[calibrationneeded]

So this is the “pilot episode” for a comic I’d like to keep adding onto just for fun, the basic premise is that it’s a post canon fix it comic about Dean discovering who he is outside of his macho persona while also repairing his relationships and building new ones.

It is a Destiel fic but it’s gonna be a slow burn because Dean has decided he can’t talk about his feelings until all his emotional issues are resolved (spoilers that’s not how things like that work).

I also plan on peppering in some lore explaining how Cas got out of the empty, how they ended up with a house, and who is currently God in universe. I’m not sure when I’ll get to work on another installment but hopefully it won’t be long because this has been an AU rolling around in my head since 2020

I got the chance to work with Choopo on his Wizard101 Lore series and I'm extremely appreciative that I got the chance to help him on his quest.

It was a lot and I'm not done documenting yet, there's plenty of Arc 5 speculation going on and I'm interested to see where this EarthBorn plot point from the end of Selenopolis will take the Wizard next.

I'm also working on an overall for Mage The Ascension (from the line of World Of Darkness TTRPGs) that will allow you to play as a wizard from any angle or side of the Spiral, I'll make sure to post updates here.

(This currently infant pet-project will absolutely/most-definitely be free because I have no idea what kind of legalization surrounds both KingsIsle and WOD these days but it would still be fun to get the chance to play as a Wizard of the Spiral and even more so to shape a system to allow you to do exactly that)

Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to working on many future projects.

Project M30 – observations about dark metal

So, during the summer, I, from time to time, periodically, clean the rust. At the case of my old computer. It has a metal case. And from the start it was covered by very intense cover of rust. So, now, it is, of course, better. Mainly here - to use a special tool, that helps to remove rust. A little rag and a metal brush. And, even, more main thing – it is to rub. And to rub a lot! Most main thing - it is after a tool – it is to rub! Maybe, even in some places to pick and old rust nail to receive some distant places.

Main - to continue rub! I do this all the summer!

And, I want to write about my observations. I cover with anti-rust tool. At the metal. Wait 20-30 min. As in instructions. Later to rub. And metal is starts to be – white. Just like it is new! And this? of course? is a very positive for eye. Such a result!

But! So, every time, I go to a country house, again. At the next week. I see! And, look, that metal becomes a dark! And this happens, every time. I make a cover this anti-rust tool – I do rub. Metal white again. Later, I go at the next week – it is dark again. Such a little blacker. So, it is, also, a good result!

This is my observation about I want to write! So, looks like, in result, it is going as a dark color! So, part of a summer – I do these on repeat. I was in a cycle I can say! So, I can say, experimental data! About clean from rust, clean metal.

It was a little, that I was a little upset. So, u know, I do rub this metal, so what? It was white. And, later, I see - again dark. But, later, I start to think, that it is normal! I think, everything is normal! So, saying short, it will to be some dark color!

So, right now, about this thing, I want to write! So, it is, something in between result, but a very valuable observation! About how the things are going. And about such a valuable aspect! So, in idea, maybe, if to rub this darker parts, then it can be white, in theory. So, in fragments, I have such result. But, this requires time and physical strength. So, it is hard.

Most main thing, that main part of the rust is going away! And I have a positive result, and good with it! So, I have in result such a darker metal color. So, it is also a good thing!

And this is my result in between. In this process! Process to continue!

So, these days, I was doing a metal case. And, I will need to check other parts. They are all also are covered with rust. And this expectation, I was doing, already, in august.

Metal brush - it is my best friend. As a gloves – in this process. It happens, that I have some corns at my hands. After several hours of this things. This process requires lots of time and some physical power. So, it is better to do all of these with gloves.

Some big raw parts of rust – even with a nail, old nail in use here. It was like that. And main instrument -it is metal brush.

