(For the gravity falls x persona au [really fun combination absolutely amazing 100 tokens]) dipper persona concept?: noir style cloak that is made of book leather, with pushpin buttons and paper and stickynotes visible underneath. Two pairs of hands, both covered in roving eyes, with both hands either emerging from the sleeves, somewhere behind, or the gap in the coat. Has hair (either long or short) that looks mildly prehensile, with a hat (either matching noir-style or baseball) that has Mabel’s valentines day heart on the front with the pine tree over it.

Mabel persona concept?: woven body with a shifting oversized sweater. Base color is pink with sparkles, but the sweater is woven with stylized memories so its more of a rainbow. Hands are needles, and shape into gadgets during animations (grappling hook). Scrapbook head with the shooting star as a cover.

sorry if this was rude, have a good one!

I've actually been sitting on Dipper and Mabel's persona designs since I think mid-December (have to reveal them correctly, we'll get them), but I CAN say that you're spot on with the woven body and grappling hook inclusion for Mabel's :]

(also, no worries for the ask!! I like seeing people's ideas and reactions to the au hehe)

At this point I'm just assuming that every person who uses public transit in London has been shoved out of the way by an MI5 agent shouting "MOVE MOVE MOVE" at least once in their lives. it's like jury duty, everybody gets a turn

Your lamb design gives me such gender envy and I want to thank you for that. I love how you made them so muscular because it does make sense that you would need powerful muscles if you were to defeat 5 gods and numerous other powerful beings. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day/night, buff Lamb supremacy. :]

They were very muscular beforehand too! They had to manhandle cultists attempting to kill them and their siblings, and had to work to take care of their own homestead. Cutting wood, farming, building, etc. All on their own! You get a lot of muscle that way.

Joe: It's got elements of classical Greek architecture. As well as elements of not being on the ground, which are distinctly more modern.

clicked for me upon reflection that a lot of the backlash towards callum's treatment of rayla being too forgiving in s4/s5 overall is just... coming from a lack of maturity when it comes to healthy long term relationships (romantic or otherwise). if you love your friend/partner, you should not want to punish them when they mess up - even before they admit that they have. even if you do want to punish them in some manner, because we're all human, you don't because that would damage the relationship and the trust you're supposed to both have in each other.

callum is not going to purposefully punish rayla about anything; rayla quite often holds herself accountable even when he let things go (if anything she sometimes dwells too much on what she's done wrong), but she's also learning to accept grace - and by extension, help (and a lack of accepting help is exactly what led to their main issues in the first place; that was and is on her).

sometimes what's required for relationship repair feels backwards because it can be the things that led to the breakdown in the first place (rayla prioritizing callum over herself in leaving and in S4, because she needs to accept the feelings he does express over her own feelings/wants; callum offering help in s5 even after she's hurt him, because her learning to accept his help is crucial in not having another ttm happening).

relationships are complex. repairing relationships is even more complex. often times our best traits and patterns with one another are also our worst traits and patterns with one another.

and i think it's very cool and refreshing just how well arc 2 rayllum shows that in both its beauty and its hurt and with quite a bit of realism/nuance to boot

I played romance Louis/save Violet for the first time (and last) in my life some days ago and I really didn't expect the game to feel so different without him. Not is his absence only extremely notorious but to quote one of your old posts, the game won't shut up about him.

EVERY SINGLE TIME. They didn't mention Violet even half the times they did with Louis, and it just feels. Awful. Constant reminder that you left him get taken, that he's being tortured and traumatized. It really did hit different, I wanted to think about all the details for Violet's route but I couldn't. THEY KEPT BRINGING HIM UP LIKE OK !! I GET IT !! I KNOW, IM COMING TO HIS RESCUE

and in the end I ended up getting mad Violet suddenly forgot about his existence. I remember you talked about that a lot but since I hadn't experienced it I hadn't realized how bad it was.

When she didn't mentioned him even ONCE, not in the cells, not in the walk home back to Ericson, nothing.

