The whole party’s so codependent that this hardly matters anyway but Queerplatonic FabRiz is actually so important to me like all I picture is them at 20 being like Fabian “Hello my future lover, this is my emotional support provider THE BALL, I run most of my decisions past him and lose my mind if he’s not around.” Meanwhile Riz just gets the confirmation he’s actually loved for being a great friend and just the validation that his friendship is as important to someone’s life as a romance partner and also getting to at some point to be Fabian’s Sugarbaby.
#don’t look at me I’m just an aro with a messy bestie projecting on another set because we are like this#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#riz gukgak#fabian seacaster#fabriz#queerplatonic fabriz#zee rambles#don’t buy Adaines diamonds but Fabian would have done it#i genuinely think the reason he’s not the groups sugar daddy is because Brennan said be financial in trouble for plot

This AV Club comment is making me so desperate to write a romcom, you have no idea.
#adventures in writing#the trouble is that the idea begins and ends with 'romcom!'#the same way my desire to write mysteries would be 'they solve a mystery!' and i'd have no idea what the mystery was#there's this idea that keeps niggling me#from back when i was just braindumping potential elements i might want to make use of in an inklings story#and looking back at it later the list elements of 'arranged marriage' and 'rom com' stuck out#as well as a world that involves politics and mermaids#and my brain keeps trying to tell me this is a viable idea while providing zero plot or characters#see the thing about rom coms is that they require detailed characters who need their own arcs#the thing i'm bad at!#so it's hard to fulfill this writing craving because all my brainstorming instincts to start with the plot work against me here

Day 6: Farewell
Imagining it takes Partner a while to feel comfortable letting Hero out of their sight
@heropartnerweek
#Treecko#skitty#pokemon doodles#original art#heropartnerweek#heropartnerweek2024#This prompt wound up giving me the most trouble actually#I can’t for the life of me make a serious piece I’m sorry#Like my original thought was something sad. The actual farewell scene in explorers#But then it’s too sad :(#(and also too much background to draw 😭)#Anyway I don’t think partner would be able to accept hero’s actually BACK quickly#They’re thrilled no doubt#But can totally see them worrying it’s a mistake#Or temporary#checking for signs of that light when hero’s not looking#Going to bed every night praying they’ll still be there in the morning#Trying to live every day like it could be their last together#At least for a while#worst would be if they finally started to relax just before the palkia plot#Like they let their guard down and feel genuinely happy then BAM palkia in your house that night#Telling both of you your existence is destroying the fabric of space#After that can imagine hero really struggling to help partner feel relaxed/happy again#Because LAST time they relaxed they were almost killed#Anyway partner feeling they constantly have to be on guard for the next major catastrophe :(#Lot of pressure for a little pink kitten

they may have built a super advanced robot replica of their dead classmate, but they’re still teenagers!
i put a little too much effort into their matching pfps… so this is testtube and fan at a new year’s party (which may or may not have lead to bot’s creation)
#based off of what i heard from random gossip in nat 5 drama this is what i assume highschool (or in my case secondary school) parties look—#—like which… actually makes the dance i’m going to go to in a few weeks a tad bit intimidating but also i heard that there will be NO—#—ALCOHOL INVOLVED because we’re going to a fancy establishment and we’d probably get in trouble if this school event ended with every teen—#—involved absolutely wasted#not like the organiser of this party had to worry about that..#i actually came up with a few plot points based around this new year’s party but the fan and testtube drunk bet one is probs be the most—#—important one cus like. they made bot lol#(i say this as if i will ever have the motivation to actually post comics for this au that have a plot)#my brain is filled with plotlines i just can’t write ‚em down well lmao#ii bot#ii test tube#ii fan#i(i) guess goo’s there too#fantube#technically?#ii#inanimate insanity

