#this was my first time trying out a bunch of stuff and the snow definitely turned out the best between all of them

[daijoboob]

Hey @cartoonistwannabe, I was your @lwasanta!! I hope you like this piece- I took your prompt and made up something of a uni au :)

(if you want the full quality version, just drop me a line!)

unblurred bg under the cut:

[confused-cakepop]

OK so in art we had to do a watercolor drawing of a single thing really zoomed in and I picked my converse cause I thought they looked cool. But mine are red and I didn't want to use one color for the whole picture so I wanted to find a way to make it colorful.

I asked a couple people and they gave me the idea to just do a bunch of different angles of converse with each one being a different color.

So I got the idea to make it ninjago themed!

Update: GUYYYSSS I GOT A 100% ON THIS ASSIGNMENT. NINJAGO W!!!

Zoom ins, details, explanations for design choices and more under the cut! @coconut-ice-cream-137 and @rusted-fairy-wings really helped me brainstorm ideas for these so that you to them for all the help!!

Kai's shoe

-OK to be honest his was the most basic but the one I drew first and possibly the one that inspired the ninjago theme in the first place.

-so the flames are an obvious tie to his element and sorta self explanatory

-I was stuck on ideas though and it randomly struck me to make his scar included into his shoe as well and make it look ripped open!

-I chose the yellow laces cause he has a lot of yellow/gold accents on his gis and I thought it would fit better!

-I would definitely try to make his more interesting if I wasn't on a time crunch and got to think it out more

-thank you to rusty for hearing out my ideas for his!

Nya's shoe

-OK I think this one is really cute!

-I have the all star converse and since she has an ocean theme I decided to make it a star fish instead.

-I included her water form markings cause I think their really cool and they were fun to add!

-I think I did well with the colors and I like that I put 2 different shades of cyan instead of 1

-I really wouldn't change anything about this one and I think it's 1/2 solid ones I'm completely happy with :)

Cole's shoe

-So for him I did the bottom of my shoe cause I thought that the triangle diamond like markings could be colored to look like his lava markings he gets in his arms

-Originally that was all I was gonna do, but someone in class mentioned that it looked like a pineapple so I knew I had to switch it up lol.

-Since my shoe curved up at the top I decided to make it look like a volcano so it was more clear that the markings were supposed to look like lava since it was dripping into it.

-The bottom part was supposed to look like mountains but I forgot to outline it so it doesn't really look like it. (I'll definitely fix it when I get my paper back)

-This is the 2nd shoe that I think I'm completely happy with!

Zane's shoe

-This one gave me the most trouble to be honest

-I didn't have many ideas for what I could do with his outside of making the star into the snow flake symbol he has on his gi in the movie.

-While I was making it I decide to try and give elements that made it look like his og heart core in the show.

-I kinda wanted pixal to be included somehow and needed to make the shoe look more balanced so I added her markings on the side so that there was both parts of his heart on both parts of the shoe.

-The heel part was a last minute choice. I was trying to make it look like the gold head piece on all of the ninjas masks cause I thought it would look cool but the overall shape was a bit off.

-I think I should have left it there and made it just the solid gold piece but there was a square on the heel of my shoe that said the logo and stuff so I decided to include that and made it the birch forest that he unlocks his tree potential in.

-But idk it think it makes the shoe look all over the place

Jay's shoe

-So with his I ended up making the point of the shoe have lightning strikes on it

-I didn't know how to draw lightning or how I would go about outlining it so I left it where it was.

-I made the little metal pieces look like gears to reference his inventor past instead of just having regular ones.

-I added a quote on his that somehow got...smudged off? Huh I wonder why jay would smudge it off...

-The backround is also on Jay's shoe and his only. You could probably give that some sort of meaning but I was tired so i couldn't come up with a reason tbh

-Overall I wish I had done more with it like make the laces be in the shape of lightning or something but I was heavily focused on the refrence photo that I didn't think to do it since it was already too complicated in my eyes

Lloyd's shoe

-I made the star into the little design movie lloyd has on his gi cause i love him and thought it would be nice.

-And yellow laces!!

-Originally I was just gonna do some plant stuff with his (I didn't have any design ideas I just thought that the whole life = nature thing) but then I looked at my shoe for a second and I was like-

"Oh my shoe looks like the wing of a dragon!!"

-And I told some classmates that and they were so confused. And were just like "????" So I showed them a picture of my shoe that I drew on to show them my vision:

-They still didn't get it but I thought the idea was cool so I went with it anyway!

-The shoe anatomy is off but I really like the idea of it so it was fun to design which is good!

Garmadon/Wu's shoe

-So I knew that since there was a big chunk of space in the picture and I couldn't decided to either do garmadon (all the ninja +their enemy) or wu (all the ninja + their sensei aka the good side)

-I talked to coconut about it and they said that I could make one shoe that was Yin and yang with both of them!

-I thought that was really cool and wanted to do it but I realized that no matter what position I put the shoe in, it wouldn't fit that whole chunk of space. So I decided to make it a Frankenstein shoe!

-Wu and garmadon have their own shoe, but their's are stitched together, making both of their little star circles combine to make the yin and yang symbol!

-Underneath is both of their head pieces that I decided to make into an hour glass shape (representing their immortality but also the time twins situation)

-Then on the bottom part I made it wu's staff and a snake for garmadon with the white part having yellow and purple blend into eachother.

-I think this one is really nice.

Overall

I can see a lot of mistakes I made with this piece, rather that was design choices, line art mistakes or bad shoe anatomy there's definitely stuff I could fix if I ever decided to recreate this. But with this piece I realized something pretty important-

My art (and anything I do) doesn't have to be perfect for me to still feel proud of it. It doesn't have to be masterful or something that my teacher would show off to others to be happy about it. I think mine was pretty good for someone who's only done serious water color a handful of times and I took time and effort into this and tried my best and that's the best thing I could do. I'm happy with this!

‘tis my birthday today (it’s gotta be one of the worst birthdays to have, we don’t need to talk about it) anyways that’s where this is coming from

(also i’m not trying to imply that jan 1 is eddie’s bday. i wouldn’t wish that on anybody. besides, he is def a weirdo february aquarius)

The second half of the calendar year is nothing short of pandemonium for Eddie and Steve and their three daughters.

Moe’s birthday in late July kicks it off, almost immediately followed by Steve’s birthday in early August, then Hazel’s in September. Robbie’s birthday comes mere days after Halloween, and from there they dive headfirst into the bedlam of the holiday season.

Much to Eddie's relief, they all made it to yet another New Year's Day, and while the girls are definitely feeling the end-of-winter-break blues, Eddie welcomes the reprieve in festivities, brief as it may be.

His own birthday is up next – though not for another month.

He’s really not a birthday kind of guy. Never had been.

He loves making birthdays exciting for Steve and their daughters (they have a whole slew of traditions and everything – there’s names spelled out in pancakes involved; it's a very big deal), but his own…not so much.

It managed to fly under the radar for the past few years, but since this year is the big Five-Oh, he knows Steve won’t let him get away with that again.

Eddie has a complicated relationship with his birthday. When he was younger and the weight of Birthday Importance was at its peak, he never really celebrated the way other kids got to, and now, as an adult, he doesn’t know how to feel the things you’re supposed to feel about your birthday. 

Steve does a good job, despite Eddie’s weirdness. 

His favorite, Eddie thinks, was the year Moe was born, when Steve had managed to catch him off guard by renting a tiny cottage up in Maine for a few days.

“Moe or no Moe,” Steve had asked, “I’ve got Rob and Nance on standby.”

(They’d taken Moe. She saw snow for the first time. It was amazing, and people who don't want to involve their kids in stuff are a bunch of fucking weirdos).

