The punchline was originally just gonna be the last panel, but I thought it'd be funnier if he didn't even realize it for a long time lolol

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

Had to complete my heart eyes set with the ones I had for Valentine's and Norman's birthday week.

Wait………isn’t sora or in kh sora turn into a pure blood heartless, if so he wouldn’t be having that kind of emblem because that shown in artificial heart less that ansem created

Unless I miss and forgotten something 

Right you are, but personally I find the distinction between pureblood heartless and artificial heartless to be kinda shaky!

Emblem heartless are the only ones capable of releasing hearts, seemingly implying they're the ones made from hearts while pureblood Heartless are born from darkness itself. Heartless were given that name for a reason after all! Shadows and Darksides are seemingly born from the realm of darkness itself, but they're also said to be born from the darkness within people's hearts. Even the first game states that emblem heartless are artificial, and yet one of the first scenes you get that establishes Heartless as a threat shows a man's heart floating away before a Soldier forms around it! The wiki pages writes this off as the heartless stealing his heart, and maybe that's what it was meant to be, but it really looks like the heart turned into an emblem heartless to me. Heck, in kh3 Mother Gothel gets turned into an emblem heartless when she dies, and so does Hanz!

For simplicity's sake in this au, I'm just saying that the emblem is something that represents ALL Heartless, but some just don't have emblems for one reason or another. Invisibles, for example, have the same heart shaped hole that Darksides have, thus even if they are formed from a heart instead of pure darkness then they don't need an emblem. With this in mind, since Sora is formed from his own unshackled Heart, he's got an emblem like Ansem SOD, but when he goes into antiform or tiny shadow mode his darkness is taking hold temporarily and overshadows that semblance of humanity. This is also how I explain away the friendly Heartless like White Mushrooms and Flaan, by the way; Emblem Heartless are acting out of emotion and instinct instead of logic and some of them are just sweet little guys at heart!

This headcanon/au change also ties into why Roxas has an emblem despite being one of the more human looking Nobodies. Also, in this au Nobodies aren't THAT rare, but what is rare is a nobody retaining their human appearance out of sheer strength or willpower, but otherwise if someone creates a Heartless they also make a Nobody too. There's a lot of headcanons and reinterpretations going on in this au tbh! Sometimes you just have to rewrite things a little <3

Genuine thought experiment: if a bob's burgers spinoff was created (regardless of the status of the main show) what would u want it to be focused on? who would you want to be the main characters and story etc

[probablygayattorneys]

Okay, now that I've had time to get my bearings and sit with Another Code and really think about what I want to say about it, I am prepared to do so.

First off, the Switch remake is not Trace Memory. In fact, if you were like me and played Trace Memory as a kid but then it kind of fell off your radar and you didn't buy a used copy on eBay to replay it before you replayed the remake, you would be forgiven if you had a little niggling feeling that you couldn't place that you had seen all of this somewhere before, but not where. Ashley's name isn't even the same - Robbins is spelled with only one b, which I do understand is the same as in the original UK version, but was still quite jarring to someone who's only played the US version.

I didn't feel like I was playing the same game. There's not a single puzzle that I remember as being the game, and where the original made use of it's hardware, so too does this game, having puzzles that depend on the gyroscope, which might be frustrating if you're playing in docked mode and the controller you tend to use doesn't have gyroscope controls.

It is certainly more fleshed out. There are more parts of the map that you get to visit, and you learn more about the Edwards family, though it also felt like it unraveled more threads than it was willing to wrap up, which is peculiar because it also got rid of one of the most interesting aspects of the original game, which is the multiple endings. No matter what you do, the game funnels you into the "good" ending, which I won't say more details about, just in case anyone reading this hasn't played it. This is a little annoying, because it feels like it's taking away one of the things about the game that made it so special, that the choices you make ultimately matter, but is also overshadowed by the fact that I suck at this game and always have, so I never got the good ending on my own, so now knowing why what happened had to happen and how things ended up the way they did... it's nice to have the closure I was never skilled enough to achieve on my own.

Another cool aspect of this game is that Sayoko being Japanese is not incidental - they actually spend time explaining various aspects of Japanese culture, instead of DTS cards Richard's diary is left on origami cranes, and there's a sweet moment where they talk about the meaning of the name Mizuki. As well, there's actually more depth given to Sayoko's character, even though she was still fridged.

So ultimately... Is it a faithful 1:1 recreation of the source material? No. In fact, you might feel frustrated because it feels like the game is treating you with kid gloves - from things like the forced good ending to the fact that anytime you're working on a puzzle, you just have to press a button to get hints and if you go through all of them it basically just tells you the answer straight out - which, in all fairness, it is.

