell did all of that go???? Did they just completely forget that Quinn lived with Mercedes for a short while and that they bonded over similar experiences??? What the hell??? I would also like to add onto here that a friendship between Quinn and Kurt was a HUGE miss! They would have been an amazing duo!! Along with Mercedes of course. I will talk about this type of stuff in separate post!

ANOTHER example was when in episode 1x13, the truth about the baby’s father comes out which was Rachel’s fault. After drama ensues, Rachel goes to apologize and readies herself for a punch from Quinn, but in a surprising turn of events...Quinn forgives her. The old Quinn probably would thrown multiple slushies in Rachel’s face, call her names and maybe ruin her life. But this Quinn quickly forgave her and told Rachel that she did something that she wasn’t brave enough to do, tell the truth! She forgave Rachel even though she clearly knew that Rachel only told Finn to break them up so she could have him all to herself. This was a very pivotal moment in the series that would show how Quinn emotionally matured after what happened to her. (this scene also would have set up faberry perfectly as well but oh well) 

Anyway, the whole point of this post is about the lack of character development in the series and while everything I just said argues against it...the character development from season one didn’t last very long especially when we start right off the bat in season 2, Quinn rejoins the Cheerios and tries to restore herself to her former glory. I understand why she would want that again but this alone completely destroyed her character development because after learning all the things she had learned while pregnant, she shouldn’t have wanted to go back to that old life again but she did. Add that onto the fact that in order to restore herself to her former glory, she also snitches on Santana about her “summer surgery” Pregnant Quinn wouldn’t have even thought to rat out her own friends but new and improved Quinn did and I HATED IT because of that knowledge. This could have been handled better by probably having Quinn join the cheerios again but have her use her power for good such as, protecting all of glee club from future slushies, made it so the jocks wouldn’t have so much power with bullying, or even set an example for cheerios for how they should act in the school. But instead they pull this shit. 

I’m not finished!! Season 2 and beyond was a DISASTER for Quinn. The writers literally erased all of that character development just so they could create more drama. An example of this is the cheating storyline. Quinn had started dating Sam in the beginning of Season 2 and everything is going well for them until *sigh* Finn came along and convinced her to cheat on Sam with him. THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE WORST STORYLINES ON GLEE. Finn knows what it was like to be cheated on (I know he cheated on Quinn in the first episode with Rachel but we’re not talking about that right now) Finn knows the pain of finding out that you’ve been lied to and betrayed so the fact he even had the AUDACITY to lure Quinn into cheating AGAIN infuriates me deep inside. You would think that after what happened when she cheated the first time, she would learn her lesson...BUT SHE DIDN’T. WTF. THIS RUINED HER CHARACTER EVEN MORE!!!!!! PLUS I HATE ALL THE UNNECESSARY DRAMA THAT STORYLINE CREATED, INCLUDING THE FEUD BETWEEN RACHEL AND QUINN. 

I would also like to talk about the Lucy Caboosey storyline because it is a crucial fact to know about Quinn. The Lucy Caboosey storyline was introduced at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME. I am seriously convinced that Ryan Murphy only wrote that in to create “depth” to Quinn’s character. If they were going to do that storyline at all, then they should have introduced it in the first season or should have created a better plot to accomodate to the storyline. This storyline also didn’t add anything to the Prom Queen storyline. I honestly wish that the writer’s have taken Quinn’s character development from season 1 into account because if they had, then I believe that the Lucy Caboosey storyline and the Prom Queen storyline wouldn’t have existed and these storylines only exist as Ryan Murphys attempt to reverse all of the depth that Dianna Agron gave to the character and make her a basic, self-centered blonde cheerleader and when that didn’t work out... the Lucy Caboosey storyline was there to give Quinn “depth” 

I would also like to talk Quinn’s obsession with winning Prom Queen and taking Finn to the prom (Finn was an asshat in this episode by the way but let’s not focus on him). I really wished that the writers took Quinn’s character development into account because if they had, then Quinn wouldn’t have been reverted back into the 2 dimensional, blonde, cheerleader character like she was at the beginning of the series and she also wouldn’t have had a storyline involving Lucy Caboosey.  Her taking Finn to the prom was a complete bullshit storyline as well because we all know that relationship between Quinn and Finn was only there to drag the love triangle between them and rachel into the next season even though it was very clear that Quinn and Finn weren’t gonna get back together in the first season. 

Also at the end of that season, where nationals took place, there was a scene between Quinn and Brittany and Santana where Quinn breaks down, this should have been one of those pivotal character development moments where she makes a realization about herself and tries to live her truth, but no! She cuts her hair and all is well. 

