whatever. go my scarab
ive been watching scruffys pikmin 4 playthrough (go check it out!!!!)
#specifically referencing ep11 for anyone curious but i dont wanna spoil anything.. youll know it when you see it lol#ive never played pikmin and i already know for a fact id suck ass at it bc i can only do one thing at a time. i have zero dandori#actually i have zero interest in the dandori challenges bc im more focused on the creatures and areas. id be cooked#but its still fascinating to watch how the planning and strategy works in real time and goes so well with exploring#and if youre like me and has shown little interest in pikmin games his videos are a nice warm hug for looking into it#scruffy has a nice voice and explains everything like pointing out which enemies are from prev pikmin games and how they work#and pays special attention to the adaptive music cues which pikmin is known for and its really cool to see it dissected#his other videos also pick apart sound design in other video games i highly recommend his fnaf ones. theyre excellent#scruffy youtube#myart#my art#doodles#pikmin#pikmin 4#flying pikmin

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#Jason Todd#batfamily#it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works#like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over#i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin#and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot-#-about literature as well#duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd#(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd)#damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid.#Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph?#I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!)#and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read#went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls!#she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems#point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam#but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it#jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog#damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH#speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro#wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

and I think child modelling should be illegal I'm not even joking
#I dodged it but like it truly felt like we were pigs raised to slaughter. slaughter being prostitution#every little detail I remember now as adult with basic child psychology education from my teacher background is just. how#I'm not brave enough to say 'jail to mother' (yet) but honestly...#what wrong could come from making a bunch of girls used to lying about their age ignoring being made uncomfortable and disrespected#especially by adults who can make all sorts of rules and claims on their bodies and schedules that are treated as secrets#I had the best experience possible and I am certain I did get pimps approaching me my mother and contractors#and even then I felt very weird that I was often sent to nightclubs that only allowed adults as clients but since I was there to get on#stage as work then I could get in and actually I got instructed to keep on 'vip areas' that typically had a lot more drugs circulating#the heels the clothing and makeup I got put on were also so wrong#I didn't hate it at the time some things made me uncomfortable but I liked dancing I liked fashion and I liked how the fact I was 'making#money' made me more respected in my house and I started getting more independence (that I probably shouldn't have been given either)#but ugh the existing photographs already make me want to throw up and I am glad there aren't photographs of the worse 'dance' jobs I did#very strange little universe#I also feel like I was the only girl that didn't have an eating disorder but mostly cuz I already had problems with alcohol that did the jo#but also I got in much older than the other girls and out pretty fast#crazy that 13 is old but like you genuinely hear of 6 year old who are responsible for a considerable portion of the household income#YIKES#the compliments I got on managing to look older and 'being so mature'. yikes#anything that allows a child to be the one making most of the family's income is a receipt for disaster#.txt

I just called my local-ish comic store to ask if they could order the first issue of the New Scaremester comic and the Pride issue, because when I went in a couple weeks ago they only had the second one.
I still bought it, but I've been holding off on reading it. The guy on the phone didn't seem sure they'd be able to get them though, so fingers crossed.
#monster high#monster high comics#monster high new scaremester#when i initially went in the girl checking me out offered to see of they could order more but i was so overwhelmed at the time#it was crowded as hell for a wednesday late afternoon#i was just gonna see of i could order it online but the shipping on all the sites i tried was more than the comic itself#worse comes to worse i wait until may when they're released as a volume#my curiosity for these is winning over my ire for them#i didnt think theyd be popular in my area but when i went in they only had two copies of the second issue left#and i think that was on release day#i honestly cant believe i worked up the nerve to call lol i have so much phone anxiety#i feel lucky i have a comic store near me and i think its the only one around for a while#we used to have a newbury comics but thats been gone for a while now#miss that store#shit i just realized...if they only order one copy of the pride comic i wont be able to choose the cover#i guess thats no biggie...#text post

