#ok im not ready lets do this

I was today years old when I realized there is a water tower behind the diner. No clue how I missed it.

Was this important to point out? No, but this is always a pretty screenshot so let's admire the lighting too

idk whose post this is originally and i know this moment was kinda played for laughs in-show but like. they are good enough at hunting animals to find and kill food to eat on a new fucking planet.

they are …. So calm in this situation. they each have their tasks and jobs and they complete them in an orderly fashion, barely even having to talk, like they have a routine for being alone in the middle of the woods. we don’t ever see them doing this, but they must’ve done it before.

at which age do you think john winchester decided his sons needed to learn how to fend for themselves in the Real World and left them in the woods with bows and arrows and knives and said “i’ll be back in 4 days.” cause i’m gonna say 10 and 14? dean might’ve been out on his own before that, with the vague excuse of “training” given to sam to explain his brothers 2 day absence. it was a semi-frequent, maybe quarterly thing throughout their childhoods. obviously not on a Schedule so they never knew when to expect it, but they were always kind of waiting for it. it was just A Thing They Did, just like everything else. a way to prove they were retaining all their training. this was the winchester version of a camping trip. for the first couple years, sam didn’t even know this wasn’t what camping normally meant. he just knew he really hated camping.

one time, john got distracted by a hunt and left them in the alaskan wilderness in october for almost two weeks. one time, john forgot it was sam’s birthday and dean spent any spare time he had looking for cool rocks and leaves to give sam, and promised he’d give him his real presents when they got back. one time, dean got attacked by a goddamn cougar in colorado and sam patched him up and wondered what the tentative friends he had made last week were learning in their tenth grade class. and he hated john but almost cried with relief when he came to get them. dean did almost all the hunting because the very first camping trip, sammy shot a rabbit in the leg and sobbed as it slowly bled to death, and dean never wanted to see that type of anguish again. he hated killing the animals too, but he could do it, because sammy had to eat. he knew john would question it if sam hadn’t improved his skills, so they would set up makeshift archery ranges to practice. and in his reports to john, dean would always give half the kills to sam.

over time, as they got more skilled, john would give them less and less supplies, until at the end they only had a couple weapons each, rope, matches, and a first aid kit. and bobby thought when the boys spent one summer building a fort but refusing the tools he offered them, they were finally being regular kids.

have fun with these in the meanwhile

Nightmare -> Moonshine (korean: 밀주/Milju, named by Ttalgi)

eats negativity, revels in negativity, spreads negativity for survival, he is functionally immortal. despite being a shapeshifter, regeneration is especially difficult for him.

Error (still Error, doesnt need a code name <- couldve been Codex though)

hunts down anomalies, allows them to live for entertainment. only destroys aus when he gets bored of them. his destruction involves reading and deleting code.

Saejun -> Ttalgi (korean: 딸기/Strawberry, named by Moonshine)

strongest healer so far, extends to his crops. being near the fields can also regenerate you. doesn't have good offensive magic, but packs a mean punch.

Killer -> Misery (nickname: seri, named by Moonshine)

decent at fighting, has at least two knives on his person at all times. he's very perceptive, predicts opponents' moves instead of reacting. cannot use blue magic or karmic retribution.

Dust -> Ash (korean: 유골/yugol, named himself)

strong magic, highly effective blue magic, quicker karmic retribution. bones can be sharp, or not. does not fight unless absolutely necessary (killing the human).

Horror -> Sanguis (nickname: ver/vermillion, latin: blood, named himself)

retains his blue magic and karmic retribution, but can only use magic at huge bursts for short amounts of time, uncontrollable. prefers to get up close and hit hard.

Cross -> Crux (latin: torture instrument/crucifix, named himself)

has full control of the body, unable to control overwrite very well. capable of decent healing magic. best at fighting, both in terms of magic and melee. does not need weapons.

God I'm so fucking annoyed how come she gets to treat me however she likes and then gets to say she didn't mean it?????

[betasuppe]

Is it way too fucking lame if I make the big bad for Flint & Rinz a creature that's a paradoxical monster, half user & half program, corrupted by nature & created accidentally by the user & program having spent so much time together? Like a curse mistakenly brought to life by an unnatural bond? A child of both worlds & belonging to neither? A nightmare destined to destroy everything it touches, trying to corrupt everything like itself, continuing in my theme of humanity infecting the Grid like a plague???

Also like. It would basically mean Flint & Tr.on didn't even know they had a kid & that said kid is trying to kill them & I think that's kinda wonderful♡

It's called Amalgam & it doesn't know what it wants, but it needs to finally meets its creators♡

this isnt rgg related in the slightest i just need to share the fact im utterly baffled someone posted the entirety of Postman Blues onto youtube. seven hours ago.

[ruporas]

wait. wait. wait. ive been staring at ur latest comic for awhile now and i think i've noticed something about the colors? which are amazing, first of all- just gotta get that out there cuz i adore that soft pink and deep green combo

but i just realized that throughout most of the comic u use both in equal parts it seems. to separate bg + fg and such, to highlight characters/objects, etc.

but then when vash gets back to their room, all the walls are that dark green. and, bit by bit, the pink totally falls off. by the end, it's nothing but constant dark green as vash starts to cry

but then wolfwood slams in and he's backed by that soft pink. and suddenly the comic is nothing BUT pink. soft lines and whites and gentle pink tones EVERYWHERE to just. SO tastefully highlight the little details.

LIKE. WAS THIS INTENTIONAL?! i almost wanna guess that it wasn't since all those green panels w vash crying are all closeups focused on his expression so it makes sense to just put the simple green behind it and all attention on him so the pink just isn't Needed

BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE EFFECT IS SO MASTERFUL THAT I WANNA BELIEVE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL

HEHE..... first of all, thank you for looking at my comic so closely, THAT'S LIKE... REALLY SWEET and a huge compliment to hear, thank u thank u

and yes, it was intentional, especially more towards the end!!! in general, the colors are meant to serve as a mood indicator, so a balance of them in a scene would just mean a neutral "okay-ness" and have a functional serve to separate background / foreground / subject matter... deep green signifies introspection or incoming sadness (especially on pg5 when vash cries), and pink signifies wolfwood, which, not an emotion but he is happiness, someone that helps vash lose his doubts in a matter of seconds -- which is why those last few pages are just pink white and lines, and the panels are gone for the majority of it. i wanted to show their unity and togetherness!

while vash still has his issues of just Not saying anything about his loneliness, his feelings are alleviated temporarily with wolfwood's presence and he's just grateful that his paranoia didn't become true, and that wolfwood is genuine, true to his word, when he means he'll be following vash/staying with him. even though it's mission-bound, vash would probably still feel guiltily comforted by that fact.

I'M GLAD IT WAS PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE IN THIS COMIC because i definitely could've pushed it more... i figured it was a minor thing that not a lot of ppl would care for, but more ppl enjoyed it and noticed the colors than i thought, so i'm glad it worked out!!!
