[23fallencomets]

drafted the logan-tina-teammates-mentor-older-grid-brother-former-indy-car-driver fic (which has a name now!!) and halfway through the first chapter realized that I had to retire at least 6 drivers 😭😭😭 oh god. the thing is that i already had an idea on who would be retired

You ever gonna make poorly drawn TGCF?

Long answer short: No.

But, I have a tag for TGCF fanart I've done, and I probably will draw more in the future!

If you're looking for a comic with 'silly summary' energy, I *highly* recommend Tempo-Takoyaki's 'Almost TGCF' Series.

[4/5] Dear my fellows - Chapter 4 || Ootori Emu

[ace-and-the-rpg-horrors]

i was sort of wondering why exactly i've been sympathising with Eva so much, apart from, admittedly, bias- i did start considering that due to that, maybe i'd been internally exaggerating how Wolfgang & Co had been treating her. but i replayed some of Chapter 1, and honestly? now i'm of the opinion that Eva was justified to be afraid of Wolfgang, even if what she did in response was inexcusable.

because it wasn't just that Wolfgang told the others to be wary of Eva (and Damon) which caused them to feel othered. consciously or not, he literally attempted to control their movement on at least two occasions- when he attempted to stop them joining in on the exploration of the pharmacy, and then when he demanded to know where they were when they reached the dining hall last.

in his defence, i don't think Wolfgang was being malicious in doing so, i reckon he did genuinely believe he was protecting the others. but in doing so, for the two members of the group he disagreed with, he actively attempted to further restrict their freedom- in a situation where they're all already trapped!! i'm not surprised that Eva, with frustration, mentioned during the trial how much she'd been watched and suspected- multiple times, if i recall correctly. of course it got to her.

but that probably wasn't even the scariest part for her. it was probably just how easily Wolfgang had taken a leadership role within the group and how willing they were to listen to him without question. only Diana really spoke up against him on one occasion and got him to begrudgingly "allow" Eva and Damon to tag along. i mean, on that note, the fact that Wolfgang even casually commented that he wanted group decisions to be allowed by him, following the minor incident of Desmond taking initiative and checking the room locks, was extremely alarming!! like i mentioned, i don't want to villainise Wolfgang, but it does seem like he has the tendency to be rather controlling, whether or not he realises it. i would be willing to bet that the herd mentality implication was done completely on purpose, considering that Wolfgang's animal motif is a sheep and the writing team have done the symbolism in the game so well.

for all this, i can understand Eva's point of view. i know that, as Wenona had mentioned, there's a chance that Eva didn't actually feel threatened by Wolfgang, but i personally am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. because if she was honest about being on edge, that would be a rather reasonable emotional response, in my opinion.

what else are you to feel when you're at odds with an honoured individual who effortlessly holds the power to turn so many others against you too and potentially put your safety at risk, if not terror?

He chuckles low at my confusion. "You think I don't recognize my own casting or sense its absence?" He leans close to whisper in my ear. "I can feel them, Briana. The Oaths I've cast." His eyes drift across my face and throat. "And I don't feel any of me... on you."

Fuck it. Give me a character in the tags/reblog and I’ll draw them as a furry.

While yes, Viktor is confident too, but...

This man isn't shy? He's hyperventilating and nervous-tapping over the idea of giving a speech!

This man?

I guess Im not getting across like, the Vibe that I always see that bothers me? Viktor's got the social anxiety for sure, and it's VERY fair to assume that his condition makes him even more self conscious to be up in front of a crowd full of topsiders. He's pretty clear in episode 1 that he's aware of how topsiders see him and his cane use, and that's before his disability is even more visible.

But ALSO very few people ARE good on a stage in front of tons of people. And also there's a very specific connotation to "shy" that is beyond social anxiety.

