A prequel to my last post :)))

However this time I shall not explain the far away person, because that would spoil the lore

I will say that I like the way I did the lamp tho! Damn the angle with Syll(right) was difficult

Also! I'm unsure if I'd like to go the horror route with this series let me know what y'all think! (if you haven't seen my art before, i call it this because I would like to make these OCS into some form of media :D this specific part is called griffin division)

Love y'all ✌️☺️

Okay guys, hear me out:

Sea Serpent Hobie!!!

Sea Serpent Hobie who sinks any superyachts he comes across!

Sea Serpent Hobie who uses harpoon spears meant to kill him as piercings! And old anchor chains as jewelry!

Sea Serpent Hobie who attacks big commercial fishing boats that are destroying the ecosystem by overfishing

But also benign Sea Serpent Hobie, who aids those lost at sea!

Who helps smaller local fishing buisnesses with sustainable fishing

Who looks out for this small fishing community and in return they warn him whenever hunters show up in the area!

Sea Serpent Hobie who is huge but still manages to hide perfectly in the kelp forests!

Who has bioluminescence and uses it both to terrify enemies and as a way to calm down people in distress, as a way for him to signal goodwill - and to show off when he feels like it!

Who can change his pigmentation similarly to octopi to communicate his mood and feelings! Or just to blend in with his surroundings (also as a nod to the way he changes filters in the movie!)

Sea Serpent Hobie who's frequently seen swimming with whale pods- Orcas being his favourites to hang out with (they sometimes go on yacht sinking trips together)

Sea Serpent Hobie who likes to give people a show and will show off by breaching right next to unsuspecting boats

DO YOU SEE MY VISION?!??

SEA SERPENT HOBIE!!!!!!💙💙💙

hi again

the jonsa heir theory is something ive been going back and forth on, one hand it goes with the bittersweet ending and reversal jonnel/sansa I parallels at the same time sansa's inheritance only being valid by a heir feels a bit like cheating, elizabeth the first type ending also struck my mind for her,what are your thoughts?

I genuinely don’t think Sansa’s inheritance will be valid only if she produces an heir. I think it has more to do with the fact that she’s the oldest Stark. Sure fertility plays a role in succession but I don’t feel like she’ll need to produce an heir by the age of 14 to be declared the lady of Winterfell. “Winterfell belongs to my sister Sansa” regardless of whether she has babies or not. On top of that, how is George going to present a 14 year old child bride having a child herself in a good light. It goes directly against what he tried to show with Dany. It’s the same thing as Bran though. How is he going to present a good 11 year old king when he tried to do the opposite with Joffrey. I still bite my teeth over why George had to scrap the five year gap.

I, too, like an Elizabeth I type of ending. A will set aside. Someone deposed someone and then themselves died to make Elizabeth the last Tudor monarch. I will take that over 14 year old Sansa having a baby.

so I was just thinking about that meme where it’s like “Jessica how could you sleep with your biology teacher” and my biology teacher in high school literally looked like live action burnt out adult jimmy neutron. He also really liked telling us fun facts about the digestive system like we would just be sitting there and he would just out of nowhere be like “do you guys wanna know why some farts are warm” and we’re all just like no thanks but he ignores us and tells us anyways. Once he was telling us his theory about how cavemen came from angels or whatever (being forced to learn about evolution in religious school things) and obviously me and my friends stoped paying attention to him the moment he started speaking and decided to draw borzois with highlighters instead. The ‘punishment’ for this was that he made the whole class watch these maggot removal videos which were basically like wow this kid has so many maggots in their ear. Oh and this was right before lunch too! So yeah I failed biology that year loll

top 10 most anticipated indie games!

in no particular order, not affiliated with any of em, etc etc

of the Devil

so, funny story. i had some fanart of this game set as my phone background when i went to get a new phone. check it out here! anyway, the cleric who only really plays ff14 looked at it and went "woah, what's that? it looks like danganronpa." and i was like. yeah buddy! sure does! then, of course, i began proselytizing, about how the game's demo did an amazing job at establishing not only the game's wonderfully directed art style, with the ui and the music and everything else working together to make a perfectly opressive cyberpunk atmosphere, but how the writing of the mystery and morgans character is so intriguing and compelling and auuuugh i wanna play this fucking game dude. i love morgans smile i hope she makes me eat a bomb