my dad is so weird.... he gets really pissed off when he goes somewhere and he's not greeted by happy enthusiastic employees... today we went to a bbt cafe and when we left, he made a remark about how all the employees working there looked unhappy and he would have fired them all if he was the manager 😐 like... what do you mean... why is that your FIRST response ??? i personally dont care about receiving Excellent Customer Service or whatever so i dont fully Get It but like . if you go to a place and you see that the staff seem unhappy, why is the first response to punish and get rid of them??? wtf
it also just really bothered me because idk that's just so fucked up... how can you expect people to be happy ALL THE TIME ??? also why is it that they have to be happy for YOUR satisfaction . why does it matter so much when you still end up getting what you paid for regardless of whether the staff greet you or not. why do you care so much why does that affect you so deeply ???
#so annoying and just . really really weird to get so worked up over that#he was like “if theyre not happy they shouldnt work there” and i was like “um???? do you think people choose to work so they can be happy??”#and he was saying that if ppl arent happy they should leave and keep looking until they find a place they like and okay i get his point abt#being happy where you work but thats not possible for a lot of ppl#you cant keep on searching for a new place whenever you dont like your current one also bc theres only so many places in the area you can#work. also if the employees are unhappy again why is it their fault maybe the management should be better ??????#then he countered that by saying that if the management is bad the employees should be more motivated to become manager#WHICH IS LIKE.... NOT EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS.....#i used one of my prev work places as an example like that place was a result of crazy nepotism#my manager literally said he didnt want to be there . so .#sooo weird and entitled.....#ss

yakumo/quincy + edmond aka “i don’t really trust the knights but i definitely trust you.”
#yakumo doesn’t trust the knights for. obvious reasons#they terrorized his village and his neighbours. and his grandparents for literally no reason#but quincy.. he’s older. more knowledgeable#i think.. he stays so disconnected from any urban areas because he doesn’t like the system#in the forest the stronger you are the more powerful you are#there isn’t really a way to cheat the system#and if you take advantage of how powerful you are and take more than you need#you risk harming the forest and therefore yourself#it’s fair. it’s balanced and it makes sense#human society is.. troublesome.. to say the least#and while he knows edmond is a Good Righteous and Trustworthy person#he’s only One person. one knight#it’s very difficult to change the system while working for it. and quincy knows this#he has faith in edmond sure but. he knows how difficult it will be to truly make a change if edmond’s working alone#…at least eiden is a good influence on him#nu carnival#quincy ♡#yakumo ♡#edmond#yakumond#quined#mouser muses

embarrassing being the teacher's pet musicology student in the music history class answering half the questions posed in the lecture while nearly everyone else stays silent and asking multiple questions of my own to which the professor responds "i don't know the answer to that, that's a really good question"
#embarrassing for everyone else that is. i'm running on a poor night's sleep this morning too.#but i do admittedly have a leg up today since the topic was london#and i already took an entire semester on music in 18th c london a few years ago#plus 18th century opera and concert music is like. already a particular area of interest of mine. so#but still. christ only one other person in this class makes an effort to engage i swear#i know she's the only other native english speaker and the others are working at that disadvantage#but they don't even appear to Try. they never show up to class on time and rarely attempt to answer questions in class#which makes me stick out even more#but whatever. this is what we're here to learn. this is what I'M here to learn#sasha speaks#i wanna talk about me

My toxic trait is that I like how my incomplete drawings look better than the finished things
#im sorry i cant be her (my searching lines)#i cant stop thinking about this drawing i have a sinking feeling that im gonna be very unhappy when its done#or. not unhappy. but not as excited as i feel about it now!#i only worked in two short chunks on it but both were pretty productive#i have a feeling that when i take the time to really dedicate myself to it im gonna fuck something up#like i can see areas i need to/can improve already but the glaring flaws are ok! bc it's not finished!#it OVERALL looks cool and LOOKS like it has the potential to turn out well#but will it... WILL IT??? WILL IT EVER?#i have never been so totally completely satisfied w any finished drawing ive dedicated myself to fully.#tales from diana#this is also only the second time ive done a really deliberate self-portrait that wasnt in some for or another. practice#like of course ive drawn my face before. not that often actually. but since yes i do draw. i have drawn myself#i probably should've drawn myself more times for how often i think id like a nice picture of myself#but then again its not gonna be so 'nice' if i make it and am not totally happy w it?#see one of the ppl who inspired me to learn to draw is ned @sneez my dearest. he's spoiled me before#and drawn me very beautifully on several occasions and it's very much a thing to move one's heart#to see someone dedicate their talent to depicting YOU.#and i might say HE has made me look more beautiful in art than i think i'll ever look in the flesh#which is not to say he drew me inaccurately. but he's so talented that his art is more beautiful than life.#and i dont compare myself in skill to him bc he's been doing it for YEARS and way more trained than me in the visual arts.#like it simply wouldn't be fair so i only compare myself to myself. naturally#but i used to think. very VAINLY i might say. that if i could draw like him id draw beautiful pictures of myself all the time#well ce n'est pas ca mon ami. since learning to draw i've found im much more interested in drawing ppl i find beautiful#rather than myself. im not art. not through my own eyes at least.#i should really draw ned sometime. i really should.#actually somewhat embarrasingly i tried to draw him like 5 or 6 years ago. and i NEVER tried to draw then#i did show him tho and he thought it was very impressive but that's probably just bc he loves me. xoxox#maybe ill post that someday as a throwback just for the hell of it. lol. thatd be cute

