Yes, Honedge!
Something i'd like to point out about its face:
Tumblr media
It doesn't have a goofy face, the holes in the scabbard just make it look that way. In reality, it just has a single eye.
With that in mind, could you please do a version without the scabbard?
iiii figured this was common knowledge enough to not warrant an additional form, but alright:
Tumblr media
some of the guard disappeared but it's okay. i never even saw that part of the scabbard as a face—the blue eye is very obviously an eye. i don't know if anyone actually thought that was its face. however, i do find it interesting that even after removing the scabbard textures, it still has textures for that "face" remaining:
Tumblr media
which implies it's a face more than anything i've seen of the matter before this point
anyway there's so many asks in the box right now so let's just go through all of them:
in order from oldest to newest, here we go:
Tumblr media
this is true. most of the models are shiny, unless they have a "colladamax" variant
Tumblr media
ahh it's fine. i considered it might have been a request but i also doubted it considering pangoro was literally next so i assumed you were just excited. me complaining about requests was unrelated—another ask i got around the same time
Tumblr media
well then maybe it's not a bad thing. you certainly phrased it like one, it seems, but that might just be unfortunate connotations with the way you said it? glad we could clear up the confusion i guess
Tumblr media
we do need more snakes, but i also like the bipedal pokémon, as a furry. back when everyone was begging sprigatito not to stand up, i saw through their thinly-veiled furry hate and was begging sprigatito to go against the grain and stand up anyway. and then they did and now meowscarada is one of my favorite pokémon. get fucked, normies (i am sorry for saying this)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
↑ i didn't know this until i looked it up! this is interesting. stuff like the male version learning misty terrain but the female version learning more type coverage. this is very strange but i like it. only girls can use magical leaf and charge beam sorry boys
Tumblr media
thank you! i can explain it. it is because pokémon are getting very close and staring at you as for the inspiration for this blog, it was mostly snivy. i remember one day thinking that snivy's big nose would make it look very silly from the front, and being like "damn. someone should compile a list of what every pokémon looks like from the front. damn. that would make a good tumblr blog bc some of those would be really funny. damn. i should do that" and then i did. but that was back in 2020—pretty soon after i ended up starting college which didn't allot me a lot of time for updating this blog, and although i kept swearing i'd go back, somewhat soon after that i went through a breakup and just wanted to take a while for myself. a bit after that, tumblr user sewatari reblogged one of the posts on this blog again (the weedle post, i believe?) and singlehandedly revived this blog by reminding me that they still cared about it. and that's fucking awesome?? tbh?? so thank them for this blog's continued existence. if you scroll waaaayyyy back far enough in the archive, you'll probably see that miniature saga. the images back from the first gen and onwards were a little bit icky as i got grips on how to actually go about this blog and manipulate the models in the right way to get them to work, which is why i can never really recommend folks scroll all the way back in the blog, but it's a look back into my own personal history, i suppose
apologies for breaking the magic, although i don't think anyone keeps up with the "i am a pokémon taking real live pictures of other pokémon with the camera right in their face" lore because no one pays attention to the backgrounds of the images (which used to change much more than they do now, but that's just because no one ever noticed or pointed them out. the background is not the focus of the image—it's the pokémon itself; thus, why look at the background? staging the pokémon in a setting used to be important to me, but now i don't worry about it and cycle between the same few backgrounds) or the asks, really. it's the commentary in the tags everyone comes here for, of course
Tumblr media
she's a fully-grown woman with a house
Tumblr media
then you'll love the top of this post
Tumblr media
they probably wouldn't think it looks like anything because they aren't familiar with what honedge looks like so they would just picture nothing in their head. or they would just make up what they Think honedge might look like based on its name, or something, and then imagine that front-facing
Tumblr media
i don't know which one of these is the real one. but we have some discrepancy here. also apparently this is a wider-spread belief than i thought
OKAY. i think that's all of them. if you read all the way here to the end, that's. powerful. for those of you who stuck around this long, i'm live right now with a test stream having some breakfast and playing pokémon. come join in, if you're bored this morning!
edit: it's over but i'll probably do it again some time, more likely at a more reasonable hour next time. considering the idea of doing a fully voiced pmd series—perhaps that'll be the next stream. or i'll leave another test one for it. who knows!

nsfw g/olden k/amuy modern AU k/oito x t/sukishima snzfic
t/sukishima has a cold while hes away on a business trip and calls k/oito (who has the kink). they’re dating and refer to each other by their first names in this. warnings for written mess, m*sturbation, and slight discussion of kink-related shame. 2.9k words
i havent written fic in yeaaars and am just getting back into it so if it reads a little rusty that's why :') also my first attempt at writing stuffy talk so i hope it's alright!
also if for any reason this shows up in the search results for these characters please look away you didnt see anything 💀
“Home” was a modest apartment he shared with his partner, Hajime Tsukishima. Between Tsukishima’s salaried wage and the money from Koito’s well-off family supporting him through college, the two could have probably afforded something nicer, or something a little closer to the university. But that wasn’t rational, Tsukishima had said. Walking a little more and living a little lighter would be worth it to save money in the long term. Koito couldn’t argue with his partner’s sound logic, as much as he might want to.
