trick or treat :)

well, well, well, what have we here? happy halloween, sader! i give you a Potion of Unknown Effect (ignore the “temporary frog transformation” label) and a silly minecraft headcanon: endermen collect shiny things, but they have no sense of what players find valuable. they’re just as likely to treasure a copper ingot as a diamond. but the most valuable gift an enderman can ever receive is a small block of obsidian — the shiniest stone they can’t collect on their own. it can only be gifted by a friendly player <3

Why does the orange Addison's mannequin kinda resemble you?

I love Jar of Mice! I've never seen creature designs like Thrones before.

You mention Ibis tissue in some of the posts, and I read the old post about it - has the lore changed since then? Does it have anything to do with the bones of God at Godtomb?

I'm very flattered! I don't think of Thrones as particularly creative but I suppose that's because I know all the ingredients for them... Actually let me take this post as an excuse to go into them a bit!

I extremely enjoy taurs and human "hybrid" style creatures like sphinxes a massive amount, but there are a ton of artists who's particular styles and sensibilities have inspired me. Coming to mind off the top of my head are artists on social media like Bwusagi, Suzumori521, Deerchip, Theveryworstthing, iliothermia, and definitely more...

I tend to collect a lot of art of centaurs, sphinxes, harpies, and dragons that catches my fancy, here's some of it:

(An Islamic depiction of Sagittarius, Salome Sphinx by Nicholas Kalmakoff, ????, Nagas by Rabi Behera, Şahmaran)

Edit: forgot the Lamassu, which is a more specific inspiration than any of the things above or below.

Jim Woodring is one of my inspirations for Thrones that people tend to clock, and they're correct. It's probably the colors, patterns, eyes, shapes.....

Oh and.

Her.

And for the second question, yes! The tissue was once on the bones, although the Ibis tissue used in the temples for the creation of dagnyds is much more equivalent to a cell culture than anything at this point. It's desire to grow and take form is the creative force that humans have harnessed to create dagnyds..... for better or worse.

I don't have any art of it i'm happy with, but here's some several year old pixel art of an Oracle Computer, which is filled with the stuff. Honestly though, I don't think "black goo" is very compelling or visually interesting considering what the stuff actually is. It needs work.

Everything always needs work...

Augustus: *throwing a tantrum* "DAD WHY AM I LIKE THIS"

Octavius: "Well, I didn't sculpt you but it seems they ran out of marble."

Augustus: "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT STINKS HAVING NO HANDS"

Jed: "Or legs."

Octavius: "That's not helping."

Omg you can't just say that Jed!

Who's your favorite character/boss from deltarune?

I think the easy answer leans mostly towards

but I have a special love for all of them.

idk if you’ve seen this but it’s a really cool look at how translation/localization affect sylus’s characterization https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveAndDeepspace/s/TkpGfbq3n3

Hi there! I wouldn't have known about this since I don't use reddit much, but with this ask and @inkykei sending me this link yesterday, I've sure seen it now! I've managed to read the first Sylus chapter translation and I'm so distraught by how different some of his lines are!!! He is so much more obviously devoted right from the beginning in the original, I'm both thrilled and so upset because a lot of what I premised MC's feelings on in the Sylus series is based on particular things he said during the main chapters. As just one example:

"which means there's something wrong with her" eng translation, but

"so she does have a bit of a problem" in the original!!!!!! he didn't say anything is wrong with mc, ever!! sylus 100% honest simp from the beginning!

And him saying "This is the welcome present you've given me" instead of "is this how you greet a new friend" when mc tries to stab him in the face, that's SO DIFFERENT, he is ALREADY telling us he likes to be stepped on, Sylus honey we JUST MET calm down

"You wanted my life, I've already given it to you" instead of "and so you've taken it," he makes it clear that this is a gift, that he's willing to give his life to mc and not just passively let mc take it- I'm....

Infold owes us compensation for this emotional damage but I also feel validated because the translation correction feels so validating for my vision of Sylus despite how the mistranslation makes him sound like so much worse of a bastard when we first meet him. I'm thriving, the translator should be given a job because INFOLD CAN AFFORD TO HIRE ACTUAL PROFESSIONALS. Okay, sorry. Thank you SO much for this ask, I'm so complimented to that you thought of me when you saw this and wanted to share it 💗💗💗💗

How would the NDA handle a sick Vivia? And/or what would Vivia be like when he's sick?

Honestly, a sick Vivia probably isn't too much different from a normal Vivia... XD Like if he's just feverish he'd probably just be a little more sleepy than usual and maybe just not listen when people are speaking to him. I think for anyone to know he's sick, he'd need more symptoms that actually make it more obvious. Especially audible ones (sneezing/coughing/sniffling/raspy vocals)

As for how the NDA would handle him? First of all, I think Yakou would try to get him out of the fireplace to lay down somewhere more comfortable, but it wouldn't work and Vivia would stay put... X'D So Yakou instructs the NDA to get Vivia blankets and pillows, tea/water, ice, soup, and medicine. And maybe a nice new book to read. (though they'd probably fail to get one Vivia actually likes, and the only one who even slightly has a clue about his taste in literature is yuma... x'D) So they each buy a different type of book.

But poor Vivia would be too tired to move and too dizzy to read any books on his own. So to cheer him up, the NDA decides to each take turns reading their chosen books to Vivia. A little NDA storytelling circle around the fireplace to help the sick and tired spectral detective feel better and maybe help him to go to sleep~ ^-^ Yuma has a novel he actually likes, Desuhiko gets a romance/comedy novel, Fubuki gets an adventure novel, Halara gets a book about cats. And Yakou?? He probably just reads the newspaper to him... XD

Even if Vivia doesn't care for some of the genres, he feels too much peace to care so he smiles all bundled in a big warm blanket and laying his chin on a soft pillow as he hears all his friends read different stories to him to help him feel better <3

Hello random tumblr user, I think you're really cool and also your new blog theme is very lovely, I love it :3

Thank you fellow random tumblr user! I also think that you are very cool, and write very excellent fics.

Also I am so glad you like it! I spent a surprisingly long time messing with the design.

Do you have any plugins for blender you tend to use? I always get recommended some but they feel like they'd just mess with my workflow. Also bnuuy.

i honestly just stick with vanilla as much as i can so my workflow is as versatile as possible. the last thing i want is to be shackled by some plugin that may or may not be around in a few years

[ribbononline]

just wanted to stop by and say I adore your sprites so much!!! the way you capture movement and dynamic poses with pixels is just *chef's kiss* and the way you use colors makes my monkey brain want to eat them like candy LMAO I hope you have a wonderful life

This is incredibly sweet THANK YOU! I wish the same to you kind stranger :]
