Since you are already in the Production of Queen Wasp, I suppose you already made the choice of who gets the left miraculous, how you made it? Based on ideas for their debut? Or a design you really enjoyed? Did how your followers react to them influenced your decision-making?

I do know who is getting what Miraculous, and believe me, I went hard figuring out how things would get distributed. I made charts:

The table is in Green because I had to look at my google-doc's post history to get the non-spoilery version of it.

I started with a basic "what powers are useful in this episode"? Which did help, but was also kind of devastating because it knocked out quite a few swaps that I had liked lol.

The Dog is shockingly useful when the enemy's powers are all connected and held together by a single object, huh?

After that, I compared possible uses for each Miraculous vs the Canon one, to figure out how exactly a Miraculous could be used in each scenario, while keeping canon in mind:

Obviously I won't share all the method's I came up with because that'd be spoiler territory.

Then I started testing variables. I knew which episodes a character would get their Miraculous, so I was down to just the one variable - the Miraculous. "What if I gave [x] this Miraculous, what does that leaves for the other episodes?" There were a surprising amount that just didn't work, so it quickly became easy to knock it down to what I finally ended up with. But for fun I did design all six possible Miraculous-getters with all five Miraculouses, so, no, the design didn't influence who got what, and no, my followers didn't influence who got what either.

I used math.

another thing amongst the ten thousand other whatever the hell happened in WL ep 5 that continues to baffle and confuse me is the Gem and BigB trade conversation??? Because. Gem. GeminiTay. Why do you need to suddenly be in favour of the 5Gs alliance???

Gem: No, BigB, here’s the thing. What I trade is actually not items, I actually trade social things. So, you know how your alliance really hates me right now?

BigB: Yes.

Gem: If you could just say good things every now and then, I’ll give you a creeper egg.

BigB: Okay, I will say that Cleo is hard to convince, but I will give my best.

Gem: Well, you don’t need to say— you know what, I’ve burned… Well, I’ve exploded the bridge with Cleo, so that’s okay.

BigB: Okay.

Gem: I think just maybe Pearl, y’know, Impulse, Scott. Y’know, just say nice things— it can just be, y’know, they’re talking and you go “oh Gem’s barn is so nice” just every now and then, okay? Alright?

BigB: Consider it done.

I just. Of all the things she could’ve asked from BigB, why was it for him to just. Say nice things about her to Pearl, Impulse and Scott??? After setting up a whole narrative where the whole server thinks Pearl and Impulse have been antagonising her, and knowing that Scott is already on her side (something along the lines of it anyway, judging from what she tells Pearl later on and her telling Jimmy and Scar that Scott trusts her enough for her to lure him into a trap)??? After making it clear that as of right now she doesn’t ‘love’ Pearl??? Girl what was the point of that. Girl. Girl your mind…no genuinely Gem GeminiTay I need to dissect your brain to finally figure out what’s going on

I’m sorry I just fell in love with the rough pencil style… it’s just SO GOOD, I love it so much lol.

(Also this is the first time I drew ballora since like 2 years ago!)

also also, idk what to draw… these cursed hands want to draw but yet can’t come up with anything TO draw, but Ballora was pretty fun to draw! I like how it turned out!

Michael and Elizabeth meeting up again in Fnaf 6, with Liz as Scrapbaby, but Liz still doesn't recognize Mike as her brother, but as Eggs Benedict. And she kind of feels bad about the whole thing because she didn't really want to hurt anyone and was just desperate to escape, and seeing Mike again, she fully understands how messed up the whole thing was. Especially since she sees that he has a family (Jeremy, Gregory and Cassie often come around the pizzeria to help out) and wasn't some random lonely guy nobody would miss like she had thought.

It doesn't help her guilt that Mike is trying to free her, and the others', souls, despite what she did to him. She doesn't really understand why he would do that, and so they eventually start talking a bit, as much as they can with her messed up voice box and his own difficulty to talk after the scooping.

And Mike is torn up about the whole thing because he knows that it's his little sister, and he knows she doesn't know who he really is, but they have become rather friendly and he still hasn't said anything. But he's terrified of doing so, because he doesn't want her to feel as awful as he did when he killed Evan.

But a part of him is also terrified that she won't care, that she'll be happy, because of everything that happened at SL, and because she always loved William so much and wanted to make him proud. And he would feel even worse for thinking like that, cause it's his baby sister, and she wouldn't be like that, but he can't help thinking about it.

Jeremy tries to reassure him about it, and to convince him to talk to Liz because she deserves the truth no matter what, but Mike is way too scared to lose her again for that.