---
Otonoshin Koito slumped against the subway railing, the doors hissing to a close behind him as he sighed. It had been a long day of studying in the university library and the sheer dreariness of it had worn him out. Being bored was exhausting. But that was over now! He’d finished his schoolwork for the day, picked up a pre-made meal from the nearby convenience store, and caught the train just in time to be headed home for the night.
Koito frowned—although the expression was near indistinguishable from the permanent scowl on his resting face—as the train began to move, quickly picking up speed towards home. Coming home lately didn’t feel as exciting as it normally did. Tsukishima had been away on a business trip for a few days, leaving the apartment feeling horribly cold and lonely when Koito would turn the key and open the door to a dark and silent dwelling.
Hajime, Koito thought, I miss him. He fished out his phone from his pocket to check if he’d received any messages from his lover since he’d last checked. It had been a while; he’d had to turn it off to force himself to focus at the library earlier, so he was pleasantly surprised by the notification reading that he’d received a voicemail from Tsukishima about thirty minutes ago. The happy surprise quickly mixed with feelings of confusion and worry in the time it took the man to find and extract his earphones from his bag. Tsukishima wasn’t the type to call out of the blue or leave voicemails. Was everything okay?
Koito shoved the earpiece into his ear, wasting no time as he pressed play on the voice message.
“Hello, Oto... Sorry to call you while you’re busy.” Was it just his imagination, or did Tsukishima’s voice sound a bit more... gruff than usual? Koito held his breath subconsciously.
“I just wandted to talk to you for a bit-” No. No, he definitely sounded congested. “Just to check ind and see how... hheh... hh-Excuhhhse mb-”
Koito‘s thumb slammed against the glass of his screen, bringing the audio playback to an abrupt pause. Only then did he remember to breathe, looking up from his phone to force his mind back to the present. He stared out the window at the scenery that raced by just as fast as his thoughts. Oh my god. Is Hajime sick? Koito felt his face flush as it hit him.
He pulled the earphones from his ear and stuffed them back in his bag, removing his ability to listen to the rest of the voicemail. It was his best attempt at self control. After all, the train was not the place to be getting worked up about his lover’s sneezes! Glancing out the window once more, he grit his teeth upon seeing that he was still a good few stops away from home. He was going to have to be strong until then. At least he had found a reason to be excited to go home tonight.
---
Koito made the trek from the station to his apartment in half the time it usually took, effortlessly weaving his way between crowds and passersby blocking his path. He sprinted up the stairs of his apartment building, a simple feat for his lean and fit body, and let himself into his unit at record speed. Kicking off his shoes, he hurriedly washed his hands in the kitchen and stripped off his day clothes in the bedroom—nonnegotiable hygiene essentials.
Standing there in his (expensive designer brand, of course) boxer briefs, he attempted to reign in his speeding thoughts enough to think of what to wear. Did he really need to wear anything if he was just going to get into bed and—
He shook his head, feeling a bit ashamed. Hajime isn’t feeling well! Don’t be a pervert! He decided to compromise and opted to throw on just a loose oversized tee-shirt. Flopping onto him and Tsukishima’s bed, he hastily unlocked his phone and re-opened the voice message to listen to and appreciate it in full this time.
“Hello, Oto... Sorry to call you while you’re busy. I just wandted to talk to you for a bit just to check ind and see how... hheh... hh-Excuhhhse mbe—! Heh-NNGXT!” A thick sniffle and stuffy exhale. “...See how you’re doing. I’mb back at the hotel for the ndight, so... If you wandted to call mbe back, I’mb free adnytime ndow.” A second of silence before a quiet, shaky breath. A low groan. “Fuck... Heh-NGGXXTSHhh!!” Another exhale and sniffle. “Excuse mbe. Talk to you later.” Click.
Koito buried his burning face in the plush bedding he lay on. God, he was already half hard from a couple voicemail sneezes. Was Hajime aware of what he was doing to him?! He'd told him about his unusual kink before but it hadn't explicitly come up since, leaving Koito to wonder if his partner had somehow forgotten about it. He sat up, leaning his back against the bed's headboard. It didn't matter. Tsukishima had said to call him back whenever, and he wasn't about to waste any more time. He hit the call button and put the phone to his ear. His heart pounded against his ribs as the phone rang a couple times.
"Hi, Oto," came the same slightly scratchy and deeper-than-usual voice he'd heard on the recording.
"Hajime! Are you alright? Sorry I didn't pick up earlier; I just got home." The words tumbled from Koito's mouth.
Tsukishima gave a quiet chuckle that quickly turned into a brief but rough-sounding cough aimed away from the phone. "Are you alright? You sound out of breath. Did you just run home or something?" The small smile on his lips was audible.
"...Maybe." He had hurried home, and he wasn't about to tell Tsukishima his breathlessness was more from excitement than physical exertion at this point. "Wait, don't avoid the question! Are you coming down with something? You sound pretty sick."
