Hppy 9th anniversary to MCSM!!! I don't rlly got much rn so uhhhh

GO MY TNT MANIAC THAT I'M SO UNHEALTHYLY OBSESSED WITH 💥💥💥💥💥💥

(Made him for an art collab hehe)

Plus some other old (Lukxel) sketches I've been hiding too, all from a fanfic I'm currently fighting myself to finish LOOLLL

[bigweldindustries]

writing something and I'm not sure whether I've officially lost my mind or if I'm creating my magnum opus (robot masturbation no genitals) (it is written to evoke gore) (there is a reference to my 4 murdered childhood iPod classics) (there is also discussion of memory issues)

[firestorm09890]

i would probably enjoy kh much more if i didn't have such a loathing for axel/lea because one of his core personality traits is making other people's business his business so he's all over the damn place but unfortunately i can already hear his smarmy voice saying "well everyone else loves me, sounds like it's your skill issue" in my head and it pisses me off too much for any hope of changing my perspective

calepriya & ripaxel shippers lost so much today

Currently playing: Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

good to know I’m just as bad at this game as I was as a kid

uwaaa how about some little tidbits with ezekial and luther.... like once ezekial pulls up and luther's life turns upside down how does he cope with it

OH ive been thinking about this too but how many aus do you have revolving around your ocs ??? im curious :3

SHEKEL. I AM LOOKING AT YOU WITH VERY BIG AUTISTIC EYES.

I’m going to answer the second question first bc it’s shorter I think. I actually don’t have like a ton of aus as a whole. Juno’s got the most variations though bc I’m insane about digivalen <3 For them I’ve got

- shogunswap (where juno stays part of the main gang)

- shogunswap (where Juno’s with DNA instead)

- mermaid au

And I could’ve sworn I had another one but I can’t remember it at the moment.

EDIT: I REMEMBERED!!! MANGA JUNO! Idk if that really counts as like an au au but manga compliant juno and anime compliant juno are very different so I count it. That also brings up manga Victoria as an au for her too, since anime compliant Victoria dies while Sakyo’s still young while manga Victoria’s still kicking 🫡

The other that immediately comes to mind is Ezekial and Luther au where Luther’s family is actually completely fine and normal and nothing goes wrong and everyone’s fine. That one’s uuuunrealistiiiic :]

When I was younger I was super into Undertale aus though and I had an underfell version of my main ocs at the time where they were all just edgy and mean and sad. fun times <3

OH YK I did just remember I do have mfb wakfu au from when I was rewatching wakfu. Juno was an eniripsa, Axyl’s an eliatrope, and then bc of that I have two different Wakfu Essi’s. Alone, I can definitely see her as an iop, but in wakfu lore, all eliatrope’s have a shapeshifting dragon sibling who come from the same egg as them, so that also opens the door for dragon essi (I actually have doodled eliatrope Axyl and dragon essi before I’ll have to find those when I get home.) For the other characters, feca kite and eight for sure, sacrier chao xin (I also have sacrier Chao Xin somewhere I will also be finding those later), and I never fully settled on a species for the garcias but ecaflips were the main option in my head.

Then for Ezekial and Luther. smile :)

Luther is a whole mess of emotions when Ezekial shows back up. When his goons essentially “capture” Ezekial while he’s snooping around, the bring him to Luther, who looks down on Ezekial very intensely and very coldly. Their entire first interaction there is completely cold on Luther’s end. Ezekial is ECSTATIC to finally see him again but Luther is really intent on keeping up his professional demeanor. At first, he’s willing to let Ezekial go unharmed and just leave it at that, but when Ezekial refuses to go, Luther tries to be a little bit more “convincing,” and in that moment is especially trying to emphasize (both to Ezekial and to himself) that he’s a different person that he once was and isn’t so merciful. Even then, Ezekial persists, and the more he pushes, the more Luther finds himself enraged for reasons he can’t quite understand. Luther has a reputation for usually being able to prevent his own hands from getting dirty, but he can’t help but shut Ezekial’s whole speech about how he knows that “his best friend is still in there somewhere” down with a firm kick to the gut from his own boot. This is not the last time something like this will happen, and it’s notable that Ezekial is the only person who’s ever been able to rile Luther up enough that other people see him lose his temper and put his hands on someone. It’s notable also that it’s not just rage behind Luther’s eyes, but a deep unsteadiness and what could be considered fear.

