so what exactly is that original story of yours about? your writing is really good, so I wanna see what you had in mind
American Western style cowboys-and-bandits RPG! The story follows a young sheriff—daughter of the doting mayor of a newly settled town—and the group of masked bandits wreaking havoc via time-space manipulation
I only have the bandits' leader's design settled (which is an older oc design i repurposed for the story) so everyone else is extremely loose, but I'd like to make it all very colorful and cartoon-y by making the character designs styled after sweets/sugar/candy. that should give me a fair bit of artistic liberty, as well as some fun worldbuilding ideas
mostly i just love time travel stories and games that ask you to mess around with their own files, and i think those two aspects would work insanely well together. it's gonna be a headache to figure out how to do it, from a technical/programming perspective, but it would be uhhh very cool and I'd love to be the one to do that. smiles.
#i mean there's def people who've done that before. i need to put their games in my wishlist so i can study them under microscope like bugs#and also drown myself in traditional western vs spaghetti western films (my childhood....) as a refresher#so I can get The Flavor right#western style RPGs too. though my videoludic experience is wayyy smaller#answered asks#gumdrop dead

As someone who loves both Kenny and Violet, I feel like I’ve found my calling here 😭😭😭
They’re genuinely so similar, and I do agree that the fandom has male bias, as well as protagonist bias actually
Clementine has the opportunity to befriend/romance Violet and then let her get kidnapped 20 minutes later. And for Violet, that is the most obvious feeling of betrayal! I don’t understand why people in the fandom struggle to realize that their actions have consequences
Lee can basically hate Kenny the entirety of the first season and then the fandom defends Kenny for his actions.
Clearly most of us totally understand Kenny’s response to Lee’s and by extension Clementine’s behavior, so why can’t they understand Violet’s response to Clem’s? Makes no sense to me
honestly i feel like aside from having a male bias the fandom has more of a kenny bias than a protag bias. i see his ass EVERYWHERE. CONSTANTLY. some people act like he raised clem as much as lee did 😭 (and i dont like the way the fandom talks about clem sometimes 😒 ties into the "weird about women" stuff)(and javi? wheres javi? i would like to see more javi. i actually think i see david more than javi)
anyway. i DO find kenny to be a compelling character and understand Why hes popular. its why i initially thought vi would be more popular among those fans! people who like both kenny and vi i can trust to have understood the assignment 💀 because they really do share similarities. but things some people LOVE kenny for they absolutely LOATHE violet for. and its just???? whats not clicking???
i really dont understand why some people act So Shocked by violets reaction in the cells. like hello?? YOU did this to her??? shes done nothing but put herself on the line for clem (even if clem is mean and ungrateful about it), and the One time vi needs clem to have her back, she doesnt (even tho its an impossible choice to make, and deep down vi understands this). and people shock pikachu face when it pushes her back to minnie like no shit??? but i dont think theyre even paying attention to violets character in the first place so 🙄😑 violet settled into that leadership position on her own and not only do you strip her of that role by letting her get taken she also feels discarded by the One Person who was actually influencing her to change for the better in the first place. AND you can do it all 20 minutes after kissing her. of course shes hurt!!! but people act like shes soooo unreasonable for her behavior (and vi would later agree with them! she tries apologizing to clem on the beach actually. thats how quickly she regrets it. but its too late at that point for her i guess 🙄 irredeemable. to the stocks)
kenny will Literally refuse to help lee look for clem if you pissed him off too much like 😭?? if you arent kissing kennys ass 24/7 he is the worlds biggest bitch about it. but endless excuses for kennys behavior for some reason 🤨 him trying to save ben (or christa but its better with ben narratively) is his first Real selfless act and its why its such a compelling conclusion for his S1 arc (only compounded by the fact its BEN of all people hes trying to save, the reason his family is dead). and S2 kenny is all about how his mental health is in sharp decline and hes becoming more violent as he attempts to control what he cannot 💀 kenny defenders out here using up all the oxygen in the room to make excuses for his actions but the minute vi makes One mistake she immediately regrets (after being nothing but loyal), shes an evil bitch deserving of what she got 😐
gee i wonder why 😭😔
#i LIKE that everybody is a different flavor of Fucked Up TM and react to fucked up situations in various fucked up ways#and dont even get me started on the way vi and louis are basically equal opposites coming at the same arc from polar ends#but people will still find a way to hate one and love the other MAKE IT MAKE SENSE#i can understand maybe not liking them Equally but to LOVE one and hate the other??? esp when they love each other so much??#louis winning the character poll that vi lost to ben on in round 2 💀 yall are REALLY not paying attention to her huh. the dichotomy..#vi deserves better than this 😔 girl get behind me. all twdg women get behind me. i'll defend your right to fuck up queens#twdg#replies with lexi#bourbonificould