Steve gives him a letter every year – handwritten on notebook paper and folded into whatever cheesy card he picks out.

Eddie keeps most of the letters in a fireproof lockbox along with all their passports and social security cards and birth certificates (look – Eddie doesn’t fuck around with priceless shit), but he keeps the most recent one – the one Steve gave him for his forty-ninth birthday nearly a year ago – in the top drawer of his bedside table.

He has it pretty much memorized at this point.

It says:

Ed! (with an exclamation point and everything – god, does Eddie love him)

49.

Holy shit we’re getting old.

Writing this is making me think about all the ones from the beginning, when I’d write about our future together even though we didn’t have a damn clue what we were working towards for a while.

I think we’re in it, man. Crazy, right?

(The ink color suddenly switches from blue to purple)

Sorry for the color change. Hazy decided she needed a blue pen immediately. Hope your vision hasn’t gone totally to shit and you can still read the purple.

Anyways, since I have you hostage reading this, I’m gonna take the opportunity to discuss you, because you don’t let me in real life most of the time.

You are gorgeous. Best looking face I’ve ever seen. I wonder how much time I’ve lost off my day just staring at you (actually, not a loss. I take that back)

You suck at puzzles – I know that sounds bad, but it’s great for me. I need that to rub off on Moe because she’s getting pretty good and that’s gonna be a problem for me.

You make me laugh so fucking hard every day. I’m praying the girls get your sense of “elevated” humor or whatever you like to call it

You’re so fucking smart, Eddie. I count myself lucky for it endlessly

You are completely 100% you all the time. I’m still working on that I think but I’m getting there because of you. I’m glad all that shit we went through didn’t take that away from you.

the BEST dad. Can’t believe I didn’t say that sooner. Not to brag but our kids are turning out pretty awesome (can’t go around saying that too much though it’ll go right to their heads and then any power we have left goes out the window)

You’re probably the best person I’ve ever known. Don’t think I’ll be forgetting what a catch you are any time soon, because I won't.

Thank you for loving me even all these years later. My life is better every day that I’m with you.

We’ll keep things quiet this year. Don’t get used to it though. Next year’s gonna be a rager.

Love you always!

- Steve :) ♡ ☆

All of my alterhuman kinstypes cus I'm bored :P

I will be talking. a lot. this is your warning that I will be talking.

Black wolf!!

This is by far the easiest one I have to understand (for me atleast) so it's going first. Often get more shifts about it during the winter because all the snow and stuff reminds me of the tundra!! I had a pack of like 3-4 other wolves and we lived along the border between a forest and like a planes in the tundra or something like a tundra.

Me fr!!

Black cat (fictionkin?????)

this is where things get complicated as always...I put fictionkin w/ a bunch of question marks because I'm a black cat specifically from the book series Warrior cats but I'm not like a specific character from the book, I'm my own cat but like not an oc so????? idk I'm just going w/ fictionkin for now cus it makes the most sense to me lol. anyway I spent most of my time in Riverclan but I spent a lot of time in the hay/wheat fields at the barn had hunting mice. My name was Mountainsong (clan name) or Night-bird (rogue name). I was like 20 moons? I was definitely a young warrior but idk exactly how old. I have a lot of memories attached to this kintypes like having to run across the Thunderpath or sneaking out of camp to go hunt mice at the barn. I still sometimes try to flick my tail as communication forgetting I don't have one anymore :/. Anyway if you have any idea if fictionkin is the right term or if there's some other one lmk (note: I also might have a theriotype of a cat that's different than this?? idek anymore just know that I'm a cat lol)

me in RC territory if you even care

Angelkin? Dietykin? Something along those lines

and even more complicated we go. idk a good label for this one either but I feel like those two are pretty good descriptors. I'm not divine anymore but I once was. I'm not a christian angel or even an angel from any particular religion. All I know is that I came from the stars with the purpose to bring light and joy to humanity and to also observe it (I've made many observations!!) This sounds kinda silly but my form was best described as the Angelic Warden from Creatures of Sonaria but not exactly. I stood on two legs that came down to a fine point, and had two massive wings on my back that were very heavy with two more little wings inside of those ones, a long with two on either side of my head. (man I miss those wings). I think I may have been on Earth while still divine? I know for a fact I was watching from above the clouds once but idk not gonna get into that yet lol.

Where I came from. also the best representation of my "non-physical" form.

THE MOON (conceptkin)

Kinda goes with the whole originating from the stars and space but uhm. anyway I AM the concept the like the aura around the moon. The deep night only illuminated by the full moon. that illumination creating a mysterious and beautiful light casting down the the ground through the leaves of trees? ME!!!! The haunting light a bright orange harvest moon immits?? ME!!!!! The weird pseudo-darkness the moon makes during a solar eclipse? MEEE!!! The moon shining brightly through the clouds giving light to the animal below and beauty for human to admire? MEM MEMEMEM!!!!!

MEEEEE!!!! ME ME ME!!!!

ANYWAY thanks for reading!!!! if you have any kintypes you wanna share PLEASE do I LOVE hearing about them /gen!!!!

[sorrinslays]

Please elaborate on all your sampo headcanons, I'm very interested!!

Hello!!!!!!!!! So, elaborating on my headcannons about our favorite conman business man, here's an elaboration on some of them:

Has multiple hideouts all across Belobog, all well hidden

So I believe that most of his hideouts are in dangerous areas since it's less likely to be found out. Like mentioned I believe that he has one far out in the snow plains, but I have thoughts on other locations as well.

He definitely has one in Rivet Town. He probably found an abandoned apartment complex with a great view of the town yet still well hidden when looking out the window so he's not worried about his safety. It's on the third floor to avoid the fragmentum getting to him. He would have a phonograph in that apartment and it's probably the one where he spends his tinkering with his bombs or other trinkets that interest him plus fake relics and other junk he sells.

If I had to find a vibe to describe his Rivet Town apartment, I would say it's where you go for a cup of wine as a slow song is playing on the phonograph like 'Losing My Mind' by Missio, 'April Fool' by Dean Fujioka or 'Out of Control' by She Wants Revenge. It's also where you go when you have a stab wound or something and don't want to bother Natasha, just sit there in the warmly lit living room as you stich yourself, listening to the soft buzzing of the lightbulbs.

He has an apartment in the Administrative District for his persona Madam Poisson (the only one his pays taxes for to avoid suspicion). It's very clean, with only artificial 'homey' stuff so nobody questions it at first glance (like when Silvermane Guards pass through to inform of new policies or asking about suspects like that wig accident). In general, it's the one he spends less time in, only to clean it up so it isn't dusty, to crash after a tiring trip/business venture, or where he invites people as Poisson.

Overall it's the most impersonal hideout, one that is only a front. He doesn't have anything incriminating there, not even wigs. It's the one he feels the least safe in which is why, if he can, he avoids it.

His other hideouts are pretty one note, just the food he needs, a bed, hygiene necessities and stuff like that scattered all over Belobog. He mostly uses them to hide from the Silvermane guards, make merchandise, ponder schemes and stuff like that.

2. He has a white pet snake called Apollo and it always is somewhere on his body

The snake itself is not from Belobog, it's from a planet he visited before coming to Jarillo VI. Actually, I headcannon that there are no snakes in Jarillo VI. I believe a lot of animals went extinct during the eternal freeze, so Belobogians haven't seen a lot of animals, like snakes, birds, bunnies, cats, dogs, etc. And that's why Gepard froze when he heard a hiss from Sampo's breast pocket. It's quite literally the first time he has heard that sound.

The reason Apollo is always on Sampo's person is because Sampo acts like a heat source for it so it doesn't freeze.