But is it still worth playing? Yes. It's still a good game, even with the oversexualization of Ashley and the fact that with the camera, you spend most of the game looking directly at her ass and she's 13 years old. If you like puzzle games, which if you don't why are you even following me, it's definitely a worthy entry into that catalogue, which does seem to have been drying up lately.

Now, do I want them to make a remake of Hotel Dusk in the same style?

Hell fucking no. The game was good, but not "I trust you with my baby" good.

series 3 is so frustrating because there is like a shining core of pure diamond underneath the problems . like conceptually it rocks so incredibly hard. but the problems

[anirritant]

uuughhhhh why does my brain keep lingering on serious scenes that im worried i won't be able to handle tactfully

not thinking about it and making stupid dumb shit is so much easier 😔

[quietwingsinthesky]

at some point i am going to have to force even to go back and deal with donna & tentoo & rose & all and everything they ran away from. and that will probably involve them losing tentoo’s chameleon arch watch by giving it back to its rightful owner, whether she chooses to open it or not. and that is. not going to be a very fun or stable time for them.

Around the time Amity starts revealing more details about her childhood to Luz and Hunter, Odalia starts getting very disturbing oracle dreams about what might happen to her if she decides to visit the castle 😁

LMAO. one of my favorite stupid headcanons for canon toh is hunter terrorizing odalia between eclipse lake and hollow mind as a sort of "uh, sorry for trying to kill you and threatening your luz" peace offering to amity. i like to imagine he could find time to do something similar here. he's a resourceful dude!

Do you all think Blanche feels responsible for Dorothy's wedding to Lucas?

I mean, they only went out alone in the first place because she didn't want to miss out on a one night stand. She's the one who arranged the "date" that brought them together. Do you think she feels guilty? Do you think she blames herself? Do you see her laying in her bed at night, right after the announcement, thinking about how she let a passing fancy blind her to the point where she's losing one of her great loves and there's nothing she can do about it anymore?

Do you? Because I do.

Will you be commenting on the Taylor drama?

I love the way this was worded, like I'm one of the siblings on Succession and the press has cornered me outside my penthouse to ask if I'll be releasing a statement on my family's latest scandal. Hehehe anyways.

Sorry but I just don't understand how anyone is shocked. Truly what has that woman ever done to successfully convince people that this is out of character for her. Like I don't want to diminish anyone's pain or anything but I see all these stans on here and over on Twitter in all this distress, having their very first epiphanies like "Hold on . . . does Taylor . . . suck??" And I kinda just have to chuckle at them cause like bless your hearts babes, but omg catch UP 😭

Lol because 1) she is a severely emotionally stunted person who thinks edgy British "bad boys" are hot like she's 12 years old, 2) she has no true deeply-held moral principles outside of issues that directly affect herself, and 3) truthfully, she seems to be suffering from a serious crisis of identity after the end of the longest and most significant romantic relationship of her life, and in my opinion is pretty clearly desperate to prove something to the world/her ex/herself.

The first reason is cringe but not news to longtime viewers, the second reason is pathetic but also not news (to those who can be honest with themselves), and the third is . . . understandable in some sense, but not pitiable enough to make me willing to humor this insufferable little episode she's having. I wish her luck on this humiliating rebound journey, but she is gonna have to walk that road on her own.

Normally, I always roll my eyes when people make these kinds of jokes, but given the circumstances I feel justified in saying: I can't wait to hear the breakup song about him, sis 🤡

There's this new trend happening in the former bird app where people show how long it'd take for a character to apologize by drawing the head and a line connecting to an apology at the end. And honestly, I'm not good at keeping up with trends but this one is fairly easy to do so!

Good timing too cuz I've been thinking bout the scenario of Alec and Ray arguing so I took this chance to do my own spin on the trend!

Also this is what Ray said for easy reading (and for better viewing cuz it's pretty hard to do bold and italic on a single word in ibis):

"Can't you be a little selfish for once?! Can't you at least just THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT CARES ABOUT YOU?! Think about your parents! Think about your siblings! THINK ABOUT ME! IT! HURTS! Every single time you go to who knows where, it hurts! My chest tightens so much and my mind is filled with so much worry at whatever the FUCK you're doing and I don't! I don't even know where you are, WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

And the thought of opening that damn door to someone telling me you're in critical condition or worst yet-- dead-- HURTS! SO MUCH!"
