Yeah I'm totally normal about the Layers of Fear couple

[zerachielamora]

FAM I'M WITH YOU THERE I PLAYED THE GAME OVER 3 TIMES AND I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND IF I ALSO ADDRESS YOUR LONG TAGS LIST AHAHA

-The extra voice acting for the old notes and the new notes are so good! Lots of extra info for the Painter and his family I LOVE IT

-Ghost wife's new design is very melty, I think I prefer her old twitchy one but this one is still creepy as fuck

-Yeah Idk why the Rat Queen called the daughter a rat out of the blue there? Does she hate her? Hard to say haha

-So cute that the Wife/Musician also played the flute and loves the color green! But yeah, she definitely has brown eyes in her portraits (not to mention the game art for 2023 has her with brown eyes too so far as I know that's canon lmao I mean the Painter has brown eyes as well)

-The Actor's gloves are pretty cool

-The Writer is great! I love her, I should draw her sometime but rn I have Painter/his family brainrot

-Yeah the 'just leave the house' endings for the Painter and the Wife I found bizarre, especially since his ending where he did that had no dialogue or whatever? Like cmon give us something haha but I suppose they're supposed to be like 'joke endings' or something?

-I'M STILL BAFFLED THEY CHANGED HOW MR. SCOOTER LOOKED?? LIKE THEY EVEN LEFT IN THE OLD DESIGN AT SOME PARTS I DON'T GET IT (also salty he doesn't meow in Inheritance)

-"I loved him the most when he lost himself" like dude the Rat Queen is so effing creepy and her talking about the painter is like BRUH

-I'M DOWN WITH THE LOVECRAFTIAN SHIT tho I'm still unsure who we're supposed to think the Director is, been trying to find that out ever since 2 came out (I have a number of theories but any of them could work)

-DUDE SAME I WANTED TO KNOW HOW THE PAINTER AND WIFE CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE RAT QUEEN AND MADE CONTRACTS WITH HER! Also did they know about each other's contracts or just their own?

-OMG the agency I made a possible theory about this the other day! I was thinking how in the Final Note that the Wife mentions going abroad to see her family and the agency was formed after her suicide, and the contest had a bunch of American writers in it, so I'm thinking she has family over in America? Either way if her family started the foundation/agency that started the contest that means her family knows about the Rat Queen!!

Spent the past few days watching Layers of Fear (2023) walkthroughs

It’s botw’s birthday and I think we should all be very loud about Wild and what a cool guy he is

Happy birthday champion! 🎉

Look at him go!!! what a guy <3

[chumett]

Lucanis had forgotten how to live life fully. Part of him wondered if he ever truly knew how. He was a Crow, Caterina's grandson, and the expectations on his shoulders were heavy. He didn't so much live as he was molded, stealing little moments of frivolity in between, often with the consequence of punishment.

Then the Ossuary.

Then Spite.

But Erie? His Rook? His tesora? She was like the breathing embodiment of living. A little bit of gold to brighten up his dark purple hue. She brought fun back into his life. She brought happiness. Pleasure.

Oh, she was a selfish woman, and she was teaching him how to be a selfish man.

She was his.

He loved her.

i love my big squishmellow <33

People who are "recovering" from antishipping are so weird

Like what are you recovering from being hot and sexy? You didn't want to get any bitches but got too many as an antishipper? You don't want a shitton of bitches so you became a proshipper?

[devotedlystrangewizard]

ive reached the ending of the game twice and both times were a mourn watcher romancing emmrich if youre wondering how im doing. "whats the difference" well one of them was a warrior with solavellan & the other one a full mage necromancer with pavellan.

[theydoctor]

There are some enlistment posters among them, which. yk. it would be kinda weird to have a poster proclaiming "fight for king and country - enlist today!" hanging in your room, but it's not like i think it's a good thing, i just fkng adore those replicas for portraying my special interest, if that makes sense. anyway pls vote <3

[shathanns]

Well Initially i was thinking about romancing Lucanis but i did saved Minrathous over Treviso

Broke my heart to see Antiva like that but Im commited to the Role 😤

Davrin has my whole heart 😍😍😍

[erinwantstowrite]

sometimes i think about the fact that ao3 authors could be anyone anywhere.

what if i got my haircut today by THE lof erin? what if lof erin made my coffee today? what if i made lof erin's coffee today? its just such a weird thing to think about even when i know it makes sense

i rarely get to leave my house lately cause of car issues but when i DO go out i have heard people talking about LoF. like one time i went to my old high school to get smth from an old teacher and some students were just. talking about my fic and they had no idea i was right there... it was jarring, changed my perspective. in my eyes YOU guys are the ones that are lurking... chilling around every corner...

another time it was my friend's friend who was talking about a fic they were reading to our mutual friend, and she was sitting there for a while like "this sounds familiar..." because i had rambled about my fic to her before. she said it finally clicked when her friend was talking about chapter 7, and she sat there for a few minutes wondering how to tell her. as it turns out, the friend of my mutual? WENT TO SCHOOL WITH ME. so when they finally DID start talking about it, i got a call from this person i had kind of sort of talked to in high school and the first thing they said was "bitch you never told me you had ao3!"

