#tagging things can be very subjective

[kittygirlpaw]

I don't wanna throw shade at anyone but tagging things while censoring the tag (or even using multiple censored tags of the same thing!) so it becomes almost incomprehensible is defeating the point of a tag so people can look for it or avoid it. Like I don't wanna be a downer here but it feels completely counter-productive. Just say it with your chest and it will make everything easier I promise.

No, she can't do all of them, make a choice. She can do one mainly but have the rest be assumed as hobbies or something but I know people are gonna be like 'ALL OF THE ABOVE' that defeats the purpose of the poll.

Okay move over Professor Inkling I found a new contender for playing "they're the same guy" with Count Bleck

I CONCEDE THAT I WAS GRASPING FOR STRAWS THE FIRST TIME AROUND BUT I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED EPISODE 3 (yeah I know I'm late to the party) AND WHAT THE FUCK.

"Essay" about it under the cut (and SPM spoilers... and EP 3 spoilers if you're like me and also late to the party)

You know what! Here's my previous posts on the topic as well, in case you wanna catch up on this nonsense! Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Okay let me get this part out of the way first. TIMPANI AND QUEENIE(???). To be fair to Bleck here, Tippi did come back to life. In fact, she never actually died, she just kind of changed form. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK THAT SAME KIND OF THING HAPPENED TO QUEENIE. So these two "widows" are STILL in the same boat there! Blumiere was also a decent guy with real noble goals (ha.) before Timpani was turned into a Pixil. Then he lost his goddamn mind about it and became Count Bleck... So, we don't know what Kinger was like before his wife abstracted, but if it's revealed that Queenie's abstraction was a direct cause of him going "crazy", then huzzah. As a bonus to this point, both Count Bleck and Kinger are still good people at heart even when accounting for their flaws. Bleck still took in the rest of his team (minus Dimentio) and probably at some point genuinely wished they could each have their own worlds. He tried to end the multiverse all because he really missed his girlfriend. Still a dick move, but he wasn't evil. Thank God Kinger doesn't have a Dark Prognosticus and Chaos Heart-- he can't exactly try to destroy the circus if he doesn't have a means to do so. Though, I don't think he would try anyways. He seems... better than Bleck when it comes to regulating his emotions. Plus, Bleck was very likely much younger when he thought his dad murdered Timpani.

Next up, appearances! AKA the obvious angle. Just look at them. They've both got a long garment that covers everything below the neck (that includes the colours Purple and White!), floating disembodied hands covered by white gloves, and neither of them actually have limbs. Count Bleck's just got the head and torso, really. Kinger is a chess piece. I'd also argue that limited facial features is also a factor, as while Bleck does have a visible mouth, neither of them have noses or ears. Not that it particularly matters, but Bleck's eyes are red/orange/yellow/white (it's a gradient) while Kinger's got blue, and ALL of those colours listed for Bleck are commonly in cahoots with blue. Red and Blue are seen as opposites in games like TF2, Orange is Blue's ACTUAL opposite, Yellow + Blue makes Green, and White + Blue are often paired together in the colour palettes of characters and environments. I just thought that was neat.

The last piece of "evidence" I want to talk about is relationships, but that deserves a whole new post because there is a LOT to talk about there. I'll leave this here on the rather hilarious note that they're both probably bisexual, but they've got bigger things to worry about right now. No, seriously, Bleck's cape has the bisexual colours (my FAVOURITE kind of "evidence" for LGBTQA+ headcanons) and Kinger x Caine is apparently one of the most popular ships in the TADC fandom. Good enough for me!

oh.. So I just found 16 IS the final volume good god... So that volume would have both my favorite chapter of this series and the worst chapter(s) of ANY PIECE OF MEDIA I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED(this is a personal take) in the same book oh god no....I thought it'd be separated into two volumes, there is no hecking way I ever want to set my eyes on the later chapters of this series, it feels so terrible!!! I was thinking I have to look up some reference to draw that fan comic series I'm drawing because there is a character design I need reference of (yes.. Sarina in 163) but I have to brace myself for even that. The later chapters hurt. It's made me suffer but in a very hollow and meaningless way for me, things felt very unnecessarily cruel. I hated it.

I was; thinking of buying the one w 154 in it and making it my last(I have all the physical copies so far) but goodness.. Hahaha

I bet the author knew splitting the later chapters as separate volumes would be bad on the sales. I get that, but this is the worst!!! I learned the existence of 166.5 too and hahah, I only happen to read the outline but it's so bad...omg akane's into occult??? What.?? I'm glad Kana went to hollywood but seriously??? Is this a joke? and Well I'm glad Ai's not there, glad she's not ruined, I'm actually pretty sure my.. What I've been making out of this series could be better in some aspects, oh I'm ACTUALLY relieved they don't discuss my favs in the added content too! What a relief!!

