make more ultrakill?

it's kinda hard to exactly put my exact thoughts on ultrakill,

but I likely won't be making many more ultrakill fanart. I was thinking of maybe tackling cerberus or maybe something once act 3 / p -3 comes out.

I still love the game a lot but some certain aspects of the community im.. not a fan of to say the least. I also just wanna move on to more.. challenging stuff? faces and clothing and general style are things i wanna learn and it's a lot easier to work off and learn from an existing concept, rather than art direct myself and do a lot of guesses when translating something from psx to "HD" 3D or whatever

[callmepippin]

i feel like there is an important distinction between relatable and recognisable though, and people often confuse the two. maybe someone smarter than me can put this into better words, but i'll try anyway: just because i don't recognise any aspects of myself in a character, that does not necessarily mean i can't relate to them.

relating to someone i think means understanding their feelings, motivations and experiences as they compare (or relate) to your own--how their character or personality relates to your own. that doesn't necessarily mean their personality has to be similar to your own. differences can also describe a relation.

example: i am not much at all like Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye. i would not make the choices he makes, do the things he does, say the things he says. however, i do understand why Holden would do all that stuff, because Holden as a character is dimensional and believable (the other two feel more subjective so i'll leave those alone). and because i understand Holden's character, i can relate to him. "ah yes, i would not do this. but if i were Holden instead of myself, i probably would".

relating to someone is not necessarily exclusively about similar personalities or lived experiences. relating to someone is also about empathy; and if you can only empathise with people or characters who are immediately recognisable as similar to you, i think that might not be the fault of whoever wrote the character...

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.

this was supposed to be a different story. but i got an idea one day and i rewrote all of it. i like the end product a lot more & i hope you will too!

i've fallen deeply in love with all of the characters i'm ngl. i'll also make character pages over the weekend if i feel well enough to do so ive just been so sleep deprived that i'm basically feverish. lol

anyway yeah i've overstayed my welcome in the land of the conscious. i was gonna explain some things but my brain stopped functioning as soon as i loaded up all the images. i will see you on the other side

One Piece 1132 talk, my heart is full (and I'm freaking out again)

Can I just take a moment to comment on how this reminds me of, firstly, the first episode of Vicky the Viking, and simultaneously also, Luffy in Fuschia with Shanks?

It almost feels like an homage, it's super cute.

But BOY was this chapter so damn whimsical and exciting. It feels like a long time since the Strawhats have entered an island where there's no enemy (aware to them) that they're about to defeat; They're planning for a feast and it's a good time, it feels like a breather from all the chaos happening to the rest of the world lol

This spread is crazy btw

Elbaf feels like the fantasy land for me. A rainbow bridge where you can ride on (which, you can ride on rainbows this entire time and only the giants knew?? wild), island clouds in between levels, a whole village built on a tree with medieval architecture, waterfalls flowing down into the Underworld, just the sheer scale of it; It's SO good. I'm always in awe whenever they just pan over to an island's first look, and it was the whole island first with Yggdrasil and now this??? If you count Legoland then we have like 3 showings of Elbaf so far, and they just don't miss, they're so stunning.

Also this

This can make a grown man cry.

Usopp and Luffy, as they look on Elbaf, are thinking of the same thing. They both remember making this declaration, of someday going to Elbaf, a dream made by two boys just fresh out of East Blue and only on their second island in the Grand Line. And they made it. Usopp's dream is realized in this moment, and it's heartwarming that Luffy understands how important this was to Usopp as well.

(In a way, we as readers made it too. and yeah I cried a little lmao what of it)

And as if that's not enough, the narration starts, and halfway in the last page, as the narrator says "my account" that made me wonder "?? Is this someone actually talking?", in the last panel, with a ドン!！as it introduces a familiar name:

LOUIS ARNOT. LOUIS ARNOT, THE GUY WHO WROTE THE BOOK ABOUT LITTLE GARDEN, THE BOOK THAT NAMI OWNED THAT WAS ON THE MERRY BEFORE???? HUH????

I fully freaked out LMFAO because I've always been fascinated with the fact that explorers exist in the world of One Piece and they just have books annotating their experiences of the islands they go to and Louis Arnot is the only explorer we know of ever that's published a book about his expeditions, and the name drop just caught me off guard it's RIDICULOUS

The way we got introduced with Louis Arnot in Little Garden was with Nami remembering that she had read a book mentioning the island's name, and it was natural that we then got an excerpt from the book in the style of the usual One Piece narration, but here, this was so sudden (no segue, just appeared on a spread) that it makes the last panel with the all black background mentioning 'Louis Arnot' stand out.