Part 2 Here: (w/Aventurine, Acheron & Boothill)

Part 3 Here: (w/Sunday & Black Swan)

- Main love languages is gift giving & acts of service

- Whenever he’s on a mission and sees something that reminds him of you he immediately buys it

- As for acts of service well he’ll help you out all the time, cooking, cleaning, opening the door for you etc.

- A quieter person also, but blade enjoys just sitting there and listening to you ramble on about life

- Most times you do a bunch of things and then blade follows you around like a little lost puppy… Its adorable

- Cuddles are not uncommon but not common either-it really depends on blades current mood for if he decides to cuddle with you (or if you ask him 100 times)

- Blade gets both Jealous & Possessive quite easily

- All it takes is one look from a man, not even suggestively, even if it’s looking at you for 0.5 of a second, blade is already on their throats

- It did depend on who you prefer to date, if you only like males he’s a little less jealous around women, although if you like both he’d ready to murder everyone in the world

- Blade doesn’t show much emotion, often you can’t figure out what he’s thinking

- His favourite date spots include picnic dates or small cafe dates

- Remember he’s a wanted criminal so he can’t go anywhere too public, that said he dislikes PDA a lof

- Blade would rather keep any affections between the two of you only, not even for the other stellaron hunters to see

- Some gifts Blade gives you include souvenirs from different worlds he goes to, a sword to protect yourself (if you need it) and some cute stuffed animals he saw that reminded him of you

- Hes the quiet type in the relationship most of the time

- Likes affection in private, but in public he loves kisses (on the cheek, or small kisses on his lips), hugs or even holding hands

- Cuddles are his favourite, he doesn’t care too much in who hugs who

- Especially loves physical touch & giving you gifts

- Its adorable seeing your face light up when he gives you something

- You both have a shared room in the express so most of the time you both just cuddle while you sleep

- Loves forehead kisses, especially when you give them-it makes him blush every single time

- During the trailblaze mission of the Luofu he tried avoiding you in his Imbibitor Lunae form (but he knows he can’t hide forever and you guys have to fight together so you end up seeing it)

- His tail gives away his emotions away whenever hes in that form (its adorable)

- Oh and March is your #1 shipper

- Shes gotten a lot of pictures of the two of you when you guys weren’t looking

- Robin is similar to the other two, fairly quiet in the relationship

- As a popular singer you attend all of her concerts and help give her some luck

- As well as calm her nerves when needed

- Loves cuddling! Its her favorite pastime (small spoon)

- Physical touch means a lot to her, cuddling, handholding, hugging, anything

- In public Robin loves holding your hand, keeping you close to her

- In private, she enjoys cuddling you, hugs again, but she adores when you touch her wings (watch her get all flustered from that)

- Also enjoys giving you gifts

- Many of her fans adore you, some are very jealous though…

- Speaking of jealousy she doesn’t get too jealous-if you spend too long ignoring her though she’ll start sulking just a little bitbit

- Her fans are definitely jealous at you both, they wish they were in your place all of the time

- You’ve met Sunday plenty of times, the first time you both met he threatened you if anything happens to her

- But he understands how much his sister loves you and ends up accepting you

- When Robin “dies” in the Penacony dreamscape you and Sunday teamup to find the murderer as the ultimate duo

- Of course he makes you do most of the labor

- In the end, you end up like Sunday when you both confront Gallagher

- Jingliu adores her partner

- Naturally, the other 4 members of the quintet love you aswell-you often hangout with eachother

- Jing Yuan tells you stories about Jingliu on missions, Yinqing is quiet yet you both chat about smaller things like food or tea, Dan Feng is most likely the busiest out of the 4

- Around the Quintet Jingliu doesn’t mind if you hug her, hold her waist, hold hands or even kiss

- Most likely she’ll have her arm around your waist to keep you close

- Other than the quintet, she generally doesn’t do any actions of PDA except hand holding (+ an occasional kiss)

- She actually isn’t a jealous person, even if she is (which never happens), shes great at hiding how she truly feels

- With her, you’ll wake up to her arms around you, forcing you to sleep and stay with her longer

- One adorable thing she does is she always kisses you on the forehead before leaving for a mission

- As she returns from a mission, she is often tired and loves to cuddle you

- In those moments shes a small spoon-but usually Jingliu perfers being the big spoon

Does anyone actually want me to post the Layers of Fear removed content or does no one care-

[radical-rigatoni1]

What the hell is in this fanfiction?? I fckin animated??? What the shell man what did you and alighterwood put in that @erinwantstowrite

Ramblings, 80% unimportant 20% abt the video

Remembered how fun lip synching in and remembered how frustrating lip synching is. Some words, one go bam bam. Some... not so much.