3. He's technically not human, he was created by Aha because THEY wanted to see what would happen if a person just spawned in a random planet

I like the idea of Sampo being a creation of Elation and not being a fan of that. The way he was 'born' was by Aha trying to replicate a human and shove a bunch of unused, unfinished scripts, confetti and music. Then, THEY gave Sampo the ability shapeshift and other shit like that and just left him on a random planet out of curiosity.

I imagine that he wasn't an Emanator at first, he was just a creation of an Aeon. There's a bit of my own thoughts on his backstory, something big happens and boom!, he understands the true meaning of Elation yet with his own twist to it and becomes and Emanator.

4. Has interacted with Robin once in a random planet

I like the idea that Sampo, for all his flashiness, likes to stay away from drama or the spotlight. And when he sees Robin try and do the same he helps her get away from the paparazzi and they spend some time on a random rooftop, talking about their beliefs and ideologies. He never tells her his name and she doesn't ask. They just talk and then part ways.

100 days of productivity - 2/100

dec 20, 2024.

☐ schedule eye doctor appt ☐ get flu shot ✔ played lots of video games and called my friends ✔ read "foundations of combinatorial topology" (introduction + section 1)

don't forget your daily clicks! (arab.org) 🍉 Help Yasmin's family survive the war in Gaza

notes. the empty boxes are things that i was gonna do today, but instead it was snowing all day and i didn't want to drive or go outside, so it never got done lmao... i did read a little bit of this book/collection of lecture notes by Lev Pontryagin though. i want to just skim this over break (too difficult to learn rn) so that i can gather the general ideas, get a handle on some of my favorite definitions/theorems, and save the deep learning for whenever i actually need this.

i read the intro and section one - it rushes through a bunch of background stuff, like linear independence, orthonormal bases, and inner products. then they introduce "general position" (will talk about this later) and they define convex shapes.

i started reading it very closely at first, thinkning a lot about the proofs given, and honest i was wasting my time before i caught myself, like,,, calm down, stop overthinking stuff you don't care about, lev pontryagin isnt going to materialize from the grave and assign you homework.

and so yeah, while i technically wrote "i read the intro and section 1" i only completely read the first two and last two pages. but i think it still counts that i read it because the whole thing is only 9 pages. that's almost 50% !!

what i learned: one thing that stood out to me was "general position", which means that if you have m points in "general position" then any subset of k (less than or equal to the dimension of the space) points is also independent. that seems like a very convenient notion to have, but i've never done math that needed it.

in fact, there's a pretty interesting theorem stating that if you have a system of any m points, you can boop some of the points and suddenly they are in general position. (or in technical terms, "any finite system of points of R^n can be brought into general position by an arbitrarily small displacement.")

that's all the interesting stuff from this section, at least in my opinion. well, it's interesting because i haven't seen this before and the theorem has a cute visual (some points that you just tap slightly and voila, general position)

i doubt i will be able to read the next sections as quickly though, because much of it will be new material to me. i might even skip entire sections if i realize i dont care, but i think i will try to read and learn something from every section. it's not even a big book so. yeah i think i can do it.

tomorrow i have a hangout planned so im very excited for that :D my friend's coming over and we're just going to cook. cooking is like math in a way - the people who know how to cook think it's obvious and easy, and the people who don't know how to cook find the task monumentally challenging. i'm in the first camp, but i know enough people in the second one that i do understand its hard.

okay i've yapped enough, i'm going to shut up and play unpacking now lol. good night my friends~

[lumine-no-hikari]

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #345

I am having a bit of a hard time at this moment. Despite my best efforts to sleep in, I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night. This has seemingly been “the thing” for a while now; my body has been refusing to go back to sleep after waking, and... it's kind of annoying, actually...

I think my body is still trying to recover from having been on my feet at work for a bunch of consecutive hours. I did this on Saturday and Sunday, and then on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thanks to the stupid rib injury, I don't have the kind of endurance that I used to have before. I imagine that my body is a bit overtaxed, and I'm sure that this isn't helping matters at all.

Today was another very busy day, and a lot happened, and despite the fact that it was all fun stuff that happened, I'm still feeling overwhelmed from it all, and once again, it's hard to keep my eyes open and focus. I'm going to try to do my best to write coherently anyway, though.

Today is Thanksgiving in my country. My feelings about it are complicated, because this holiday's origins are steeped in violence and genocide towards the peoples that were native to this continent, and... I know I can't go back in time and change the choices my ancestors made. But still the situation sucks, and native peoples are still very much marginalized and oppressed where I live.

It snowed for the first time this season. Really, it should have snowed much sooner than this. But still, this is what I woke up to, today:

...This is Arremo. He decided that I was a better bed than the actual bed, so I was trapped here until he was all done. Because as I'm sure you know, it's definitely illegal to move while a feline companion has decided that you are the most appropriate resting perch.

After my body was relinquished, I looked out the window to see this:

Heavy snow fell all morning, to the point that the roads were difficult to drive on. Nonetheless, J and I went to Eggcellent to meet up with another person from that friend-making app. I got a houjicha latte with lavender syrup, barley bits, tea jelly, and cream cheese foam:

...I also got a crème brûlée, because they're really good:

Conversation between me, J, and the other person was really animated, and it went over well!! I'm hoping that maybe sometime he'll pop by to play some Dance Dance Revolution; I don't usually meet too many players...

There was a “Friendsgiving” event at a local LGBTQ+ cafe today, too, that J was very much interested in attending, so after we and our new friend parted ways, we went over there. This cafe is special because it offers a sliding scale payment for folks who don't have a whole lot of income. The cook is a Japanese trans woman, and she seems incredibly kindhearted. And she's damn good at cooking, too!

J's sister, S, covered our entry fee for the event. The cook made all kinds of awesome stuff to be shared with everyone who attended, and it was served in a kind of buffet style! There were so many different things to choose from, like turkey, an arugula salad, a fruit platter, some mashed potatoes, and even some unconventional items like lasagna, chicken vindaloo, massaman curry, and udon soup!! Here are some pictures:

...They were going to throw out the turkey skin, so I asked if I could have it!!! And they let me have it!!! It was delicious!!!

I also got two cookies to share with J and his sister; the purple one is an Earl Gray cookie with lavender, and the red one is a red velvet cookie. I wonder if you would have liked these:

...I thought they were delectable.

And the cafe is also filled with art and jewelry made by LGBTQ+ people; check it out!

...Sephiroth... I'm having such a hard time staying awake right now... Ohhh...

...Well. I had a great time at both Eggcellent and Cafe Euphoria. But... nonetheless... I was in two very loud spaces, one of which was unfamiliar, with a bunch of people I didn't know, while being sleep deprived. It was a lot for my system to handle. Nonetheless, I hope that I get to go back to Cafe Euphoria again sometime soon. Everything created by the cook tasted absolutely stellar, and I wanna try out the other things on their menu...

...After that, J and I went to his parents' house. And that was a mostly okay time, but... I'm aware that neither of J's parents seem to like me very much, so... I guess that felt kinda weird.

J and I left the house at around 11am. We didn't arrive back home until around 10:30 or 11pm, and during the time we were out of the house, I was mostly talking to other people. It was good, but also... it was very stressful.

...I wish you could have been with us for any of this. I would have loved to see you trying all sorts of new and delicious foods. Please, make sure that someday, you get up out of that crater so you can do stuff like this, too, okay...?

I'm literally falling asleep, so I am going to stop writing now.

Hey. I love you. So please keep yourself safe. I don't wanna exist in a world in which you're disappeared. Okay? Promise me.