"...Yeah." Tsukishima sniffled and a short cough followed, as if the acknowledgment of his current state had suddenly allowed him to let his symptoms out. "I think I caught something on the bullet train coming here. It just took a couple days to set in but...” His voice trailed off, replaced by sharp, hitching gasps, quickly building up until the sneeze overtook him. Koito held back the urge to moan softly, feeling the blood rush to his lower body as he pressed the phone speaker closer against his ear in anticipation.
“HH’KNXXSSHoo! Ah... Ow...”
“Hajimee!” Koito cried, chiding his lover. As much as he was getting off on this, he still legitimately felt bad for Tsukishima. That half-failed stifle sounded painful; it probably scraped the man’s already sore throat. "Bless you, but also be careful!"
Tsukishima breathed a small laugh at his own miserable state. “I dond’t know why I evend... hahh... tried to... ah...” A moment of silence (or perhaps noises so small the phone didn’t pick up on them), before he mumbled, voice wavering, “Excuse mbe... I have to sndeeze againd...” His breath hitched, turning into deep, long inhales and exhales as the second sneeze took its sweet time, lazily teasing at his irritated sinuses. Koito's own breaths began to mirror Tsukishima's as he listened to the drawn-out buildup, Tsukishima's stuffed-up breaths loud in his ear going straight to his dick. Finally they reached their peak, the older man succumbing to the whims of the virus dominating his body.
“HEHH’DZSSHHHOO!! Heh-TSCHHHHoo! Ah... Heh...! HEH’TSCHHHhuh!!”
The sound emitted from the phone speaker was loud. Hajime must not have moved the phone away very much, Koito concluded. God, those sneezes sounded increasingly wet, he thought, unable to help but picture Tsukishima doubled over in his hotel room, thick spray and mess dripping from his cold-ridden nose as he worked through the fit. His cock twitched and strained against the confines of his underwear at the combination of hearing the sneezes and mental image they evoked. “Bless you, Hajime,” Koito breathed, unable to hide his vocal arousal anymore.
Tsukishima’s response didn’t come immediately; instead Koito heard him blow his nose, as if stalling before hesitantly asking, “Are you... touching yourself?”
Koito froze, a twinge of guilt filling him at the perceived accusation. Having told his partner about the kink, he couldn’t be sure that Tsukishima wouldn’t be offended by the thought that he was getting off on his uncomfortable situation. “U-Um... No, I—”
“It’s okay if you are,” Tsukishima interrupted, backpedaling upon hearing Koito’s defensive tone. “I... I want you to.” He pinched at the shallow bridge of his nose, staving off another tickle threatening to overtake him. Koito didn’t say anything, prompting the other man to continue. “I figured it’d be better if my misery could at least be put to use. And... I miss you.”
A wave of emotion swelled in Koito’s chest at those last words. Tsukishima was rarely verbally affectionate, so he was elated when he received even the smallest bit of it. “Hajimee,” Koito whined softly, “you called me just to let me hear you sneeze?”
Tsukishima didn’t respond right away, preoccupied with rubbing roughly at his flaring nostrils as the prickly irritation quickly spread from deeper in his nose. The movement jostled the loose fluid in his nose, the watery squelch of it audible through the phone. The simple knowledge that he was struggling to fight off another sneeze further aroused the younger man, and now with his lover’s permission, he took his fully hard cock from his boxers and began to slowly stroke it.
“Ndot just... hhh... so you cand hear mbe sndeeze...” Tsukishima managed through short gasping breaths, his voice thinning with the need to sneeze, “I also wandted to—hhih! ...H-Hear your vo—hh’ISSCHHHoo!! Heh...EH’ISSHHHHh!!”
Immediately following the second sneeze was a loud clatter, then the distant sound of Tsukishima sniffling and swearing.
Koito couldn’t help but laugh a little. “Bless you. Did you drop your phone?”
More rustling before a somewhat less distant sneeze— “IISCHHHHhhuh!—fuck.”—and exhaling another swear much more closely into the receiver. “Ugh. I dropped mby phonde and thend sndeezed all over it.”
“Bless you. I love you,” The younger man breathed, the smile on his lips audible but mixed with soft moans as he worked himself faster. “You’re so cute. Did you shake too much when you sneezed and dropped your phone?" He teased. "Are you in bed?” The questions kept flowing in his brain as he tried to visualize the exact situation his sick beloved was in.
Tsukishima flushed at the barrage of compliments and attention. “I’mb ndot ind bed... I suppose I should be though.”
“You need to rest, Hajime! I’m about to come over there and put you to bed myself!”
“I... wish you could.” It embarrassed him to vocalize his sappy desires, especially ones involving him needing to be taken care of, but his want to fuel Koito’s imagination prevailed.
Koito sighed longingly. “I wish I could hold you and take care of you and tuck you in and—”
“HH’ISCHHHHHoo!! Sorr—hh-EISSCHHHHH!! Sorry. I didnd’t meand to indterrupt.”
Koito’s lustful babbling dissolved into a loud moan, his hips jolting involuntarily, fucking harder into his hand. “Ohh... bless you, Hajime...!”
Tsukishima sniffled wetly in response, his tired eyes falling shut for a moment. Something about that last pair of sneezes had really brought forth his exhaustion that’d been building throughout the day. “I’mb going to put you downd for a second to chandge out of mby clothes so I cand get ind bed.”