But back to Louis– the game says Louis' name over and over and it makes me feel guilty and I don't like it

That route haunts my nightmares.

When I used to stream, we called the romance Louis/save Violet [+don't trust AJ] route The Despair Route.... you can probably guess why. You're right, the whole thing hits differently when you've built up Clementine's romance with him, only for him to be taken away. Plus, when you do that, your relationship with Violet isn't as strong so not only do you miss out on a lot of Louis content, you miss out on Violet content for not romancing/best friending her.

And yeah, the game will not shut up about Louis when he gets taken. It's actually so fascinating, because Violet doesn't get mentioned nearly as much, so that begs the question of why? Y'know? I mean, we can look at Louis getting captured and conclude that they keep reminding us about him so that we're extra hurt and guilty when we find him in the cells.

But then with Violet? Louis is the one who brings her up most of the time, except when Ruby pulls out her file. But it's odd that the others don't make more comments like they do with Louis. I think we are kind of meant to forget about her? Well, okay, not forget about her but like... The fact that they don't talk about her as much makes her feeling pissed off, forgotten and abandoned all the more powerful, no?

As for Violet forgetting about him, in my opinion that's just a genuine flaw with the writing... because Violet would ask about Louis. I've played her romance route. I believe that in my heart of hearts that she would, and when she doesn't, I'm like ?????

Sure, you can say she's got her mind on other things, or that Aasim already told her what happened to Louis so she doesn't ask when they're in the cells... except she would ask if he's okay.

They're different characters who react to things differently, and that's not inherently good or bad.... but you're seriously going to tell me that the only thing Violet's says to Louis is a sad little, "Lou..." when meeting up with him on the beach? and then she only makes a minor mention of him when talking about pushing people away on the walk home?

No, sir. I think not. I think that's an oversight, especially if you're trying to sell their friendship in her route.

But I suppose in her defense, if you're a Louis fan, you're more likely to be angry about it. We're used to Louis mentioning Violet and then to see her not do the same isn't great. Whereas a Violet fan who prefers her route is more likely to justify why and how it makes sense, y'know? In fact, if a Violet fan plays Louis' route, they probably get mad that she's "forgotten" about a lot prior to the cells so I suppose it balances out?

Also, can I add for both routes how much I side eye the fact that captured Louis/Violet say nothing about the other if they died on the bridge? I get they didn't want to be a downer on the happy ending, and that time has passed so they probably already mourned......... but c'mon. I know Louis can't verbalize but he can write, he can stand by Violet's grave, something. Violet could've said something. Listen, if you're gonna make me suffer through that, give me some of the angst I actually want.

alright I've been circling around this for a while and I'm not promising anything's going to come of it, but i'm putting pen to paper for the fe3h/wind breaker au and I need some help. for anyone who's ever played a fire emblem game (new or old, I don't care about canon universe continuity for this), what classes would each of our beloved golden-hearted delinquents be? my only thoughts thus far are: suo = monk, umemiya = knight/wyvern rider, and kiryuu = dancer/singer class. I am more than open to being swayed in other directions, though, so please help

[afkintheark]

Doing a base check on N&A and I checked the dino finder and there was finally a 150 male giga up! Ran out to find him, he was all by himself just waiting for me so I got him. \o/

He has much better melee than Terra, though she still has better health. Gonna breed some imprinted babies so whenever we feel like hitting Extinction here we'll have some heavy-hitters ready. \o/

We've lost steam on Aras, might even pack up and go back to the Island until full transfers open up. We can bring the new stuff back with us so I can work on breeding in the meantime, and it will be a lot nicer when we can bring our good gear/tames over.

I've also started on single-player and I have a small start on my base, though I'll need some gatherers for what I have in mind. Gonna try to get an argy first, it'll be really nice to just take stuff home to tame. >.>

Potentially setting up future events? The main trio is shown, and a small footage of Amethio is included too (the one from HZ045 when he says that Rayquaza is his quarry).