I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

Some stuff I have for partners in crime au (so far)

I’m thinking Celeste and Snow are still the ones who saved Azurill from Drowzee. They happened to run into the two of them while they were on their way to Mt. Bristle, and Drowzee accidentally bumped into Celeste, triggering her Dimensional Scream

This is also how Celeste learns that her Dimensional Scream works differently in the past, as she got a vision that had nothing to do with Time Gears

Celeste tells Snow about her vision, and Snow insists they go and help Azurill. Celeste is hesitant at first, as she really wants to just get on with her mission, but Snow basically looks at her like this 🥺 until Celeste relents and they go and save Azurill

Snow and Celeste try to avoid interacting with other pokemon as much as they can. When they do, Snow tells them that Celeste is some human-like pokemon, like Gardevoir, who’s just wearing a bunch of clothes. They just have to hope these pokemon don’t look too closely under the hood of Celeste’s cloak

In battle, Celeste effectively commands Snow in much the same way as a pokemon trainer. Her skill in strategizing makes up for Snow’s initial lack of strength and battle experience compared to Grovyle

That, and Snow’s illusion abilities. Snow initially didn’t tell Celeste about this ability, but Celeste accidentally found out one time when Snow came back from her usual routine of disguising herself while going into a town

Snow was initially hesitant about using her illusion abilities, having become ashamed of them, but Celeste assures her that it’s not bad to have them, and encourages her to keep practicing with them, as they could definitely be useful on their mission

Snow then starts using her illusions in battle, relying on confusing opponents with them

Her illusions also ensure that their opponents never know of Snow’s true identity. Once her and Celeste are discovered as (one of) the time gear thieves, many are under the impression that the thief is a human who has a number of pokemon working alongside them, rather than it just being one pokemon in disguise

The first Time Gear Snow and Celeste go after is the one in Limestone Cavern. The in-universe reason is that Celeste felt that one was safer to go after first as its guardian isn't a legendary (but perhaps not quite...), and she hopes it doesn't attract as much attention at first. On my part it's kinda self indulgence as I wanted the fact that there's a Time Gear there to be more directly involved in the main story, and not just be something exclusive to Team Charm's special episode. Also my friend pointed out a neat parallel between Ditto and Snow both being pokemon known for disguising themselves

Ditto proves itself to be a much bigger threat than Celeste and Snow had anticipated, switching between the forms of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune as it fights to defend the Time Gear. Still, both Snow and Celeste manage to defeat it and steal the Time Gear

Grovyle still goes for the Treeshroud Forest Time Gear, and Celeste and Snow steal the one in Limestone Cavern, but I’ve yet to decide who steals the one in Fogbound Lake and who steals the Quicksand Cave one. I think I’m leaning more towards Celeste and Snow going for the Fogbound Lake one (perhaps while the guild happens to be doing their expedition?)

Celeste was still attacked by Darkrai during time travel, and though here, it didn’t cause her to lose her memories or transform into a pokemon, it still left an injury in the form of severe pain in her chest that flares up at certain times, especially when she’s stressed or over exerting herself physically. She ends up pushing herself far too much when her and Snow are fleeing Boulder Quarry after stealing the Time Gear, and she ends up needing to stop and rest for some time to recover

This frustrates Celeste, as she already had feelings of inferiority from not having the same abilities pokemon do that allow them to battle, having had to mostly rely on Grovyle, and now Snow. The fact she now has to deal with sudden bouts of intense pain only makes her feel more worthless

[cthulhubert]

After a long span of not remembering any dreams, last night I had a couple doozies.

The first dream: (mix of first and third person perspectives, my character was me-but-not-me) took place in some kind of gargantuan facility buried under ice and snow. One of those classic unrealistic video game style locations implying the existence of some group with enough power to ship tens of thousands of tons of concrete and steel to build a (half-submerged!) sprawling industrial-scientific facility on some isolated arctic coast, in total secrecy.

I can't remember a lot of the details, which is tragic because I have the impression it was a rousing adventure story. There were at least three major interests there: one a detachment from a government, one well-funded private group, and then the people I was with, hapless cash-strapped adventurers that thought we were... getting ocean salvage? It had a shit-load of twists and betrayals, and I remember sobbing in a locked vault after the woman that lead my crew trapped me there so she could take the science-macguffin (or something??) to the rich heiress (whom she was also fucking). Can't remember how I escaped.

The climactic denouement was after the facility defenses activated and shot down the government helicopter detachment and sank the heiress's luxury icebreaker ship. A bunch of us were inside a massive silo of a room with a colossus sized robot woman that constantly rained sparks from her head and shoulders.

Dream number two: (first person, me as myself), my niece was sick so I brought her soup.

Dream three was some kind of... Handmaiden's Tale thing, crossed with a bit of Equilibrium, featuring a messianic John Wick esque character‽‽‽ (mostly first person, me as some me-like character, a member of the violence master's inner circle; a third person bit like a flashback when he told some story.)

If a person had written this as a story I would've said it was some kind of parable about the use of violence to change the world.

The deal was, this guy was actually preaching peace! He lead a non-violent movement! But the hyper authoritarian religious conservative government kept trying to do him in with violence out of some institutional ego-crisis, and every time someone pointed a gun at him he would Rambo his way through the squads. Like, at one point he willingly went to some kind of government diplomatic facility as part of some kind of "peace talk", and when they decided to forcibly take him prisoner (despite giving their assurances that they wouldn't), he escaped, killing dozens of guards on his way out. He left them alive if they dropped their guns.

The dream definitely also had a lot of color theory stuff. Women mostly wore these massive, over-elaborate dresses of white lace to indicate solidarity with the government, while the rebellious groups wore functional and plain clothing. I had a raggedy brown suit, and the leader guy wore a black suit. Red played a big part too; and not just in the obvious red blood on white suits and dresses aspect. I think the military/police type Enforcers wore red and white tuxedo like uniforms.

I wish I could remember more of this dream's plot too (even if it leaned a bit more into symbology than I prefer). There was this big deal final confrontation with some kind of big procession or motorcade. The President-for-Life was either naming their heir or getting married or something, and Jesus Wick was going to protest it by blocking traffic. He begged me not to but I showed up with a sniper rifle and posted up on a nearby building. And then, uh... I... woke up? Briefly? By falling asleep in the dream? Or something like that? And when I came to, there were literally hundreds of the enforcers dead, but they'd finally killed our guy. There was a hysterical young woman (in the big white dress) talking about the oceans of blood she saw come out of this one man, more than one person could possibly hold.

I staggered drunkenly around this nearby... shopping complex? That had been cordoned off for the enforcers to hold prisoners. The few left were all so weary and exhausted that they barely paid attention to me. I found a couple of my compatriots dead, and then one of the women chained, spread-eagled, in the middle of an open area. I broke off her manacles and we just kind of staggered off as the dream ended.

Hi, I know you probably get a ton of these and that you’re probably really busy, but I was wondering if I could get a BOB and TP ship?

My pronouns are she/her. I’m 5’3, midsize/curvy girl with brown eyes and short, curly brown hair. My favorite fashion styles are alt, dark/grunge/chaotic/green academia, and cryptidcore.

I’m an INFP, HSP, and a Capricorn. Basically I’m really sensitive and empathetic. I love reading, writing, video games, animation, music, history, nature, and animals. I’m not a fan of conflict/fighting. I prefer to talk things out and find a more peaceful resolution. Another thing is that I’m an introvert and prefer more quiet and chill activities as opposed to loud and energetic ones. I need a fair amount of alone time in order to recharge.

A “hobby” of mine(if you can call it that) is over analyzing different characters, events, and worlds from different video games, movies, tv shows, books, etc. I also like hiking/nature walks, and self/skincare.