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol
#I added a few people that you can randomly run into around town (like at the inn or in the forest or etc) and have very short conversations#with just to kind of flesh out the world a little more in a more natural-ish seeming way. Like nobody in the main cast would really#have much reason to talk about the actual city you're in or anything. Since most of them havent lived there that long anyway.#But if there's a ''city inspector'' that you can run into whilst he's writing up notes examining the local inn. then maybe there could be a#few dialogue options with him where you can ask about things like that. since he would know more about the area as an offical Government#Worker or etc. Optional of course. since I have to be so wary of my natural inclination to lore dump lol and am trying extra hard to make i#all stuff thats easily avoided/skipped. But for the people like ME who deliberately choose to exhaust every possible optional dialogue#option and explore every single inch of the world and try to collect as much information as possible - then there are a few extra places to#do that. Though obviously not all of them just give exposition for like 15 paragraphs blandly. Some you don't really learn anything from#and it's kind of just.. random flavor to make the non-shop map locations more ''lived in'' feeling. Like the random#little girl you can talk to in the park doesn't bizarrely start reading out the wikipedia description of some War that happened 10 years ag#or whatever. she's just complains about school a little and asks if you've tried the nearby ice cream cart treats and etc lol#ANYWAY..#some of the art is so so evil but I'm not going to spend 800 years trying to clean it up and update it. whatever the hell mess I sketched#out in 2018 or whatever is just what I'm keeping lol... it is what it is#One of the many trials of the whole 'briefly work a few months on something and then abandon it almost entirely only to pick up work#on it literally like 4 - 5 yrs later and now you must contend with trying to decipher whatever weird shit you did years ago' experience lol#Also given the population breakdowns of the world in general I think there's an unrealistic amount of jhevona in this lineup since#they're a much rarer species to just see out and about anywhere but.. it IS a global trading center type area. and the game#takes place in the north (the country of Asen. near the coast. for the maybe 2 or less people who actually keep up with my worldbuilding#enough to know where that is lol (the same continent as Navyete (where the avirre'thel live)) and there's a decent concentration#of nothern jhevona only a short ways away so... tee hee..I shall pretend it makes sense and not merely me just wanting#to represent more of that species because I think their lore is interesting lol#I MEAN also realistically there would NOT be a human here because humans are extremely isolated species that don't even know the rest#of the world exists really and human territories are extremely protected from the outside world but... of course it's like.. well we need#at least One of them to be there for the Optional Lore. Same with the Ythrili. But at least those are like.. PLAUSIBLE.. not nonsensically#outlandish. If I had a Verrucalt or something in there THEN that would be truly lore-breaking almost lol#ANYWAY.. rambling that only means anything to me because nobody else knows what I'm even referencing but hbjh#also I think my character designs are so funny in the sense that I really do just love to do the same thing over and over again ghbjh#wow... random asymmetry and belts and arm straps and high collars where the neck is completely covered?? you dont say..how novel

saw a post about projecting your ethnicity onto a character and started missing vespa ilkay. so so bad
#pov u grow up in a 3rd world country(/planet) where healthcare workers are exported by the thousands like cheap produce to richer countries#it's your ticket out of poverty as long as you can deal with the loneliness the separation from everyone you know the discrimination etc#ive never talked about my hc that vespas mother was one of them sending money every month visiting every couple of years until it just stop#like why return to the swamps when youre doing fine working on a richer planet w much better living conditions#cost of living rises every year. sending home a % of your salary used to be enough to support your husband and daughter and then it isnt#you know how it goes#vespa is also dead set on this path until ranga realizes that hemorrhaging healthcare workers leaves them with little to none of their own#students on scholarships or in community/state universities are bound by return service agreements and are forbidden to leave the country#until theyve rendered a few years of work on ranga to pay back their tuition + as a really shitty solution to the brain drain problem#this is real in my country btw but my professors say a lot of ppl do break their rsa's and fucked off to work in other countries LOL#our state unis can barely afford decent facilities they do nottt have the budget to chase down their own alumni in other countries!#but the mental image is a bit funny#vespa ilkays first crime: tinakasan ang rsa#i do also think it lines up with her having a network of med friends everywhere in the galaxy (heart of it all) you kind of go into pre/med#expecting most of your classmates to leave to work in other countries eventually. mine are aiming for the usa / uae / europe / japan etc#anyway whether vespa breaks her rsa or not she leaves ranga asap decides to switch careers and the rest is history#i also deeply love the fact that she's superstitious i'm very sad it wasn't highlighted more (i've only heard s1-3)#as someone who did grow up in a rural area and went to more albularyos/folk healers than doctors in my childhood. (they never failed me)#lots of folk illnesses (ex. balis; pasma) local medical superstitions (dont eat noodles in hospital; youll have a really toxic shift) etcc#theres also a lot of potential in tying her past as a rangian + med student + assassin to me idk how to word this properly#being raised on cautionary tales of not to touch/disturb anything in the swamps then being given free reign to poke & prod at things in her#lab classes (now with the proper ppe)....she was having so much fun with the curemother prime too lmao#years of walking hanging bridges docks boathouses in ranga etc gave her great balance & stealth#cracking open alien shellfish in the swamps to cutting open bodies for studying then for assassination....#I MISS HER SO MUCH BALIK KN SAKEN 😭😭😭😭😭😭#i get why most people + the canon focuses on her being an assassin bc people find that cooler i guess#but vespa being a swamp girl > 3rd world med student > assassin is so personal To Me. the whole pipeline. eugh.#skl.txt