Before we move on to season 3, I want to talk about the Celibacy Club and religion in regards to Quinn Fabray. As we all know, Quinn was the captain of the Cheerios and president of the Celibacy Club (even though that didn’t last long...whoops) so the theme of celibacy and religion go hand in hand for Quinn. I would have really like to see a storyline of Quinn losing faith in her religion, whether that may be because God decided to make Quinn pregnant and in result get disowned by her family or (in my perfect world) Quinn starts to realize that she might like girls and because of how her family is, she struggles with it. That would have been an interesting storyline to see and it would have tackled the topic of religion as well! I would have liked to see this as an ongoing theme for Quinn throughout the show but of course Ryan Murphy had to be a shitty writer. 

This post became wayyyy to long for my attention span so I am going to break this down into parts. Also I am so sorry that this post is all over the place but I had to write it all down before I lost the train of thought so some explanations might not be as in depth as others and it might not be in order so again I apologize. So I will talk about Quinn in season 3 and the rest of the seasons when she shows up from time to time.

We put a bunch of cc ideas (hair and clothes) in a discord server we have together and then work on the stuff together on call usually so each item is the way we both want me. Like for example i’ll be meshing the Ivy top while he works on texturing the ribbed version.  We also only do collabs when they happen, we didn’t plan AxA 2019 or this new set, mainly just made cc starting in May and wrapped it up in July to release in August. Then this time we started making stuff late December and got most of it done by the time I got done with my break. Having a planned collab/deadline makes stuff less stressful and the stuff usually turns out better imo

I have thought of doing accessory bangs tbh, I just like... don’t like using accessory bangs myself. So I’m not sure if I’ll end up doing it. I might try it for myself and see how many hairs they work with, and if it is a decent amount I’ll release.

I really really wanted to have all my 2019 hairs updated by 2020. It was only January 2019-April 2019 that needed updated (thumbnails and display indexes). But I just lost motivation for doing it. I will focus on it next time I have a big break from school. Also planning on updating select stuff from 2018 and 2017.

She should be on there? I think? Make sure you have CC enabled and if you can’t find me through the gallery her tray files are here

Anonymous said: Hi! After the recent patch I started having a small issue with Bree hair(without bangs), when I zoom out it looks like a completely different hair, something similar to that one basegame hair that's layered with tips pointed outward but longer. Thought I'd let you know, maybe others have had a similar issue or maybe I need to change a setting or something. Love your work so much!

Really surprised this is the first time someone told me about this lmao. The hair should be updated now on SFS/Patreon <3

Anonymous said: I tried to look around for this on your "Asks" portion before bothering you (so sorry), but do you have a link perhaps for all the lips you use on your models? Are they in game or a cc you create? Thanks so much! Love all of your work! I'm super new to cc stuff and I found yours like 2 days ago and have been going nuts with downloads lol 

like presets? None of my cc models use a lip preset. I do use this slider on some of them though. For lipsticks, that is listed for each model on my resource page <3

they’re in my retired section... may they rest in peace. scroll to the bottom of my downloads and youll see ‘RETIRED.’ click that for the retired download page. 

@eclypt-0-sims said: Hi, I recently started making MM hair and I know you're probably an expert at this but; every time I go into CAS to test a hair, all of my accessories clip with the hair. Like the hair texture would cover some glasses if my sim was wearing glasses. I don't know how to fix it, someone told me to delete an eye weight in blender but I don't really understand weight painting that much, any suggestions? love your content btw

this is a late as hell reply i’m sorry. I think that you have texture where the glasses texture would be. Hair texture should only be in hair section or hat section (if you don’t want it hat compatible). Here is a UV map layout that I use for making hair textures. It shouldnt have anything to do with weights

Anonymous said: Do you use reshade when you take previews for your cc? and also is the tropical punch ombre overlay a palette or did you make it?

I do use reshade when I take cc previews. It adds a bit of saturation to my sims and gives them some shadows under their chin/clothes. Nothing major. Also, myself and @imvikai came up with the tropical punch palette together.

@little-eris​ said: You probably have answered this before but who drew your tumblr icon? I’ve seen the same art style with other simmers 👉🏼👈🏼 it’s super cute!

thank you! here is their twitter 

Anonymous said: The male sim in your Tiny Living review looks soo familiar; was there inspiration from anyone IRL? The person he reminds me of isn't even famous so I don't even know! He is very pretty though *-*

He was a gallery sim that I just revamped a bit so I’m honestly not super sure lmao. But he is very attractive yes I agree

that concludes this ask ceremony please collect your things and move to the exit to your left. fvghbjn if you sent something I didn’t answer and it was off anon I’ll get to you soon (person who asked what beards I used for AxA... I see you)

Let’s Brew a Commander Deck

I’ve been reading a fair few articles recently about brewing up EDH decks, and I’ve got a game night on tonight, so I figure I can hit up a random commander, build up a deck, and get my juices flowing. I’ve also burned through an assignment that I thought I’d still be working on tomorrow, so I’m kinda treating myself a little.