I combined footage from my Detektiv Conan Blu-ray with audio from my Case Closed FUNimation DVD and made an HD English dub clip compilation for Episodes 57-58, "The Holmes Freak Murder Case."
#detective conan#case closed#video#funimation english dub script#i wasn't actually gonna post this video to tumblr because it's so long (because i have a lot of feelings about this case!)#but folks on discord liked it and i'm all about my funi dub propaganda so why not right?#the dub script here is just so fun--and does so well at making the dialogue *work* and sound natural in english#and has so much flavor! it does arguably too much in terms of creative liberties but things like#'can i really trust what a kid saw?' of the sub translation compared to 'and what were you smoking before you ran out there?' in the dub#are much more enjoyable to me#(other fun phrasings: 'the one who's always hangin' around you guys' (sub) vs. 'the little-bitty one with the great big brain!' (dub))#(and 'of course not! the reason i applied for this tour was 'cuz i thought i might find kudo' (sub))#(vs. 'who me? no no no. actually i signed up because i was hoping to run into jimmy here. but i guess i'm out of luck' (dub))#(and so many more! this script just has so much character)#and while it is a shame that the dub eliminated heiji's accent i do like the changed line ('i know it's you!')#'cause you've met shinichi *once* heiji lol#but yeah this is a fun case! i'm really happy to have finally hd'd the funi dub for it :')#one of my favorite things about the funi dub is that jerry jewell (shinichi's va) voices conan's thoughts#and it's so nice to hear *shinichi* and heiji deducting together (and the way they finish each other's thoughts and vibe... it gets to me)

Happy birthday Viktor! Ignore Jayce over there, he's cut out bc this isn't about him/j
#For those interested the cake flavor is tres leches with blackberry jam. Because I had it once in a birthday and it was rlly good#It's already December 29th here so might as well idc anymore I'll post now or else I'll spend the rest of the day fixing and refining detai#Over and over and over and it'll never be done. Because ughhhh I'm not that happy with the result tbh#I always feel like the final is a lot more stiff than the sketch. Like damn I took away all the whimsy and life in it smh#Also it wasn't the idea but Vik ended up looking like he wants Jayce bad. Idk what to do about that? but what's done's done good for them i#viktor arcane#i drew something#arcane fanart#Arcane#Arcane season one#I guess#viktor arcane fanart#not tagging jayce bc this isn't about him/j#Fun fact today is also my sister's birthday but that can wait. It's barely 1am Viktor comes first#Anyways I've recently been trying some new things with my rendering. I quite like this style! It's so fun#But yea I'll probably try to make more Viktor and Jayce art to bury this one bc I feel like I didn't do them justice here#Also sorry if I get the right and left mixed up in the description in alt for the record I genuinely am that dumb#alt text#described#image description in alt