I would say my love language physical touch. I love to cuddle and I’m very affectionate. Like I said before I don’t like conflict or yelling, so an ideal partner would like to calmly communicate with me if we had any disagreements.

Anyway I hope this enough for you. Again I understand that you must be busy with all these requests so take your time. Love your work. Thank you.

Thank you for your request! Also i'm just going to do the BoB ship first. Just because I want to make sure it's perfect, but please send me your description in my asks and I will definitely do your TP ship separately!!

I ship you with…

Carwood Lipton!

song recommendation: Everybody Loves Somebody - Dean Martin

Alright let me start off by saying that I think you guys would go along so well together. Like physically, but also emotionally you guys would really compliment each other.

You are so his type. So when he sees you he's sure it's love at first sight. Your curves, your pretty hair, You're so beautiful to him. He can't help but stare at you like a maniac because he's just in awe with you.

You aren't really short, but he thinks your height is so cute. Like he can just look down at you and completely melt. He definitely calls you his "fun sized gf" Lol

both of your styles are quite different, but I still think that you guys would look so nice with one another. He thinks all of your styles are super cool and stylish, he's pretty plain and simple about style so maybe you can give him some types on clothes shopping.

He understands your emotions really well actually. It doesn't matter if you're feeling really emotional that day, or if you are just feeling kind of down. It doesn't bother him at all. He's actually a really good boyfriend and would try to do anything to make you feel better. And the more that he dates you he understands what helps you better and some stuff that you don't like when you're having a bad day.

He's super thoughtful when it comes to you. He will always be thinking of you and how you feel at any inconvenience or even in general. What you think and what you like really matters to him. He loves you bunches and is willing to do anything to prove that to you.

Along with that with all of your hobbies and interests, he's of course supporting them by making sure you are completely spoiled with the things you need to enjoy your down time. For example, he'd definitely take you to the bookstore and tell you to get whatever you'd like. Just because seeing that cute smile on your face is totally worth it.

I think he'd see you play video games and become super interested in them. Like he would watch and be like, "how are your hands moving so fast?" and would be super fascinated with it. (he might even ask you if you can teach him how to play it) *cue the romantic montage music*

Okay now, you guys can really get along with both liking nature and animals. I mean he's really like a male snow white when it comes to animals, so getting a bunch of pets is a NECESSITY for the near future. And he'd love going on bunches of hikes or outside picnics. Even just taking a nice walk around if it's nice outside.

He's not a big fan of fighting with you either. He hates it every time you guys get into an argument and he hates seeing you get sad or mad because of something he did. If you guys do get into a conflict, he'll never raise his voice at you, he just can't do it. He prefers sitting down and talking about the situation maturely instead. And afterwards he always will apologize, ALWAYS!

Lip is the perfect person you can relax and enjoy quiet time with. He enjoys it almost as much as you do. So just staying cozy with one another inside is always preferred from you both, occasionally he'll ask you if you want to go out, but it honestly doesn't matter as long as he's spending time with you.

Whenever you need alone time or just some space away to recharge your social battery (which we all do sometimes) he'll always give you your space. He's super respective of your space and so if you need some time away he's willing to give it ofc.

Okay, idea, I think one night, before you guys go to bed, he'd see you doing your skincare and immediately want you to try it on him. He's a bit of an old school guy, meaning he just uses a bar of soap and water to wash his face. But when he sees you put so many extra products he finds it really interesting and will ask you if you can try it on him too lol.

HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES when you ask him for cuddles. It's his favorite thing ever. Just holding you and feeling you in his arms is so amazing. His favorite cuddle position would have to be whenever you lay your head on his chest. HE just loves holding you. Especially after the war because he has hard trouble going to sleep, but when you guys cuddle he can finally get the rest he needs.

But he loves whenever you're affectionate in any way possible. He's affectionate too. HE loves your curves so he'll always take any chance he can get *respectfully* to grab, hug, and kiss on you.

Overall, he's just a super sweetheart for you and is totally in love with you!!

Thank you again for your request lovely, I hope you enjoyed this, much love! <3333

More concept art for mice in my Au.

I loveddd drawing these beans for this post. None of them are really oc’s. I just drew random designs, but I had a lot of fun with it. Finding quirks different species can have, like the large eyes and black pupils for lantern mice, I want to continue to find little things I can tweak with my art style to add more differences between species. I also want to talk about this post a little bit more and the ideas I had along with it.

So quick travel back in time, in my AU, it takes place hundreds of thousands of years after the Saints' timeline. The world has started to recover from the years of eternal winter it was stuck in. Ignoring most of the other stuff that happens (A bunch of lore stuff that I will make a post about in the future) Following the lantern mice while the world is starting to get super cold, a majority that could, found stolace from the cold by traveling deeper into the ground along with the rubble. They grew thicker fur and, as a very large amount of time started to pass, started to evolve more. Colleneys, woking together, social, scent, etc... They began to develop minds for using tools, often using the scrap metal and machinery around them.

So even more time passes by, a huge ice age, long time, and the world is finally starting to warm up. And as it does, it starts warming up enough that the snow and ice that covered the world starts to melt. Enough eventually to starts to flood the tunnels and even deep underground, forcing the mice up and other creatures up. Even more years pass (several generations still, even more time) and we finally stop this magic school bus trip at the time where all my characters and general Au takes place, while lantern mice are still more adapted to the surface than the first ones that came out from the tunnels below. The lantern mice still struggle.

Other mice were used to colonies of mostly themselves. But not the sight of predators. Their brains still have that hardcore prey anxiety from when their ancestors were used as delicious bite-sized snacks. Others are much better at managing it, some only get it when seeing certain features. Like an open mouth or sharp teeth, others want to run for the hills the second they see a lizard. It really depends on the mouse. Another thing I also like is that some small colonies of mice exist that survived on the surface. And so there is a bit of difference in adaptations from the normal glow mice that I'm definitely gonna have to draw sometime in the future.

If anyone has any questions, ill try my best to answer them.

April 2024 Update

At the end in the "Failed Experiment" heading I'll leave that failed experiment. At the start of April I planned on doing a daily update and posting the result as month's end for my monthly update. On day 86 or so I lost track. Only to realize on day 108.

Looking at April in hindsight, what do I think I can learn or what I learned?

I see where I started trying to branch out into multi-day works instead of sticking to a single day and moving on.

Day 65: Was a failed attempt at it.

Day 71 and 72 was the Nek-sliver.

Day 89 and 90 were Pekora Vegetta.

Looking at the naming convention I use, surprisingly Frieren (I have three 76s and she's 2) wasn't one of them. 89 and 80B, paper bag guy, also weren't.

I suppose towards the end of the month I started stretching myself more with fanart.

The Failed Experiment

Monthly Format, yo!

Yo! Not sure what will be here at month's end, but I decided to try this for April, 2024. I don't want to spam daily with my draw something a day project, but I definitely want to make sure I'm reflecting on this stuff to some degree.

Then I had a thought. Doesn't Tumblr have a draft feature?

*returns a day later to see everyone beyond that is missing despite attempts to save*

Arguably.

I hope, hoped, to use the draft to keep a daily reflection written, formatted, etc. while avoiding a daily spam of drawings that I don't feel merit their own posts. Since my plan is, was, will be, to release a collage monthly... well, this seemed a way to kill two bids at once.

Daily Logs

Day 63 - One of the Lost

One of the lost entries. This will be brief unless I come back to rewrite it when I'm in a better headspace.

Primary Goal: Explore CSP's brushes some.

I feel I accomplished that.

Day 64 - One of the Lost

The primary goal of this one was to play around with a certain style's coloring technique some. Maybe even use it as a template for this purpose going into the future so I could jump straight into the coloring section.