Shyness to me, is its own flavor of social anxiety plus timidness. The actual definition is a bashful, timid nervousness. It has connotations of the wilting flower personality. Viktor, even when he's quiet around other people doesn't come across as nervous or timid in the slightest. His first introduction has him VERY confident and collected surrounded by enforcers and not taking Jayce being snappy and angry at him. As a kid there's more of an argument to be made because what awkward socially isolated kid isn't going to be shy. But at the same time he doesn't try to shrink away from Sky's attention, he still looks right back up at her, he just keeps on doing his own thing. Mostly he comes across as someone who does not know how to casually interact with people so he doesn't. He's got tunnels in his eyes lmao.

Viktor is complicated. Viktor is nuanced. It's why he's Ultimate Blorbo. He's withdrawn and awkward and not very good at interacting with people, but he's not timid about it. He is very self assured in himself.

But when I say fandom makes him shy it IS much more of the wilting flower timid woobie that I kept seeing in Season1 fics. There was SO MUCH of Viktor being the nervous soft spoken anxious thing who was just so happy Jayce was even giving him the time of day as if Viktor didn't sass Jayce about his notes right after he stopped the man from jumping lmaoooo

And idk not to be TOO OBVIOUS with my projecting but it's the part of Viktor I can relate to the most. I consider myself a quiet person who gets annoyed when people think that me being quiet = shy. I'm able to speak up well on zoom calls with colleagues and I also would rather drop dead than have to go up on a stage in front of a bunch of normal people who I know were expecting someone very different. I get nervous and shaky speaking up in front of a crowd of colleagues even! but afterwards I can go right up to people like "your presentation was insane tell me more right now." I am often quiet and uncomfortable in large social situations because I know that most people there are operating under a different wavelength than I am, I do not know what the right responses to things are, or I full on do not know how to not accidentally come across as a huge asshole and I don't want to be an asshole. And when I was younger I would have so many people come up and act like I was a little wallflower (bc oh boy can I also relate to being quiet while physically small meaning being constantly infantalized) who "didn't need to be so shy" and every time I was like "I'm not shy. I just don't feel any engagement with this conversation and I don't want to be a dick and tell you that, but if you gently tell me it's ok to talk one more time I'm gonna start biting."

(It got better as I got older bc I learned that if you're quiet but making active eye contact instead of staring off into other directions - not to avoid attention but because you're just thinking of other shit - people will stop labeling you as shy and instead say "intimidating" or "mysterious" which is also hilarious when what you're thinking about is "machine herald big naturals lmao" but it's better than being labeled "shy")

while i'm waiting for the muscle relaxer to kick in, i wanted to share what i remember from the original plans of lost kitten :p

basically, the whole story was... reversed. They knew he was Shuichi the whole time (Kokichi did anyway Xd), but they didn't know he was a Creaturr. he had shapeshifting powers originally!

(right to left)

and hey i actually have an animation with this old version. dan the dancer by mitski

otherwise i don't think there were TOO many changes? not that i can remember anyway :p

another other random thing too, cus i found my notes for it. the fic could've been called "remember to be patient", as a callback to the OMORI soundtrack. Between the name and the general feel of it...and also the fact you hear it in the snowy enviorment of the game...it jusr felt like it fit xD

do you have a waitlist for commissions by any chance?

Hi, thanks for asking! I don't usually open waitlists for comms, I open them very sporadically and they take a long time to complete, I always feel a little ashamed asking people to wait for an indefinite amount of time...

Me and @luposlipaphobya are currently working on our next big project with a tentative release in November (and I'm working on smaller booklets of my own 👀) so I don't think I'll be able to take on commissions until December! I'll post something about it once it's there though :D Thanks for the interest!

also i did start drafting an adansey jennifer's body au 😔 i know what i like i guess. if anyone knows the plot it was adam as jennifer (cabeswater deal -> becoming a demon), gansey as needy (nerdy, the 'good girl gone bad' sort of thing), and blue as chip (sorry blue but also the bluedansey love triangle makes me crazy). and of course jennifer's body ends with most of them dead so it was a tragedy but. oh. i can see it in my head