Luther from there on out decides to keep Ezekial “prisoner” basically, not necessarily because he wants him around but because he knows Ezekial can cause problems for him if left to his own devices and wants to keep an eye on him. That is how The Problems start and continue to develop into A Plot :]

There is actually one scenario I’ve thought A LOT about because it’s a really important scene for these two. Maybe the first night Ezekial is there, maybe not, but it’s still relatively early into them being reunited, Luther lets Ezekial into his room one night. Ezekial is there kind of awkwardly twiddling his thumbs while Luther showers ((((((IN A SEPERATE ROOM)))))) ((((((LUTHER HAS A BATHROOM ATTACHED TO HIS BEDROOM)))))) ((((((EZEKIAL IS AWKWARDLY SITTING AROUND IN LUTHER’S BEDROOM WHEN THIS HAPPENS))))), notably the most unsupervised Luther has left him at this point, and when Luther comes out, he still barely acknowledges Ezekial but instead walks past him onto the balcony. He leaves the door open, a silent invitation, as Ezekial follows him out and finds Luther lighting a cigarette, leaning against the railing. Ezekial stiffly copies the action and the two sit in a tense (well, tense for Ezekial at least) silence before Luther is the one to start the conversation and the two just. Talk. It’s the most vulnerable Luther has left himself in front of Ezekial and the closest thing Ezekial’s gotten to feeling like he’s connecting to the real Luther again. When this conversation is over, they’ll go back to how it was before, but it’ll stay in both of their minds, and it definitely won’t be the last of its kind despite that.

This is like, fairly old art that I don’t like anymore, but I did kinda draw out part of this scene.

Love this so much!! It reminds me of Deborah Underwood's children's book "Interstellar Cinderella." Beautiful art and such a great book!

An idea I had, have been working on how to link the walking sections together and came up with this to make my axel joints

The idea was to have the tube in the middle thin enough to be bendy like a hose, while the teeth interlock if the tube is bending helping it to still transmit torsion without kinking.

Didn’t work out with the PLA I’m using for the project, wasn’t bendy enough, but I still think the concept has potential

[kingdomhearts-and-soriku-trash]

Okay so change of plans since I’m impatient for some reason and fear how long this will take. I’m going to load the save I made before I did the final battles with Ansem, and I’m going to try and finish him and technically finish a whole run of KH 1.

Whenever I actually have the patience and time for it, I’ll finish this current run of KH 1 since I do wanna redo it, but at the same time I don’t😭.

i think mechanical calculators might be some of the most beautiful things ever

HECK yes. Wanna learn some cool facts about horse-drawn buses? Alright excellent here we go: 

Horse-drawn buses like this one were originally called ‘autobuses’ and the name got shortened to ‘bus’ as a colloquialism, similar to how the word ‘pram’ came from the far longer ‘perambulator’.  

Bus transport systems didn’t start out as government or collectively-funded industries in most places, but rather were more like taxis; different companies and contractors would drive buses and they would try to operate in areas where they would pick up the most people in one cycle, developing over time into more established/regulated bus ‘routes’ as a result of the supply/demand. Buses from competing companies would often travel the same routes, resulting in road rage and scuffles when rival buses were loitering too long in allocated bus pickup areas, or arriving outside of their regulated times, etc. 

These buses CRASHED. OFTEN. And when they crashed, people would usually get hurt. (Safety regulation who?) In Brisbane there were reports of these kinds of autobuses being pulled over the verge of the road and rolling into the valleys on the side, harnesses snapping and sending buses rocketing backwards downhill, and even slipping into creek-beds and rivers. It was not uncommon to accidentally get crushed by these things. 

And, for the goth girlies that enjoy these kinds of things, here’s a horse-drawn hearse from our collections:

Beautiful horse-drawn bus from the 1890s.

odd, weird, strange, & unusual

I fully stand by the belief that video games are supposed to be fun, and if a game is too challenging I am not above playing it on easy mode.

However,

I have to play Chain of Memories on easy mode

This is a Kingdom Hearts game! It’s mostly Disney characters! It was intended for children! It should not be this much of a challenge for me a full grown adult who has played much more challenging games and been absolutely fine!