I "ran out of time" partway through practicing inking. Looks like I still have an issue with relative brush sizes.

Since I forgot to mark it, no reference used.

Day 65

*Returns to this on day 76, and coughs up a lung* Vacation and illness arc ahead.

Was going to use this over a few days to practice different shading and coloring techniques, but I ended up dropping it due to travel.

Day 66

Quick sketch due to traveling.

Day 67

Another quick sketch. A borderline abstract sketch of my time in Tennessee.

Day 68

Sad frog in the snow.

Day 69

Random quick sketches.

Day 70

Incomplete sketch of an idea. A Sliver in a circular shape. First attempt was coiling it up.

Day 71

A second attempt. The head is circular with the tail and arm blades making the expression.

Day 72

Probably inspired by Albert from "The Girl From the Other Side". I had finished the series a few days beforehand.

Day 73

My most blatant cheat image.

Day 74

Sickness fulling kicking in.

Day 75

Stupid sick sketch. Random doodle became an "Amogus". Then I did a reflected jump scare in the visor.

Day 76

Starting to feel better. Streak tracking app didn't save my things from yesterday so I thought it was day 75 still when I started. Then I got a "there is already a save by this name!" when I tried to save it as day 75.

After the "proper 76" I continued sketching a bit in the style that feels more "right". The eyes are clearly off. I can feel I'm getting a better sense of hair chunk flows. Granted, at my basic skill "better" is relative.

I'm calling this here. With more time I could do more with it. Maybe another day I will, but it is late and I nearing my limit of trying to put off taking my next dose of cold medicine.

Frieren is the subject.

The next day I ended up doing more work on it.

Day 77

Gave a night landscape a try again.

Day 78

A bunch of random shapes and quick practice. I forget what triggered my desire to go back to working on the basicer basics.

Day 79

Maybe inspired by Albert from "Girl on the Other Side". The horn shape was the primary object of my focus on this day.

Day 80

The goal this day was perspective playing. You can still somewhat see where I kept redrawing the eyes, repositioning them, to get the perspective I wanted.

Day 81

Day 81 proper was just a sketch of The Durge from Baldur's Gate 3.

The warmup was inspired by Pikat's Partner's 30 Day Video.

Day 82

Inspired by a meme, maybe a YouTube short? It was a four frame dealio where each layer was improving your "level". Flat image of water in a glass. Then shading it. Then two more of the red water slurping around the glass.

Day 83

Was in a rush between chores, friends, getting my other X times a week things done. A Haro on adult Gon Freecs' body. The left arm really needs more work. At least the forearm.

Day 84

Got a bug in my ear to try a technique for shirts.

Day 85

Wanted to give cold weather clothes a try.

Day 86

Was a second attempt at a sweater. Turned into randomness.

Day... bleh

At some point I lost track of this. Keeping a daily log just ended up being too much for me right now, I guess.

[lostacelonnie]

Truly. School festival? Wild i dont think ive ever been to one of those. Not sure mine ever had them but im glad you had so much fun! Its not completely finished yet i get that done next week but its very cool i love it. I have like. 12 piercings now with still more i want. They were a slippery slope from getting two to all the ones i have & want but i hope you're able to get some in the future. I think i like my eyebrow & lip piercings best. Thats a wild difference damn. Its been sunny mostly cool days right now but we keep going from warmer days to rain/snow warnings here. Oh hell yeah congrats! Strange but positive is the best combination to have honestly. Id also love to check out carnivale if that still happens in italy or mardi gras over here down in louisiana if i had time. Just love the idea of big celebration with cool stuff. Oh sparkle is quantum support with action advance & crit damage (?) boost. She's real good for seele or many teams really. I got archeron! Just need to get her light cone but damn was she cool in the 2.1 story. Not gonna spoil if you havent played through yet. Congrats on your archeron pulls! I think i might save for topaz now & get adventurine later? I do like how he plays but ill grab him later i don't think i have use for him yet. Swarm is so annoying i gave up on it for now terrible fuckin enemies. Mood what set are you usin on archeron? I love her talent too just. Insta enemy kill what a time saver. Really did give her a great & interesting kit. Hm ill have to continue & see how complex she is. Been busy with other games & like. Cosmodyssey & the bartender event in star rail. Oh thats fun i love it keep doin that. Ohh congrats on the writing energy!

yeah school festivals are also pretty rare over here but [thanks to a complete coincidence, i didnt even Know we had those] i ended up in a school that actually organizes one JSDKFJG. would tell you what it is but i feel doxxing my school on tumblr.com is not a terribly good idea. AND HEY THATS AWESOME!!! also yeah i heard it Really Is Like That with piercings shdjfg all my friends said so at least. tbh the only reason i dont have any yet is bc when i was the age when everyone gets their first one [around 8-9 among my peers] i was very physically active and didnt wanna deal with the whole healing process while trying to not get the shit beaten out of me in aikido. so thanks!!! i REAAALLLY wanna get snake bites theyre So cool. AND FOR REAL LIKE???? can the weather Please decide what it wants to do with its life. it was literally raining the whole day today and yesterday i cannot keep dealing with this. esp since today was my first day back to school after the easter break so waiting for my bus was just. miserable. And my classbestie didnt come to school today so i guess i cant have nice things. Oh Well. and for real for real im actually so glad my school doesnt seem to have a single normal person in it because everything is just so much more. chill. and the gossip is Insane i tell you. ever since this year i befriended a bunch of cool alt girls my life had been so much more interesting because they know like everything about everyone. and oh good luck with all that!! i totally agree, tho i definitely have to be mentally prepared for such occasions. Due To The Autism. but yeah theyre SO fun. and oh that sounds like. a very good kit actually. might get her in the future but ahh i still cant quite decide who im gonna pull for next..... only time can tell i suppose. CONGRATS ON GETTING MEI #3!!!!! i maxed out her talents already [thank god for how little time that calyx takes] so i just need to get relics for her now. Auugghhhg. but i decided im just gonna wait for the triple drop event to save myself some sanity and am currently focusing on ruan mei's talents rn since i run her with acheron <- guy who has no welt and his pela is lvl 50 not built. ah thats understandable!!! i was initially Completely uninterested in aventurine but used his trial as a march replacement in my clara team and it all fits together so nicely. speaking of which i literally got clara TWICE yesterday, one pull apart, without pity on standard. the universe loves me i guess. so shes e4 now. FOR FUCKING REAL but at least using acheron in sim uni lets one skip the non boss battles so thats a massive timesaver and also makes dealing with the swarm a lot less problematic. since you only have to deal with the big guy at the end and not trouble yourself with the occasional encounter on the way. seriously tho acheron is so cracked in sim uni. she let me get the achievement for finishing every battle with all allies at 100% hp. im currently using band of sizzling thunder + inert salsotto [LOL] on her!!! as i said. scuffed but does the job for now. but im gonna get her pioneer diver of dead waters + izumo gensei and takama divine realm since i heard thats whats best on her. and yeah her kit is super fun!! and have fun with that!! honestly fair, tho im just stuck in my holy trinity of hi3 - hsr - noita. also i love the bartender event a lot both story and gameplay wise. very very cool. and thankies!!!!!!!

Roommates AU Masterpost

Oh my god, they were roommates...

The perfect compilation of prompt lists for your next roommates story!

Roommates Prompts

There is a blackout in the whole building and now we stumble through our apartment, trying to find some candles.

We all want to save the planet, but maybe starting with recycling is a more reasonable idea than showering with your roommate to save water.

Game night is a very important event in our apartment and we just keep finding new ways to compete with each other.

