#ty for the q!

Hiii can i ask ur thoughts abt damian... lately ive been a little obsessed and u have such a great grasp on dc canon... id love to hear what u think abt him !!!

for damian, a huge part of his motivation is (both real and imagined) disrespect. there’s this pervasive interpretation of him where he’s a swing the sword first, ask questions later kinda guy, but the truth is that he gets provoked, interprets this as someone being condescending, then acts.

tim is kind of an asshole when they first meet, and damian has no context for when he’s joking or not. dick is an adopted child, who threatens damian’s place in the hierarchy. tim put him on a list of people he specifically doesn’t trust, etc. he can definitely be very rude, absolutely, and a lot of that ties into how addresses people (“grayson” to “richard,” as an example, from his surname to his first name as dick earns his trust). he’s very rude to steph, and ironically damian is also very condescending depending on who he’s talking to, but again he has a high opinion of himself and how he should be treated by others. the biggest change is that he learns that others are also owed respect, regardless of their birthright or status.

a lot of this ties into bad faith interpretations of him as a literal feral baby, when that just isn’t reflected in canon at all. he’s talia’s kid, he was raised as literal royalty, and he does not need etiquette lessons from alfred pennyworth. he doesn’t bite people at galas, he doesn’t need help to do his math homework, and he respects u when u prove urself to him. he starts out with a very distinct black and white idea of the world, and slowly learns otherwise.

im a big fan of steph and damian’s friendship in particular, because like dick she exists in opposition to his worldview. she isn’t a wayne or an al ghul, she’s just a person who independently decided to do good. she was also mistrusted to the point where it led to her death, but she is still kind, still loving, and still motivated by empathy. the same as dick being batman, that’s confronting. she looks past what everyone else sees (the al ghul heir, a murderer, etc) and acknowledges that he’s a little kid who’s never learnt to play.

because he’s prickly, it’s easy to misinterpret his intentions. the same as bruce, even when he’s being respectful, people can assume the worst out of him. and that’s hard! he genuinely wants to do good. he has to unpack so much in his head about how to act, and what the idea of respect means in this new context. him being robin is a crucial part of that — it isn’t an insulting mantle as a placeholder for his eventual ascension into the bat, it’s simply something more.

Favorite springtrap head-canon?

100% that Ballora was based off of Williams wife. That all the love and loss he felt went into her conception and design.

I've become enamored with your KOS comic 🥰 I was wondering what language you are basing the names and pronunciations on?

thanks! most of it is scots gaelic, though the names can come from a variety of places/languages (most of the main cast's names come from mmo characters of mine, so they had to be unique, that's why they're so odd lol)

@johnnystorm​ ohhh this one is good

okay so i’d say she’s mainly Physical Touch and Giving gifts! She often horn nudges and wraps her tail around people she cares about (both romantically and non!) and loves to leech other people’s body warmth so she’s a HUGE cuddler. She also will play with her lover’s hair if its long enough, she’d be the type to braid and unbraid someone’s hair repeatedly to stim with it.

She also loves to give handmade gifts! she loves to sew her close friends and lovers new outfits or trinkets; one of the biggest love acts for her is letting her take your measurements so she can knit you something. Big or small she loves to give gifts. She’s not very good with words generally so she loves to do non verbal acts of love!!!

on the flip side though, she LOVES to receive verbal love affirmations and acts of service. she loves to be treated!!

Since im gonna be more here, does anyone have any questions? Either abt me or Sapph? :3c

Hehehehe, I read your Tweet about the canvas size on your phone, but what app do you use for drawing because your drawings are very gorgeous. =]

I currently use Ibis Paint X! I've been using the program for years and honestly its great for being mostly free! I really recommend it!

And ahh thank you so much! It makes me happy that people enjoy my art and find my pieces nice to look at 🩷💕🫂

VN Update

Ok, here's a more in-depth look at the visual novel (still a WIP) since the last post was too short. Bunch of dev stuff + in-progress screenshots below the cut.

CGs so far:

(still working on these + the car one + the bgs ;-;)

Some of the bgs might just be blurry polarized irl photos (kind of like og higurashi), I'm not drawing more backgrounds than I have to.

Graphic design (is my passion):

(the cursor cycles between different pairings and the default anti-centrism ball depending on what you hover over/which screen you're on)

Misc. :

I've got the general story + scenes already mapped out but writing and coding everything might take a while (aiming for a ~10k word script?, currently have 2.5k). Hoping to have something playable by Q2 2024 (This originally said March lol).

QnA

q: how done is it?

a: ~30%

q : plot summary?

a: You (the player but also just Me) fall asleep while studying and hang out w/ the extremists and watch them bicker with each other. It's all a dream,, or is it?? (very clever meta writing)

q: can I help with development? :3

a: I'm hoarding all the creative control, it's all mine. (sorry). Playing it when I finally get around to releasing a build + adding some feedback would already be more than enough help. :]

q: why make this at all?

a: (what no friends does to mf) I thought It'd be fun to work on! I got into centricide around mid-2020 and while I thought I left it behind.. idk my obsession with it is back now I guess. (real answer: authunity. I'm not even joking those two are my only reason for doing any of this.) also I just genuinely like visual novels as a medium (massive weeb).