Hearing the rustling of the phone being placed, Koito closed his eyes and pictured his lover beginning to unbutton his shirt, his nose red and damp around his lightly twitching nostrils. His lips would be chapped and parted; no doubt the man was so stuffed up he’d need to breathe through his mouth. Koito wanted nothing more than to slip his tongue into that open mouth and overwhelm his senses just the same as that cold virus was doing.
A distant, irritated groan preceded sudden sharp hitching breaths heavy enough for Koito’s perceptive ears to pick up on. He thumbed at the precum dripping down his shaft, the fluid wetting his palm to glide faster, smoother over his sensitive cock. Tsukishima was probably shirtless by now, exposing his shuddering chest and tightening abs as he built up to a sneeze, head tilted back in helpless anticipation.
There was a moment of silence before he heaved a long sigh and sniffled thickly, the sneeze seemingly lost. Then came the sound of his belt buckle unclasping and falling to the floor. More rustling indicated he’d picked the phone back up and was getting into bed.
 “Okay. I’mb ind bed ndow.” His congested breaths came softly in quicker puffs now as if the exertion of simply stripping and climbing into bed had worn him out. He pinched and rubbed at his drippy nose, wet little noises coming through the phone speaker.
“Good,” Koito panted, “You poor thing, Hajime, you sound awful. You went to your work meeting earlier, right? Even while you sounded like this?”
Tsukishima coughed out a short sound of affirmation. “It was horrible,” he grumbled, “I couldn’t stop sndeezing and people kept looking... hehh... even though I... s-suppressed themb all...” His breath caught shakily. “Excuse mbe, I’mb going to—”
Koito’s mind swam with a plethora of images: Tsukishima red-faced and shamefully stifling his way through an itchy and desperate fit, his best efforts to remain unnoticed still drawing attention in the quiet meeting room. Tsukishima slipping out as quietly as possible to blow his horribly clogged yet still unmanageably drippy nose in the restroom, probably rubbing his poor skin raw on cheap rough toilet paper, miserable and guiltily missing essential work-related info. No wonder he’d been sneezing so openly all evening, he must've tired himself out stifling those desperate sneezes all day! And of course, he pictured the current Tsukishima on the other end of the phone, stripped down to his boxers in bed, drinking in heavy gasps of air through his chapped lips as he waited for the sneezes to overtake him. Brows furrowed and muscles tensed in preparation, warm liquid threatening to drip to his lips from his pink, flaring, quivering nostrils—
“HEH’IISSSCCHHHHoo!! Hhh... heh—!”
The sneeze tore through his body, so loud and so wet. Lying down must’ve made the thick fluid packed in his sinuses shift in a way that overwhelmed Tsukishima’s senses, prickling and irritating his nose horribly. Koito moaned a blessing, stroking himself rougher, faster, as the pressure to come built rapidly.
“HH’TDSSCHHHHOO!! Fuck...” A hurried series of sniffles and hitches followed the second sneeze. Staving off the urge to sneeze again as best he could, he apologized. “I’mb sorry, I’mb ndot... heh...! Great for condvers-hhh-ationd... a-at the mbombe—hHHIH’SSSHHHHHOO!!”
Koito could practically hear the amount of thick spray and mess his lover sneezed out, no doubt splattering cold-laced fluids onto the hotel blankets, down onto his bare chest, or freely into the air—whatever position Tsukishima had found himself in. “God, bless you Hajime. No, you’re doing wonderfully, you’re so hot, I love you.” He gushed breathlessly, dazed by his kink-fueled lust. Hearing Tsukishima gear up for yet another sneeze, Koito couldn’t take it anymore. “H-Hajime,” He gasped his lover’s name, “Hajime, I’m going to come.”
Tsukishima couldn’t even respond, still caught in the throes of his fit, nose desperate to rid his body of the itch. “HIH’TSZZHHHOO! ...hhh... HEH’TSSCHHHHHoo!! EH’TSSCHHHHHH!!”
Koito reached his climax, crying out blessings and “Hajime”s as the hot cum spilled from his cock, coating his fingers and dripping onto his abs, not unlike how the viscous mess streamed down Tsukishima’s lips and chin post-fit. They both lay there breathing together for a moment, though one was clearly more miserable sounding than the other.
The silence was broken by the sound of Tsukishima plucking several tissues from the box on the bedside table, rustling noises indicating he’d chosen to wipe himself up before blowing his nose thickly into a fresh tissue. Despite his efforts, his voice still left his lips bogged down with congestion, sounding even more groggy post-fit than he’d sounded before.
“God, Hajime, I love you. Are you okay?” Koito asked, his tone genuinely worried. He cradled the phone to his ear more snugly, as if trying to embrace his partner long-distance.
Tsukishima nodded, eyes closed, taking his time to respond. “...I just ndeed to sleep. ...I... have to get up early to go hombe tomborrow.”
Koito’s heart jumped a bit at the reminder they'd soon be reunited at and the newfound knowledge that he’d get to live out his caretaking fantasies as soon as the next day. “Oh, that’s right! I can’t wait to see you. I’ll meet you at the station!”