I'm not too sure what would happen when Liz eventually finds out about it all. She would obviously feel much worse about killing him since he wasn't actually a random stranger, but she is also hurt that Mike kept it a secret. Maybe she would understand his point of view anyway, after a while thinking about it.

speedpaint!!

you can also support me and watch this vid on youtube or insta ヾ(^▽^*)))

recently i tried to record my drawing process, but why? 1 - because it's can be interesting + somewhat entertaining, 2 - for memo, 3 - that everything i draw made by hand and not by shitty AI

thank you if you reading this! have a good day and don't forget to drink some water luv you!! ο(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆

Extremely quick Ballora sketch

Again, if anyone has seen anyone post their results of doing the ALG method long enough to speak a significant amount, let me know. I'm going to do one last search on youtube of people discussing their Dreaming Spanish progress, and even if they didn't do it completely the ALG way (since some users of Dreaming Spanish videos studied with anki or word lists or word translation lookups at some point) I hope they may still describe what activities they did to develop speaking skills after they had developed good listening skills first. I want to know: did they shadow? Did they talk on their own? Did they talk with a language partner, and was it someone correcting their mistakes or them correcting their own mistakes later, or them just talking with no monitoring of mistakes besides making sure they keep talking until understood (as in re-explain in other ways if their partner is confused)? Did they do writing exercises? Did they do speaking or writing drills?

I wanna see the necklace omg! That’s so cool of y’all

THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME you are my favorite

we used to have a silver otherkin star that we wore daily, but the top fixture snapped. rather than replace it, we figured the plural rings were a little more accurate for us now, anyway.

a friend ended up doing the model (albeit while we sat behind and gave feedback), we paid shapeways for the printing, for speed & just to save us the trouble of actually producing something to "daily wear" standards. would recommend.

Social anxiety is finding someone you feel comfortable talking about subjects to, but you're never really sure when they are actually wanting to discuss basic FNAF lore or just think you're being annoying again

what do you use to make your second life screenshots so good? i just started playing and i have my avatar how i want and i wanna take aesthetic shots, just dont know how lol

i take my images on the Black Dragon viewer since it's more customizable from a photographer's standpoint. it takes a while to get used to it though if you're unfamiliar but once you've found your footing it's great.

you can also use it to make custom poses or edit existing ones.. which is what i usually do.

i don't really do much besides that tbh. a lot of my studio shots are just posed in front of prim i've stretched out as a faux backdrop. my location shots really just depend on my surrounding environment. i suggest you explore a bit &find some nice sims to take photos on. be careful though cause it can become taxing to your computer based on what type of system specs you have.

also windlights are your friend. there's a bunch out there that you can install into your viewer or you can play around with the default ones &save them as presets.

"pre-civilization" is a racist term all by itself, as is the idea that migratory populations cannot be indigeneous. indigeneity is not genetic and not innate. it is a relationship with a colonizing entity.

literally every other definition of indigeneity can be weaponised to either 1. justify colonizing a certain people who don't meet the arbitrary standard, for example under your definition palestinians and domari are not indigeneous because they are post-civ and dom are migrants to the region, and 2. can be used to cloak revanchist, reactionary fascism in post-colonial societies in the language of liberation.

i do not know why you need a scholar to tell you this. i usually respect your willingness not to center yourself in these topics as someone who is not currently living under a settler colonial occupation. it is very tiresome to see people opine about indigeneity when they cannot even get the definition of the word right, and then argue with indigeneous people when we correct them.

I agree I shouldn't have used pre-civilization. I honestly feel like "civilization" is a very colonial term that reinforces the myth that societies evolve in a linear progression. I meant the fact that they remained distinct from the kind of later agrarian society that can pack up, migrate and settle elsewhere, whose technologies created expansionism and competition for resources.

I live under extractive colonialism, the Global South exists under colonality, we also need a way of describing that colonization without infringing on the colonization we inflict on others. There has to be a difference between native and indigenous. I want to be clear on what that is and whether it changes with context, because this is not the definition I have understood all my life. I never dispute that you are indigenous because you know your own struggle.

Please understand that I associate the term indigenous that something that when misapplied turns into bloody ethnic violence against your own neighbours. Eelam Tamils are colonized by us but their claim of indigeneity involved massacring Muslims praying in their mosques and forcible assimilation and displacement of Indigenous Tamils. Sinhalese who had also been in the North since the British took over and were part of their communities were expelled by them— were they indigenous? Malayyiah Tamils are kept ghettoised and indentured to the tea plantations they were brought here from India to work a hundred years ago. Many of them are not remaining in Sri Lanka by choice, others feel this is their homeland now. They're indisputably colonized yet I have never heard the term indigenous applied to them. The Veddahs were turned into a freak show by the British which was continued by the Sinhalese post-independence, or forced to leave when the agriculture of the locals deforested their lands— by the natives who had also been there for untold generations and also called themselves indigenous under British colonization. I can't imagine calling them settlers.

So yes, I want to figure out whether I have misunderstood the definition I have seen used specifically to protect the people who have been rooted in to the land they live off of and can't migrate to another place without losing their entire way of life, unlike the rest of us. I want to understand whether it's different according to the ways people are colonized. I'm sorry but neither your identity nor mine confers authority on whether other people conceptualize indigeneity differently and why. This is me telling you why what you tell me doesn't gel with what I know, not that I'm appointing myself the final authority on the subject. Please give me the space to learn about it on my own with academics and sources I know and trust.