Also erin ignore the ask i sent you ignore itttt i needed that for this but then realized YOUR PROFILE PICTURE! 0 for me- 1 for noticing obvious things. Maybe more. Lost track 15 years ago

. Also i know i keep putting peter's little jacket on but i am having trouble with drawing arms without fabric and i know its technically he does have fabric but i mean LOSE fabric. If i take it off that would make me lose motivation way sooner if i was just like "UGH THIS DOESNT LOOK RIGHT!!!!" 24/7. I have learned to just go fck it, as long as i have fun the lip sync looks good and i get my main idea across... good enough but im still TRYING to hit myself w that mindset doesnt mean it'll switch immediately 😭👍 still thats gonna be my new mindset for the year....midway through. I would love to say im gonna shut up right now but at this point we both know im not really gonna.

ALSO, I HAVE SOMRTHING SLIGHTLY PLANNED for LOF again, so mayb possibly more fanart. No guarantee bcs im on the fence about how it'll look and how much I'll like it once i get that idea on paper. It's about the new chapter 😌 Dink and Peter are really sweet. I liked that they were both rly awkward on how to take the next step. Eager to, but not entirely sure in the other's stance. It's nice from both POVs ❤️❤️ once again. The writing in that fic is beautiful

Quadruple also!!!! I wanted to put more stuff around where peter was by the graves but then my titi's came by and i completely forgot the crazy idea i was grasping on to and had to scrap. I think it was super crazy though and my limited animation skills can only do so much before my brain turns to mush.

Quintuple also!!! YEAH!

[mewguca]

heres some benefactor doodles from class ig

first pictured is Nine Moonlit Melodies, Shifting Tides

here's NNMST sharing ideaswith No Cost Too Great

and then the guy on the right is NMMST's friend, Legacy Of Vestiges Long Since Passed (her name is subject to change tbh)

ramblings under cut ig

i was thinking about the beginnings of the mobile iterator project tm

for reference, NMMST -> SLS and LVLSP -> LOF

LVLSP met NCTG while she was snooping around abandoned buildings as he tends to do its like one of his hobbies. anyways one of those buildings happened to be an old lab that was sorta hidden away on the surface and it happened to belong to NCTG. unfortunately they're not a fan of trespassing so they threatened to kill LVLSP unless he gave them a good idea for a Project with a lot of "potential" and he was like "uhhhhhh well ACTUALLY my friend has a GREAT idea" and so our silly little team begins to form

anyways i know i dont talk much about my ocs outside of rp but

My current upload structure is "fuck it we ball"

hey guys this is from november 13th and i forgot to upload it whoopsies

GHHHRRFF,,,, 101 NOTES RRATAYYAYAYAYA THANK U SO MUAJJJJ 🧎🧎🧎🧎❤️‍🔥

HOLY SJISEJSHAUHS 52 NOTES ON MY KAEYA ALBERiCH??? TYANK U SO MUCHHHH 🦅🦅🦅💐💐💐💐💐💐❤️‍🔥

[iloveyoudie]

thinking about Alan Wake 2 in both the actual literal timeline (how did this happen and when and what the timeline is) but also in a bigger sense - what all lof this says about creativity and mental health...

I truly relate to Saga's experience in the dark place! As soon as I saw her mapping out her own fears and doubts - managing them in a LOGICAL way so as to not invalidate them - but accept them and move on. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. And this is also how my brain works. She doesn't 'defeat' Other Saga because that darkness is inside everyone, but she logically breaks it down that no - its not the end and I can do better and these doubts are not the definition of me. It's really important o say - yes this one thing is true but so is this other thing and THATS OKAY AND BOTH CAN EXIST AT ONCE.

Meanwhile - proclaimed 'manic depressive Alan Wake has been broken in two and his worst fears doubts and angers are POWERFUL AND REAL and he has never been able to move aside from those emotions to logically work out that it was all just HIM THE WHOLE TIME. 13 years his greatest villain - stalker of his life - was just a version of himself.

And as a writer I do think it's nifty to put a face on the 'other' part of our creative self. Mr. Scratch hasn't just been terrorizing... hes also been writing (but again - hes just Alan) BUT ALSO anyone I know who is a writer has multiple versions of their writing self. I have NIGHT ANGE and DAY ANGE. And night ange is UNHINGED and rambling and daring and dirty... and Day Ange? She has to reread and revise and add the SENSE to things and tie them together. Many of my writer friends have similar angles and personas to their writing life. We aren't insane.. we're just creatives that have to reconcile all of these angles of ourselves.

Alan isn't able to. NOT YET. But Alice know - cause she's his wife and knows him and his method better than anyone and will be able to steer him in her way to help him get out of this. ALSO AS A MARRIED PERSON I FEEL THIS. I am tuned in to my husband like no one else. Even when he can't see the steps he's taking to improve, I can. I dont know.. ITS A LOT AND ITS SO MEANINGFUL.

ANYWAY. I don't know. It speaks to me so much about the self and creativity and how our mental state can take us to dark places and creating through all of it AND JUST WANTING TO SLEEP but the story dear god the story has to go on and get out.

God I love this fucking franchise so much.