One of the interesting bits of trying to resume working on the game after so long is looking back at my ancient Draft Placeholder versions of an image from 4 yrs ago trying to remember what the hell I meant back then, to hopefully interpret it into some more final (ish..) form of the same thing .. making slow progress lol
#At this point I've decided it's just a consistent design decision to have the sketchy slightly wonky sort of art ghbjj#I simply don't have the digital art skills/tools/patience (mostly that) to do 100% digital things and have a Clean Polished Professional#Neat Looking Perfect Crisp Lines sort of thing like one would see in most games. I'm drawing everything in pencil half decently (not strict#ly making sure every line is straight or that the perspective even makes sense) and then scanning it in and coloring it on the computer#and that's about it. In another world I could hire an artist or two to do professional backgrounds and charcter art or etc. - but as I am#a mere penniless peasant hermit with functioning issues who has to do every aspect of everything themselves - I'm just going to do#what is possible within the time frame/my ability/etc. and then just be like ''ah you see! actually this is intentional~ it has a homemade#crafty hand drawn sort of charm about it - yes? this was the direction all along!!'' LOL#Which for the record I'm not like complaining that it's necssarily Bad or anything - more just I suppose not the Professional Polished#style you Typically see in a lot of things - again the like - sketchy unclean lines of it all.#(like I think usually people use some sort of symmetry tool to make sure that all sides of a box are neat and clean and have that#Professional Game Art type of feel about them - rather than 'this is a scan of scraggily pencil lines in which I did not even bother to use#a ruler or try to get them all that even' lol). So it's not that it's BAD really.#just I think.. perhaps ''unconventional'' compared to the examples of other#games I've looked at. BUT. the point is to convey an idea. I think your art has failed if you do not convey a concept properly. But so#long as it meets your purposes and is not SOO cluttered/scribbly that nobody can even tell what's going on (unless that IS your intention)#then like.. I think it's fine. You can tell a house is a house even if it's not polished. No worries. (<convincing myself)#ANYWAY.. also 'Nanyevimi Market Quest' is still SUCH a placeholder name but I genuinely can never think of anything else so#I've just been going with it for now ToT... There's no distinct actual throughline story/plot so there's no 'theme' to base a title#around. Kind of like how 'The Sims' is just called the sims because naming it like 'Sims: Downfall Of Pleasantview' (one of the#towns in TS2 i think) would be a weird misname since what happens in the game totally depends on what you choose to do with it#So you can't really name it anything THAT specific (a player might not even choose to have a house in Pleasantview. what then? etc).#So it's just like..uh well...GENERALLY speaking.. everyone is uh.. on a personal quest..vaguely.. which takes place in a Market street full#of shops.. and you are mostly talking to shopkeepers... BUT it's not just a Market Quest since it's also in a fantasy world.. so we need to#give the fantasy world name.. and that's about it. I'm just at a loss for anything else. Maybe the like 2 and a half playtesters I#manage to scrounge up will have better ideas ghhh.. 'Nanyevimi Quest: Get To Know Some Shopkeepers' 'Find A Job In Fantasy World' you could#say 'Market Adventure' but some would argue just having a bunch of conversations and wandering around is not much of a real adventure.#don't want to set people up for thinking there's any drama or combat or anything. 'Do Menial Errands For Mentally Ill Elves Simulator' ghjg#(also sidenote: the '''chibi'' style versions of the characters on the menu screen....EVIL.. that style is SOOO hard for me to draw in for#some reason.. I just can't get the proportions right/have trouble fully ''simplifying'' the design.. took me HOURS lol... aUGHh)

shoutout to the writer of my favourite lawlight fic to ever exist
killing my self because I forgot to save it and they deleted the fic
#IT WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOSH#IT WAS AWESOME IT WAS MY FAV DEATH NOTE FIC BECAUSE OF HOW CHARMING IT WAS AND HOW AMAZING THE WRITING WAS AND NOW I CANT FIND IT ANYMORE#IT WAS SO DIANA WYNNE JONES HOWLS MOVING CASTLE. So self aware of its tropes and like the innate rules of that world and how the characters#Used those rules to their advantage. It was like a fantasy au where light was a prince who ran away from his marriage and he went to live#with ryuk. L was the king of the magical forest and he was investigating some trouble. The plots manage to merge and Light and L meet#while they are investigating their own respective cases. The side characters were fun and all contributed to the story in an imporatant wa#death note#death note fanfiction#ao3 fanfic#lawlight#I hope im just dumb and it wasn’t deleted so I can read it again but if anyone has that fic save plsplspls (if thats cool with fic etiquett#help finding a fic#I love you author for writing but im in despair for I now know what paradise looks like and can’t go back is this how light felt

the little flying pearl robot is so cute!! i love her lil crown, the little flaps that look like her tentacles, and the eyes and eyebrows!! im betting marina made it for her💗 its like their child
marina, in this trailer, doesnt seem to be speaking through the same mic with pearl like octo expansion. so if were looking at it in a positive-nothing-bad-happened-to-marina light, marina has her own robot that isnt shown in the trailer. but my main guess is that something happened to marina like being sucked in like dedf1sh and lost within wherever they are