2. UNBEATABLE

so imagine muse dash, but instead of high-contrast anime girls and dubious dlc practices, it's just punk as fuck. theres nothing i can say about the game other than linking the side-story/demo and telling you to just go with the flow and dig the vibes. the soundtrack rocks hard, and the visuals are so well done. everything looks like a poster collage for a garage band youve never heard of. also the trailer for the full game showed off a graffiti mechanic and thats all i need

3. Demonschool

i talked about demonschool a lot back in my nextfest post, and my thoughts havent changed at all. im a slut for strategy rpgs, and a big reason for that is i like planning my moves in advance and seeing what the best use of all my ally's abilities are. so the game's mechanic of the shared ability meter that you use for multiple moves over one turn, plus the ability to rewind moves before committing to them, AND the high level of combo potential in everything's interactivity? pumped as hell. there was recently a dev update about how you can light yourself on fire and spread that damage to the environment with every attack if that helps sell you

4. Roman Sands RE:Build

i dont need to say shit. just look at it. LOOK at it. this is so ridiculously catered to my tastes on presentation alone that i cant even come up with a hyperbolic simile. its y2k dreamcast beach artstyle, its time loop with routing optimization, its arbitrary celestial puzzle with unexplained mechanics, its stupid gomotion noodle people, its abstract nonsense that is actively and literally hostile towards the player for trying to understand it. im gonna CUM dude

5. Sorry We're Closed

how often do you see a fixed-camera shooter about a woman with three eyes? the fucking atmosphere, man. even from the demo i can tell that a la mode knows what theyre doing. i love how there isnt like, a limit or meter on your third eye, thats something i can easily see another game doing. but the downsides of only being able to hurt enemies in range AND having to aim at their weak spots is already a good balance to encourage you to switch it up. its so deliciously frictional that you have to go in first person to attack anything, and theres a delay when you do it so youve gotta be really cautious and defensive. and oh man, the cleaver enemy! that was so tense, and so much of that was from the expert audio design that made it so unclear how close he is or where exactly he is, just that hes getting closer. im gonna lose my shit about this game when the full thing drops. fun fact: this releases tomorrow, so this is literally the last day that i can post this. oops!

6. .45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND

how often do you see a fixed-camera shooter about a woman with three eyes? ive never played parasite eve, which this is purported to be a spiritual successor to, but the action seems really interesting. sukeban's website explains it like this: "you move and dodge in real time while you wait for an Action bar to fill at a speed determined by character and weapon stats. Once that’s done you can then stop time and plan your offensive". that sounds stupidly fun. judging by the trailers and shit, theres gonna be a big focus on combo chains and your character having multiple attacks she can switch between, but theres not much i can really say about that until theres a demo or something.

7. YIIK: A Postmodern RPG (Update I.V)

i know an update is cheating a bit, but ackk studios considers it to be a thorough enough reimagining that it almost constitutes a sequel. if you havent played the demo then you should give it a shot. my only experience with yiik before it was secondary, through discussions and lets play compilations, and i was totally blown away. the combat was totally reworked, so instead of those repetitive and drawn-out minigames its a way more engaging system where you can use "karta" as defensive shields with passive buffs or sacrifice them for spells. its one of those things that sounds weird and complicated when you explain it, but in gameplay it just kinda clicks. it also seemed to double down on he surrealism and abstract psychological themes, which is my fucking jam. i think missed potential is the worst flaw something can have, so hearing that yiik is growing into its most flawless form is exciting as hell

8. FreeJack Online

unfortunately, i found out about this game about a month after its last online playtest. the dev's discord says they wont reopen unless they find a publisher, and theyre not sure if thats gonna happen reasonably soon. but secondhand, this game looks like a killer time. you guys know im super into this hip hop skatepunk urban style, so even if the gameplay is total shit ill still be all over the ost and character design. but this gameplay doesnt look like shit! you build up trick combos and that contributes to your speed as you parkour around and try to win races. its been a while since ive sunk myself in a competitive online game and i think thisll be what gets me back into it, someday

9. Hyper Light Breaker

yknow im kinda surprised this list hasnt been more roguelikes considering how much i play em. hlb looks like its aiming for an interesting combo of roguelike and open-world, and im really interested in how that shakes out. the combat looks like a really good transition of the speedy high-stakes fighting from hld into 3d. im really hopeful for this game, especially everything heart machine is going through with gearbox and the fanbase backlash for the delays.

