When talking about Boothill's drink order in 2.6, like. Hoyo could have just glossed it over and described it as "a few" or "several" drinks. They didn't bother to program in the actual glasses or anything- it's not like any of us were gonna count them and notice if they put in the wrong amount.

But they specifically chose the number seven, and if it IS just coincidence, it is a very very fun one.

Hsr is also known to make tarot card references- we had the online event shortly before Penacony's release, I'm pretty sure there's at least a couple simulated universe occurrences and a curio, and then Black Swan's Everything.

The Seven of Cups is a card about dreams and making choices when you have multiple options it front of you. It represents resisting self-deception and false dreams, and not letting yourself be charmed by hallucinations. It is a warning to carefully consider what is real vs what is not, which is very important in Penacony as a whole, being the land of sweet dreams, and it becomes relevant to Boothill later, when Primon starts to fuck with his head.

It can also represent someone who is "deep in their cups," which is a more polite way to refer to someone who uses alcohol as a coping mechanism to an unhealthy amount.

I hate that this could be a serious comment on Boothill being an alcoholic to cope with how much horrifying trauma he's experienced...and I have to discuss it looking at Primon's ridiculous fucking face fjkdslajldk

The overall message of the card is to stand fast, keep a clear head, and make your decision. Which suits Boothill beautifully even outside of this patch, since he is the very picture of ruthlessness and straightforwardness- he is able to see that bright clear line between action and result, and he follows it doggedly! Everything he does, he does wholeheartedly and decisively! And we see it especially well when he fights through the partial regression Primon leads him into!

Straight and clear and sure as a bullet, baby!!!

I actually ended up in in the DPxDC fandom (and extension now, also the DC fandom) because a friend got me into Danny phantom.

Fun fact. Your posts were actually the first DPxDC content i encountered (one of the first few I encountered was you and your twin talking about your chemistry teacher). So I want to thank you for helping me discover this community.

Also my favourite DC characters are Alfred pennyworth and John Constantine.

Alfred is sassy, sarcastic and he absolutely makes the best cookies you can't convince me otherwise.

And Constantine is sassy and sarcastic and also just a very fun character overall.

There's just something so intriguing about characters who try to push everyone else away (especially out of fear of hurting them), but at the same time are so desperately in need of the love and affection they deny themselves.

John is in desperate need of someone who will warmly embrace him and tell him that it's ok, that he's done enough, that he deserves happiness. But he's too broken of a man to let anyone get close enough to him for long enough for that to happen, instead opting to push everyone away as soon as possible.

As you can see, I like Alfred and Constantine for very different reasons XD.

so I'm gonna be honest, I don't play genshin impact(got to liyue, didn't have enough levels to continue, dropped it) so for the longest time I have thought that kaveh was like, a 5 star, until someone on reddit(I lurk around the honkai star rail subreddit) mentioned 4 stars that that haven't gotten reruns in a while(when will yukong come from the war, hoyo?) and mentioned kaveh.

and i'm sitting there wondering why they brought up him? like, kaveh is a 5 star right?? Right????

anyway everything I know is a lie

nope our bbg is a 4star :]

makes it much harder to pull than a 5star so im still in awe i managed to C6 him on his debut like that without getting 10 baizhus AHHAH

but now that i see it, his last banner was in may 2023 since thats where it says i pulled him.........now, i didnt rlly pay attention to any of the banners after sumeru and their 4stars but? its really been an entire year since kavehs last banner?? ouchie thats long fr

Sorry if this was asked before but is it fine if you could share what brushes you use on procreate!?

OH HIYA I use procreate but not as often as I use clip studio paint!! I use a ton of brushes so I kinda forget UHH but here’s ones I’ve been using lately! (If there’s a specific drawing you’re wondering about I could try to remember which ones I used! I get bored easy with the same pens so I’m ALLLWAYS trying out free stuff on the clip studio assets page!)

OH but there’s this one Twitter I follow that posts a lot of brushes from the assets page too, I’ve found a lot of stuff through there also! Hopefully that helps!!

Edwin, after catching feelings for his bully back in the early 1900s, falling for his friend of 30 years, replaying the cat king's abs and 'i am fascinated by you' over and over in his head, and meeting up with a astrology loving crow- human: he is a boy and I am a boy. If anything he just enjoys ghosts.

When I was watching the recent smosh can we guess the game video, one of the games was gta5. The last thing to help you guess the game was a gift from an ah gta vid. And I was like oh this looks familiar. I know you probably don't care but I thought it was funny. Especially bc in the last eat it or yeet it they mentioned that it was originally gonna be called face jam.