#IM SO EXCITED#i didnt exactly want the thing where one idol is in trouble and we as the agent are trying to save them concept again#but im open to it if the plot is gonna be good and we get more lore opportunity!!#marina#pearl#agent 8#off the hook#splatoon#splatoon 3#ok i dont want to be a complainer or anything but i hope 4 gets mentioned or shown but it looks unlikely;#if not this dlc maybe a possible 3rd wave of dlc will continue their story#cuz it makes sense that they want to keep agent 8 + off the hook a contained story that involves them#and 4 is more connected to squidbeak splatoon in-game (like yeah 8 and 4 are roomates in outside game stuff like art)#(but in the game they are separate categories)#ok maybe i will write more thoughts on this later)#jenivi rant#my post

Should have posted this sooner but Netflix leaked the date of The Amazing Digital Circus episode 4 back in October
Back when episode 3 had just launched on Netflix like a whole minute before the Youtube premier (since it had a count down), Netflix showed this on the mobile app.
A placeholder image for Episode 4 of Pomni in front of the digital turkey from episode 1 and text that says "Coming in December."
I screenshotted it because surely there's no way this was true given the spacing between release dates of the last 2 episodes (two & three) and sent it to my partners and a server I'm in dismissing it as just Netflix being Netflix and putting out misinformation as streaming services are known to do quite often. Seeing as Netflix just acquired the rights to have it also shown on their platform, it was even more likely it was just total misinformation as GLITCH hasn't been that transparent with us before about this series and there was no word on episode 4 in any official capacity.
Editing this after having written the initial post: Apparently it was also supposedly leaked on the Netflix website too with a more specific date given.

Cut to yesterday when we got this image of seemingly promotional material for the next episode from GLITCH. I was shocked, it's coming soon then? Maybe this is just to tide us over for a few months, the Netflix leak was probably not even a leak. (This is the best quality I got, I don't have a twitter and I'm sure the instagram image compression is as bad as the Youtube community post.)
Ah yes, this man is super charitable with his 57 cents. 😂 (inb4 North America public service job moments with the two gunmen NPCs on the loose.)
AND THEN TODAY THE TRAILER DROPPED TELLING US THAT EPISODE 4 WILL DROP ON DECEMBER 13TH! I am shocked, I am in awe, and fuck Netflix for leaking the general date (even if it's just the month) that the next episode would come out as that wasn't official information that we were probably supposed to know. Also here's a banner showing something new going on with Gangle.
youtube
Having said that though I enjoy little leaks like this personally, whether it was coincidental and misinformation on the streaming service's part or not. CHECK THE NETFLIX PAGE AND APP RIGHT AS EPISODE 4 DROPS OR WITHIN THOSE 24-48 HOURS I GUESS! MAYBE THEY'LL DO IT AGAIN! 🤯 Netflix just can't stop leaking things I guess, from entire shows to release dates of shows.
Another edit: Apparently Gangle's VA said somewhere in this live stream that it was coming out in December, but I haven't watched all of it; so, I can't confirm if that's true.
#couldn't find the screenshot in the partner group chat so the discord server one a whole day later will have to do#just goes to show that netflix is terrible at managing things that weren't supposed to be released yet and leaking them to the public#though as digital circus fans that also gives us something to look forward to; let's see if they do it a second time lmao#I'll absolutely be keeping my eye out for that episode 5 leaked vague release date in the near future#they still don't show it on the app btw so someone probably got in trouble with glitch productions and had to take it down#wonder what pomni jax gangle and ragatha are gonna get up to as I haven't watched the trailer yet but given the newspaper article#I think it'll be America customer service simulator and Jax will be held at gun point or something by the robbers and taunt them daring the#to do it to pull the trigger cmon coward just shoot already then it'll blast out confetti or something because age rating game censorship#I think Orbsman will be like the super important customer role or something too and will probably give the fast food place a star rating#I'm sure people who follow gooseworx more actively on tumblr and other social media might have seen this coming but I wanted to point it ou#mine#op#the amazing digital circus#tadc#the amazing digital circus episode 4#tadc 4#tadc 4 spoilers#tadc spoilers#tagging just to be safe as I'm probably right about some parts of the plot; also calling it now Gangle gets a power trip#after she becomes or is appointed as manager and that's gonna be such an interesting dynamic to see with the rest of the cast