There came a mumbled noise of agreement, and then silence.
"I'll bet you're glad to get to go home now, then you can really rest properly in your own bed."
He was met with another long silence, no hitching breaths or anything.
"Hajime?"
Nothing. The poor man must’ve fallen asleep, worn out from struggling with his head cold all day. The thought was so pitiful Koito could almost cry.
“Goodnight Hajime. I love you.” He whispered, then hung up the phone.

[Reverse + sit ] - for receiver to settle down on sender's lap ((ooc: just Neo sending Neo things to exercise her test muse muscle))
Taken from meme: [x] ||Accepting|| Just let me using any excuse to do small test runs as I slowly configure my thoughts. Don't mind me
Haru was sitting on the couch when she felt something settle onto her lap. Curious, she looks up from her phone to see a familiar bushy head of hair. Lambo looks up at her and grins widely, "Haru! Look, Lambo-san got his test score back!"
Academics meant a lot in the Miura household, and so Haru was always a big proponent of urging the kids to do their best in school and study. She knew that forcing Lambo would only backfire and make him more stubborn about doing the opposite, so she took a different approach- always praising him for what he did well.
Stroking his ego was something that always worked well with him.
Tumblr media
"Oh~ It's Lambo-chan! Let's see here... ohhh excellent, you've been working hard, huh? You even got the problem we studied together right. I'm so proud of you~" Haru hugs him and ruffles his hair.
The giddy laughter from the cow child was always so endearing, and Haru knew that she would do anything to protect this child. "Gyahahah! Right? Lambo-san did good! Better than last time! I'll be a genius in no time!"
Haru could only giggle at his childish confidence that was well-beyond his means (at least, in the current moment), but she appreciated his drive to strive to do better, so she stayed her tongue. "You did, you did improve. I'm so proud of you, Lambo-chan. How about this? After I make you a snack, we can try reviewing what you got wrong? Then the questions won't trouble you anymore, okay?"
Tumblr media
"Gyehhhh I don't wanna study any more! I did a lot already." Lambo complains. "That's true, but if you understand the problem, that's one enemy you've defeated forever. That'll make you very strong and powerful, right? Haru will be very impressed, and surely the others will too."
"Really?"
"Of course, i'm sure they'll see how hard you're working and acknowledge you for that."
"Mmn... Okay! First, a snack! I want onigiri!"

while everyone's rightfully talking about oppenheimer and its flaws regarding the erasure of japanese and native american voices regarding nuclear testing and detonations, i'd like to bring up the fact that pacific islanders have also been severely impacted by nuclear testing under the pacific proving grounds, a name given by the US to a number of sites in the pacific that were designated for testing nuclear weapons after the second world war, at least 318 of which were dropped on our ancestral homes and people. i would like if more people talked about this.
important sections are bolded for ease of reading. i would appreciate this being reblogged since it's a bit alarming how few people know about this.
--
in 1946, the indigenous peoples of pikinni (the bikini atoll) were forcibly relocated off of their islands so that nuclear tests could be run on the atoll. at least 23 nuclear bombs were detonated on this inhabited island chain, including 20 hydrogen bombs. many pasifika were irreversibly irradiated, all of them were starved during multiple forced relocations, and the island chain is still unsafe to live on despite multiple cleanup attempts. there are several craters visible from space that were left on the atoll from nuclear testing.
the forced relocation was to several different small and previously uninhabited islands over several decades, none of which were able to sustain traditional lifestyles which directly lead to further starvation and loss of culture and identity. there is a reason that pacific islanders choose specific islands to inhabit including access to fresh water, food, shelter, cloth and fibre, climate, etc. and obviously none of these reasons were taken into account during the displacements.
200 pikinni were eventually moved back to the atoll in the 1970s but dangerous levels of strontium-90 were found in drinking water in 1978 and the inhabitants were found to have abnormally high levels of caesium-137 in their bodies.
--
i'm going to put the rest of this post under a readmore to improve the chances of this being reblogged by the general public. i would recommend you read the entirety of the post since it really isn't long and goes into detail about, say, entire islands being fully, utterly destroyed. like, wiped off of the map. without exaggeration, entire islands were disintegrated.
--
as i just mentioned, ānewetak (the eniwetok atoll) was bombed so violently that an entire island, āllokļap, was permanently and completely destroyed. an entire island. it's just GONE. the world's first hydrogen bomb was tested on this island. the crater is visibly larger than any of the islands next to it, more than a mile in diameter and roughly fifteen storeys deep. the hydrogen bomb released roughly 700 times the energy released during the bombing of hiroshima. this would, of course, be later outdone by other hydrogen bombs dropped on the pacific, reaching over 1000 times the energy released.
one attempt to clean up the waste on ānewetak was the construction of a large ~380ft dome, colloquially known as the tomb, on runit island. the island has been essentially turned into a nuclear waste dump where several other islands of ānewetak have moved irradiated soil to and, due to climate change, rising seawater is beginning to seep into the dome, causing nuclear waste to leak out. along with this, if a large typhoon were to hit the dome, there would be a catastrophic failure followed by a leak of nuclear waste into the surrounding land, drinking water, and ocean. the tomb was built haphazardly and quickly to cut costs.
