adding more information/nuance:

when you pressed the fast forward button, it would typically stay depressed & keep fast forwarding indefinitely until it got to the end of (that side of) the tape or you pressed the play button to resume.

there actually were some cassette players/decks (players were sometimes called “cassette decks” or just “decks”), on the nicer end, that could “skip”; the skip feature just didn’t work like CDs or modern devices where you press the button & it started playing the next song immediately. it was simply an automated version of the manual fast forwarding described above that would stop at the end of a song. you would still have to wait for it to fast forward, though.

tapes had two sides; you’d listen to half an album on the A side, then you’d have to physically take out the cassette, flip it around, and play the B side (kinda like with a vinyl). nicer players/decks sometimes had an option where it would flip the thing that reads the cassette inside the deck so you didn’t have to take the tape out. the older, cheaper, & portable ones typically wouldn’t have this feature.

a single audio cassette could only hold so much audio. 60 minutes (30m each side) was technically the standard, but they could sometimes reach 150m (or 2 hours 30m; 75m each side) at the high end.

audiobooks on cassette, called “books on tape”, would typically require multiple cassettes to fit an entire book due to this size limitation. each cassette would come with an audio message at the end telling you you’d reached the end if the tape but not the book, and informing you which cassette to put in next. audiobooks often come packaged in big, hardback novel, book-sized cases with multiple slots (or more rarely, in even larger cases, bigger than a textbook. most of the ones I saw like that though were like… seminar recordings?)

“tape” technically referred to the (typically translucent gray) magnetic strip that was spooled up inside the plastic cassette, but we commonly referred to the whole cassette as “a tape”. this is true of any medium that used tape: audio cassettes, VHS, camcorder micro-cassettes, etc.

it was also common for the actual tape inside cassettes (which was very delicate) to come loose & spill out of the cassette. if you weren’t incredibly careful, this could be very bad and lead to permanent damage to the audio. you’d have to stick something like your finger (if it was small enough) or a pencil in one of the wheels on the side of the cassette and turn it to tighten the tape and make it go back inside.

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

hello everyone please welcome my very original very new characters, if you think you already saw them somewhere or think they were inspired by anyone just know i have LITERALLY no idea what you're talking about...

(LONG ASS RANT DOWN HERE)

in al seriousness we all know who they are but i'm too heartbroken to let them go yet, so i'm officially making them my own. his deisign is inspired by one of the startouch elves concept art, and i intend to make him everything i wanted and hoped the original character would have been, so i'm trying to incorporate everything i liked about him into this character! she's just a slightly redesigned version of the orphan queen, and by the way i'm probably going to use the og name i had for her two years ago, which is eliana ((meaning both "god has answered" and also "sun/daughter of the sun", which i find fitting bc startouch elves are supposed to be like literal gods, and he appeared in her life as a "savior" (she will later find out he's n o t), while sun symbolizes truth, and she will bring truth to the world about his nature and deceit.))

about his name- i'm struggling. i liked "antares" (the brightest star in the scorpio constellation), arwin (liar), dolion (deceit) and tabrass ("one known to be deceitful") but not one clicked yet. accepting suggestions

these designs might have some changes later, just like the names

i am probably not drawing them in the nearby future, just needed to get this designs out of my head so i can have peace! their dynamic is so special to me and i def want to explore it more, in my own way, without the show's influence or scared it might ruin it for me. i am doing this for myself, and for the characters i fell in love with during these (almost) two years of drawing them.

hope some of you will stick around to see them come to life, in this new forms.

💝

Narinder Reference

[Look who got it done !!AND I DIDN'T FORGET TO ADD HIS TAIL!]

Below will be extras that will be added to periodically.

It is his left ring finger that was taken from him. Lost during his fight with his siblings.

The loss of his finger was done by Heket. This binding was her extra precuation as well as her way of getting back for what he took.

The veil is only worn for special events/sermons [oh he has a hangover and wants privacy XD]

Narinder has rbf at times but he does smile around children when he thinks no one is looking, or he is looking at something he likes. (The veil was very much used in younger years to hide this XD)

Since leaving his prison, the lack of feeling of something holding him/weighing on his body has left him feeling off. To adjust he started wearing compressions and slightly heavier clothes.

Later (waaayyy later) he will gain his wight back but till then, he is kinda stick boy.

My most recent art of Sunday from Hsr:

Compared to the reference:

And the first sketch...

[wetwork09]

ok so my girlfriend bought me this cool ass little... mannequin???? idk how to call it, but im actually in love

the human body is unfortunately too sturdy for most pretty and dynamic poses but i think if taking this goober as some main reference and adding uhhh cartoonishness and disproportions of your artstyle to it you can work it out? honestly idk but i think its a useful thingy

also tried making some 💥💥💥ULTRAKILL💥💥💥 references, but they're not perfect copies of course

New Shadow ref..

give me feedback pls.. i feel i need it🥶🥶

[jkl-fff]

Well, frock my priests, that sounds delightful!

I thought today - the TV show I'd really like to see is one about a medieval monastery.

You could have all kinds of characters: the pious guy who joined because he wanted to serve God, the son born out of wedlock sent there to cover up his parents' shame, the geek who wanted to study Latin but couldn't afford to go into university, the former knight sick of violence and afraid for his soul... Plus monasteries were centres of pilgrimage and places where criminals could take refuge, so we can have a lot of characters who crop up for a few episodes and leave.

Some plotlines I thought of:

Our relics aren't bringing in the pilgrims the way they used to - what do we do?

A women fleeing an abusive marriage has taken shelter in the monastery - how will the brothers respond to having a women in their midst?

One of the monks wants to leave - will the abbot accept or not?

A murderer has taken refuge in the abbey, and the abbot decides to try and save his soul - what will happen?

People are coming to the monastery for food during the famine, but the monastery is itself short of food - how will this be dealt with?

War has broken out between two local lords, and the monks attempt to broker a treaty - will it work?

I've already mentioned some reasons why I think this setting would lend itself to television, but I'd also love to make it for two other reasons:

Get people to understand how weird medieval religion could get, but also that, within its own frame of reference, it was a reasonable and consistent belief system.

Show people that the Middle Ages consisted of more than just muddy people stabbing each other and burning scientists at the stake.