I'm not saying that he's gonna appear as a character but hmMMMaybe??? (not likely lol) It's either that or I'm spouting nonsense and this is just a call back to when we first heard of Louis Arnot in Little Garden (which was on the last panel as well!). I still really like the idea of this faceless storyteller warning people of the islands he'd visited.

It also got me curious about Elbaf as an island?? What do you mean "Do not overstay your welcome"??? "Lost time"??? Do people lose track of time on Elbaf, and that's why giants experience time differently??? (👀 I like this theory I'm locking it in)

All in all, I feel like a kid again with this chapter, it truly feels nostalgic in the most magical way TvT

(edit: cause I totally missed this silhouette the first time ive read it, and he has been appearing (assuming this is the same person who was drinking sake when the Strawhats were approaching Elbaf just a few chapters back), but I believe this is. probably Shiki?? the kasa hat is totally hiding his dumb wheel chicken head???? maybe???

Like I know that's the common theory on this guy but the thing that makes me hesitate is idk what Shiki can bring story-wise, unless he's been disillusioned from being in Elbaf due to this thing Louis Arnot mentioned, or maybe there's just more to unpack from him than what we already know 🤔 curious)

[brunetteaura]

i know im going to be fine because i try my best to treat other people nicely. and if they dont reciprocate and go as far as to hurt me on the regular i will know i deserve better and not let them have access to me anymore. ive made a lot of mistakes in the past regarding this topic such as overstaying my welcome and being dismissive of other peoples feelings too but now that i dont and havent for a while now, i feel good about myself and thered be no reason for me to accept the unacceptable because ultimately what shows someones feelings towards you are their actions. and why would i let someone be mean to me when im not mean to them; why would i throw myself at someone when they couldnt care to have me in their lives. i put effort in my relationships and i dont cut people off out of the blue anymore but im okay on my own too if they dont care about me the same way. hii

[encantoisawesome]

Victorian!Reader x Vampire!Miguel O’Hara

YALL DONT UNDERSTAND HOW LONG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SCENARIO IM LITERALLY BLUSHING AND KICKING MY FEET

Warnings/CW: Bl00d, biting, violence, reader gets chased

Crack.

She is now wide awake. This is the third time that she’s heard aggressive rustling from the thorny white roses that lie on her balcony. She doesn’t want to, but she knows that she should investigate. After all, it’s still her palace, even if it is ran by her aristocrat father.

She swings her feet to the side of her bed, her nightgown(https://pin.it/8mKPiAN) draping over as she is slipping into her flats that lie beneath her bed frame. The slapping of the souls of said flats echo through the dark and empty corridors, the only light being the one shining through the big Palladian stained glass windows.

She enjoys the silence. It’s a great contrast from the bustling noise of everyday life in a palace full of elegant snobs and yes men. She strolls with much grace, a trail of white tulle and lace followed behind closely as she dragged her steps. She reaches the entrance to the garden, the place she feels most at ease, and where she can see where the noise is coming from, or who it’s coming from.

༺♥༻

The grass crunched beneath her feet as she took cautious steps through the garden, leaving the glass greenhouse and entering a large field of roses that sprawled for miles. The cool wind blew her gown that dragged along her feet, a chill running up her spine as the night ran cold and moon shined bright.

Crack.

She was grasped out of her trance when she heard the same rustling sound. She approaches the area in which the sound had come from, the hope of a stray cat being her only drive to investigate. As she got closer and closer to an emptier part of the rose field, she saw what looked to be a tall dark figure.

A man maybe? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the night, and she was right. A man stood there maliciously, his back facing her. He sported a white shirt which needed to be laced at the neckline with ruffles at the hems and pants a shade of burnt sienna(https://pin.it/6VibqO7). There was a red stain on his shirt, which surprisingly made her feel less threatened. He could just be a drunk from the gala whom overstayed his welcome.

His pointy left ear twitched as she approached him, her intentions to escort him out and get her chauffeur to take him back to his estate. He turned his head to face her, looking over his shoulder. Those eyes, those dastardly crimson eyes. They glowed, like the roses that lie dead around him. She could stare at them forever. She was intrigued, yet, terrified. Her eyes trailed down to what he was standing over.

A corpse that seemed to be one of her nightly watch guards lie dead in front of him.

Her fight-or-flight senses took over as she slowly took a step back. Step after step, her arms folded to her chest with her palms out, her body language telling him to ‘stay back’. Walking turned into running. She turned away and ran through the field, in hopes of signaling one of the servants.