Day 2 of populating the neighbourhoods with pets:

Emilia has been hard at work on improving her potionwork lately, but this sweet kitten always waited in the back of the house to sniff at the failed experiments she was dumping there

...so really Emilia had no choice but to adopt her to make sure she would only get quality food from now on

Split=whole

Started with this:

And is still REALLY early in the planning phase, but here's what @raekensarcher and I have thought about so far:

this is replacement for the hell trip, so it'll cover Theo's shift from the Chimera of Death to Puppy Pack Advisor

the reason he stole half the spark while taking pain is because stealing power is the only thing he's been taught to do; he's never had to take someones pain in any context other than to kill them and assimilate their power.

Stiles is gonna be his hard-ass, pack protector bitch of Pack Mom hardcore throughout, giving Theo and the puppies ALL the shit for their stupid decisions

them sharing the spark is what leads them to building a relationship bc Theo's been enamored with Liam since the beginning, but his detrauma-ing is what lets Liam see he's pretty gone for Theo too.

Project: Let's change myself

Hi! My name is Sabrina, I don't really know if anyone would be interested in this, but here it goes...

I'm a 19-year-old female, currently in my second year of university and I have no idea what to do with my life. Recently my existential crisis has been on a high note (yay😒). I'm a huge movie nerd so in classic movie fashion I want a big change in my life (hence project: LCM, title pending🤐). I want to document every change I do in my daily life. I will update this blog daily to make sure I stay in lane and don't give this project up.

(Also, this is a space where I can write about anything and everything so, there are going to be movie reviews, baking recipes, etc. If anyone want to talk about something specific, give me a heads up and I'll do it. This isn't just a safe space for me, it's a safe space for whoever wants to tag along.)

Again, I don't really know if anyone will be interested in this, but if you are dear reader. I hope you accompany me in this journey of self-discovery and cheer me on.

Damn, that sounded so cheesy it hurt my brain...

Anyway, this is what's going to keep me entertained during college so here it goes!

Day 1: Introduction (done)

[slide-into-the-void]

Something for a pet project me and my friends are doing (I’m unclear if it’s going to be taped) [also on mobile/from device to device the lighting can be funky so if it looks too bright just lessen the brightness and it should be fine]

Let me know if you like it!

Why do some companies keep studios working on in-development games that are almost eight or nine years in instead of just cancelling them?

The only times I have ever seen this happen has been under one of three sets of special circumstances:

The game is an executive's pet project

Somebody with a lot of influence at the studio or publisher really really believes in the game and so is able to find some space in the studio budget and headcount to keep the project alive. As long as that executive is there, the project is safe. Conversely, as soon as the executive leaves for whatever reason (resignation, finds another job elsewhere, etc.) the project is likely doomed.

The game has already been cancelled and we just don't know about it

The game has been cancelled internally and there is no active development happening on it, but we just haven't told the public about it for whatever reason. I was working at a AAA studio that was building a smaller-scope lower-budget title when the publisher had an executive leadership shuffle. The former VP in charge of our division was replaced and the overall mandate was changed to focus on projects with larger scope. The team tried to pivot to increase the game but the new executives gave the new direction the thumbs down, so the project was cancelled. Even though the title had already been announced, the marching orders were to change the subject if ever asked about it in public and we were told that they would quietly announce its cancellation a year or so later. I never did follow up on whether they actually announced the cancellation, but such things do happen.

The game is being yanked around between publishers/executives and is probably going to be cancelled

Before the previous game I was talking about was actually cancelled, it was in this weird purgatory-like situation where the goals had shifted and they were trying to change the project's overall direction to get executive approval and continue development. In this kind of situation, the project is on life support but not quite dead yet. You may remember how Anthem went on life support just before it was cancelled - this situation is a lot like that, except the game is still in development, rather than trying a post-launch change. Usually the attempt to pivot to something different is just too difficult with the resources and time available, so most projects in this state often turn into quietly cancelled games.