hey, though, there's a plus side! the water in the lagoon and the soil surrounding the tomb is far more radioactive than the currently contained radioactive waste. a typhoon wouldn't cause (much) worse irradiation than the locals and ocean already currently experience, anyway! it's already gone to shit! and who cares, right, the only ""concern"" is that it will just further poison the drinking water of the locals with radioactive materials. this can just be handwaved off as a nonissue, i guess. /s
--
at least 36 bombs were detonated in the general vicinity of kiritimati (christmas island) and johnson atoll. while johnson atoll has seemingly never been inhabited by polynesians, kiritimati was used intermittently by polynesians (and later on, micronesians) for several hundred years. many islands in the pacific were inhabited seasonally and likewise many pacific islanders should be classified as nomadic but it has always been convenient for the goal of white supremacy and imperalism to claim that semi-inhabited areas are completely uninhabited, claimable pieces of terra nullius.
regardless of the current lack of inhabitants on these islands, the nuclear detonations have caused widespread ecological damage to otherwise delicate island ecosystems and have further spread nuclear fallout across the entirety of the pacific ocean.
--
while the marshall islands, micronesia, and the surrounding areas of melanesia and polynesia were (and still are) by far the worst affected by these atrocities, the entirety of the pacific has been irradiated to some extent due to ocean/wind currents freely spreading nuclear fallout through the water and air. all in all, at least 318 nuclear bombs were detonated across the pacific. i say "at least" because these are just the events that have been declassified and frankly? i wouldn't be shocked to find out they didn't stop there.
please don't leave the atomic destruction of the pacific out of this conversation. we've been displaced, irradiated, murdered, poisoned, and otherwise mass exterminated by nuclear testing on purpose and we are still suffering because of it. many of us have radiation poisoning, many of us have no safe ancestral home anymore. i cannot fucking state this enough, ISLANDS WERE DISINTEGRATED INTO NONEXISTENCE.
look, this isn't blaming people for not talking about us or knowing the extent of these issues, but it's... insidiously ironic that i haven't seen a single post that even mentions pacific islanders in a conversation about indigenous voices/voices of colour being ignored when it comes to nuclear tests and the devastation they've caused.

ANIME IS REAL
Tumblr media
DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS. SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THAT IMPULSE [i collapse into a heap]
thank you for following me on this journey, it's finally done \o/ inspired by the furry mod and a... certain eroge, this head has a bunch of options for making your entire town excessively sugoi. or whatever.
INCLUDED:
3 head archetypes, each with an additional earless and 'less motion' variant - as well as a combo of the two! less motion entails less mouth movement, for those who aren't into the sim's exaggerated expressions.
SIX face overlays! two from heihu's overlay set, 3 from .serawis (thank you !!)
FOUR pupil types, FOUR upper eyelines, SEVEN eyelashes, THREE lower eyelines, LIKE FIVE I THINK eyebrows, FOUR lipsticks
a 'skin fix' under facepaint, for base skins with differently colored lips and nose that show up through the overlay
so many swatches im dying over here
CAVEATS:
the entire head setup takes up almost every skin detail slot. plan accordingly!
some hairs, particularly ones with bangs close to the forehead and ones with scalp textures, will not work
lipsticks will not work unless made for the head
some eyebrows will look odd / distorted
glasses and earrings may sit uncomfortably high on the face/ears
the majority of these are due to the different shape of the head, and i can't really do much about them without losing the 'style' orz

Progress Update - 3/4/24
Hello and happy March!
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? 😅 Well, I finally have some good news for you this time: I have some actual news!
I'm happy to be able to announce at last that an update is on its way! I’ve still got some assets to make and code cleanup and testing to finish, but I should finally have something to show you soon.
I’ll put a cut at the end of this and go into more detail about the what and why of what I’ve been working on during this long and unintended hiatus, but the tl;dr is that I hope to have an update out by the end of the month, and that said update will break any saves made in Chapter 4. Unfortunate, but unavoidable, since Chapter 4 had to be recoded from the beginning 😞
I just want to thank all of you once again for sticking with me through my extended silence! Especially to my patrons who’ve put up with me putting everything on pause month after month while I dealt with my real life shit, and to everyone who’s sent me kind and supportive messages to let me know Speaker hasn’t been forgotten. It really means a lot to me.
Okay, enough of that sappy shit! I’m gonna get back to work finishing this up 😁 I’ll put out another update later this month once I have a more definite release date.
Thank you all for reading! I hope you’re having a fantastic 2024 so far, and that the rest of the week treats you kindly. See y’all soon! 💙💙💙
(For those who want a more detailed breakdown on what’s been happening and what to expect, hit the readmore)
I won’t go into the personal life stuff I’ve been dealing with this past year that has slowed down my work, but as far as the actual game goes: 
To put it simply, I just wasn’t happy with it. Some of it could be because of how many times I had to reread the same section while I was coding the scenes that would’ve taken place after the last update, but no matter how much I edited or rearranged it, I didn’t like how that scene turned out. There was something… formulaic that had been happening with the way I always laid out scenes, and a bit of stagnation in the story, character, and relationship development that bothered me.