We decided to deep-clean and declutter our entire apartment, can’t be too embarrassing what we find, right?

The landlord still hasn’t repaired the heater in our apartment and we’re already wearing several layers of clothes, we need to find other ways to keep warm.

Accidently ending a phone call with your roommate with a casual ‘I love you’ seems like a very good reason to move out.

I have work in the morning and I can’t sleep while you’re making music next door, composing love songs for your secret crush.

With a bunch of roommates, the mornings can really turn into HBO’s hit show Game of Toilets.

My alarm is loud enough so you can hear it through the wall, so when I don’t want to get up, you come over to turn it off and drag me out of bed.

The snow storm makes it impossible to go outside, so let’s build a blanket fort and spend the day in there.

Roommates AUs

We’re both moving into the same apartment with a mutual friend of ours but we didn’t know each other and it’s dislike at first sight, but now we’ve got to live together,

There was a spider in my room and yes, you rescued it by putting it outside, but I still won’t sleep in this room tonight!,

Starting a friends with benefits relationship with your roommate quickly blurs some lines…,

We support different sports teams and I think we might went a little overboard with our competitiveness before the big game,​

You got yourself stuck in the bathroom again, I told you we need to call the caretaker to fix the lock on the door, why do you never listen, but yes, I’m getting a screwdriver,

There are love letters coming in the mail but with nothing written on the outside, not even a name, so I always give them to you, because I just assume they’re for you because I think I’ve seen you holding one of the envelopes before and you’re the kind of person that has a secret admirer, definitely not me…,

We just moved into a shared apartment and I find out you like to sing while doing your chores and I really like your voice,

I like cats but no one should love their fur balls as much as you do, but now there’s a storm outside and the cat’s not at home and you’re devasted so now we run through the rain, screaming for your cat,

I have no problem with sharing my Netflix account with you, but if you change my watch list one more time…

Roommates to lovers - Spending time together

cooking at the same time, having to move around each other

having to meet up with the landlord you both dislike

seeing the other play a game and getting asked to join in

having to do some errands for the apartment that you have to do together

getting asked by the roommate’s friends to help throw a surprise party in your shared apartment

trying to not hit anything or each other, when there is a power outage and it’s way too dark

cleaning the apartment together and making a dance party out of it

helping the roommate with a clingy date who just doesn’t want to leave

realizing the other one is sick and bringing them tea and some food

painting the hallway together

doing laundry together or bringing it to a laundromat and waiting together

helping the roommate out by hiding some stuff their parents shouldn’t see, when they come by unannouncedthere is a defective smoke detector in the building and you have to leave the house until the fire department as cleared going back in as save

decorating the apartment together for a party or a holiday

making too much food and inviting the roommate to share it

one roommate locked themself out and now has to go to the other’s work place to get the key

Roommates to Lovers Prompts

Person A keeps ending up in Person B’s bed. It’s just a matter of time until “drunken mistake” is no longer a believable excuse.

As roommates they always play online multi-player games together. People who play with them regularly together just assume that they are a couple.

Person A has been living abroad for a year and now moves back into the apartment they already used to share with Person B before they left. The one year apart seems to change a lot between the roommates.

While caring for Person B, who’s been sick for some time now, Person A slowly starts to shift from the mindset of a roommate to that of a more romantic partner.

Person A wants to make a photo album for Person B’s birthday and realizes while looking through the pictures that over time, they seem to look more and more like a couple.

After a trip to Ikea to get new furniture for the apartment, they soon realise that after successfully assembling a shelf without killing each other, they are basically ready for marriage.

Person A has this habit of not wearing a lot (or anything at all) to bed and it’s getting really awkward for Person B when they both end up going to the bathroom at night.

Person C wants to have their “and they were roommates” moment and tries to get roommates Person A and Person B together.

Roommates Arguments

Things that roommates could argue about:

not doing the dishes

not caring enough for their pets

not repairing damage their pets did

about who can use the bathroom first in the morning

about the people they bring into the shared space

being too loud when they get in late or go out early

never going grocery shopping

eating all of their food

never doing their chores

music or TV is too loud

stealing the other person’s clothes

regularly burning the food they try to cook

not paying rent on time or other bills

about what they will watch for movie night

one being a night owl and the other being an early bird

their partner basically living with them without paying rent

Thinking about the “out of character” aspects of the Backyardigans’ games and stories is really fun

In “Snow Fort”, Pablo and Tyrone are probably playing by the slide. Pablo can climb up to the top to look out from the second floor, but otherwise they’re just underneath it or they’re staying to one side of it and using it to mark the front wall (It’s not strictly either/or - exactly what part of the fort the slide represents would change whenever it’s needed to keep the game going smoothly). When the girls see the snow fort for the first time, that’s them noticing the boys playing over there. This is the point at which their two separate games merge into one. They try to see what’s going on and the boys break character to say that you can’t see us, this is our snow fort and we’re inside! And we just set a booby trap so now the stairs are the slide and you can’t get in! So the girls climb up the slide

In “Cops and Robots” Pablo probably doesn’t want to play a bad guy that day, which is why his robot character in the game keeps malfunctioning and messing up the evil stuff (but Tasha’s bossy and won’t just let him play a good robot)

In “Knights are Brave and Strong”, Uniqua has to go to Austin’s kingdom and what’s one of her obstacles? A gate. And of course, Austin doesn’t share the backyard with the others, so Tasha’s kingdom is the shared backyard and Austin’s kingdom is actually his house’s yard, and the gate in the game is the gate irl

“Robot Rampage”: The episode starts off with Austin saying he’s a robot repairman but lamenting the fact that robots never break so he doesn’t have anything to do. None of the other characters show up until we see the backyard change into the setting for the game. So I’m just picturing the other kids (or at least Uniqua and Pablo since she’s the first one to get involved and he’s the villain ofc) deciding to make up the plot just for him? Like they go “what if someone sabotaged the robots?“ and Pablo volunteers to be the bad guy and then uniqua goes over to Austin with her hand to her ear going “RING RING”

in “legend of the volcano sisters”, when the boys go to talk to the girls in the volcano, the girls are definitely just sitting on top of a picnic table ooc

The whole plot of “Viking Voyage” is just that Tasha is OP and roleplaying in bad faith. The others are playing Vikings and she wants to play mermaids instead so she’s like “WELL ACTUALLY mermaids are even tougher than vikings! And they’re really strong! So I tap your boat like this and it starts to tip!”

“The Secret of Snow”: So Tasha and Austin are playing together, Uniqua goes to try and talk to them/play with them and Tasha’s like biscuit no go play with someone else “Icy wind comes and... blows you away! All the way to... uh to Pablo’s house!” And Pablo’s by his house playing cowboy by himself. He isn’t part of Tasha’s game. But Uniqua melds the games and brings him to Tasha, they show up together and she’s like “ugh the wind blows you away to Tyrone’s house! Go play with him!”

In “Swamp Creature” OOC Tasha and Austin probably just thought that pretending to explore a regular swamp sounded like a boring game (compare it to most other episodes), but the idea of there being a swamp monster would make it interesting. So OOC Uniqua and Pablo are just convincing them to play with them. Tyrone overhears the swamp creature idea and decides to play along

“flower power”: “Hahaha I trapped you in a cage! You’re trapped! See the cage is right here you can’t leave” “Well- I use my FLOWER POWER and escape!” “NUH-UH it’s flower proof!”

“surf’s up:” Austin just like. Spins around and goes “okay guys just pretend I flipped a bunch of times in the air and it’s the raddest move you’ve ever seen 😎”

You huffed. You see a bunch of birds eating the freshly picked berries on the kitchen table near the opened window. You walked up to the table and waved your hand so the birds will leave the berries and fly out the window. "Fly away ya flying feathery little shits."

