what ways is it "okay" to exist?

What nature does not eat and chew to have form?

To give form to thought?

flesh makes thoughts

and flesh makes thoughts

green or red, flesh makes thoughts.

Maybe it is better to give up flesh, than have flesh made thoughts

I am rebooting Oddworld: Conar's Ambition.

I have danced around the central points and plot ideas without reaching them for far too long.

I am still in the plotting stage, but I will certainly keep you posted once I have this back up again.

Her favorite songs and her favorite song artist's

Yuutsu dark facts and sweet facts

She can't understand her emotions sometimes and she tends to question if she's real

Because of what her mother did in the high expectations of both her mother and father and put her in a state of panic whenever she would fail because she would think that she is only a useless doll

That's why dressing the way she wants is therapy for her

Her kittens were the only therapy she had before she was free from her parents' expectations

The most noticeable thing about her is the way she dresses and how she doesn't have a certain style that she follows she just dresses however she likes if she wants to dress Gothic she'll dress Gothic if she wants to dress in Lolita she'll dress she will dress and Lolita

Because of the facility in her small business she earns quite a lot of money so she sits aside a bunch of money for the things she wants and for the things she needs

But when she grows out of her clothes she usually either gives them away or stitches somewhere they're larger

Since she has a lot of clothes she has a lot of wrecks and hangers and a big closet

She's no hoarder she understands that there's a limit to how much she can buy so she organizes them a lot and picks up the things that don't fit her and the things that do fit her

So her closet will be clean and organized

She has a lot of cute clothes that she is very grateful for since as a child she was never allowed to wear those types of things so now she wears all the cute clothes she wants

And repairs the childhood she never got

Whenever she's angry she always has this expression

It really shows how much anger can build up in someone before they pop

Although she doesn't like holding on to it because to her it's exhausting but sometimes she just can't let it go

And either teach us the person a lesson or let someone else do it for her she's not an evil person she usually has a reason for what she does

Her hair is a soft pink

But since she uses her ability called pink creation she can permanently dye her hair pink whatever shade she wants

Her eyes are different story her eyes are pink with a little bit of purple

She likes to wear cute stockings or tights or even socks with cute Ruffles

The colors are mostly consumed of light pink white or black

She prefers to wear these types of shoes since most of the people she knows are taller than her she isn't short though but she does like to wear these shoes because they are comfortable to walk in and especially the Mary Janes

The owner of Oddwords.hu shared some memes they’ve made over the years. Here are a couple of my favourites

How to rizz the pretty girl across the room at the book store with the coffee that she just spilled on her dress

Make an "offer" You want her attention, affection, sex. Romance is a useless, selfish desire, that only begets exhaustion, connection, and satisfaction if done right. In this world of cruel and petty insecurities made into profit, it requires a hefty amount of vulnerability and trust to be invested into another person, or a heavy amount of deprogramming introspection, to enjoy.

So if you want that collection of things from another person, offer yourself too. You can't ask someone to give you something in exchange for probing into their life; begging for their validation of your worth as a human being, based on your attractiveness no less. You find them attractive enough to approach from across the room, just don't put the pressure of your self worth on them. They're a stranger

You're not proving your worth as a human being here, you're trying to convince a hot girl who's panicking a little bit because she just spilled coffee all over her favorite fucking dress, to pay enough attention to you to decide to date (we're not kids here, let's be honest; fuck) you later.

Grab some napkins for her. Maybe a spot of water, and a little soap.

Episode 182 - In Other Words

[a-table-of-fics]

So, while writing for Oddworld: Conar's Ambition, I realized...

It feels a lot less focused than my Splatoon or Madness fics to me. I scrolled up to double-check some elements, and realized I'm over two hundred pages into this story and Conar still hasn't even gotten to the early steps of his revenge on his former boss!

It's been fun to jump from moment to moment, learning how to write more character set pieces and action moments, but I'm wondering if I need to take a step back, maybe reboot/retool what I originally wanted, maybe... gulp... make an outline...

I'm not sure.

I feel like I'm in orbit around what I wanted. I can see it, but I'm going to be unable to reach it without a forceful act like this.

On the flip side, I can't make this a habit, or else none of these fics will actually see completion.

But what do you think? Should I step back to retool this?

Slig

Concept art by Steven Olds, �� Oddworld Inhabitants. Accessed at the Oddworld Wiki here

[Sponsored by @martyslittleusedblog. They're been trying to get me interested in monsters from platforming games for a while, and this is what hooked me. Partially because I remember Oddworld and Abe's Odyssee for the PS1. My cousin was the one with the Playstation, and he didn't like the game, but I remember poring over the manual and delighting in the concepts and the art. A dystopian game where a low level employee at a meat packing plant fights a corporate empire and becomes a reluctant Chosen One? Yes please!