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not forget about Palestine. This is not a battle of religion and I do not think it should be treated as such. From the river to the sea, they will be free 🇵🇸
Disclaimer: I am not an expert. I am just some guy in the US. I am not a direct source of information. Please listen to Palestinians. Please help them directly. Please help with protests if your country is supplying Israel with weapons like the US.
#but wait there's more#it may take a while for me to gather my thoughts so not immediately#I have so many thoughts specially about holy land experience type shit#my personal belief is that Palestinians should be given back their land#Israel will become a part of Palestine and would receive full citizenship#and all of them will be treated as equals#Aid will go to Palestinians as the country and rebuilt as much as it can be after so much tragedy#Since the idea of Israel was to have a protective Jewish state#I think the better option would be for the world to agree collectively to be a place for refugees#if there's another situation like the holocaust#all refugees should be given that opportunity to escape#there's so many conspiracies against Jewish people which is why I think it needs to be declared by countries to protect any Jewish person#that is fleeing antisemitism in their current country#it doesn't need to be a Jewish state especially with so many Jewish people being pro-Palestine#and living outside of Israel#I know people currently living in Israel and I want them to be safe#And they will be if their government just lets Palestinians live#but yea later on I'll talk about the holy land experience thing I'm pissed about rn#I feel like I haven't said enough on the blog. I have terrible OCD where I'll ruminate about this until I panic#I do not want to be a source of that for others so I encourage you to educate yourself without ruminating#It does not help Palestine to shame yourself and others for not being able to do a specific thing#So instead I ask you to look it up when you are able to and do what you can#I usually do the daily clicker and I wanted to join my university's protests but couldn't#since I was the only one working my job which is monitoring the queer safe space on campus#and I didn't want to close that area just in case it was need by protesters or queer students#just found out today ppl at my school will be expelled if caught so that's why it's at the front of my mind rn

What Is It. i genuinely have no fucking clue

babygirl you are my EVERYTHINg..!!.,1!1!
#attollo#in the tags because he's mary sue af and its embarrassin...#i've said it before but her power is p much transferrable healing factor so like. can take other peoples ouchies or give his to others#and then heals really quickly as long as there are enough excess calories to burn through#side effects often include light headedness or fainting if its a big job.#also like. she tends to transfer any big cuts or injuries that would result in visible scarring.. only exceptions are the piercings and#the edgelord tattoos he got on his fingertips to warn people about his fatal cheese touch (ie touch of extreme wound generosity)#oh right yeah can only transfer wounds through direct contact#like skin to skin#shed still die if like. shot to the head. but everything else theres a chance of survival ESP if shes touching someone or smthn else living#uhhh what else what else.#hangs out with sysba and suha for the clothes probably.#still has medical training.. maybe is an underground doctor or smthn idk#my art#and YES thats his natural hair yes its bleach damaged no idk how to convey that. next.#.. oh yeah lol works with ovo. like not FOR them but. might as well.#oc: alice#EDIT: I want it to be more balanced and less. multifaceted (u get ONE power) so:#instead its just status transfer like maybe a suuper mild healing factor because of how the transfer works -#-can spread trauma to other cells in other areas to minimize overall harm'#-and its semi-automatic so the IS potential for a ned the piemaker situation#so like if alice is freshly dead but the cells arent.. boom transfer#ok i think thats better.