[enby--ghost]

i'm thinking about my book again, so you all must suffer and hear my still in progress plot idea

The world has been thrust into post-apocalyptic mayhem after large corporations tried to replace the labor force with cheap and mass-produced robots. This led to an uprising by the working class, which was successful but soon turned on them when the robots went haywire and attacked humanity. After many years, the world has been reclaimed by nature and animals. What's left of humanity splintered off into various groups, while the robtic workforce simply returned to their labor and are believed to have all rusted away over time. A young man tries his best to survive in this world after the death of his parents, tasking himself to find his uncle and trying to save what remains of the world.

Along the way, he encounters a robot, who was marked for destruction due to a fault in their coding that made them capable of free and sentient thought. They are on a mission to try and find any remaining robots so they can finally feel like they matter.

He also encounters a talking cat who has vauge memories of her time in a laboratory being tested on, leading to her ability to speak. She is trying to find her way back to this lab in order to figure out why she was tested on and to see if there are any other surviving subjects.

They travel through many different places, such as overgrown cities, desolate roadside towns, and various other places that still show the skeletal remains of what once was. Along the way, they face challenges both physical and psychological, which not only brings them closer together, but makes them question their very motives for the journey to begin with. The young man and robot also start to see eachother as more than just unlikely acquaintances.

That's all I have so far, and it may be subject to change. I kept some of the plot secret cause i like having the mystery. I haven't named any of the characters yet, nor have i named the story itself, cause names sre hard :(

Sorry for the long, rambling post! I just really like talking about stuff i'm planning. Feel free to let me know what you think, and if i have unknowingly ripped off stories that already exist

[demonicatale]

(First section is an explanation from me((catermander/charasaur3)), second section is an introduction from Yami. This parentheses section does not count, * are their own 3rd section)

Catermander:So uhhhh not sure how to start producing demonicatale content, will be an ask blog without a comic mostly, I will try to make a story for demonicatale(the start and end have been finalized for a few years, everything else will likely change over time), I like drawing only by hand though. The story will likely be a hand-drawn comic, the ask blog aspect will just be text unless I need to draw something in reference to what was asked. If you would like to help or something, dm me with my charasaur blog, dms here will result in a response from Yami(my OC and the one receiving questions here). Now to introduce Yami. I do allow questions set during both periods listed, just specify which period of course. I just realized I forgot this, but Yami does know how an ask blog works. She just doesn’t know their called ask blogs, or heard of the website tumblr. She will refer to askers as ‘extra dimensional beings’. Yami’s physical appearance(anyone is welcome to submit art of this description to either blog):height wise think something like a typical 12-13yo, female(please keep the body gender neutral though), winged humanoid demon, light-dark-purple crow-like wings, short dark purple horns, short wavy brown hair, very dark red eyes, no preference on clothes. Yami’s personality during demonicatale:somewhat naive, likes puns, likes puzzles, gets along well with everyone within demonicatale expect flowey that is(Asriel and flowey are separate individuals in this universe btw). Yami after demonicatale’s erasure:Has trust issues, how well they get along with others depends on several factors(including who they are a variant of ((Yami did learn of the various aus/ats sometime after demonicatale was erased as they do search for a place to call home as although they are a Chara variant kind of, I tried to make them distinct enough to be able to live in any au/at even if it already has a Chara)) with a few exclusions*, what universe they’re from(again exclusions apply here*), and whether the individual is manipulative or not(one exclusion*), suffers from survivor’s guilt as they were the only one to survive to avoid being erased, prefers to avoid talking about the past. Traits that apply to both eras:not prone to violence, prefers to avoid conflict, if you push Yami too far you will receive a warning before they get violent, she/they, unknown age(I never gave them one, never intended too).

Yami:Hi there, been I don’t know how long since I had guests or whatever you want to call yourselves. I’m just finally relieved to have to some company, even if brief.

*Will need to contact a few people IF those excluded characters are brought up, if they are brought and I am given permission I will credit the other creator of course. I don’t like stealing credit. I’m not listing those excluded characters yet, I want permission first. If any of the creators remember me, feel free to reach out to charasaur.