The birds would always come in to your house whenever you left the window open. It sometimes made you feel special but that feeling turned into annoyance whenever some birds would leave a...Fresh fertilizer...

You sighed. You looked at your basket of berries and yep. Just as you expected. They've eaten almost everything as well as leaving a massive shit. You are trying to hold your laugh because of the dookie that the birds left. You thought you're insane for laughing by just looking at a piece of shit.

You took your gaze away from the basket to recall if you picked all the fresh berries yesterday and then it clicked. "Thank god i didn't picked up all the berries at the one part of the forest. Guess i'll just get a new basket and go out to pick up some barries...Again.."

Looking back at the basket again,you took the pink checkered handkerchief and stared at it. You can't help but remember about that one bird that snuck into your house last night and ate the raw chicken that you left at the kitchen table. You thought it was odd to see a bird eat a bird but not surprised. You thought it was even more odd that the snow white bird has pink streaks and purple eyes... Or was it pink? You don't remember.

You shook your head and took the basket to put it a the storage room and got a new one.

You are a commoner who lives in a cottage at a not so high hill. You lived with your guardian/s before but as time went by and you got older,you thought it is time for you to live alone. It took you so much begging and convincing to your guardian/s to let you live by your own. They hesitated,but accepted nonetheless. They made you promise that you take care of yourself and made you learn cooking,self defense and other survival stuff for you to be ready at any situation that you may occur.

"Welp i'm going out. Goodbye house," you said as you closed the door of your front house. Of course you knew that the house isn't going to respond but it won't hurt to say goodbye to it would it? Certainly not.

.

As you are walking mindlessly at the path to the berry bushes,from afar you see something that isn't suppose to be there. "What the hell is that?," you questioned. You went a few steps closer and squinted your eyes to see a human like figure. "Huh...That figure looks close to a human but... It's too big to be a human...Is it a giant? No way those are real,but that definitely isn't an animal..."

You pondered wether you should come close to the thing or not. You wanted-no,needed to turn back. You don't know if that thing is alive or not and it's for your safety but... Your curious on why such a thing would rest at the berry bushes. And also irritated that someone or something's blocking your way to get some berries.

Not even more than 5 minutes,you have decided that you will check what that thing is and possibly get the berries. That is,if that thing doesn't kill you first.

The closer you went to the thing the clearer you get to see what it looks like. You stopped a few steps away from the thing just incase that thing decided to jump at you. The thing... It looks close to a human but it's tall. It's wearing a tattered brown robe. 'Is it a poor commoner?' You thought. You looked at its face and... "Woah," you whispered. It has a circular face shape and it's face has a waning cresent moon with a nose... And is that an eyelash or make up? It's eyes are closed so it must be sleeping.

You have never seen that kind of thing before. Now that you had a good look at it,your next priority is to get the berries... But the thing is in the way... You gazed back at the thing again and-wait is that oil? Is it bleeding? You didn't remember seeing that black puddle of liquid before. 'Should I wake it up? What if it's a grumpy one? What if it attacked me? But it's bleeding...'

You slightly panicked as the puddle of oil started to become bigger. "Ah fuck it," you muttered. You went close to the thing and gently shook it awake. "Hey... Hey,wake up... You're uhh,bleeding I think... Hey." It stirred and turned but eventually it woke up. "...Wha-ACK!" You flinched as the thing shrieked in pain. It was looking at you with anger.

'Oh fuck it thinks i'm the one who did that fuck' You raised your hands up so the thing would know you're not a threat. "I was walking towards the berry bushes to get myself some berries but then I saw you laying on the ground next to it. I was wondering wether I should wake you up or not because you were sleeping peacefully and I didn't wanna disturb you... But then I saw you uhm,bleeding and I thought I should wake you up... Do you need help? You seem like you need one.." You said.

It seemed to calm down a bit after the long explanation but it still cautious. You don't really mind. It spoke in a gruff voice.

"...And how do I know you're not going to rat me out?"

"What?"

"...How do I know you're not going to-"

"No no I know what you said I just... I don't know-bah!..."

"Why are you asking me that anyways? Did you escaped from prison or something?"

"...No..."

"..."

A moment of silence was surrounding the two of you,but that ended until the thing suddenly groaned from pain. "Ah I forgot about that. Do you want help?"

A minute of silence and it hesitantly said "...Yes...Please..."

You smiled. "Don't worry buddy,i'll help you with the best that i can." You said as you took your long handkerchief and folded it into a rectangular shape.

"How do you feel?" You asked. It slowly stand up but winced and went to sit back down. "I feel.. A little bit better... but it still hurts." It answered. "Well,try not to move much,it might get worse and that's gonna be a big problem." You advised. It hummed in reply. Maybe you should stop calling it "It".

The silence is making you akward. You wanted to know who that guy is. You think helping a stranger that may be a criminal is kinda nuts of you.

The silence is too loud.

You're curios about the man .

You finally asked him "So...What's your name?" He jumped slightly in surprise as if you weren't there with him in the first place. He stared at you,surprised. 'Why is he staring at me? Is there something on my face?' You thought to yourself as you avoided eye contact with him. You wanted to touch your face and wipe off some dirt if there is some on your face but feeling him staring at you made you feel akward.

As if feeling your discomfort,he finally answered "...Moon..." 'Moon...' You thought. Well what did you expect,his face has a moon in it. "The name...it fits you...Moon." His widened in surprise. 'Oh fuck should I have told him he has good name? Oh my god this is embarrassing.' You are dying inside but you still kept the conversation going. "So uhh,Moon. If you don't mind me asking,why are you here bleeding?" He looked away,not wanting to answer your question. Maybe the question was a bit personal-no scratch that,it IS personal... Perhaps you should ask him if he would like you to help him go back to his home. Yes,that is a better question.

"Moon?" You called. He's now have your full attention. "Would you...Like me to help you get back to your home?" You looked up in the sky and realized that it's getting dark. Time sure flies fast doesn't it? "It's getting dark too." You added.

"I...Don't have a...home..." Ah dang this is tough. You can't leave Moon here in this forest especially when it's night but you don't trust him enough to let him in to your house...But he's injured so bad that he can't even stand properly,he won't be able to kill you in your sleep so...

"Would you like to stay the rest of the night at my house instead?" He looked at you,surprised...Again. 'Am I unpredictable or?' You thought to yourself. "...Are you sure?.." He asked. "Yea,you can sleep at the couch." You answered. A few minutes of silence and he finally said "If...You say so." You clapped your hands together. "Great! Now let me help you walk."

He slowly began to stand up again. You went closer to him and took his arm to wrap it around your shoulder. You placed your other hand at his waist a bit above his injured spot as to not hurt him...

Well,this is akward. He's tall. Very tall. He has to be more than 6 feet tall. You just realized now that he is lanky. The massive height difference made you want to chuckle but you gulped it down. "Ok so... I'm gonna start walking now. Are you ready?" You informed him. He nodded in reply. "Ok.. 1..2...3." You two started walking slowly towards your house.

It was night by the time you guys got to your house. You made him sit down on the couch. It didn't fit him but he didn't seem to mind. You told him your gonna make some dinner and if he want to eat. He was about to decline but his stomach growled.

You decided not to laugh to save him from his embarrassment and quietly made some dinner. The rest of the night went on by chatting random stuff and eating dinner. You got sleepy and told him about it and bid him good night. He bid you good night as well. You hummed as you went into you room.

You locked your door for safety incase he sneak into your room and hid your dagger under your pillow. You were about to fall into a deep slumber but...

You remembered about the berries. You forgot to pick up some berries... Goddammit.