This comic is, I'm so sorry to say this, but it's so dumb!!! And rude!! Goodness!! Ugh!! Oh I'm.. I..; I'll def give at least a few characters from this series some sort of better closure in my fanwork, I sound so entitled rn I'm sure but, it's TERRIBLE... The original piece is badly written!! Wow, this series had the most ugliest and unfulfilling ending I've ever seen and I'm really sad about that. I devoted a lot of my passion and time and love thinking about it. I wonder what the author has on their mind but l'm sure they know what reception their work would have, it's not their first work either.

I felt really distressed reading the final few chapters of this piece but maybe it wasn't even worth feeling that grief over, I felt really distressed. It actually hurt;;;because it handled a lot of these emotional pain and certain subjects really bad. Things felt so helpless and awkward, I've never been this disappointed about something I read and that is a lot because I had a lot of let-downs. But maybe it wasn't even worth clutching my head over trying to make sense and devote my efforts into deciphering and analyzing things after all. But oh I'm so glad they don't discuss anything about Hikaru and Ai even in the added content in the volume(seems like it?) They don't- I'm sure the writer holds a lot of love towards Ai, I think she's the best written character in this piece(look what happened to Aqua; I can't even say he's written so well anymore and I liked him a lot before the final arc!!)-give them ANY justice

I can chill and do whatever I want w them now omg, idk about Ai but I think I can write Hikaru better, how are they even going to make the anime's third season with this mess I can't???;

I actually wanted a physical print of 154 but I don't want to have those later chapters on my shelf, it feels terrible to read them. It's just unnecessarily painful and it got engraved to my brain in the worst ways, I just don't know why the author would do that, I wanted to love their piece so I kept hanging by and it was so ugly.

This is a very personal take and I know it sounds emotional and all and you may not agree with me!! but I feel this way upon having learned these things. Incredible.

I'm so conflicted. I did want 154 but am I going to risk getting the book for the sake of it. The cons are way too strong. Hikaru I'm so sorry for what they formed of you as a character, the writer ditched you. I don't blame the artist, I blame the writer. The art IS good. It's ridiculous, but maybe it's safer that way. I hope they don't have anything to do with that character ever again, and Ai as well. I'm thankful they weren't ruined any further. Not in a sarcastic way, I'm sincerely relieved. What a piece this is.

i can draw again hi

[hermitcraftx]

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.

no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this

thinking abt games that hate female characters + currently replaying p4g (because I am a completionist and want to get all the achievements for at least one persona game and p4 seems the most achievable). what's especially frustrating to me is that naoto is a character who definitely should be up my alley (speaking as a girl in a traditionally male-dominated profession who prefers wearing more masculine clothes and having short hair and thought I might be a boy at 15 before coming to the conclusion that it wasn't for me) if they didn't do the whole gender thing in a horrifically transphobic way and didn't execute the whole "accepting being a woman" thing in an also completely terrible way. checking out guides to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot with social links and holy shit I hate so many of these choices for naoto.

It might just be me, but I feel like when it comes to a piece of media that is blatantly going to be horror and is intended for mature audiences, sometimes you as the viewer need to be aware of your own limits and look into if there's content that'll genuinely emotionally hurt you before you make the choice to consume it.

It's horror. By nature it is meant to be triggering and contain/explore sensitive subject material.

Not everything comes with a detailed trigger warning beyond "Hey, don't consume this if you're not in a good head space," and when it doesn't that's not indicative of moral failing on the authors part or of an exploitative, crass story.

Ok: so if a character has multiple pronouns (like he/it or she/they) then which way makes it easier to track who's doing what in a story?

One, just switching as you would irl (he picked up its shoes and set them on the shelf)

Or

Two, switch every chapter (chapter one: he picked up his shoes and set them on the shelf) (chapter two: it picked up its shoes and set them on the shelf)

I have seen it done both ways, and to me it doesn't affect the flow of the writing as long as the author has experience. At the very least, it doesn't cause any more problems than just writing two characters with the same pronouns. For example: (she picked up her T-shirt.) does not make it clear that there are two people, one owning the shirt and one picking it up while (she picked up her roommate's T-shirt.) does make that clear.

I think that either way, it should be indicated what the character's pronouns are, either in an appendix of characters or woven into the story. And y'all have been saying for years (and I soooo agree) that we need to bring back appendices of characters/fun facts at the back of books (so much so that I'm going to start putting them into my books lol)

question to game devs on this site: what would be the best version of rpgmaker to use if i wanted to create a game akin to harvest moon/rune factory/stardew valley? i would love to get into game making but i am not sure which version would be best for what i wanna make...