This is partially for myself but also I am taking anyone who can relate gently by the hand when I say this
It is okay to ask for help.
It is okay to recognize when a dog is struggling with something that is beyond your current skills/knowledge. It is okay to call on your village or reach out to a trainer, even if you yourself are a trainer. It is okay not to know everything.
And it is far better to ask for help so that you and the dog can both learn and gain new skills than it is to beat yourself up in silence.
#this is not about Faye or Forte#but i did sit down with my boss today and ask for the village#my boss was very supportive and has scheduled a meeting for monday to get everyone on board with helping#part of me feels really shitty because I can see where I'm falling short with this dog#and there's so much that this awesome about this dog#but i am struggling to figure out how to help him through this particular flavor of dog aggression#i want so badly to do right by this dog#so I'm really grateful to have others to call on to help me help him#and if this post os relatable please accept a fistbump of solidarity#and also a nice calming beverage while you take a deep breath#it's really hard to feel like you are failing a dog#but asking for help from others is not a failure#it's a testament to the desire to learn and do better

Okay I know Athena praying to Poseidon is just part of her disguise as mentor. however I cannot stop thinking about the meta of it.
Like gods praying to gods how does that work? Is it just a message system? Do godly prayers /feel/ different. Is it a power dynamic thing? And that's not even taking into account Athena and Poseidon's rivalry.
#Poseidon#Athena#the odyssey#The sociopolotical system of gods and how does praying affect that#gods praying to other gods#There has to be a power play element to it right? There cannot not be#Poseidon receiving some delightful prayers from menelaus and enjoying them and then getting hit with athenas prayer of#Fuck you bitch I'm going to ruin your entire day#headcanon that prayers have flavors#I know that in general Athena always knew exactly what she could get away with and was always careful to not be publicly#Go against any of the big three pretty sure I remember a scene in the odyssey where ody is like where you been girl and Athena has been lik#Hello??? Do you think this many random ass people would just help you like that no all those people were me I just couldn't be seen#going against my uncle#And so her prayers to poseidon were probably not just a string of challenges and insults#Especially because Athena has been waiting for this timing for poseidon to be probably distracted before getting odysseus released#However I think it it's funny so pls imagine Poseidon getting hit in the face with the equivalent of acid as Athena cursed him#Ohhh wait I'm having big thoughts for an different idea#There's a lot of fics about Athena getting odysseus released and how she couldn't hear his prayers/reach him but#Have we considered an Athena who could but still couldn't do anything until poseidon was away and distracted#Odysseus silently praying when he can get away with because calypso absolutely does not allow that Athena pls pls help#Athena: hold tight my warrior we cannot free you until my uncle is away

in other news, aubree does not know it yet but she is now a level one paladin and I have all of the feelings about it
#I literally can't verbally talk about it too much I get choked up#what if your desire to offer kindness and peace and justice and mercy to anyone you can was so powerful it manifested as divine magic!!#what then!!!#what if you resolved so strongly to become a better person just to be worthy of the responsibility to do right by others!#what if you felt-- for the first time-- the real weight of the responsibility of doing real and meaningful good in a complicated world#and took up that weight in bith hands without question! without hesitation! with no fear except that you might not be worthy of it!!#what then!!!!#😭#when I BUILT her I knew she was lowkey paladin flavored but#as the plot unfolded she became unexpectedly aligned with a god that didn't make sense to Be A Paladin Of per se#and then the cavalier subclass was released and gave her a lot of the protective flavor I wanted and I was satisfied#but this story has put her through so many transformative experiences that have expanded her worldview and recontextualized her own values#that now she's a warrior of light SOLELY on the strength of her own convictions! because she believes SO STRONGLY in doing the right thing#at any cost-- because doing meaningful good is so much more complicated than she ever realized but it's NEVER been more important#shit-kicker asshole bar brawling fighter blazes with holy light out of her own overwhelming desire to reach out her hands to heal#I fucking cry. I cryyyy I love her so MUCH#my OCs#aubree