So I rewrote it. And when I still didn’t like it, I rewrote it again. And I still didn’t like it. I thought about scrapping the whole thing on more than one occasion as I struggled to get out of the corner I’d written myself into.
Inspiration finally struck at the beginning of this year, thanks in part to another interactive novel I follow, and I really like the direction I’ve taken it now. 
Instead of the RO split scenes happening where the last one left off, Speaker, Seer, and Gavin are gonna have a chat about Things™ to move the next story arc forward. Then Speaker will get some downtime, by themself at first and then in an extended scene split with the RO of their choosing. 
All the Big Plot Things that were going to happen in Chapter 4 will be moved to Chapter 5 instead, and 4 will be a bit more of a filler episode. A deep breath before the plunge, as it were.
This split won’t just be a quick conversation/reaction from the RO, but a full on different direction for the rest of the chapter based on who you choose. Most of them will involve leaving the house; all of them will involve actual one-on-one time (or one-on-two time, as the case may be) away from the others. And though romance isn’t required, all of them will have the potential to really move the romance forward if you so choose. One or two might even have a lock-in choice (maybe. I’m not 100 percent on that, so don’t hold me to it) 
These scenes won’t be in the next update, because they’re all very complex, but the update will definitely have the Seer chat and at least some of the by-yourself stuff. The update after will have the rest of the alone time stuff (including the clothes/body CC you’ve all been waiting for), and then the one after will start the RO scenes. I think.
I may actually split the RO scenes into separate updates, and let my darlings over at Patreon vote for the order they’re released. That way I can focus on one at a time instead of trying to split my attention six ways at once.
Okay, that’s enough rambling for me today. Time to get back to work! Still got a lot to get done before this is ready, but it’s so close now.

Note
how would a complete complete beginner get into gpose? like how to make npcs appear and pose my oc with them?
love your blorbos and the triad and your gposes and writing btw. thank you and pls keep creating <333
Hi, anon! Thank you so much, that's so sweet 💜
So, I may have gotten a little carried away, but I wanted to be thorough responding and I thank you for your patience. This is going under a readmore out of courtesy to the dashboard.
To start out you'll need to download some stuff.
Programs
Anamnesis:
Install: download
This is an entirely self-contained program, and you could technically stop here and do all your posing from Anamnesis, I know several people who prefer it. It’s perfect for posing with humanoid models, minions, and mob creatures.
The biggest downside is that if you don’t have a second monitor (or have a really small screen like I do), it’s going to get in the way of a lot of your posing. It gets pretty fiddly having to readjust the camera around the doll and move the screen aside so you can see what you’re doing. So if that’s going to be an issue for you, I would also recommend using….
Ktisis:
Install: download
You will also need to install the FFXIVQuicklauncher, which is linked in the Ktisis instructions. It’s a bit more work to set up, but if you think you’ll want to try out using mods, Penumbra works on the same framework and this will save you a bit of hassle later on.
Ktisis operates within gpose from a little dropdown bar on the side of your screen, and the biggest difference is that it puts the skeleton directly over the models in 3D instead of a flat view. It does still have a flat view option, but I am much more 3D oriented so having the skeleton visible right under my cursor works better for me. It’s also helpful for showing all the special bones on monsters and bosses that Anam doesn’t!
I am also currently using the testing build version of Ktisis as it offers the ability to select multiple bones at a time, which I don’t believe the current public release has. This can be turned on by right clicking on the plugin and selecting “receive plugin testing versions”.
There is a third posing program called Brio, and it requires the same level of install as Ktisis, but I personally don’t like using it. I find the posing interface unwieldy and at a beginner level, it really cannot offer you anything that Anamnesis and Ktisis already don’t. The only thing it would be absolutely necessary for is to spawn in actors through Anamnesis.
So now that we’ve got the programs installed, time to get some actors in here.
Importing Characters
You can get characters into gpose one of two ways. You can rock it old school and load a character file onto a pre-existing model, or you can spawn a new one digitally within gpose.
Old School Method:
Use an overworld model! I’m just going to borrow this Temple Knight real quick-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-and now I have successfully freed Aymeric from his office. Time for a lunch date!
If you don’t have any overworld models to use, like in instanced areas such as dungeons, you can use a carbuncle instead.
Using the powers of arcanima-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-I have now brought Estinien into the realm of the Fuath. And he thought the moogles were bad...
New School Method:
In the Ktisis testing workspace, there’s a little plus icon at the bottom left hand corner.
Tumblr media
“Create new actor” will make a clone of your model with all the same gear and physical appearances. You can then load a character file onto that of your choice, or you can customise it from there. “Import actor from file” will skip right ahead to loading in a premade character file you’ve saved as it spawns a new model.
Importing/Exporting Character Files
Character files are how your appearance, gear, and weapons are all stored to be loaded in onto an actor. These will appear in your program save files as a .chara file. Anamnesis and Ktisis should create their own save files and will automatically save character and pose information to those locations. You can also check to see that they saved correctly by opening up your files directory and tracing the file paths.