10. The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

im saying this counts as indie because im in denial. so, i mentioned how the phone clerk guy was a danganronpa fan, right? he played all the mainline games, and even got into zero escape looking for more (he played VLR before 999? lmao) but he had no idea what too kyo games was. never heard of Death Come True, or Akudama Drive, or World's End Club, or Rain Code, or Tribe Nine. really goes to show how much publicity matters, huh? anyway, in case you couldnt tell, i am a 'fan' of danganronpa. theres a lot you could say about it, like how the writing is juvenile and contrarian and how it consistently struggles to write unpredictable mysteries despite this and also how kodaka just fundamentally fails at writing minorities and the pacing issues and flat characters and... you get it. but its never boring. and considering they officially hired the guy who wrote the spin-off novel where kirigiri gets cloned into a houseplant, i feel like its just gonna get less boring from here

look at this shit. im along for the ride at this point

[lupinedreaming]

Should be sleeping but I’m currently having some pretty damn detailed, explicit thoughts rn about giving Bishop head + praise kink with him 🫣

[rodgerrodger]

shout out to op of the phee/tech & pixal/zane post cause now I can't stop thinking about the parallels between Tech and Zane deaths like

both of their initial plans failed. For Zane and the ninja it was in using the pill on the Overlord don't ask sjdbjsjs For Tech and the Bad Batch it was in placing a tracker on Hemlock's ship. Both plans failing due to another's interference.

They then had only one option, an act of self sacrifice for the sake of their loved ones well in Zane's case for the sake of the city as well but we're ignoring that bit for rn. Zane dies. His loved ones grieved. But he is able to return and continue on. Tech dies. His loved ones grieve. There's a chance that he, like Zane, will be able to return and continue on.

so yea, very similar deaths. both causing me emotional distress :)

[k20spock]

Oh Ok I See Why The Princess Game Makes You Insane. just reading abt it made me sit here looking at my screen for a good bit just thinking about it. holy shit.

this fucking game. there are so many little things about it that make me lose my mind all over again and I cannot stop thinking about it. It’s so. aughhhh

[helpimtrappedinthetextbox]

A book about a Teen/Young Adult detective who's currently trying to solve a recent string of murders, none of them seem to have a common link, and not many come forward to say anything about the victims

The said Detective is also currently seeing a therapist to work through the recent death of their parents, who were killed in a hit and run, the perpetrator was never found

The twist? The killer was the Therapist, killing their patients's abusers/rpists/aggressive stalkers/ect. The Therapist always makes sure that their patient has a solid and sound alibi so they can never be accused

And it's not just for any patients with the occasional minor bully, it's for those that can't get away, those who were hurt so badly they can barely function now.

How was the Therapist found out? The Detective found their Parents killer. It was a real bad guy, the Detective told their Therapist about it. The Therapist helps them digest the news then suggests to the Detective that it would probably be best for them to spend the upcoming weekend on themselves, making sure they were with friends and loved ones while they're still dealing with this news.

Only, the Detective didn't, even tho they said they would. And they go out after the Guy, only to find their Therapist standing over the dead body of their Parents' killer. The Therapist, mildly disheveled, rubs a hand through their hair and says smth like "Oh, hello. I thought you were spending the weekend with friends and family."

The ending is a bit up in the air, its either the Therapist in court saying Yes they did kill these people, here's a full list of Who and Why

Or

It ends with the Defective joining a group session with all the other Patients that the Therapist helped, saying that they're free to not want to continue the sessions or turn in the Therapist if they so choose, but the Detective had already made up their mind not to, because how could they turn in the person who didn't let their Parents go unavenged

The End :)