So let’s go ahead and hit the Random button on everyone’s favourite (?) aggregator, EDHREC, and see what pops up…

…oh goddamnit.

Welp, this is what we’re working with. Patron of the Nezumi has three things I like in a commander- Mono-Black, obscure Tribal, and Kamigawa. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much else going for it, especially since the other two potential Rat commanders are much better for a tribal deck- Marrow-Gnawer is brutally efficient at getting Rats on the table and through for damage, and Ink-Eyes is just more generically powerful.

With that said, Patron of the Nezumi doesn’t actually care about Rats all that much- though a 7CMC commander in non-green makes not using that Offering ability pretty bad. So let’s look at the second ability, and… it doesn’t look great either. Especially considering that Kothophed, a cheaper commander with a better benefit on basically the same trigger in the same colour, exists. And even less people are running it than Patron of the Nezumi, which is really confusing.

So what does Patron of the Nezumi do? It punishes people for having things die, which is nice since it stops a lot of infinite combos, and it’s a big idiot you can make cheaper and flash in by sacrificing a Rat. Where do we go with this?

I’m going to be honest: I don’t know. This commander beat me. There might be something there with some sort of Rat-themed control deck? I had a go at Flash matters, but Mono-Black doesn’t have enough there yet to make that work. I love me some meme-manders, but this one…I haven’t got a clue. Let’s try this shit again. RNGsus don’t fuck me again?

Yeah, sure, I can work with this. Lena looks at you and your pile of nontoken creatures- notably nontoken! And says cool here’s a bunch of idiots. She can protect them, too. 6 mana isn’t ideal for Mono-White, but we can make it work.

Whenever I have a commander that cares about creatures, the first thing I do is look for Creatures that can do things the deck wants to do anyway. Dudes that draw or ramp in this case. So the first thing I did for this deck was add mana dorks. But Rad, you may cry, White doesn’t get mana producing  creatures! That’s a Green thing! And you’d be right, but the Myr exist along with a few other artifact things, so we’ll get those bad boys in there. They aren’t great, but they’ll serve our purposes.

(Archideckt is a great site btw)

In the deck I’m looking at building, we kinda just want a pile of creatures even if they aren’t actually very good. So I’m gonna put in a smallish pile of cantripping creatures, as well as White’s effects that draw for small creatures. I’m also trialling Losheel out in this slot, since so many of our ramp cards are Artifact Creatures they might actually end up good. I’d love to get Inspiring Commander in here, but apparently WOTC has decided that card should only exist on MTG arena, so.

In doing this search, I saw Solemn Simulacrum and realised I forgot to add land-based creature ramp to the deck. This also gets some land draw I missed, like Oreskos Explorer. For all these searches, I’m using Scryfall, by the by- easily the best MTG card database as far as searching is concerned.

This is a lot, but we’re going to make cuts later.

Hey look, you know what else works with small creatures? All the White effects that reanimate little dudes. Considering one of the vulnerabilities of this deck is going to be getting wrathed while Lena isn’t on the board, it seems like a good idea to throw some of these in. Also Scarecrone, because she’s fun and underrated and good here. Also Karmic Guide, like, we’re getting Reveillark in so might as well. Shit now we need some sac outlets…

(No Phyrexian Altar, what are we, made of money? Also oops Ashnod’s doesn’t go in the Draw section does it.)

Next up: Wincons. We’re going to make a bunch of dudes, so we’re probably winning through combat- Anthems are where it’s at here. While I don’t like running Cathar’s Crusade in paper, I’m never building this in paper, so I’m throwing it in here. Sometimes having a nice ��kill you ded” button is good too, and in this case, we’re going for the spiciest one I’ve seen in a while: Charge Across the Araba. Unlike most cards with downsides like this, this one doesn’t fuck you over if it gets countered, which is always nice.

Two more things before we add the essentials and get to cutting. Backup Lenas- creatures that enter the battlefield with a small army- and flicker effects to get them back. There’s a fair few of each, with varying effectiveness. Some of the Flicker effects can also be used to save our boys’ asses as well. Found a couple extra things for our other sections on the way…

Now, the last bit is your standard interaction package. White gets some bomb-ass removal, and bomb-ass wraths, but in this deck, we get to run some fun ones of the latter. Our small-creature focus lets us run a pile of wraths that basically don’t affect our own guys, meaning we are able to be a creature-focussed deck that doesn’t ruin itself to answer opponent’s boards. We don’t need that many, though.