In the “Character” tab in Anamnesis, select the actor of your choice, hit “Import”, and select your file. The dropdown menu gives you some options for what specific parts of a character file you want to import. There’s also the option to import game NPCs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Ktisis, right click the actor and select “Import…” then “Character”.
Tumblr media
This will bring up the import screen, where you have the same choice between files saved to your computer or NPCs from the game.
Tumblr media
Changing Gear
Changing gear can be done through Anamnesis simply by clicking on the item slot in the appearance tab, and you’ll get a list of everything that can be equipped into that slot. Ktisis will require you to right click on an actor and select “Edit appearance” before giving you a similar menu.
This is one of Anamnesis’ biggest selling points because it has the most robust gear filtering and search system of the three posing programs. You can filter by class, job, race/genderlocked gear, items that are Mogstation purchases, and save favourites to the top of each list.
Tumblr media
Ktisis and Brio do not have this feature, so I really recommend doing all of your gear searching through Anamnesis unless you know exactly what the gear piece is called.
If you change your mind mid-pose that you want a different piece of gear, changing the equipment in Ktisis will not break the pose, but trying through Anamnesis will.
Posing
Now that you’ve got your dolls in place, it’s time to actually start posing! Like I said above, Anamnesis is mostly a flat view of the skeleton, and Ktisis has the skeleton visible in 3D on the model, so choose which format works with your brain easiest. (And they both can swap formats as well.)
The red/blue/green gizmo is the same across all three posing programs, and comes in three modes; rotate, position, and scale. Body bones will all be manipulated through rotation. Scaling can be done if you want to change how a body part looks and is especially helpful for fixing elbows. Facial bones, however, will need to be moved in position mode due to the new graphical update. And this is really why I recommend you use Ktisis testing build as this gives you the ability to select multiple bones at once to move in tandem.
The easiest way to start learning to pose is by modifying the existing emotes and actions. Cycle through the various emotes and job actions to find something that gets you close to what you want, and then make minor tweaks from there. It’s not impossible to pose from a base standing idle, but it is a pain and takes a lot longer.
Before you can start repositioning bones, you’ll need to toggle “Posing Mode” on. In Anamnesis, this is in the “Pose” tab, and in Ktisis it’s the red/green toggle at the top. You’ll also need to pause character movement in gpose (freeze character).
If you plan on moving models around in the XYZ coordinates instead of leaving them where they are in gpose (especially since the digital actors will spawn directly on top of you), you will need to freeze positions as well. This is found in the top right corner of the “Action” tab in Anamnesis.
Tumblr media
In Ktisis, the "Freeze Positions" button is under the character editor. Right click on your character, choose "Edit appearance", then under the animation tab (third from the left), check "Freeze Positions".
Tumblr media
Importing/Exporting Poses
Another place where Ananmesis shines is having all of the vanilla pose variations for all of the races and genders available as pose files to be uploaded. This is in the second file button, underneath the list of your original files.
Tumblr media
Note: All default expressions currently in Anamnesis are out of date. Take the time to go through the expressions in gpose and save each face individually to be loaded on separately as expressions.
This is the same process as importing/exporting characters. Poses will be saved as a .pose file to the program of your choice. If you’ve downloaded pre-made poses from someone else, make sure they’re in the program files and not your downloads folder just to keep everything in one place.
Note: Pose files from before Dawntrail will break expressions. These should only be imported on body bones.
Loading Select Bones
You can piece together new poses using bits of old ones, too! In Ananmesis, click and drag to highlight the parts you want to transfer (it can be a little finnicky around the hands/hips.)
Tumblr media
And in Ktisis, right click select down the list of bones you want to use.
Tumblr media
Expressions will always need to be loaded onto a model as selected bones. Anamnesis has the “Expression” option, which will automatically select all the bones on the head parent.
Tumblr media
Ktisis will need to have the “Face” option ticked on the “Import Pose” if you’re importing from the actor’s name. If you’ve clicked the parent you want to apply it to, it will automatically tick “Apply selected bones”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The ideal order of operations is Load Actors > Load Gear > Posing Mode.
Miscellaneous Tips and Tricks
-Ktisis lets you import reference images now! In the same place as importing a new character, you can import a reference image to be on the screen with you instead of tabbing between the game and browser.
-If you like the pose you get while riding a particular mount and think “wow I wish I could have that as a normal sit pose” you can just fire up your program of choice, freeze motion, and save the bones! My personal fave is the sit from the hippo cart mount.
-Don’t rotate your model from the root bone (the one that’s named after the actor), rotate from the abdomen. This will still move your whole actor without compromising the XYZ alignment. Think of the root bone as the little plastic support stand for an action figure you’d put on a shelf. You can pose the action figure however you want, but the plastic stand still has to stay touching the table.
~
That’s it for what I would consider getting started with. A lot of this is stuff I’ve had to learn myself or piecemeal together from various people, so I hope it’s not too overwhelming, but if I can save someone else the hassle I went through then I will!
My final piece of advice is to remember that this is supposed to be fun. If it’s starting to become not fun, take a break and do something else that isn’t gposing for a bit and come back to it.
Wishing you the best of luck in your gposing journey!