came for the picrew info but now i REALLY wanna know ur oc world lore. what r the clans what r the folklores......
oh boy I'm still working on it (very slow at developing my ocs because my process is literally "wait until something cool spawns into my brain on its own") aaand I tend to focus more on the characters than the world but
I have two different warriors oc universes, H&S (heart and soul) and CO2 (cat ocs 2), they both take place in breezeclan + stormclan + mistclan which are set in the united states midwest. despite these two universes having the same setting they don't exist in the same universe, I just like reusing this setting (I also sometimes reuse characters from H&S and put them in CO2)
H&S has yarrowflame and juniperfang as protagonists, CO2 has smolderheart as its protagonist
this info about the clans is focused on how they are in CO2 because it's what I've been developing more recently and they're more fleshed out in it, but you can more or less apply MOST of this to H&S too:
breezeclan and stormclan have had a strong alliance that is slowly blending their territories together for about 8 years, cats are allowed to cross freely between breeze and storm territory and they regularly trade and share prey. mistclan isn't a part of it, they like being left alone and want to keep their territory to themselves but would also like to remain peaceful.
all three clans have HUGE respect for bobcats (called "lynxes" because it sounds cooler) and mountain lions (very rarely seen, called "lions" or sometimes "great cats"). they admire their independence (an idea that will be explored a lot in CO2's plot is the clans romanticizing the idea of self reliance despite their hugely social nature.)
during CO2's story smolderheart will also be discovering a cave lion fossil which will really shake things up. brand new great cat just dropped and it's REALLY large and ANCIENT!
individual clan info:
breezeclan: - very large, large enough that cats that aren't in important positions aren't expected to know the names of everyone - territory is an even mix of forest, woodland, and prairie - breezeclan cats are commonly warm and friendly individuals - they were the first clan to figure out gardening and much of their clan identity is focused on their gardens. their territory boasts lots of colourful plants and wildflowers. - plants are raised for medicinal purposes primarily, but are also used as bait for prey animals, and as extra flavour for meals - gardeners and medics are separate roles, and both are eligible to become leader just like warriors are - warriors are separated into three semi-unofficial specializations: hunters, fighters, and denkeepers - recent years have been so peaceful that there has been little need for border patrols, and so a relatively new role was created to allow more cats to focus on other activities while still keeping an eye on everything happening on the territory: seekers (short for "seeker of knowledge") - seekers are not mentored for their role, this is intended as a challenge to learn how to find information yourself rather than it being handed to you. (this doesn't mean you can't ask anyone for help, it just means you need to come up with the questions to ask yourself). they spend a large portion of their day outside of camp, looking for Things that the rest of the clan might like to know about and keeping an eye on what's happening outside camp constantly. breezeclan only has 1-3 seekers at a time because 1. you have to be hand selected for the role by the leader 2. not many cats want to be out and about constantly, it gets lonely!
stormclan: - medium sized, more like canon warriors clans are population wise - territory is almost entirely forest. it contains lots of limestone and their camp takes full advantage of this fact, it's very protective - stereotypically stoic, strong, and proud cats - they don't have as many different roles as breezeclan (they're pretty much same roles as canon warriors) but have started to experiment with the idea, particularly they are starting to phase out border patrols and discussing the idea of implementing a seeker role - they've also started to pick up gardening since they allied with breezeclan
mistclan: - small clan! there's like maybe 12 guys here - woodland and wetlands/marshes territory, generally lots more open area than the other two clans have - they have a rough history with the other two clans that I haven't fleshed out very much yet but it pretty much boils down to, a big past war with stormclan that breezeclan chose to support stormclan through. it's been peaceful for a very long time now but it permanently altered the clans' ideas of each other - a little underdeveloped unfortunately I've been focusing on the other two a lot..
there's also a small group of strays (loners) that live near a lake that's just outside clan territories, they contrast how strongly social the clans are. for example, among stray cats it's uncommon for cats to have a dedicated mate (and kittens usually have just one parent), while in the clans the norm is to have a dedicated mate and for kittens to have more than one parent. (another piece of the theme of self reliance vs reliance on others in CO2)
#co2#h&s#maybe i add more to this later?#working on clan cat myths and thoughts about other wildlife is something i want to work on soon#since the setting is very inspired by the one and only “The area where i live”#the setting is heavily inspired by trails i like to walk at#so far the biggest thing related to that is that the clan cats know about the concept of invasive species and#actively work to remove honeysuckle from their territory#(this will be surprisingly plot relevant)