As she turned back to see if he was following her, she was met with his face right in front of her. How could he have ran so fast? Before she could comprehend anything, he pinned her to the ground. The roses squashed under them. He pinned her wrists to the sides of her head, straddling her with his muscular thighs.

They stayed like that for a while, panting while looking into each other’s eyes. She notice that his mouth was oozing blood, assuming it wasn’t his.

She wanted to scream, oh so she wanted to scream her lungs out until steam rose from her throat. Shrill an echoing screech that would alert the whole earth that she was going to die. But she couldn’t. The lump in her throat stopped even the smallest of whines from escaping her lips.

He started to lean over her, the tension thick enough to cut with a butcher knife. Then, he stopped. His face sitting right above the soft skin of her neck. She tensed up. Was he going to kill her? Was he showing mercy? She had no clue. She softened a bit after he had stopped and let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he sunk his teeth into her neck. She let out a hallowing shriek, one she didn’t know she could do. How could his teeth go through her skin so easily?

Amidst the excruciating pain, she felt him start to suck. Wait…she’s heard about this before. A creature with pale skin, sharp fangs, and a desire for blood. But it was surely just a myth…right?

He only had one of the three qualities though. His hair a chestnut brown and his skin a fine caramel. But he had eyes a shade of scarlet and teeth sharper than blades, not to mention he stood a whopping 6’9 ft.

He sunk his teeth deeper, cueing another hair-raising scream. His talons dug into your wrists, instantly causing bruising. Blood started to spill from the open wound on your neck, painting the white roses red. He retracted his fangs and sat up, staring into her eyes as he licked the remaining blood off of his upper lip. There was still some blood on his chin, but she wasn’t going to tell him that. Actually she felt quite faint. A lot of blood had been drawn and the pure shock alone could send her into a coma any minute.

She felt her eyelids get heavy as blood drew from her face, a white cast bestowed upon her skin. He started to take notice of her drowsy expression. He said one word to her. “Rest.” That was the last thing she heard before she fell unconscious, drifting off into a far away land in her head.

༺♥༻

He watched the girl as she lie numb. Her head shifting to the right as her body relaxed. He hadn’t planned to knock her out, but he couldn’t help himself. Her blood was so delectable, like the blood of a new born, or someone who had never been ill. Goodness, he wanted more. He bit down on his wrist, fighting his aggressive temptations. He stood up, staring down at the body in front of him.

She was beautiful. Breathtaking even. If he were human, he would definitely court her as his own. Oh wait…if he were human. Flashbacks of her terrified face flashed through his mind. How could someone like her love a monster like him? His eyes trailed to the bite mark his fangs left on her warm neck. Oh to get another taste before disappearing into the night. He fought himself again, he didn’t want to kill her to fuel his own hunger.

The screams. He knew someone must’ve heard them. He had to hurry to return her to her chambers. He looked back down at her, admiring her beauty. He suddenly heard motion in the palace. This was his cue to escape, but he was not in favor of leaving her lying outside, for fear of another vampire finding her.

He put his hands under upper back and her knee, like a groom carrying a bride. He walked slowly through the field, each step making the roses around him wither. He saw what looked to be her room, the one he had been briefly watching her from. With one step back, he leaped onto the balcony. Pushing back the curtains, he approached her canopy bed. He carefully placed her down on the silk sheets, crossing her arms over her chest. He towered over her resting body, her breathing playing as music through his ears.

It felt like the first time he saw her, at her father’s gathering, which was just another silly event for him to boast about his political success. He still remembers that night, you stood on the side, sipping Claret and Hock wine. Your gown as ravishing as always.

Unexpectedly, fast footsteps were heard around the door. A guard bursts through it, pointing his index finger at the brunette. “Hey!”, he shouts, motioning to the intruder that stands over the woman. The vampire sprints towards the balcony, hopping onto the railing. He glances back at the sleeping woman, taking a final mental image, before dashing off into the night.

I wrote this during school so like it’s kinda rushed, but if y’all want a part 2 or a flashback to the gathering then I’ll be more than happy to serve.😛

imma compress all my td2023 season two thoughts into one post, so spoilers below particularly for the final four/five episodes

Okay so, I can't be the only one who's super tired of Caleb by the end of the season, right? Like, no, I don't dislike him as a character necessarily, hell, we didn't have much to go off of for a GOOD while, and I'm certainly glad they actually gave him some substance. But like...really? Putting him in the FINALE? Extending his arc so long that it keeps PRIYA in until the final FOUR?? It just makes them both feel like they overstayed their welcome, especially when people like Damien, Zee and Raj got shafted in favour of their plotline, which was ultimately super exhausting compared to others. It also just felt a little...off, especially for Caleb's teammates in the finale basically being "Team Not Julia," that just felt...so sad. And not in a way that was really earned since he was super wishy-washy for the latter half of the game, especially after Damien was eliminated. Like girl how can you go from having nothing to having too much?? What is this, rags to riches? And just to get all of the kinda low points of the season IMO:

Damien was just straight up robbed, and his elimination left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth?? Like there ain't no way DAMIEN would be dumb enough and/or not paranoid enough to NOT take the idol with him to elimination, like, ON HIS PERSON. I don't care that it was hidden at the campfire, there is no way anyone with his personality, especially after saying he moves the damn thing like four times a day, would NOT KEEP IT ON HIM DURING THE CEREMONY!! That's just an unnecessary risk and it got him taken out. Also, Priya voting him out made DOUBLE no sense, like I get Wayne and Raj being sentimental and all but why would Priya vote him over someone else?? I'm still not over Zee's elimination either. Like, yeah, I get why, he spilled a bunch of tea about everybody, but did they just FORGET THE FIRST AND ARGUABLY MOST IMPORTANT BIT OF TEA??? THAT CALEB WAS FUCKING WITH PRIYA'S HEAD??? Why did they spare him of that? Caleb should've gotten more fucking consequences for not updating Zee on the development, especially when you made him PROMISE NOT TO SAY ANYTHING!!! However, there's a lot of good stuff too that I absolutely adored about the later episodes:

MK and Julia's farewell felt really fitting, even if I felt MK should've stayed over her, plus the hug??? the mutual respect??? Chef's commentary???? real. Raj and Wayne continue to be completely endearing, both with Raj's elimination and Wayne's obvious love and care for him even when he's not there. I mean FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, his worst fear at the time was having to compete AGAINST Raj instead of with him!!! How precious is that?? Plus the HUG????? RAJ'S FAREWELL?????? EVERYTHING ABOUT IT HAS ME SO GIDDY MAN!! "Bowie, get your dancing shoes!" me, being buried in a pile of the hearts swirling around my head and also just, Bowie in the finale being an icon, as usual, even if he isn't competing. His friendship with Wayne as a result of his relationship with Raj and how he's adapted to their ways of thinking is SO!!!!! GAH!!!!!! HE LEARNED THE HOCKEY TALK!!!!! IM WEAK!!!!!! And everyone on Wayne's team being so genuinely happy to support him, especially those I genuinely would not have expected to be there (Axel, Ripper, Chase) but when I think about it, it makes PERFECT sense, and I'm just,,, AGH!!!!! And while the final three and winner may not have been my first choices, I am ultimately pleased with the ending. Wayne winning makes up for the exhaustion of other plotlines in the season, and really, he played fair and square and won. Much as I wanted Julia to win, I'm glad he did.

now that ive actually seen all the episodes I'm gonna be,,, insane and reblog so much td stuff because obviously, so,, AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO ASK ME MORE QUESTIONS FEEL FREE!!! I WOULD LOVE TO TALK MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT MY THOUGHTS OF THE SEASON!!

[pienhime]

atp i think the world is just telling me ive overstayed my welcome too long and need to get it on with tbh

[epikonionman]

UUggh I COULD do Milenko and then jeckel bros but I wanna vent my frustrations and other things about Bang! Pow! Boom!

Intro. Obviously 10/10, intro freebie and what not, kaboom bang pow cleansing. Though i am wondering why hes cleansing them, clearly its unknown if theyre bad yet, why explode sinners as well as possible good people, stupid spiky explosive.

Beautiful Doom. I am aware that this song is a mashup of like 3 different songs and what not but oh dear does this song really send me on a rollercoaster. Especially from freaky creep show to the clowns are back. But a fine song overall. 6.8/10, would give it a 7 but i didnt feel like it.

In Yo Face. A fine song, nothing noteworthy particularly, i do like the instrumental, its a good saving grace for it. 5/10, no good instrumental can save a facial and/or acidic pie attack threat.

The bone. I do like the background whateverthefuck stringed instrument, im gonna say guitar or bass because thats broad enough. Though, the song is extremely repetitive. Its just killed a guy, he got the bone, heres another way i punched a dude. Though, i will appreciate the extra beats when it’s mentioned he ran over some dude with a golf cart. 7.5/10, another mediocre song, has some fun parts, and by that i mean guy getting mowed down by golf cart.

Zombie Slide. Wake the dead. Wake the dead. Wake the dead up. Wake the dead. I adore this song and i really dont know why, the first few times i listened to this id just zone out during this and mainly only listen out for its awesome transition into to catch a predator. But i do like this song, its one of the few things ive got a soft spot for: the living dead. 8/10, this will be my fate when i die, this including the headless boogie will be on my kicked-the-bucket list.