The sligs are the main grunt force of said corporate empire, the Magog Cartel. Imagine if koopas carried shotguns. Apparently a slig slave revolt is a plot point in one of the later games. Good for them. If you're super worried about game balance, this is another monster, like the watchuka, that has a lot of treasure for its CR because guns and other ranged weapons are very expensive in Pathfinder 1e.]

Slig CR 4 NE Aberration This green skinned creature has a squid-like head with five finger-like feelers surrounding its mouth. It has large muscular arms and metal legs. It wears a set of red-tinted goggles and carries a large gun.

Sligs are eusocial mollusk-like creatures native to the swamps of the planet Mudos. They are most commonly found elsewhere as grunts, soldiers and assassins, as their queens have gladly sold the entire species to the Magog Cartel, a massive industrial empire. In exchange for unquestioning service, the Cartel provides sligs with greater mobility. A slig is born with strong forelimbs and stunted hind limbs, perfectly serviceable for pulling themselves between bodies of water, but good for little else. A slig in slig pants, however, can walk, jump and use its arms for carrying weapons; typically guns. Sligs love guns. Most sligs also wear goggles on a regular basis, both to protect their eyes (they are naturally nocturnal and live in foggy swamps) and because higher ups in the Magog Cartel find their beady eyes aesthetically displeasing.

Few sligs are very bright, but most of them are very cruel. Unlike many other eusocial sapient species but more similar to bumblebees and paper wasps, there is frequent infighting among sligs as they jockey for rank. The Cartel has managed to channel that into organized contests like kill counts, employee of the month bonuses and frequent games. Another privilege is the use of names—all sligs have a name, but using it publicly instead of a number and rank has to be earned by service to the Cartel. Sligs off duty are often found playing card games or sports, and those not playing are usually betting their spare income on such matches.

A slig stands about five feet tall. They are short lived, and considered adults by 2 years and ancient by 20.

Variant Sligs Sligs are naturally morphologically plastic, as they respond quickly to changes in hormone levels. In addition, different sligs may have different abilities due to different equipment and cybernetics bestowed on them by the Magog Cartel.  For example, Big Bro sligs are Large sligs who have to be equipped with special four-legged slig pants to support their weight, and are often given automatic weapons. Some sligs are given flying harnesses instead of pants—they have a fly speed of 40 feet (perfect), but no land speed. Other sligs, especially with class levels, may be equipped with heavier armor, flamethrowers, or rocket launchers.  

Slig          CR 4 XP 1,200 NE Medium aberration (aquatic) Init +2; Senses darkvision 60 ft., Perception +6 Defense AC 17, touch 12, flat-footed 15(+2 Dex, +3 natural, +2 armor) hp 47 (5d8+25) Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +4 Weakness light blindness Offense Speed 30 ft., swim 20 ft.

These pants grant the slig a 30 foot land speed, a +2 armor bonus to AC (that doesn’t stack with worn armor) and a +4 racial bonus to Acrobatics checks. A slig without its pants on has a land speed of only 5 feet, and cannot use manufactured weapons as it needs its hands to move. A slig without pants is a CR 3 creature. A slig’s pants are destroyed when the creature is slain (and cannot be worn by anything besides a slig regardless). Uplifted (Ex) A slig gains Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms) and Gunsmithing as bonus feats.

*adjusts tinfoil hat*

Some time ago I mentioned that there is very technically at least one transfem Mudokon according to word of god.

Sadly the original Dear Alf bits have mostly vanished from the OWI website, but wonderful people have kept archives, so I found the question and answer in question from “Dear Alf 63 - Kitchens, conversations & Chroniclers”

Question: How do you make time between reading fan mail and making tea?

Alf: It’s a gruelling regime that often has me up aaaall night trying to cram it all in. Sometimes I resort to reading fan mail while making tea. Sometimes that gets messy. Like this one time I poured teabags all over myself! But I was lucky, I know Muds who’ve been through worse. One of my assistants (hey, I gotta sleep too) wasn’t paying attenion one time when she was juggling tea-making with organizing the weekly hackey-sack tournament, and she poured sugar all over her feet! Let this be a warning: pay attention to what you’re doing in the kitchen! I don’t ever want my ingredients wasted again.

It’s always been made very clear that the only Mudokons we’ve seen in the games so far have been sexless workers and there aren’t any native Mudokon queens known to Abe’s circle. Therefore, the assistant Alf mentions in this post must be a worker Mudokon who uses she/her pronouns.

Another game series (presumably) accidentally created trans rep and I love it. Checkmate queerphobic fanboys.
