#oKAY I'M DONE TALKING NOW

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

Unu !!

why didnt you add Template and Pale to your artfight?

Maybe my reasons don't make sense to everyone, but... it feels like they are too popular for Artfight? Adding them there seemed kinda unfair to me, so I didn't. I also guess I don't wanna be known for just my Undertale Stuff everywhere I go. That's also why my Instagram doesn't feature much UT fanworks. Besides, it gave me room to create a Melusine version of my sona, and I'm really happy with the design >u<

This doesn't mean that there is no chance for them to be added in the future though, I might add them next year, or the year after... just, not right away c:

I think what's frustrating me the most about what's going on in campaign 3 right now is that the main idea being talked about and given way too much emphasis runs counter to the theme of the m9. If the Nein were about the idea that you can become better no matter what you did or who you were before, the argument set forth and being entertained as a legitimate conflict right now is very "these guys did bad shit a thousand years ago and they should die. Somehow this is good for everyone despite the centuries of good they've done since." Ashton's point was extremely astute that if that's the case, cleanse the entire world motherfucker because we're no better, but the hypocrisy of that was neatly sidestepped (which is at least consistent with Ludinus and fascists of his ilk in general). It's not a real argument, guys. We're not meant to take him seriously.

The gods are the stewards of the only world anyone living has ever known. The fact that they made bad choices that hurt Ludinus and people he knew is a legitimate grievance. The gods are in fact flawed, capable of selfishness, but when confronted with the enormity of the damage they were causing this world, they removed themselves and a whole chunk of their power to seal themselves behind the divine gate. They didn't abandon the world. They didn't withdraw their power and sulk, leaving everyone without their gifts until they begged for a return. They simply care for mortals on the terms of those mortals and ask for nothing not freely given. The people who follow the gods find them worthy of that patronage and Ludinus does not get to erase the choice of everyone else who doesn't agree with him because he's hurt, even if he did have a point (he doesn't).

He thinks, for some reason, that his actions won't result in the same kind of harm on a global scale and completely ignores the damage he has already wrought in the name of a higher purpose because that's what the gods did and they're no better than him. But they are, dipshit. They are better than you. There are people in the world they may not be better than, salient point, but you're not one of them.

And after the light and love that was the core of the Nein - the very thing that shaped Essek into the campaign 3 NPC that he is - it feels extremely disingenuous for "do the gods deserve their power now that you've seen them at their worst" to be perceived as an actual, legitimate conflict in the endgame and a talking point in the Fandom. Especially when the Hells have already been pretty clear that they're not looking to be judge, jury, and executioner of the gods. This is not the central conflict of campaign 3, it's one dumbass's weird motivation to be a villain that needs to be stopped and the fact that it keeps coming up as anything approaching credible is a condemnation of the purity culture mindset in online spaces today.

I don't want to see Luca anywhere near Sydney in season 4.

If sydcarmy is happening, I don't want no romantic or platonic (pft) storyline with Luca for Syd.

For one, it makes no sense to spend time on a relationship that's going to end. And highkey, I especially wouldn't like if a romance happened only for there to be parallels to Carmen, or Luca is presented as a good viable option for Syd, only for her to get with Carmen anyway.

At this point, I just want the show to give sydcarmy or get the hell away lol. I'm over the multi-channel gaslighting of it not being there in the show and the parallels that many hope are actually going to mean something by the time the show ends.

Syd, Marcus, Ebra, Tina, Gary (and Manny and Angel that won't be getting any screen time atp) haven't got the time I think they deserve (Syd in particular, for the second main character where tf was she in S3? S2 I understand, but for real wtf was that?). That time would be better spent on them rather than a short-lived, reprieve-centred fling for Syd imo.

I wrote a post a while ago regarding sydcarmy after S3 and I still more or less agree with what I said, but in terms of plot, if Sydney is going to struggle along with Carmen when she chooses to stay at the bear, that's perfectly fine. But I don't want anymore ambiguity, "up to interpretation" bs when it comes to them. At least give me the opportunity to wave a satisfied fist in the air with blatant, confirmed romance between them at least, so I can say "the sydcarmy shippers told yall so", even if I don't particularly want it the same way.

Its funny that I could feel my WH hyperfixation slowly morph into just my genuine special interest. I worried at first, cause I thought my love for it had died. Because it was duller. But no no. Now it sits comfortably and idly in my mind. Unshaken. Comfortable. At home.

[nyuheartbreak]

hi i normally don't talk or interact with posts much because im shy BUT

first of all thank you all for the recent support on my art, genuinely means a lot to me

second of all (and something more funnier)

the recent surge of fake posts (basically the isat universe found access to tumblr) are so funny to me, because yes the existence of tumblr is VERY funny but PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING

imagine, the party is in the house

then maybe mirabelle goes like "haha sorry guys give me a second" AND PULLS A BLINDING IPHONE 13 PRO MAX

also can we just like acknowledge the absolutely cracked writing juice that went into 03 mustang's introduction. occurs presumably in the midst of some sort of mental breakdown driving him to visit the orphan child of the innocent doctors he murdered -> he proceeds to accidentally witness one of the greatest alchemical crimes known to man -> attempts to enlist the deeply traumatized eleven-year-old amputee who committed it -> by the way the military into which he is trying to enlist this child is also the source of his own deep trauma. what the hell dude. funny that he did that though

(hey there, post-rant-clarity me here, this is super spoilers if you haven't gotten to the end of tem book 4 look away)

HELLO? HELLO I JUST FINISHED EMPIRE OF IVORY AND NO ONE WAS GOING TO TELL ME???? HELLO!??!??? IM- im.

the way Bonaparte was like "hey man :\ you're kind of our hero and i don't mind harboring u and your platonic soulmate dragon that we would otherwise do anything for to have in the war effort, do u want a house?" and Laurence is like "no i would like to go back to England to be hanged, thank you sir." LAURENCE WHEN I CATCH YOU- WHEN I CATCH YOU LAURENCE- WHEN I-

Okay so objectively a lil silly, but it's kind of making me lose my mind, so I watched @shortonegaming play ISAT which has engrained upon me Loops voice being Fucking Like That. So with the Twin Hats ending it also has had the unforseen consequence of making me go. Wait. Is their Siffrin voice how Siffrin hears themself while Loop's voice is how everyone else hears them???? Cause if so, fucking wild to think about in retrospect. Siffrin out here going "Nya~~~" and everyone has to pretend it didn't sound like a Victorian actor decided to be a valley girl that meowed

Like, not to harp on this, but just because you don't see the "value" in a piece of art or don't think it's "technically beautiful enough" to be acclaimed or don't want to interact with it because the function it's serving isn't something you're interested in doesn't mean that it just. Doesn't deserve to exist.