To catch a predator. I love this song, i love chris hansen’s sting operations, and i love j butchering predators.While i do love the song, i do feel like it overstays its welcome. Like after a certain point the whole “im probably gonna burn for this” part doesn’t feel the same as it did earlier in the song. But i still do like this song and think its one of the best on this album. 8.5/10

Boing Boing. Imagine if lil somthin somthin just sounded stinky. It just isnt my thing. I know it has its fans, everything does. But i sure as hell am not one of them. 4/10, only because i got to hear about their asses, J’s and Shaggy’s to be specific.

I Found A Body. Before i even say anything, this is the gay version of cemetary girl, maybe the loon in cemetary girl realized hes bicurious. Now to the song, its fine. I dont mind it, i like the instrumental slightly, i also dont like how most of the vocals are said, like low and building to high for a good chunk of it. 6/10, for the gay necro represenation (Even though there are better groups to represent.)

Love. I like how the song sounds, i adore the instrumental. But lord are these lyrics very rape-y. Either that or it makes yandere icp canon. 6.5/10. Like the instrumental, the lyrics not nearly as much.

Fonz Pond. I like this song, its one of the few songs that i would willingly listen to  in this album. It has a good instrumental, some pretty awesome lyrics. 9/10, love ponds, and you, yes you better not be a baby pussy about it and come with me.

Imma Kill You. Fine. The lyrics flow well, the beat is nice to listen to. This is what i imagine non icp fans see their whole discography as. 7/10, i will be clapping my enemies’ balls with two bricks.

Juggalo Island. I don’t like this song. I can’t really explain why, but whenever i listen to this song i feel a mixture of disgust and anger. I really just don’t like its sound. 4/10, caused me a whole list of side effects, each of them dehydrating me in some way.

Vultures. Badabadumdumbadumdadey we are the vultures feed on the dead. Vultures is FINE. Theres some parts i like, but most of it feels very bland. But its not terrible. 5/10

Vera Lee. The beginning part i never liked, i grew on me eventually. Ever since then ive grown fond of this song. It sounds nice, ever so slightly tragic and overall is just enjoyable. Yippee. 7.3/10

Miracles. Not the biggest fan of this song, it has some nice enough lyrics. The instrumental is my main problem. Very similar throughout, but still has a nice sound. Feels like a massage from a masseuse who has slightly too long of nails. 7.8/10, GoTtA lOvE mOtHeRfUcKiNg MiRaClEs ThOuGh :o)

Bang! Pow! Boom! I like this song a lot, i like its instrumental. I like the lyrics. Its just fun, fun fun fun. I wish i could blow up sinners in ass nevada. One could only wish… Overall a fun song that i would gladly flop on the deck like a fish to. 8/10, you didnt hear this from me, but… they say the show is the bomb.. Heard its even straight explosive.. Maybe call it napalm..

Bonus tracks :o)

Over a Bitch. I like the instrumental, or beat I guess, it's mostly beats. Quite the tragic tale might I add. No one likes to hear their girl is being buttfucked by their so-called friend. 6/10, only because our hero is the better version of this tale.

Our Hero. Gotta love the other patients being jovial over the goulash, corn, kool-aid, and cookies!!! The instrumental is better than OaB, has fun-er? Lyrics than the other. He’s quite the intelligent hero too, placing his own doings on some rick the dick. Good on him, a good way to teach people not to fuck a killer’s bitch, and to keep your dumb dick in your dumb pants. Remember fellas, you're better off, beating off. 7/10.

Chop Chop Slide. It's like the cha-cha slide, except there are no cliffhangers. We never even got a part two to that. This is why any songs that sound similar to this, aren't as good as the best. Juggalos, what is our signal?

Supernatural. Kinda like that one show. The song is fine, kinda like if J was Jesus and decided to freeze water instead of getting dudes buzzed. 5/10, I see why this was but a bonus track. Nothing noteworthy.

Tonight. I like the instrumental for this song. Nothing better than some sparkly-sounding thingies. Gotta also love getting some fine honeys. How fun. Not much else to say. It’s a sex song. 6/10

It’s All Over. This song, oh this song. I adore this song, it sounds fun. I love the feeling of everything being legitimately hopeless, there's hail, fires, tornadoes, and other shit. A good thing to listen to late at night when you are feeling particularly good about anything in the world. I also recommend the music video for this song. It's (likely) unintentionally wacky, only because of the dodgy effects, which is exactly why I recommend it. 7/10, I would as well like to see the world end rather than begin.