"The wind howls as you stare over the icy waters."

Hello and welcome to the Star Guided Fjord, a side blog for me to dump info of my three warriors-esque groups that live in Alaska.

This is HEAVILY inspired by @/bonefall, so if you see any similarities between our two projects then that is why! I would definitely recommend checking him out because they have done a lot of work and all of his posts are fascinating!

I should introduce myself! My name is Cin (she/her) and my main blog is @thecinemademon! Please feel free to send asks about the project and give your own ideas!

The three groups that we're working with are Shark's Clan, the Ice Domain, and the Rush Colony. My goal is to start with the basics of the groups and then slowly build it up from there. This is for fun so I may drop in and out of activity. Have fun!

Project М30 – final for summer

Summer has crossed the finish line, and it ends. A warm September too. And it is a time for have some result for summer. M30 – it is old computer. And its metal case was in rust. And, I, from time to time, periodical, to rub it, rub for remove rust. I do, that things – to rub and remove rust.

And, in last attempts, I, already, do not use tool for removing rust. And, just, simply, take a metal brush into the hands. And put on gloves. And rub. Rub and rub. It is main – main things you need to do with it. Methodically to rub with metal brush.

I pay attention to one thing. That metal is something like still with rust.  But with every new attempt some part of rust layer is removing.  So, it is going to be less and less rust, and, it is less and less with ginger color. But, to rub - it is for a, really, long time!

Who knows, if to rub, extremely, too long – maybe, it is possible to make it - like new condition. And, to rub until white. Or rust will come back a little. Who knows.

But, I am plan some aim, for now. To remove rust. As, it is a layers of rust, several layers. And, just to have with the result a little dark metal case. And, I am rather good with this. And, I rub by parts, one fragment after another. For example, I rub some little square form fragment. And I rub it. This thing requires time and a physical strength. And, ok, I go tired. So, at first things are going good, as  uou just start, it is good goes, easy and funny! And, after, you see, that you are going to be tired and process is slow down. So process, slow rather fast.

And most main thing – rust is removing. It is with a result a dark metal. Main – it is to rub with metal brush. One fragment of case after another one!

Maybe, it is a main result! So, I can’t keep up all the things, I still not complete all the case. But, partially, it is clear already. It is a thing of tech and time! For the last parts. I think, that I will have no problem to rub till complete result.

One more interesting moment. About a hard receive places of case. Bends. And some elements where brush cannot reach. So that points - it is, they are, yes, some moments. It is good to think how to do this later. And taking into account, that cleaning process, it is rather long process in time. And, if brush not receive some parts, fragments, so this is a worse with the final result. Nail, maybe, to use. But, hard to receive parts – it is a next step.

So, during this stage, I will do it, at home, already, in a home condition, to continue to rub from a rust. And, to get a dark color of metal. And, about a hard receiving place – will think about it! Next stage – it is, also, good to rub from rust all the other parts!  I do it for a little time. But, it is still a big work there! Rust is removing, something like, a layer after layer. You remove one layer with rust, then next one. And, again, it requires a strength and time, you need them.

And metal case - I do for a long time, already. And result – it is good to see now. Dark color metal. As a result. In a place, where it was a layer with rust. Very remarkable ginger and intense.

So, now will to continue this in a home condition! And, this is such a final moment for a summer! So, this is a result, finish line for summer about M30. About how it is to rub from rust. So, everything is goes good! And, in main, it is interesting result! So, you have darker metal! As a coffee or a tea! Well, ok.  Absolutely, another color. I just, for a final words, want to compare it with something! Because after that kind of things, you wanna to eat something and to drink something! Tea! Canned food is good!

Day 1 of populating the neighbourhoods with pets:

Cashew is very spoiled in his new home, because Bob & Noah had already found a lot of dog toys in little purple packets around the neighbourhood before adopting him... weird right?

It's not like Cashew pulled off some canine masterplan or something...