10,750 words, I am absolutely fucking insane, wtf
#supercasey ramblings#anyways the shadow fic is going well. chp 2 is done and i'm only making 3 so i'm almost done#pretty sure at this point that i'll publish but i'm still nervous for a variety of reasons:#1. it's in the sonic movie universe and i haven't watched literally any of them yet. but i hate watching things so ugh#i really do wanna watch them! but unfortunately my flavor of adhd hates sitting still for movies#and 2. it's most certainly an au since it'll be a post-third movie story#and because we still don't know the exact details of sonic 3 it's a very wild guess of the movie's events#right now i'm making it more based on sa2 complete with the moon half exploding#again this probably isn't a big deal but i'm anxious nonetheless#so yeah. i guess i'll see if i can manage to watch the movies before posting this#but it'll definitely come out before the third movie premiers#watch as my fic is nothing like the movie and is utter clownshoes#oh well. tis the nature of writing for fandoms i guess#anyways get ready for my self-indulgent fic of a self insert adopting/fostering shadow the hedgehog post-sonic 3#it's gonna be terrible. but also not#sorry for the rambling lol i'm debating on writing more but it's already 10:33 i should really head to bed#might write more tomorrow after work but we'll see. hopefully i can finish the first draft by friday#for no reason other than i want to

Hear me out but villains / protagonist swap au . Where . Adam and Charlie get swapped .
#Like okay !! So basically Adam wants to rehab the sinners cause he’ll keeps getting shittier and shittier with its overpopulation problem#and seemingly no one is doing anything about it . But Charlie doesn’t want to because in this au she’s a sadist and enjoys seeing them suffe#r! it’s like entertainment to her ! (guitar solo fuck yeah!) and then Lute can be swapped with Vaggie (honestly if the angel Vaggie theory#turns out right then they feel like they’d make good parallels for one another) then a few wayward sinners take a chance on the hotel that#Adam managed to set up (Charlie doesn’t believe it’ll work anyways so she’s fine with it happening) and among those sinners are the three Vs#! Vox & Al are swapped (obvs) Va and Angel are swapped (kinda iffy on this cause . I don’t want to make Angel a predator nor do I want to#victimize Val given . who he is.) and Velvette can have Nifty’s role ! somewhat conflicted on who j should swap with Husk and Nifty though#I guess the Vs don’t necessarily need specific swaps . they can just fill the roles of ‘sinners who help around / stay at the hotel ‘#in the same way the og protagonists might not have to be the exact same flavor of evil#just still be antagonists

google search how to put someone down in the nicest way posible when they have no idea how world works in a way
#im sorry i really hope you dont see this because i totally understand your nervous but i genuinely just want to make art for you#if i didnt i wouldnt have offered in the first place#that being said- clarinets are n o t an easy instument to draw#like. it has a lot of tiny tiny details that are needed to understand the mechanics and there arnt many poses could do and#it has a bunch of intricate hand movements needing you to fully draw and work out the hand and-#like bestie if thats what your heart truely desires you can just call it out and i shall try my darndest to get it right#but if you choose it for it to be easy to draw......#then im sorry but. thats. thats not an easy thing to draw#easy thing to draw is smth basic like guitars bass or violins#can get into more with recorders or the sideways flute or giant bass or so many others#sadly this is just. you accidentally pointed out a baked alaska as an easy thing to bake when usually you start with brownies#like i can do cakes and brownies and understand how i can do baked alaska in hypothetical forms. but making one?#thats a whole new and strange and very risky thing to do. ill still try for you but you may just end up with a puddle of flavored cream

i'll say it. i think jelly is a better milk tea mix in than boba
#sasha speaks#boba is also good. very close second#but like soft aiyu jelly? that's my top pick#grass jelly is good too but sometimes it's a little too firm#but that's the problem with boba. depending on where you get it from it can be so inconsistent.#only some places get the chewy texture right sometimes it's just much and sometimes it's undercooked and like. crumbly#actually i got an oolong jelly at one place once and that was great#but not really a standard option and most shops#but if a shop has a light flavored jelly option alongside boba i'm probably gonna choose that over the boba tbh#not the flavored fruit jellies though....they tend to have the wrong texture and be too sweet for me#(of course i get my tea at 50% sweet i am not a fan of drinking straight syrup)
