I needle felted my friend a little Amy figure before she left the country, I finished her at 4 am and got 2 hours of sleep 🫡
I've only needle felted a couple small things before this (and the last thing I made was 4 years ago). So. I kind of just jumped into it and hoped I wouldn't run into any problems lmao
Ru'thûn is no Osmium royal, she has no common blood with the Hive Gods. she comes from no extant Swarm known to the Vanguard, or even most Hive.
her armour is fluted steel, yet coarse like sharkskin. it is older than humanity, and is so deeply impacted into her chitin that tearing it away would flay her hide. within the fine, granulated crevices of her armour are the perfect growing conditions for fatal anaerobes.
(an old side portrait of Ru'thûn from February 2022. reuploaded from my twitter. feel free to click and zoom in.)
Had Traitor Magolor almost done except for the legs too, lol. My brush settings were way better on this one; I just did the coloring process kinda backwards and was really stubborn about not pulling it into csp to make the EX recolor better, but I still like the results ok. And I’m including a rainbow version of the background I made but didn’t end up committing to both to shorten the post and because I think it’s funny. Bisexual Flag Guy in the Gay Dimension
DID YOU LIKE THE MOVIE AND HOW MUCH DID YOU LIKE IT. TELL THE PEOPLE NOW.
it was good and i liked it a lot. people were right when they said it fucked severely. its PRETTY!!!!! everything about it is better than the first puss in boots movie which ive probably seen seven thousand times
all this time i've been covering my ears going LALALALALA pretending that ~virtual idols~ don't exist and this is what you do to me? and hongjoong and yunho? please never fucking do that again it's an insult to them and real life actual human idols in general
i need to watch the last few tristamp eps but i also kinda dont want to theyve lost me honestly. i hate being like "old thing good new thing bad" but i am not really feeling most of the changes. read more because holy shit i was not expecting this to get so long
maybe its having read trimax thats skewing my perception more than a bit but i don't think a lot of the story changes are that interesting or even good sometimes. Like roberto is really boring imo and i feel like something is shifted abt the tone of the show and the audience's perception of vash by revealing his backstory right out the gate instead of getting the sort of outsider pov of meryl and milly like the start of 98 and trimax did.
the tone is much more heavy and obviously trimax was like that too in the latter half but i think having the entire show be kinda moody feels less impactful than the contrast between the many silly and completely serious moments the og story had. Having lighthearted stuff made more depressing scenes stand out and i feel that duality is also kinda important since the capacity for both good and evil in humans is such a central theme. Idk where i'm going with this theres more i could talk about but it just sucks because i really wanted to love this show despite knowing it was gonna be a reboot and was pretty optimistic going into it but atp i'm just kind of :/ and i doubt that i'm going to do a 180 later and end up loving it.
It also kind of blows that i think stampede is probably a fun watch if youve never seen or read trigun before but if you go back to older iterations after watching it youve already gotten later stuff spoiled. Like i don't think its all bad I enjoyed seeing aspects of the story that weren't in 98 get animated and i do enjoy the animation itself, I'm just not all that invested in it as adaptation anymore
also i will never forgive them for livio and especially elendira's new designs this was my one chance to see them animated WHYYYYYY