[the smosh video, for context]

if i were normal, i probably wouldn't care that much, but because i'm not, i paused the video and immediately looked for what the original let's play was. it was let's play gta v- free play, uploaded to youtube on october 14, 2013, around 26 minutes in, by the way. if you even care.

i watched a couple videos about queerness and horror and it's like, all stuff i've definitely parsed and thought about before-- how differently i and other queer people connect to horror media. anyway i was thinking about wewand as i do and it is important to me that my interpretation/reading of him is inherently queer.

in general theming, something that interests a lot of us about horror is that like... portrayal/understanding of being Othered, the fear of not being accepted, the discomfort and sometimes horror regarding your own body. i do write leland with a lot of insecurity and like, the shame/fear of not being accepted is a theme that lances through most of his actions and most of his dialogue, both inner and outer. he has the image projected onto him that he tries and tries his hardest to fit into, and it never works. it pushes away anything genuine in his life and it's a lesson that he learns when he meets the friend group in college. and it runs so deep with him for a while that he's not even aware he's masking it in his day to day.

and re: queerness, gender, sexuality, a big part of leland's insecurity also falls into this category. it's, you know, A Big Thing that makes him different that he doesn't want to look at too hard, but something he finds acceptance with in our portrayal of the friend group, etc. it's the fact that in this portrayal we share, the friendgroup IS queer. they represent that same thing to me that i felt when i first found my acceptance with other queer friends in college. it's a very specific thing but the general theme of acceptance that we portray the friend group with, whether it's about personal insecurities, real fears, or passions, or being your truest self-- is so important to me. bc that is so queercoded in itself, isn't it?

leland, who was raised with several sisters in my particular portrayal, a mother that encourages and nurtures his sensitivity/less 'masculine' traits, but a father that really tries to keep him in line with toxic masculinity bullshit on all fronts, manifests pretty seriously into inner conflict that informs a lot of his actions. for leland, it manifests in putting himself into a box of what the 'golden boy' should be, ur average image of a hypermasc jock with the pretty girlfriend on his arm, very normal, very liked by everyone, not weird or strange or Different. versus what we actually see from leland. just in the way he talks, the way he dresses, where it doesn't rly read Standard Jock, to me.

i think of his gender expression as something that will try to come out in repressed, but still meaningful ways. he won't cut his hair, even though his dad hassles him about Looking Like A Girl. he wears outfits with pretty flowery designs, he cares how he looks, he's Prettyboy. and regardless of how he tries to jump to meet expectations, esp of his father (and just, everyone ever really), he is still, at his core, that soft-hearted emotional compassionate person. he has that bleeding heart that he can't put away.

without directly touching on like... the inherent... fearmongering of the 70's in many regards re: queerness, it was a scary time to be out. it still is. so it's just... idk it's important to me that leland is bisexual and has those pieces of gender expression as well, and it's important to me that the friend group is this safe place for each other, even amidst what is absolutely a horror tragedy story. you know? like there's enough pain, enough going against them in this story. idk where i was going with this really but i was just thinking about how ig my own queerness informs my writing and why horror is a genre that interests me. and sort of just another of my nonsense rants about how important a sense of empathy is to me in writing within it.

ooc. swiggty swag slaps INBOX CALL!!! let me know who you want, too!

GSAHJJhhhhh that's so fucked but so funny... i guess they'd figure out it was belos eventually but how long is hunter going to be running on the assumption that camila Evilly removed luz's memories for nefarious parental reasons. how hard is he going to want to throttle amity about this.

god. truly everything about the situation is awful but you're right, there IS some hilarity in amity temporarily being luz's Favorite. hunter -- who fully knows luz is under some kind of spell, and is trying So Hard to be gentle n not freak her out -- being like "blight. i know this isn't your fault. but i can't say it in front of luz. i have never wanted to kill you so bad in my LIFE,"

"Plus its ribs can stick out, based on an animal that's actually able to do that, so that's pretty cool, I'm glad they didn't entirely rid Paldean Wooper of its prominent bones."

Wait...

.... I saw Clodsire doing this, but a real animal can actually do THAT?! 😳😳😳

y'know as an adult I've largely arranged my life in such a way that I go for fairly long periods of time feeling more impacted by Generic Brand Executive Dysfunction than any traits that are like, particularly autistic

and then I start working on job (internship technically) applications and I'm like. yes hello recruitment person I need to ask you somewhere in the range of 13-50 clarifying questions about the intended meanings and distinctions between these prompts. see the overall topics have quite a lot of overlap and I just want to know which subtopics are more appropriate to discuss for this prompt versus the one a couple questions down-