Hey, do y’all remember that girl who snapped her retainer thirsting over Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther? Well, I had a similar experience watching Dev Patel in Monkey Man, because I spent the whole movie unconsciously clenching my thighs and created enough friction that by the time I left the theater they were unspeakably chaffed.
#monkey man#dev patel#seriously go see it it’s an incredible film#and also if you thirst for Dev Patel it’s a real treat#plus badass trans people integral to the plot#and a very visceral look at the current troubles in India

Personally I believe that genre is like a medium and any genre can be done well if the author understands their craft and can tell a good story and use their genre to explore interesting themes. That being said it's really hard for me to imagine ever finding military sci fi interesting. Sorry Ender's Game fans. But you said large scale space warfare and I am already yawning
#maybe it's because the most famous/popular examples are all ''we must fight to save earth from the evil alien invaders''#which is not just boring and cliché but also a. troubling type of plot. and i don't think i need to explain why#either way i'll always default to sympathizing with the Other in a Kill The Other plot especially if it's aliens that look like bugs =:>#esthetics#thoughts

idk if I actually want to write it, but I was thinking, ‘hm, baldurs gate three is a pretty good set up to have a character from something else be Tav’ and obviously how could I not immediately think of Jester. Mostly because Tav has big ‘everybody loves Jester Lavorre’ energy.
just. the crystal clear image of her getting upset that she’s back at level one, and yelling at the traveler about it, which everyone else goes ‘okay whatever so she’s maybe a bit crazy, we can deal with it’ and then like the first time they set up camp he just actually shows up to apologize, because this plane is making him do *paperwork*
I’m kind of tempted to restat her as a warlock for said paperwork reasons, which would mean Wyll getting to watch her make a very casual deal and having Emotions about that. And obviously Shadowheart and Gale have their own fun angst about the God angle.
#au blogging#jester lavorre#critical role au#bg3#bg3 au#crossovers#I feel like Astarion would really like Jester (master of chaos) but idk how he’d feel about Jester (nice person)#she and Karlach are obviously immediately besties#Lae’zel I think has a roller coaster of emotions between ‘competent’ and ‘ridiculous’ that she’s having trouble processing.#the rest of the m9 are stuck away for plot reasons (can’t directly plane shift and spelljamming takes time)#am I going to make a new save just to figure out how to write this? look.

I have a great idea for where we could send Desmond next. We should send him to Yara (Far Cry 6). It’s tropical island where he could be a bartender and help out the rebels overthrow the dictator. He would love it there. What do you think?
Desmond would be in such a strange situation in this one. Yara would definitely not be welcoming to any foreigners, especially considering the current situation (unless we’re making this about Desmond getting reborn as a Yaran?).
He’d definitely be in everyone’s ‘watch list’, not just the government but even the rebels.
Desmond would probably either go full stealth mode and create a Brotherhood behind both the government and the rebels, serving as a third party to both the government and the rebels (although there’s an uneasy alliance with the rebels because of his Brotherhood’s secrecy) or he’s juggling two lives, one as a strange bartender who everyone has an eye on and as the secret mentor of a fledgling Brotherhood.
The second one is more risky but it does give the story the chance for Desmond to outsmart everyone by pretending to be just a normal ‘flirty’ bartender when, in reality, he’s been slowly making his own Brotherhood and setting up an intelligence network.
Gameplay-wise, Desmond could be the bartender who gives Dani daily quests to get materials or maybe even a new currency they can use for something else.
Desmond would act like a nice dude who can’t get out of Yara because, well, things are pretty tense at the moment so he’s making good with what he has.
In the shadows, there’s a secret organization that’s undermining the government, with its actions being pointed at the rebels.
And no one can find any connections between Desmond and the Brotherhood.
#i kinda like the idea that desmond covers his face#because he knows people won’t trust him because of how he looks at the moment#and to hide his identity as the bartender#maybe even change his accent?#to one of his ancestors?#i’m thinking altaïr so it wouldn’t be a european accent#he can’t use ratonhnhaké:ton’s accent because it’s quite close to his own#and using a british accent was just asking for trouble#considering yara’s history with colonizers#assassin's creed#desmond miles#ask and answer#teecup writes/has a plot#fic idea: assassin's creed#fic idea: far cry#fic idea: crossover