Last thing I do, before I start making cuts and adding lands, is to check the EDHREC page for my commander of choice to see if I missed anything obvious. And for Lena…there really isn’t much I’m interested in. Like, really, this has gotta be one of the most underpowered recommended sections ive ever seen. It doesn’t help that half of people appear to be either making ultra budget decks or bad Soldier Tribal lists.

So, how many cards are we up to?

Okay, so like, 15 or so cuts, not bad. Keep in mind I consider Sol Ring a land for the purposes of that calculation. I’m gonna make those offscreen real quick.

Yeah, good, ok.

Last thing is lands, and again offscreen because no one needs to see that. The final decklist can be found here. Looking back, this list could use some serious refining- and probably needs to cut a lane or two, but I’m proud of what I’ve created considering I did it in like an hour and a half. It’s always a fun experiment to try this sorta thing, to keep your mind churning.

I’m not building this in paper, though. Imagine building a monocolour deck that isn’t mono-Black (ignore my Zada and Callaphe decks please).

today was fine if not just a bit off. I woke up at noon for the first time in weeks because I accidentally stayed up til 4 am. I fed my cat, took a very relaxing shower (btw I know people sometimes read this and I feel like I should mention that I shower more often than just when I mention it in these posts. ive been thinking about that for weeks), did laundry, and drew ponies in my backyard. I only did about 3 pages of drawings in my sketchbook, but there were lots of characters on each page, and I like all the drawings :) and I shared them with sammie and she friggin loves the mlp designs!! ex bronie gang I guess. I’m having a ton of fun this is au of an au, and next I want to figure out what our ~elements of royalty~ would be. I did some research and found some concepts that could work, but tbh I think the best way to assign them would first require figuring out how our princesses rule their own kingdoms, how they would win the competition of new supreme ruler, and what would be their downfall. I'll probably dedicate more brain power to this tomorrow and maybe brainstorm with the group. BUT the most interesting part of today was going to my dad’s work to possibly get a PART TIME JOB! I printed out a reference sheet and filled out an application and headed over there with my dad and followed him around while he did his job and waited for the manager to have a free minute. they were really busy tho so I just sat near the paint swatches until he could scan through my papers and ask me to call him tomorrow. I drove home and hung out for an hour until 8 when my dad was supposed to get off work. I took his car home because the red one wasn't working and my sister took the nice grey one and my dad needed me to drive him home. I ended up sitting in the parking lot watching tiktoks for 45 minutes until my phone died waiting for him lol. he joked around imitating my brother and I from when we were in marching band and practice ended early and we were hungry and tired. I had helped mom make chicken earlier when she was feeling sad about not being able to walk or do anything and just wanting to eat, but I already ate that earlier and instead of eating it again, I made chicken and broccoli and added leftover pasta and Alfredo sauce and ate that instead. it was pretty good but I added too much pepper. 9/10 I'd make it again. then I got full and laid down with my cat, cuddling her and playing harvest moon. now its like 12;30 and I can hear mice chewing on construction paper but I'm going to choose to believe its rain outside because otherwise im going to be too mad to sleep

[request-roaxes]

Thank you for the continued requests! A little apology and why I deny/ignore some requests

Im sorry I have to decline a lot of them for either being too hard for my current abilities, for my sanity, or if I think its a little too extreme to be posted.

So what I mentioned awhile ago, when your making a request, try not to get your hopes up. if anything, sometimes ill only just do requests i particularly like since im doing it myself. :p

 Others can also be denied if there’s too much variables. I can’t make my own models so for example one about “twins” with lots of descriptions of how you want them to look like  can’t be done. Try to focus and request with the models on the list i have on my blog or the SFM workshop. (None of these models are made by me. I only use them for posts btw)

Most times you may not even know I denied a request since I don’t feel like getting into a potential argument for something im doing with my own time. If you do try to start one, I have no issue about blocking.

Now finally the positive

When making requests in general im definitely not tired of it yet and will keep doing them for a long time hopefully! Requests I accept are usually done oldest messaged to newest, 

I tend to try to do one once a day, but I do it on my own time though so depending on the size of the request, it may take a few days to finish one! I also sometimes pause this blog when im working on personal projects, like my Youtube videos. But if I liked your request enough, it will definitely be done when Ive resumed!

This will be the next request I do starting tomorrow below. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a Mario model from Mario Odssey but I got the other ones you want. So if you’re the requester, if you don’t mind feel free to send the link to me! :3

Note if you’re interested in making your own requests. Make sure you read this page first!:  https://request-roaxes.tumblr.com/Models-and-rules