someone's been liking a lot of my old posts relating to my attempts to rewrite fairy tail.... which, and this may astound you, is not actually a cancelled project in spite of the fact that it's been nearly a decade since i first started trying to figure it out
#fairy tail#fairy tail rewrite#ek3 rewrites ft#i knew it would take a while but. it is taking wayyyyyy longer than i thought#likely in part bc of the hell that is rotating special interests/hyperfixations#tbh i'm actually kinda ok with how long it's taken bc i've had some pretty good ideas since that i wouldn't have when i first started#unfortunately that also means some earlier ideas have been scrapped#oddly i'm actually having more trouble with some of the earlier arcs#the macao and daybreak arcs are still overall the same plot-wise but i'm planning to use them for world-building and character introduction#i've also gotten a bit more comfortable leaning into some of ft's more soap opera-y nonsense#like the constant surprise family stuff#just. hopefully less stupid#also. and i'm sure i've said this before. every character who dies was planned out well in advance#like even now when i'm still in the early stages (*sound of sobbing heard in the distance*) i know who's not making it and who is#probably the hardest part will be dealing with the last few arcs tho bc by that point it'll look pretty freaking different from canon#actually the hardest part will probably be handling the balance between fanfic-as-fanfic and fanfic-being-written-like-an-original-work#also i'm still firmly refusing to acknowledge the existence of ft100yq#i can't see it. i don't know her

Some days I wish more people actually played Pokemon for the plot so there's incentive to improve on the plot's weak points
#this is just musings but I was thinking about how legends Arceus was like#the only time I felt emotion about a player character outside of them being me#if that makes sense#in a main series game hello explorers of sky#but yeah like the protagonists are such non-characters#I do think it's a flaw that people look at hop and Keiran and go 'why am I doing this I don't even want to be champion'#like other aspects are very strong! scarlet and Violet had such strong plots and for 2/3rds of the main plot line the protagonist did not#need to be there!#like it could have been any strong trainer#when Pokémon's story is good it tends to be because OTHER CHARACTERS have good arcs that are facilitated by the player beating other#trainers when necessary for them#why am I doing the gym challenge? idk? I'm supposed to if#I'm having trouble articulating what I want because I'm tired but I'd like to start with giving the player character a clear motivation#like akari/rei have it very simple: wanna go home#got amnesia#a side of solve the mystery#like that's all stuff you can get from the set up#and then it's never really resolved#so they're just like in limbo#but aside from that#why does the player want to be champion other than that's the thing you do#when you have a Pokémon and are playing a main series game

mixed feelings about what snw does with vulcans. i like seeing more of the culture and it's not bad, but it's always about spock's romantic entanglements and that's an aspect of the show i do not care about
#how can i get invested in spock and t'pring when i know it's going to end like THAT#THEY don't care about their relationship so a) why should i and b) why are they trying to convince me they do#snw is a fantastic show and i love watching it#but there's other much cooler vulcan stuff to focus on#and i'm just getting frustrated that we seem to not be able to without a dead end plot being brought up#i have a few other nitpicks with the show esp in the makeup and costume department but those don't matter as much as plot development#and it's a shame bc like i said i like this show!#i look forward to it every thursday!#but i don't care about human!spock or his romantic troubles#i care about our spock and his adventures in space#star trek!
